1) There is almost no chance Austin gets a major league team in the big sports. The NFL and MLB have two teams within 200 miles, and the NBA has 3. These franchises aggressively defend their territory, and they will not take the competition lying down. Throw in that UT football takes the place of the NFL in Austin, and the Spurs are a little over an hour away...well, it's just not going to happen.
2) F1 may seem like a big deal in Austin, but nationally nobody cares. Internationally maybe, but not the US. F1 has been tried here before, and it failed miserably. It's a nice thing, but to expect it to be some major tourist draw for Austin is really pushing things.

So basically, nothing will work for Austin. Gotcha.
