Give them a season. Once the season sees how much income pours in over a race weekend, they'll go out of their way to keep the grand prix on the F1 schedule.
I agree with you on the location, though. I'd never go to Austin either, if it weren't for Formula 1. I'm still hoping that F1 will set up shop on one of the coasts in the future. If only someone had cash to revamp the facilities at Laguna Seca or Watkins Glen... I can dream, right?
