Austin F1 Fans Drank US$2.8 Million Worth of Alcohol, More Than Any Other Venue in Texas…



Last November, the Circuit of the Americas in Austin, Texas, hosted its inaugural Formula 1 race, which was also the penultimate event of the 2012 season. Austin was the 10th track to host the U.S. GP and it marked F1’s return in the country after a five-year absence.
