a sell out on sunday they say,close to mexico who have a lot of fans and people fyling in for the new GP track they reckon so thats good,they haven't really given me a birdseye view o fthe track but no doubt see it over the weekend

If it is sold out it is probably more due to Americans and other foreigners than Mexicans.  Just saying... Probably not too many rich Mexicans coming up to help sell it out.  I just think your assumption is off.


that's what the telly people said not me,

formula 1 isn't for poor people though anyway but they were probably talking about perez fans.it won't get any closer than austin texas if mexicans want to see him,i assume there are quite a lot of mexicans in the usa down there,but again i wouldn't really know

Well looks like I was a little wrong about my assumption.  After mentioning to my friend he confirmed that Perez fans showed up on Sunday in decent numbers decked out in their country colors, etc.  They didn't show up too much during Friday/Saturday but on race day they showed up in decent numbers.

yes i was pretty sure mexico like their formula 1,i know it is a big area but austin is as close as they can get right now,i can't imagine mexico will have to wait long for a GP of their own as the country is pretty big and getting richer

Austin GP should grow quite well if it can stay their permanently and get a foothold for F1 in the usa,i will definitely pay a visit one day that's for sure


Telmex's involvement and drivers like Perez and Gutierrez will be great promoters of a Mexican event and for example I feel a street circuit such as in Mexico City would be the wrong approach.
