The reports are "within 15 miles of the airport".
That would put in out towards Bastrop or south towards San Marcos.
West or north wouldn't work for environmental reasons and the real estate costs would be huge.

How about east of the airport, near the new 130 Toll Road. There's lots of land out there for miles at a time.
So basically they have 2 yrs to build this track since the first race is in 2012. The official location should become known sooner than later.

Yes there is here, not sure if it is the seed of an F1 circuit, either way, hope the track will be open to organized events for track junkies the rest of the year!
