"Anything is possible in Texas. If you don&amp;#039;t believe that, drive a few miles into the hill country near the Austin airport, where you&amp;#039;ll find a $500 million Formula 1 track surrounded by trailer parks, junkyards, and low-income housing. There are many places you expect to see Lewis Hamilton and a 3.4-mile, Hermann Tilke-endorsed speed stadium. Until recently, Austin scrubland was not one of them.  The brand-new Circuit of the Americas is a beautiful thing, but it pales in comparison to the circus it was built to host. For a few days last November, and against ferociously strong odds, Formula 1 came to Texas. Against even stronger odds, the visit was a huge success. Three R&amp;amp;amp;T staffers-Editor-in-Chief Larry Webster, Executive Editor Sam Smith, and Senior Editor John Krewson-trekked to Austin with press passes, ancient film cameras, and a deep-seated love of the art inherent in the sport. Road Test Editor Robin Warner took to the stands, where he chomped barbecue and developed a strong appreciation for the common school bus. Each of us returned with a big grin and renewed faith in the sport. Finally, F1 is here again. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
