The venue has established itself as a firm favourite, as much for the fun to be had off-track as the great racing on it. But now it's time to spread the message further, says JAMES ROBERTS

Weird is an understatement. The giant Les Paul guitars that adorn the luggage carousel in the airport, accompanied by a blues soundtrack in the arrivals hall, remind you that Austin is the self-proclaimed live music capital of the world.
