If Austin had plans to run the light rail out there, build some roads, use the buses, etc., it might work, but they're treating it like a burden and doing their best to avoid it. Just getting from the airport (which doesn't have rail support) to the track will be a mess even with a car.
I have two sisters that both live near downtown Austin and one's an F1 fan. I'd absolutely love for this to work out, but it's a mess.

I visit Austin often and have actually been out to the construction site. It is not as bad as you are making it out to be. It is actually very easy to get out there. Just go down the 183 and take the FM812. The city had already started construction on the FM812 adding lanes in an out.
