AUSTIN (KXAN) - The Formula one race and Downtown's Fan Fest brought the star to Austin in droves.
Singers Dev and Nelly performed. Carmen Electra and Cedric the Entertainer were part of the high-end party scene.
Ballet Austin on Saturday night was transformed into a Monaco-style nightclub. The My Yacht part even had champagne with 24-karat gold flakes.
Actor Patrick Dempsey, who races cars, took some practice laps around the Circuit of The Americas track and came away favorably impressed.
"This is going to be a great place to come and race," he said. "I think what has to happen is we really have to gain the trust of the F1 community."
On Sunday night, the Wallflowers will headline the after-party at the Moody Theater. Other acts at the venue will include Lupe Fiasco, Juanes and Fitz & The Tantrums.
