Though he encountered some resistance, the powers that be eventually allowed him to race in the interest of fairness and diversifying their own market, though you'll find it interesting the rules that apply to him are a little more stringent than those that apply to the Japanese imports.

 F1 News > A new Spanish racing circuit? - Grandprix.com
It seems from our investigations that this is a little exaggerated at the moment although the town of Tineo, located 20 miles to the west of Fernando Alonso's home town of Oviedo has grand plans for a "Motor City" which would include a track on which F1 cars could test and a motorsport business park.
The final plan however is rather less grand than envisaged with the first stage of the project being a karting facility of around 0.6-mile with a budget of only around $9m.
The region has not a racing circuit since the 1920s when the Lasarte circuit, which ran on roads in the countryside behind the town of San Sebastian, was operational.

 Metroblogging Lahore: Road Racing Circuit in Lahore...
However, a professional racing circuit is not a bad idea, as long as enough international events are organized to justify its building cost.
In the UK every sunday locals are allowed to go to their nearest circuit and have a 'go' provided they pay a relatively minimal fee.
Plus, racing circuits can easily last decades after which all they need is some overhauling of the tarmac's, so in theory (and to be honest its very possible in practice too), you will not only be able to recoup the cost of the circuit but get a shitload of profit fairly soon aswell.
