F1 circuit at Greater Noida taking shape

With the World Motorsport Council adding India in next year's Formula One calendar, motorsports enthusiasts in India can look forward to the Indian GP at Greater Noida in October next year.


The track of the Indian GP, promoted by Jaypee Sports International, has been designed by German designer Hermann Tilke and the promoters are confident that the $ 350 million project will be grand success.
"We realised that we have to make the track right. We shared the design of track with few of the top teams and their drivers.

They put the design in their simulators and advised us about the changes that would the circuit more challenging. And we made those changes. It will be a great driver's track," Mark Hughes, vice-president, operations, JPSI told Mail Today. The track is 5.14km long with 16 corners. It has been built on 350 hectares of land with the fastest corners on Turn 10 and 11. Apart from F1, there are plans to have MotoGp and World Superbike series here too.
