Indian GP Track preview

As you all know F1 is going to India this year and i thought with the F1 2011 Game coming out soon, Id find a clip of what the Indian Track will look like.

It looks stunning with a lot of places to overtake including a massive straight.

The race will be held at the Buddh International Circuit in Greater Noida, 50 km from Delhi. The circuit will be roughly 5.14 kilometres (3.19 miles) and will be designed by F1 circuit designer Hermann Tilke. The track will be spread in an area of 875 acres. The initial seating capacity is speculated to be around 150,000. However there are plans to increase the seating capacity to 200,000 later on. The sprawling circuit will be a part of Jaypee Green Sports city and will also be used for hosting one or more rounds of Moto GP championships in the year 2012. The 10-year contract for the race has been given to the Indian construction company Jaiprakash Associates.

The track in all has 16 largely medium speed corners where F1 cars will lap at an average speed of 210 km/h. The back straight will let F1 cars reach 320 km/h making it one of the fastest tracks in the world. The expected F1 car lap time is 1 minute 17 seconds. The organizers have also taken feedback from teams which have done the track analysis via simulators leading to modification of the turn 7 in order to maximize overtaking opportunities into banked turn 10. A grand stand with a capacity of 13,000 will overlook the turn 10 and turn 11 giving the F1 fans an opportunity to be a part of the action.

Bonjourno!

India should be ashamed. Yes the track looks nice and it is very impressive but the country is a farce.

How on earth can Premier Cameron still allow precious British Tax Payer Funds to be paid as Foreign aid to the Indian Government?

Clearly, the Indian Goverment have cash to waste on a space program and to buy F1 tracks while the people on the streets slip into poverty further and children can't go to school as their family is so poor they need the income they bring in.

How many of the destitute and poor of India will be attending the GP of India?

Surely F1 should look at this situation and decide on a proper code of ethics and a certain criteria for countries bidding for GPs as this is a disgrace to the modern world.

I'm all for GPs in other countries but where will this stop? Ethiopia? Sudan? Pakistan?

Forza Alonso!
