India to host Formula One race in 2011

Thanks for sharing it! In West Bengal one such track was supposed to come up but I don't know its current status.

i think good news for Indian formula one fans... :)

Formula-1 will be a good kind of craze for India and Indians.We have lots of speed frenzy drivers in India and specially in Delhi.

It's no doubt very exciting to watch.When these facilities are created I am sure it would catch the imagination of our youth.

thats a great news.. but the check point is "if the circuit meets the criteria" and will it be ready?????? million dollar question after seeing CWG problems.

That is good improvement in India and shows signs of development

This is a very proud news this will bring lots of employment for all the Indian sports and supporting staff for this sports.

Karthikeyan hit the road on the back of Indian sponsorship reportedly worth 10 million dollars.

The 29-year-old did not race in 2006 but is signed up with Williams as a test driver.

Indian business tycoon Vijay Mallya stated earlier this month that he was determined to bring a Formula One race to his country after confirming he had bought a 50 percent stake in the Spyker team.

Millions of Indians watch F1 on television, often with the same passion they reserve for the country's most popular sport - cricket.

Now the question is whether we can meet the rigorous standars that these tracks require.It entails huge investment too.

Chinmoy,

dreams,we spend our half of life in dreaming and rest in making them true. Hope it will

Yes sajee i think it is next most popular sport after cricket..and some south indian actors like AJIT and even Sachin are fans of the game..

I think India has to handle it carefully or else like the common wealth games this too will start and end with controversies. :S

yes it is a great news for sports in india....

thanks for sharing the information...

@Sajeetharan

True enough! We,Indians,indulge in all kinds of dreams- day dreams,night dreams,morning dreams,evening dreams......!!!

Mark Hughes, vice-president (operations) of Jaypee Sports International Limited (JPSI), said the work is on schedule and they will not go the CWG way. “There is absolutely no question of missing our deadlines. Jaypee Group is putting their own money to build the track. It’s not like Commonwealth Games which is handled by government agencies,”.

Hope it goes on well. :)
