Original thread about Indian GP F1Technical- Indian GP at last!!!

The thread was started back in '06, and originally the GP was planned for 2010.

And the news you provide 'DaveKillens' is also here at F1T...

I happened to pass by the site of the race track (under construction) last month.
Horrible !
I guarantee this is gonna be the worst GP ever !!!!

[modbaraban]

I won't believe it can be any worse than Valencia GP until I see it. Any links?

[andartop]

I have nothing against the beautiful Indian people's GP but do they really have to move all the races to Asia and Middle East? What's next then, the first Israeli GP?

[natef1]

No doubt India and the Asian continent has massive potential but I can't see this going anything other than badly, or at least, boringly.

On a side issue I can't even believe Abu Dhabi is going to be the last race of the year for 2009..

What's next then, the first Israeli GP?

You know I wouldn't be surprised. Or maybe Iraq? Russia? Korea? They could happen.. 2017 or so?

The races will follow the money. It's not inconceivable that we'll someday see just 3 or 4 races in Europe (a "European GP, + Italy, Germany, and maybe one more?); 2 or 3 races in South America; no races in North America; and the rest in Asia and the Middle east. Iraq, Russia, and Korea could happen long before 2017 -- 2012 sounds reasonable. It all depends on who will bend over for Bernie. (Calm down Max! I was referring to race organizers and sponsoring countries!)

This is the site where the track is gonna come up . It is gonna be about 5Km long .
But what worries me more is the fact that Jaypee Group who are constructing the track are not dependable enough.These people were in charge of renovating the Delhi international airport ( I live in Delhi).There were numerous delays , and the quality of work done is also quite pathetic . And the proposed site has a lot of law and order problems . And Indian officials are quite confused what is gong on .

I pray to god that this should not be a disaster

And yes as pointed out earlier this will generate them a lot of money

Fixed that for ya, I'm seeing a tiny circuit possibly challenging Tsukuba in the way of shape and difficulty or do mine eyes deceive me?

[pjobmathew]

[Ciro Pabón]

Well, most tracks are around 5.2 km in length.
