After seeing that I have no doubt whatsoever that the race will take place. They are in a much better shape than Korea was 10 days before the gp.

Awesome, absolutely astonishing – it's like night and day! It looked really bad two weeks ago, but they made it. Great work. I take back all my doubting and kudos to all the Indian workers around there. =D>

Track itself should be ready. but from the picture we cant really tell if the utilities and sanitary facilities will be ready to welcome with >100K spectators by next week.

PS. notice those photos are copyrighted to "Master of Disguise" I wonder what that mean? :)

Why are we doubting the organizers if charlie himself and other FIA reps have been monitoring the project so closely?

track is all clear to race. the dust could be an issue for the cars, just like in Bahrain.

@raymondu999,

The race is going ahead -track wise- no question about that. I hope there aren't any other mishaps.

@CHT,

Wow. That definitely sounds like a V10. Is that a toro rosso ?


BTW, I completed my first laps in rfactor, and my initial impression is positive. The twisty bits aren't boring at all, and the final sector is very fun to drive. I think the drivers will love it. I'll post a replay of my laps if I can get the hang of it. Having said that, I just can't see how Red Bull are gonna be beaten here lol. 2nd half of the track is RB 7 territory all the way. Vettel win bar mishaps. You heard it here first :lol:

Because the traditional FIA "transparency" :) They just don't bother to inform people regularly about their decision-making process, or you ( like in EBD case ) just can't trust what they say. That's enough for me.

Wish the organizers had planted trees when they started grading the land, would have looked lot better than just grass.

Chill out dude, I was merely attributing the "@" to your forum quote in my first message, and my second post was definitely trollin' lol :lol:

India's ace Formula One driver Narain Karthikeyan has rated the newly laid Buddh International Circuit as among the Top 5 in the World after doing a couple of laps on a Mercedes safety car.

Penny for your thoughts... :mrgreen:
