I think our design is Modern, no bit Indian, no bit western. There are many buildings in india with indian touch. why do the same things yet again?

The design is simplistic, practical and lacks any show offs.

A quick google search of western architecture will explain that our design is by no means western. Its a big confusion that people have with modern and western.

Gateway of India and India Gate are examples of western architecture.

v good pricing..its a similar price for me to fly to india & watch the f 1 there than it is to go to silverstone for the british GP.
good idea pf theres tp kep the general entry cheap , but charge alot for the stands

That's what the organizers are hoping for. People have been debating 5k is affordable or 2k is affordable. We miss out one point that for F1 fans the ticket price is not all that they have to spend
its like a tour, you have to take care of travel stay and site seeing also. Drop in ticket price can push the fans to haul extra air mile from turkey/bahrain/abu dhabi to new delhi. People have pre-allocated budget for attending a few races each year. The ticketing strategy will work good to draw people to india by dropping boring events like bahrain / abu dhabi and that too being in their budget range.

Has the construction started??? Has anyone got a circuit design for the track??

Are you for real?

Has the construction started??? Has anyone got a circuit design for the track??

yes..and its almost done..race scheduled for october,2011...:banana:

F1 Track in Goa can result in the best beach F1 Rocks events

Rather early to be jumping the gun, but there is a whisper that Goa is selected to be the second Indian city to have a F1 track of its own. Goa, the city that draws tourists like crazy is looking forward to this, and plans on a state of the art track on the lines of Monaco. If this works out, Goa will add another punch to its tourism industry that will see a new group of sports crazy tourists show interest.

F1india.org reports that Mr. Swapnil Naik, Director of Goa Tourism mentioned to TOI about this venture and said that they were working on the idea which is in it’s the initial stages. A site is being sourced and the government is keen that a coastal site would be ideal as it was Goa was all about - Sun, Sea and excitement. The government of Goa has a lot of properties in their possession and Naik stated that any one of these would be allotted for the purpose which would see even more tourists flocking to Goa.

Keeping in mind multiple beaches, sand, and sun, having a F1 track in Goa will certainly be a great idea. Goa already attracts tourists, and now there can be international events courtesy F1 Rocks. Metallica is performing at the Delhi F1 track on 28th October, 2011, so, if F1 Rocks materializes in Goa, it’ll be an endless row of international performances which is high profitable for Goa tourism.

Moto GP may soon follow Formula One into India

ESTORIL: Close on the heels of Formula One making its debut in India this October, another motorsport biggie is eyeing for a pit-stop in New Delhi.

Moto GP (world motorbike championship) organizers are keenly watching the events unfold in Delhi and with an Indian team, Mahindra Racing, having already made its debut in the 125cc category, bike enthusiasts in the country could have a lot to cheer for in the near future.

"We definitely want to come to India," declared Manuel Arroyo, managing director of Dorna Sports, who are the event mangers of Moto GP. "We are in the first stage of talks and if India, which is hosting the F1 race in October, manages to fulfill the conditions (for staging a Moto GP), then a Moto GP in Delhi is not far off," he told TOI on Sunday.

The 51-year-old Spaniard is unperturbed that the sport has not much of a following in India. He is banking on the increasing number of bike users in the country and the entry of Mahindra Racing for the event to take root. "The Indian team's presence will go a big way in getting the knowledge of the sport to India," he added. "The objective is to make it a worldwide event."

Currently, 18 races are held annually in 13 countries. A new destination in Texas will be added to the calendar in 2013 while new venues in Abu Dhabi, Brazil and Argentina are also on the anvil. "We may increase it to 19 races but the plan to seal it at 18," he says.

117 cameras for a single race!

While admitting that the Moto GP is some miles away from becoming a worldwide sporting phenomenon, he was quick to point out the reach of the event. The Dorna boss claims that it reached 233 million homes in 207 countries last year.

A spectacle made possible by his team's production unit which has admirably kept pace with technology. As many as 117 cameras, many of them hi-definition, track every move during a race.

Interestingly, every rider in the Moto GP race has three cameras fixed on the bike (which in effect means 78 on-board cameras). There are as many as 20 stationed at strategic points on the race track while two track the pits and one is placed in a helicopter that hovers above.

"We have to ensure that it is in the best interests of the riders, the teams, the fans, the viewers, everybody," says Arroyo.

ok.
so how are the commentators supossed to pronounce the circuit name.
budh as in good
budh as in loop
or
budh as in bud.
or am i realy dim and it is infact budha?.
btw that goa storey is such bollox. its up to berni where the tracks are not idiot CM of wherever....
but hopefully the Madmras M C will get some international meets(not necessarily FIA stuff eg ;asian GT )or some new inputs if m s interest is generated around the country,as it is actually the home of indian M S .
and such deserves credit for that

true. but by modern do you mean western? we will have tons of them, in fact we are building right now. but when world sees india we get opportunity to showcase our unique style in subtle way.
We dont have to build rock domes for our stadia in old fashion way ,we can have a little hint of our heritage using modern technology. a lot of asian countries have incorporated modern technology to build heritage structures.

I give you example of mumbai airport, it is truly modern, looks western but still has our touch to it. makes it look unique.

at this point i guess anything we get is good for us.

I think you're confusing yourself between western and modern architecture. Modern architecture is widely used in the western world and eastern world, when implementing major projects these days. I will give you few examples of what I mean...

New Mumbai airport is not western architecture, its modern architecture.
CST is western architecture.
All the govt buildings in Washington DC are Greek/Roman/Western architecture.
Delhi airport is modern architecture.
Terminal 5 of Heathrow is modern architecture.

Just because western world started modernizing everything lot earlier than India/China, doesn't necessarily mean western = modern.

Modern design is used by everyone in the world, not western.

So, yes, Budh Circuit is modern, and not western.
Hope that clears things up.

Dates are out! Metallica India gig on Oct 28, 30 (http://ibnlive.in.com/news/dates-are-out-metallica-india-gig-on-oct-28-30/151021-45-75.html)

The band celebrates the first Grand Prix race ever held in India with a performance in Delhi on October 28, 2011 at F1 Rocks, Leisure Valley, Gurgaon. They will also perform in the Bangalore Palace Ground on October 30 as part of the Sonisphere Festival.

Great news that Metallica have finally confirmed their arrival in India and even better for Gurgaon . I always thought that it was the best place to hold concerts without having to deal with piggish Dilli babooze asking for VIP seats and red tapism unlimited. Especially given how the A-kon concert was such a hit.

Hopefully it'll be a great start to a great weekend of F1 !!!

Indian touches to the circuit and design can be added later with sculptures, art and with other structures around the complex.

Buddh?! http://img573.imageshack.us/img573/8700/facepalmg.gif

Sounds pretty contrived for a race track. Oh, well..

Indian touches to the circuit and design can be added later with sculptures, art and with other structures around the complex.

for example delhi airport...it looked so contemporary but later on it was indianised.

Work on Formula One track put in top gear

http://www.indianexpress.com/news/Work-on-Formula-One-track-put-in-top-gear/788297/


Ongoing agitation by farmers in Bhatta-Parsaul village of Greater Noida has put up a fresh challenge before the Jaypee Group, which is working day and night to ensure completion of Formula One race track in Greater Noida within the next two months before final inspection by the Federation Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA) experts in July-end.

Paris-based FIA is the governing body for holding Formula One championships across the world.

The 5.14-km-long track along Yamuna Expressway, with a sitting capacity for about 1.2 lakh persons, is set to host first Indian Grand Prix in October 2011.

The track falls in Dhankaur area of Greater Noida, which is about 9 km from the Bhatta-Parsaul village. Thus, while the work on Yamuna Expressway has slowed down after the agitation, authorities have shifted their focus on the construction of the track and are working day and night with a large labour force to ensure there are no hindrances in its completion.

Also, the state government has beefed up security for the under-construction race track after Saturday’s agitation at Bhatta-Parsaul and in the wake of warning by Manvir Singh Teotia that farmers would march towards the under-construction track to mark their protest against low compensation rate provided to them at various locations under Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority.

Apart from the police, even private security guards have been hired by the group. Sources in the company say around 6,000 workers and over 250 engineers are working round-the-clock to ensure early completion of the Rs 1700-crore project. :banana:

“About 80 per cent of the black asphalt layer has been laid on 5.14-km-long track. We are targeting to complete the track before July-end,” said a senior official of the group :cheers:

^^ Lets hope they complete before inspection :cheers:

Work on Formula One track put in top gear

http://www.indianexpress.com/news/Work-on-Formula-One-track-put-in-top-gear/788297/

What's wrong with these farmers? If they want meaningful protests, let them go and destroy Mayawati's statues. That will definitely get her attention and will be a great service to the nation.

^^ Perfect.....However, if Mayawati gets 100 rs from CG ...she openly eats 50 of that and sincerely put other 50rs to work for common man.....Which is better than others.....

Thats the only good thing about her.....rest she's evil...

Just see Noida...its changing faster and better than any of the city in INDIA......trust me....

We trust u . Now get to work

@Master of Disguise

Waiting for ur pictorial updates...

http://www.hindustantimes.com/Multiple-roadblocks-for-F1-track-officials/Article1-696770.aspx

The fine dust blows everywhere, adding to the misery of the summer heat as work at the Buddh International Formula One track, where India's inaugural grand prix will be held in October, goes on in full swing. A bunch of policemen guard the main entrance of the sprawling facility, taking shade under the half-finished Taj expressway that runs close to the main entrance of F1 track. There is no sign of the farmers' agitation that has kept the administration on tenterhooks not very far away in Greater Noida.

However, the F1 track bosses may still be in for a rude jolt. The farmers at the nearby villages are upset that their religious sentiments are not being respected, warning that it could blow into a major controversy in the near future.

Barely 150 metres from the track stands a decades old peer baba temple, which has become the bone of contention, as the villagers fear their popular place of worship could be demolished.

The villagers are already upset because the short route from Gunpura and Atta villages to the bigger Dhankaur village on the other side has been cut off because of the track. They are not assured the path to the temple will be left untouched, and feel a complete cut off is inevitable.

Temple issue

Head priest Balak Das expressed concern saying the temple land was originally huge but had now shrunk to just 30 square yards due to encroachment. Mistrust, says Das, has forced the people of the region to approach court.

"When all our pleas fell on deaf ears, we had no option but to seek court intervention," says Ekta Nagar, pradhan of Gunpura and Atta villages, from where large tracts of land have been purchased for the F1 circuit. A former pradhan of Dhankaur Ramesh Nagar said villagers had held demonstrations in the past after the path to the temple was briefly cut off.

There is simmering discontent, and if smooth passage from Gunpura village to the temple is not allowed, says Balak Das, the locals could revolt. The head priest cannot read or write, but carries a local court order in his waist pouch.

“Hundreds of devotees throng the temple on Sundays. Hurting the religious sentiments can turn things ugly. It should be sorted out amicably,” says Sunder Singh, a resident of Gunpura village.

The other sticking point is opposition to the shifting of the Gunpura village cremation ground — a few hundred metres from the temple — situated on land that has been acquired. A dumping ground for animal carcasses is also within the land acquired for the race circuit.

The villagers have filed a public-interest litigation in the Allahabad High Court that will come up for hearing on May 18.

However, the F1 circuit boss said the issues would be smoothly resolved.

“It is a samadhi, not a temple and we fully empathise with the local people,” Sameer Gaur, MD and CEO, Jaypee Sport International Ltd (JPSL), told HT.

“We are talking to the people concerned and are confident a solution would be found," he said. "Whatever we decide, we will make sure it does not hurt any feelings."

^^ Friends, apart from Politicians role in dharna's(which can't be ruled out), lets not forget the farmers contribution to the whole world @ large....

When i went to that book outlet in mall, they said they said they are selling the book @ MRP only....

What it means

for seller

Internet ppl : sell book @ discount and free home delivery and make profit
For Shop in mall : Sell book @ MRP - make profit(i say extra profit as its sold @ MRP)

for buyer

From Internet : no traveling cost and discounted rate - so more savings
From Shop @ mall : Travelling cost + discount lost - so more expenses.

What you say has some truth to it but we need to consider with rising education, people are increasingly not willing to work on farms. Migration to cities, rising education levels in rural areas, rising aspiration levels, breaking up of joint families even in villages are all trends we have to contend with. Big projects like the Formula 1 Track generate tremendous employment. Given that the younger generation even in villages wants white collar employment and the increasing demand for quality sports infrastructure projects like these are needed. With more and more of India's middle and upper middle class going in for sports competitively, we need quality sports infrastructure all over India to meet this demand. How do we integrate farmers into the modern economy and make them benefit from 8 % growth is the question facing us today.

Its very simple....... Ppl from villages are migrating to cities due to seasonal unemployment and per capita income in agri is low...

So if we create employment in villages i.e which converts such raw to finished goods, agarbatti manufacturing etc during such period's of unemployment...

The payment may not be on par with those in cities, but should be nearer...

Frankly speaking I as an individual is losing interest in sports like F1.. The reason, one in pole position & 2nd to 4th in qualifying is turning out to be winner or one who takes initial lead.... Vettel is gonna be Champion this time too...

So for the sake and profit of rich classes of ppl, why should we sacrifice thousands of ppl's food and happiness??

Imagine Life without all these so called advancements, it will be more peaceful and calm one.... No tension, nothing......

I can not even imagine. I am happy that these "so called advancements" have taken place. Nothing personal against you but I have found that most of those who make such statements denouncing modernity are hypocrits and trying to be differnt from other and put themselves on a moral high ground made out of their own fallacy.


But I think you are passionate about your own belief. But there is hope, there are many villages still left in many parts of our country where you can live this ideal life.

i ask again .how is the name infact pronounced?

i ask again .how is the name infact pronounced?

you can call it Buddha IC.

Any recents pics??

I mean villages without mobile connectivity.

Rumours (http://www.thef1times.com/news/display/03350) of delaying Indian GP to accommodate Bahrain floating around.

^^ Usually we dont need foreign interference to delay our projects :(

Thats ok.. As long as it takes place this season, its fine.. And this delay would give some time for them to complete it too!

Iam actually bit relaxed after hearing about those possible delays... They will have ample time to finish it in grand style!

cheers

Any recent photos????

as a buddhist meditator i find it very odd to call a motor race circuit the buddha track.
very very odd.
cant think of many things that are so opposed as mediating and motor sport....
can u imagine brazil renaming interlagos the 'jesus' track?
or UK naming silverstone the'arch bishop ' track .
i dunno its too weired.
wouldnt have 'asoka' I C done the job better?
man , india its such a quirky place

Humnn....its not because of the reason you stated....That track falls in a area known as gautam budh nager...and whole of Noida ...you'll find statues of budha n all....

I love the name....

This is so retarded.. Read alil before showing your gawarpana

NOIDA is called GB nagar. So stuff is named after Gautam buddh!!

The ground reality for naming it Budh International Circuit is to save the track from potential taxes levied by state govt. To understand this one has to know the local politics. For an outsider, i don't see any reason to crib about the name.

For instance, I have never thought of finding silver pebbles on silverstone track. Locals may know why it is called silverstone, but for me its just a name and I have never thought of putting a logic to that.

NOIDA's full form is New Okhla Industrial Development Authority....and Its original name stands at Gautam Budh Nagar...

Humnn....its not because of the reason you stated....That track falls in a area known as gautam budh nager...and whole of Noida ...you'll find statues of budha n all....

+1. Noida, Greater Noida and Yamuna Expressway City are constituents of Gautam Budh Nagar district of UP.

There is a village near the track... I cant recollect the name though...

U need to corss the express way from F1 track to reach this place... I was there in jan 2011 ..... A kinda scary village ..

is it the one where the pedophiles and necrophiliacs were caught?

ok cool. thats a good reason to call it that then.
sorry i didnt know and thanks for the new prefix i have as a retard.
i guess that makes you a fucking tosser then .:cheers:

Ja, there is no country for old men

The acronym NOIDA in the context of the city stands for New Okhla Industrial Development AREA. http://www.noidaauthorityonline.com/faq.html

Noida was originally agricultural land with a cluster of villages such as Atta, Naya Bans, Nithari, Harola, Chalera etc (these still exist in their full squalor).

Gautam Buddh Nagar is a new district carved out from Ghaziabad, one among many such as Jyotiba Phulay Nagar, Chhatrapati Shahuji Maharaj Nagar etc, created by the Mayawati government to honour Dalit icons and the religion of Buddhism adopted by many Dalits.

Since Jaypee is a crony of the U.P. government they would have been under pressure to choose a name from a Dalit icon for the race track, they took the middle path and chose Buddh. Although I agree that perhaps Ashok would have be cooler, alas, for augean politics.

Areas of Bulandshahr district were also annexed for Gautam Budh Nagar district.

Ja, there is no country for old men

:):cheers::):cheers::):cheers:

v funny


BTW why didnt all you motorsport fans pick up on the little bit of provocative humour in my post?
Call me a retard but none of you got it.
the worlds best ever racing driver, no not shoomaker
Manuel Fangio? Jim Clarke?
No Ayrton Senna .
He said that race driving for him was spiritual 'like being at one with god'
thats a quote.
so basically it was a meditation for him, a transendent experience.
Me? im just a novice, still got to sit on me cushion or walk to meditate.
And deffinatly not when im driving.
Check out the movie 'senna'(aint seen it so dunno if the quotes in there.....)
its won awards and is just out( inUK)
:)

Any recent pic or webcams???

Now whats this?

Indian GP May Be Postponed

As excitement for the Indian GP rises with every passing day, more hindrances arise for the organizers to take care of. Bernie Ecclestone said in a statement that the date of the Indian GP may be postpone

As much as fans would like to see the Indian Grand Prix in October there is high likelihood of it being postponed from its prescribed date to December 4. The change of date has not been officially announced yet but the reasons for the change of date are several, and complicated.



Firstly, due to the probability of the Bahrain Grand Prix a place in the busy calendar has to be made for the circuit, in which case the Indian GP will have to be rescheduled to a future date. Originally scheduled to be the season opener in March, the event was adjourned due to political unrest, the verdict of weather the Bahrain GP will happen this year is scheduled for the 3rd of June, and this decision will partly bring judgment for the Indian GP as well. Authorities of the Bahrain circuit have to report to the FIA regarding the state of play in the kingdom.


Now you might come to wonder why this decision will just partly affect the delay of the race on the Buddh International Circuit. There is some form of unrest in Noida, New Delhi where the circuit has been built with respect to a clash between the Government officials and the farmers over land problems. Local farmers are accusing the Government of forcefully grabbing their land at a lower price to give the edge to the private construction companies.



If you think these are the end of the problems for the first Indian GP, think again? With the construction of the circuit is nearing completion, the homologation set for sometime next month, any form of major unrest that may cause damage to the circuit may hurt the homologation progress of the GP.



As on date, all Indian fans can do is wait for 3rd June for the verdict of the Bahrain GP date to figure out if the Indian GP will be delayed or not.

Nope....this wont be postponed I went to see the site yesterday...works going on well..they have started with the landscaping on massive scale.....Guys just excuse me....as I don't have my camera yet.....

^^ How can you tell it won't be postponed by visiting the track when the reason of postponing lies in Bahrain !!

Nowhere it is written that the race will be postponed because of delay in completion.

It also mentions unstable situation in Noida ..GreNo..and the 2nd last para bhai

It doesn't say work has been disrupted by the villagers. It says, it "may" get disrupted in future. Or they may even not disrupt the work but create some trouble at the day of race itself ! That would be worse actually.

Bernie has suggested that Indian GP may be postponed or even canceled

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/formula_one/13608826.stm

Ecclestone is considering moving the Indian GP back to 11 December - or cancelling it - in order to accommodate the return of the Bahrain race to the calendar.

This leads to speculation that the track might not be ready in time, which I don't agree with. This may also be a tactics to put pressure on Indian organizers.

But it has been a long time we have seen any photographic update.

It's very unlikely that the Bahrain GP will get a second chance this year. But even if that happens, there's no way [greedy] Bernie would cancel the Indian GP, unless the Indian organizers want it, which is again highly unlikely. The decision will be taken on June 3rd. So let's wait for 2 more days and see what happens.

Oh and the Arabian races (Bahrain and Abu Dhabi) are boring as hell!

So is the track ready or not? Why would they considering moving it back to December? I guess this is typical of how India think they can drag their feet on every project, and yet call themselves a superpower.

The fun begins....

Organisers of the inaugural Indian Grand Prix have said that they will be happy if the inaugural Indian Grand Prix is shifted to mid December as the grand finale of the 2011 Formula 1 season.

This will be done in order to accommodate for the Bahrain Grand Prix which would replace the Indian Grand Prix’s original position of October 30, 2011.

It is believed that the final decision regarding this would be made by the World Motor Sport Council this Friday, June 3, 2011.

Formula 1 Management’s CEO Bernie Ecclestone stated that if the Bahrain Grand Prix is to take place this year, then it would surely take the Indian Grand Prix’s spot. The organisers of the Indian race are fine with the changes.

“Whether the race is held on October 30 or on some other date, it's alright with us,” Jaypee Sports International spokesperson Sameer Kumar told the media before stating that JPSI is aware of the current situation.

However, Mercedes GP’s principal Ross Brawn has recently stated that extending the Formula 1 calendar like this would make it extremely hectic for all of the teams and it is totally unacceptable.

As a result, it was believed that the teams might boycott if this decision takes place but Martin Whitmarsh, the principal of McLaren stated that the teams would have no choice and they would have to take part in the race in the end.

Nevertheless, Kumar also believes that the teams would have to take part in the grand finale regardless of what the organisers of Formula 1 decide.

“I feel this would be offset by the fact that this is the first race in India and that people would still come in huge numbers to have this unique experience. In fact, the Indian GP would be an important addition to the whole India experience for foreign tourists as well,” he said.

Either way, keeping the Indian Grand Prix as the grand finale of the season might become a bit tricky for the organisers of the sport as well as it is going to be the inaugural race of the venue.

No offense meant to IR considering he has always produced best pictorial updates so far, I think it might be a case that the organizers are not allowing anyone to leak any updates. As he is involved in the project to some extent he might even have got some kind of formal letter to maintain embargo. Otherwise he would have taken pics from cellphone or something.

To me, it appears like IR is bound by jaypee guidelines.

I think IR doesn't have his camera back yet from his bro!! He has already told so.. When it comes, he will definitely post it..

Bahrain set to learn Grand Prix decision..
Source: BBC 03-06-2011
(See the highlighted part)


The fate of the Bahrain Grand Prix will be decided at a meeting of Formula 1's governing body on Friday.

The Gulf kingdom was due to host the opening race of the 2011 season until it was called off amid civil unrest.

Bahrain Grand Prix organisers have asked Formula 1's governing body to reschedule rather than cancel the race.

However, driver Mark Webber has voiced opposition, writing on Twitter: "When people in a country are being hurt, the issues are bigger than sport."

The Red Bull star, third in the driver standings, continued: "Let's hope the right decision is made."

Former world champion Damon Hill has also said that the race should not go ahead, although the president of the British Racing Drivers' Club stated that he was not speaking in an official capacity.

"This crisis is an opportunity for Formula 1 to show it cares about all people and their human rights," said Hill.

"True peace has nothing to do with creating calm through the use of violent repression.

"Bahrain has restored order but the methods have been questioned by many reliable journalists and human rights organisations.

"If Formula 1 agrees to race in Bahrain it will forever have the blight of association with repressive methods to achieve order.

"True peace can only be achieved peacefully. The right thing to do, in my view, is to not race in Bahrain until these doubts have been removed."

Organisers insist they are ready to host the event, with Bahrain International Circuit chairman Zayed Rashid Alzayani stating: "We feel we are in position to have the event back."

Alzayani said he was hopeful it will be held in October or November to coincide with the Abu Dhabi GP on 13 November.

Bahrain has lifted the state of emergency imposed in March to quell pro-democracy demonstrations after more than 20 people were killed during the government's campaign to stifle the demonstrations.

Security measures remain in place to stop large gatherings, with reports suggesting that police continued to patrol the streets of Manama and surrounding villages.

If Bahrain is restored to the 2011 calendar, it has been suggested it could become the penultimate race of the season.

F1 supremo Bernie Ecclestone is believed to be considering 20 November, the week after the Abu Dhabi GP, which could mean the season-ending race in Brazil, scheduled for 27 November, is moved back by a week.

Ecclestone is considering moving the Indian GP back to 11 December - or cancelling it - in order to accommodate the return of the Bahrain race to the calendar.

Bahrain's race had been scheduled for 13 March but was called off in February because of anti-government protests.

Bahrain's Crown Prince made the decision to cancel the race, with Ecclestone commenting at the time that it was the right choice.

"Things have calmed down tremendously in Bahrain. Life is back to normal. We are happy to have the race anytime really," added Alzayani.

"We went through a rough patch and we need nice moments in our history now for the nation.

"Formula 1 has always been a time where Bahrain showcases itself to the world not only as a sports arena but as society, a community that Bahrain as a nation has to offer. Formula 1 can bring back joy to the country."

The decision on whether the race goes ahead, and when, will be made during Friday's World Motor Sport Council meeting in Barcelona.

^^ Don't beleive what the Beebs says about anything related to India. There has never been a plan to cancel the Indian GP. The official decision is to conduct the Bahrain race in October and the Indian GP on December 11. The only problem being the last race is the risk of the World Champion being decided in an earlier race.

It's Official! Indian GP has been postponed

Bahrain F1 grand prix gets go-ahead despite widespread opposition

http://www.guardian.co.uk/sport/2011/jun/03/bahrain-government-official-grand-prix


The Bahrain Grand Prix has been rescheduled for 30 October — news that will cause widespread dismay among all 12 Formula One teams and civil rights activists. Over 320,000 people had signed an online petition calling for the race to be scrapped before the start of today's FIA meeting. The principals of the sport's teams, who met the commercial rights holder, Bernie Ecclestone, in Monaco last weekend, also wanted the race to be abandoned.

Zayed R Alzayani, chairman of the Bahrain International Circuit, who confirmed the race would go ahead, said: "This is welcome news for all of Bahrain. As a country we have faced a difficult time, but stability has returned, with businesses operating close to normal, the state of national safety lifted and countries removing travel restrictions."

To accommodate Bahrain, the Indian Grand Prix will be pushed back from 30 October to early December – which will mean the Formula One season having its latest finish since 1963. The final race was due to take place in Brazil on 27 November.

In a statement, the FIA said that a "fact-finding" mission had been conducted in conjunction with the ministry of interior, the ministry of culture and tourism, the Bahrain Motor Federation and Bahrain International Circuit. Tariq Al Saffar, representing the National Institute of Human Rights, was also present.

The FIA statement read: "After considering all the factors and taking into consideration all stakeholders' concerns, the World Motor Sport Council unanimously agreed to reinstate the Bahrain Grand Prix in the 2011 FIA Formula One World Championship. This decision reflects the spirit of reconciliation in Bahrain, which is evident from the strong support the race receives from the government and all major parties in Bahrain, including the largest opposition group, all of whom endorse the Formula One Grand Prix and motor sport in the country.

"The WMSC feels that reinstating the grand prix is a means of helping to unite people as the country looks to move forward. It also recognises the commitment made by the Formula One teams, their employees and families, and personnel associated with the championship, including the local team of volunteers who are so vital to the event.

"The Bahrain Grand Prix will take place on 30 October, replacing the Indian Grand Prix, which will now become the final round of the 2011 championship, combined with the FIA annual general assembly and prize-giving gala."

The latter two events were scheduled to take place on 4 December.

The Formula One Teams' Association – which represents 11 of the marques, with Hispania Racing the exception – is to look into the FIA decision.

A McLaren spokesperson said: "All Fota teams, of which McLaren is one, acknowledge the decision made by the FIA World Motor Sport Council today. That decision is likely to be discussed internally within Fota, and a more detailed joint position may be defined after those discussions have taken place."

The FIA decision, which was made while shootings were being reported in Bahrain, has enraged civil rights activists. Alex Wilks, the Avaaz campaign director whose online poll to ban the race was backed by hundreds of thousands of people as well as the former world champion Damon Hill, said: "Formula One's decision is a kick in the teeth for the Bahraini people. The race will happen in a country where government troops continue to shoot and arrest peaceful protesters. Money has trumped human rights and good judgment, so now F1, plus Red Bull, McLaren, Ferrari and every other team will be directly linked with a bloody crackdown that's ruined the lives of hundreds of innocent people."

Speaking on behalf of the Bahraini Centre for Human Rights, Maryam al Khawaja said: "There will be increased repression of human rights if the grand prix is held. To go ahead pretending it's business as usual is very bad when people continue to be detained and tortured. If the decision goes through we will return to Pearl Square and the groups have called for a Day of Rage."

Even as the decision was being taken there were more reports of shootings in Bahrain. According to eyewitness reports, Bahraini police fired teargas and rubber bullets at protesters marching towards the landmark Pearl Square in the country's capital. More than 30 people have been killed since protesters, fighting for more human rights and freedoms, took to the streets in February.

"Instead of rights, every family got a political prisoner. Did the government expect people to stay at home?" said Nabeel Rajab, a leading activist and the Bahrain Centre for Human Rights' president. "After almost three months of military rule, the crisis is deeper because every family has suffered when the army was sent to solve a political problem."

The Bahrain government's decision to lift the state of emergency a couple of days before today's FIA meeting reeked of cynicism. But they had paid £40m for the privilege of staging the first race of the season — and despite Ecclestone's protestations that the decision would not be all about money that is actually the case.

When the Bahrain Grand Prix does take place it will hardly be a sporting occasion. With troops and security forces in operation, and tanks rumbling in the background, this will not be Formula One as anyone has known it before.

The teams will have to go because they are contracted to do so. But today, perhaps, they will be asking why they did not protest just a little bit more before the meeting, instead of just grumbling – mostly in private – about the logistical problems of moving their cars and their manpower.



INDIAN GP POSTPONED. BAHRAIN TO HOST F1 ON OCTOBER 30, 2011

http://www.indiancarsbikes.in/motorsports/indian-gp-postponed-bahrain-host-f1-october-30-2011-43007/


The World Motor Sports Council (WMSC) has finally decided the fate of this years Bahrain Formula 1 grand prix. The council members today met at Barcelona and gave the green light for Bahrain to host the race on 30th of October, 2011. This means the inaugural Indian grand prix now stands postponed however, the final date has yet to be declared.

The FIA has decided to hold the Bahrain round in place of India while the very first race on the brand new Buddh International Racing circuit in India will host Formula 1 one could be held at the end of the season. Most of our readers will be disappointed but, hey, imagine if this years championship goes down to the wire like the 2010 championship which was decided during the final grand prix of the season at Abu Dhabi.

The reinstatement of Bahrain comes after a massive support voiced by the Government for the F1 to take place in country. Opposition groups in the region also support the race and think the sport could bridge gaps between its people and unite them over a weekend dedicated for speed and precision. With India hosting the closing race of the season, FIA’s Annual General Assembly and Prize-Giving Gala will also be held in the country.

The Bahrain International Circuit (BIC) welcomed the decision of the WMSC. Zayed R. Alzayani, chairman of the BIC said that his country has had been going through a difficult time but the now situation has calmed down. Businesses have opened and the the State of National Safety lifted. It has been a wise decision considering the stake holders, fans and the economic boost the event generates for the nations economy.


The Indian GP date is yet to be decided.

INDIAN ll b season finale according to NDTV.

shame india is at the end.As its likely the championship will alreayt be decided.
And teams will not be running at ten tenths
personally i think countries in the midst of civil repression should be postponed.
but motor sport is an extremely politicaly apathetic sport , only concerned with its own safety.

Indian Grand Prix will now be a season-ending affair

CHENNAI: Indian motorsport fans will have to wait till December to see the Formula One cars roar in Greater Noida after the FIA rescheduled the inaugural Indian GP on Friday.

The race will now be the 2011 season finale with the international motorsport federation (FIA) deciding to bring back the postponed Bahrain GP into the calendar by slotting it for October 30, the original date for the event in India.

The race will now be held at the Buddh International Circuit, most likely on December 11, said Vicky Chandhok, president of Federation of Motor Sports Clubs of India (FMSCI), the national governing body. "FIA has not yet confirmed the final date for the race but the most likely date is December 11," he added.

Hail IR!
Even though a lot of work needs to be done, if you say so, I believe it would be done :P

Good Bahrain made us shift to December!

Great update IR. I think they can complete it by October in any case. But by shifting to December at least we can say that no CWG like incidents (dropping of false ceiling) will occur.
I think you can also post some of these pics on the Autosports' Indian GP thread (http://forums.autosport.com/index.php?showtopic=137981).

Thanks a lot dude. Very refreshing updates after a long time :)

India hopes for grand F1 finale
By Abhaya Srivastava (AFP) – 6:49 p.m. on Monday June 6, 2011.

The Indian race is set to be staged at a new $350 million circuit in Greater Noida on the outskirts of
New Delhi (AFP/Pool/File, Ho)

NEW DELHI — India's top drivers said on Monday they were upbeat about the country holding a spectacular inaugural Grand Prix to complete the 2011 Formula One season after the race was pushed back to December.

The sport's governing body, the FIA, unanimously voted last week to reschedule the Bahrain race, which was cancelled in March due to civil unrest in the Gulf state.

The Bahrain GP will now be held on October 30, the original slot for the Indian GP which will now be the season-closing finale on December 11.

The Indian race is set to be staged at a new $350 million 5.14-kilometre (3.2-mile) circuit designed by renowned German architect Hermann Tilke in Greater Noida on the outskirts of New Delhi.

Karun Chandhok, a Team Lotus reserve driver, said the decision to postpone India's race provided an opportunity to put together a show worthy of a season climax.

"On one hand it is tough for the people in the teams as this extends the championship and gives them very little time before the next season," he said in a statement.

"But on the other hand it will be an honour for our entire nation to host the season finale in the inaugural year of the Indian GP."

Chandhok is hopeful of getting a one-off race seat ahead of regulars Jarno Trulli or Heikki Kovalainen after being limited to practice duties this season.

Hispania Racing Team driver Narain Karthikeyan, from Chennai, said the cool weather conditions in December could have a bearing on the race.

"The one concern is the morning fog. That could make things a little more testing," said Karthikeyan, 34. "But to host the season finale is very prestigious."

Karthikeyan, making a comeback to the F1 circuit after six years, is looking forward to driving before home fans although Hispania are struggling at the bottom of the table.

The under-construction circuit is part of an ambitious 1,000-hectare (2,500-acre) sports complex being built by the Jaypee group, a fast-rising business conglomerate run by the Gaur family.

The race will be followed by the FIA General Assembly and the prize-giving gala.

Vicky Chandhok, president of the Federation of Motor Sports Clubs of India (FMSCI), said it would be challenge to rework planning for the event.

"By rescheduling the race, we now have to address logistical issues such as hotel re-booking and flight tickets. But we are ready to put up a great show," he said.

"It's an opportunity to prove what India's capable of."

^^ MoD...is there any other stand (other then the grand stand) being constructed leaving aside the grass embankment?

The Grand Stand will only hold 20~25,000 of the 150,000 seating capacity race track.

Great pics bhai, is bar KLPD nahi kiya.

He didn't experience this just now. He did it 18 months before (Dec 2009) with IU and me. At that time IR's car was probably the first car to run on the track (even though it was strip of dirt at that time).

^^ Thats what i thought too for a second.

Thanks a ton IR. Khush kar ditta oye. this is the best update this thread has seen since it started.
appreciate your hard work and personal interest.

BTW it looks like they are racing against time to meet the deadline. they have started working on multiple fronts simultaneously. they have put on glasses even before scaffolding and dirt is removed. also they are working on landscaping and other things.
but still it looks like it is a bit too slow. i hope it wont affect the quality of work.

^^ Thats what i thought too for a second.


Seems like an illusion. Hope it wasn't you this time ;)

Seems really world class... looks like a very good track being worked out there.... I am sure it will be a spectacular event. :banana:

Many thanks to thousands of workers working out there :applause:

Guys, we have some reasons to worry now... If this is the case, then probably Bahrain GP will stand cancelled and India may have to conduct the race in october itself.....

Ecclestone wants new vote on Bahrain Grand Prix

Formula One supremo Bernie Ecclestone has called for a rethink, and a fresh vote, on last week's controversial decision to hold the postponed Bahrain Grand Prix in October.

Max Mosley, former head of the governing International Automobile Federation (FIA) and a long-time Ecclestone ally, also weighed in on Tuesday by saying the calendar could not be changed without the agreement of all the teams and the race had no chance of going ahead.

Bahrain decision a costly mistake for F1: Mosley

The FIA announced on Friday that Bahrain, first scheduled as the season-opener in March but postponed due to civil unrest, would be held on October 30 in place of the Indian Grand Prix.

The inaugural New Delhi event was moved to a date yet to be agreed as the last race of the season in December.

Ecclestone told the Times newspaper that it would be better to move Bahrain to the end of the season, and suggested a fax vote could be organised at short notice to overturn the International Automobile Federation (FIA) decision.

"The way things are at the moment, we have no idea what is going to happen," Ecclestone said of the situation in Bahrain, where police continue to arrest Shi'ite protestors.

"Better that we move Bahrain to the end of the season and, if things are safe and well, then that is fine, we can go. If they are not, then we don't go and there are no problems."

Ecclestone took issue with the FIA, who declared Bahrain a safe destination after a fact-finding mission last week by their Spanish vice-president Carlos Gracia.

"We listened to that report from the FIA and that was saying there were no problems at all in Bahrain," said Ecclestone. "But that is not what I am hearing and I think we can see that we need to be careful."

The decision to race in Bahrain has triggered widespread opposition, with human rights campaigners outraged by the move after anti-government protests prompted a bloody crackdown in the Gulf kingdom.

Formula One teams are also against extending the championship into December, while fans who had booked non-refundable flights and holidays to India for that grand prix stand to lose money.

Ecclestone said money, with the Bahrainis paying an estimated $40 million (24.3 million pounds) to host the race this year, was not the issue.

"It is whether it is safe and good to have a race, that is the issue," said the 80-year-old. "We can change this by October 30 date by having a vote by fax if necessary. It can be done, and fast."

Mosley, who left office in 2009 but remains influential within the FIA, agreed.

"He (Ecclestone) is right. I don't think there is the slightest chance the grand prix will actually happen," he told BBC radio.

"Apart from anything else you cannot change the calendar, in the way that is proposed to change, without the unanimous agreement of the teams."

The FIA said in a statement on Friday that the decision had been unanimously 'agreed' by the world motor sport council meeting in Barcelona.

More on Formula One

Two team principals, Force India's Vijay Mallya and Ferrari's Stefano Domenicali, attended that meeting.

FIA president Jean Todt could not confirm that there had indeed been unanimous agreement, however.

"I couldn't say precisely," Tuesday's Daily Telegraph quoted him as saying. "Was it 25 hands? 27? I saw all the hands up and said, 'Ah, unanimous agreement'. I pronounced it. And nobody objected. No one said 'I abstained' or 'I voted no'."

Mosley, who fought regular battles with the teams over the years and knows the intricacies of the rulebook as well as anyone, said it would be up to them to decide.

^^then there could be one more option open for the F1 guys, i.e. open the 2012 season in India....coz in Dec, NCR experiences fog, so they could open the next season, but still lets hope +ively that things would take place in 2011...i mean F1 race!!

Nice man. Nice.

excellent update IR bhai.....

Bahrain GP cannot happen, says Bernie Ecclestonea

Source: BBC


Formula 1 boss Bernie Ecclestone has said October's reinstated Bahrain Grand Prix cannot go ahead.

The race was due to open the season in March but was called off because of civil unrest. Last week the FIA restored it to the calendar.

"Hopefully we can return in the future, but of course it's not on," Ecclestone told BBC Sport's Dan Roan.

"The schedule cannot be rescheduled without the agreement of the participants - they're the facts."

The teams wrote to the FIA on Tuesday expressing their objections to Bahrain being put back on the calendar.

The decision to reinstate Bahrain was taken at a meeting of the FIA World Council on Friday, where the vote was passed without any objections.

But it seems the FIA had overlooked article 66 of its own sporting code, which says that no amendments can be made to the arrangements for a championship after entries open without the agreement of all competitors.

A senior insider described this oversight as "extraordinary".

Click to play

Max Mosley condemned the decision to reschedule the Bahrain race

Technically speaking, the vote remains valid, and in theory the FIA should have another vote to cancel it.

In reality, though, because the FIA did not follow its own rules, the teams can simply ignore it, as the vote cannot take effect without their agreement.

That means that, because the teams have formally objected to the reinstatement to the Bahrain race, it cannot now take place this year, so the event will not happen, regardless of what actions the FIA now takes.

The Bahrain Grand Prix was called off in February because of pro-democracy protests in which more than 20 people died.

However, the FIA chose to reinstate the race after a report suggested that the country's situation has "stabilised". Bahrain was given India's slot on the 20-race calendar on 30 October with the inaugural race in India moved to a provisional date of 11 December.

The decision to reinstate Bahrain and to reorganise a 2011 season in which six races have already been completed led to reaction from former FIA chairman Max Mosley, Red Bull driver Mark Webber, the teams and third parties unconnected with the sport.

Avaaz, an international campaigning organisation, immediately issued a statement in which it contradicted the FIA's findings.

"Claims that calm has been restored and life is back to normal in Bahrain are completely untrue," said campaign director Alex Wilks. "In the last week the police have continued to use tear gas, rubber bullets and sound grenades to break up peaceful marches, killing and injuring dozens of people."

The teams wrote to the FIA, under the auspices of their umbrella group Fota, making it clear their opposition to the Bahrain race happening in 2011.
ANDREW BENSON ANALYSIS
Continue reading the main story

Bernie Ecclestone's remarks are simply a confirmation of what was already reality once the teams objected. The FIA made what appears to be a catastrophic oversight in ignoring its rule that says it needs the approval of the teams before changes to the calendar are made. They will now look to find a way to save face while formalising a situation that already exists - there will be no Bahrain race this year.
Read more on Andrew's blog

They say it is not practical to add the race at the end of a long season and asked for the Indian Grand Prix to be moved back to its original date.

BBC Sport understands that Fota - which represents all the F1 teams bar back-of-the-grid Hispania - expressed its objections to Bahrain being rescheduled on logistical grounds, its letter saying that the idea of adding a 20th race in December would be "unbearable to our staff".

"The reason the teams get quite upset about the December factor is that it's a massive commitment for the guys that go racing," McLaren technical director Paddy Lowe told BBC Sport. "And that is typically when they have their holidays."

And while the letter does not register any moral or ethical objections to the idea of a race in Bahrain, sources say the teams do have such concerns.

The teams, and the majority of F1's decision makers, head to Canada this weekend for the seventh race of the season where there is expected to be more discussion on the future of the Bahrain GP and the 2011 calendar.

Now that's a great news, but will everything be ready now, by Oct???

Yes, it will be ...bro

Chalo tab toh badhiya hai!!...ab bus CWG jaisa KLPD na ho jaye!!

Thats what I am hoping as well. CWG ka to tamasha ban ke reh gaya tha.

I hope there is no Gaandmasti this time unlike CWG!

I cannot see the photos? It says my bandwidth has been exceeded? How can I fix that?

we cannot see it either now. its not your but MOD's daily bandwidth that exceeded.
wait for a day so new quota of bandwidth arrives.
or ask him to upload it on different site. (not recommanded)
or register with photobucket, log in and go to MOD's channel and see all his pictures

So it's officially over for Bahrain.

Bahrain accepts cancellation of Grand Prix (http://in.reuters.com/article/2011/06/09/idINIndia-57615320110609)

Leaves me wondering, how the eff BBC got their "Indian GP might be cancelled" report :nuts:

@rajesh81: Update ur post on the other site and insert credits with link to IR's original post in ssc. Something like this -

All pics and updates originally appeared on Skyscrapercity.com (http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=708714&page=43), posted by Master of Disguise (http://www.skyscrapercity.com/member.php?u=667787)

The photographer and the forum, both must get credit. On that forum you are already collecting good work comments for somebody else's hard work. You have also copy pasted IR's mini report as if it was your own observation.



Regarding image server: Would it not be better if flickr or picasa is used?

@ Abhishek...bhai help me get back my pics yaar..

How???

How can pics appear again??? whats with this bandwidth issue yaar???

Don't know about that. You may re-upload them on imageshack if possible.

How can pics appear again??? whats with this bandwidth issue yaar???


It means your pics have been viewed / downloaded so many times that it exceeded the data limit allowed to each free member per month (per month is my guess :P). They want you to register for paid service for unrestricted service. Instead of that repost your pics to some free hosting server.

I think picasa and flickr are good. And people are also suggesting imageshack.

Point is you will have to re upload all those pics and even edit the previous posts in the thread where you have inserted the pics. Its seriously a lot of work, considering i got tired only browsing through all those pics :)

Nice pictures there. 4 months to go to get things ready. Amidst Monsoon, you think it is possible?

MOD great photos and great work getting the updates, good to see the track is coming along nicely. The GP is going to have the attention of a lot of people around the world, and is another great way to boost tourism to India.

I just hope that enough people attend the race.

just remember , u heared it here first.
And if anyones interested i can fill you in on the reasons why it didnt go ahead, not the reasons that F1 are putting out

and MOD great pix


:cheers:

oh fuck it i'll tell u anyway

http://www.avaaz.org/en/no_f1_in_brutal_bahrain/.
this campaign reversed the decision by putting 'people powe'r pressure on sponsers.
Of cours the tossers at F1 conveniently dont mention it too loudly,citing logistical problems for FOTAS opposition....
Good on u avaaz

^^ Yes i remember ur previous quote. Infact i have really started trusting you.. We all would like to know the real reason behind abandoning Bahrain GP! If you cant explain it in public, you can always PM me... :happy:

So what is the real reason?

sathya 226 , u dont trust me yet youve stolen your location name from my signiture term that ive been using to end my Bombay posts for years?
thats funny
The real reason is because of the avaaz campaign.
Didnt the link work?
Or maybe their website wasnt clear.
They started a campaign to boycot watching it on the bbc, and to boycot sponsers products. Collected half a million sigs very quickly.
F1 is only very vaguly related to motor sport these days.It is , as you all know, a marketing tool.
Why did they bother?
Well becuase of the Bahraini situation but specifically because about 35 people involved with the Bahrain F1 track ,about half of their staff apparently, are currently in prison for being involved with the anti gov 'pro democracy'protests .
Maybe they are being tortured? Maybe they will be killed?
We dont know.
And Bernie 'the bastard', Jean Todt 'the twat' and Mr Garcia 'the pawn' conveniently overlooked this when reinstating the race.
Those people only did what we all can, protest.
And for that F1 was going to pretend they didnt exist.
Hence the Azaaz campaign
Thats the reason as i understand it
Cheers D

^^ Thanx...

Regarding the loction name, its just a coincidence.. Infact i never even knew u before...

no worriz , the more the merrier...


just a little note to explain why ive got a downer on F1, as if anyone cares...

Because the people in charge now are marketing men, interested in selling product
Its reduced the engineering aspect of it, and taken the decent tracks away becuase too many crashes arnet good for the ratings.
(Senna pushed for safer cars not tracks)
F1 is also very corrupt,like all motor sport well all sports.but more so as theres so much money involved.Mant of those guys u see on TV in the pits with tream coulors and helmets on are infact spys from other teams.
I now this for a fact, used to know a mechanic at Mclaren.

Motorsport is engineering and driver talent on intertestin tracks
thats why i love Gp C(dont get me started on how Bernie the bastard ruined that....)and club motor sport.
Some incredable machines have been created and great drivers have had a go.

Having said that this seasons F1 is v exciting thanks to the DRS
:)

Bahrain help for India F1
By SANDEEP SINGH GREWAL , Posted on » Thursday, June 16, 2011

BAHRAIN'S F1 medical team has been chosen to train and assist doctors gearing up for India's historic first Grand Prix.

Motorsport's governing body the FŽdŽration Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA) has appointed chief medical officer Dr Amjad Obaid to lead the task ahead of October's race.

It is a major honour for the country, which lost out on the chance to host the annual Gulf Air Bahrain Grand Prix due to the unrest.

"I have been appointed by the FIA to train doctors for the inaugural race in India," Dr Obaid told the GDN.

"We will be providing specialised training to about 190 medical staff through a series of workshops and seminars.

The inaugural Indian Grand Prix will be held at Buddh International Circuit in Greater Noida, near the capital New Delhi.

The 60-lap race is expected to attract up to 150,000 spectators. Practice and qualifying sessions will be held from October 28-29 and the race on October 30. The 5.137km track features several long straights and a varying mix of corners guaranteeing a challenge for the drivers.

But Dr Obaid said one of the biggest tests for India was training its medical staff so they could deal with any emergency.

"This is a new track and medical staff need to be trained on simulation exercise and other evacuation drills," he said. "The challenges are similar to what we faced when Bahrain first held the F1 race in 2004 at the Sakhir Circuit."

Bahrain's F1 medical team will share its experience with their Indian counterparts, having successfully hosted seven races.

Dr Obaid said they would adopt Bahrain's model in India by having extrication and intervention teams with ambulances stationed at the track.

Training on basic marshalling concepts will also be provided by Bahrain's medical team in the coming months. Bahrain's F1 medical team has already taken part in a workshop to meet their Indian counterparts.

Dr Obaid said the Bahrain Motor Federation would also play a key role in the training process.

"There will be a batch of medical delegates from Bahrain who will leave for Delhi in the coming weeks to carry out the training," he said.

"The Bahrain Motor Federation is also helping us carry out this task."

At last year's Bahrain Grand Prix, Dr Obaid led a team of close to 180 people with 15 specialised professionals during the race. They included staff from primary healthcare, physicians, nurses from the Accident and Emergency department at Salmaniya Medical Complex, paramedics and food inspectors.

The Indian GP was earlier switched to December after Bahrain was given the October 30 slot following its postponement in March.

But Bahrain International Circuit officials said on Saturday they were looking forward to welcoming the teams and drivers to next year's race after teams voiced concerns about security.

Indian GP allays ticketing fears (http://ibnlive.in.com/news/indian-gp-allays-ticketing-fears/160353-5-24.html)

2011 is shaping up to be a historic year for Indian motor sports and that’s because India’s first ever Formula One Race, The Indian Grand Prix is now scheduled for the 30th of October right here in Delhi. But outside the Formula One, which really is the icing on the cake there is plenty of motorsports action both on two and four wheels

Greater Noida is a part of Delhi?

^^No. But it's a part of NCR.

I know. I was just pointing out their mistake.

great find suncity. :cheers::cheers:

^^ Thats a very old pic Sun....that green area is the lawn of site office...

Any official word on Indian GP ticketing...... the JayPee website does not update you of anything.....

JayPee should take a look at websites of other GP's for reference and update their website.

This is my first post and wanted to post it in the topic i have been following for the past 4 months. MOD u photos have been great. Just hope the Quality of Work is international standards and also hope the track is ready much before time.

Seems like the Great Man Schumi is also involved in the design of our very own Indian GP track.
