F1 in India: Tickets, Venue and Info
Some info about the track that’s located about 40 kilometers from New Delhi and will soon be hosting India’s very first Formula 1 race on October 30. The circuit is part of the Jaypee Green Sports City, which will also have a Golf-course, a cricket stadium, a hockey stadium and a Sports Academy. And that is all true, I did not make any of that up, I believe India is thinking about sports and not just Cricket.
The F1 track has been designed by the circuit architect Hermann Tilke, who also designed the circuit in Abu Dhabi and two more circuits that I don’t know about. Of course I could’ve Googled it, but I’m sure you’re going to do it anyway, if you’re interested.
So, the track has been completed and has been approved by some officials from the Formula 1 department wearing suits. Hence the date has been set, finally, which means that we can all go watch a Formula 1 race live, about 1,50,000 of us. The circuit is located somewhere around Sector 25 of Greater Noida and is called the Buddh International Circuit. Below is the complete address if you plan on snooping around;
Sector 25, YEIDA Dankaur,
Greater Noida, U.P., India
There are about two long stretches and 15 fairly difficult corners that will test both the drivers and the cars. Oh, and also how tough the track is, hope they haven’t used the same material used in regular Indian roads.
You can buy the tickets for Indian stage of Formula 1 Grand Prix from BookMyShow, with prices starting from INR 2500 and going all the way up to INR 35,000.
I will see you there, if you let me know who you are!!
