Cool Indian F1 track construction on course

Samir Gaur, managing director of India's JPSK Sports Pvt Ltd., a company backed by Jaiprakash Associates , has said that the work for the Indian F1 grand prix track is on course and should see its completion by 2011 for the India race that year.

Quote:
"The progress is very nice...I'm absolutely, absolutely confident (it will be completed)
The race was pushed back from 2010 because of the Formula One calendar," Gaur said. "From what we understand, they had scheduled an India race only in 2011.
Gaur's company acquired the rights to hold F1 races in India after the Indian Olympic Association (IOA) took the initial steps to bring a grand prix to the country.
"The design stage is in progress and regarding construction, the investigations of the site have also started," he said.




Considering they haven't even decided the location of the site, that sure is an ambition target

Way too over-ambitious. Seeing the progress made for the Commonwealth games in 2010, I doubt if the track will even exist on paper by this time next year.

Thread title should have said "is on track" instead of "on course" woulda been a nice pun.

IPL would be more interesting to Mallya, now that his team has won the opening match convincingly..

lol i doubt one match performance will influence Mallaya's long term vision. F1 is infact more in sync with Mallaya and his company as an upper crest boozing sport

He didn't put in so much of cash into F1 just for the heck of it and to let it stagnate.

race is planned for year 2011 and loaction of track is not even set. that's pathetic.
If they really what to bring F1 to India, they must work on it rapidly.

I don't think an F1 track will be ready to race, before testing.
viewing progress..........i see race in 2011 not possible in India.
