India's F1 track ready for 2011
Speaking of whether or not the circuit would be finished in time was Samir Gaur, managing director of construction company JPSK Sports: "The progress is very nice. I'm absolutely, absolutely confident that the track will be ready in 2011," he toldReuters.Constructors of the New Delhi circuit have confirmed that the venue is making progress, and will be able to debut on the Formula One calendar in two years' time. India is one of a number of countries scheduled to host its first Grand Prix in coming seasons, starting with Abu Dhabi at the end of 2009.
Originally planned to debut next year, however, the race's slot was moved by a year due to the international credit crunch and a subsequent decision by Formula One Management's Bernie Ecclestone.
Although the country is yet to host a Formula One Grand Prix, the first Indian team appeared in 2008 after Kingfisher's Vijay Mallya acquired the Dutch Spyker outfit. There are no worries over the attendance of the race either, as India is the world's second most populated country, after China.
