Formula One in Delhi, India by 2009

Well the news is already out that the Indian Olympic Association(IOA) got a proposal from Bernie Ecclestone, CEO of Formula One for conducting the Formula One Grand Prix race in 2009. The IOA has chosen Delhi as possible track. Of course, its very tough for India to construct a track specifically for Grand Prix in such a short notice. They are studying the feasibility and if everything goes just fine it would be fabulous :).

  1. They have proposed for a street circuit! Knowing the conditions of the Indian roads this might seem a bit ridiculous, but then coughing up enough finance will surely make it possible.
  2. They're trying to make the Rajbhavan road (the road which has India Gate, Republic day parade road) into the street circuit. That is a perfect one! The wide neat roads have decent stretches too!
  3. The Kingfisher owner Vijay Mallya is tring to push the proposal hard and one can even expect him sponsoring the whole thing, if one wants to see fast results(unlike the Indian Govt. sluggish movement).

Hoping for the best!

And I am sure every one is excited about tomorrow's Grand Prix, the United states circuit! If only Hamilton can bag his second victory! He was too magnificent last week, with a lead of around 20 seconds till the safety car was out.
