Indian Grand Prix – Just the thought of having an Indian grand prix gets a smile across Indian grand prix fans. They’ve waited way too long for this to happen. Initially, the track was supposed to be developed in Mumbai, then the focus shifted to Hyderabad and now finally, the Buddh Circuit (Indian Grand Prix) is being developed in Noida (outskirts of New Delhi).

Since, India will be hosting their first race, the stadium / track is bound to be full to its capacity and you should be booking your tickets early, if you are a true F1 fanatic.
