Delhi deserves way better infrastructure than that. It deserves an F1 stadium. I don't understand why so many people are against F1 in India. It is the third most watched sports in the world after the FIFA World Cup and the Olympics. In India, billions and billions of people watch F1 every weekend. We feel India is denied of good sports. We should get rid of cricket. Cricket is a sickness and a disease in India. It does not have any competiton around the world. If India needs to catch up with the rest of the world to become a developed nation, it also has to advance in sports. Almost every kid in India dream of becoming an F1 driver. So it is important to have an F1 track in India to fulfill the dreams of many youngsters and make life much easier and they would not have to go abroad to watch F1. India has to develop infratructure not just for cricket, but for Olympics, football and car racing and train youngsters to catch up with USA, China, Australia and Brazil. These are one of the things India needs to develop to catch up with the rest of the world. F1 will bring smiles on every Indian's face. It has huge fan following all over the world. By the way, I would also like to see the pictures of the new F1 track in Delhi. I don’t think F1 racing should be held on the streets of Delhi. Delhi deserves way better infrastructure than that.

Hi Sudarshan

Unfortunately, I don’t know enough about the construction methods and standards of F1 tracks to be able to help you. The FIA website may be a good place to start in your search for information – if they have none, it is likely that there will be links to sites that could help.

Thanks, Ankit, that has brought me up to date on India - no talk of sacred cows in future, I promise! You're right that it's largely the fault of the media since they report the bad and rarely the good. I think, if you did a survey, most westerners would be under the same illusions that showed in my post - and I'm glad that you and Uppili have set us straight on these things. At least my post has enabled that to happen... ;) I learn something every day. Thanks, Ankit, that has brought me up to date on India – no talk of sacred cows in future, I promise!
