Grand Prix Of India Preview

It has to be
said that the next stop of the formula one world championship certainly has
been talked about and planned very thoroughly, but now after this weekend’s
event, it will be taken off the schedule and might not return.

The Grand
Prix of India at the Buddah circuit has not had very many dramatic moments, but
it was only a few years ago that if there is a team represented in England with
an Indian following, why not a grand prix event in India as well??

Now with
this weekend’s event maybe being the last if it does not return could be quite
be a waste after the Herman Tilke build circuit has probably one of the most
modern features in a grand prix race track with three of the greatest spots for
fan viewing.

The start
goes downhill and then turns and heads back up by turn three, but it is the
back straight which makes the faster cars take advantage of the situation as
this straight, which is the longest of the three, can go as far as nearly three
miles and can take flat out for about 15 seconds in a well-equipped race car.
By the time you get to this point, the road begins to head back up again, which
the gearing will be all mixed because of all the variety that it has gone
through.

But it is
not finished yet. Turns 10 and 11 before returning to the main straight, are twistier
than the long straights but the drivers that will be experiencing turn 11 can compared
it to Suzuka’s Spoon Corner, which drivers experienced in the last race.The lateral
G forces over most of this circuit will test the power of all the drivers as
they close in on the conclusion of this year’s formula one world championship
with five races to go.
