India loves sport and 2011 is set to be a big year for sport in the Asian country thanks to the inaugural Indian Grand Prix. Mark Hughes, vice president of JPSK Sports, the Jaypee Group subsidiary charged with constructing the all-new circuit near Delhi, is determined the race will make a major impression on the calendar. With young fans aplenty, a growing Formula One interest courtesy of Karun Chandhok and Force India, a state-of-the-art track in the making, and a passionate promoter, he shouldn't be disappointed…

The 5.14 km F1 race track is constructed by Jaypee Sports International (JSPI) at the Jaypee Sports City, in Great Noida, adjacent to the Yamuna Expressway that connects Noida and Agra and roughly 35 kms away from New Delhi. This race track is designed by Herman Tilke, with inputs from Bernie Ecclestone. Jaypee Group also sought feedback and inputs from Karun Chandok and other F1 drivers.

Jaypee Group's race official Mark Hughes is the track's boss. He told the media that construction was happening in full swing, and the track would ready by May 31st, 2011. He told Times of India that the Indian F1 race track would be one among the fastest Formula One race tracks in the world. He expects that the average lap-time on this track would be approximately 1 min 24 sec.
