Altitudes make the Indian F1 circuit special by Race Promoters


A wild 14-metre high corner and a 1.2km stretch, where cars can run at a speed of 320km/hr, will make the Jaypee race track challenging and exciting for the drivers, the promoters of the Indian Grand Prix said on Friday. India will host its first ever Formula One GP on October 30 next year at the currently under-construction circuit after being marked as the venue of the 18th race on the 2011 calendar.

The corner on turn three is 14 meters high and it will be a challenge from a driver's perspective. It's wild at that point. One mistake and you will be out of the race. There is a stretch of 1.2 kilometer which will be the fastest on calendar. The driver speed would be something around 320km per hour. From turns 10 and 11, it will be very fast and the temporary Grand Stands will be so close to the track that about 13,000 spectators.
