Indian Grand Prix - Jaypee Group Circuit
This race has been delayed until 2011 but they've finally got round to revealing the design of the circuit holding the race, the Jaypee Group Circuit in Greater Noida



Here for masterplan - run-off areas suggest clockwise, whilst the pit straight is not the one shown on the Wiki diagram above

Looks a bit like a warped edit of new Kyalami. Doesn't strike as "ye gods that's awful" but at the same time, that's a lot of hairpins and heavy braking. Could be reasonably good

Is this another one by Captain Unpopular? I mean Tilke?

Not sure about the design. I quite like that top section, looks like Suzuka for about 4 corners!

Long straights !!!!! Is that a consequence of "more overtaking" ?

That corner on the top left side of the diagram has got a nice shape. But one classic corner on a track is not enough. Still, somehow I get the impression that somebody from Bureau Tilke must have taken a look at out MyTracks sub-board on here.
Stylistically, this design looks somewhat like Tilke has copied ScotsBrutesFan's design style from about a year ago. SBF, if you read this, how would you edit this track so that it does not end up with that many sharp corners?

I'm going to reserve judgement until:

a) We see what (if any) elevation changes there are on the track.

b) We see a Gp2 race there, Gp2 being the barometer of how much overtaking a track can produce IMO.

Rumour has it that the entire operation is being overseen by a Mr Simon Gillett. Rumour also has it that he has plans to put a tunnel under the Taj Mahal.

I think that is the best place for it. I cant see it happening and having worked in India the past 18 months i cant see anybody being particularly interested in paying the usual GP ticket prices...+ Indian govt has already stated that Motorsport-F1 is not a sport and not eligible for govt assistance meaning it has to be built with private money...+ there are so many better places to be having a GP

F1 is s business, not a traditional sport. I think the Indian government is right to refuse public money that just gets transferred from where it is needed (the Indian populous), in to BE's pocket, via a £500 million track that gets used twice a year.

Rather to my surprise, I find myself in complete agreement with the Indian Government.

Like the UK's premier league footie, F1 is a business and the money needs to come from those who are going to benefit from it.

Of course, it may well be that some governments feel that there is tourist trade/prestige to be garnered from F1 and decide to support it on that basis but it's not because it is a sport.

Indian govt see more value in supporting cricket, hockey, football and squash/tennis. I agree that these sports are far more deserving of govt funding and support, rather then support a sport for 100 priveleged Indians to race at home on an FIA licenced track

I'm not seeing a circuit length. Anyone know if this one will also be in that ~5.4km realm?

I think this one may have more potential than a number of Tilke's other efforts, but by the same token, I'm not holding my breath on this one being that good either.
