2011 Formula 1 Airtel Grand Prix Of India
Repeat of 2009? New track when both WDC and WCC are sealed the race before (Brawn in 2009, RBR just a few days ago).
I have yet to try this track out on F1 2011, but seemed to be a fun place to drive. We will still see lots of fighting and racing to fulfill each driver's big ego! Race Date: 30 Oct 2011 Circuit Name: Buddh International Circuit Number of Laps: 60 Circuit Length: 5.137 km Race Distance: TBC Lap Record: - Tire Compounds Provided: Prime: Hard (Silver) Option: Soft (Yellow) Rain: Intermediate (Light Blue), Wet (Orange) F1 TIMETABLE (New Delhi Local Time) Fri 28 October 2011 Practice 1 10:00 - 11:30 Practice 2 14:00 - 15:30 Sat 29 October 2011 Practice 3 11:00 - 12:00 Qualifying 14:00 Sun 30 October 2011 Race 15:00 F1 TIMETABLE (Pacific Time) Fri 28 October 2011 Practice 1 (Thu) 21:30 - 23:00 Practice 2 (Fri) 01:30 - 03:00 Sat 29 October 2011 Practice 3 (Fri) 22:30 - 23:30 Qualifying (Sat) 01:30 Sun 30 October 2011 Race 02:30 F1 TIMETABLE (Eastern Time) Fri 28 October 2011 Practice 1 00:30 - 02:00 Practice 2 04:30 - 06:00 Sat 29 October 2011 Practice 3 01:30 - 02:30 Qualifying 04:30 Sun 30 October 2011 Race 05:30

Flying out tomorrow, first to Bombay and then to Delhi for the race! Feels crazy that it is actually happening. Will try to post impressions/pics from each day at the track, if time is available From what I can tell, all that remains is installation of the final kerbing, as well as cleaning all the dust off the track, and a bit of landscaping work. |

Looks like a great track! Kinda reminds me of the Korean track, however, since it has several long straights and pretty much just one twisty section. |

Track layout looks interesting. A little similar to Korea where you have 2 long straights separated by a short double turn and then a windy mid-section. Looks fun to drive though.

I've driven it on F1 2011, it feels like a mix of Korea and the old Magny-cours circuit. Most notably, it feels quick, without many slow corners, and the overall lap is rather short.

I tried it out in F1 2011 and it was fun, very good flow to the track.

Was about to say, seems a short lap...which could also make it nicer to watch on-screen.

Hard to make predictions, although I expect tyre degradation to be very high. Temps are current around 30-35 c here (90-95 F) during the day, but gets down into the 60s at night.
