Vrooming in India too!
It’s official. India for the first time in history will be hosting Formula One Grand Prix. Only condition is that the track needs to be ready by July 30 and achieves an FIA homologation. Lovejeet Alexander visits the tracks for The Indian to find the turns and bumps hidden in each lap of the circuit projected to be one of the fastest and most entertaining of any other all across the globe.
The high-tech city of Greater Noida, situated around thirty kilometres from New Delhi has been known to the world for giving the best of the racing video games. What seems to be inspired from the gaming outsourcer’s virtual design, Jaypee Group is constructing a real motor racing track in the city. Stature of the project could be judged by the mere fact that recently, following an extraordinary meeting of the World Motor Sport Council in Paris, the calendar announcement for GP 2011 included the venue too. Addition of the Indian GP to F1 calendar will make 2011 a 20-race season, longest in the history of the sport.

A couple of years ago, former British Conservative Party deputy chairman Lord Archer, while on tour promoting his novel A Prisoner Of Birth, made some very unusual comments. He said, “Britain is going to be taken over by Indians. And I don’t joke. Indians are taking over the local councils. There are mayors all over England who are Indian.” Pointing to a young journalist he said, “You are young enough, I suspect, to live to see an Indian prime minister in England.”
Although his prediction may look more like a satire, the prophecy rightly catches the trend on track. Migrant Indians, after taking over boardroom seats, are now aiming for political thrones. Which other nation could offer a better land to set that example, if not America? The United States has always been a fertile land for Indian talent to breed. The ambitious Indian community in the US has started trying its luck in the government with full vigor.
