And now the local farmers who lost land are threatening to disrupt the GP

"We are not against the race, but we feel we have been short-changed in the deal," farmer leader Virender Dhada was quoted as saying.....

In response JP Sports reply:

"People should not be taking these threats seriously. There is so much riding on the race for the company and the country, do you think we will allow a handful of farmers to spoil it?
"We have spent $400 million dollars on the race and we will spend a few millions more if needed to have adequate security in place. We will do whatever it takes to have a wonderful event."

Whatever it takes?

Here's a suggestion: spend those "few millions more" on buying the land for a fair price in the first place, then the extra security wouldn't be needed. Mini-rant over.

 

[MCLS]

That would require common sense

That would require common sense

Plus the notion that the 'common man' has rights!

How can you not like this track I think its one of Tilke's best. There's a fair bit on undulations and some fast corner sequences and no tight chicanes.

Ah, that is a madman's dream!

Yeah, looks promising, but we won't know till we see some action. Looking forward to it!

Since the race is now much closer than 90 days I presume that it passed the FIA inspection. All that was supposed to do was check that the surface of the track had been laid and that all the support buildings and spectator areas were complete and ready both inside and out.

The FIA must have a copy of their report somewhere and I am sure that we would all like to see it.

Just as well since it sounds like there won't be many usable ones anyway.

... Although, this picture of the pitlane is slightly worrying.... Are they trying to enforce the speed limit with speedbumps? http://twitter.com/#!/IndianGPF1/media/slideshow?url=pic.twitter.com/BT63rC8r
