The Jaypee Group Circuit, in Greater Noida, Uttar Pradesh, India is an under-construction Formula One racing circuit, near Delhi. It will host the Indian Grand Prix Formula One race in 2011.^[1]

[edit] History

In July 2007 it was proposed that a circuit in Greater Noida be built to host a race in 2009.^[2]

In September 2007 two sites were under investigation Sohna, Haryana and Greater Noida, Uttar Pradesh to host a race in 2010.^[3]

In October, 2007, the FIA signed a Rs 1600 crore contract with JPSK Sports Private Limited to organize an F1 race in India. JPSK is owned by Jaiprakash Associates (74%), Sumeer Kalmadi^[4] (son of Suresh Kalmadi, IOA president) owned Sulba Realty Private Limited (13%) and Delhi based Trackwork International Pvt Ltd (13%). The 'SK' in JPSK is an apparent reference to Sumeer Kalmadi.^[5]

Estimated to cost between 15 billion and 18 billion INR (up to $364 million) to build, it is expected to be completed by April 2011. It will have a length of 5.5 km and an area of 4000 hectares. Seating capacity is expected to be 200,000.^[6]

The circuit will be part of the 2500 acres Jaypee Greens Sports City, [1] which is planned to include a 100,000 seat cricket stadium, 18-hole golf course, 25,000 seat hockey stadium and a sports academy.
