We Want Govt To Help Motorsports By Not Putting Barriers For Its Development, Says Former F1 Driver Karun Chandhok
Madras Motor Sports Club: The 2011 Indian Grand Prix has a unique place in the history of Formula 1 racing and Indian motorsports.
It is the first and only Formula 1 Grand Prix which had two Indian drivers racing – Narain Karthikeyan for HRT team while Karun Chandhok represented Team Lotus. Both were test drivers for their respective teams and had stepped in regular drivers Jarno Trulli and Daniel Ricciardo.
From that eventful day when India had two drivers on the circuit, an Indian Grand Prix held at the Buddh International Circuit in Greater Noida and an Indian team, Force India F1. Around a decade later, none of these things are there. Karthikeyan and Chandhok have retired from Formula 1, the Force India F1 team is defunct, there is not Indian Grand Prix and the Buddh Internation Circuit hosts occasional races.
