Add The Sporting News as a preferred news source<\/a><\/p>\nThe journey to revive the Indian Grand Prix comes after the event was unceremoniously axed following the 2013 season. It took place for three years, with Sebastian Vettel winning all three Indian GPs.<\/p>\n
Is F1 Indian Grand Prix set for return?<\/p>\n
The Adani Group has taken significant steps to take control of the Formula 1 track in Greater Noida from the Jaypee group. Experts believe that this will breathe fresh life into the high-octane sport in India, which has seen its global audience explode since Liberty Media took the helm in 2017.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere will be an F1 race in India in 2027. First race will be at Buddh International Circuit,” Mandaviya said.<\/p>\n
The synergy between the government and the Federation of Motor Sports Clubs of India (FMSCI) appears to be the engine driving this movement. Following a crucial summit in March, Vicky Chandhok, who was at the forefront when F1 first arrived in India, noted the ministry\u2019s immense enthusiasm.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe explored the potential of bringing Formula One and MotoGP to India. The ministry is enthusiastic and clear that, given India\u2019s advancement in technology, it deserves the best sports,” Chandhok said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey sought to understand the challenges and assess our organisational capabilities. The minister and the ministry are very supportive.”<\/p>\n
Sources suggest that the FMSCI is currently facilitating a high-level meeting between Mandaviya and the sport\u2019s powerbroker, Stefano Domenicali.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe revival effort is also being aligned with national sporting priorities. Integrating motorsports within this broader framework could help nurture talent early and create a strong pipeline of drivers, technicians, and motorsport professionals,” PTI quoted a source as saying.<\/p>\n
