The management of India’s premier Tilke-designed venue have revealed the logo and the official name of the track that will host the inaugural Indian Grand Prix race. The circuit, roughly 25 miles outside New Delhi in Greater Noida, has been named after the Gautam Buddh Nagar district where it is based as "Buddh International Circuit". At the unveiling of the new logo the chairman of organisers Jaypee Sports International, Manoj Gaur, said everything was in place to ensure the circuit would be completed and signed off in time.
"Be assured my friends. Our and [our] country's reputation is there. We are responsible people. The track is ready and the homologation of the facility will be done in July as per the time-table of the FIA."
Samir Gaur, managing director of Jaypee Sports International, said tickets would be set at affordable prices, although the final levels have not been decided.
"We can't disclose the pricing but it would be moderate. It is in the final stages and it will start from Rs 2500 [US$ 56] onwards.
The circuit is yet to receive official approval from motorsport governing body the FIA, although full homologation is expected to be granted by summer.
