Will Chennai get an F1 Circuit ?

It was supposed to be Hyderabad, then Mumbai and now suddenly we find Chennai in contention. It was Naidu's dream to get F1 racing to Hyd but after his surprise election loss the issue died down there. Then Mumbai was supposed to become an F1 circuit but seems Chennai is hot in competition.

According to this Report in TOI , the CM of TN has already written to the Prime Minister regarding establishment of a F1 Circuit in Chennai. She has also pledged her full support to get F1 circuit and a automobile testing facility at Chennai.

So who is going to win this race ? Only time will tell.

  • I read this news somewhere else also (think at teakadai). But if TOI reports it, then I have my doubts about the authenticity of the news :-)

  • Chennai needs proper Water source not a F1 circuit. Chennai Roads are not even fit for Cycle rickshaw race how the hell were going to drive a F1 car.

    First day of the racel the Ferrari will be in Pudupettai and its parts on sale!!!

  • F1 is a waste of resource. They say its for research but after about 50 yrs of racing the car still uses internal combustion ( a 50 year old tech) and fossil fuel!
