The year 2011 was a big outburst of joy for car race lovers when India hosted its first ever Formula One Grand Prix in the Buddh International Circuit (BIC) of Greater Noida. BIC was India’s first ever motor track circuit designed by the world-renowned German architect and racetrack designer Herman Tilke.

It was India’s pride when this great race turned out to be a huge success despite complaints about a dirty tracks and air pollutions created by dusts. Many people felt that the organisation for the circuit access was disappointing vowing to the fact the buses to and fro from the race was limited, time consuming as well as poorly organised. Also they complaint about the quality of food and drinks that has been served in spite of being highly overpriced .Being an international game, the standards of food were so pathetic in tastes .Though there were many reviews of people who had uncomfortable experience on the first race, especially the elderly and woman with children, yet still it did not disappoint them with the overall experience of watching and hearing the high- powered steering machines in their very own country. And if there is one striking point on Buddh International Circuit is that the drivers unanimously praised the circuit along with the international media who enjoyed themselves on the Indian Media coverage left the overall experience strikingly remarkable.

The second F1 Indian Grand Prix (2012) had its lessons learned from experience and the Infrastructure and Industrial Development Commissioner (IIDC) Anil Kumar Gupta held a meeting on September 7, 2012 in Lucknow to review the preparations for the 2012 F1 Indian Grand Prix organised to take place from October 26 to October 28 in Great Noida along with senior officials of Greater Noida Authority and police.

According to a press release from IIDC and reports from the Indian Express, Mr.Gupta said, “All efforts should be made to ensure easy access and comfortable experience of spectators, providing medical facilities and greater number of traffic marshals with adequate security arrangements.”

He also added that it is crucial for  educating the public about routes and facilities available, tickets, parking area and ‘dos and don’ts’ through advertisements in newspapers and publicise relevant information through banner and posters.

Keeping aside what had happened in the past, the Indian Grand Prix is slowly climbing the path of winning stream. With neat organised planning, well–informed circuits as depicted by Mr.Gupta, this year Indian Grand Prix 2012 no doubt will turn out to be a hit among every household members as well as make headlines with positive reviews .We have to just wait and watch the fun .
