In what could change the face of motorsport in India, three new racetracks are coming up in the country.
Ebrahim also said that this would be the much-needed boost for Indian motorsport. “I have always been saying that when more infrastructure comes up across the country, the sport grows that much faster because people have access to the tracks. One can’t keep travelling from one place to the other all the time,” he said.
“When you have more karting tracks and racetracks near your hometown, you will take up the sport.”
Right now, India has three major tracks viz. Buddh International Circuit (FIA Grade 1) in Greater Noida, Madras Motor Race Track (FIA Grade 2) in Sriperumbudur and the Kari Motor Speedway in Coimbatore. These apart, there are international level karting tracks in Bangalore and Hyderabad. The others are mostly recreational karting tracks or those that can host National Championships.
