F1 teams had input into Indian GP design

The Indian GP, which is expected to take place in October of next year, has had design input from the Formula One teams, according to Mark Hughes, the vice-president of JPSK sports – a subsidiary of the Jaypee Group who have signed a 10-year contract with FOM to host the event.

The track has been designed by F1 regular Herman Tilke, who has often come under criticism from fans, calling his tracks, ‘Tilkedromes’ thanks to their design which rarely aid overtaking.

Hughes though, has combined Tilke’s knowledge with input from the F1 teams by sending them data and asking for improvements to the design.

“We sent the details to all the teams and they programmed the information into their simulators and gave us feedback on where we could make improvements and add overtaking opportunity points,” he told Reuters.

The track will be the second fastest on the calendar after Monza.

“It’s an undulating 5.5 kilometre track which we expect to have the second fastest average speed of any circuit on the calendar behind Monza,” Hughes added.

Construction of the circuit is well underway, with a July 2011 deadline set to allow for FIA safety checks.
