The state government has also asked the authorities concerned to arrange for a vehicle parking space for 25,000 cars and has asked for making of a 15-km long ‘entry ramp’ on the Yamuna Expressway.
Formula One Grand Prix was first held in India at the Buddh International circuit on Oct 30, 2011 where Red Bull’s Sebastian Vettel had won the inaugural race. Last year, the likes of Lady Gaga were also seen performing at the post-race party.
The 5.14 km long circuit has been designed by world-renowned German architect and racetrack designer, Hermann Tilke, who has also designed other race circuits in Malaysia, Bahrain, China, Turkey, the UAE, South Korea and the US and was seen as a big achievement of then UP chief minister Mayawati.
