The Speed Show

India will be the latest country to host the F1 Grand Prix. It will be held in October 2011 at Jaypee Group Circuit, in Greater Noida, about 50 kilometres from the national capital New Delhi.

The estimated cost to develop the 5.15 km circuit is about US$215 million with a seating capacity of 150,000.


Abu Dhabi, the capital city of the United Arab Emirates, began hosting the F1 GP in 2009. The Yas Marina track will cost an estimated US$1.5b to build.



Singapore began hosting the event in September 2008.

The Singapore government is shouldering 60% of the US$100m cost for hosting the event for the next five years.

The race took place right in downtown Singapore, disrupting traffic and businesses, meant both the cost and inconvenience of staging the event is high.
