Buddh

The Buddh International Circuit is located in Jaypee Sports City in Greater Noida, in the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh. Its name comes from the district of Gautam Buddh Nagar, where the track stands. It was first known as the Jaypee Group Circuit, after its owners, and received its current name in April 2011. Hermann Tilke designed the circuit, and it was officially opened on 18 October 2011.

The lap is 5.125 kilometres long, has 16 corners and runs clockwise. The design was adjusted after feedback from the teams to make overtaking easier: a planned hairpin at turn seven was dropped and turn three was widened. The track climbs 14 metres within the first three corners. Turns 10, 11 and 12 form a banked sequence. One banked corner is nicknamed the Currybolica, a nod to the Parabolica at Monza. The main straight is 1.06 kilometres long and the pit lane is more than 600 metres in length.

The first Indian Grand Prix took place on 30 October 2011. It had originally been planned for December, but it was moved to October after the Bahrain race was cancelled. Formula One raced here three times, from 2011 to 2013, and Sebastian Vettel won all three for Red Bull, starting from pole position each time. In 2013 he clinched his fourth consecutive drivers' title at the circuit, while Red Bull took its fourth consecutive constructors' title. It was the final Formula One race held at the track, as India was absent from the calendar from 2014. In 2023 the circuit hosted a round of MotoGP.
