India to make F1 debut in October next year

[SpArK]

Benny, first of all, there arent going to be thousands of jobs. Apart from the unskilled labor used during construction, I dont think running a F1 race wont need more high-skilled folks than say a regular international cricket test match or the IPL series.

I also agree about this being a business opportunity and it will definitely put India on the world map. But for me, it will also be another reminder of the stark disparities in our country.

Anyway, I dont want to play the spoilsport for the F1 fans here. For your sake, I hope it comes out well and you guys enjoy it.

You are not aware of how much people gets involved in various stages of such a huge event.

Promotions, conduct, marketing, publicity, ground staff, private security,media , suprevisiors, technical officers, PR, etc etc .. It will more than 10000+

Not just money which is matter here

the Automobile industry would also be benefited with R&D
more facilities developing for the support of F1 will help Indian automobile industry

oops sorry.. i will edit it.

Well this is a very good development and makes me proud. However frankly have never followed a F1 race in my life till now. May be i will get to know more about it from now on.

Not sure if this is good for our automobile industry since desiwalas go for mileage rather than speed.
