MotoGP Bharat: A brief about Buddh International Circuit

The Buddh International Circuit was opened in October 2011 ahead of the inaugural Formula 1 Indian Grand Prix. The construction of the venue began in 2009 after the Indian Olympic Association reached an agreement with Formula One Group to host the first-ever F1 race in the country. Only three editions of the Indian Grand Prix were held before the race from the F1 calendar was removed in 2013. Sebastian Vettel of Red Bull Racing-Renault won all three Indian Grand Prix races.
