12-01-2004

(GMM -- Dec.1) India still wants to host a Formula One race.

Funding for a purpose-built track in Hyderabad were canned by a new government, but the Motor Sports Club of India is now working on a plan for a Monaco-like street event in Andhra Pradesh.

That option would be cheaper and easier for a government to justify, an advisor to the MSCI told an Indian newspaper.

''When the F1 circus lands somewhere they require about 2500 (hotel) rooms alone,'' said Sanjay Sharmi, ''and if we consider the other economic benefits ... we can imagine the gain to India.''
