What Happened to F1 In India? - Ft.

Formula 1 raced in India from 2011 until 2013. India is home to some incredible tourist attractions, massive cricket fans, and has the most tigers in a single country. Formula 1 is missed by many Indian F1 fans, who are of the opinion that the Indian Grand Prix simply wasn't around for long enough when it had such huge potential. Part of why Formula 1 no longer races in India was due to a tax dispute with the local government deeming Formula 1 not a sport, but entertainment, meaning the tax on the event skyrocketed. The Indian Grand Prix was not subsidised by the government meaning it was up to the Buddh International Circuit and the organisers, to fund the entire thing. As you will find out in this video, it was simply too much..
Enjoy.
