The Madras High Court on Monday waved the green flag for the conduct of Formula 4 Indian Championship as well as the Indian Racing League Night Street Race on a 3.7 km long street race circuit planned around the Island Grounds in Chennai city.
The Second Division Bench of Justices R. Mahadevan and Mohammed Shaffiq refused to stall the two races at the instance of a group of public interest litigants and instead permitted the State government to conduct the races with certain conditions.
The judges ordered that attention to the highest degree must be paid to public safety and patients of Government Multi Super Speciality Hospital at Omandurar Estate and the Rajiv Gandhi Government General Hospital must not be subjected to inconvenience.
