With just ten days to go for the inaugural MotoGP Bharat, a significant landmark was achieved with the Buddh International Circuit in Greater Noida, Uttar Pradesh, set to be homologated for the premier motorcycle racing event.
The circuit hosted three Formula One races from 2011 to 2013 and will welcome the premier motorcycling championship next weekend from September 22 to 24 as the 13th round of the 2023 MotoGP Championship.
Though the track was built to accommodate cars and bikes, modifications were needed at some corners apart from adding air fences and foam barriers to make it FIM compliant, which is required to hold a MotoGP race.
