Well he didn't give any reviews on the bike but he was very happy with the track, though the same layout will not be used.

As about the bike, it was fully modified with the daytona kit and it revved like mad. 110-115 kph in 3rd gear itself

Mahindra? They have been in the 125cc class last year and are participating in the Moto3 this year.

Alright guys, its happening... MotoGP coming to India in 2013!

New Delhi: In 2011 India hosted its first ever Formula One Grand Prix at the Buddh International Circuit, and by March 2013 MotoGP will make its debut at the 5.14-km long racetrack.

According to media reports, by March 2013 Buddh International Circuit is aiming to add both MotoGP and World Superbike to its event line-up. "We want to accommodate all of these races, but India has only five months of good weather (October-March) when they can be held," said Sameer Gaur, managing director and chief executive officer of Jaypee Sports International told a leading business daily.



Another leading website says: "The decision to hold the opening round of next year's MotoGP season in India comes directly from Carmelo Ezpelata, the head of MotoGP organising body, Dorna, who insisted that the MotoGP racing season should start earlier from next year in the month of March than its present opening in April."

Leading international car and motorcycle manufacturers have also shown keen interest in the Indian circuit and its potential to hold world class events to showcase their products.

I didn't understand why he said only 5 months of good weather (October to March). I think Summer racing might be uncomfortable, but its relatively safer and grippy enough to race.
But anyways, let's hope India replaces Qatar as the location for the first round of MotoGP.

I won't believe it until it actually happens.

Jaypee has been trying to rope in both motogp and wsbk from the very beginning. And other than Indian media and their 'scoops', nobody else is talking Indian GP yet.

Hopefully it will happen. But sadly Indian journalists are more into hype than real news.

Waiting for the day when Motogp and wsbk will officially announce a tie up BIC.

^ Not sure about it's credibility. NDTV ran an article quoting Zigwheels. However, MotoGP themselves have not given any official press releases. So lets not jump the gun.
