F1
by Srinand Kaushik on Apr 10, 2007 05:08 PM

Any man-made stuff now-a-days is against the law of nature. Kindly stop enjoying at the cost of nature or stop blabbering about the Himalayan Glaciers melting down, or Global warming

Man with a vision
by vinay s on Apr 10, 2007 05:08 PM

Hey Guys,

Admist all these reports we forget one man but for his poll debacle F1 would have been a two year old event in india. The man i am talking about is Chandra babu naidu. The man who had already earmarked 100 acres of prime land on the outskirts of hyderabad. Thanks to our current Chief minister, Dr.YSR Reddy,this was the first project to be scrapped by him.

F 1 ! Ha Ha Ha

Any country which has communists in the 'dog in the manger' nuisance value as they have in India, F 1 would be a distant dream. Forget it !

Humble request to mighty indian government, first please provide with good road so that , it will be easy for ordinary public to drive thier car and would help to minimise road acidents. Then we can think of India as future F1 destination. Start from basic Mr. Government

It would be like Studying only one subject thoroughly (you are never thorough in any subject), and when you are doubly sure that you know the in and outs of the Subject, then move on to the next one.

i agree Mr. Krishna, if u saying studying only one subject,t hen i can give u umpteen number of subjects where india can compete with. if u telling about F1 track, hell lot of fuel will be wasted on those f1 cars, which ultimately, u and me have to pay from our pocket, if eevry indian ready, then F1 track should be built at once.. just think sensible.. dont just post replies for sake of arguement

Same here.
1) Do you know what bringing an F1 track does on the economy side?
2) Are you aware of how many jobs it is going to generate directly and indirectly (it was estimated to be 1lakh, if i remember correctly when there were plans of setting up an F1 ckt in Hyderabad)?
3) Are you aware of the industries (especially the Automobile industry) that would come along with the F1 ckt?
4) Are you aware of the amount of taxes it would generate for the government?

one simple question to u , how will you run the car, by water?
there are lot of job opportunities in india, even now, but people here onl belive in white collar jobs, no one wants to be worker, everyone wants to be managers here.. have to change this attitude, people here only work for recognisation of their own and not for country. think from country's point of view buddy.

1) If we really have those many jobs, we would have been a developed nation by now.
2) Development should be in all the fields (by field, i mean Automobile field here).
3) Nobody really knows what kinds of jobs an F1 circuit would generate indirectly (Tourism, especially)
4) Even Aeroplanes consume lot of fuel (3000 litres for an Airbus, just for the Take-OFF). So, let's ban the Aeroplanes. One step ahead, lets ban Trains and Buses (you may be knowing that even they consume helluva lot of fuel).

Mr. Nilay

I agree that we should concentrate on basic things first and it means alround growth. F1 may not be a priority but it is not as if the Govt will be spending money on that or we will not be paying from our pockets..Nowhere in the world Govts are spending money on F1. If F1 comes to India, it will also bring a lot of revenue along with it. It will generate income opportunities and will generate employment opportunities.

i am not against bringing F1 to india. I myself watch F1 every fortnite. My point is just F1 is like luxury in Country like India. I would be the happiest indian to see F1 race in my own country, but not at this stage, where India is not ready. Just to share with u MR. P P .. india is flooded with malls, no doubt indian get job opportunities, but is there any job assurity. You cant predict that. F1 should come to India, when india is ready for it.

yeah agree with you.
For whom does it create job opportunities?? For skilled middle class people? When on the one hand the govt wants to bring f1 to the country on the other hand it creates quotas for OBCs etc. From where will you get skilled people to shine in this new exciting field, when talented people are made to go to second class instituitions??

Leap forward
by muzaffer ahmed on Apr 10, 2007 04:58 PM  | Hide replies

Each and every country has its problems, that shouldnt stop people to move ahead. we need not spend any money as its a street racing, but just imagine how much we are gonna gain, in terms of tourism, Hospitality industry and also give us another sports apart from cricket. If you dont have the basic infrastructure then how will you create world class drivers to compete in the F1.
Jai Hind.

No F1 track lay good roads
by Rajesh on Apr 10, 2007 04:55 PM  | Hide replies

Instead of F1 track they can lay good roads with my TAX money.

How many villages in India have good connecting roads? People should think before they start layin F1 circuit

i think the argument of having a F1 track is sound. We need to move ahead and create the infrastructure so that tourism and so many other sectors benefit.

Even the United States of America has people living on the streets. That does not mean that they do not build high end homes for their people.

We have to get away from the begging bowl mentality and forge ahead. India and Indians will benefit from these investments.

Cheers

by Sweet goldyyy on Apr 11, 2007 11:47 AM
Yup are absolutely right
Why dont we focus on another green revolution instead of this F1. How much revenue can this F1 generate. Why should we think of this hi fi sports without thinking about the basic needs of the people. How many jobs can this F1 generate. How much money can go into the pockets of big guys??????????
How much is it going to change the status of peoples lives.
Guys, plzzzzzzzzzzzzz think and you know what the answer would be

F1 has nothing to do with Farmers. Because of you people and your narrow thinking there are problems in progress of India. You give me answere if F1 not happens in India will farmers stop suicides ?

F1 is a really good project. It would generate jobs for lakhs of people. It would also bring a huge Automobile sector with it. Also, there would be very little investment from the govt side.

what a load of rubbish. Where do u think all my tax money have gone? For farmers welfare?? Then how come farmers are still committing suicide and living in abject poverty?
The biggest benefiiciaries will be the delhi politicians and the contractors.
