Formula 1 racing has recently gained significant popularity in India, with the Indian Grand Prix being held at the Buddh International Circuit from 2011 to 2013. While F1 itself is an international sport, several Indian products and brands have become associated with the racing scene.
One notable Indian product is the Tata Nano, which although not a racing car, represents Indian automotive innovation. Another significant contribution comes from Indian IT companies like Infosys and TCS that provide technological solutions to various F1 teams, helping with data analysis and performance optimization.
Indian lubricant company Gulf Oil has been a partner in MotoGP and extends its expertise to automotive sports. Additionally, Indian tire manufacturer MRF has been involved in motorsports through its racing tires used in various national and international events.
The recent interest in F1 has also boosted sales of racing merchandise and simulation equipment in India, with local manufacturers producing affordable racing gear and accessories for enthusiasts. |
