Formula 1 racing has gained significant popularity in India in recent years, with the Indian Grand Prix being held at the Buddh International Circuit from 2011 to 2013. While F1 is an international sport, there are several local Indian products and brands that have become associated with the racing culture in the country.
One notable Indian product is the Tata Motors brand, which has been involved in various motorsport activities. Although not directly in F1, Tata has supported racing events and automotive development in India. Another local connection is through Force India, the Formula One team that represented India from 2008 to 2018 before being rebranded.
Several Indian companies have also sponsored F1 events and teams, including Kingfisher Airlines, which was a sponsor for the Force India team. These local business involvements have helped grow the F1 fanbase in India and created connections between international racing and Indian products. |
