In India, the motorsport scene has been growing steadily with increasing interest in racing competitions. While Formula 1 （F1） is the pinnacle of motorsport with global recognition, Formula 2 （F2） serves as an important feeder series that helps develop young Indian racing talent.
Several Indian companies have shown interest in sponsoring racing events. Local automotive brands like Tata Motors and Mahindra have been involved in various racing initiatives. Mahindra Racing, for instance, has participated in the Formula E championship, showcasing Indian engineering capabilities on an international platform.
The Indian Grand Prix held at the Buddh International Circuit between 2011 and 2013 brought F1 racing directly to Indian fans. Although the event is currently on hiatus, it demonstrated the potential for motorsport growth in the country. Local racing enthusiasts continue to follow both F1 and F2 championships through television broadcasts and digital platforms.
Indian companies have also been developing automotive components that meet the high standards required for professional racing. Several manufacturing units in automotive hubs like Chennai and Pune produce precision parts that could potentially be used in racing vehicles. |
