Indian GP race schedule announced

The 2012 Indian GP scheduled at the Buddh International Circuit from October 26-28 is slated to be an action-packed weekend thanks to the myriad of on and off track events.

On Friday, October 26th, the first on-track session will see the JK Racing Asia series take to the 5.14-km circuit in the early hours followed by the first 90-minute F1 practice session at 10am.

Before the second F1 practice session scheduled at 2pm, the spectators will get a chance to see the new MRF F2000 cars in action at 12.30pm, with several Indian and international drivers behind the wheel.
