The Challenge:

  • To build one of the most challenging racing circuits in the world.
  • To complete the track before the inaugural Indian Grand Prix.

 

The Solution:

When it comes to the world of racing, the faster you are the better and the more challenging the circuit the more the drive to conquer it. The original design was revised several times based on feedback from the teams on how it could be altered to improve overtaking.

To finish the job on time, the design team, engineers and of course the equipment had to work together flawlessly. Backing the team were 4 Putzmeister boom pumps including the BSF 36.09 and BSF 42.09. They were more than up to the task and dutifully met every demand including working 24 hours straight to ensure that this project crossed the finish line in time.

Concrete Takeaways

  • The circuit covers an area of 875 acres and the 5.14km (5621.17yd) track includes 16 turns and elevations.
  • The circuit’s main straight is 1.06km (1,159.23yd) is among the longest in F1 racing. It also boasts of the longest F1 pit lane.
