Buddh International Circuit, Motorsport racing track in Greater Noida, India

The Buddh International Circuit extends over 5.14 kilometers with 16 turns and incorporates notable elevation changes throughout its layout in Uttar Pradesh. The racing facility combines fast straights with technically demanding corner sequences that challenge different vehicle types.

The venue opened in 2011 and hosted the Formula One Indian Grand Prix until 2013, when tax disputes with regional authorities led to its removal from the calendar. Since then, occasional national and international motorsport events have taken place here.

The facility takes its name from Gautama Buddha, reflecting the spiritual heritage of the Gautam Buddh Nagar district where it stands. This naming connects modern racing technology with the region's long religious tradition.

The circuit has over 150,000 seats and sits within a larger sports complex in Greater Noida. The track was built on gently undulating ground, which drivers call a roller-coaster ride. Concrete run-off barriers stand higher than on car-only circuits because motorcycle races are also held here, raising the risk of contact for single-seaters.
