The anticipation is building among motorsport enthusiasts worldwide as they count down the last 10 days before history may potentially be rewritten at MotoGPTM Bharat, hosted at the well-known Buddh International Circuit in Greater Noida from September 22nd to 24th.

The race is set to break the highest recorded speed in motorsport history.This is the first time that the Buddh International Circuit has been approved for motorcycle racing. Brad Binder from Red Bull KTM has set a record speed of 366.1 km/hr this year.

India is hopeful to breach this record, aspiring to achieve speeds around 370 km/hr. This ambition is fueled by the circuit's lengthy straight back, spanning 1006 meters, which is segmented into two parts. The first downhill segment will afford riders optimal acceleration, while the uphill part will facilitate late braking, thereby sustaining top speed.

Commenting on the groundbreaking development, Amit Sandill, Director Racing, Fairstreet Sports, said, "MotoGPTM Bharat is poised to redefine speed in the world of motorcycle racing. The Buddh International Circuit has undergone remarkable modifications, and it will be breathtaking to see the riders achieve mindboggling speeds."

The parabola or the stadium section on turn 9 and 10, is the perfect camber for riders to slingshot out of the turns and permits them to push their bikes to the limit. The track's surface gives exceptional grip to the tires, offering riders complete control over their machines. Meanwhile, safety measures have been bolstered with the installation of 1800 metres of new safety barricading.

Carlos Ezpeleta, Chief Sporting Officer of Dorna Sports, added, "The changes made to the Buddh International Circuit are truly remarkable. This track now stands witness to India's commitment to hosting world-class motorsport events. We believe the circuit has the potential to register speed that could rewrite the MotoGPTM record books."

With a track that is flowing, fast, and includes 13 challenging turns (8 right and 5 left), MotoGPTM Bharat promises to be a landmark event in the world of motorsport.
