Welcome back, Girish. Yes, I had a whale of a time at Indian GP. You can read the final report in Post #44 of this thread.
Congrats, Please share your experiences as well.
You are absolutely spot on. Dust was indeed a big issue but it can be overlooked once, considering that area is still under development. So I’m sure in some time there will be a much lively atmosphere around with greenery. As far as traffic jams are concerned, it was quite obvious on the final day of Grand Prix. However, more than that, I am disappointed with their circuit shuttle service. Especially during evening, it was pathetic to say the least. First, there seems to be limited number of buses which never arrived on time, and even if they did, they were fully packed with people. The scenario was such that public was travelling on their roof. It was literally like a scene of some rural area. Secondly, the bus drivers were so ignorant that they never cared to stopped the bus for passengers standing on shuttle stands in spite when the buses were empty. We had to travel a few kilometres inside the circuit campus itself and united other people who were also struggling to find the bus, and finally everyone insisted one of the oncoming bus’ driver to stop and take us to the destination. Had it not been done, the drivers were simply making excuses to catch different bus from one stand or another.
No, I didn't buy anything.
Only on the screen.
Yes, that is indeed true. Pictures don't do the justice.
Check this one out (attached below), I find it best of all.
There are a couple of people I know outside our forum who were on the duty of Track Marshal. Being one itself is a different experience altogether.

The in depth coverage is truly inspiring. You must have had a brilliant time at the Grand Prix. Do share personal highlights, if any.
What a great weekend was an awesome experience to watch the race and those rumbling engines should be heard live to experience the thrill full of adrenaline and excitement At last India is now on the global motorsport map which is a proud moment for us.
But i would also like to highlight the pain the common man had to went through due to mismanagement on part of jaypee group. All the roads towards Noida were choc-a-bloc. Then there was 20km traffic jam on the expressway towards the track then traffic was stopped at the entry point due to some stupid vip movement . Those traffic marshal were very lucky that they were not trashed by the people imagine a person who has spend couple of thousand for a ticket and not allowed to enter.
Also dust was a major issue near the stands and food outlets it was total unhygienic situation. Jaypee should have predetermined the rush and should have arranged alternate routes to the track
I took me 4 hours to reach the track 2.5 hrs wasted in traffic was able to see only 18 laps , some people were not even so lucky ( they saw only 5-10 laps) and were really angry.

First Indian F1 G.P. was indeed a great success.
The official merchandise is all very attractive. Did you buy anything?

Not being in the Main Stand, were you able to catch the award ceremony on the podium?
Simply amazing pics! I am sure, watching it live must have been much more exciting than what these pics show.
Thanks for sharing the experience Vibhor. I can see few shots of the Scorpio for the contest.
I was planning to apply for being a marshal but dropped out since it was during Diwali & the expenses were to be borne by the candidates. Is there anybody on our forum who was a marshal at the race?
