It has been announced that India will host its first Formula One Grand Prix in 2010.
The city of New Delhi will be bracing itself for a massive influx of visitors in a few years' time following the announcement that it will host India's first ever Formula One Grand Prix in 2010.
Formula One boss Bernie Ecclestone confirmed this week that, after much speculation, a contract had been signed with JPSK Sports Ltd to stage the event.
Mr Ecclestone said that the arrival of Formula One in India could lead to a massive boost in the popularity of the sport.
"India has always been known for its love of cricket, but F1 has been growing hugely in popularity in recent years as the viewing figures would suggest," he said.
"Now with Vijay Mallya's team, Force India, and the news that Karun Chandhok could soon be driving in F1, the announcement of the future Grand Prix in India will spark an explosion of further interest to rival that of the traditional sport."
New Delhi is the capital city of India and is situated in the far north of the country.
India is the world's second most populous nation, after China, with over a billion people living within its borders.
