Indian F1 race will it happen?
Discussion
Sounds like Jensen & Lewis might be racing elephants instead of F1 cars! Will they still have KERS? And will the DRS mean the elephant has a moveable flap on its backside? Actually I'd rather not think about that, not before tea anyway!

Over 300 Indian farmers have threatened to "dismantle" India's new F1 circuit, angry over the way in which their land was acquired for the track.
The farmers, whose lands were acquired for Jaypee's Formula One race-track, held a meeting at the Kanarsi village earlier this week to discuss to discuss their grievances.
According to the DNA India, the farmers, calling themselves the Bhartiya Kisan Union, drafted a letter to the Yamuna Expressway Authority demanding 'more money, reservations in educational institutions and the setting up of more industries to generate employment in the area.'
"We are warning you that if our demands are taken casually, we will be forced to launch an agitation," they said, adding that they will "dismantle the racing track with force if necessary."
The Indian GP is scheduled to take place on 30th October while FIA technical director Charlie Whiting will head to India on 31st August to conduct his track inspection of the new venue.

Odd that they wait until now to voice their grievances. Sounds like they are chancers out to make a quick buck to me, they could of wrecked the place numerous times long before now if thats what they really wanted to do.
Now time is running out they are hoping the track owner will pay up so everything goes ahead as planned.
