To WION Video Editor, The reporter at the end was very engaging. You shamed him by cutting him off. Btw, Thanks for covering this topic !!

[@jiayulansari70]

I hope next Max comes from our India .

[@saimadhavarao]

Actually not surprised because Madras/Chennai already had a very strong presence with Motor racing circuits so this was more expected. But i believe Karun Chandok is involved with another racetrack in Nanoli, Pune.

Great great .. great .. its never late .. And how mannerly the news presenter have dressed up .. Overall it's an amazing vibe here

[@CarsWatches]

The reporter Siddharth had good subject and was giving good info.. cutting him off is lame.

[@nh54guesthouse]

Congrats Chennai ....great fun, family friends outings opportunities for business, support industry, competition, advertising revenue, prizes & employment. We badly need more such projects in our States, motor bike racing in Punjab or Farm Tractors give the kissan something challenging to do instead of striking everywhere...... *Any Indian can equal or challenge Valentino Rossi ?
