Court battle for F1 circuit takes twist after $4 billion acquisition rejected
An Indian court has rejected Vedanta’s plea to halt the acquisition of a bankrupt real estate giant by Adani group, which includes $4 billion worth of assets and India’s F1 track, the Buddh International Circuit. Sebastian Vettel and Red Bull won all three races at the track, which was dropped from the calendar due to a tax dispute with the government. Despite Vedanta’s challenge in the Supreme Court being rejected, Gautam Adani’s group will receive the assets, including homes, power plants, cement plants, and the F1 track near New Delhi. Karan Adani aims to bring Formula 1 back to India, while Sports Minister Mansukh Mandaviya states that an F1 race will be held at Buddh International Circuit in 2027. However, it is unlikely due to the challenges in organizing such an event at the track on short notice.
