Chandhok Says Taxation Issues Need To Be Solved For Indian F1 Grand Prix To Return

Vicky Chandhok said that the multi-taxation issues "have to be sorted out for the Indian Grand Prix to return," according to the PTI. Chandhok, a former FMSCI president who worked with both Formula One Management and promoters Jaypee Group in getting the high-profile race to India in '11, said that F1 CEO Bernie Ecclestone "would be happy to return provided the pending tax case in the Bombay High Court is decided in their favour." He said, "It was nice to meet Bernie again and he is happy to come back to India and race promoters Jaypee too want F1 to return. Hopefully the taxation issues case will be in our favour and with the central government's positive outlook, I do feel we will be able to get the various ministries' support. With the global following the sport has, it is certainly positive for India if the race happens again." Though Chandhok "hoped for an early closure of the case, it could take a lot longer than expected" (PTI, 7/6).
