Go speed racer, go
 

We are standing on hallowed ground. A place where champions have raced and history has been made. And history is about to be made again. No roadgoing car in production has ever lapped under the 2min mark and that's what the target is. Welcome to India's Buddh International Circuit, or BIC as we know it. This 5.125km track is the pinnacle of motorsport and speed. Setting a lap record here guarantees both man and machine the ultimate bragging rights.
