But here the situation is slightly different, the event is going to last for only 3 or 4 days in a year and not for the whole year.
By the way, the loudspeakers and the tamasha of the so called politicians and actvists protesting against sound pollution, will cause more pollution than the F1 cars!!

I think that in the foreseeable future, the cheapest alternative for indians to watch an F1 race live is to go to Sepang.
But Sepang track itself is reported to be in financial doldrums simply because it remains largely unused for a majority of the year and that is why I suggest a street circuit.
