Putting the new spunky Škoda Slavia to test on the Buddh Int'l Circuit
OR any petrolhead, burning rubber on the Buddh International Circuit near Delhi is the stuff of joie de vivre. I recently had the exhilarating opportunity to experience just that, thanks to Škoda. Let me take you through the thrills of a day spent behind the wheel of the Slavia Monte Carlo edition.
Why the Buddh International Circuit?
The Buddh International Circuit (BIC), is India's premier motor racing circuit, located in Greater Noida, Uttar Pradesh. Named after Gautama Buddha, the track spans 5.125 km and was inaugurated on October 18, 2011. Most famously, it hosted the Formula One Indian Grand Prix from 2011 to 2014. Nowadays, car manufacturers host track days at BIC, offering enthusiasts a chance to push their vehicles to the limit in a safe, controlled environment. These events allow drivers to fully experience a car's acceleration, handling, and braking capabilities that simply can't be explored on public roads.
What's the Monte Carlo buzz?
