New Delhi: The multi taxation issues have to be sorted out for the Indian GP to return, said Vicky Chandhok.
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 2011, said Ecclestone would be happy to return provided the pending tax case in the Bombay High Court is decided in their favour. “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,” Chandhok said. “The meeting which overall had a positive feel to it. We just wanted to check if the appetite for India is still there or if they have moved on to other countries.
“The good news is that Bernie and CVC are still keen to come to India but they are not happy about the pending tax,” said Karun Chandok.
