SYDNEY: Australia’s V8 Supercars series is in talks to follow Formula One by taking its brand of touring car racing to India from next year, said a government trade official.

The Indian Grand Prix will take place at a purpose-built circuit outside New Delhi and V8 officials are hoping to stage a race there and another on a street circuit in Chennai.

Peter Linford, Australia’s senior trade commissioner in New Delhi, said the first step would be to get an Indian driver and Indian team racing in the series.
