The circuit covers 3.192 miles, and includes 16 turns with some noticeable changes in elevation and was designed with feedback from drivers and teams alike, which resulted in the removal of a planned hairpin and the widening of the layout at Turn 3 to allow different lines to be taken in a bid to improve overtaking opportunities.
One of the outstanding features of layout is the banked multi-apex turn 10–11–12 sequence, which has drawn comparison with another Tilke-creation, the fast Turn 8 at Istanbul Park and unlike it’s Turkish forebear, the Buddh complex runs in a clockwise direction and tightens on exit.

Notably, this marks a significant moment for India as it hosts a motor racing spectacle of this scale for the first time since the 2013 Formula 1 Indian Grand Prix, which was removed from the calendar due to various financial, taxation, and bureaucratic issues, as reported by PTI. The support of the Uttar Pradesh government is pivotal for the event’s long-term sustainability in a country that boasts the world’s largest two-wheeler market.
To accommodate two-wheel racing, the track, previously used for Formula 1 races between 2011 and 2013, has undergone modifications. These enhancements include extending the gravel traps along the track to enhance rider safety in case they veer off-course. Additionally, the installation of air fences and foam barriers further ensures the safety of the competing riders.
