About the project

Driven were proud to receive positive feedback on the design and layout of the new 18 turn circuit, which weaves its way through the NTR Gardens and along the banks of the Hussain Sagar Lake.

Cars took to the track for the first time in November 2022 for the Indian Racing League, held under FMSCI national event regulations, before hosting the FIA Formula E World Championship in February 2023 with the series’ first ever visit to India. Jean-Eric Vergne won a thrilling race packed with action and overtaking.

“I think it’s great, really exciting. Sector 2 is really cool because it’s a very flowing, fast section, and we should reach our highest ever top speed here.”

In-house animation

Ahead of the race, Driven were commissioned by the circuit to create a full 3D animation of the venue along with an on-board lap, to build the anticipation and hype around the historic event.
