ABOUT THE PROJECT

Jaypee race circuit — which will host India’s first ever F1 Grand Prix in 2011.
Situated on the
outskirts of New Delhi, near Greater Noida, the Jaypee racetrack will be a part of
Jaypee Sports City,
which is spread over 2,500 acres. This facility will include a Cricket stadium that
will have a seating
capacity of 100,000 people. There will also be a hockey arena, a sports training
academy and
infrastructure for other sports.

BIC has been designed as one of the fastest, most exciting motor racing circuits in
the world, is

well suited to the requirements of powerful, high-spec racing cars and motorcycles
and will

host some of the most challenging motorsports events on the planet. The track's
combination

of 16 corners, high-speed straights and dramatic changes in elevation has been

designed to
provide ample opportunities for overtaking, which is what makes motor racing
exciting. At the
same time, in terms of adherence to safety norms and regulations, run-off areas,
medical

facilities, facilities for the media and overall infrastructure, BIC will be among
the best in the

world.

2823'12"N In the early 1980s the Government of India realized that the rapid rate
at which

Delhi was expanding would result in chaos. So they planned to develop residential

and industrial areas around the capital to reduce the burden of rapid development

the

| border with Haryana) and Noida (across the border with Uttar Pradesh). As a
planned expansion, Noida's infrastructure and utilities was carefully laid out.
Noida
was developed to be able to accommodate population growth for 20-25 years. But,
with the massive influx to Delhi, it was overloaded in just 15 years.

TERMINOLOGIES RELATING FI

PITS

An area of track separated from the start/finish straight by a wall, where the
cars are brought for new tyres and fuel during the race, or for set-up
changes in practice, each stopping at their respective pit garages.

PIT STOP

Drivers get most of the attention, but Formula One racing remains a team
sport even during the race itself. The precisely timed, millimetre perfect
choreography of a modern pit stop is vital to help teams to turn their race
strategy into success - changing a car’s tyres, replacing damaged parts and
adjusting front wings in a matter of seconds.

PIT LANE

The pit-lane at every circuit is divided into two lanes. The lane closest to the
pit wall is known as the ‘fast lane’, whilst the lane closest to the garages is
the ‘inner lane.

The FIA allocates garages and an area in the ‘inner lane’ where the teams
may work, and within each space is one position - or pit box - where pit
stops may be carried out during practice sessions, qualifying and the race

COMMUNITY

SPECTATORS

Spectators are a crucial user group, not only providing the economical support but
the spiritual and
social cohesion that keeps these venues and franchises afoat. Seating is a vital
component to the
fan experience and is traditionally accommodated by reconciling comfort, safety,
robustness, and
economy. While still considering these factors, this project proposes a fifth
dimension, diversity.
Stadiums have always been places that shamelessly divide its spectators into
various class systems,
this project will attempt to capitalize on such diversities in the seating and
sight lines.

e General Seating

Brief: Provide seats or standing places for the spectators in a way that they have
a
clear and comfortable view of the event, yet give the spectators diverse and unique
perspectives within their different seating zones.

e Conclusion:

e The seatis no longer judged solely by its location in respect to the field but
its views

with respect to the city, variation in seating type, material, and fixation.
Spectators can become residents on non-event days

‘c’ Distance between top

of head and sight-line

SECTION SHOWING THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN SLOPE AND THE SPECTATOR EASE OF VIEW TO
THE EVENT

Private Viewing & Facilities

e Brief: These are unique spaces in stadiums defined by the standards of comfort
and
refreshments facilities, but restrained by the willingness or ability of people to
pay for the
benefts. Since the demand for these spaces varies from person to person the spaces

should be flexible, not just for interaction between the box and lounge, but for
interaction
between suite and stadium. Spaces include:

e Lounge area with self-contained bar and kitchen

e Box/platform for viewing
e Private restroom
e (Conclusion:
e Suites can also function as commercial space
e Hosting small conferences, meetings, and accommodating out of town guests
Tourists can rent a hotel and watch the event from their room

AMENITIES

OPERATIONS

By nature Grand Stand have a natural captive market, when people come to enjoy the
event there

are operational amenities to ensure spectators needs and wants. Conversely, when
stadiums are not
in operation these markets, jobs, and revenues are inexistent thus missing out on
additional economy.
How else can these support spaces be utilized and accommodate infuxes of people on
non-event

days?

Concessions

Brief: Concession stands shall be located at all concourse levels and appropriately
distributed along the concourse level.

Conclusion:

Restaurants, cafes, and bars will serve as the concessions

Run by local business owners/managers who share proft with the team on event days
Concessions remain open to the city throughout the week

Provide greater diversity and quality of food

Various types of concessions from quick-service outlets to sit-and-eat areas

e Watch the event, eat, and socialize

Ticket Sales Offices

Brief: Ticket offices should be evenly distributed around the site and clear to
crowds

leaving and approaching the stadium. The windows should be 30 feet away from entry

gates so that circulation is not obstructed.

Conclusion:

e Ticket offces typically remain open throughout the week for sales but can act as
general information hubs for the venue throughout the week.

Souvenir Shops

Brief: These retail outlets are meant to provide visitors with the opportunity to
take a

memento to commemorate the event, however these spaces also contribute to the

fnancial viability of the stadium.

Conclusion:
Integrated with other types of retail shops and stores

Provide an enticing variety of retail outlets that can function independently of

the
stadium's events.

Grand Prix Museum

Brief: Museums are an additional program that can supplement the visitation of the

stadium. Can showcase photographs, trophies, awards, records, and memorabilia to

tell

the story of the sports franchise.

Conclusion:

Provide temporary and rotating exhibitions of other cultures that appeal to a wider
spectrum of people.

Local Art, History of Houston, Exhibits for children, etc.

Restrooms

Brief: Toilet rooms shall be provided for men and women at every concourse level
and
appropriately distributed. The ratio of spectators to fixtures shall be based on
50% male
and 50% female attendance. Fixtures shall be provided based on the following
ratios:
e Male (12 restrooms)

e 1 urinal per 100 men = 100 urinals

e 1WCper500men=20WCs

e 1 sinkper 300 men = 35 sinks

e Female (12 restrooms)

e 1WCper90 women=110 WCs

e 1 sink per 200 women = 50 sinks

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT

Facilities for the media are an integral part of the stadium, allowing the press to
provide information to

the public through various mediums. Coverage of sports has expanded tremendously
over the past 20

years through radio, television, newspapers, and the Internet to become a much
larger portion of human

culture. With rapid changes in technology and an increasing interest in media

coverage, these spaces
should be flexible to members of the media and accessible to the people that they
serve as well.

e The Press Facility

e Brief: It's important to group these facilities near the participants for ease of
communication between the two groups
e (Conclusion:

These highly equipped and technical spaces can act as media galleries, cinemas,
and recording studios for the public during non-event days

SILVERSTONE GRAND PRIX CIRCUIT

Like many UK historic tracks, Silverstone was built on the site of an old RAF
airfield with the
original circuit making use of the three runways in a triangle formation, so common
to World
War Two airfields.

The first race at the circuit is reported to have taken place in September 1947
between local
resident Maurice Geoghegan and 11 friends who raced on a two-mile ad-hoc circuit.
The race
was plagued by sheep wandering onto the circuit; the event was nicknamed the
‘Mutton Grand
Prix’ after Geoghegan hit one of the unfortunate creatures, signalling the end for
both car and
sheep.

The following year the Royal Automobile Club (RAC) took a lease on the airfield and
set out a
more formal circuit marked by hay bales. The layout still retained use of the
original runways
and led to a circuit consisting of long straights joined by hairpin corners. In
1949 the layout
was revised to use the perimeter track and this layout formed the circuit for the
first Grand
Prix held there in 1950.

In the presence of King George VI, the race was won by Nino Farino in his Alfa
Romeo, finishing
two laps ahead of team-mate Luigi Faglioli. The start-line was moved from Farm
straight to the
current location for the 1952 Grand Prix and the layout remained largely unaltered
for the next
35 years. The circuit continued to host grand

YAS MARINA CIRCUIT, ABU DHABI

The circuit was designed by Hermann Tilke,and is situated on Yas Island, about 30
minutes from the

capital of the UAE, Abu Dhabi. A 10-lane highway connects the airport, Yas Island,
Saadiyat Island,
and Abu Dhabi city center.

Away from the track - a kilometre long drag strip - has been completed by the north
grandstand. A
go kart track in the shape of a complex figure-of-eight has been constructed - to
act as a testing
ground for local young driving talent, who will access the circuit's driving
academy.

In addition, spectacular stadium sections of track bring spectators very close to

the action,
delivering a unique electrifying experience. The architecture of the team buildings
around the track
will take their cue from a reinvention of local vernacular themes from the Emirates
adding a stark

contrast to the adjacent sleek modern forms of the Marina Hotel and Benoy's Ferrari
World Abu
Dhabi.

RACE TRACK

The track can accommodate the full spectrum of

racing formats, right up to Formula 1. It is 2 =r tay

divided into two key sections — a permanent om |
track, for ‘everyday’ events, and an extended
street circuit looping around a spectacular
marina to take the circuit length up to F1
requirements.

The venue is overlooked by a hotel and

residential development as well as iconic
grandstands and corporate lounges. A full range
of pit, paddock lounges and team facilities,
uniquely arranged along the marina waterfront
brands the Abu Dhabi circuit as a very distinctive
place in the world of motor racing.
