The Indian government is working to bring back a Formula 1 race at the Buddh International Circuit after more than 10 years. Officials are trying to fix tax and rule problems that led to the Indian Grand Prix ending in 2013. Authorities earlier treated the race as entertainment, not sport, which raised costs through heavy taxes and duties. Sources said ministries are now reviewing these rules and speaking with Formula 1 officials. The race ran from 2011 to 2013 and drew large crowds. No return date is confirmed yet. India must still compete with other countries for a slot on the packed F1 calendar. (PC: India Today)
