NEW DELHI (AP) - The organizers of the Indian Grand Prix say they are open to switching dates for the race, amid speculation that it could be scrapped from the Formula One calendar all together next season.
Sameer Gaur, the chief executive of Jaypee Sports International Limited, said in a statement Tuesday that the current October-November period suits India better both "weather-wise as well as it being the festive season," they are willing to host the race in March if F1 bosses wanted to move it.
Gaur was responding to media reports that the fourth edition of the Indian Grand Prix was likely to be scrapped in 2014 and the race could be shifted to March in 2015 and 2016 as part of a five-year contract.
This year s race is scheduled for Oct. 27 at the Buddha International Circuit in Greater Noida near New Delhi.
