Latest photos from the Buddh International Circuit ahead of MotoGP Bharat. Track still hasn’t been homologated and apparently riders are nervous racing there.
As someone randomly seeing this, and assuming others may, too. Today I learned.
According to Wikipedia:
In motorsports, homologation is the type approval process through which a vehicle, a race track, or a standardised part is required to go for certification to race in a given league or series. The process of testing and certification for conformance to technical standards is usually known as type approval in English-language jurisdictions. The regulations and rules that must be met are generally set by the series's sanctioning body.[1] The word is derived from Greek ὁμολογέω, homologeo, 'I agree'.
