London, Jul 30 (PTI) Timely payments, proper planning and upholding the operational standards of Formula E are among the non-negotiables that Hyderabad promoters will have to deliver if the fully-electric racing championship is to return to India next year, series co-founder Alberto Longo told PTI.
Longo does not want to sound rude while talking about Hyderabad’s Formula E debut earlier this year but he needs to say a few things bluntly. The race faces an uncertain future after not being included in the provisional calendar for next season. Longo hinted timely payments by promotors — Greenko — was an issue even as he praised the support provided by the Telangana state government. IT and Industries Minister K T Rama Rao played a key role in bringing Formula E to India. “The truth is that we are in talks with minister KTR and his team, and the promoter. We had some challenges in the past and I’m sure it will be solved but until everything is solved and sorted out obviously we cannot announce the city but we’re really willing to go back to India,” Longo told
