Two further Grand Prix races were held at BIC in 2012 and 2013, however further preparations for hosting Grand Prix were stopped owing to issues with government officials. The total length of the race course is 5.125 kilometers, spanning a surface of 874 acres. It is designed to put both driver talent and vehicle capability to the test, with 16 twists and a straight stretch of 1.06 km.

The track has both CIK and FIA certifications, and it has hosted national-level events for motorcycles and automobiles, as well as karting championships & Formula 3 races. Roughly 1.5 lakh /per day is what we've heard it costs to hire the track. It is recommended to hire the track in advance due to the high volume of activities held there.
