Karthikeyan bats for F1 track in Kerala

The Kerala government can consider opening a motor racing track in the state if it helped pull in tourists, Tourism Minister AP Anil Kumar said ahead of his meeting with F1 driver Narain Karthikeyan here yesterday. Karthikeyan affirmed the race track will help boost tourism. "Yes, Kerala is known as a tourist destination and hence a race track in the state will certainly boost tourism earnings," Karthikeyan told reporters here.
