Dead call halt to GP?

Dead call halt to GP?

Construction plans for the mooted 2011 Indian Grand Prix at a site near Delhi, are on hold following the discovery that a cemetery lies where the planned pitlane and paddock will be.

According to Indian law, the stiff’s can only be… moved if the local villagers agree and as none of them are too fussed about having F1 cars blast past their houses, they are refusing to concede.

However organisers think they have found a way to keep all sides happy, by employing the dead to work on race weekends. Local witch-doctor Bhani Shamaputra aims to raise the dead and have them working on burger stalls and merchandise stands.

Said Bhani, “Everybody wins, the race can go ahead and the dead will get something to do plus all the extra staff will mean queuing to be served will be a thing of the past.”
