Seems like there will be only 230 Indian marshals and 110 Bahraini ones.

Bahraini marshals to work at Indian GP
The Federation of Motor Sports Clubs of India (FMSCI) has revealed that, for the country’s maiden Formula 1 Grand Prix this October, some 110 Bahraini race marshals will be recruited in order to sustain that the event runs smoothly.

On the 20-race calendar of 2011, India and the Greater Noida-based venue falls into the crucial final trio of events, sandwiched between Korea and Abu Dhabi.

“We've reached an agreement with the Bahrain Motor Federation and 110 experienced marshals will be on duty during the Indian GP,” FMSCI President Vicky Chandhok, father of ex Hispania racer Karun, explained to the Hindustan Times.

“In addition to that, we will have 230 marshals from India to shadow the Bahraini officials.”

Lets see how many of the 230 are BHPians

Saw the photos...I don't know if those are 1st february photos or 2nd January Photos.
Can the construction be completed??? I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
When is the FIA coming and inspecting this track to check for feasibility?
