New Delhi, (PTI): With the Spice Group eyeing a stake in Super Aguri F1 team, drivers Karun Chandhok and Armaan Ebrahim are enthused by the prospect of having a second Indian outfit on the 'Formula One' grid.

The country already made its presence felt on the F1 circuit after Vijay Mallya, along with the Mol family, bought Spyker and re-named it 'Force India'.

Now if Spice Group's negotiation with the cash-strapped Super Aguri falls in place, it would be a double delight for motor sport enthusiasts in the country.

Karun, a test-driver with Red Bull F1 team, is excited by the prospect, especially with the Spice Group insisting on having Narain Karthikeyan as their driver.

"It would be fantastic for motor sports in India. Though it's little premature to talk anything before the deal is actually inked, it's thrilling to imagine that out of the 11 F1 teams, two would be Indian," he told PTI here Thursday.

Karun himself is in Force India's radar and the Chennai driver is optimistic about his transition to F1 after a consistent GP2 series this year.

"With they (Spice) insisting on Narain, it would be great to see at least one Indian driver, if not two, on the F1 grid next year," said the driver.

Fellow driver, Armaan, too could not hide his glee with another Indian team likely to join Force India on the F1 circuit.

"It would definitely be a huge boost for all of us. The more Indian teams, the better," he said.
