The track is the brainchild of Hyderabad-based entrepreneur Nishant Saboo. Let's talk about the name, the circuit gets its name to his newly possessed Ferrari 488 Pista. However, the word 'Pista' means racetrack in Italian. The racetrack is being made in three phases. Phase 1 will begin by the end of this year and will include developing a drag strip that will be ready to use by around the second quarter of 2021.

Phase 2 will be the race track, which will be a 2.3 km long circuit which will be completed sometime by the mid of 2022. The final phase 3 will be 3.708 km long and will be an extended version of the racetrack and will be completed by mid-2023. After the entire circuit is completed, it will have 16 corners while there will be 50 to 100 metres of run-off area for high-speed runs. There will also be a steering pad at about 145 feet in diameter and a 150-metre long pit lane.
