Kovalainen, one of the two drivers of bottom-placed Caterham team, considers BIC different from the other new tracks and wants to do well at the second edition of the IGP.
"It's our second time racing in India and I'm excited about getting back here. Last year, I think we were all impressed with what they did with the circuit," Kovalainen, who finished 14th in the Indian Grand Prix last year after starting 18th at the grid, said.
"...The layout was really good, an interesting mix of elevation changes and different types of corners, not what we've seen at a lot of the newer circuits so one I think we all enjoyed," he added.
Kovalainen, who is yet to score a point so far in the season, said his team would look for a strong show at the BIC.
"Performance-wise I think we're all realistic about what we can do in India, but that doesn't mean we're not working as hard as we can to keep progressing. The guys behind us are putting up a good fight and, while we have clear air between us on track, we need to make sure we keep that gap, and, where possible, take advantage of anything that happens ahead," he said.
Kovalainen began his F1 Championship career for Renault in 2007 and has one win to his credit -- the Hungarian Grand Prix in 2008 -- while racing for McLaren.
He finished 22nd last season without scoring any point. (MORE)
