South Korea and it's F1 Circuit

Are you a fan of F1?

Now looks like South Korea also do not want to miss out on the fun of F1 and is preparing their F1 Circuit which is said to be completed around next week to debut it's first race called "Circuit Run 2010" for both cars and motorcycles. One of the racers will be a Red Bull representative, an Indian driver; Mr. Karun Chandhok to warm up with the Three Prix before the circuit will be fully opened for the Grand Prix on 24th October, 2010. The circuit is 90% completed right now and will be used for the first time when South Korea hosts the Grand Prix next month.

This circuit is created by a German architect, Hermann Tilke and is located in Yeongam, South Jeolla. The creation of the circuit is priced at $264 million (250 billion won), a deal between Bernie Ecclestone and the Korean F1 promoter Korea Auto Valley Operation (or KAVO, which is a joint venture between M-Bridge Holdings and Jeollanam). Judging from the shape of the track, this must be quite tough. Although there's a few who were unconvinced that the circuit will be ready by next week, what we can do now is just wait and see.

One of the prominent difference for next week's Korea Super Prix is the introduction of a different engine type which is not the usual V8 that is powered by RB6. One of the sponsors of vehicles in this Grand Prix is the giant company LG - originates from South Korea. LG have confirmed that the old engine is out and they will be using cars running on V10 engine instead. I just hope to see how the South Korea F1 will turn out soon!

P/S : For FCC members and all First Commenter, due to the fact that I had only joined FCC mid August, I did not put up the FC ScoreBoard for the month of August. But starting this month onwards, I will be putting the FCSB to key in your points. The TOP Commenter at the end of each month will get a place at my sidebar for 30 days. So don't be late and sorry.
