Korean International Circuit

The Korean International Circuit is a racetrack being made in Yeongam County, South Jeolla Province, of South Korea. This track will be 5.684km long. This will be the longest track in Asia. The main purpose of this track is the F1 Challenge which will be held for 7 years from 2010. It will also be used for local races.

Track features

German designer Hermann Tilke designed the track. The track has two parts. One permanent part(3.047km) will be used for local races. One temporary part(2.643km) will be joined to the permanent part and be used for F1 races. The track has 19 corners and the first 3 corners are hoped to have lots of overtaking. They are located right after the high-speed sections. The 17th corner is the fastest corner with a 130 meter radius.

Buildings

The grand stand will be able to hold 15,000 people. It has 8 columns, for the 8 cylinders of F1 engines, and the beacon mound which was the fastest communication method. The Race control building and Team buildings are planned in the same style as the grand stand. The buildings will fit in well together. There is a Pit and Paddock for both parts of the track, so F1 teams will be using their own. There is also a marina along the 17th corner so some people will be able to see the races from their boats.

2012년에는 나름 괜찮아졌습니다. 화장실많고 귀마개도 팝니다 (잡상인) . 다만 길 포장이 아직 안되어 있고 서킷 외부통로가 부실합니다. 화장실은 여자화장실만 헬입니다.

경기 후 타 석으로 그랜드스텐드석 쪽 입장 가능하였습니다. 기념품도 겨우 샀구요. 다른 석 시설은 정말 미약합다. 그냥 대충 구색만 맞춘듯. 바람이 제법세고 먼지도 많으니 민감하신분들은 마스크지참하세요.
