bigjae1976 · 03-08-2010, 03:34 PM

Is this for real? F1 was supposed to be here like 4 years ago? Need details.

ProchaineStation · 03-08-2010, 08:25 PM

It's soo weird when its allover the news in Canada but you guys don't know any details...??

bigjae1976 · 03-09-2010, 12:56 AM

They say a lot of stuff is going to happen here. I'll believe it when I see it. If you've been to Korea, you'd understand that there is almost no place to put a huge race track.

I heard they were building an F1 track, not sure where.

5 years ago or so, they had already built a track in Ansan, had F1 agree to come here. Then the mayor decided they wanted to do something else with it. Typical Korea.

bigjae1976 · 03-12-2010, 10:28 PM

Yeah, I've seen this. Is it near Seoul?

Is the track near the Han river?

bigjae1976 · 04-03-2010, 07:00 PM

Right now, tickets are $450 each...day. There's 3 days.

maverick7676 · 04-03-2010, 08:09 PM

James, if you buy the entire 3 days pass, it will be a little over $1,000.
