Is this Mimi? Do you ever go to Kim & Johnson’s in Seoul?
We are going down to Mokpo the weekend of the 21st to check it out. I’d love to be able to get on-site to look at specifics for Keith. Do the organizers have any plans to make the English on the official website work?

Hello Robert!

Actually, I was the proofreader for the above article and I admit that information is definitely lacking and there is a HUGE focus on facilites (there usually is here, it seems).

After reading your post, I talked to my boss about the need for information and apparently, the information is forthcoming (which is not entirely helpful when trying to plan such a large trip, I realize).

I ask all of you that are interested to directly email the KTO (Korean Tourism Organization) at visitkorea.or.kr. The more people voice what kind of information they need, the better chance we have of people listening! Cheers~

Do you have ANY info in English on the race? I live in Korea, and I haven’t seen or heard anything.
The Korean F1 site can be used if you have google toolbar and use their “translate page” button. It’s not 100% accurate, but you’ll get the jist of what they have…

No it’s definitely still on the calendar.

Here’s the first rreal “info” I’ve found in English about the race. It’s on a blog here called “Korea LIFE’s”

http://www.korealifes.com/

It has some good info. I’m just amazed that the local government hasn’t done ANYTHING yet in English. The only mention I’ve seen of the race is on a new (lousy) racing channel on Skylife satellite t.v. (ch. 516).

Did I see somewhere recently that the Korean Grand Prix wasn’t on a list of 2010 races on a preliminary calendar?

They just reported that they had a successful ‘test’ at the track in Korea. Couldn’t find any info anywhere other than what I saw on the ‘ticker’ at the bottom of the tv screen while I was watching racing on a Korean channel.
The official website has some more current pictures showing a lot more has been completed, but still nothing in English or Japanese.
I’m hopeful but….

I wouldn’t be surprised if they screwed up. No one reads the rules here…or obeys them.

I think the track looks good but a little flat!

Probably never. There’s been very little in Korean about this event. As Maxwell Smart would say; “Missed it by that much…” This seems to be the norm in Korea. They almost get it right, but miss the finer, yet important, bits.
Example – new four-lane highway to Incheon Airport, yet there are only two speed cameras and sensors. It makes me wonder what they are thinking, or if they are thinking…
