Formula 1 - Korean GP under threat....

[Tony Holder]

The Korean Grand Prix racked up substantial operating losses last month, the third year running it has finished in the red, potentially threatening its place on Formula One's calendar.
The South Korea race, first run in 2010, returned operating losses of 39.4 billion won (£23 million), race organisers said.
One of nine Asian races on the 20-stop 2012 Formula One calendar, including the Asia-Pacific Australian Grand Prix, the South Korean event also lost an estimated £30m-plus in its first year.

Hopefully it stays, i just love the three different sectors which forces teams to sacrifice one or two of them.

 

[Kennett Ylitalo]

I like Korea GP too, very nice layout.

For me is on my black list, togheter with Shangai, Abu Dhabi, Singapore, Hungaroring and Valencia. I wont miss them in F1 if they leave.

LOVE Hungaroring, one of the last "real" F1 tracks, with that club feel that just feels right.

F1 going there instead of going to a proper track like Istanbul!

 

[Jax Humanhater]

It's like Turkey, there are hardly any fans.

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

Yeah Istanbul is awesome. I won't miss Korea if they return to Turkey

I don't mind that that turks fully ignore their GP as I am not watching F1 on TV for the spectators but the race. And the triple left corner is one of the coolest corners in F1.

Magny-Course instead of Korea is also fine

 

[Kartik Sri Harsha]

Korea is good track due to their Different Sectors but if it was going to be scrapped i would like to see any one of these
1. Imola
2. Magny-Course
3. Mugello
