Introduction
The Formula One (F1) Korean Grand Prix will return to the Korea International Circuit (KIC) in Yeongam, Jeollanam-do Province on October 12th through 14th. Autumn foliage and the serene Yeongamho Lake in the surroundings of the KIC will certainly provide a scenic backdrop. Don’t miss the thrilling auto races at the 2012 F1 Korean Grand Prix!

Yeongam is home to a number of cultural and natural attractions, including Wolchulsan National Park, the Historical Site of Dr. Wangin (Baekje Dynasty scholar), Gurim Maeul (2,200-year-old village), Dogapsa Temple on Wolchulsan Mountain, and a pottery museum. Furthermore, other major cities in Jeollanam-do Province such as Mokpo, Jindo, Suncheon, Boseong, and Gwangju are located within one to three hours by car from Yeongnam.

About the Circuit

1. Longest Straightaway
The KIC is comprised of two sections: a temporary street circuit used for major races like the Grand Prix, and a 3.045km permanent track, which is open all year round. It also features Asia’s longest straightaway, on which an F1 simulator recently reached top speeds of 320km/h.

2. Unconventional Track
Unlike the majority of the F1 circuits, the KIC is a counter-clockwise track, which brings additional challenges to the racers. Other counter-clockwise circuits include the Istanbul Circuit in Turkey, Singapore Circuit, Yas Marina Circuit in the United Arab Emirates, and Sao Paulo Circuit in Brazil.

3. Modern Facilities with a Touch of Tradition
The KIC is one of the most highly advanced circuits in the world. Its track was built in a dual, hybrid structure to allow its length to change according to the type of race. At the same time, it incorporates elements of Korean traditional architecture in its design. For instance, the main grandstand of the circuit features a roof that resembles the eaves of a hanok (Korean traditional house). Overall, the circuit is a large venue that can accommodate up to 120,000 spectators.
