Korea Grand Prix 2013 - YEONGNAM

[fayt]

Circuit



The 5.621km Yeongam track, located in the South Jeolla region of the Korean peninsula, is another Hermann Tilke creation. The track has a temporary street circuit section, which is included for the Grand Prix, and a 3.045-km permanent track, which will be used all year round. Korea features a 1.2km straight (one of three high-speed stretches), one of the longest straight of any current Asian Formula 1 circuit. It is also one of the calendar's few anti-clockwise tracks and features five slow turns and two obvious spots for overtaking. Korea is surely an eye opener for Formula 1 and could provide another thrilling race. Despite the frenetic rush to get the Yeongam circuit finished, the inaugural Korean Grand Prix was deemed a great success. The facilities were good and, more importantly, the track got the thumbs-up from the drivers. Its mix of fast, open corners to start the lap and a street circuit finish seemed to work well. The track was very slippery last year after the asphalt was laid only two weeks prior to the race and was still curing. It's now had time to settle, so there should be more grip available.

Potential 4th title of Vettel if he wins in next grand prix and Alonso is 9th or lower

[Zurca]

feeling ko tuloy mas mabilis lang talaga yung f1 car ni vettel, kung ilagay mo sina alonso/kimi/hamilton sa f1 car ng red bull, i think kaya din nila magchampion lol

[zzgundam]

When is this going to be held? I think I can watch this live.

[01_segundo]

Vettel can be the world champion on japan. Malau talaga ung capacity ng car ni vettel compare sa iba. Tingin ko nga, props na lng ung car ni webber. Na kay vettel na yng attention ng redbull. Unless, mag crash sia sa mga remaining race, vettel is on his way to his 4th straight championship.
