TICKET INFORMATION:
There are a huge range of tickets available for the Korean F1.
Please click on the photos to see the grandstand layouts.
There are no General admission tickets.

We highly recommend the Main Grandstand tickets as they are in a covered grandstand with by far the best views of the circuit and pits.

Subject to organisers final approval - Pit lane walk on Friday
This will be advised on arrival in Mokpo

We can access all tickets and places but having just conducted an inspection of the track and stands we highly recommend the Gold seats in the main grandstand. The view is excellent - straight into the pits and with the anti-clockwise design of the circuit it is possible to see the entire pit lane - start finish from your seat. If you are looking at a box seat you can also exit the box and see almost the entire track from the upper floors.

The new straight is 1.3km long with the expected top speed to be higher than any other circuit - around 285km/h!

Corporate box facilities and paddock passes are available for extra cost please enquire

4 star in Seoul and 3 star hotels in Mokpo for a total of 8 nights in Korea with daily breakfast.
(Buffet or American breakfast)
- Local lunch from day 2, day 6 day 8
- The English Speaking guide for the whole tours.
- Transfer services for the whole journey.

All Tours include a 4 star hotel in central Seoul on arrival, plus a 3 star
Mokpo city hotel.

Our chosen hotels are in the city and adjacent to the festival that is planned by KAVO (the organising committee) for the weekend of the race.
Ferrari team journalists and many other media organisations are based in the same block.

NOTE:
There are only 3 star hotels in Mokpo.
Most are fully booked and are being used by the teams and government officials. We have secure rooms in neighbouring properties to provide the best access for the most reasonable price.

All rooms are large, clean and well equipped with Plasma TV and internet and tea and coffee making facilities but they are typically Korean in decor. Do not expect a Marriott style modern decorated hotel in Mokpo. They do not exist. We like to think of them as "retro" and quirky. One thing is certain. They add to the memorable experience of being in Korea.

Breakfast
English speaking guides

Anyone who went to the World Cup will know that when the Koreans decide to do something they do it well. And anyone who knows Grand Prix's knows that the inaugural race at a new track is a very rare event. If the efforts that went into the opening of the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix are anything to go by we can guarantee that the Koreans will want to make their mark on the world stage.

The Korean Grand Prix will announce its presence on the world Formula 1 calendar in 2010.

The Korean Grand Prix will be held in South Korea on the 22nd of October 2010.

After months of speculation, on October 2, 2006 it was confirmed that the event would actually take place. The Korean International Circuit,was built between 2007 and is due to be finished by July 2010.

Like many of the new circuits, Korea has yet to prove its metal but with the design skills in place and a total distance of 155 miles in the race there is plenty for the drivers to consider.

Accommodation is very limited around the circuit but we are delighted to have secured access to the best hotels and there is a good chance that if you attend the inaugural Korean F1 you will get closer to the action than at any other race in 2010. (That's a big big hint!)

For those of you who remember how well the Koreans dealt with the World Cup there should be no doubt. Korea will host a brilliant race in 2010

There is a capacity of 120 000 for the race but the best seats are in the main grandstand, which is covered and looks into the pits.

Following our inspection in 2010 we can tell guests that there are still a lot of things to be done, including laying the road surface but the construction team are working full time and we are confident (as is Charlie Whiting) that the race will be ready in plenty of time.

Hotels are few and far between in Mokpo so we have constructed packages that are as close as possible to the circuit but which still offer a good standard and reasonable prices. Hotels in Seoul are western style
but Mokpo hotels are definately Korean in nature and their quirky inclusions add to the feeling of being in the orient. All rooms are large by western standards and have all facilities such as TV, internet, walk in shower bathrooms etc. You will be very comfortable in them.

The organisers (KAVO) have designed a programme of entertainments throughout the week including fireworks, dancers, street displays and more. It will be a spectacular event and we highly recommend that you attend the Korean Grand Prix in 2010.

The strait on the circuit is the longest of any race at over 1.3 km and top speeds are expected to be around 290kmh. Expect plenty of high speed action a,d over taking as they come into the sharp right hand bend at the top of the pit straight.
Without doubt the race in Korea will be a unique and exciting Grand Prix
