So the Koreans still believe it's going to happen... interesting.
Korean GP Worries
- Thread starter House
- Start date
Hopefully they've got the top coat down by now or they're cutting it awfully close. Could be an "interesting" race if everything is finished but the tarmac is leaching oils onto the surface.
The jib looks to be raised by 35 degrees in the pics so I wonder if he did have a load and we just can't see it as it went crashing through the stand.

Heard on the radio earlier it is going ahead, have to say it's pretty impressive considering the state it looked not too long ago!

We are know that the clip above is not true to life Mark66... I mean come on? We've seen Mark and Sebastian try racing each other like that and one of them ends up DNF

from BBC's own website - anyone else heard about this? (I was just checking the time of the race as I have to go to My grandmother's 95th bday lunch on race day (nr Swindon of all places)
(the race, as you would expect , seems to be available - but no quali !!! Surely not something to do with local broadcaster?)

You've just posted that the qualli will be on Saturday between 5 and 7.30 am?

Its pretty obvious he meant to point out the "Not available on freeview part", i hope it just means the audio options.
Edit:
So the Qualy is on BBC1, it must have been talking about the red button options.

Well, why did he put that part in bold if it wasn't what he was pointing out? Even that he says the race is available, but not qualy. Use the head.
I DID mean to highlight that as it reads quali isnt available on freeview (the placing of the full stop to me indicates the whole thing isnt available not just the audio options)
as initial post should show - I was highly surprised, but being Korea, it could have been possible
Glad the bbc seem to have typo'd an error

That long straight could be interesting if McLaren get the new blown wing working. There look to be sections prime for RB and for McLaren so it could be a good race.
Sector 1 should be ok for McLaren as its straights and slow corners. I expect Red Bull to be crazy strong in Sector 2 though.

Problem is if someone manages to get in front of them in the race. That whole section is typical Tilke - single file, no overtaking.
