Great post Duke 
Korean Grand Prix 2011, Yeongam Circuit - Race 16/19
- Thread starter Duke
- Start date
Really? What is there to love? Its a soul-less place with no notable features in the layout, pointless corners for corners sake, and pretty much nothing to challenge the drivers at all.
Mark and Seb both love driving there and im a demon on the PS3 there
I suppose it could be like Hungary. Its a rubbish track for racing, and nobody really looks forward to the GP from the fans side, but god, do I love flying around there on the F1 games!
As a fan though, without the insight into the drivers you get within the team, I just struggle to get excited about this place. And after all, the drivers can enjoy it all they like, but if the fans aren't interested, then it might be hard times ahead for the track.
Oh yes it isnt the greatest from a spectators point of view id agree but i do like it. Lets face it,these days there are a lot of tracks that bore the pants off people as a spectator sport, i personally hate Monaco. 10 Silverstones and 10 Spa scattered throughout the world would be good for me .
Its all about ticket sales though really. I mean look at Turkey, the drivers love that track, the TV fans love it, but the Turkish.... not so much, and as a result, we have lost it
Funny thing with Turkey, you can be 30 miles from the track in a nice hotel with paps and TV crews everywhere and the locals dont even know there is a race on.

About 10 posts up.
But like I said, providing this is to cement FI's future, and not to start building some sort of exit plan, its good news all round.
Yep same time as last week - 6am and 7am start for qually and the race.
Will goto work early,watch fp1 and 2 then drink coffee for a bit and go home
Finished the 2012 car already?

most teams apear to be giving the impression they have done most of the work already.
i guess rbr didnt really need to do much anyway
you realise of course CS would have no way of knowing either way (and no reason he should)
Its like asking a guy in a bank's markerting department wether the trader just arrested in the news is guilty lol
(just for the record, I like CS, think his posts are a great addition here and always worth a read even if they are understandably biased on occasion
)
One of my 'weird' pleasures in life is getting up at ~5-6am to drink coffee and watch F1. There's just something strangely satisfying and peaceful about sitting in the dark, watching my favorite sport.
