Abandoned £300 million F1 track in South Korea sees dwindling use after just four races

express.co.uk

The Korea International Circuit, built for £300 million, hosted only four Formula 1 races from 2010 to 2013. Despite initial hopes, local interest was low, and the track has since fallen into disuse. Since F1's departure, the circuit has hosted some Asian racing series, but participation has dwindled. In 2024, only the Superrace Championship used the facility for two rounds. South Korea is now planning a new street race in Incheon, while the Yeongam circuit remains largely abandoned. The future of notable racing events at the site appears unlikely.
