5 talking points of the Korean GP

Korea for 2014?

Korean GP is in doubt for the 2014 season

While 2013 had some excitement and entertainment at the Korean GP which was somewhat different from the earlier editions, the race at the Korean International Circuit for 2014 in Yeongam remains in doubt.

The race organizers have been in the red with 2012 figures showing a $37 million deficit. Add to that the low attendance of spectators during all the three sessions, and it becomes even more difficult for the organizers to justify the event. The drivers might find the track challenging but with financial issues the organisers would find it difficult to sustain.

With the hefty race fee and Bernie Ecclestione’s hard bargaining techniques for commercial rights and the amount of money being churned out, it won’t be surprising to see Korea being taken off for 2014.
