The annual Formula 1 race used to be held here every year around October in the years 2010-2013. It has been removed from the F1 calendar due to quality of the venue considered too low, however.
The Korea International Circuit is a 5.615 km (3.489 mi) motorsport circuit located in Yeongam, South Jeolla Province, South Korea, 320 km (200 mi) south of Seoul and near the port city of Mokpo. It was the venue for the Korean Grand Prix from 2010 to 2013 after a $264 million deal between Bernie Ecclestone and the Korean F1 promoter Korea Auto Valley Operation.
