Korean Grand Prix.
What's the deal?
There's two months to go but it's all gone suspiciously quiet... Does anyone have any updates? Pictures? anything?

When you ate at restuarants in teh country areas, the rice had a 10% barley mix, the barley used to offset the slight shortage in rice production.
What an incredible country - I could tell some great stories about my stay in Korea.
You must visualize a work ethic there unlike any that most of us are used to. The only other place where I have seen construction work progress at a breakneck pace was in Hong Kong, where Li Ka Shing built a new building in Kennedy Road for the Chinese Government for their official office - they worked 24 hours a day, with any complaints about noise at night completely ignored. But then, I digress.When in doubt, run in circles, scream and shout

Korea says FIA satisfied with progress
Based on past planned (failed) races in Korea, I wouldn't be buying an airline ticket or booking a hotel for this year. But they do claim to be on schedule."Every generation's memory is exactly as long as its own experience." --John Kenneth Galbraith

Bernie has not commented negatively and he WILL be the first to know.
The South Koreans know that there are a list of places willing to hold grands prix - if they stuff it up again, then Bernie may not wait around.Jense - Mclaren MP4-25 :DMonzaOne :D

much as i hate to admit it, as long as Bernie is still saying nothing or saying something positive it will all be ok. He has a 6th sensxe on these things and isn't shy about telling the world when he thinks its going tits up, normally to hasten the process and improve the deal for himself.
As long as Bernie is saying yes, we'll be there"I" before "E" except after "C". Weird.

If Korea is anything like as good then I think we'll all be happy.
