2011 Formula 1 Korean Grand Prix
Back to back weekend!!!
While Vettel wrapped up his championship, there's still a few points left for Red Bull to grab for their double WCC. By crowning WCC here in Korea would sound a bit revenge by their bad luck last year in pouring rain. I'm hoping to see two DRS zone here, and by the looks of the layout, there should be three. Race Date: 16 Oct 2011 Circuit Name: Korea International Circuit Number of Laps: 55 Circuit Length: 5.615 km Race Distance: 308.630 km Lap Record: 1:50.257 - F Alonso (2010) Tire Compounds Provided: Prime: Soft (Yellow) Option: Super-Soft (Red) Rain: Intermediate (Light Blue), Wet (Orange) F1 TIMETABLE (Korea Local Time) Fri 14 October 2011 Practice 1 10:00 - 11:30 Practice 2 14:00 - 15:30 Sat 15 October 2011 Practice 3 11:00 - 12:00 Qualifying 14:00 Sun 16 October 2011 Race 15:00 F1 TIMETABLE (Pacific Time) Fri 14 October 2011 Practice 1 (Thu) 18:00 - 19:30 Practice 2 (Thu) 22:00 - 23:30 Sat 15 October 2011 Practice 3 (Fri) 19:00 - 20:00 Qualifying (Fri) 22:00 Sun 16 October 2011 Race (Sat) 23:00 F1 TIMETABLE (Eastern Time) Fri 14 October 2011 Practice 1 (Thu) 21:00 - 22:30 Practice 2 (Fri) 01:00 - 02:30 Sat 15 October 2011 Practice 3 (Fri) 22:00 - 23:00 Qualifying (Sat) 01:00 Sun 16 October 2011 Race 02:00

Should be a pretty good race. I remember it was fun to watch last year's inaugural Korean GP race in the wet.
Are most teams pretty much going to start focusing on developmental testing for 2012? |

I hope it isn't a repeat of the snore fest that was last year's race

DRS will be btwn turns 2 & 3, seems like a really long DRS zone. The also moved back the wall btwn turns 16&18, which sounds like a good move

Just one single DRS zone? They could've put 2-3 in this track...
Plus they should've design the pit entry at Turn 16, and start the speed limit zone earlier to offset the missed corners of 17 and 18.

the only thing that sucked about last years race, was the rain delay, having any kind of delay for a race that starts at 2am EST is not a good thing for us who woke up at 6am that morning and were awake for almost 24 hours by the time the race was done. Other than that, I thought it was a pretty good race
