Korea's plans for a futuristic city to be built in the middle of the new formula one circuit in Yeongam are on track.
Current aerial photos of the harbour-side venue depict a bland and messy setting, with much of the surrounding area resembling a construction site.
But the plans for the final section of the 5.6 kilometre is layout are grandiose. The idea is that the Hermann Tilke-penned venue will eventually be part-permanent and partly a city street course.
According to the local Korea Herald newspaper, the government announced on Monday that it has approved plans for the leisure-themed corporate city.
The $1.67 billion plans, to transform the area into a motor sport and tourism city by 2021, were lodged by the provincial authorities and race promoter Korea Auto Valley Operation.
The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism said construction is likely to start in the second half of 2011.

A week ago, FIA track inspectors did a full-scale inspection of the race-track and they said it was satisfactory. So I guess that means the Korean F1 Grand Prix is a go then???
If so, then this will be the first F1 event in Korea ever. Then after one month, the Korean Super Prix Formula Three will make its return debut (after a six-year absence) at the Yeongam race circuit
