2012 Korea Scooter Race Championship KSRC

KRSC Korea Scooter Race Championship 2012
Jamsil Speed Track 9 September 2012

Well finally I made it to one of these scooter races after about 5 or so months of trying to find out where they were and when.

The track is close to Jamsil right on the Han river next to the motorway. A popular event for motorbike enthusiasts and racing girl enthusiasts. Several different racing girls attend each event posing with the racers before the race and are generally mobbed by photographers. Photographers can enter the race track prior to the race to snap photos of the girls and drivers.

So if you are interested check out the above link. But for now here are some photos and video's ^^























And of course the racing girls ^^

F1 Formula One Korea 2011 Saturday 15 October

Yeongnam was the destination of choice for this weekends F1 showcase.

Starting early we headed off to Mokpo on the KTX and then took a free shuttle bus to the event.

The KTX is quite a fantastic mode of transport. If you get the more spacious seats you can have a very comfortable ride with some service (free water and snacks) included. The train does not seem to be travelling all that fast but looking up at the screen we were pushing 270km/hr which is quite a good pace. We reached Mokpo in 3 hours.

So we arrived and lined up for another bus that took people around the event and dropped them off at the different seating areas. The day started with a mixed class race with I assume 1600 - 2L cars and V8's.

Then the qualifiers began with the F1 cars. I was surprised at how much the cars have changed in design (since I am not a huge F1 fan) since I had seen them last... which was a long time ago...

So it was quite exciting and very loud and a once in a lifetime experience.

I also have a bit of video I shot as well:

And what Korean event would be complete without a K-Pop concert!?.... Yes after the qualifiers there was a huge K-Pop show with a dozen or so acts including Brown Eyed Girls, 4 Minute and many others. I took a short clip of some of the acts but it took a long time to walk to the stage area so I didn't get all the acts :(

So after the event we had some delicious food and took the 3 hour KTX back to Seoul.

That's all for this week! See you again next week and have a good one yourself! :)
