The Korean International Circuit provides the teams with a fascinating technical challenge. The first half of the 18-corner racetrack contains several high-speed corners and a 1.2km straight, while the end of the lap is tight, twisty and hemmed in by walls. Car set-up is a compromise between straight-line speed and low-speed grip.
There are several overtaking opportunities around the lap, the most obvious being into Turn Three. The cars exceed 310kph (and will also benefit from DRS) along the preceding straight: a crest in the braking area also makes it easy to lock a wheel and make a mistake. Other passing opportunities are into Turns Four and 10.
In the Korean races to date, cloudy conditions have led to low track temperatures. That has made tyre warm-up difficult, particularly in qualifying, and the teams are preparing for more of the same this year. Another natural influence on car performance is the sea-level location of the circuit. The high atmospheric pressure has a positive effect on engine performance and aerodynamics.

GP1 notes:
- Remember you need to let me know if you'll make this race by Friday. I will release a mod for this week by early Saturday Morning depending on who attends the race.
- Bear in mind also that the drivers who say they will attend and race but do not do so will be penalized with a 1-race suspension.
- Since we are on Tunngle, would be nice if you could make sure that it works for you.
