So the day of the race Zak and I woke up very early to head on post and get to the bus that took us down south to the Korean International Circuit in Yeongnam. This trip was supposed to be 4 hours each way but you add in the traffic of over 170,000 people attending the race it was easily 12 hours round trip... not the ideal situation but hey..$95 dollars people! ;)
This was my first ever visit to a race track of any kind, and I am definitely a fan of Formula 1 racing now! We were rooting for the Brits driving the McLarens, Button and Hamilton. Here are a few photos of us arriving at the race track:
And all the drivers arriving to the pit area:
I was also able to get some footage of the opening ceremony:
The race had a delay due to the rainy weather, and then went on to have about 20 safety laps, and finally the race began! There were a lot of wrecks on this track, which was pretty intense. We had our fingers crossed that our guys would wreck and they didn't! Here is a photo of my man Lewis Hamilton being pushed to his starting block:
Zak enjoying the race:
With a sudden turn of events the Ferrari team ended up winning and Hamilton came in second, which we thought was pretty awesome considering a lot of cars didn't even finish!
Here is a photo of the the awards ceremony and of me representing my roots:
We had an awesome time and can't wait to go again next year!
