Boondoggles: Korean Grand Prix

Send us a text


South Korea's hosting of the Formula One Grand Prix in Yeongam
(2010-2013) was supposed to bring global prestige, but instead
became one of motorsport’s biggest flops. We dive deep into how
mismanagement, cultural misunderstanding, construction disasters,
and financial chaos turned Korea’s ambitious F1 dreams into an
international embarrassment. Along the way, we explore Korea's
long history of hosting ambitious global events primarily for
image, without genuinely understanding their meaning or planning
properly.
