South Korea have been looking to return to the F1 calendar, suggesting a new street race in Incheon for 2028.
South Korea plans to return to the Formula 1 calendar with a new street race in Incheon for 2028, after being off the calendar since 2013 due to financial concerns and low interest in the sport. The proposed street circuit around Songdo Moonlight Festival Park has received approval following a financial feasibility study. Incheon has emerged as the top choice over Yeongam to host the Grand Prix. The plan involves utilizing existing roads instead of constructing a permanent track, with expectations of boosting tourism and creating jobs. Significant government support is required before South Korea can secure a spot on the calendar, with plans to identify private-sector partners by the end of the year to aim for a double race in 2028. While the return of Formula 1 to South Korea is still in its early stages, there is optimism about tapping into the growing fan base in the country, especially among the younger demographic active on social media.
