Korea hosted its first Formula 1 (F1) Grand Prix from Oct. 22 to 24 in Yeongam, South Jeolla Province.
Having already hosted the Olympics (1988) and the World Cup (2002, co-hosted with Japan), Korea once again proved its ability to stage large-scale international sporting events. The F1 drew about 160,000 spectators.
