Korean Grand Prix nearly “rained out.” :)

[Cloud USA] I ran across the long-awaited Korean Grand Prix live on my cable provider’s Speed Channel late last night and eagerly tuned in because, even though Rain and the other K-Pop artists’ appearances at the KGP Festival would have happened in the days before the Big Race, I’m still a Formula 1 babe at heart.

Well, after YEARS of planning, building the new Yeongam race course, and excitement over having this circuit as a stop in the 2010 Formula 1 season… the doggone race was almost ruined only four laps in because of bad weather.

There we were at a Red Flag, completely stopped because the track wouldn’t drain water, waiting with Mark Webber in second spot while it rained cats and dogs, until the sun began to set.  And when things did finally clear up, more disaster for point-leader Mark when he spun in water and totaled his car into a wall.  He walked away unhurt, but… BUMMER!

Maybe next time (next stop should be Brazil).

Why was I so fixated on Mark Webber?  Well, not only is he one of my favorite F1 drivers, he scored major points with me last November when he (and his stand-in Ninja LOL) and Rain rocked F1 Rocks Singapore concert tickets and a Ninja Assassin premiere promo.  Remember?  “Rain—I want those tickets!”  “Sorry, it’s mine.”  Haha!  Hilarious! 🙂
