Karun Chandhok will be the very first person to drive an F1 car around the new Korean GP track on September 4th.
The Indian driver, contracted to Hispania but not currently racing for the team, will drive the Red Bull showcar around the circuit in front of 3,000 spectators
“Red Bull Racing and I know each other from my days on the junior programme,” he said. “The team’s regular drivers weren’t available due to other commitments, so I was happy to fill in.
“It’ll be a real honour to be one of the first people to drive around the new Korean circuit. The layout looks quite good fun on paper and I look forward to driving a winning team’s car there next weekend.”
