Aug.08 (GMM) Regardless of the doubts we hear in the news media on the readiness of the Korean circuit for the race in the fall, or perhaps because of these doubts, the circuit keeps on making announcements that lead us to believe it will be ready to race by the late October date. This week the Korea International Circuit announced the logo for the event.It calls it “an eloquent combination of national tradition and high-octane excitement.” The design is inspired by the Korean flag, or ‘Taegeukgi,’ and incorporates the racing symbol of the checkered flag.
“The ‘Taegeukgi’ incorporates the four Taoist philosophical ideals of harmony, symmetry, balance and flow, and its swirling treatment on the KIC emblem depicts both the energy of motorsport and the flow of the circuit,” the circuit said in a statement.
“The Yin and Yang elements of the Taegeukgi represent perfect balance and give our emblem a local aesthetic, while the modern design reflects our technologically-advanced new motorsport facility, the only one of its kind in the country and set to become the heart of the sport in South Korea,” said Yung Cho Chung, the circuit chief executive.
