[AP/YONHAP]</em></span> <span class="mask"></span> </div> </div> <br> A preliminary feasibility study has found that hosting the Formula One (F1) Grand Prix in Incheon would be economically viable, the city government said Thursday. <br> <br> The study, commissioned by the city, found that the expected benefits would outweigh the costs by about 45 percent. <br><br>City officials described the findings as a “green light” to move forward with a bid. <br> <br> The study examined the feasibility of a street circuit centered around Dalbit Park in Songdo, near Incheon International Airport and existing transport links. <br> <br> The proposed track would stretch about 4.96 kilometers (3.08 miles) and meet top-tier international standards, with a top speed of 337 kilometers per hour (209 mph), the study said. <br> <br> An F1 Grand Prix in Incheon would likely draw more than 300,000 spectators over a three-day race weekend, with a daily capacity of up to 120,000, officials said. <br> <br> It could also generate about 580 billion won ($430 million) in tourism revenue and create roughly 4,800 jobs, while broadcasts to 180 countries would boost the city’s global visibility, the city said. <br> <br> Financial projections indicate the project could also be commercially viable, with estimated revenue of 1.13 trillion won exceeding projected costs of 1.04 trillion won, according to the study. <br> <br> Officials said funding for the event would be structured to limit the burden on public finances, with private-sector operators playing a central role and government support estimated at around 237 billion won. <br> <br> The city also outlined measures to mitigate disruptions, including noise barriers near residential areas and traffic management plans such as temporary bridges, shuttle buses and additional parking facilities. <br> <br> Incheon Mayor Yoo Jeong-bok described the bid as a potential turning point for Incheon, saying the race could help transform the city from a transit hub into a global destination. <br> <br> “F1 is not just a sporting event but a key driver that can reshape the city’s brand and tourism industry,” he said, adding that the city aims to increase its share of inbound tourists. <br><br> 관련자료 이전 카스퍼스키 “진짜 영상 튼 가짜 회의실”… 북한 ‘블루노로프’ 수법 분석 04-16 다음 대한체육회, '2026 전국생활체육대축전' 경남 일원 개최 04-16 댓글 0 등록된 댓글이 없습니다. 로그인한 회원만 댓글 등록이 가능합니다.
