Kudos to all those who identified this engine as a V10! Initial reports of it being an RB5 must have been misinformed.

As this Autosport article reports:

"It was close to a six year old car with a V10 engine - especially derived for running show car projects - with a very basic telemetry system."

Is that a Cosworth V10

I'm going to give my ears a present or something.

Comparing Karun Chandhok's run with the Codemaster CAD data. It is clear that some of the grandstands, buildings and bridges will only go up in the next years, but the track itself will be ready, as Horner says. I believe that Bernie is just showing the Koreans how displeased he is and the usual busybodies are having their tongue wagging fest.

Sky Deutschland learned from Charlie Whiting that the Korean GP will definitely happen. The final asphalt layer is finished and they are working on finishing curbs and the like. Bernie and Whiting are 99% confident that the inspection will be passed.

After seeing Weber's tour now I understand why the backend of the circuit seemed illogical. That section is supposed to be an eventual street circuit section. Huh... I wonder if they'll install the skyscrapers in time for 2011? Should be a very good circuit though. Not a classic, but very good.
