South Korea logistics

I'm planning to rent a car from the Incheon (ICN) airport. I understand the drive is about 200-250 miles from Seoul. I hope they have GPS!! If hotel space is tight (and I'm sure it will be) I might just sleep in my car.
Can any of you veterans give me advice on the best way to go about getting a ticket once I get to Korea. Any other "watchouts" would be appreciated. When I return I'll post photos and videos as well as a Trackchaser Report from this adventure on my site at www.randylewis.org.
Thanks!
Randy

1,600 tracks in 47 countries and only 2 of them F1?
My thoughts exactly..
But even before that - Are there 1600 tracks in the whole world?

I was thinking that too ;p maybe if you count karting, ice-skating and grey-hound tracks, etc

Hey Dude !I've made a last minute decision to go to the South Korean Grand Prix. Although I've been to more than 1,600 tracks in 47 different countries I've never been to South Korea. Also, the only Formula 1 races I've ever seen were in Las Vegas and Indianapolis. Therefore I am a "rookie" when it comes to watching Formula 1.

Las Vegas ? How horrible ! Lived in the US 7 years, Las Vegas is my worst memory !
Anyhow...I would say like Alfisti, try to get them prior to your departure !
And, sorry to say, but I've read from Mark Sutton (the photographer) that most of the motels there are Brothels, so carry a bunch of rubbers with ya, or take your 44 w/ !
Good luck !

Do not rent a car, actually the parking and raods around are not good! Take the KTX train to Mokpo form Seould Station, easy to get a bus from Incheon to Seoul Station. There are buses from Mokpo to the track.
