Ferrari Bus : Seoul – Daejeon – Gwangju – Circuit
Please be 10 minutes early for the head count. The bus will stop in front of the Hamilton at 04:30 and has to leave immediately because of strict traffic enforcement and time constraints. On our other F1 trips people missed the bus before and it may result in people spending extra money and time to take a public bus to Gwangju or Mokpo and will also result in people who are late missing lots of the Saturday action. The bus will be there at around 4 AM
The bus is mostly orange and has the 2213 as the bottom part of its Registration. It will also have Waegook Travel signs on the windscreen at the door where passengers embark. At each stop please make sure you are on the right bus. The Waegook Travel buses are parked together at the circuit. Each bus will be clearly marked with its destination. Please read the info for all the departure points on your route seeing that it contains info regarding stops etc.
The bus might be a bit up or down the street from the Hamilton due to traffic regulations and parking.

We have three motels because we have a big group. The Ritz Motel will be the base and that is where the majority of people will be staying. The other two are in the immediate vicinity of the Ritz.The Ritz Motel is very easy to find. It's a block awayfrom the main BUS entrance at Gwangju Bus Terminal (Bottom of the U-Square). You will have to walk around because it's illegal and dangerous to exit there. When you stop at the bus terminal see where the buses come in. When you face the bus entrance turn right towards the taxi stand. At the taxi stand turn left and turn left again at the first intersection. You will be heading back towards the bus entrance, but now you are outside the bus terminal. When you get to the entranceon your left, turn right. It's only a block up. It's near a big night club and you will see a small convenience store right across from the motel. It's about a 15 to 20 minutes walk. You can take a taxifrom the terminal as well.Just say RitzMotel.

FOOD
Sandwiches, Biltong, Circuit and Rest Areas:
People who ordered sandwiches as part of their packages will receive a sandwich on the way to the circuit from Gwangju on Saturday. We will have a few extra sandwiches and biltong (South African Style Beef Jerky made in Korea) for sale on the bus. At the rest areas we suggest you grab something to eat because it’s a very long trip. Just make sure it’s something you don’t have to wait for, so that you can get back on the bus on time. There are also food and drinks for sale at the circuit.
Saturday Dinner
People who ordered the Saturday Korean BBQ dinner will join us for dinner on Saturday evening at 21:00 after we get back from the circuit. People who did not order the dinner can arrange with the guides on Saturday on the bus. The dinner will be Won 20 000. It’s really a lot of food and people from last year said this was one of the highlights of the trip. Vegetarians can speak to us so that we can cater for you. It will be much less and you will have some options to choose from.
Bus Driver Tips: It is customary to tip the driver one way only if you feel he did his best to get you there on time.
We hope that everyone is as excited as we are.
