The main part of Formula One is Europe. So most racing team and the tracks are located in Europe and the market for Formula One also focusing on the European people. But after all, the trend has been changed to also focus on other part of the world. Such as, the new tracks are made in Asian countries and in 19 races, few Asian countries included. Recently the Bahrain, China, Malaysia and Turkey held the Formula One race. And the more and more countries are trying to hold the race.

And also Korea also held the GrandPrix in Jeonra-Namdo Young Am. And it called as F1 Korea GrandPrix. The Formula One is the most expensive car racing car.

And almost 23million people are watching the race annually. It is the most commercially beneficial sports sector out of currently existing sports.
