The BMW Driving Center, the first of its kind in Asia, will be built on 240,000 square meters of land at a total cost of 70 billion won (US$62 million), BMW Group Korea said.
Opening of the driving center is slated for the second half of next year at the earliest, it said. The driving center includes a track, customers' center, training center, service center and eco-friendly athletic park.
Officials at the Incheon Free Economic Zone Authority forecast that the driving center will attract more than 100,000 people every year.
Lee Jong-cheol, commissioner of the Incheon Free Economic Zone Authority, said the driving center will help revitalize the local economy.
