Organisers of the upcoming inaugural Korean Grand Prix have told GPUpdate.net that the circuit will be completed by the time of its final FIA inspection on Monday 11 October. The response follows worries expressed by Formula 1 commercial rights holder Bernie Ecclestone in Singapore on Sunday.
With Ecclestone having claimed that there are ‘dangerous concerns’ over the Yeongam race which is scheduled for the weekend of 23-24 October, its final FIA examination has been delayed although Korea Auto Valley Operation (KAVO) is confident that its results will prove positive.
“KAVO heard Mr. Ecclestone's comments in the news and we recognise that he worries about the completion of circuit more than we thought,” a KAVO spokesperson explained to GPUpdate.net on Thursday afternoon.
“However, the circuit will be finished before the inspection.
"The remaining operations ahead of the FIA inspection are the final coating and cleaning of the surface.”
