The organisers of the Korean GP have denied reports that the circuit won’t be ready in time to host it’s inaugural grand prix on October 24th.
This comes after track designer and consultant to the construction, Hermann Tilke told Focus.de that he was afraid the track wouldn’t be ready in time.
“For the first time I am afraid that a track is not going to be finished on time.”
However, Korea Auto Valley Operation CEO, Cho Chung, told Autosport that the construction is in fact ahead of schedule.
“The construction progress for our circuit is well ahead of its schedule and we have absolutely no issues with completion.
“I understand that Mr. Ecclestone is quite happy with not only the progress of the track but the direction the Korean F1 race is headed and he has raised no questions and concerns,” Chung added.
