The chances of the inaugural Korean Grand-Prix actually taking place later this month have seen yet another set-back as an accident on Wednesday saw major damage done to one of the main grandstands.
One of the cranes erecting the grandstands tipped over and it’s arm cut through the grandstand set to seat thousands of spectators between 21st and 24th October.
KAVO, the organising company behind the event, have insisted that the incident would not delay the preparations and that the FIA were still set to inspect, and hopefully approve, the facility on 11th October.
“We will rush to complete work and people will see a complete circuit when they (the FIA) conduct a final inspection,” revealed an official.
