Korean organisers claim Grand Prix on schedule
Sep 28, 2010
SEOUL - Hours before Fernando Alonso shot off from pole position at the SingTel Singapore Grand Prix, Formula 1 supremo Bernie Ecclestone warned the Korean race, scheduled to be held on Oct 24, was in jeopardy.
A final inspection from the sport's world governing body, originally set for Sept 23, had been delayed, sparking worries that the circuit would not be ready in time.
Yesterday, race organisers Korea Auto Valley Operation (Kavo) gave the assurance they will be ready to host the country's first Formula 1 race next month.
"We will have no problem in hosting the race on Oct 24 as we have almost completed work," said Kavo spokesman Kim Jae-Ho.
Kavo claimed the inspection by the FIA was delayed only because of South Korea's three-day autumn harvest holiday last week.
"We will rush to complete work and FIA officials will see a complete circuit when they conduct a final inspection in two weeks," Kim said.
"We take Ecclestone's remarks seriously as a message that we have to step up preparations for the race."
The Korean Grand Prix will take place at Yeongam, 320km south of Seoul and will be held on a 5.6km track.
It will be the 17th Grand Prix of this year's 19-race season and Kavo will host the race for seven years with an option to extend for another five years, if arrangements with the FIA are satisfactory. AFP
