Yunh Cho Chung, Chairman of the Korea Automobile Racing Association, said that the visit had gone well. “[We] welcomed Charlie Whiting for a site inspection of the Korea International Circuit, as well as for meetings relating to our preparations for the … grand prix,” he explained.

“As anticipated, we had a successful visit and we are confident the drivers, teams and Formula 1 fans will enjoy the Korea International Circuit.”

The venue is expected to be completed next month.
