"We are extremely pleased with the progress of the circuit, facilities, and preparations for the Formula 1 Korean Grand Prix," said KAVO Chief Executive Officer Yung Cho Chung.
"Construction is on schedule for completion this summer, and we have encountered no obstacles whatsoever, either logistical or political.
