Organisers of the Korean Grand Prix are adamant that next month's race will take place as planned.

The Grand Prix is meant to take place in less than three weeks' time but, ahead of a final inspection of the facilities on October 11, there have been suggestions that it may have to be postponed.

However, a spokesman for organisers KAVO told AFP: "We will have no problem in hosting the race on October 24 as we have almost completed the work.

"We will rush to complete work and FIA officials will see a complete circuit when they conduct a final inspection in two weeks' time."

FIA supremo Bernie Ecclestone had said while at the Singapore Grand Prix that he feared the race would not take place, but the spokesman added: "We take Ecclestone's remarks seriously as a message that we have to step up preparations for the race."
