Ecclestone doubts over inaugural Korean GP


(CNN) -- Formula One boss Bernie Ecclestone has voiced his concern over whether next month's inaugural Korean Grand Prix will go ahead.
The race -- to be staged on October 24 at the brand-new Yeongam track 390 kilometers (240 miles) south of South Korean capital, Seoul -- has yet to pass a final safety inspection by motorsport's world governing body, the FIA.
An initial inspection was planned for September 21, but this was later canceled because of a public holiday in South Korea. A new date has been set for October 11.
"It's not good. It should have been inspected six weeks ago," Ecclestone told the BBC after Sunday's Singapore Grand Prix.
"We normally have a 90-day check before a race and now we are sort of putting this off," he added.
