The inaugural Korean Grand Prix will go ahead as planned on October 24 after Formula 1 officials gave it the go-ahead following a track inspection.
The FIA's technical delegate Charlie Whiting completed a two-day inspection of the venue on Tuesday (October 12).
New aerial photographs show a completed main grandstand, while the pit and paddock areas are apparently finished, though much of the remainder of the circuit still resembles a building site.
F1 chief Bernie Ecclestone had expressed doubts about whether the race could take place, with a September 21 inspection called off.
But Whiting described the track as "satisfactory" this week, adding that a license would be issued through the Korea Automobile Racing Association (KARA).
KARA chairman Chung Yung-cho said: "We join the whole of Korea in welcoming the Formula 1 fraternity to the Korea International Circuit for the first time."
