May 29 (GMM) The FIA's Charlie Whiting this week gave a thumbs-up to the progress at the Valencia street circuit, following an inspection of the European grand prix site.
Spanish publications report that Whiting inspected the Circuito Urbano de Valencia, a bespoke street layout around the Spanish city's port, along with representatives of the event's promoters Valmor Sports, the Spanish motor racing federation and the regional government.
"Whiting praised the characteristics and the thoroughness with which (Valencia) is carrying out the construction," the newspaper El Pais wrote.
A representative of Spain's racing federation Real Federacion Espanola de Automoviliso (RFEDA), meanwhile, said Whiting was pleased that the street circuit has "all the safety features that exist in permanent facilities".
