2024 O-NE SUPERRACE CHAMPIONSHIP FINALE

Since renaming to O-NE SUPERRACE CHAMPIONSHIP for the 2024 season, it brought some noticeable additions apart from the name change such as the Prius PHV Class, the Alpine Class, and the Korea Trofeo, among others. The top-tier Super 6000 class got a shakeup as well, yet it still showcased some intense racing action for drivers behind the wheel of the Super 6000 GR Supra racers.

With Jang Hyun-jin and Kim Jung-gun now 24 points between them, who will be crowned the 2024 champion? It's time to find out in this action-packed season finale at Yongin Everland Speedway.

The first race saw Jung Eui Chul of Seohan GP emerge the winner, beating the two One Racing drivers, Oh Han Sol and Lee Jung Woo. In the final race packed with dramatic turns, table-turning spins, and of course, the last corner drama when the #38 car got spun, One Racing driver Choi Kyung Bin is the winner but second placer Jang Hyun-Jin is coronated champion of the 2024 season. Seohan GP is officially crowned Team Champion and Nexen Tire is still the tire king of Superrace.

2024 O-NE SUPERRACE CHAMPIONSHIP - Season Opener

For the 2024 season, Superrace gets a new look. It's now called the O-NE SUPERRACE CHAMPIONSHIP, marking the first time in 17 years SUPERRACE does not use the CJ naming. 

It's rather odd because O-NE is the name of the service from CJ Logistics. However, breaking tradition aside, 18 drivers clash in their Super 6000 Toyota GR Supra machines in nine rounds in the hopes of becoming this season's champion.

The 2024 Superrace season kicked off at Yongin Everland Speedway for the two-part season opener. For the first time in Superrace history, TV network KBS has coverage for the 2024 season.

The first part of the 2024 season opener saw Seohan GP driver Jung Euichul as the winner while Jun-Fitted Racing's Hwang Jin Woo finished in 2nd and Brand New Racing's Park Gyu-seung in 3rd. In the second part, meanwhile, Seohan GP swept the podium with Jang Hyun Jun as the winner, Kim Jung Gun in 2nd, and Euichul in 3rd.

The next race will be at Yeongam Korea International Circuit for the Asia Motorsports Carnival this May 19, 2024.
