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.

Although overshadowed by the return of Carlo Van Damme in SUPERRACE, the third round of the 2023 SUPERRACE season is nothing without a few dramas involved such as an engine failure for Lee Hyo Jun on Lap 21 and an out-of-fuel heartbreak for Jang Hyun Jin as the race nears its climax.

After a 29-lap action in the KIC, Ecsta Racing's Lee Chanjoon is the winner of the race while Brand New Racing's Park Gyu-seung finished 2nd and Seohan GP's Jeong Hoe Won finished 3rd.
