The first grand prize race in the second half of 2024, will be held for three days from August 2-4

Since the participants will be selected by summing up the scoring rankings until July, the representative players of the Korean race are expected to participate. In addition, unlike the traditional method of competing in regular races, the winner will be determined by the preliminary round on Friday, the semifinal match on Saturday, and the long-awaited final on Sunday on the first day.
The biggest concern of this competition, which will heat up the summer even hotter, is whether Lim Chae-bin, who has won three of the four big competitions this year, including the Busan Mayor's Cup Special Race, will be able to win again this time.

Since becoming a racer in 2020, Lim Chae-bin, who has broken not only major competitions but also a new record for consecutive wins, including winning various grand prizes and winning three consecutive king games, is truly a "tough one" in the world of racers.
His tireless legs while dragging more than one lap as a good deed are already unrivalled, and in recent years, his ability to use the technique before leaning, which has begun to increase its weight in addition to the good deed, has become smoother. The last-minute Chu In-jong, which was pointed out as a weakness, has also become sharp, perhaps because of his desperate efforts since he was overturned by Jung Jong-jin once.
In the past, Lim Chae-bin was monotonous and somewhat clunky, focusing on good deeds, but the current Lim Chae-bin is truly the 'existent power of experience' equipped with various new weapons.
In addition, his team, Suseong, has become more powerful with a large number of talented young players coming in. For this reason, it can be said that any team or any player has no choice but to be wary of Lim Chae-bin, and the environment for operating such as location selection has improved.
In addition, Lim Chae-bin is always silently performing a huge amount of training and thoroughly managing himself, so it is difficult to find a slump common to players. For this reason, Lim Chae-bin is the most likely winner again this time.
▶ If Lim Chae-bin collapses, how many cases will it be?
Experts say that it is difficult to expect an unexpected event if the economy is in the current state of play. For example, if no one resists and follows Lim Chae-bin on his way, it is impossible to expect a change in rank as if he is doing what is commonly called 'train play'.
Therefore, it seems necessary for someone or a certain solidarity force to block Lim Chae-bin's path in front, or cover it up from behind, lock it in the extension, and press it.
In fact, experts attribute the commonality of the five races, in which Lim Chae-bin did not win the first place, to Lim Chae-bin's failure to adequately respond to unexpected variables. On the other hand, if the No. 1 ranking is strong as Lim Chae-bin, even if the second and third fights are fierce, it can give another interest to viewers. This is because there are various Seungsik in the race, so it is more important to predict who can finish second and third.
Park Chang-hyun, publisher of the project site Choi Kang-ryeon, said "Lim Chae-bin has recently evolved with various new weapons, and his physical condition is at its peak, so we cannot deny that he is the number one candidate for the grand prize."However, depending on how bold the remaining finalists are and how aggressive they are, variables may occur in the second or third stint, or even greater upsets may occur. As it is a big competition where the fun of watching is as important as the result, we look forward to the challengers' efforts and good performance."
