The Korea Sports Promotion Foundation (Chairman Cho Hyun-jae) published a 『30-year history of Korean racing (subtitle: 30 years of Korean racing sports)』, which contains the history of 30 years of Korean racing, which began at Jamsil Racecourse in 1994.

The book, which consists of about 300 pages, is largely divided into two parts and contains the history of Korean experience that has been developed through innovation for 30 years. The first part describes the 30-year history of using Jamsil Bicycle Stadium, a legacy of the 1988 Seoul Olympics, the departure process of the early Korean bicycle race to promote people's leisure, promote national sports, expand local finances, the opening of Gwangmyeong Speedom, the world's largest indoor bicycle stadium, and various social contribution activities.
