As the last night race of this season, Choi Kwang-bin was the first to receive a checker in the final round of the Super 6000 class of the sixth round of the '2024 One Super Race Championship' held at Inje Speedium in Inje-gun, Gangwon-do, on the 24th.
After finishing second to Lee Jung-woo (One Racing) in the preliminary round held this afternoon, Choi Kwang-bin fell to fourth place immediately after starting in the final. However, there was a problem with Lee Jung-woo's machine, which was leading in the fourth lap, and while Jeong Eui-chul (Seo Han-GP) and Kim Dong-eun (One Racing) collided, Choi Kwang-bin ran to the championship after taking the lead.
Choi Kwang-bin, who returned to the race this season after being discharged from the military, was caught up in various accidents such as car contact and breakdown in the final despite his good performance in the preliminary round, but this time, he was lucky to be in fourth place. Choi Kwang-bin, who won his first title in the seventh round in 2021, has emerged as a dark horse this season, shaking off a two-year absence from military service.
Kim Dong-eun, who also returned to the third season since 2021, took second place and succeeded in achieving her first podium of the season, while veteran Jang Hyun-jin (Seo Han GP), who is running first in driver points, took third place, with 117 points, slightly widening the gap with Kim Joong-gun (86 points) in second place on the same team.
In the GT class, Jung Kyung-hoon (Bit R&D) won his third game of the season, taking a step closer to achieving his seventh consecutive defeat in the class. The 7th round will be held at Yeongam Korea International Circuit in Jeollanam-do from October 12 to 13.
