Jung Kyung-hoon blazed through with a record 1:43.661, securing his third consecutive pole position this season. Teammates Ahn Kyung-sik and Kim Ji-won followed closely, clocking 1:44.801 and 1:45.124 respectively.

Inside the 2025 One Super Race: What Makes This Season Different?

This year’s One Super Race Championship is not just another motorsport event. The 2025 season features major changes: increased race mileage (up to 170km), mandatory mid-race refueling, and a reduction in the maximum success weight from 100kg to 50kg. These tweaks are designed to level the playing field and encourage more thrilling, unpredictable races. For the GTA class, the split from the GTB class means even more fierce competition among high-performance, heavily modified cars. The new rules also mean that qualifying points have been removed, putting all the pressure on race day results.
Motorsport fans are loving these changes, saying they make every race feel like a final showdown.

Qualifying Drama: How the Grids Were Decided

The qualifying session was a rollercoaster. Early on, Kim Ji-won set the target time, but was soon challenged by Jang Jun (Two K Body) and Han Min-kwan (Brand New Racing). Sim Jeong-wook (Ego Racing) briefly took the lead before Jung Kyung-hoon entered the track with about 11 minutes left and smashed the lap record. Ahn Kyung-sik quickly followed, securing his spot in the top three. The final grid order saw Bit R&D’s trio in 1st to 3rd, followed by Sim Jeong-wook, Han Min-kwan, Moon Se-eun, Kim Si-woo, and Jang Jun.
Community forums like FM Korea and DC Inside exploded with reactions, many praising Jung’s strategic timing and Bit R&D’s flawless execution.

Community Buzz: How Korean Fans Reacted Online

On TheQoo and Instiz, fans were amazed by Bit R&D’s dominance. One popular comment read, 'Is this the birth of a new dynasty in Korean motorsports?' Others on Naver and Daum discussed the technical edge Bit R&D seemed to have, with some speculating about their car setups and pit strategies. However, not everyone was thrilled—some users on Nate Pann questioned if the new regulations were giving too much advantage to well-funded teams, sparking debates about fairness and accessibility in the sport.
Still, the overall mood was one of excitement and anticipation for the finals.

Cultural Context: Why the Super Race Matters in Korea

For international fans, it’s important to know that the One Super Race is Korea’s premier motorsport festival, comparable to the likes of Japan’s Super GT or Germany’s DTM. The event attracts not just hardcore racing fans but also families and young people, thanks to its festival-like atmosphere and diverse class structure. The split between GTA and GTB classes this year has opened doors for more drivers and teams, making the sport more inclusive and competitive.
Korean motorsports have been steadily growing, with more media coverage, sponsorships, and passionate fan communities both online and offline.

What’s Next: The Road to the Championship

With nine rounds in total, the 2025 season is far from over. The next races will see teams adapting to the new rules and strategies, especially with the reduced success weight and stricter tire regulations. Bit R&D’s early dominance has set the tone, but as fans on PGR21 and Efem Korea pointed out, anything can happen in motorsports. Jung Kyung-hoon himself admitted that the hot weather and track conditions played a role in his qualifying strategy—a reminder that in racing, even the smallest variables can change everything.
All eyes are now on the finals to see if Bit R&D can maintain their lead or if a new challenger will emerge.
