The 'O-NE Super Race Championship' sponsored by CJ Korea Express will become more dynamic next year.
The super race has evolved one step further from the strategic race of the 2025 season, heralding an audience-oriented dynamic season.
First of all, in the 2026 season, the final driving distance of the Toyota Gaju Racing 6000 class will be shortened from a maximum of 170km to about 100km. As all the matches are compressed within a short distance, a more urgent development will take place. In addition, the mandatory pitstop rule for all games will be abolished, and only one or two pitstop races will be operated during the season. Through this, the flow of the game is expected to be more exciting and centered on pure racing battles between drivers.
The access weight system of up to 50kg, which was in operation until the 2025 season, will be removed from 2026. With the decision to maximize internal competition factors such as the driver's pure skills and the team's vehicle setting ability, the race under the same conditions is expected to produce more intense results.
In addition, in the 2026 season, differential application of tire quantity regulations according to the type of game, such as general round, double round, and durable race round, is under discussion. Through this, each team can use tire strategies tailored to the characteristics of the race, and it is expected that different races will be able to engage in different types of battles. In addition, the amount of prize money will be expanded.
Meanwhile, the 2026 One Super Race Championship will be operated in a total of six competitions and eight rounds for about seven months from the opening game in April to the final game in October. The opening and final matches will be run in a double round, allowing fans who are unable to visit the site on both weekends to enjoy all races from preliminary to final at once for a day. For visitors, it is possible to watch more compressed and complete games, and Super Race said it plans to create a season that increases fan accessibility and on-site satisfaction at the same time.
The first and second rounds (April 18-19, 2026) and the seventh and eighth rounds (October 24-25) will be held at Everland Speedway in Yongin, and the third and sixth rounds (May 24) and the sixth rounds (September 12-13) will be held at Yeongam Korea International Circuit in Jeollanam-do. And the 4th to 5th rounds (July 18th and August 22nd) will be held as a night race at Inje Speedium in Inje-gun, Gangwon-do.
