hello!
The race will be run on a new track and new season for one year in 2024.

Diecast collectors in Korea are participating.

This is a recruitment post for those who want to participate from overseas.

I am writing this because I have heard that people from overseas would also like to participate.

In 2024, matches will be held in the Swiss system format with 8 teams once every 1-2 months for a year.

The top four teams in the first season's games automatically qualify for the next season's games, and four teams are selected each season to compete one more time.

A car that has participated once can be considered to continue participating if its performance is good.

I had a lot of concerns because courier delivery from overseas to Korea took a long time and was expensive.

Once you ship your vehicle, unfortunately, it is difficult to retrieve it.
However, if the performance is good and the game continues, simple maintenance such as graphite powder work can be done by contacting us through Facebook message.

Penalties/DNF

Cars that fail to run or fit on the track, or that happen to break during racing, will forfeit their matches. Cars that arrive broken will attempt to be minimally repaired before the racing begins. Cars that break during racing will not be repaired or replaced.

Due to overseas shipping issues, vehicle recovery is not possible.
I'm really sorry.

The top four teams will have a garage diorama with their team logo on display in the stadium.

We will design our own personal logo for everyone who participates.
