The sixth round of the CJ Logistics Super Race Championship 2023, Korea’s largest motorsports festival, will be held at the Korea International Circuit (KIC) in Yeongam-gun, Jeollanam-do, on March 23 and 24 as the ‘2023 Jeonnam GT’. Ahead of the sixth round of the Super Race, fans’ attention will be focused on the season championship in the top class, the Super 6000 class. After five rounds, Lee Chan-joon (XStar Racing – 86 points), Kim Jae-hyun (Nexen-Volgas Motorsport – 78 points) and Lee Chang-wook (XStar Racing – 70 points) are battling for first through third place in the driver standings.

Lee Chan-jun has moved up with a win in rounds two through three and a third-place finish in round three, while Kim Jae-hyun has increased his points with a second-place finish in rounds one through four and a win in round five, and Lee Chang-wook is catching up with wins in rounds one and four .With the final seven or eight rounds of the season set to be held as a double round at Yongin Everland Speedway on November 4-5, the outcome of the sixth round is expected to be a turning point in the season’s driver championship.
