Kang and Jung share
wins at Inje Speedium
Only five cars took part in TCR Korea’s
second event at Inje Speedium, where
Kang Byung Hui in the Indigo Racing
Hyundai i30 N and Jung Nam Su in the
Brand New Racing Volkswagen Golf GTI
won one race apiece.
Andrew Kim overtook pole sitter Noh
Dong Gi on the outside of T1 to take
the lead in the first race. During the
opening lap the five drivers delivered
some close fights, clashing and pushing
each other. Kang Byung Hui emerged in
second position behind Kim with Jung
Nam Su in third, followed by Noh and
Cho Hoon Hyun.
Soon the gaps began to grow and Kim
built a comfortable lead, but he was
under investigation for a jump-start
that resulted in a drive through
penalty that he served on the
penultimate lap, rejoining in third
position. He was able to overtake Jung,
but couldn’t catch Kang who won the
race.
In the second race, Kim stalled the
engine at the start and found himself
six seconds behind the rest of the field;
Cho was leading from Jung, Kang and
Noh. On lap 6 Jung attacked Cho, they
made contact and Cho spun and lost
contact. Kim overtook Noh for fourth
on lap 7, then passed Kang for third on
lap 8 and began to close in on Cho.
Kim moved up to second on lap 15 and
desperately tried to get closer to Jung
but eventually had to settle for second
position, nine tenths behind Jung,
while Cho handed third place to his
teammate Kang who retained the
leadership in the standings, two points
ahead of Kim.
TCR Korea’s inaugural season will come
to an end at Yeongam’s Korea
International Circuit on November 3
and 4.
