First Tournament at Gimcheon Gaeryeong-myeon Off-Road Racing Track

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Park Dong-wook] Gimcheon City, Gyeongbuk Province, announced on the 15th that it will hold the "1st Gimcheon Off-Road Korean Championship" over two days on the 18th and 19th at the Off-Road Stadium in Gaeryeong-myeon, Gimcheon.

This competition will be held in three categories: UTV (Utility Task Vehicle), ATV (All-Terrain Vehicle), and Motocross.

It is expected to showcase dynamic races that fully display the dynamic and powerful charm of off-road. After the races, there will be an SC car citizen experience event, a racing model photo time, and a lucky draw.

Off-road, still unfamiliar to the public, refers to race competitions held on uneven unpaved roads with dirt, sand, gravel, etc. Vehicles used in off-road are mainly buggies and trucks. Its appeal lies not in high speed but in the ability to jump and drive while kicking up dust and wind. Recently, it has been gaining popularity among young people in Korea.

Kim Chung-seop, Mayor of Gimcheon, said, "I hope this first-ever competition held in Gimcheon will serve as an opportunity to expand off-road sports into various fields," adding, "We will spare no effort to provide maximum support to ensure the competition proceeds safely."
