Athletes who have recently won the grand prize race or regained their confidence by winning the final race for each round are active. Ahead of a series of big competitions in December (local competition selection, excellent competition, and Grand Prix race of the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism), we identified active players.

Yoon Seung-gyu (26, A2, Seoul Hannam), Kim Yong-tae (22nd, B1, individual Gyeonggi), and Kim Il-gyu (12th, B1, Daejeon) won the race for the starting level in the second half of this year. Yoon Seung-gyu tied for the title with Kim Yong-tae in the Busan Metropolitan City Mayor's Cup Special Race Selection Final on July 14. Since then, Yoon Seung-gyu has been running on Tantan-daero and has been on the list of top three winners several times, including one championship, by jumping back to the top level with a special promotion from August.

Kim Yong-tae is still at the starting level, but he is standing out by advancing to the final round every time he participates. Meanwhile, Kim Il-gyu set the stage for another leap forward by winning the race selection grade final for the 30th anniversary of the opening on October 13. Since then, it has been ranked first and second in each game, and experts say that it is possible to re-enter the excellent level in 25 years.

Choi Seok-yoon (24th, S3, Shinsa) and Eom Jung-il (19th, A1, Gimpo) won the race for the best class in the second half of the year. Choi defeated Lee Myung-hyun (16, A1, North Gwangju), who was considered a strong favorite, to win the Changwon Leports Park Special Race Final on Sept. 1. The spirit of victory also led to Gwangmyeong Speed Dome, where he won the championship and the runner-up title one after another, and re-entered the special class through special promotions. Even after the promotion, he is playing the role of a surprise winner. In addition to his unique strong desire to win, he is expected to continue his upward trend in the future, with confidence added to his special competition victory and special promotion.

Meanwhile, Eom Jung-il, like starter Kim Il-gyu, won the grand prize race held on Oct. 13. Since he beat his rivals Lee Jung-seok and Lee Myung-hyun to win the championship, he has shown a distinctly different appearance from before. Unfortunately, he failed to win the special promotion on November 24 (Sun), but he is considered a strong candidate for the best in Busan, and he is likely to re-enter the special grade in the upcoming rating adjustment.

In addition, it is also necessary to pay attention to the players who have recently won the final in Gwangmyeong, Changwon, and Busan to increase their confidence.

Starting players Ha Dong-sung (18th, B1, Changwon Sangnam), Park Ji-woong (26th, B1, Shinsa), Oh Dae-hwan (13th, B1, Gyeongnam individual), Cha Bong-soo (12th, B1, Changwon Seongsan), and Hong Hyun-ki (17th, B1, Paldang) completely recovered their confidence by winning the final. In the excellent class, Lee Sung-yong (16th, A1, Sinsa) has won six consecutive games across Busan and Gwangmyeong, and is speeding up to re-enter the special class. Lee Myung-hyun (16th, A1, North Gwangju), Yoo Seong-cheol (18th, A1, Jinju), and Jung Hyun-soo (26th, A1, Sinsa) also won the recent finals, so it is expected that they will perform well in the best competition.

Lee Geun-woo, chief of the expected luxury race competitor, said, `The above players recovered their skills and won the grand prize race in the second half of the year, raising their confidence a lot. "As we are expected to perform well in a series of big competitions at the end of the year, I think a careful look at these athletes will help us in reasoning about the race."
