The Toyota Gazoo Racing 6000 Class Round 4, the top-tier event of the '2026 O-NE Super Race Championship,' was held as a night race amidst heavy rain at Spedium in Inje, Gangwon Province, sparking fierce battles among teams and drivers. This race marked the season's first night race and took place on an extremely slippery road surface due to intense rainfall, presenting racers with a challenging environment that tested both their limits and technical capabilities comprehensively.

The undisputed protagonist of the day was Lee Chang-wook of Kumho SL Motorsports Team. Starting from pole position with the fastest qualifying time, Lee maintained the lead throughout the final race without relinquishing it even once, crossing the finish line first to achieve a 'Pole to Win' by dominating both qualifying and the final. This accomplishment added another chapter to his historic streak of achieving Pole to Win in all four races held since the season opener, solidifying his status as the undisputed 'Emperor of the Night.' Notably, Lee recorded the fastest lap time not only in Rounds 1 through 3 but also in this Round 4, even under the worst conditions of a wet track, thereby securing the 'Fastest Lap' title and demonstrating overwhelming performance.

The battle for second place was equally fierce. Veteran Hwang Jin-woo of Junpitdi Racing Team secured second place with his most impressive result of the season through skillful race management, standing on the podium. Following him, Lee Jung-woo of Kumho SL Motorsports Team claimed third place with steady driving, resulting in the top three podium positions being filled consecutively by teams sponsored by a specific tire manufacturer.

This Round 4 proved that the ability to handle wet (Wet) road surfaces caused by heavy rain was the absolute key to determining victory or defeat. Drivers competed under extreme waterlogged conditions, racing on dedicated wet-weather tires while maintaining intense focus to preserve grip on the track surface. Ultimately, the results showed that a specific technical capability delivered overwhelming driving stability in wet race environments: drivers from one team swept positions 1 through 4 in qualifying and claimed all top six spots in the final race. This round offered motorsports fans an exhilarating showdown, blending the precise skills of drivers who pushed beyond their limits under adverse conditions with exceptional tire performance.
