Song Gyu-hwan of KIMA Racing lifted the championship trophy at FOMS Korea (Korea Motorcycle Sports Federation) 'AKRC (All Korea Road Racing Championship) Round 1'.

FOMS Korea held its first event of the year on the 26th at KIC (Korea International Circuit, a venue for F1 races) in Yeongam, South Jeolla Province. The event, hosted by FOMS Korea and organized by Korea Mobility Group, featured SB1000 (Superbike 1000cc class) races.

This event was significant as the first official stage to usher in a new era for motorcycle sports in South Korea. It was particularly important as an officially sanctioned competition registered on the FIM (Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme) official calendar. The races were conducted under the NMFP (National Meeting open to Foreign Participation) format, open to riders from around the world. Song Gyu-hwan's competitor Yoo Byung-ha (Moto Control) took second place, while Oh Seung-hyun (BMR) claimed third.

FOMS Korea President Won Seong-yeop said, "This AKRC Round 1 was meaningful as it marks a practical starting point for Korean motorcycle racing to be operated according to international standards," and added, "We will do our utmost to grow AKRC into a world-class race representing Asia."

Meanwhile, this event is expected to serve as a core pillar in building an Asian motorcycle sports ecosystem centered on Korea, including the upcoming MotoMINI series.
