Kim Tae-won of Proceed won the 'EXXA GT-200' class in the opening round of the '2018 Nexen Speed Racing' (sponsored by Nexen Tire, hosted by Korea Speed Racing) held on the 15th at the Korea International Circuit (1 lap = 3.045 km) in Yeongam, Jeollanam-do, with a pole-to-finish. It was the class that finished most smoothly among the classes that competed that day.
Kim Tae-won recorded the fastest lap time of 1 minute 29.411 seconds in the 'EXXA GT-200' qualifying round held in the morning, standing on the pole position, and crossed the finish line without losing the lead even once in the final held in the afternoon (22 minutes 42.224 seconds). Jae-kwang Yoo (Best Make, 2 minutes 43.504 seconds) followed Tae-won Kim, and Tae-ho Kim (SK Zik Racing Team & Club Chevy), who started the finals from the 6th grid, finished in 3rd place (22 minutes 43.936 seconds), creating an upset.
The 'GT-200' class, one of the main events of Nexen Speed Racing, has changed its title sponsor starting this year. Universal Oil, which will sponsor the Nexen Speed Racing GT-200 class starting this year, is a lubricant and grease production company founded in 2004. The 'EXXA RACER Engine Oil' introduced through Nexen Speed Racing is EXXA's top-line racing-only engine oil manufactured with proprietary ester synthetic oil.
Kim Tae-won, who won the opening race, said, “In the third section of the 10th lap, there was oil on the circuit, so I spun and almost collided with the driver behind me, but I was able to avoid the accident thanks to the radio from my teammates. I will focus on completing the race since I will have to serve a pit stop penalty in the second round.”
Regarding the EXXA engine oil used in the race that day, he said, “Its performance in maintaining steady acceleration was not at all inferior to other oils. I checked the oil after completing 14 laps, and it was in such good condition that I could use it in the next round. After adding the oil, the noise was reduced and the car was very smooth.” He expressed his satisfaction.
