1:10.647The International Formula 3 Korea Super Prix was a Formula Three race held annually on the streets of Changwon, Republic of Korea between 1999 and 2003. The event enjoyed brief success as a sister 'flyaway' event to complement the season-ending Macau Grand Prix, before being replaced in 2004 with an ultimately one-off Bahrain Superprix at the Bahrain International Circuit.
The Korea Super Prix will make a return in 2011, at the new Korean International Circuit.[1][2][3] It was due to host an event again in 2010 but this was cancelled due to "a legal technicality with the circuit" which surfaced just a few weeks before the race was due to run.[4]
