Korea Super Prix

The International Formula 3 Korea Super Prix was a Formula Three race held annually on the streets of Changwon, South 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.
