I’ve failed you dear readers. The third installation of the Racing Model Billiard Championships — Korea vs. Russia started a few weeks ago and I haven’t brought you a single update. You can find the main site here, which has a little TV preview and photos of the participants.
Here’s some coverage of the individual matchups (maybe NSFW). Yes, this is covered by some media outlets in Korea. You can find more here, here, here, here and here.
As you can see in the above photo there’s a new wheel of fortune component that’s been added for this season that adds a PG-rated component to the matches. To get the gist of how that works see this photo.
And just for you nostalgic types — here are some photos from past competitions.

YES! Now THIS is news!! The wheel of fortune is an inspired touch. I think this should be the main focus of your blog from now on.

3/4 of them look Korean. Are they ethnic Koreans from Russia?

I have a question. Why are racing models so popular in Korea when racing isn’t?

Yes, race queens!!

I would hate to be a race queen. The pay is shit, and you have nerds staring at you all day.

I however, would love to frak a Korean race queen, and then punch her in the face, as respect for their culture and tradition.

Wait, IronChef, I’m confused. Are you dissing Korean culture, or race queen culture? Because I sure hope you’re not dissing race queen culture…
