Origins

K-Apex began life in 2009 as a sim-racing team, participating in national events before moving onto regional championships in 2012. They reached their peak in 2017, claiming titles in the Shenzhen, Seoul & Tokyo iRacing LAN-Prix as well as a 3rd place in the Polyphony Digital Fukuoka Invitational, a showcase for the then newly-released Gran Turismo Sport. It was in the latter two events that a young Kwon Sung-Tae shot to prominence, showing remarkable racecraft for his age, thus inspiring his father Kwon Ki-Hyon to bring the team from the world of eSports to real motorsport.
