Designed for the 2025 Inje World Challenge (TCR World Tour), this trophy transcends a mere symbol of victory to become a 'monumental object' reflecting the unique identity of Inje. It draws inspiration from the majestic mountain ranges formed over hundreds of millions of years and the resilient birch forests of the region.

The core concept, 'Mountain-Forged Circuit,' embodies the dramatic 40m elevation change of the Inje Speedium, Korea's only mountain-terrain circuit, through topographical contours and textures. By harmonizing natural elements (birch wood) with technical precision (gold-plated copper), the design creates a narrative of a race directly sculpted by nature itself.
