1. What is 981Park Jeju?

It's an activity perfectly suited for eco-friendly Jeju (제주).

There's no engine, no accelerator pedal.

It's Korea's first non-powered kart racing that runs

solely on gravitational acceleration.

📌 Top Speed: Up to 40km/h for a single-seater

📌 Pedals: Only a brake, no accelerator

📌 Scenery: You can see all the way to Biyangdo (비양도) from the track

Since there's no accelerator pedal,

you control your speed with the brake.

While you'll naturally pick up speed on downhill sections,

you need to brake appropriately on curves!

​

📖 Story of the Place

9.81 is named after gravitational acceleration (9.81m/s²). As you descend, you'll enjoy downhill racing with views of the Jeju sea, and on the way up, you can leisurely enjoy the uphill journey with automatic return, facing Hallasan (한라산).

The vehicles are our own technologically developed

GR (Gravity Racer) karts.

You can fully enjoy the racing experience

on tracks designed with banking and curves.

🎧 How to Experience

Install the 9.81 PARK APP and link your ticket to your account before riding. You can check your racing records, high-definition ride videos, licenses, and even battles all within the app.

※ Outdoor activities may be

temporarily suspended or ended early due to bad weather conditions.

On-site, I saw children enjoying the 2-seater karts

together with their parents.

It seems like a great option for families who want to enjoy

Jeju activities with their children! 😆

However, since the riding conditions vary

depending on the child's height and age, please make sure to check before booking!

---

📌 Course Difficulty:

Course 3 Beginner, Course 1 Intermediate

Course 2 Upper-Intermediate, X Course Advanced

Course 3 has a 'Shout Game' mission.

Right after starting, if you shout loudly until 'BOOSTER' appears on the screen,

you'll get an initial acceleration boost! 😆

​

Make sure to check the safety rules.

📌 Selfie sticks are prohibited during driving and return.

📌 Keep seatbelts fastened until dismounting.

📌 Do not stop on the track.

If unavoidable, pull over to the side and call a safety officer.

3. Sunset Racing Experience Review

I enjoyed three rides of the Sunset Racing.

📌 Configuration: Course 1 → Course 1 → Course 2 order

📌 Boarding: Must be completed within 1 hour of your reservation time

📌 Reservation/Arrival: Reserved for Oct 16:20, arrived at 16:45

📌 Duration: Approximately 40 minutes for 3 rides (stay approx. 1 hour)

📌 Master License: Can only be challenged on Course 2

Course 1 (Intermediate)

offers a unique starting experience, smooth cornering,

and a thrilling banked curve at the end.

Course 2 (Upper-Intermediate)

dramatically changes in speed and record depending on your skill level.

Intense focus from start to finish!!!

The setup is designed for you to get the hang of it on Course 1,

then challenge for a Master License on Course 2.

Especially after finishing Course 2,

your record and ranking appear on the scoreboard.

Seeing your ranking instantly makes you feel like you're in a

real racing competition!!!

​

It unexpectedly brought out my competitive spirit,

and it was incredibly fun 😆

It wasn't difficult even without a driver's license.

At first, it felt a little slow and frustrating...

But once I got acceleration on the downhill,

I really felt the speed!!!

I booked the 16:20 slot in October, but

arrived late at 16:45...

But thankfully, I was able to ride without any issues 😅

However, arriving late might lead

to restrictions on use, so

I recommend arriving on time for your reservation!

​

Racing while watching the sunset made

the evening in Jeju (제주) truly beautiful.

📌 Jeju Sunset in November:

Early month approx. 17:42, Late month approx. 17:26

---

The sun sets earlier in November than in October.

If you want to race while watching the sunset,

book with plenty of time before the sunset and

arrive punctually!

On my second ride,

I got greedy and crashed...

Because of that, my driving video

wasn't saved 😭

Give me back my video...

It's such a shame!

💡 Heeheehohi's (히히호히) Travel Tip

My video wasn't saved after I crashed on my second ride. If you want to keep your video, don't push too hard for speed; brake appropriately and drive safely!

There's only one regret:

after riding three times, I finally got the hang of it

and felt like I could do even better, but

then it was over...

It does feel a little expensive. 😒

But it was so much fun that it was worth every penny!!!
