On January 10, the Circuit Hero 700km Endurance Race came to an end at Zhuhai International Circuit. After five hours of fierce competition, the No. 81 Lai Jingwen/Huang Chuhan team of the NewFaster Racing Team crossed the finish line with 147 laps and won the fourth place in the race and the runner-up in Group A. After the GIC 10-hour endurance race, they won the prize on the stage again . However, the #82 Lai Zhiyuan/Cai Jiaming/Xie Peishan/Sun Junlong team was troubled by mechanical failures and failed to complete the race.
At the beginning of the race, Huang Chuhan, who started behind the two opponents, made a quick attack. After only two laps, he emerged as the leader in the fierce battle and once challenged the higher-spec GT cars. The dispatch of the safety car in the middle of the race slightly disrupted the team's strategic arrangement, which also made Lai Jingwen fall into a passive state of catching up after taking over the car.
The race continued, and Huang Chuhan and Lai Jingwen kept the car in the ranks of the competition for the group championship. Although the two tried their best to catch up with each other, it was a pity that they could not even out the disadvantages in the end. In the end, they finished 14.614 seconds It's next to nothing.
After completing two consecutive high-intensity endurance races, Huang Chuhan has high hopes for the team to continue to improve through gains and losses: "Participating in two endurance races at the beginning of the year is a good exercise for the team. We always hope to win The best result, unfortunately there are still some regrets, but it is still a good result to be on the podium. The low temperature weather in this race is very rare, so keeping the tires within the working temperature range is a very critical issue. Of course, Michelin The performance of the tires is very good, which gives the driver enough confidence to push forward. On the other hand, our new drivers who are in the growth stage have also collected good tuning data in the race. I hope we can find better in this regard in the future balance."
At the same time, Huang Chuhan also expressed his regret that another brother team failed to finish the race: "Although we have made great efforts to repair the vehicle, it is a pity that our other team still failed to join the competition. .This Fit GK5 racing car is still in the final stage of rebuilding, and the preparation time for the two consecutive races is still a bit hasty. I hope it can be restored to competitiveness as soon as possible.”
Lai Jingwen, who has little track experience, became more and more courageous in today's race. He admitted that the team's help has benefited him a lot: "I am very happy to have completed two endurance races with the NewFaster team at the beginning of the new year. Before running in GIC During the race, I was more comfortable and ran at my own pace, but the temperature in Zhuhai was much lower. From the practice match to today, I have not immediately entered the competitive state. It is also relatively conservative. But the team manager Sister Fang has been enlightening me in the middle of the race. In the end, I ran faster and faster, and ran the best performance of the day before crossing the line. The two races let me learn more experience, I hope In the future, I can train myself more and strive for better results."
