The battle of the gods reappears, and the modern world is divided into two parts

Today, the TCR China Championship, where all the heroes gathered together, reappears the "battle of gods". The defending champion Cao Hongwei and Xie Xinzhe, who started from the pole position, fought each other at close quarters. Later, Cao Hongwei took the lead. After the launch of the safety car, he also held the first place. Finally, he won the first championship of the new season, demonstrating the stability and extraordinary personal strength of the Elantra N TCR car to the extreme.

The defending champion won in the first place, and the LinkedIn team did not lose. Zhang Zhiqiang started from the second row in this round and competed with Wu Yifan, Xie Xinzhe and other elite players for many times, presenting multiple rounds of high-level competitions for the audience. Zhu David, Wang Risheng and Zhu Juan also played steadily, finishing fourth, fifth and seventh respectively.

After the first round of competition, Cao Hongwei took the lead in the annual drivers' cup competition, and LinkedIn's team has more advantages in the team championship by virtue of the stability of all members. Hyundai Brand N and LinkedIn are close rivals, and the strong dialogue between manufacturers will continue. The absolute speed and steady performance of the two camps also show that the comprehensive strength of the manufacturer's team is still at the top of the mountain, and TCR China Championship has always been the benchmark of China's professional racing competitive level.

One hundred racing cars play the leading role in the same club

This year, while CTCC continues to win the favor of manufacturer teams and professional fighters, many racing clubs and newcomers in the auto industry also begin to play the leading role. Since the start of this competition, CTCC has implemented a more diversified division of groups. TCR China has been divided into two major groups: TCR China Championship and TCR China Challenge. The team for the sports cup has also been further expanded.

At the opening ceremony in Zhuzhou, the CTC attracted 64 cars and 21 clubs to participate in the competition, and more than 100 cars gathered in the joint competition. Among the huge team, the drivers of the club are particularly eye-catching, including Wu Juecheng, Li Guanghua and other drivers who are active in regional events, as well as Huang Caisheng and other generals who "go out" from the electric racing cars. After completing their experience in their respective fields, they stepped onto the stage of CTCC and kept moving up in the fierce competition.

In addition, Xie Xinzhe, Lu Sihao, Wu Yifan, Liu Zichen, Pan Dejun and other famous players also participated in the competition of the new season with the help of professional clubs, and shone in the fierce competition.

Wu Yifan, from the 326 auto sport, burst out a strong strength in the TCR China Championship, which was full of experts in the technical class. Not only did he guard against Zhang Zhiqiang's attack at the beginning of the competition, but later he gained the upper hand in the competition with Xie Xinzhe, and finally won the runner up of the whole game. From qualifying into the top three, to being on the podium, Wu Yifan, who has been honed by CTCC for many years, has entered the ranks of first-class professional drivers in terms of single lap speed and offensive and defensive duels.

Lead and strengthen the fundamental strength of racing from the height of rules

As a national event, in the face of the rise of folk racing forces, CTC has the obligation to provide in-depth guidance and encouragement. To further stimulate the competitive enthusiasm of the club team, TCR China has set up the "Club Driver Cup" and "Club Cup" this season, which are awarded to the club drivers and the winners of the team respectively, and encourage the participation of the club team from the rule level.

The participation of automobile manufacturers has laid a professional and authoritative tone for CTCC, and introduced top-level technical and commercial resources for the event; The collective explosion of the club team, which represents the foundation of automobile sports, is a witness to the vitality and potential of China's racing today.

Two groups of excellent and non-stop masters show strength in turn

Looking back at the race on Saturday, TCR China Championship and TCR China Challenge both presented a wonderful fight in the whole process, and the manufacturer's generals and gentleman riders created their own highlight moments.

In the first TCR China Challenge, Liu Zichen achieved a breakthrough, and achieved his first full court championship and Pole to Win achievements with steady play.

The competition outside the podium is also wonderful. Li Jiaxi and Lv Zhenming, standing at the threshold of the podium, had a long battle of attack and defense, and Li Guanghua, Lin Zhishan and Wu Juecheng of the midstream group also had a fierce three car fight. In the second half of the game, Li Guanghua stood out in the tangled fight and pursued Li Jiaxi. The two sides staged a tense offensive and defensive battle, leading alternately and becoming the focus of the game.

Thanks to the accurate new grouping, a group of gentlemen drivers can open a close dialogue with rivals, and get more media exposure and attention inside and outside the industry. Zhu Yan, the runner up of this round of TCR China Challenge, said: "I have a lot of fights with my opponent in this game. The new division of groups is very good, giving us more opportunities for rapid improvement."

The first battle of the year without fear of wind and rain
