GEEKE Racing Team Pingtan wins the podium

In the 2024 TOYOTA GAZOO Racing China GR86 Cup Pingtan Station held from August 29 to September 1, Shi Wei (Tiedou) of the GEEKE Racing Team continued to move forward in the challenges and won the pole position of the Excellence Group (AT Group) and the runner-up in the first round.

Return with passion, challenge the streets of Pingtan

Shi Wei (Tiedou) is one of the drivers who witnessed the creation of the event and won good results in the simulation competition of the Qinhuangdao official test.

She returned to the track in Pingtan, challenging the extremely challenging Pingtan Ruyi Lake International City Circuit. Shi Wei (Tiedou) said before the race that Pingtan is a test of the driver's courage: "Pingtan is a street circuit, it will be bumpy when running, the buffer zone is relatively small, and you have to turn close to the wall, which is a big challenge for all drivers. The team made many adjustments for the bumpy road before the race, and I need to overcome my psychological fear and pay attention to the stability of the performance in the race."

Winning the pole position and the podium

The qualifying race of the Pingtan station was held in high temperature. Despite the challenges in qualifying and the poor condition of the car due to the accident, Shi Wei (Tiedou) still won the pole position in the first round of the Excellence Group (AT Group) and the second place in the second round with his outstanding performance.

Shi Wei (Tiedou) said after the qualifying: "I feel that I haven't performed well enough and I am still in the process of adapting to the tires. In the first qualifying, I had a collision before I started to hit the lap time, which was a pity. In the second qualifying, my car was not completely repaired. The car was well restored, but the rear of the car tended to slip easily. In addition, I started the car late, so I didn't find many windows for the flying lap. My qualifying performance still has room for improvement, and I look forward to a stable performance in the race! "

The first round of the finals started at a high temperature of over 30 degrees Celsius. Shi Wei (Tiedou) had a fierce duel with his opponent after the start, and finally successfully climbed onto the podium of the Excellence Group (AT Group) and won the runner-up. The second round was also a hot battle. Shi Wei (Tiedou) and his opponent presented a wonderful confrontation, and finally finished the race in fifth place in the group.

GEEKE team finished the Pingtan journey with a podium performance. We look forward to this strong team achieving better results in the final battle in Zhuhai.
