Two cars competed in the final CEC race, 326 Racing Team stepped onto the podium!

From November 1st to 3rd, the final round of the 2024 CEC China Endurance Championship was held at the Zhuhai International Circuit. The 326 Racing Team participated again after the Pingtan Station and sent an Audi RS3 LMS TCR car to participate in the GT Cup TCE group and a Geely Binrui Super League car to participate in the International Cup 1600T group.

326 Racing Team is led by Liu Zichen, Qiu Yiheng and He Ruihao in the Audi RS3 LMS TCR racing cars participate in the GT Cup. Although the three drivers all have rich racing driving experience, it is the first time for them to drive TCR racing cars in Zhuhai.

The qualifying race was held on Saturday, and the 326 Racing Team won the TCE group pole position with a large single lap advantage. In the one-hour pre-finals that followed, the 326 Racing Team played stably and locked the victory early, and won the TCE pole position for the main race on Sunday.

Qiu Yiheng took the lead in the race on Sunday. In the 4-hour race, drivers need to reasonably allocate their physical energy and constantly adjust their driving status as the vehicle conditions change. Qiu Yiheng made a mistake during driving and the car rushed into the gravel buffer zone. Although it was not stuck and could continue to drive, the gravel also caused problems with the heat dissipation of the car. The team carried out maintenance and cleaning work while entering the pit to change drivers.

Liu Zichen took over the car in the second place. His first task was to help the team improve their ranking on the field and recover the losses caused before. He overtook the team all the way after falling behind by five laps, and overtook the team all the way back to the second place in the group with a large single-lap advantage. He then pitted under the safety car and handed the car over to his teammate He Ruihao.

After returning to the track, He Ruihao still wanted to push the car forward to make up for the lost position before, but the accurate grasp of the vehicle condition in the endurance race became particularly critical. Due to the accident in the first leg of the start phase, the rear brake of the car became unstable. He Ruihao rushed into the gravel buffer zone. After the track rescue, he returned to the maintenance area, but lost a lot of time.

Finally, Liu Zichen returned to the car and started chasing again. Due to the relatively large gap with his opponent and the absence of the safety car, he finally finished the Zhuhai Station in the third place in the TCE group. The 326 Racing Team once again stepped onto the podium of CEC.


The Audi RS3 LMS TCR racing car of the 326 Racing Team uses the shock absorber provided by ZF. The team has tested the performance of this shock absorber in many previous CTCC competitions. This time, it came to the domestic endurance race to better test the performance of the shock absorber.

Liu Ning, Zhao Shiyan and Li Han, who participated in the national group 1600T group, also performed well in the CEC race weekend while driving the Geely BinYue Super Geely League car. As the founder of the 326 Racing Team, Liu Ning actively participated in the Super Geely League Pro League, CTCC Sports Cup and other events this year, and achieved many excellent results driving the same car. Li Han, also as one of the drivers of the 326 Racing Team Super Geely League Pro, transformed from sprint races to experience endurance races. After Zhao Shiyan and the team completed the SEC 12-hour endurance race together, they set out again.

The Geely BinYue Super Geely Run Pro racing car is equipped with a 1.6T engine and innovatively uses a sequential gearbox. As a standard racing car, the 326 Racing Team pioneered the idea of bringing the car into the CTCC Sports Cup to compete with cars of different groups. This is the first time that this car has come to the CEC arena. The 326 Racing Team has made all kinds of preparations to test the limits of the vehicle.

After two days of fierce competition, the No. 326 car achieved a good result of eighth in the whole field and fourth in the 1600T group, achieving such an excellent result among many veteran models of endurance races.

So far, 326 Racing The team has finished the challenge of CEC Zhuhai Station. The team will make some adjustments and go to Macau to participate in the 71st Macau Grand Prix at the Guia Circuit, and compete with the world's top players again!
