Ningbo GYT Racing Team sets out for CTCC China Cup

From April 25 to 27, the CTCC China Automobile Circuit Professional League will kick off at the Shanghai International Circuit. Ningbo Jinyutu GYT Racing Team will lead two groups of drivers to participate in the fierce competition of the China Cup.

As the backbone of domestic motorsports, Ningbo Jinyutu GYT Racing Team has been active in the CTCC arena for the past three years. The drivers of the team won the annual runner-up and third place in Group D of the China Cup in 2024, fully demonstrating the team's outstanding contribution to cultivating newcomers and participating in motorsports, and injecting strong impetus into the development of Chinese motorsports.

For this CTCC, Ningbo Jinyutu GYT Racing Team sent two strong driver lineups to participate in the China Cup. The No. 77 team is composed of Tu Yat and Wang Honghao, who will drive the Audi RS3 TCR racing car to compete in the TCR group; and the No. 87 team is composed of Ren Yongxin and Xu Dan, who also have good strength.

Car No. 77: Drivers of Audi RS3 TCR Racing Car

Tu Yat and Wang Honghao of Car No. 77 are undoubtedly one of the highlights of this event. The Audi RS3 TCR racing car they drive, with its excellent performance and excellent handling, has become the key force for the team to hit the championship.

Wang Honghao said in an interview: "Last year, I participated in four CTCC races and was fortunate to win the group championship. For the first time, I felt the unique charm of the top domestic professional league. This year, I will participate in the whole year's competitions and hope to break through myself again." He admitted that he tried two TCR racing cars in the rain this year, but he has not accumulated enough dry mileage and needs more time to adapt to the TCR racing car.

He mentioned: "TCR racing requires more precise driving skills and vehicle perception, which prompted me to further improve my driving skills." Wang Honghao also said that he knew the GYT team very early and felt very honored to join the team this year. He hopes to achieve good results this year. Faced with the fierce situation of more than 30 cars competing on the same field, he hopes to finish every race smoothly and hit the annual championship of the TCR car group.

Tu Yat said that the decision to participate in CTCC with the GYT team was made because CTCC is the highest-level touring car competition platform in China, where there are top opponents. He has always longed for the CTCC arena and hopes to use this platform to test the results of last year's competition and strive to achieve good results in higher-level competitions. Tu Yat mentioned, "I have tried the TCR car in Ningsai, but compared with the rear-wheel drive car, the control of the front-wheel drive car is still a little unfamiliar." He hopes to find the limit of the car through more running-in before the race and improve his adaptability to the car.

Tu Yat also said, "GYT is more like a big family with responsibility and combat effectiveness. The team has made detailed plans and layouts for my competition this year. From car tuning to the team's full efforts, it has provided me with strong guarantees and great confidence." In the face of fierce competition, he will focus on his driving rhythm and strategy, not afraid of strong opponents, not giving up every opportunity, keeping calm and playing at the right level. The goal is to strive for the top three of the year and add a wonderful touch to his racing career.

A big family with both fighting power and sense of responsibility

Ningbo Jinyutu GYT Racing Team has always been known for its strong fighting power and high sense of responsibility. The team not only performed well in the competition, but also made great contributions in cultivating newcomers and promoting the development of racing. This year, the team will continue to uphold this concept and provide all-round support to the drivers to help them achieve excellent results in the CTCC arena.

From April 25 to 27, Shanghai International Circuit will become the focus of motorsports. Ningbo Jinyutu GYT Racing Team will go all out to attack the goal of championship. Let us look forward to their wonderful performance in the CTCC China Automobile Circuit Professional League!
