Elite Group (MT): Wang Hao advances all the way and wins another victory

According to the draw results after the first round, the top six in the first round final will start in reverse order in the second round. There were occasional showers in Ningbo on Sunday, and the second round final started in dry conditions. Lin Lifeng, who started from the third row, started quickly and broke through to the leading position after the start of the race. Hu Hanzhong, who started from the seventh place, also had an excellent start and successfully attacked the front row and followed Lin Lifeng forward. Lin Qi of the Leo team was third in the whole field.

Hu Hanzhong then launched a fierce offensive, while Lin Lifeng built a tight defense to defend the top spot. The two cars fought for a long time, and exciting scenes of close combat and side-by-side cornering were frequently staged.

In addition to the first group, the cars behind also frequently staged fierce competition. Lyu Yan of the Leo team gradually caught up with Lin Qi, who was holding the third place, and after a battle, he surpassed him, and Lin Qi immediately launched a counterattack. At the same time, Wang Hao also caught up with the car from the back and joined the battle, presenting a good show of three cars fighting.

With unremitting attacks, Hu Hanzhong finally broke through Lin Lifeng's defense and came to the first place in the whole field. Wang Hao, who was in a strong momentum, attacked all the way and caught up with Hu Hanzhong to start a duel for the championship. Raindrops began to fall in the second half of the race. Wang Hao surpassed Hu Hanzhong to come to the first place in the whole field, and maintained his lead until the moment of crossing the finish line, and once again won the Elite Group (MT) championship trophy. Wang Hao also achieved a perfect weekend this weekend by taking pole position and winning both rounds.

Wang Hao said after the race: "My start today was not very smooth. I fell to the back after the start. I then focused on my driving, tried to increase the lap time, and tried to catch up and successfully surpassed my opponent. The rain intensified in the last few laps of the race, and I kept the rhythm and brought it back smoothly. Thanks to all the staff of the team and the organizers of the event!"

Hu Hanzhong won the runner-up in the elite group (MT), and achieved a better performance than the Shanghai station. Lin Lifeng won the third place in the Elite Group (MT). Lifeng Racing also achieved all members on the podium in two rounds in this station again.

Excellent Group (AT): Lv Sixiang broke through and reached the top

The second round of the Excellence Group (AT) was also extremely fierce. Wang Haosen took the lead in the group at the beginning of the game, and then Lv Sixiang surpassed to the first place in the group with his outstanding performance.

The two drivers competed in the race. Wang Haosen once successfully overtook, but Lv Sixiang then regained the first place, and the championship duel was close. In the end, Lv Sixiang was better, crossed the finish line first in the group, and won the championship trophy. Wang Haosen overcame the trouble of mechanical failure and won the runner-up in the group.

Lv Sixiang, who won the first championship of the season, thought that this round was very exciting and he benefited a lot from the game. "I think this round of the finals was very exciting. I had a good start and successfully rushed to the front. The fight between Wang Haosen in front and other group opponents provided me with an opportunity to chase. I successfully came to the first place in the group, and also encountered attacks from other drivers. I think Wang Haosen is a very experienced driver, and the offensive and defensive duel between us also gave me a new learning opportunity. The rain intensified in the last stage of the race, and I finally won the championship without any danger. I am very happy."

Shi Wei (Tiedou) swept away the haze of the first round in this round. She started from the 12th place of the whole field, and after the start of the race, she caught up and quickly rushed to the top three in the group. Afterwards, Shi Wei (Tiedou) played steadily all the way, firmly maintained the top three in the group, and finally won the third place in the group.

In addition to the exciting competition, Toyota's high-performance brand TOYOTA GAZOO Racing also brought the TOYOTA GAZOO Racing PARK (abbreviated as "TGR PARK") international IP theme event on Sunday.

TGR PARK is based on the theme of "Let people of all ages enjoy the fun of cars". It brings rich activities such as live viewing, car dance performances, fan gatherings, gymkhana challenges, and track tours. Together with the event, it creates a colorful racing weekend for GR fans.

So far, the second station of TOYOTA GAZOO Racing China GR86 Cup 2025 has come to a successful conclusion. The next stop will be in Ningbo, and we look forward to another exciting race by the racing elites.
