Round 1: Two heroes attack and win the championship

In Ningbo, Lifeng Racing welcomed the return of Wang Hao, and the golden combination of Wang Hao and Lin Lifeng appeared in this event again. In the qualifying stage, Lifeng Racing had a dazzling performance. Wang Hao won the pole position in the tense lap battle, and Lin Lifeng also achieved a good result of fourth place in the whole field.

The first round of the finals in Ningbo Station started in high temperature. Wang Hao was overtaken at the start, but he then overtook to the top of the field. After two safety car deployments, he also maintained the first place and finally crossed the finish line first to win the championship.

Lin Lifeng continued to attack after the start, overcame the high temperature and successfully came to the second place in the field. He also resisted the fierce attack of his opponents in the final stage of the race and finally won the runner-up of the elite group (MT).

Wang Hao said after the race that focusing on personal performance was the key to victory: "My overall performance in this round was pretty good, and I was lucky. My start was not very good, and I was overtaken by my opponent after the start. Then I focused on my personal driving, found the right opportunity to overtake to the first place, and then gradually opened up the gap. The two safety car deployments in this round also brought more challenges to the race. I am very happy to bring back the championship safely."

Round 2: Fierce battles and another victory

Round 2 started in uncertain weather. According to the draw after the first round, the top six in the first round finals started in reverse order in the second round. Wang Hao's start was not smooth, and he slipped to the back after the start. However, Wang Hao quickly adjusted his state and chased forward steadily, surpassing his opponents one after another and jumping to the first place in the whole field. In the end, Wang Hao won the Elite Group (MT) championship trophy again, and achieved a perfect performance of winning the pole position and the two-round championship.

Lin Lifeng quickly rushed to the leading position in the whole field after the start of this round, and staged a long offensive and defensive duel with his opponent. For the sake of tire management, Lin Lifeng adjusted his pace in the second half of the race and advanced at a steady pace. He finally stepped onto the podium again and won the third place in the elite group (MT).

Lin Lifeng said that the competition in this round was extremely fierce: "This round was very exciting. The first half of the race was dry, and the second half became a wet race due to rain. I was lucky to be the first at the start, and then I had a very fierce competition with my opponent. It was also because of the fierce competition that my tires wore out quickly, so in the second half I exchanged positions with my teammate and handed over the responsibility of competing for the championship to him. I also successfully maintained my position and crossed the finish line. I was very happy."

After the Ningbo race, Lifeng Racing has achieved four consecutive victories this season. We look forward to Lifeng Racing achieving greater success in the next race of TOYOTA GAZOO Racing China GR86 Cup 2025.
