A Race of Two Halves

From heaven to hell — sometimes it takes nothing more than a single pit stop. That was the story of Race 2 in Shanghai, and as hard as it is to accept, we gave everything we had.

The opening stint was nothing short of perfect. We led from the front, commanding the race with consistency and control — P1 in class and P4 overall. That rhythm on track, when everything flows and the car responds exactly as you need it to, is the purest form of racing joy.

But fortune had other plans for us today.

The Moment Everything Changed

At the driver change, the car suffered a sudden electrical failure. It simply would not restart. In that instant — watching the car sit motionless in pit lane while the field streamed past — all the late nights, the preparation, the investment, and the pressure of competition collapsed into a single, silent moment of disbelief.

A generator failure after the driver swap. That was all it took for a likely podium to slip through our fingers.

We retired from the race. It's a brutal sentence to write — and an even harder one to live in the moment. The trophy we had within reach was gone.

This Is Motorsport

This is racing. It is brutal, relentless, and unforgiving. But that is also precisely why it is so captivating. Until the chequered flag falls, you never know what answer the race will give you.

A huge thank you to co-driver Jackson and the entire team for their unwavering support throughout the weekend. The effort from every single person in the garage was immense, and that commitment does not go unnoticed or unappreciated.

Looking Ahead: Ningbo

Shanghai was the opening round of this season — not the final chapter. Following the race, the team conducted a thorough teardown of the GT3, running the most comprehensive inspection possible to understand the failure and ensure it cannot happen again.

We leave Shanghai with frustration but also with resolve. The disappointment stays here. The lessons come with us.

Round 2. Ningbo. We'll be back stronger.

 

一場截然不同的兩段賽事

從天堂掉到地獄，或許只需一個進站的時間。上海站 Race 2，我們真的盡力了。

第一個 Stint 我們跑得非常完美——一路領跑，穩穩拿下分組 P1、全場 P4 的位置。那種在賽道上掌控一切的節奏感，是賽車運動帶給人最純粹的快感。每一個入彎、每一段直道，車輛的回應都恰到好處，一切都在我們的掌握之中。

但運氣今天沒有站在我們這邊。

一切改變的那一刻

進站換手時，車輛突然發生電系故障，無法啟動。就在那一瞬間——看著靜止不動的賽車停在維修通道，而車陣從身旁呼嘯而過——無數個熬夜備戰的夜晚、團隊投入的所有心血，以及背後每一分巨大的資源與現實壓力，全部在那片刻凝固成難以置信的沉默。

當發電機故障、換手後無法發動的那一刻，我們與即將到手的獎盃就此擦身而過。

最終，我們只能無奈退賽。看著努力付諸流水，心裡真的很五味雜陳。

這就是賽車

這就是賽車。它無比殘酷，卻也讓人著迷。不到方格旗揮下的那一秒，你永遠不知道會給出什麼答案。正是這份不確定性，讓賽車運動如此令人無法自拔。

謝謝隊友 Jackson，以及車隊在這個週末的全力支援。每一位在維修區付出心力的人，你們的投入我們都看在眼裡、銘記於心。

展望下一站：寧波

上海開幕戰是這回合的終點，但絕不是我們今年賽季的句點。賽後，我們已經將整台 GT3 進行了大部分解，重新做最徹底的檢查，確保徹底了解故障原因，杜絕同樣的問題再次發生。

我們帶著挫折離開上海，但同樣帶著更強的意志。把失落留在上海，收拾好裝備，帶著學到的教訓繼續前行。

第二站。寧波。我們會帶著更強的狀態回來！
