December 15, 2019, Malaysia’s Sepang circuit. After three games after the 30-minute race showdown, as well as a South East Asian sunset rainstorm, 2019 WTCR finally came to an end. As one of the leading domestic brands involved grams of Cyan team eventually to 628 points, ahead of second place 34 points advantage to get the team championship. Then grams collar team won the constructors’ championship WTCR, what does it mean?
01
three years ago, that is, 2016 October 20, Geely and Volvo in Berlin, Germany announced a new brand created by the two co – lead g car. And a year later, in 2017 November 28, collar released its first model grams – 01 grams of lead.
A few days later, in Paris, France. FIA WTCC FIA decided to World Touring Car Championship series combined with the international TCR, TCR and continue to follow the rules of the tournament, renamed the WTCR World Touring Car Championship. Since then WTCC gone, and the new WTCR event also became the F1, WEC (World Endurance Championship), WRC (World Rally Championship) with the level of global competition.
These two things seem nothing association, on October 19, 2018 had a intersection. In the same day, in addition to leading grams of high-profile public conference was held in Japan, 03 models, also announced that it will join hands Cyan team, the use of 03 grams of lead campaign 2019 annual WTCR game.
compared to the previous WTCC race for fairer competition, FIA established a very strict “budget cap” Act as WTCR game, in which a single race cars cost not more than 130,000 euros (about 1.04 million yuan), and strictly prohibits manufacturers directly involved in the development of the car which must be customer teams to compete.
In other words, that is, FIA total ban on manufacturers in order to win, individually designed a high-performance models to participate in the competition. And customer teams alsoAs much as possible to avoid the car manufacturers involved in the development and modification of them.
eventually lead grams WTCR 03 came into being on the basis of 03 common models on. However, because 03 grams of lead released too late, before research and development work has not been very sound, resulting in WTCR of winter testing because 03 WTCR just build a complete, compared to the other teams directly test lap, the Cyan team can only test a vehicle reliability, completeness of research and development and so on should be finalized before early thing.
Fortunately, the foundation 03 is fairly good, experienced team Cyan is also very rich, so there is no waste of valuable time this pre-season testing. The maximum power output of 350 events in full compliance with standards WTCR, while the 6-speed sequential gearbox for racing, it is the standard configuration. Furthermore, in order to reduce costs and comply with the rules, Cyan team did not change the form of suspension, but will replace a variety of aluminum alloy swing arm for lighter weight.
In the braking system, 03 WTCR also no different from ordinary kind modified car, in front of the six-piston brake calipers from AP Racing, while the back is AP Racing a caliper double piston and supporting a marking tape. It is no exaggeration to say that such a braking system modification, which is the ordinary “farm vehicle” level.
but the benefits of doing so in addition to helping the team to save money, but also let consumers know the true strength of your own vehicle. In the past we think the car is totally different with civilian vehicles, after may occur when WTCR, the gap between racing and road car is also completely broken. You see all the cars in the game, in fact, are converted from ordinary “shopping cart.” That money, anyone can create a table with 03 WTCR the same car.

Some people say the actual racing, race car is, not people. At first glance, this point was indeed true. But during the match, the drivers and the car is more like the relationship between fish and water. For example there are two cars, one of the performance is 90 minutes, a 100Performance points. But the opening 90 minutes the car was a top players, he can make this car has been maintained at the level of 90 points. In this case, if the driver 100 points racing driver is not stable, sometimes 100, sometimes 70 minutes, then it is likely to outperform the case of 90 points racing 100 racing occurs.
so the two top players Cyan team got a total of four car circle. Where Cyan “a team” in the fourth middot STCC Touring Car champion Ted; Bjork and Touring “old gun” Ivan middot; Muller led. Cyan “Rosso” is the third WTCC champion Andy middot; Caprio and Ivan middot; Muller’s nephew Yang middot; Ai Hela homes driving. It can be said, Cyan team almost got the four most powerful touring car player.
Panis racing
However, do not think other teams have no master. For example Comtoyou DHL TeamCupra Racing Team car driving in Cupra Oriflame middot; Honda Racing driver Olivier Panis and Tiago middot; Monteiro all the top players have played at the F1 Circuit. The Hyundai team Takui Ni is 2018 WTCR the drivers championship.

time came to the opening match of April 2019, WTCR 2019 season finally ushered in. Never would have thought that, “Cyan collar grams Bjork fleet, even won the championship in third longest distance race, so let people started to pay attention that this truly world-class touring car racing. [123 ]
Zandvoort in the Netherlands in the fourth leg of the race, but also lead grams for the first time invite Chinese media scene spectators when, Cyan collar grams of “a team” not only the first race pole position, for the third time (the first start) is obtained, but also have got the spot champion. but some people pointed out after the game he was led Cleveland with BOP rules to allow China to send news media .
In this case I have to mention that BOP the rules. For racing, the greatest fear is that too much of a team to dominate the game, causing the game boring, such as the current F1. So in the game WTCR, and on the introduction of BOP rules. At first everyone’s power and vehicle weight are the same, then if one party won a victory lap too fast or the game, then the next game will be aggravated by, or limit power output increased ground clearance the way the body to reduce its strength, and thus make the game more exciting.
The collar Katsuya took advantage of such a provision, after the results of the twenty-three station by a relative, to offset the first leg victory brought BOP punishment , so that when the fourth leg of the domestic media can report Xircom.
Although the collar grams to do a bit opportunistic, but when the end of the finale Malaysia, Cyan collar grams team to get the team championship, they became the most powerful proof good way. After all, in the case of the second three station “rescue”, but also get the constructors’ championship, 03 in the end be seen how strong WTCR racing strength!

In fact, back in 2014, which is the first season FE (formula e), the Wei to the team of Piquet (Nelson Piquet Jr.) to get the year the drivers’ championship. But in the first year of the FE adopted a unified standard car, so the gold content is not high, more of a collaboration between the driver and team results.
then McIlroy Jackie Chan DC team won the 24 Hours of Le Mans LMP2 category champion, once again inspired the Chinese fans. However, WEC LMP2 category of remains is still a unified standard game. In other words, this is a perfect driver and team collaborative effort.
but this time with lead grams of Cyan team won 03 WTCR racing is not the same. Although this time the Cyan team unfortunately did not get the drivers ‘championship, but to win the constructors’ championship is enough to show the strength of strong car. What’s more, leading grams 03 WTCR racing entirely from CMA architecture to build, and race is not as unified as to provide racing FE.So Cyan collar grams of this winning team is thoroughly rise of China!
Auto-linked in nature also know the mystery! Whether it is the first win of the season Wei to FE, still dominate the Le Mans 24-hour McIlroy Jackie Chan DC, did not give it sent a congratulatory message until after the Cyan team won the constructors’ championship lead grams, this country the name of the association was formally issued a congratulatory message!

Although the Chinese racing career started earlier, CTCC is a race run over a 10-year event, but compared to foreign world-class events, CTCC level of competition rules and penalties let those of us old fans unable to Tucao. Deliberately crash barrier and other harsh means, is not uncommon in the CTCC. I think it was because of this, Geely will directly choose such international events WTCR, after all, compared to the country, the international racing to be more “transparent”, but also a higher competitive level.
and as a veteran of my fans, the last ten years there has been a confusion, that is how to convince others to watch racing. After all, for a normal person, racing is a super boring sport, twenty or thirty cars out there circling crazy, completely out of the question have any fun.
When the collar can win grams, WTCR boarded the tournament even after trending, troubled me puzzled ten years finally solved, that is – idol charm . In fact, whether racing or other sporting event, you want to like it must have an idol, like a lot of people like about football, because of Beckham moon scimitar; like basketball, is shine because of Yao Ming in the NBA; as for the car is the same reason, you need an idol, their cheer, then you will feel the charm of the sport.
The collar grams now made such an example, let’s finally do not get lost in ocean racing, and find your favorite teams and drivers, thereby improving the status of motorsport in the country, people change lift the car only know the stereotype of F1!
As for the future outlook lucky, in fact, I also have aTheir own point of view. At present four international car races in F1 and WRC Geely should not participate, after all, belong to F1 is not proportional to the input and output of the game, and the WRC are too upset, lack confrontational. So in the end I think Geely will probably use Ruths brand to compete for the WEC, especially when the WEC switch to Hyper Car, this possibility is also higher.
As we all know, China has always been a country is not what car culture, natural concern for racing’s also less. Can lead grams of this win, thoroughly detonated domestic long-silent racing career, maybe in the future there will be more manufacturers to participate in global competition, which, instead of living in the comfort of their own circle. ” comfortable “life!
