Breaking the haze, returning to the podium

The second round of the Ningbo Grand Prix final was once again staged under high temperatures. Hu Hanzhong started from 11th place and quickly moved up to third in the Elite Class (MT) with a strong start, engaging in a lengthy cross-class battle with his opponent ahead.

Hu Hanzhong aggressively pursued the field, setting a new fastest lap time and later joining the fierce three-car duel. In the second half of the race, Hu Hanzhong maintained a steady pace, ultimately maintaining third place in his class until the finish line. He secured third place in the Elite Class (MT) this round, achieving his third consecutive podium finish.

Hu Hanzhong said after the race: "In the first round of this event, I encountered a track incident at the start and did not complete the race. In the second round, I started from the second-to-last row of the field and smoothly moved to the front, then continued to advance at my own pace. I pushed hard in the first half of the race and even set the fastest lap, but this also caused excessive tire wear, so I focused on playing steady in the second half. The event organizers held a great race in Ningbo. I was able to unlock the Ningbo International Circuit through these two rounds and I'm looking forward to the next race."

LEVEL Motorsports finished the Ningbo race with a podium finish. The next stop of the TOYOTA GAZOO Racing China GR86 Cup 2025 will be in Chengdu. We look forward to another exciting performance from LEVEL Motorsports.
