As the name suggests, the unified competition is a unified specification event, and the specifications and performance of the participating vehicles are consistent, which tests the driver's driving ability, focusing on direct competition between drivers, rather than relying on the "money ability" of "burning money" to change the car.

The GR86 Cup has been promoted in North America and Japan for many years and has been loved by many racing enthusiasts, and this launch in China is expected to further lower the threshold for domestic racing fans to participate in professional events.

Lynk & Co 03+ Unified Competition

In recent years, domestic automobile events have developed rapidly, from the high-level CTCC, TCR China to the CEC China Automobile Endurance Championship, and then to Geely Automobile's Geely Racing Academy, Lynk & Co 03+ Unified Regulation Competition, Dongfeng Fengshen Yixuan Racing Academy, etc., more and more users have begun to have the opportunity to contact automobile events. However, at this stage, there is still a high cost to participate in professional competitions. Taking the Lynk & Co 03+ Unified Race as an example, the competition has a total of 1 official test and 4 main races throughout the year, each race adopts a two-round system, and the total registration fee is 199,000 yuan (including car use, technician team service, tires and fuel consumption, etc.).

As more and more entry-level events are launched in the Chinese market, the threshold for ordinary users to participate in professional events is expected to be further lowered. For more information about the new car, we will continue to pay attention to it.
