China's First New Energy Car Racing Track in Zhengzhou Opens, BYD Builds "Golden Triangle"
【Reporter: DING Yangtian, Written by: Ran Heng, Li Bo, Photography: Li Yunchuan】 Following the launch of the mass driverless era, BYD has now taken a crucial step – building a racing track for the masses. On August 14th at 19:00, the opening ceremony of BYD's Zhengzhou Racing Track was held. BYD Group's brand and public relations manager, Li Yunfei, arrived on site in an U9 car, wearing racing gear to introduce the highlights of the racing track.
As China's first new energy car all-terrain racing track, it brings together various terrain scenarios, such as off-road areas, racetracks, floating navigation areas, sand dunes, and simulated ice roads, making it a "condensed version of national geography."
From hardcore technology to market validation, and then to new energy car culture output, BYD is working through forward-looking strategic positioning to achieve continuous upgrading and balance art between culture and business.
Racing Track Highlights Concentrate, Transcending National Geography
"All-Mass Racing, All Fun, Helping Hundreds of Thousands to Experience the Thrill!" This is Li Yunfei's bold promise on site.
Unlike traditional racing tracks with single-track designs, BYD's Zhengzhou Racing Track condenses China's northeast snow and ice, northwest sand dunes, and southwest mountains into a single track, transforming it into an all-terrain racing track for the masses.
Here, you'll find a sand dune area that breaks Guinness world records with a vertical height of 28.6 meters and an area of over 3,600 square meters, the world's highest and largest sand dune experience zone; a low-friction road that allows ordinary people to effortlessly drift at high speeds; a simulated ice road project inspired by northeast China's snow and ice roads, teaching new drivers how to quickly adjust their vehicle's position and avoid rollover dangers; a water navigation pool with a maximum depth of 1.8 meters and length of approximately 70 meters, demanding high requirements for vehicle sealing and electric motor independent drive systems; an off-road area with 27 complex terrain features, including a 42-degree slope; and a racing track with a total length of 1,758 meters, featuring the longest straight line acceleration section at 550 meters, among other attractions.
As a racing track that brings together various terrain scenarios and functions, the reporter's first-hand experience at the track was overwhelming. When driving the Fangge P5 through a 42-degree slope, the reporter's heart was pounding with excitement, but the instructor calmly said, "This slope is completely controllable for this vehicle."
In addition, the U8 car demonstrated its floating navigation and sand dune climbing abilities on site, showcasing revolutionary performance. The Z9GT model utilized "cloud traction-A" intelligent air suspension system and "easy three-way" technology to optimize its stability during cornering on low-friction roads, making its performance readily accessible.
As for the price, it's reasonable and competitive in the market.
