On October 13, the CTCC China Touring Car Championship Zhuhai round concluded, with Han Han delivering an outstanding performance in qualifying to secure pole position. He then led the entire race to claim the Zhuhai round victory, redeeming his disappointment from the season opener when mechanical issues sidelined him. As the host event, CAMEL Camel was on-site to cheer on its endorser Han Han and share in the joy of his dominant win.
Back in Zhuhai to Avenge the Season Opener Exit
The 2013 China Touring Car Championship kicked off in Zhuhai, but the season’s first race wasn’t a fond memory for 2012 double champion Han Han in his title defense. Before the season, due to rule changes, the Shanghai Volkswagen 333 team boldly switched to a new racing chassis—being the first to try something new requires courage to face the unknown. In the opener, Han Han regrettably couldn’t compete because the new No. 6 car wasn’t properly tuned in time. But as the season progressed, the new chassis began to show its strength. Han Han humorously remarked, “As the team that dared to try the crab, we’ll definitely reap rewards—just look at the recent crab season.”
Speaking of crabs, Han Han came down with gastroenteritis due to a cold and eating spoiled food before the Zhuhai round. He arrived in Zhuhai just in time for qualifying and even missed the pre-race car setup. But thanks to his solid skills and full team support, he still performed brilliantly despite being unwell, securing pole and going on to win the main race. At the Chengdu round, Han Han mentioned that this year’s CTCC season is tough, with some races clashing with the national rally schedule. This forced the two-front campaigner to balance fatigue and priorities. Reportedly, due to scheduling conflicts, this Zhuhai round was Han Han’s final circuit race of the 2013 season. With a lackluster first half, he focused more on helping his team defend its overall title. This season-ending win reaffirmed his prowess—a high-stakes victory that adds crucial momentum to his team’s championship bid.
