#RACING101 | Class has been opened again, please gather. This post is not aimed to humiliate @huli0108 or any person who left a reply, like @Mimmina36324003, @xiaozhan_libra, @redstarwyvern, @shiyingswife, and @hokukiss, but to educate them on this topic as they seem to lack knowledge, even though one of them is, allegedly, a fan of racing. Rain was forecast in Zhuhai yesterday, yet Yibo practice started normally. The second session began under heavy rain, also known as “wet conditions”. (P2) But what does it mean to race in wet conditions? Racing in wet conditions, or “rain racing,” is a unique and challenging aspect of motorsport that occurs when a track becomes wet due to rain or moisture. In these conditions, the grip between the tires and the road surface is significantly reduced, making it difficult to control the car. Drivers must deal with hazards like aquaplaning, where the tires lose contact with the track due to standing water, as well as longer braking distances and decreased visibility from water spray kicked up by other cars. The usual racing line becomes slippery, forcing drivers to seek alternative paths with more grip, often off the standard dry line. To succeed in wet racing, practice is a must. It's with practice that drivers can master car control in these conditions, as wet tracks often cause cars to slide or lose traction unexpectedly. Learning to race in wet conditions is essential for any driver. The weather is unpredictable, and races usually continue despite the rain, requiring drivers to adapt quickly. Mastering the art of racing in the rain not only enhances a driver's overall skill set but also increases safety, helping drivers reduce the risk of accidents in challenging weather. This is the second time Yibo has had the opportunity to race under these conditions, the first time being during his June sessions. It is of utmost importance that Yibo continues his training under dry and wet conditions, which is exactly what he was doing yesterday. Learning the “art of racing in the rain” is vital for every driver. On this occasion, Yibo managed to complete multiple laps under these conditions. On his last lap, he had already taken the curve and was prepared to exit it, but he spun over the track and onto the gravel. No one can criticize a driver for a spin, especially in wet conditions. In any series you’ll find cars spinning under these conditions, there are plenty of compilations and clips on social media. The only thing drivers will do is get back to their teams, debrief, learn, practice in the simulators, and keep pushing in the next race. Now, what is a gravel trap and what is the process of removing it from a car? (P3) Gravel traps are an essential safety feature in racing. These areas of loose gravel are placed around the perimeter of the track and serve to slow down cars that have gone off the racing line. When a car goes off the track and into a gravel trap, the high level of drag created by the gravel causes the car to slow down quickly. To achieve this, they have some recommended specifications. They are normally about 25cm deep and filled with spherical gravel stones of a diameter between 5 and 16 millimeters. What happens when a car ends up in the gravel? Most circuits follow the guidelines from the governing body, FIA, and Zhuhai International Circuit is no stranger to their guidelines as they have been a certified FIA track. Let’s follow the 2024 regulations provided by the FIA, found in Appendix H To The International Sporting Code (P4). Article 2.6 Interventions on the track - 2.6.2 If a car stops on the course, or leaves the track, the first duty of the marshals in that sector is to take it to a place of safety. No driver has the right to refuse to allow his car to be taken off the track; he must do everything he can to help and obey the marshals' instructions. Once the car is in a place of safety, the driver may, if the Supplementary Regulations of the competition permit, work on it to restart. In such cases, other means, such as breakdown vehicles, cranes, etc., should not be brought into action until the driver has made it clear that he will not continue. It is desirable that the driver stays near his vehicle until the end of the race or at least informs the post chief how his car may be lifted or towed back to the pits. Safety is paramount; Thus, all actions taken should prioritize the well-being of drivers and track personnel. Any recovery operation must comply with established safety protocols to prevent accidents during extraction. “Those sad little windshield wipers amid nothingness,” said a person in the replies. Actually, he was communicating with his team and waiting for assistance as the car was deep in the gravel, meaning it had to be towed back to the garage. Afterward, Yibo got out and was taken to the garage and the marshals towed back the car there as well. The car then can be checked to see if there is any floor damage or any other issue, and the driver might get checked as well. That's a standard procedure. So, @huli0108, how come you are a fan of racing and do not know such a basic procedure, wet conditions, and the function of gravel traps? You should know better.

#RACING101 | A summary, and a final lesson since @huli0108 asked for it. Let's clear more misinformation! Yesterday @huli0108 and many other fans of certain idol decided to flaunt their lack of knowledge, even though some are allegedly Aaron's fan and have followed his racing career as well. I'll repeat it slowly here: 1. Comparing a driver with 20 years of career to one who has done for a 1 isn't fair, because their license tiers are not the same. Their license tiers limit the events they can join and it's clear that Aaron can join national races, unlike Yibo because the scope of their licenses is different. 2. Racing calendars are online for free. Racing events in China have, most of the times, a national scope and then Yibo (along with any other National B license holder) would need to keep an eye in local events to compete during the following 24 months. @huli0108 picked the wrong person to compare Yibo to and made a fool out of themselves, and when shown all the facts then they decided to make it up for it and spread more misinformation and mix two racing series, as if that's normal when it reality it is not. No one in their sane minds would be comparing Marc to Max, Dale Earnhardt with Rossi. No one. The one who can't handle losing is you, @huli0108. And allow me to fact check this part of your post: “Wins, races and dnf which he had came across all without drama handling them well as a Pro” Well, he himself have been very upset and told to the media he was upset because of the crash where he took himself out of the race and another driver. And that feeling was present in other crashes too, be it in 2013 or 2023 (P1 - P2). Aaron is a talented amateur driver and has been racing in this class for a long, long time in GT series. But, he gained most of his podiums and wins in the Renault Clio Cup China Series (P3), driving MK3/MK4 (P4), not GT3 cars. Which, guess what? Is another racing series and not the one Yibo is training for. So, the comparison is totally invalid. Aaron has been doing this as a part-time job/hobby, but even two decades down the road he expresses that he is still an amateur who can lack experience and should be improving. So, @huli0108 I don't think you are a fan of his racing career, you just picked him to compare him to Yibo and failed. As a fan of racing, I can only wish the best for Aaron if he joins a competition in the future. Let's keep pushing. Note: Yes, drivers in GT3 tournaments have tiers and Aaron Kwok is in one of the last grades, the amateur class and is comfortable racing in it all these years. Clio Cup also had classes, A class and B class. Now, sources: 🔗 https://t.co/QouFcnYM5p 🔗 https://t.co/lfVKl1E2K0 🔗 https://t.co/YbbSAH9QYg 🔗 https://t.co/6H9EWjOJU0 🔗 https://t.co/5iWoGGd00l

#RACING101 | Even though the answer to this question is in the thread, @Loveboringdays needs more details. Once again, this post doesn't aim to humiliate @Loveboringdays, but to educate them. The usage of tiers in the licensing system helps classify drivers based on their skill level and experience. Typically, drivers start with a basic or amateur license, which allows them to compete in entry-level races or local events. As they gain more experience and demonstrate their ability, they can progress to higher tiers, such as advanced or professional licenses. This tiered approach can also limit inexperienced drivers from entering high-level events too soon, ensuring that only qualified individuals participate in races that demand greater skill and control. The article (link here: https://t.co/0KPdhT7L3G) states the following: “The national Class B license is a local competition license and cannot be used to participate in national and higher-level competitions. If a Class B license holder needs to maintain the qualification for a Class B license, the driver must participate in at least one local competition registered by the China Automobile Federation within 36 months of the issuance of the license, otherwise, he or she will need to participate in training again.” As you can see, it matters because they limit the events a driver can be part of. For the National B license, the one Yibo owns, there is a time frame for any driver to take part in the competition. When compared with Aaron Kwok, who has a higher tier, it is easier for him to join competitions as he can join national competitions, while Yibo would need to follow any local or regional competition to join. And we aren't even speaking of the race calendars, if any of them would like to join a race they would need to keep up with the release of the race calendar details. Most racing events in China have a nationwide and international scope, and the rest happen overseas, as seen in this calendar. The options can be limited for drivers who are just starting.

#RACING101 | In today's lesson, why is @huli0108's post wrong? This thread is not aimed to humiliate @huli0108 or any person who left a reply, like @Lsh7187936, but to educate them on this topic as I've seen ignorant comments from them and others like them. While I've stayed quiet most of the time, this time they decided to spread plain misinformation, so let's correct that! First, let's give some context to this matter. @huli0108 posted a thread where they called Yi/bo a “racer who can't really race” and compared him to Aaron Kwok. Comparing Yibo to Aaron Kowk was their mistake, but you may wonder why, right? P2 – P3: If we check the site they used (link here:https://t.co/ehtwby1ALz), Aaron Kwok’s profile shows that he has been racing since 2004. That means he has been taking part in competitions for 20 years. It’s important to highlight that he is a racing and car enthusiast, has an impressive collection, is a driver himself, and created his racing team in 2017, FS Sports. P4: Here is an interview with Aaron from 2012, when he joined Audi’s tournament. In that season he competed with drivers like Adderly Fong, who is Yibo’s coach! Is it fair to make a comparison? Well, no. Comparing a driver with only 12 months of experience to one with 20 years of experience is problematic due to the significant difference in experience and skill development. A driver with 20 years of racing has had far more time to refine their techniques, learn from mistakes, and adapt to different conditions on the track. They've likely encountered a wide range of challenges, giving them the ability to handle various scenarios with greater confidence and precision. Additionally, they have had the opportunity to build a deeper understanding of race dynamics, vehicle handling, and strategies, while a driver with only a year of experience is still in the early stages of mastering these aspects. This imbalance makes the comparison inherently unfair and inaccurate, as it overlooks the critical role that time and practice play in developing expertise. In the interview (P4), by then Aaron had raced (per Drivers Database, a site provided by @huli0108) for almost a decade, and yet in the interview he is in the amateur tier, he talks about how he totaled his car and how it had to be sent back to the factory in Germany for repairs. Let’s read. Y: You totaled the car the last round in Zhuhai. Did that cause any fear? A: No, no fear at all. I think it was my lack of experience that landed me in an accident. I was attempting an overtaking maneuver, and I lost control then hit the barrier. It took a lot of effort to repair the car after the accident, even having to send it to Germany and back. Q: Any strategy in racing? A: Even though I’m an amateur, it’s still a race and I’m still competitive. I aim to get a position in the amateur class, but the key is to be safe yet fast and to finish the race. Q: Do you feel any pressure racing alongside professionals? A: Not at all. In fact, it is a good thing as we get to learn from them. We can take reference from their data and compare ours to the fastest drivers. The professionals like Marchy are more than willing to share tips and give advice, hence enabling progress in the overall driver field. I do have a lot to learn about racing this car and although Marchy has been very helpful, teaching me is one thing, being able to apply it is another thing! Q: What do you aim to achieve in motorsports then? A: I am focussing on improving step by step, progressively improving my time second by second. 🔗You can read the whole interview here: https://t.co/vGANkbbtVt Now, allow me to borrow one of the things Aaron shared in this interview from 12 years ago: “I aim to get a position in the amateur class, but the key is to be safe yet fast and to finish the race.” Every driver aims to improve their time every time they get on track or in the simulator, that’s why practice is important. Yibo has kept improving his times during his test runs, has hoped on the simulator, and has also done the physical training any driver has.
