[CIRCUIT] CLIO CUP CAR ZHUHAI INTERNATIONAL CIRCUIT MOTORSPORT GIRL

The first race of Clio Cup China Series was an unforgettable one. I felt the feeling of joy and excitement and 2 minutes later I felt the most upsetting and ultimately dissatisfied moments of my life.

The China Project

My decision to race in China was a tough one, mainly because I really wanted to go to China but I didn’t have the funds to do so. Just like all my racing activities, I depended on sponsors to fund my race. I met and proposed to many people along my journey in motorsports and thankfully, I had the help from WebTVAsia who agreed to fund my China project. The event was a week away, I’m realy thankful they did so much preparation like designing the Clio, my new helmet, my new suit. However time was very close, my suit and helmet didn’t make it in time for ny debut race.

They even prepared a manager and videographer and personal assistant and trainer to come with me to China to support me. {tears of joy}. It felt great to have a team help me.
Race day

The reason I was so upset was because I missed out on Race 1 Podium finish and thus will affect my overall championship points. I finished 2nd at the end of the race and I was called to the control room instead of the podium room. Apparently I got a 30 seconds penalty for jump starting at the start of the race. They didn’t inform me during the race but only at the end of the race. It felt unfair because I didn’t jump start but I had the perfect launch but the marshalls said I did, I had no choice, I was in a foreign country, they have many “rules” to follow. I took this as a lesson and accepted the penalty. I fell to fifth position. here's the “Jump Start” video
