On 18 October, the 10-lap feature race of 2026 Circuit Hero-Three got underway. The action was intense from the rolling start with multiple drivers trading positions.

Official tyre partners for the race, Rydanz Tyre, Sailun and Pirelli, supplied high-performance racing tyres for Circuit Hero–3, allowing drivers to push hard and chase strong results.

As the race started, Liang Jiahe made a clean start and held the lead. Liang Minyan seized his chance, passing Hu Jinkang around the outside of Turn 1 to move into second overall. Meanwhile, Zhang Zhifan from Falcon Racing Academy overtook his teammate Zhang Jianyu at Turn 4 for fourth place. The fight at the front quickly heated up.

Before this second intervention, Lian Jiaxi had passed Zhang Jianyu to take fifth overall.

Top Three Interviews

Overall Winner | Liang Jiahe, T-1 Racing

“I really didn’t expect to win today, given how strong the competition is. This was my very first time starting from pole, so the pressure was unlike anything I’ve felt before. After several laps behind the safety car, we only raced for just over two green laps. My team manager gave me clear strategy instructions and I stuck to them to defend steadily. I noticed the second-place position kept changing hands behind me, but I chose to focus only forward and avoid distractions. Everything from the start to the restarts was a first for me. It’s an incredibly lucky and valuable lesson.”

Overall Runner-up | Liang Minyan

“I enjoyed the race overall, though there were quite a few safety-car periods which cut down the green-flag running time, leaving me wanting more. The battle between the top three cars was my favorite part of the race; the standard of give-and-take was really high. There’s just a little disappointment with the final result.”

Overall Third | Hu Jinkang, Falcon Racing Academy

“The front-running action stayed fierce right through the race. We battled from start to finish. There were more incidents than usual today, which kept interrupting the rhythm, so it wasn’t as free-flowing as I hoped. Still, I’m happy overall. I feel I’ve made small improvements in how I handle wheel-to-wheel moments. I’ll carry what I’ve learned into the next race.”
