In the post-qualifying interview, Wang Yuan said, “Regrettably my car had a problem yesterday and today I cannot perform to my best. So I returned to the pit garage early. In the future we will do more detailed inspection on the machines.” Hu Jia-Xin said, “During qualifying, I saw that the gap between Wang Yuan and I was not very big, so I pushed a little more, luckily it works out quite well. I look forward to future races.”

As the mainstay of Circuit Hero race series, Circuit Hero-Two has attracted many tuning shops to enter the race after many years of development. Climbing on the Circuit Hero-Two podium is proof positive that the tuning shop is technically strong. Regrettably this race cannot run its course, but we look forward to more races next year!
