Team Hangzhou Honda Rally Racing wins the title

06.09.2012

 

The last event of the China Rally Championship 2012 allowed team Hangzhou Honda Rally Racing Flying Rally Team, supported by Motul, to win the title! The champion, Wang Xiang, with his team-mate Dongfeng, managed to keep up a fast pace at the wheel of his new generation Honda Civic throughout the event that took place from 24 to 26 August in the region of Huairou, not far from Beijing. Some respite was afforded by the retirement of his closest contender, as he recalled after the event: 'Quite frankly, there was very high pressure. I fought so as not to fall behind on the last race day. I felt somewhat relieved when I saw my main contender's car stopped by the roadside, forced to retire.' As the other drivers didn't pose such a threat, Wang Xiang was able to take the win by steering carefully and avoiding any unnecessary risks. 'I was fully in control of my car, intent on bagging the title,' he concluded.
The team hopes to win this championship again, to mark its tenth anniversary to take place shortly.
