China Circuit Championship (CCC) was held from July 7 to 8, 2007 at Shanghai International Circuit. The race was competed in 2 classes, 24 cars in both 1600cc and 2000cc classes. This was the first season for TEIN to support this event. H. Qiao Hang (#20 Kia Cerato) and W. Xiao Feng (#21) from 778 Racing Team in 1600cc class, and 4 machines from 2000cc class were all supported by TEIN.
The layout of this circuit was a combination of long straight zones and technical corners, and both highly skilled driving technique and powerful engine are indispensable to win this race. The weather conditions rapidly changed from wet to dry; however, both Xiao Feng and Qiao Hang had shown a great race. In the highly competitive class, they finished 4th and 6th place. |
Comments from TEIN engineer (TEIN R&D Section/Mr. Ryoh Takizawa)
"We have developed a damper designed for CCC based on the data from Japan, and since it was our first time to adjust to Kia vehicles with CCC regulation, we had put in quite an effort. The suspension systems of the machines were very hard due to pillowball joints and team's original stabilizers. Therefore, TEIN concentrated on increasing the traction by softening the spring rates and damping force. From this event, we collected a lot of data in different conditions, which helps us prepare the setting for the next round in Beijing." |
