The "Tianma King" Challenge, the final racing event of 2013, made its first stop on December 31 at the Tianma Circuit in Sheshan, Shanghai. After a fierce morning competition, Xue Xingzhong won the final seat of king of this year. But the competition will be continued, with the next round taking place next month.
The event follows a pursuit game system, which first qualifies contestants by single circle results, then has them carry out paired competitions according to their qualifying score. In competition, two vehicles alternately start the chase according to their qualifying score. A total of two rounds, two laps per round, will be carried out.
The competition required riders to master the balance of speed and stability. A one-to-one chase tested the rider's offensive and defensive techniques.
"Tianma King," launched by the Tianma Circuit last year, is a racing competition open to public. Competition is divided into two forms, including a short-track race and chase, which greatly increases the unpredictability of the competition results and reduces the risk of the game. To participate in the racing event, players are only required to provide their driver's license and pay a fee. The event raises awareness and involvement in racing.
