The action-packed weekend commenced with an intense qualifying session on Saturday, where the FAW Audi Racing Team seized the coveted pole position, setting the stage for a gripping showdown.
As the lights went out, Hu Bo took control of the wheel at the start and had a good getaway. However, the race took a dramatic turn when a fellow Audi competitor caused Hu to spin unexpectedly on the opening lap. Undeterred, Hu brought the FAW Audi Racing Team Audi into the pits, where the team's mechanic crew worked tirelessly in the car to rejoin the race and remain in contention for the GT3 PRO-AM title.
With Cheng Congfu now behind the wheel, FAW Audi Racing Team Audi roared back into the competition, launching a spirited comeback. Cheng masterfully built on his teammate's efforts, steadily climbing through the ranks.
The team's resilience paid off as they crossed the finish line in sixth place, securing not only a commendable race result but also clinching the GT3 PRO-AM Drivers' title for Cheng Congfu.
