As the riders gear up for Round 2 of the IDEMITSU FIM Asia Road Racing Championship at Zhuhai International Circuit, SuperSports 600cc rider, Sha Juntong of VICTOR RACING Team is set to ride on home turf once again, aiming to rewrite his story after a challenging outing last year.
The Zhuhai International Circuit holds a special place in the China lad’s heart however, his aspirations were dashed by misfortune when he encountered setbacks during races in Round 5 of ARRC last year. In Race 1, Juntong recorded a DNF (Did not Finish), followed by a DNS (Did Not Start) in Race 2, that watched him ending his challenge in Zhuhai with only disappointment.
Juntong expressed, “Last year’s competition was a regret. Due to personal operational reasons, I fell during the qualifying session and fractured my right heel bone, and I have not fully recovered until now.”
Despite the difficulty, Juntong will approach the upcoming race with a fresh mindset, recognizing the room for improvement in his craft.
“I mainly participate in this competition with a learning mentality because I know that I still have a lot to improve, but at the same time, I will do my best to strive for better results. My team and I have made sufficient preparations for this home game, including my personal training and vehicle adjustments. I believe that my results in this home game will definitely be a breakthrough,” emphasized Juntong.
Bolstered by meticulous preparation, both personally and with his team, Juntong hopes to bring joy to those who support him with a better performance in this coming round.
Juntong said, “In China, more and more fans pay attention to ARRC. I can’t wait to bring them a wonderful home game.” Despite the eagerness to excel on home soil, Juntong acknowledged the reality of his situation. “To be honest, I really want to win the game at home, but I know where my ability is now. But I will do my best.”
