Esports WTCR pre Ningbo Speedpark- Ehrlacher on a charge as WTCR drivers prepare to #RaceAtHome

Esports WTCR pre Ningbo Speedpark- Ehrlacher on a charge as WTCR drivers prepare to #RaceAtHome

03.07.2020: Yann Ehrlacher plans to capitalise on the momentum generated by scoring his first Pre-season Esports WTCR Championship victory when the online series resumes at a virtual Ningbo International Speedpark in China on Sunday night.

Yann Ehrlacher plans to capitalise on the momentum generated by scoring his first Pre-season Esports WTCR Championship victory when the online series resumes at a virtual Ningbo International Speedpark in China on Sunday night.



The Cyan Racing Lynk & Co driver won the first of two races at Slovakia Ring last Sunday and has been training hard in his efforts to triumph again for Lynk & Co − the first Chinese car make to win an FIA international motor race − at its ‘home’ event on the RaceRoom Racing Experience platform.



“Even if it’s on the sim and I will be at home in Europe, it still feels like a home track for us as it is in China and that’s the home country for our brand,” said Frenchman Ehrlacher, 24.



“The result at the Slovakia Ring was definitely good and confirmed what we have seen from the beginning of the season. We have had the pace but we had some issues in the races with contact. Slovakia was the only race that I was able to manage it from the beginning to the end without any issue and we won it, so it was good confirmation. Ningbo is a completely different type of track but it’s nice to start the event with a good basis and memory.”




Ehrlacher braced for tough technical test


Yann Ehrlacher was one of the first drivers to race at Ningbo for real following the track’s inauguration in September 2017, making him more than aware of the technical challenge offered by the 4.010-kilometre layout. “The track is really technical in real and that means it’s even more technical on the sim.



This is because you have less feedback from the car and you have to translate even more information, so it will not be easy,” he said. “But the track is really nice, I’ve been training a lot to make sure I am on the spot with all the braking points and the corner speeds.”
