原标题:长安福特车队再次卫冕CTCC厂商杯总冠军

经过昨天在上海天马山举行的第七站CTCC
中国房车锦标赛后,长安福特车队的何晓乐和江腾一分别夺得分站第三和第四名,为车队夺得18分的积分,远远超出了原本计划的3分。2012年的厂商杯总冠军是长安福特车队从2009年起连续四年夺得的厂商杯总冠军,同时也是CTCC举办七年来的第五次总冠军。
由于何晓乐的赛车背负着超过1300kg的重量开始
比赛,车队的决定是让其在比赛前段以保守的方式进行比赛,以保护轮胎为前提,所以积极
进攻的雪佛兰和Polo赛车在开赛几圈后反超了何晓乐。随着比赛进行到最后阶段,当何晓乐看到前方赛车轮胎抓地力开始下降后,他加大马力并成功反超了一台Polo赛车,夺得第三的位置,而且在比赛结束前一直紧跟着排在第二位的雪佛兰。
赛后何晓乐表示:“今天的比赛结果对车队而言是非常好的结果,同时恭喜车队再次
提前卫冕厂商杯总冠军。要夺得总冠军是一件非常困难的事情,但是要实现连续四年夺得厂商杯总冠军则更为困难。我们要感谢长安福特给予我们巨大的支持。我知道雪佛兰和Polo的赛车随着比赛的进行轮胎的抓地力会有所下降,但是我们当初对天气的判断也有一点的失误。对手的轮胎确实开始退化,但是却是在比赛的最后阶段。如果再给我一圈或者两圈,我应该可以反超夺得第二位。”

何晓乐的队友江腾一,一样背负着同样的车重比赛。整场比赛他表现稳定,从第七位发车一直反超上升到第四位完赛,为自己获得宝贵的8分,让他在
车手总冠军的争夺上
继续保持着一定的竞争力。
在厂商杯总冠军的目标实现后,车队现在会把所有的精力投放在何晓乐,江腾一和甄卓伟身上,希望帮助他们三周后在著名的上海国际赛车场举行的收官战中夺得车手总冠军。根据加重补偿规则,虽然四台新
福克斯在车重的劣势上有所改变,但是和其他赛车的车重相比,差距依然有着100多公斤。

Rainey He and Tengyi Jiang captured the 2nd runner up and fourth respectively, in the 7th round of the the CTCC at the Shanghai Tianma Circuit and gained 18 points for the team which is much more than the three points needed for the team to take home the 2012 CTCC Manufacturer Cup title. This is the fourth title gained by the team in a row and the fifth in the last seven years.
Starting the race with 1,300+kg, Rainey He was instructed to race conservatively to save the tires and he gave up the lead to a few aggressive Chevrolet and Polos after a few laps. Seeing the three cars ahead of him are losing grip at the later stage of the race, he started pushing and he overtook one Polo and was on the tail of Ken Look’s Chevrolet before the race is completed.
Rainey He, “ Very good race for the team and congratulation to the team for doing it again. Winning a championship is tough but planning and executing to win four times in a row is even more difficult. We need to thank the Changan Ford organization for the huge support provided to us. We knew the Chevy and Polo’s tires will suffer but I think we misjudged the weather a bit today. Their tire performance did deteriorate but not early enough. give me one or two laps, I should be able to take the second place back.”

Rainey’s teammate Jiang Tengyi, who also was carrying the same car weight performed steadily during the race, finish fourth after starting at seventh, gained another valuable 8 points for himself in the hunt for the driver’s title.
After the Team Championship mission is completed, the team now turns its attention to assist Rainey He, Tengyi Jiang and Andy Yan to fight for the driver’s title in the last round of the season three weeks from now in the world famous Shanghai International Circuit. The weight compensation disadvantage will be improved slightly for the Changan Ford New Focus but still be in the 100kg range.
