Sailun joins hands with CTCC China Cup to create a new chapter in the track

2026 season Xiaomi · The CTCC China Auto Track Professional League is in full swing, with the first and second rounds of the year taking place in Jiading, Shanghai and Ningbo Ranqing, Zhejiang. The key mid-season races will kick off from August 7 to 9 at the Ordos International Circuit. As the official tire supplier for the CTCC China Cup, Sailun Tire provided full support throughout the first two rounds, presenting exciting track battles at Shanghai International Circuit and Ningbo International Circuit, witnessing peak speed moments with professionalism and passion.

Supporting the competition on the field, Sailun achieves excellence through passion

Sailun Tire and CTCC China Cup first established a partnership in 2023, consistently winning the favor of drivers with high-performance racing products and professional event support services. At the CTCC China Cup venue, the race wheel provides precise tire sizes for five major categories and models with varying degrees of modification—190/580-15, 240/610-17, and 260/660-18. From TCR racing cars to entry-level sedans, every vehicle can find its own track partner.

Performance on the track is the best test of tire performance. In the 2025 Shaoxing Keqiao leg, the first leg of the CTCC China Cup featured an extreme weather test: the first half of the race was hit by high temperatures, followed by sudden downpours in the second half. Facing the sudden shifts in weather and weather, the Sailun PC01 dry tires and PW01 rain tires demonstrate outstanding adaptability, maintaining stable grip in high temperatures and reliable handling on slippery surfaces, helping drivers compete for top results even under extreme conditions.

At the Zhuzhou Grand Prix in Hunan that year, the race weekend was affected by continuous rain, and the slippery track further tested the tires' drainage, grip, and stability. Facing the ever-changing track conditions, the PW01 rain-ground tires provide drivers with stable and reliable handling support, helping drivers in each category maintain their competitive rhythm and successfully complete intense battles in the rain.

Entering the 2026 season, Sailun Tire has continued to safeguard the CTCC China Cup, creating multiple highlight moments on the field. In the second round of the Shanghai Jiading opening race, Sun Zheng from car number 109 of the Taihe Tyrannosaurus Arrizo racing team made a full chase from 26th to the front of the field, ultimately winning first place and winning the TCS category.

At the Ningbo round in Zhejiang, the race wheels demonstrated outstanding performance on the undulations and tight corners of the Ningbo International Circuit. The Hunan Jiren Ziyou Tianxiang team, with precise tire strategy and excellent race rhythm, saw Zhong Yizhan/Fu Bin from car No. 626 and Han Chang from car No. 21 take both the TCR class gold and runner-up spots for two consecutive rounds. The No. 56 car of the Beijing Hongyu Jijiang Riya Racing Team mounted a brilliant comeback. With the full support of the race wheel, Zhang Die and Zheng Wancheng improved by over 30 positions to claim the TCS class championship. These moments on the track are the best testament to Sailun Tire's "passion leads to greatness."

From the race track to the road, track technology empowers civilian use

Every start and every lap on the track is not only a contest of speed and victory but also an important validation of the continuous development of tire technology. For Celun, CTCC is not just an event, but also a technology research and development platform connecting the track and the road.

The CTCC China Cup provides Sailun with a unique environment for technical validation. A multi-vehicle and multi-spec event ecosystem allows Sailun to accumulate extremely rich technical data on a single platform. The event covers South China, Central China, and North China, including multiple professional tracks such as Shanghai International Circuit, Ningbo International Circuit, and Hunan International Circuit, providing diverse testing scenarios for the wheels.

Since becoming the official tire supplier for the CTCC China Cup, Sailun has continuously relied on the event to carry out product validation and technical research and development. From the high-speed combination corners of Shanghai International Circuit, to the technical sections of the Ningbo International Circuit with undulations and continuous heavy braking, and to the complex climate conditions of different regions such as high temperatures and rainfall, CTCC covers a multi-vehicle system, multiple specifications, and multiple tracks, providing a realistic and rigorous R&D environment for the race wheel. The tire's performance in grip, durability, handling stability, and thermal decay control is continuously tested in every race, forming a valuable data accumulation.

These frontline data from the track continue to drive technological upgrades for Sailun's products. Relying on the R&D experience accumulated by the CTCC event, Sailun continuously optimizes rubber formulas, tire structure, and tread design, applying race validation results to civilian tire development, truly bringing track technology onto everyday paths. From traditional fuel models to new energy vehicles, Sailun continuously develops customized products tailored to different vehicle platforms, power characteristics, and chassis requirements, providing more precise product solutions for different users.

Today, Sailun has built a full-size, full-range civil tire product system, and simultaneously supports multiple independent and joint-venture OEMs. Relying on the technical accumulation and R&D capabilities formed by the event platform, Sailun continuously achieves results from on-site validation to product implementation, and from competition technology to civilian mobility, allowing more consumers to share in the technological dividends brought by motorsport.
