Tommy:
這次我邀請到甄卓偉
他是中國房車錦標賽2011年度總冠軍
可謂前途無可限量, 那麼先請你作自我介紹吧
Andy:
大家好,我是甄卓偉Andy
其實很多朋友都問過我的賽車歷程
我的賽車歷程應該要由我爸爸說起
因為我爸爸本身是一個賽車手
他之前有參加過房車賽以及卡丁車比賽
我與大部分男孩一樣
年紀很小就非常喜歡賽車這項運動
直到11歲那一年, 爸爸就安排了一輛Go-Kart(卡丁車)給我開始練習
然後就參加比賽, 也參加過全國性青少年錦標賽
從2003年開始就參加了香港房車錦標賽
參加過1600cc組、2000cc組比賽
甚至後來的S2000澳門杯高級組比賽
對於我個人來說自己的轉捩點在2009年
因為2009年我加入了長安福特賽車隊
參加CTCC中國房車錦標賽
Tommy:
卓偉,2011對於你來說一定非常難忘
跟我們說一下整個經歷吧
Andy:
對於我和車隊來說最開心當然是拿到車隊全年總冠軍
其次是可以拿到我個人的車手年度總冠軍
這兩件事對於我和車隊來說都是非常興奮、非常開心, 也很難忘
至於我們在2011賽季也經歷了很多難忘的事情
始終全年度一共有8站賽事
當中最開心的要數第二站——珠海
因為我是從第三位起步
然後在沖線是追了上來拿到第一個冠軍, 非常開心
是2011賽季第一個分站冠軍
當時其實是很開心, 我站到了車頂上面
很多朋友說你這樣會踩壞車頂
在成都站我的排位成績並不理想, 排到第11位
到正式比賽起步前幾分鐘就下起了暴雨
或者這一場雨也幫了我, 最後獲得季軍
這個過程很深刻, 雖然不是冠軍
但是可以幫車隊拿到積分
主要有關於新賽例修改
每一站贏得冠軍要加重60kg
而當時去到內蒙古鄂爾多斯站我的賽車已經加重了140kg
其實是一個很重的負荷, 對於車輛在彎道上的操控、刹車性能、直線加速
甚至在比賽當中的輪胎損耗都有很大影響
那一站比賽比較辛苦, 但最終都以第6名完成比賽
以背負了這麼大負重來說成績還算是比較理想
這一站可以說是全年度最重要的比賽
因為有三位車手可以爭奪車手年度總冠軍寶座
在決賽時我是排第4位起步, 起步非常順利
超越了一個對手進佔第3名
去到T4彎道再把握了一次機會超越另一名對手上升到第2名
經過20多圈比賽, 我最終以第3名沖線
因為車隊上下所有工作人員全部跑出來包圍了我
我下車以後他們就馬上擁抱我
他們非常興奮、非常開心
因為我們期待已久的2011年車廠、車手雙料年度總冠軍終於拿到了
Tommy:
在2011年你就成為了全年度總冠軍
有什麼人你是想要特別感謝一下的呢?
Andy:
那是當然需要的, 很感謝FRD、長安福特、Yokohama、bp 優途
Castrol、Tein、Avanti 以及 Recaro, 很感謝他們在這一年內的支持和參與
另外我也很想感謝我的家人, 以及所有關注和支持我的朋友
謝謝你們
長安福特無論在技術上或者架構上都是一支非常專業的車隊
車隊經理凌绍章
德國籍首席工程師Bernd Meyer
以及一班專業技師
他們打造出一輛非常具有競爭力的賽車
再加上隊友何曉樂、江騰一、范高翔配合
令我們車隊可以在2011年賽事奪得驕人成績
Tommy:
那你對於2012年有什麼展望呢?
Andy:
這是一款全新型號
加上我們有新技術合作夥伴艾巴赫和倍斯登
在賽季前我們會為賽車進行不同測試與調校
想知道我們新賽車的競爭能力到底有多高
就要留意2012年CTCC賽事
Tommy:
Thank you for watching Champion’s Profile
Here with usAndyYan
He’s the 2011 Champion of China Touring Car Championship
With promising prospect, Please introduce yourself
Andy:
Hi everyone, I’m Andy Yan
Many of my friends do ask me about my racing history
Actually it was my father who brought me into motor racing
Because he used to be racing driver
Did compete touring and kart races
Just like most young man
Fallen in love with motor racing at young age
Till eleven year old
My father arrange a kart for me to start practice
Then compete races
Also compete national youth competition
Start compete Hong Kong touring car championship at 2003
1600cc group and 2000cc group
Also compete Macau cup highest group S2000
2009 was my turning point
Because I joined FRD racing team
Compete in CTCC China touring car championship
Tommy:
Andy 2011 must be your memorable year
Tell us your story and experience
Andy:
Obviously in 2011
Very please our team had won the championship
Also clinch the driver champion myself as well
Me and the team are very happy and thrill with this achievement
Never would forget
There are experience during 2011 races are hard to forget
With eight rounds throughout the year
Second round in Zhuhaiis the round I enjoy the most
Started at third place
Managed to come through before the chequer flag to win the race
Very please
It was the first win of 2011 championship
I were so happy, Stood on top of the car
Many of my friends thought that would damage the roof
After Zhuhai round then to Chengdu
Did not achieve good qualify position at Chengdu stop
Startat11thHeavy rain just before the race begin
Perhaps the rain helped me
Finish third at last
Memorable experience
Despite not winning the race
At least collected more points for the team
After Chengdu stop
Face the most difficult round in Mongolia
It’s the fourth stop at Ordos
Due to race regulation
Every winner has to increase their loading 60kg in every round
My car already increase 140kg when we arrive at Ordos
Its very heavy load
Affect handling, brake performance and acceleration
Also those tires wear out much quicker during the race
Its was difficult a round, At last finish at 6th
Not bad result for such a heavy load
The final stop 8th round race
We went to Shanghai STC
Its very important round of the year
Because it’s Champion decisive round for three driver
Start at 4th position at the final round
Started very well, Pass one of my rivals to third
With good opportunity at T4 pass another of my rival to second
After 20 laps, Take the third place at the checker flag
I see there was blue ocean as I return back to the pit
Because everyone in the team are out there around me
Hug me as soon I got out the car
They were very excited and very happy
Because we won the long awaited 2011 team and driver champion
