Endurance racing provides a wealth of information in many areas: aerodynamics, engine, and chassis performance, to name just a few. This kind of real-world data is invaluable to production engineers and designers, and we have made very good use of this lesson learned from the racetrack.

The GAC Motor Racing Team again demonstrated the outstanding performance and durability of GA4 after a dominant performance in the recently completed 12-hour endurance challenge of the Petron Kalayaan Cup 2021.
