#What Does It Mean for Chinese Cars to Run at Nürburgring#

China actually has several professional racetracks, but they are more for events, experiences, and training, and do not possess the kind of diverse challenges that present “new life-and-death tests” every lap.

To create China’s “Nürburgring,” three major challenges must be faced—topography, climate, and operation.

Firstly, the topography needs to be “neurotic” enough. No matter how intelligent the corners are on an ordinary flat track, they cannot replicate the complex alternation of “continuous S-curves + rapid jumps + braking zones + blind summits.” Perhaps only the cliffs and valleys of Zhangjiajie in Hunan or the mountains of Aba in Sichuan can simultaneously satisfy the characteristics of “sharp,” “elevation difference,” and “repeatedly continuous” on a single track.

Secondly, the climate needs to be sufficiently “abnormal.” It can rain at Nürburgring all year round; a sudden downpour at 200km/h can trap both cars and drivers in a “despairing experience.” The monsoon regions in southern China and the rainy season in the southwestern plateau might be able to replicate this “unexpectedness.”

Lastly, operation requires “long-lasting patience.” The core value of Nürburgring is not how much exposure a single lap can bring, but rather the repeated testing of new technologies under extreme conditions over ten or twenty years—this requires car manufacturers, event organizers, local governments, and media to form the strongest production-validation-promotion closed loop.

Can China create its “own Nürburgring”?

The answer is: Yes, but it must be treated as a national-level technology laboratory, rather than just a trendy check-in spot.

If we plan a “green hell” in the Guizhou-Yunnan Plateau that integrates the seasonal climate changes and establish a long-term testing center in collaboration with domestic car manufacturers, then it can carry out technical breakthroughs that are more aligned with China’s road conditions than Nürburgring.

This racetrack is not about “following others,” but about the Chinese automotive industry proving itself with real car results: under extreme conditions, it’s not just about lap times, but also about the comprehensive strength of dynamic battery thermal management, intelligent driving algorithms, and chassis stability control. #Car Talk with Influencers##New Energy Vehicles#加密市场回调
