/kloc-Is it necessary to persist in the Buick S-bend challenge in 0/2 years?

This is an era of holding high sports and revival. All car companies are talking about related topics and putting forward related concepts and design concepts. But when we really landed, we saw more of a model with a bluffing appearance, warm heart and gentle driving. Of course, not all car companies can only make "like goods", but countless failures seem to tell us that pure sports production cars can't seem to prevail in China.

As we shout "car culture", everyone is talking about it, but few people have thought about how to make it land. Under such a premise, it seems foolish to insist on making sports production cars and promoting automobile culture. However, there is a car company, a brand and a "GS", but it insists on speed and passion. This persistence is 12 years. This is the Buick S-bend Challenge.

Buick S-bend Challenge was founded in 2009. Every year, Buick will combine fun and competition according to different themes and innovative tracks, so that every participant can experience the purest and most hearty driving pleasure of GS family.

10 10 18, the final of the 2020 Buick S-bend Challenge with the theme of "1g first, win the S-bend" came to an end at Ordos International Circuit. This is the 12 year of Buick S-bend Challenge. This year, it has set up eight sub-stations all over the country, which together form the famous "Ma Jun" track of Ordos International Circuit. This is a track known as "the first level to become a professional racing driver", with a total length of 3.75 1 km and 0/8 corners. It is the first international secondary track designed and built by China people independently, which can be upgraded to F 1 track.

We say that the most important prerequisite for building or developing an activity into a culture is to have a certain historical foundation, which is undoubtedly achieved by Buick S-bend Challenge. This activity not only attracted Buick owners, but also attracted many driving enthusiasts and even professional racing drivers. Therefore, in this activity, we can not only meet athletes and media from all corners of the country, but also meet Yao, the designer of Ordos International Circuit, and Liu Yang, the champion racer. They shared the characteristics of the track and the skills of cornering.

What's the point of driving a Regal GS or Lang Wei GS off the track? After all, ordinary people can't and can't gallop around corners on urban roads. Why hold such activities? In fact, it is precisely because daily travel and driving often can't fully experience the performance of the vehicle and enjoy the passion of speed, so the experience of flying on the track is particularly rare. As Dr. Yao, the designer of Ordos International Circuit, said: Ordos Circuit is an international circuit, but it is not only for professional drivers, but also for all driving enthusiasts. Everyone is welcome to experience the fun of the track as much as possible on the premise of ensuring safety.

At the same time, the driving of the track can also feedback the comprehensive strength of a car at the driving control level. Take Buick S-bend Challenge as an example. It is divided into three individual events. The first "first race" is a linear acceleration race. Linear acceleration of 400 meters can well test the acceleration performance of vehicles, and Regal GS, as the protagonist, is equipped with the eighth generation Ecotec? 2.0T variable cylinder turbocharged engine and? 9 speed? HYDRA-MATIC intelligent gearbox, this round of performance is quite eye-catching, extremely fast shift speed and throttle response, as well as the feeling of pushing back brought by the vehicle, can make the driver's adrenaline surge.

The second round of downhill sharp turn tests the technology of the vehicle to the chassis and the rigidity of the body. This round, Lang Wei GS has a better performance. With the adjustment of European system, Lang Wei GS may give people a hard sense of chassis in daily driving, but it is more confident on the track. When going downhill and attacking corners at high speed, the vehicle can well stabilize the body posture and follow the track. It can be said that in terms of driving control ability alone, Lang Wei GS can definitely be among the best in its class.

In the third round of uphill continuous curve, the protagonist returns to Regal GS. In this link, the most impressive performance of Regal GS is not the rapid response of the throttle after sudden braking and continuous downshift, nor the rigid performance of the car body when cornering, but the supporting effect of the chassis suspension on the stability of the vehicle when cornering quickly. At the same time, GS's unique AGR certified integrated seat can also provide excellent wrapping and support under high-speed cornering.

/kloc-Is it necessary to return to the original for the Buick S-bend Challenge in 0/2 years? There is no definite answer to this question, but it is obvious that Buick responded to the question itself with actual performance. Whether it is necessary or not, at least they have been insisting.

/kloc-for 0/2 years, Buick GS sub-brand has been facing consumers with manipulation and sports as its core experience. However, unlike many "similar goods" on the market, Buick can bring new experiences to consumers and users with new attempts in every Buick S-bend Challenge. From the past family experience, to the 9AT family, and today's attention to the GS sub-brand, Buick S-bend Challenge has become a bridge between Buick family products and consumers.

At the same time, compared with other brands, this kind of activity that really lets consumers experience the charm of sports money under the product is more effective than the 10 thousand slogans in the propaganda. The persistence of 12 years has not only made the whole activity an important symbol and spiritual totem of Buick brand in China, but even more rare, although Buick never mentioned it, it is undeniable that Buick S-bend Challenge has gradually changed from a simple automobile activity to a unique automobile culture. For Buick users, this intangible but real brand value can undoubtedly bring a better car experience from the spiritual level.
