The Chinese motorcycle brand QJMOTOR has recently secured a prestigious championship title in the World Superbike Championship (WSBK), a significant achievement that underscores the brand’s growing prowess on the international racing stage.
QJMOTOR has garnered numerous accolades in domestic motorcycle racing competitions, yet its aspirations extend far beyond national borders. The brand has consistently harbored ambitions to venture into the international racing arena, aiming to showcase the capabilities of Chinese-made motorcycles on a global stage and compete head-to-head with established international motorcycle brands. Commencing its international journey in 2022 by participating in the Moto3 event, QJMOTOR progressed to Moto2 in 2023. In 2024, the brand has taken a significant leap by simultaneously competing in two major international events, WSBK and MotoGP, demonstrating a steady and determined approach to expanding its global footprint.
This weekend, the WSBK race came to the Cremona Circuit in Italy. This track has a different meaning for the QJMOTOR factory team. Because their main driver Rafael De Rosa is Italian, this is like “half of the home court” for QJMOTOR. When interviewed last year, De Rosa said that he was very familiar with the Cremona Circuit and had been looking forward to making new breakthroughs here.
In the first round of the WSBK Cremona, Italy, De Rosa really did it! He won the WorldSSP Challenge Championship in one fell swoop. This championship is so important, not only did De Rosa fulfill his promise, but also set a new milestone for QJMOTOR’s journey in the WSBK arena.
An in-depth look at the WorldSSP Challenge reveals that it is a distinct European category established within the WorldSSP event framework, tailored specifically for new manufacturers and teams seeking to make their mark in the racing world. Despite not participating in non-European sub-station competitions, the WorldSSP Challenge adheres to the same rigorous racing technical requirements and competition rules as the main WorldSSP series, ensuring a level playing field without any special considerations. During races, vehicles from the WorldSSP Challenge category compete alongside those from the WorldSSP category, showcasing their skills and capabilities in front of a global audience. At the awards ceremony, the champion of the WorldSSP Challenge joins the top three finishers from the WorldSSP category in a grand procession through the victory avenue, symbolizing the unity and shared pursuit of excellence in motorcycle racing. In a notable competition, the QJMOTOR 800RR emerged victorious, standing alongside renowned international brands such as the Yamaha R9, Triumph Street Triple RS765, and Ducati Panigale V2, further cementing its place in the racing hierarchy.
Although “half home” does give some advantages, the continuous improvement of the 800 is the key to winning. One of the great strengths of our Chinese-made cars is the fast response speed. In addition, the team at the front has rich experience in the race. Driven by these two factors, the 800 has been upgraded and improved. The wind tunnel of the University of Perugia helps optimize the aerodynamic characteristics of the car body, and a large amount of race data also provides strong support for the strengthening of the engine. The current 800 has undergone earth-shaking changes compared to the past.
Through the first few races of the 2024 season, the QJMOTOR factory team has also found two “magic weapons” for mass production car events. The first is full trust. The factory team uses its years of accumulated racing experience to point out the direction for the R&D team, and QJMOTOR also attaches great importance to their feedback suggestions; the second is quick action. As long as the R&D team receives suggestions from the front, they will respond immediately and improve the performance of the car as quickly as possible within the scope allowed by the rules of the race.
Now, this season’s WSBK schedule has just gone through 4 rounds, and there are still 8 rounds to go. QJMOTOR’s drivers still have many opportunities to fight. Observers and enthusiasts alike are eagerly anticipating QJMOTOR‘s continued success in generating more impressive results on the racing circuit, as well as its potential to author even more thrilling chapters in the annals of international motorcycle racing.
