Track conditions and climate significantly affect lap times. What were the conditions like on the day the Xiaomi SU7 Ultra set the fastest production car lap record at Shanghai International Circuit?
Official answer
On February 13, the weather at the Shanghai International Circuit was sunny, with an air temperature of around 4 degrees Celsius, and the track surface was dry.
An air temperature of 4 degrees Celsius belongs to a low-temperature environment. At this time, vehicle performance such as tires, brakes, and power output will be inferior to that in a normal temperature environment of around 20 degrees Celsius.
