Why is Xiaomi sponsoring the three major domestic circuit racing events, and what is its role in the events?

Official answer

Xiaomi is simultaneously sponsoring three major automotive circuit racing events: the "China Touring Car Championship," the "China GT Championship," and the "China Endurance Championship." These three events represent the highest levels of Chinese motorsport in terms of "professionalism," "performance," and "endurance" respectively. The Xiaomi SU7 Ultra and YU7 will serve as the official safety cars and medical cars for these three major events, hoping to use practical actions to safeguard the safety of the races. We hope to continuously promote the development of racing culture through cooperation with the three major domestic circuit racing events;

Race tracks are much harsher and more extreme road conditions than daily streets. Therefore, serving as a "safety car" and "medical car" on the track requires outstanding performance in "power performance," "handling performance," and "safety performance" to be competent. The Xiaomi SU7 Ultra production car set a new lap record for production electric vehicles at the "Nürburgring Nordschleife" on April 1, 2025, and the Xiaomi YU7 Max also achieved the title of "Fastest SUV under 1 million RMB" at the Zhejiang International Circuit. This fully proves that the SU7 Ultra production car and YU7 Max have the capability to serve as race "safety cars" and "medical cars." We also welcome everyone to visit Xiaomi Auto sales stores nationwide to test drive all Xiaomi models;

We would like to remind everyone again that if you want to set lap times on any track, please check the vehicle's condition in advance, upgrade the braking system for track use, and wear professional racing suits and full protective gear to enhance the safety of track driving.
