Long-term Episode 257 · Question 7

Why run on a race track during the livestream? People don't drive this aggressively in daily life.

Official answer


Choosing to test on a race track is to verify the vehicle's stability in various extreme environments and refine its cornering performance. This achieves a driving feel that is "solid, premium, and fast yet stable in corners," allowing every driver to enjoy the thrill of driving on long trips and feel more at ease in daily driving scenarios.

This test utilized two professional test surfaces: the T10 dry handling road and the T12 wet handling road. The T10 meets FIA F4 standards and is used to test cornering response, chassis support, and tire grip; the T12 features multiple continuous curves and a precision sprinkler system, capable of simulating low-grip wet roads to test the vehicle's wet stability.

During this livestream, professional drivers completed multiple laps of dry and wet surface testing in the YU7 GT, switching between different electronic gear positions and driving modes to comprehensively verify the vehicle's stability and driving pleasure. The maximum lateral acceleration in the dry handling test was 1.03g, demonstrating the vehicle's cornering capability under extreme track testing. This allows the vehicle to drive more confidently in daily scenarios such as mountain roads and highway ramps, resulting in a superior driving and riding experience.
