28 years ago today, on September 19, 1997 (August 18, 1997 in the lunar calendar), our country sent drivers to participate in the World Rally Championship for the first time. On September 19, 1997, the 555 Chinese team, composed of new and old players, set off for Indonesia to participate in the 11th race of the World Rally Championship held from the same day to the 21st. This is the first time our country sent drivers to participate in the World Championship. The two pairs of competitors this time are veteran Xian Tongchun and novice Li Jia, veteran Chen Xuezhong and novice Zhou Yong. It is reported that the Indonesian playground is famous for its extreme heat, mud and humidity, which is undoubtedly a huge challenge for Chinese athletes who are used to the drier climate and the road race around the mountain. Therefore, the Chinese team has set the goal of "stable and fast, and finish the whole race".
