Racers braved a punishing 338-km stretch through the Taklimakan Desert, facing extreme heat, fierce sandstorms, and ever-changing light conditions that pushed their skills to the limit. Among the motorcyclists, Shi Haoyu of the Hoto Factory Racing Team clocked the fastest stage time, while Czech rider Martin Michek maintained his overall lead. 😎
In the car category, teamwork shone brightly as Tao Yongming and navigator Shen Xin from the Hebei Qian'an Jiujiang Auto and Motorcycle Sports Club topped the stage. With two more days of racing through the scenic N39 Desert Area in Makit County, Kashgar Prefecture, every second counts in this grueling challenge. 🚀
For tech-savvy thrill-seekers and motorsport enthusiasts alike, Stage 8 was a vivid display of resilience and high-octane excitement that proves determination can conquer even the harshest environments.
