The 2025 FIA Asia-Pacific Rally Championship (APRC) – Longyou round, held alongside the China Rally Championship (CRC), concluded successfully after two days of intense competition.

Representing RYDANZ, the RYDANZ Rally Team once again demonstrated the outstanding performance of the RALLY 1 rally tyre under the toughest road conditions. 

Conquering the Challenge: Stability on Extreme Terrain

The Longyou Rally covered a total distance of 534 km, including 148.58 km of special stages. Known for its steep corners, mixed road surfaces, and unpredictable terrain, Longyou is widely regarded as one of Asia’s most demanding rally courses.

The RYDANZ Rally Team entered with three crews, all equipped with RALLY 1 tyres. Throughout the event, the tyres showcased precise control and reliable grip, supporting drivers through every twist and turn.

During the opening day’s tarmac stages, the #125 crew (Wang Xiang / Bian Liming) delivered a strong performance; new driver Du Yida / Yang Tao successfully completed their debut;  while Yang Endong / Li Ai (#5) overcame mechanical setbacks and still completed the stages smoothly — proving the durability and stability of RALLY 1 in extreme racing conditions.

Innovation Through Competition: RALLY 1 with Kevlar-Reinforced Compound

On the second day, the race transitioned to rough gravel roads, including the infamous Sanmenyuan section, known for its sharp stones and complex surfaces.

Yang Endong’s crew adopted the new RALLY 1 compound, upgraded with Kevlar fibre reinforcement to enhance puncture resistance while maintaining exceptional handling.

“The Sanmenyuan stage was still brutal this year, but the RALLY 1 gave me the confidence to push harder,” said driver Yang Endong after the rally.

This real-world test provided valuable data for further refinement of the RALLY 1 series, especially for future mixed-surface rallies.

From Track to Road: Real Data, Real Development

The RALLY 1 once again proved its stability and endurance under extreme rally conditions.

More than half of the participating teams chose RYDANZ tyres at Longyou — a testament to the brand’s trusted performance across diverse terrains.

From the rally stage to the research lab, RYDANZ continues to evolve through passion and precision.

The RALLY 1 series will keep advancing through real-world racing, constantly pushing boundaries to deliver professional-grade performance for every challenge ahead.
