A teenage racer's passion for motorsports

The thunderous roar of engine fills the air as Liu Xinrui rides her racing motorcycle onto the track.

Having the same passion for motorsports as her father, the 11-year-old girl began pursuing what she loves in youth motorcycle racing a year ago. Through countless hours of practice, she has now built a solid foundation.

This year, Liu claimed a sixth-place finish at a national motorcycle racing event. "My idol is Zhang Xue, whose eponymous ZXMOTO shows the world what the Chinese speed is," she said. "I wish I could make more breakthroughs and achieve better results."
