From September 19 to 21, 2025, the China GT Championship concluded its season at the Shanghai International Circuit. Team KRC fielded a strong pairing, with Ethan Ho (He Zhengquan) and Tony Ruan Cunfan sharing the wheel of the BMW M4 GT4 EVO in the highly competitive GTS class.
Notably, Ethan who competes across both Formula and GT racing, once again demonstrated his exceptional versatility and ability to excel in multiple disciplines.
During Friday’s practice sessions, the duo showed a outstanding pace, topping the GTS timesheets in all three sessions and consistently improving their lap times. They ultimately set the benchmark lap of 2:14.035 in free practice, securing the fastest class time and laying a solid foundation for the weekend’s races. In Saturday’s main race, the Ethan and Cunfan delivered an outstanding performance, emerging victorious after nearly an hour of fierce battle to claim the GTS class victory.
Ethan shouldered the challenge alone in Sunday. Despite the pressure of a solo drive, he delivered a calm and consistent performance, fending off rival Moritz Berrenberg to take victory by a narrow 0.773-second margin. With this result, He not only claimed the GTS class win at Shanghai but also secured third place in the overall GTS season standings, wrapping up the campaign in style. “With the pit-stop handicap in our PA class and the BOP conditions for our rivals, racing at a demanding 5-km track like Shanghai was always going to be a challenge. Saturday’s changeable weather and Sunday’s solo effort came even more uncertainty. But the entire crew worked together and delivered the very best result possible. I’m extremely grateful for everyone’s effort.”commented Team Principal Mars Kang.
As the curtain falls on this round, a new chapter begins. In October, Team KRC will embark on a dual campaign: Ethan will continue in the China F4 Championship finale at Zhuhai, while Tony takes on the GT World Challenge Asia season finale in Beijing. The team will return even stronger, ready to chase new dreams of speed across different circuits.
