Jimmy Lin's relationship with racing began in his childhood. Four of the five children in his family are boys. They all have a similar hobby for cars. His father always brings various toy cars to the house: "From bicycles to motorcycles to cars.

, everything, so becoming a racing driver became a childhood dream." In the fourth grade of elementary school, Lin Zhiying wrote in the essay "My Dream": to drive a car with wings to chase the stars.

The teacher thought it was beautiful and circled it with a red pen to express encouragement.

But later the teacher discovered that Lin Zhiying could memorize racing information much more smoothly than the textbook. Only then did he realize how fascinated this boy with an angelic smile was about racing.

At the age of 18, he owned his first sports car, a red BMW.

Lin Zhiying drove it and experienced the feeling of flying, and the fire of racing was ignited in his heart.

Over the past few years, Lin Zhiying gradually became a professional driver from an amateur racing driver, and even formed an ESSO Jimmy Racing team in Taiwan.

Xiaozhi now has 4 sports cars parked at home: Ferrari, Mercedes-Benz 600, Mercedes-Benz SMART, and a BMW M3 that has made him dominate on the racing track and won many honors.

Xiaozhi loves them as much as his wives.

"Our team is great. We have won many championships in Taiwan, both large and small, as well as championships in races." When he said this, Xiaozhi looked proud, "I think my racing talent is still very good.

Not bad. For example, before the competition, I performed well both in adapting to the track and in practice. Many experts thought that I was a racing driver. Now I have participated in many competitions, large and small, and competed with many drivers in Asia.

After passing the test, the results were quite good, which is why I put so much energy into racing.” In 1997, 23-year-old Lin Zhiying participated in the Taiwan Supercar Race for the first time.

Ferrari 348 racing car.

"The first time I was so nervous that my hands were sweating. At first I just wanted to catch up with others, but later I found out that was wrong. Racing is about stability and peace." Although Jimmy Lin was not very satisfied with his original mentality, it was the first time he competed.

He finished third, which greatly inspired his racing dream.

Prior to this, Xiao Zhi, who loves racing, had received guidance from some well-known Taiwanese drivers. Good results in the competition showed Xiao Zhi's racing talent.

In February 1998, Xiaozhi participated in the China Taiwan Cross-Country Race held in Hualien. This was his first cross-country race.

When there were only 2 kilometers left in the 500-kilometer race, Xiaozhi's Citroen SAXO1.4 car crashed out of the car at a sharp corner due to brake problems. He was very disappointed at the time: "It's really a pity, because everything in the front was running very smoothly.

. But this is a rare practical experience, and safety is the most important thing! I will definitely pay more attention next time." Lin Zhiying's biggest idol is Michael Schumacher.

"He is really great, a truly excellent driver, worthy of the title of 'King of Cars'. Especially when fighting on rainy days, he can always master good techniques and take corners very beautifully. You must know that in the rain

Driving a racing car is very difficult." Speaking of Schumacher, Lin Zhiying was very excited and felt a bit like a "star-struck" person.

Continuously surpassing oneself Since 2001, Jimmy Lin has followed the Giti Racing Team to observe rally events in mainland China.

In March 2002, he represented the Giti Tire Team in the Shanghai Station of the National Rally Championship. This was his first time participating in a rally in mainland China.

Due to his hasty start, at an uphill bridge less than two kilometers into the SS2 stage, his Fuji Impreza flew into the vegetable patch in the backyard of a farmhouse and quit the race.

Jimmy Lin's best result was finishing second in the China Formula Compass Series in Zhuhai last year.

An accident a few years ago was the most unforgettable thing in his racing career.

While participating in a competition in Taiwan, when Jimmy Lin's car was about to enter a straight line at a corner, he had the opportunity to overtake. His strong desire to win drove him to overtake at a speed of about 150 kilometers per hour.

While blocking the opponent from overtaking, the car tilted slightly, lost control, and hit the wall.

The accident cost him a heavy price - a fracture of his right ankle, which forced him to rest for several months.

"After this incident, I think the most important thing for a racing driver is to be calm. Secondly, it is necessary to have quick judgment and self-confidence in the event. In the competition, it is most important to maintain a normal mind. You

Your opponent is none other than yourself. It is much better to deal with all kinds of things with a good attitude than to stand in front of other people's cars. This is the true meaning of racing."

"A few years ago, Michael Schumacher was in a car accident and seemed to have injured his ankle. Since then, his performance has improved by leaps and bounds and he has won many championships. I wonder if I will be like him?" Now

Lin Zhiying, who is passionate about racing, has regarded racing as a spirit and a responsibility.

He hopes that all racing drivers and drivers will not only experience the thrill of speed during daily driving, but also inherit and carry forward the racing culture.

He said: “Racing is not equal to drag racing. I used to pursue excitement and overtaking, but now I prefer to race against myself and surpass myself.
