Truck Cross Country Moves to Gannan in 2006
Lanzhou, July 22 — Reporter Li Manfu reports that the "2006 Dongfeng Commercial Vehicle Cup Truck Cross-Country Race" held its departure ceremony this morning in Lanzhou. Six heavy-duty trucks set off from the city, heading toward Luqu County in Gannan Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, marking a key stage in the competition.
The race officially kicked off on May 13 in Jinan, Shijiazhuang, Taiyuan, and Xi’an. After a series of truck performances and player selections, the teams arrived in Lanzhou today. They will compete in the finals in Luqu from July 23 to 24. The event follows the rules of field cross-country racing, utilizing the unique natural landscapes of the plateau, mountain grasslands, and sandstone riverbeds to create challenging obstacles. This new format, known as "truck off-road racing," elevates the sport to a more competitive level. In addition to the off-road races, traditional events such as gravel races and hill climbs will also be part of the competition.
This is the second time the province has organized such an event. In May 2005, the first truck motocross race took place over five days in Jinchang City and Jiayuguan City, drawing significant attention from both participants and spectators.
Deputy Governor Yang Zhiming and Provincial Vice Chairman Yang Zhengang were present at today’s launch ceremony, underscoring the importance of the event for the region. The competition not only promotes automobile sports but also highlights the natural beauty and challenges of the Gannan area, offering a thrilling experience for drivers and fans alike.
