The Thai Isuzu team driver Ou Lan, supported by Mamba Racing shocks, won the first place in the international group.

Mamba Racing shocks, as the technical partner of Jiangxi Isuzu Team in 2019 season, had helped the team successfully completed TAKLIMAKAN RALLY, Asia Baja, and Silk Way Rally in China. In the Dongchuan Debris Rally, Mamba Racing shocks aslo provided high-performance shock absorbers for Thai Isuzu’s two race cars. In the five-day competition, the Mamba Racing products had withstood the harsh track environment, and the shock absorbers of the four cars in the Isuzu Legion had not shown any obvious performance failure or oil leakage. Therefore it was unanimously recognized by four players from China and foreign countries who used these high-performance shock absorbers in the competition for the first time.
Lu Ningjun, the director of the Jiangxi Isuzu team, said in an interview that the competition specially invited the Thai team to participate in the race, and used the combination of Thai & Chinese drivers to reduce the impact of objective factors on the results of the competition. For this year’s cooperation with Mamba Racing shocks, Lu Ningjun is very grateful to Mamba Racing for its support in the annual championship. He also revealed that he is currently in contact with the manufacturers about the details of participating in the Dakar Rally in 2020, and hopes more brands of shocks can join in the sponsor camp of the team as Mamba Racing shocks, contributing to the development of Chinese motorsport.
The brand representative of Mamba Racing shocks Li Zhiguo was very honored to become the technical partner of Jiangxi Isuzu team and successfully be the support for the team participating in the 2019 China Auto Cross-Country Championships. In summing up this year’s harvest, Li Zhiguo said that the cooperation with the manufacturer’s fleet, especially the mass production model, has collected more data for their shocks, which will greatly help to develop the future products. Talking about the planning for the future, Li Zhiguo believes that the development of Chinese motor sports is on a high-speed track. As a brand focusing on building high-end shock absorbers, he hopes that Mamba Racing shocks will be able to have more cooperation channels and further improve product performance by 2020.
