 Restarting in Regret

 Answering Everything on the Track

2025.11.24

Let courage bloom like blazing stars,

And honor fall upon us like golden rain.

Remember the Feeling of Resentment

Looking back at the 24 season, we also left with regrets.

12 months ago, DRe24’s container fell off a forklift.

Opening the door revealed broken bodywork,

bent battery box bolts,

dislodged suspension bearings,

and a motor controller of unknown fate…

Over the past year, technical bottlenecks, schedule pressure, preparation anxiety… wave after wave hit us. Late nights in the paddock, tight schedules during design, meetings to regroup after failures, heated discussions over data—they were like checkpoints testing how determined we were.

But it was in those downtrodden moments that we learned to stand up again; in countless “do it again” voices, we broke down difficulties, took apart problems, and pieced together what we failed to achieve last year, bit by bit.

This year’s DRe25 was reborn from the fire of regret and resentment.

Let life be beautiful like summer flowers, And Death like 

autumn leaves.Let life be beautiful like summer 

flowers, And Death like autumn leaves.

Remember the frustration

Writing the Answer in Speed

At 1:00 PM on November 23, after an extreme half-hour competition, relying on hardcore technical strength, the driver’s steady and precise control, and the unspoken默契 over the radio, DRe25 smoothly completed the 20km endurance test, achieving 6th place in endurance, carving Tongji’s speed name on the track, wrapping up the seven-day FSEC journey perfectly.

Smooth

Completion

WE ARE DIANRACING

The end of the race didn’t mean a slowdown.

In the brief period before the award ceremony, team members quickly engaged in packing up the paddock—organizing equipment, storing tools, cleaning the site, all in one go. At that moment, “Perseverance brings far, Striving for excellence” was not a slogan, but a habit, a trait engraved in DIAN Racing’s bones.

Off the track, we also received warmth from fellow teams. Teams from all directions gathered, exchanging friendship through team uniforms, small gifts, and stickers, discussing technology, design, and shared passion. The bonds beyond the track added warmth to this competition.

WE ARE ALL FROM FSEC

DIANRACING: 

Teamwork in every effort, unity in every win!

Every achievement comes from the silent persistence behind the scenes.

It’s the tech team’s insistence on every millisecond of performance,

the drivers’ repeated practice from scorching sun to cold wind,

the management, publicity, logistics, testing, procurement, outreach…

Everyone put “team” into action every single day.

This year, we turned regrets into motivation, hardships into strength.

The applause on the track this year was earned by us.

And the road ahead will continue to be written by us.
