A Chinese brand that's winning in racing coming to Australia genuinely intrigues me as an engineering type. 3 wins in World Supersport isn't a token achievement.

If they can carry that momentum from 3 wins straight into the road model, it could really transform it.

Still, race results are proof of development capability, so that's plenty of reason to raise expectations.
