CHEN ‘HORACE’ JINHAO (CHN)|
| | Nomination |
Taking it for the team.
Much as we’d like to
put the whole lot of
them up here we had
to pick one member
of Dongfeng who we feel sums up
everything that is special about the
winners of the 2017-18 Volvo Race
and Chen ‘Horace’ Jinhao feels like
a good fit. Dongfeng’s performance
in the previous race was remarkable,
from complete newbies to almost
winning at their first attempt. Now
they’ve pulled it off. And what an
amazing result this is for the sport
