We challenged Taiwan's fastest driver to a go-kart race

By Jules Quartly  /  STAFF REPORTER

In the daytime Lin is busy preparing to race, racing, keeping fit and meeting with sponsors. He travels a lot and — in stereotypical fashion for jet-set drivers — said he liked clubbing when it came to the nighttime.

“It's about just enjoying and forgetting the pressure,” Lin said. “When I exercise I'm just in the present and thinking about what needs to be done. The pressure doesn't go away. Actually, I have to deal with it.

“But the most important thing is fighting spirit. My grandfather was a champion runner. Competition is in our family. I was born with fighting spirit and cars.

“Motor sports is my life and though everything changes so quickly I believe it's what I will be doing in the future. There's a lot of business related to motor sports, as we know, and many teams are controlled by former racers, so who knows? It's up to my financial status. You have to follow the money.”
