00:00Before watching the video, let me remind you that there is more content on the Hotpot website.
00:30Although female racers are naturally weaker than male racers,
00:38this does not mean that female racers are doomed to be suppressed in this group of bears.
00:44They can't break out of their own sky.
00:47The local professional female racer, Leona Chin,
00:50won widespread recognition in the Asian racing world with her outstanding racing skills and charm.
00:56She has defeated many top male racers in many international high-level competitions.
01:01But behind the glory on the podium,
01:03has Leona Chin encountered any setbacks and challenges in her 20 years of racing career?
01:08And what is the reason for her to always stick to her dream
01:11and never give up in the field of racing?
01:15Let's listen to her story.
01:24Those who have never ridden in my car
01:26would think that I am a very fast racer.
01:30But when they get in my car,
01:32they would say,
01:33why are you driving so slowly?
01:35It's so safe.
01:36It's just too fast.
01:39As a professional female racer who has won countless awards on the racetrack,
01:43the Leona Chin that most people see
01:45is her instant-adjusting steering wheel,
01:47precise turning,
01:48and slightly drifting speed and passion.
01:52But when she is not on the racetrack,
01:54she drives so fast in private.
01:58I know that safety comes first.
02:01In racing,
02:02we wear all kinds of safety equipment,
02:05like the helmet,
02:06the racing suit,
02:07safety belt,
02:08everything.
02:09We know the car is perfectly meant for racing,
02:12so we will go all out.
02:14Hello, I am Leona Chin.
02:18Leona Chin is the best racer in the Malaysian racing world.
02:21Leona is so cool on the racetrack.
02:23But when she takes off her helmet,
02:25she is gentle, cute,
02:26and always has a smiling face.
02:28The racing world is always crowded.
02:30In the past 20 years,
02:31Leona has participated in various types of racing,
02:33including drifting,
02:34drag racing,
02:35endurance racing,
02:36special driving,
02:37and so on.
02:38What challenges her in every race
02:40is not only her racing skills,
02:41but also her physical fitness,
02:42which is the limit of a male racer.
02:45And behind all the glory,
02:47Leona has also experienced a broken leg,
02:50almost forced to give up her professional racing career.
02:54This year is my 20th year.
02:56If I didn't persist,
02:58I might have already given up.
03:00The moment I wanted to give up
03:02was when I fell
03:04and broke my leg.
03:06I felt that my career was over
03:09because my leg was broken.
03:11What should I do?
03:12I kept crying.
03:13I kept crying during the show.
03:20But after wiping away her tears,
03:22Leona, with her perseverance,
03:24learned how to climb,
03:25learn how to stand,
03:26learn how to walk.
03:27From zero,
03:28she learned how to race again.
03:31You know how babies learn how to crawl,
03:34crawl then get up,
03:35and then they will use that push thing.
03:37Same.
03:38I just push the wheelchair
03:39and walk around the house
03:40until my legs got enough strength.
03:42Then after that,
03:43I push the wheelchair,
03:44try and walk again.
03:45And then,
03:46I managed to walk.
03:47Then I started to drive.
03:49However,
03:50to persist on the racing track for 20 years
03:52cannot be based on pure love and persistence.
03:55The reality is cruel.
03:57Racing is widely considered
03:58to be the most expensive sport in the world.
04:01If there is no massive financial support
04:03and funding,
04:05no matter how passionate the racers are,
04:07it is difficult to continue racing.
04:10In 2018,
04:13I didn't get any sponsorship.
04:16I felt that it was really hard to continue
04:20because this financial issue
04:23had a huge impact.
04:26I posted a video on YouTube
04:30trying to tell people that
04:32it's not easy being a lady in motorsports
04:35and I really need help.
04:37They knew I had a limited budget.
04:39They knew that
04:41if they touched me,
04:43it was over for my race.
04:45It was really tough.
04:47They did not want to lose to a girl.
04:51To persist on what you love,
04:52you must have solid financial support.
04:55The financial setbacks she had in her career
04:57also made Leona more sensitive
04:59to financial and savings issues.
05:02Every month, I save some money
05:04for rainy days.
05:06I don't know if you need the money.
05:09I've been saving a lot diligently.
05:13I go to Hong Leong Bank
05:14and bring in some money there.
05:16Keep it and don't touch it.
05:18That's what I do.
05:20In her 20 years of career,
05:22no matter how hard it is for a female racer,
05:26no matter how hard it is for a female racer,
05:28no matter how hard it is for a female racer,
05:31Leona has not been defeated.
05:33Instead, Leona has been nourished
05:35by the fact that she has been on the podium
05:37more than once.
05:40When I was young,
05:41I used to watch anime.
05:43I used to say that I was Naruto.
05:45When I was beaten to death,
05:48I still had the strength to stand up
05:50and keep fighting.
05:51I believe I'm a Naruto inside me
05:53and I won't give up.
