The auction for the champion replica race car commenced at 8:00 PM tonight, April 10, and concluded within one minute with a final bid of 5 million yuan. The starting price was set at 400,000 yuan, with a maximum cap of 5 million yuan. All proceeds from the sale will be donated to the Yanran Angel Foundation. During the live broadcast, Zhang Xue expressed his hope that the vehicle would be preserved as a permanent collection piece, while he retains permanent visitation rights to the accompanying trophy.

Earlier today, Zhang Xue posted a video on his personal social media platform announcing the auction, scheduled for 8:00 PM in his live stream. He specified a cap of 5 million yuan for the bidding but noted that participants could not place a single bid of 5 million yuan directly. Instead, bidders were required to start with bids over 1 million yuan and continue incrementally, with the first to reach the 5 million yuan cap winning the auction, introducing an element of chance.

On March 28-29, 2026, at the World Superbike Championship (WSBK) Portimão round in Portugal, the Chinese brand Zhang Xue Motorcycles achieved a historic milestone. Competing in the mid-weight class with their self-developed model, the ZXMOTO 820RR-RS, the team secured victories in both races, marking the first-ever championship win for a Chinese motorcycle brand in the top tier of WSBK history.

On April 3, Zhang Xue, founder of Zhang Xue Motorcycles, announced via his personal social media account that the champion replica race car would be auctioned on April 10 at 20:00. On April 9, he further revealed an enhanced prize: the "Fastest Lap" trophy won by Zhang Xue Motorcycles would be included with the vehicle. Zhang Xue stated that all auction proceeds would be donated to Li Yapeng's Yanran Angel Foundation, directly addressing Li Yapeng by saying, "You decide the recipient and the purpose of the funds; I trust you."

In response, Li Yapeng expressed sincere gratitude for Zhang Xue's trust and support, announcing that he would encourage his friends to actively participate in the bidding.
