Endurance racing is about more than outright speed. Over hours of competition, drivers, cars, and teams face a demanding test of consistency, precision, teamwork, and performance.

For the 2026 Shanghai 8 Hours, THINKCAR is proud to sponsor 610 Racing as the team heads to Shanghai International Circuit for the September 25–27 race weekend.

The 610 Racing car will take to the circuit featuring THINKCAR branding and the campaign message:

From the Racetrack to Professional Vehicle Diagnostics

Away from the circuit, modern automotive diagnostics are also becoming increasingly sophisticated.

Technicians today may need to move beyond simply reading and clearing diagnostic trouble codes. Depending on the vehicle and repair task, professional diagnostic work can involve full-system scanning, live data analysis, active tests, ECU coding, and even J2534 ECU programming.

That is where THINKCAR's professional diagnostic tools come in.

As part of the Shanghai 8 Hours campaign, THINKCAR is also spotlighting the THINKSCAN 689BT PRO, a professional vehicle diagnostic scanner designed for advanced automotive diagnostics.

The THINKSCAN 689BT PRO combines OE-level full-system diagnostics with advanced functions including bidirectional control, ECU coding, topology mapping, and 35+ maintenance reset functions. It also supports CAN-FD and DoIP for compatible vehicles.

For workshops handling ECU software-related service, the 689BT PRO also provides J2534 Pass-Thru capability for supported OEM applications. J2534 provides a standardized communication interface between a vehicle and OEM reprogramming software, supporting ECU reprogramming workflows when used with compatible OEM software and subscriptions.

Precision, Performance, and Professional Expertise

Behind every endurance race is a team working under pressure. Preparation, communication, consistency, and attention to detail all matter when the clock is running.

That pursuit of precision also reflects the philosophy behind THINKCAR's work in automotive diagnostics.

THINKCAR continues to develop diagnostic solutions for professional technicians and workshops, covering full-system vehicle diagnostics, bidirectional testing, ECU coding and programming, AI-assisted diagnostic capabilities, and new-energy vehicle diagnostics.

While the racetrack and the repair workshop are very different environments, both demand professional tools, reliable information, and the expertise to make the right decisions.
