No break for China's veteran rally king Lu

Experienced driver keeps challenging himself

HAMI, Xingjiang - Lu Ningjun, dubbed China's rally king for his six appearances at the prestigious Dakar Rally, is the country's most experienced rally driver.

However, the 52-year-old, who became China's first rally competitor 25 years ago when he took part in the 1985 Hong Kong-Beijing Rally, prefers to be defined as persistent more than experienced.
