The reality show assembles 12 car-loving teens, including Bian Tianyang, Chen Junyu, and Da Suo, who embark on an eight-day intensive training camp in Pingtan. Under the guidance of professional racers, they navigate through challenges like karting battles, mud pit adventures, and endurance training, ultimately culminating in a 24-hour non-stop dream race. This journey from racing novices to budding professionals takes place against the stunning backdrop of Pingtan, with the Pingtan International Karting Circuit serving as the main stage for their aspirations.

The show doesn't just focus on the races; it also showcases Pingtan's natural and cultural wonders. From the breathtaking seascapes of the Northern Ecological Corridor to the romantic beaches of Tannan Bay, the enchanting views of Longwangtou Ocean Park, and the unique charm of Longshanli Happy Town and Matui Village, each location steals the spotlight.

"After watching Racing Youth, Season 2, I was captivated by Pingtan's natural beauty and distinctive cultural landscape.

Xie Wei, executive director and general manager of Pingtan Haichuang Cultural Tourism Industry Development Co., Ltd. and Pingtan Film and Television Service Center Co., Ltd., has expressed Pingtan's commitment to promoting motorsports. He hopes that by integrating cultural variety shows with the local tourism industry, they can empower Pingtan's status as an international tourism island known for its "sports tourism" and further enhance its brand recognition, ultimately contributing to the creation of an "Island of Branded Events and Energy."

The power of variety shows serves as a gentle breeze, drawing the attention of numerous viewers, thereby elevating Pingtan's fame and reputation. This, in turn, attracts more tourists to explore the island and immerse themselves in its unique charm.

The natural landscapes depicted in the show, such as the long and winding coastline, pristine sandy beaches, and crystal-clear blue waters, alongside its cultural attractions like the regionally themed Longshanli Happy Town and the quaint fishing village of Matui, combined with the exhilarating racing scenes, collectively illuminate the new vitality and direction of Pingtan's cultural and tourism industry.
