My Take
The race queen circuit is genuinely tough to get right; you're standing in the middle of screaming engines, heat, and chaos, and your job is to look completely unrattled and magnetic at the same time. That takes more physical stamina and poise than people give credit for. At 163 cm she's on the compact side for a model, but honestly that probably made her a natural fit trackside, where proportion and presence matter more than runway height. She also works as an interpreter and streams in Chinese on Douyu, which tells me she's not someone who just faded out — there's a staying power there. The image I get is someone with Tokyo sharpness and circuit-hardened toughness running in parallel, quietly.
