MILAN – Taiwanese singer-actor Jimmy Lin is back on the racing track less than a year after his traffic accident in Taoyuan city in July 2022.

The 48-year-old, who has made good progress in his recovery, is on vacation in Milan, Italy, with his wife, former model-actress Kelly Chen, 39.

Lin, a racing aficionado, was asked by some fans whether he would be visiting the site of the Italian Grand Prix.

On Wednesday, he posted on Instagram Stories a photo of him in a racing suit with the location stated as F1 Monza Grand Prix, with the hashtag #F1Clienti.

He also posted photos of himself in the cockpit of a racing car, with the caption: “Long time no see.”

According to Ferrari’s website, the F1 Clienti programme offers enthusiasts the chance to buy Formula 1 single-seaters that have been raced by the Ferrari F1 team in recent seasons, as well as vehicles that have competed in the championships in years past, and to drive them on the track. 

Lin posted later on Thursday that he was coached by Marc Gene, a former F1 driver and the current ambassador for the Ferrari F1 team. Lin posted a photo of himself with Gene and wrote, “Best coach”.

Chen posted on Instagram Stories footage of herself in a racing car and sitting on the circuit as she noted its steep slope.

Lin posted on social media last weekend that his luggage did not arrive on his first day in Milan. His agency later told Taiwan’s Next Apple News that there was an AirTag in the luggage, with the location pinpointed as Paris. The airline was handling the matter.
