113 Formula Renault
"Player Zhang Yifei, what do you think is the difference between your opponent and you?"
"Player Zhang Yifei, do you think you can easily defeat these opponents in the future?"
"Player Zhang Yifei, what is your next event plan? Are you sure to win?"
In an instant, these reporters began to ask questions in a hurry, basically tempting Zhang Yifei to Zhang Kuang’s reply.
Just as Zhang Yifei was about to answer, Lu Ningping leaned over and blocked the front and said, "Thank you for your interview. The contestants are about to attend the award ceremony and need to leave first, sorry." After that, he pulled Zhang Yifei to the podium.
These reporters wanted to come with them, but because the award ceremony was about to be held, the on-site staff also stopped them.
"You guys speak without restraint. The media reporters from Hong Kong Island are different from those in the mainland. They are simply a perfect way to make the newspaper sales or viewership. This is a trap for you."
"I know."
Zhang Yifei replied calmly, "Didn't the Hong Kong reporter just want to make big news, establish himself as an arrogant and arrogant image, and then cause criticism of the topic?" This routine is a little too obvious.
"Don't you know that you still say those things, don't you know how to keep a little low?"
Lu Ningping's tone was a little helpless. He was not the kind of mean person. Racing drivers must have a sense of aura. Moreover, Zhang Yifei is still a young man. If the young man is not arrogant, can he still be called a young man?
However, Zhang Yifei's answer was really too straightforward, and he was a little tactful, so he would give his opponent some mercy.
"I also want to be low-key, but my strength doesn't allow it!"
Hearing this sentence, Lu Ningping swallowed everything he wanted to say. He didn't know whether to persuade Zhang Yifei, but he still felt that what he said seemed to make some sense.
The award ceremony of the Hong Kong Kart Championship was not very grand, but the top three contestants stood on the podium and presented trophys and flowers, and also had a championship prize of 10,000 Hong Kong dollars.
When he walked off the podium, the group of reporters wanted to make some "amazing words" from Zhang Yifei, but they were all blocked by Lu Ningping. He didn't like Hong Kong Island's more exaggerated media interviews.
On the ferry back, Zhang Yifei and Lu Ningping stood at the bow of the boat. He asked, "Uncle Lu, when I saw you left, you took a CD. Is it a video of this game?"
"Um."
"No, Uncle Lu, although I ran very well, there is no need to save the aftertaste."
Zhang Yifei joked that this kind of karting event only plays a step-by-step role for him and has little meaning in reviewing it.
Lu Ningping did not respond, but asked back: "Have you heard of the Renault Formula?"
Renault Equation? Zhang Yifei didn’t expect Lu Ningping to suddenly say this, the famous Renault Equation, he naturally heard of it.
The first session of the Renault Formula in later generations was held in 2000, and the first session was created, that is, Finnish driver Reknan, after winning the Formula Renault in the UK, directly crossed the F3 and F3000 events, and became an F1 driver in one go.
You should know that according to the normal process, after winning the Formula Elementary Championship, you have to participate in the F3 level event and win at least several sub-station championships before you have the chance to upgrade to the F3000 event. Whether you can become an F1 driver in the end depends on your strength and fate.
As a result, Reknan was only the champion of Renault and was recognized by the F1 team, which indirectly proved the value of Renault's equation.
This made Renault surpass the old Ford Formula in one fell swoop, and even crushed many Formula events such as Volkswagen and BMW, which are also rising stars, and became the most famous and top Formula Elementary Formula. Many top F1 drivers in later generations have participated in Formula Renault.
It’s just 1999 now. If Renault’s first Zhang Yifei remembers correctly, it should be 2000. Has the history of this world changed?
Of course, Zhang Yifei would not tell this kind of problem, but just pretended not to know and shook his head.
"Formula Renault Racing is a brand event held by Renault manufacturers in the past two years. It has not been a long time, but it is the most popular formula in Europe at present. Even as long as the results are outstanding enough, you have the chance to be selected by the F1 team and surpass the F3 and F3000 events."
"The video disc I got just now is to be sent to a cooperative club in Europe to see if you can get a study place and enter the European Driver Academy. If you are lucky enough, it would be better to let the team take a chance to get a young driver's trial training place, but it's not realistic at the moment, so don't have too much hope."
The reason why European professional racing is the strongest in the world is because they have complete echelon training, from karting at a age to teenage drivers’ academy, can be said to have laid a path of vocational training.
Currently, most Asian drivers have become monks halfway through. Japan has barely trained echelons to develop young drivers. But I don’t know if it’s because Japanese drivers are too naughty or something else. Anyway, the drivers who compete in world events are basically European drivers, just like Honda and Toyota manufacturers, and I haven’t seen much training results.
The Fengfeng Club is still too simple and can no longer adapt to the training intensity and competition atmosphere that Zhang Yifei needs. Especially after seeing Zhang Yifei's potential and strength today, Lu Ningping began to feel a little anxious. He didn't want to see such a good seedling being delayed.
"Uncle Lu, is this what you said before to go to Europe?"
"Um."
“It’s too difficult.”
Zhang Yifei sighed that if you want to enter the drivers’ academy, you need to agree with the European side, but at this stage, whether it is age, strength or other reasons, the European drivers’ academy cannot identify with a Chinese driver.
"It's up to people. I believe your strength, and what you lack is an opportunity!"
Lu Ningping naturally understood the difficulty, but he chose to hope!
"Uncle Lu, if I could go to Europe, I would prove myself."
Zhang Yifei replied confidently, without any hesitation or dodging, he would not waste such opportunities.
When they returned to Hong Kong Island, the two of them returned to the club first because the karts had to be put back into the garage.
Then there was Zhang Yifei's routine training, and he did not stop because he won the Hong Kong Island Kart Championship, because this was just a starting point and was still far from the end of the equation.
However, Lu Ningping did not guide the club, but took the event video to go out to find the funders behind the club and contacted the drivers' academy through their relationship. After all, this is still a world of capital.
When he went home in the evening, Aunt Lu made a large table of dishes to celebrate Zhang Yifei's first championship in his life, which made Zhang Yifei feel a little embarrassed. Uncle Lu also came back while having dinner. Facing Zhang Yifei's inquiring eyes, he just nodded and did not mention the specific situation, because such a thing was too urgent.
Compared to Zhang Yifei and Lu Ningping's calmness, the one who is most excited about Zhang Yifei's winning the championship is Lu Ningjing, which is like she won the championship. This overly supportive behavior made Zhang Yifei feel alert. Is this little girl's movie with some bad idea?
