118 Field Showdown
He Lang said this relationship lightly. He actually returned from training abroad, so he joined the current strongest Subaru team at a young age.
You should know that Subaru Auto does not have a joint venture in China, which means that the so-called Subaru team cannot be strictly counted as a Chinese team. To be precise, it should be the reserve echelon of the world-class Subaru team currently competing in WRC.
This passage is a twilight statement, and the simple explanation is that the one who really named Subaru's title is the Subaru professional team headquartered in the UK.
This team in China is just a regional team temporarily formed by Subaru to name the Hong Kong-Beijing Rally. However, some changes have taken place in this world, which may be to open up the domestic market. After the Hong Kong-Beijing Rally was suspended, the Chinese Subaru team did not cancel it, but instead absorbed the development drivers of the Subaru World Team, maintained the scale of the Chinese Subaru team, and continued to compete in some domestic and Asian rally races.
He Lang also trained in the Citroen branch in the UK. It was because of this experience that he was attracted by the Subaru team and joined the Chinese Subaru team camp.
It’s just that his training time was earlier than Xu Wenfeng, so in a sense, Xu Wenfeng is his junior brother, and both parties are old acquaintances.
The reason why Xu Wenfeng has never joined the professional team is actually because of He Lang. After he finished the Guangdong underground competition, he directly entered the Chinese Subaru team, hoping to use this as a springboard and finally join the World Subaru team in WRC.
He Lang naturally knew about Xu Wenfeng's loss, which made him pay more attention to Zhang Yifei. Later, he heard that Zhang Yifei planned to run a field competition with Shen Dong, so he even came directly from Yanjing to Donghai, intending to watch the game himself and see how Zhang Yifei ran his professional field.
After all, the streets are on the streets after all. No matter how strong the street drivers are, they cannot integrate into the professional atmosphere. He invited Zhang Yifei before, because he was interested in his potential. If Zhang Yifei can show his professional prospects this time, he will have to find a way to get this kid to the Subaru team.
"It turns out that Xu Wenfeng is your junior brother, no wonder you are so concerned about it. But if this kid really shows his professional potential, then our Volkswagen team will not let this good seedling go."
Xu Hao also replied with a smile. Although he is a friend of He Lang, as the team manager of Donghai Volkswagen, he has a professional obligation to find stronger drivers and echelon reserves for the team. If Zhang Yifei shows strong strength, Donghai Volkswagen will also take action.
"No problem, but I would like to remind you that this kid is not that easy to attract."
The Donghai Volkswagen team on the track finally ended a round of training at 10 a.m. and cleared the venue.
"Come on, what rules are you going to follow to get the fastest lap speed, or to finish the set number of laps first?"
Shen Dong first asked at this time, because it was just a one-on-one fight between two people, and there was no way to follow the real field competition.
Generally speaking, there are two ways to fight in this kind of field race. One is to run for a few minutes and then get the fastest lap speed in this time range. This is also the scene where a general field race creates lap records. In the official competition, the qualifying race is also ranked in this way to start the drivers.
The second type is the karting type that was used to run, setting a specific number of laps, whoever finishes first will win.
In fact, there is a third type, which is to set the number of kilometers in the official race, and the first car that completes the race and is a regular lap can be considered to win the championship. However, this is even more complicated, so Chen Dong didn't say it.
“Is anyone timed the lap?”
Zhang Yifei asked, this was the territory chosen by Chen Dong. He was not familiar with the runway of the Donghai Volkswagen. He didn't know if anyone counted it, and whether this person was reliable.
Chen Dong naturally heard Zhang Yifei's implication, and he replied disdainfully: "Don't worry about this. The referee is from the Donghai Volkswagen, and they will abide by professional ethics."
Chen Dong had considered these things before and had already notified the referees of Donghai Volkswagen in advance. After all, Dongfang Motorsports is also considered a reserve semi-professional team of Donghai Volkswagen, which is also related.
It was precisely because of saying hello in advance that He Lang knew that Zhang Yifei was going to run with Chen Dong, and he rushed to the East China Sea to watch the game.
"Forget it, I'm too lazy to get into trouble, just run fifteen laps."
Zhang Yifei still chose the second method, which is relatively simple and rough.
"what ever."
As the host, Chen Dong already has an advantage in geographical location, and he does not want to argue about these small details.
After deciding on the competition method, the staff of the Donghai Volkswagen 222 team also came over and signaled that the track had been cleared and they could practice a few laps and tire warming normally to prepare for the official race to be held next.
There was no too much nonsense. Zhang Yifei and Chen Dong got into the car and started driving to the track to prepare for pre-race.
While waiting before, Zhang Yifei happened to see the signs of the Volkswagen Track and got some basic parameters, such as the total length of this track is 2.39 kilometers, the road surface is 12 meters wide, and the width is 20 meters. It is a third-level track that meets the safety standards of the FIA track.
Compared with the kart track in the club and the previous small racing track in O Island, this one is undoubtedly a real track. Not only can it be used for racing, but even the F3-level Formula Racing can be hosted. Donghai Volkswagen is still well built in this regard.
At the same time, the design maximum speed of this track is 190km/h, the average speed is 120km/h, and it can accommodate 25 racing cars to start at the same time. The entire track has 12 curves, 14 referee observation points, and 4 consecutive curves. It can be said to be a very standard track.
Zhang Yifei has run a lot of this standard track in his previous life. Even if it was the first time he was on the track in his life, the familiarity quickly arose.
However, Zhang Yifei did not drive very quickly with the warm tires and familiar lap speed of the track, but was driving at the normal speed. Chen Dong next to him was obviously holding his breath, his speed was much faster than Zhang Yifei, and he still pulled up the revs and hit the accelerator, looking provocative.
Behind the glass curtain wall of the driver's lounge on the second floor next to him, Xu Hao looked at Zhang Yifei's posture and movements and did not feel anything special. Another thing is that he was a little too calm in the face of Chen Dong's provocation, not like this young man who was passionate and impulsive.
So is this kid good psychological quality or does his strength not allow him to be arrogant?
"He Lang, this kid is really as powerful as you said? Why didn't I see it?"
Xu Hao retired from a traditional professional driver. For him, profession and street drivers are two different worlds. Even no matter how powerful street drivers are, they cannot get his professional recognition.
Just like the old saying, never challenge my profession with your hobbies. This is Xu Hao's pride as a professional driver, and the group with the best driving skills in the world only has professional drivers, so he has no feelings or recognition of Zhang Yifei's underground record.
"The warm-up tire is almost over, and you will soon see his strength. Xu Wenfeng must not be treated with street drivers, so those who can beat Xu Wenfeng should not be treated with street eyes."
