After being stunned for a moment, Zhang Yifei quickly reacted. He bowed slightly and said, "Hello, my name is Zhang Yifei, I am the trial driver who came here today."

"Hello, my name is Lu Ningping, his kart coach."

Zhang Yifei and Lu Ningping still greeted him in Chinese ways, and he was really not used to the behavior of bowing at any time.

"Hello, Yifeijun."

"Hello, Mr. Lu Ningping."

Junko Takeda also cooperated to give a greeting, but Zhang Yifei was surprised this time because she spoke not in English, but in Chinese!

"You can speak Chinese?"

Because he was so surprised, Zhang Yifei asked directly.

"Yes, I took the Chinese department when I was in college. You can talk to me directly in Chinese."

Zhang Yifei didn't know what to say about a female manager of a Toyota Youth Training Team who could speak Chinese. The world is really crazy.

"Okay, Manager Takeda Junko, when will I start the trial?"

Even though he was surprised, Zhang Yifei didn't have the energy to explore why Junko Takeda became the team manager. He only had one thing he was considering now, that is, to become a Toyota youth training student through trial training.

"You can call me Junko directly. The trial is ready and can start at any time."

"Then let's start now."

"Please go to the locker room to change your racing clothes first."

After saying this, Junko Takeda led the way and took Zhang Yifei to the driver's lounge.

Entering the driver's lounge, just like the NBA player's lounge, there are rows of wardrobes to store driver's personal belongings, such as racing suits, helmets, gloves, etc.

I don’t know if Zhang Yifei is the first youth training driver or if the other drivers are not here today, but the entire driver’s lounge is empty anyway.

Zhang Yifei found his name on a wardrobe, and after opening it, he had a full set of racing protective gear inside. When he contacted the trial before, Lu Ningping had sent all his information to the Toyota team, so they had prepared these things in advance.

To be honest, this also surprised Zhang Yifei, because under normal circumstances, only the trained drivers will provide these items. Even some driver academies need to pay for it themselves. Toyota can prepare in advance without the trial training, which is indeed very sincere. It seems that they have made sufficient preparations for the future fight for F1.

It’s just a pity that Zhang Yifei has historical experience. Toyota will have a hard time in F1 in the future, and it is basically the lowest level. Finally, it ended in 2010 and announced its withdrawal from F1 with BMW. I wonder if the world history will change.

After changing into the full set of equipment, it fits well in every aspect because it is tailor-made. Everything is ready, Takeda Junko took Zhang Yifei and Lu Ningping to the racing parking area.

However, the moment he entered the garage, Zhang Yifei was stunned when he saw the car he was about to drive next. Because the one placed in front of him was not a kart, but a Formula racing car in various senses!

That's right, it's not the kind of kart that Zhang Yifei drove in the club before, even the 250cc super kart with an aerodynamic kit. The one placed in front of me was a pure Formula racing car, just like the f1 racing car I saw on TV.

Now the problem is right in front of you, that is, Zhang Yifei has never driven a real Formula racing car. This is not a difference in appearance. It is the operation method, sitting posture, body posture, etc., all things are different.

To put it simply, it feels like a person who has only driven an ordinary vehicle and suddenly wants him to drive a supercar.

Don’t think that you can drive as you get your driver’s license and get into the supercar. Whether it’s a Ferrari or Lamborghini, you will have operational training for new owners when selling each supercar.

Due to the visual field of supercars and the difference in rear driving force, it is easy for ordinary novices to lose control. Especially for some people who don’t understand it, they start the sports mode as soon as they start, thinking that as long as they step down the accelerator, they will feel the feeling of pushing back caused by speed.

But the reality will happen, not the pushback feeling brought by the speed by moving forward in a straight line, but the huge horsepower that makes the rear wheel slip and directly lose control of the rear wheel to shake the tail. Therefore, the sports mode on the supercar is also nicknamed the paradise mode.

Because Junko Takeda knows Chinese, Zhang Yifei did not speak, but looked at Uncle Lu next to him, with his eyes very complicated.

Similarly, Lu Ningping also looked at Zhang Yifei unexpectedly. They all made a major mistake that they had never thought about before. That is, Japan is not like Europe, where the drivers' academy has a complete echelon training starting from karting.

Toyota is a professional team that intends to enter the F1 team. They do want to recruit and train youth training drivers, but their youth training development plan does not include the kart part, but starts directly from the equation.

So the car in front of me is a racing car built by Toyota to fight for the F1, with the model named tf101. However, this one is still different from the version that will really be on the F1 track in the future. It is just a prototype car for testing.

Moreover, the engine is different. In order to adapt to youth training riders, the power output is much lower, with only 200p horsepower and a maximum speed of 260.

This power data doesn't seem to be very good. Many modified cars on the street have horsepower reaching about 400p, and there are thousands of horsepower in later generations.

But the power data is always just the numbers on the books. If you really want to run, you have to refer to the vehicle itself. For example, the mass of the entire GTR vehicle is more than 1.5 tons before lightweight modification, and the weight of the Formula Racing car in front of you is less than 500kg!

No modification is as lightweight as it is, and the three-fold quality gap makes this Formula car reach a 100-100 in 4 seconds. This is the data that the Times Supercar can achieve.

The car is a Formula racing car, but the person is not a Formula rider. Just when Zhang Yifei and Lu Ningping were in a complicated mood, the Manager Junko next to him saw that the two people did not respond, so he asked, "Are you ready to start?"

"Can I wait a moment? I have something to say."

Lu Ningping replied first, he planned to delay some time to find a solution.

"No problem, I'll wait for you outside and come in ten minutes."

Many drivers will do pre-race psychological counseling or have tactical arrangements with their coaches. Junko Takeda has seen many such situations, so she leaves time for Zhang Yifei to buffer her mentally.

But the matter was not what Junko Takeda imagined. After seeing her walk out, Lu Ningping said with a serious expression: "The information and invitation letters sent by Toyota did not mention the trial content and vehicle. At that time, I thought the opportunity was rare and didn't think much about it, so I quickly agreed. Now it seems that I was too careless before."

Lu Ningping, a kart coach, actually became a monk halfway through and did not get involved in the level of equations. Because the overall environment of formulas in Hong Kong Island currently only reaches the level of kart racing, the strongest performance of the Wind Chasing Club is the super kart that was customized for Zhang Yifei later.
