This is just a small welcome ceremony, which is basically the same as having a meal, so the ending time is very early.

After that, Zhang Yifei did not go to the single dormitory provided by Toyota Training Base, but returned to the hotel he had stayed in with Lu Ningping.

Because the trial has been passed, Lu Ningping has no way to stay in the Toyota Youth Training Camp. His mission has been completed. He will take the plane the next morning to return to Hong Kong Island and continue his coaching career at the Wind Chasing Club.

"Yifei, my ability can only take care of you to this point, and it depends on your own."

When packing up his things, Lu Ningping said with a little sadness that Zhang Yifei will walk alone in his future career path, and he will not be able to provide more help in Formula Racing.

"Don't worry, Uncle Lu, I have no problem myself."

To be honest, Zhang Yifei is also a little sad when he parted this time. It may take a year or two to see Uncle Lu again next time.

And if I want Uncle Lu to become his coach again, I guess I will build my own racing team, so I don’t know when it will be.

At this time, Lu Ningping took out a bank card from his pocket and handed it to Zhang Yifei and said, "This is the card that your father and I helped you with at Citibank. There are one million deposits in it. There are many places to spend money next. If the money is not enough, call us."

Toyota youth training drivers only waive Zhang Yifei's training costs, but if Zhang Yifei wants to participate in professional events in the future, he still needs to spend a lot of events. This million is to prepare for future participation in Formula Racing.

So Zhang Yifei was not polite, and took the bank card directly from Uncle Lu and replied: "Thank you, Uncle Lu."

"There is nothing else to tell me. Remember that you have become a professional driver now and you have to face many things like a man in the future."

Lu Ningping patted Zhang Yifei on the shoulder. From today on, even a formal professional driver, Zhang Yifei can no longer look at it from the perspective of a child in the past. Everything in the future needs to be borne by Zhang Yifei himself with the shoulders of a man.

Hearing this advice, Zhang Yifei smiled and said nothing. Men did not say anything based on their mouths, but wanted to show their responsibilities in their actions in the future.

Next, Lu Ningping explained some trivial matters, so he asked Zhang Yifei to return to the Toyota Youth Training Base because training will officially start tomorrow morning, and he did not want to delay Zhang Yifei's training time.

Faced with Lu Ningping's request to return to the training base, Zhang Yifei was not pretentious. He hugged Uncle Lu for a simple hug and said goodbye, and did not say such words as sending him the next day.

Because Zhang Yifei knew that only by running out of grades would he be the best reward for them.

After calling a taxi back to the youth training base, Zhang Yifei moved into a single dormitory, which is a typical Japanese tatami-style room.

Fortunately, Zhang Yifei did not have any habit of recognizing beds, and the dormitory was very good in terms of decoration style and equipment. After all, in a money-burning game like racing, the amount of money spent on accommodation conditions is almost negligible.

At 8 o'clock the next morning, Zhang Yifei started formal training at Toyota. Unlike karts, Formula racing has higher requirements for physical fitness. Before the team trial training for half an hour, Zhang Yifei could almost describe it as dehydration, and his neck muscles were extremely sore.

If this is included in the official competition, Zhang Yifei's current physical fitness may not be able to withstand such high G-value heavy pressure and the sequelae of high temperature dehydration, and will experience intermittent black vision, and may even faint directly.

In order to adapt to the future pace of the race, Formula drivers, including F1 drivers, will conduct a lot of daily training. Generally speaking, the training volume is guaranteed to be no less than eight hours a day.

This training volume is of high intensity in any professional sports, so racing is far from as easy as it looks, and you cannot look at professional racing with the usual perspective of driving.

No success is easy. Being a car god and a car king also has extremely hard sweat behind them.

The driver training at Toyota Youth Training Base is mainly divided into two parts: physical training and practical operation.

Among them, physical training is divided into three categories: strength, endurance and coordination and reaction ability. Each item will have a special physical training plan, and will be paired with a nutritionist to ensure the driver's physical needs.

As the name suggests, strength training is to improve driver strength. Many people may not understand why Formula drivers have such high physical requirements. To put it simply, the F1 racing cars of this era have no steering support!

That's right, the steering of the f1 racing car helped to be officially introduced in 2001, and the steering wheel was as heavy as a big deal!

In this era, operating the steering wheel of F1 requires about 30 kilograms of strength, especially when cornering, strong arms are needed to maintain the racing car on the route the driver wants.

Think about the distance between an F1 race may be as high as 300 kilometers, and you must accurately control the steering wheel at every moment. What if you don’t have a Kirin arm?

In addition to basic strength training, Formula drivers pay special attention to neck muscle training, because during racing, the driver's torso is fixed to the driver's seat with seat belts, and whether it is longitudinal or horizontal acceleration, it can be absorbed by the seat and seat belts.

But the neck cannot be fixed, and with the weight of the helmet, it is considered the body part that bears the most pressure.

Therefore, equation exercise requires extremely high requirements for neck muscles, and even if you wear neck protection, you cannot share the pressure of the neck.

There is no way to share the burden by equipment, so you can only rely on the body itself to force it! The youth training camp uses a special machinery to stretch the neck from all angles to improve the strength of the neck muscles.

Or the driver may use the reverse bow training method by himself, that is, lie flat on the ground, then arch your waist upwards, and support it only by the head and legs. This is also a common method of neck muscle training in fighting sports.

In addition to equipment, there are also cycling, swimming, marathons and other sports. Just like the British F1 driver Jenson Patton, he once achieved excellent results in professional triathlon competitions.

Finally, there is reaction and coordination training, such as taking backhanded tennis balls that bounce back from the wall, then quickly lie on a bunch of cards, quickly recognize the designated cards and memorize the contents on the cards, etc.

This method is very similar to some memory training methods, which can strengthen the driver's reaction ability and memory, and at the same time expand the coordination and coordination ability of the limbs.

In addition to physical training, on the other hand, it is practical operation. This part is simpler to understand, which is various track practices and simulation racing.

All Formula drivers’ driving skills are actually based on time and training. This is why, if you need to change four sets of single tires for a week of high-intensity training, because the consumption is too high.

However, Formula drivers not only learn driving techniques, but also include theoretical knowledge in actual operation, and need to understand the various structures and vehicle performance of the car.

Only by fully understanding and familiarizing yourself with the various functions of racing can you achieve the best results in the race.

These professional trainings are the guarantee of the strength of professional drivers and the biggest difference between them and street drivers.
