Junko Takeda did not agree to Hank's request at the time, but instead said she would discuss it with the fleet management.

Because the quota of participation involves Toyota sponsorship, the youth training team is currently affiliated with the Toyota Racing Division and does not have the authority to agree to this little thing at will.

However, the punishment for Zhang Yifei's fight was soon dropped. Because he was not a professional player, he did not have any penalty for deductions or bans. It is impossible for Zhang Yifei to be prohibited from training.

So it was more of a punishment for money. Zhang Yifei was fined 200,000 yen, as well as compensation for Hank's medical expenses and later compensation of 200,000 yen.

In 1999, the exchange rate of the Japanese yen to the RMB was about 10,000 yen to more than 700 yuan, which means that Zhang Yifei fined the 400,000 yen, which was almost 30,000 yuan.

This punishment can be said to have made Zhang Yifei feel extremely painful. He punched 30,000 yuan, which is really valuable!

But if Zhang Yifei chooses again, he will punch Hank in the face!

After announcing the convoy's penalty decision, Junko Takeda looked at Zhang Yifei, hesitated and said, "Do you have 400,000 yen? If you don't have any words, I can lend you temporarily."

The incident has been investigated clearly. In terms of emotions, Junko Takeda understands Zhang Yifei, but rationally, she still needs to maintain the rules and regulations of the youth training base.

400,000 yen is not a small amount. According to the information, Zhang Yifei was exposed to karts very late, and he is likely not a wealthy family.

After contacting each other during this period, Junko Takeda still admires this hard-working Chinese boy, so she plans to help him.

"No, I'm fine."

Thirty thousand yuan is not a small amount, but it is not as good as Zhang Yifei can't take it out. He is not used to borrowing money from women.

"By the way, what will you do if Hank says he wants a place to participate?"

Compared with the fine, this is what Zhang Yifei cares about. He is determined to win the quota of the Renault Formula!

"Reject directly. Although Renault's Formula will not directly participate in the Toyota team's name, we will provide sponsorship. This is related to the future development reputation of Toyota team. We must select the strongest players to participate."

Junko Takeda said it very directly. Formula Renault is a manufacturer competition for Renault in France. No other automobile companies will send their own factory teams, otherwise isn't this admitting that they are not as good as Renault?

So in this case, it is usually the case that the driver participates in the name of the driver and then sponsors the manufacturer. For example, the car god Schumacher is sponsored and trained by Mercedes-Benz, but the primary equation starts with Ford.

"However, Hank is the most famous among Toyota youth training drivers, and his father is an investor in the Arrows Team. At present, Toyota Racing Division is in contact with the Arrows Team, and may compensate him for the impact from other aspects."

The Arrows was one of the F1 teams in the 1980s and 1990s, but due to poor performance and shortage of funds in the later stage, it finally declared bankruptcy in 2003.

Junko Takeda did not say it clearly, but Zhang Yifei heard the meaning of her words, that is, the Arrows team has shown a downward trend, and it is very difficult to support it, so Toyota plans to take over this market.

It is also very common to take over the F1 team, especially for Toyota's new factory team that wants to enter the F1 circle, the fastest and most convenient way is to acquire a F1 team that is about to go bankrupt, which can save a lot of time and detours.

No wonder Hank, the grandson, was so slapped and was able to win the runner-up of the Australian Kart Championship. It is probably because of his father that the time and training effect of contacting karts were better than those of ordinary peers, which made him win at the starting line.

I have to say that Formula Racing is really a game of fighting for dads.

"Don't consider giving him compensation. I know what Hank wants is nothing more than a quota for the Renault Formula. He has only one opponent at the moment. If I give him three seconds to simulate the event, he will definitely agree."

"Let's let three seconds?"

Junko Takeda simply doubted whether she heard it wrong. Zhang Yifei's fastest lap speed in the track practice is 1 minute and 29 seconds, while Hank's fastest lap speed is 1 minute and 30 seconds.

In other words, the gap between the two is only a second to make it. If Zhang Yifei makes three seconds, even if Hank doesn't improve at all, he will have to run to at least 1 minute and 27 seconds before he can win.

The track record was 1 minute 24 seconds 23 created by Sato Takuro. Team analyst Ukyo Yamamoto predicted Zhang Yifei's training results. After three months of training, Zhang Yifei's limit increased, that is, he ran to 1 minute 27 seconds, which was a three-second gap with the track record.

There is only one month left in the simulation competition. Even if Zhang Yifei can exceed the prediction limit, he will probably only run within 1 minute and 27 seconds. This result will not be absolutely sure to beat Hank.

Because according to Hank's level, if he can be ashamed and brave in a month, it should be possible to improve for one second, that is, he can run to about 1 minute and 29 seconds.

If Zhang Yifei wants to win steadily, he must run to a time of about 1 minute and 26 seconds, which is only 2 seconds away from the track record!

Can a new karter really do a two-month-month equation to train and run a track record of 2 seconds away from the Japanese F3 champion?

If this answer is placed worldwide, it is not impossible. Needless to say, Senna and Schumacher, take Alonso as an example. It was also two years since he jumped from a kart to f3. He participated in f3 for the first time and won 6 sub-station championships, setting eight lap records. The top F1 drivers will always sweep like cheating.

But the problem is that these are European drivers who have shown their genius qualities since the kart era. Why should Zhang Yifei compare with them? The Japanese F3 champion is not strong, but the records he set are not easily accessible to a Chinese kart driver. In the eyes of Junko Takeda, this is tantamount to "suicide".

"Yes, just let three seconds."

Zhang Yifei was sure again that he had told Li Tao to let him thirty seconds on Qixing Mountain.

Today at the Toyota Youth Training Center, he also said that he would let Hank for three seconds. If compared with Li Tao and Hank, it would naturally be incomparable. The difficulty of letting Li Tao for 30 seconds may not be as difficult as let Hank for one second.

But in Zhang Yifei's eyes, Li Tao is actually the same as Hank, both are useless!

"You are equivalent to giving up the Renault quota. You should know that if you shine in Renault, you can directly enter the F1 team's sight. I hope you will think carefully."

"No need to think about it, this is something I have decided, Manager Junko, you can convey it directly to Hank."

Zhang Yifei is still firm in his thoughts. People always need to be under pressure to be motivated. At present, no one in the youth training base can put pressure on him to improve.

It seems dangerous to burn your boats, but if you don’t put yourself in the Jedi, how can you fight back?

Zhang Yifei's goal for himself is no longer limited to the level of Asian drivers. He is eager to compete with those real European geniuses.

If you want to defeat a genius, you must be stronger than a genius!

Another point is that Junko Takeda is good to him and doesn’t care about him. She celebrated her birthday before and borrowed money just now, which means she is sincerely helping herself.

Zhang Yifei understood that if this matter involves the Arrow Convoy, then Junko Takeda would be under great pressure to deal with it. Moreover, his fine of 200,000 yen is actually not a "severe punishment". There must be a reason why Junko Takeda argues, and he doesn't want to throw all the mess to others.
