145 Assemble the team

The joy of victory made Zhang Yifei unable to help but want to share it with others. He has no acquaintances in this person, but only Xie Tiancheng has not been in contact for more than a month. I don’t know how this guy’s career progresses.

Take out your cell phone from your pocket and dial Xie Tiancheng's phone number. I waited for a long time before someone answered the call.

"It's rare, why did you call me on your own initiative today?"

Xie Tiancheng has calculated that he has known Zhang Yifei for half a year. This is the first time Zhang Yifei has taken the initiative to contact him. It is like the sun hitting the west.

"Good, I'm going to Europe to participate in the Renault Formula soon."

"What? So fast?"

Although it is not a racing type, I still know one thing. It took only two months for Zhang Yifei to enter the Toyota Youth Training Base, and he was qualified to participate in the Renault Formula. This progress is indeed very fast.

According to the speed of ordinary kart drivers, two months should be to participate in the primary Combass Formula, or this F4-level Formula racing. The European Renault Formula has become a high-level equation in Asia.

"Then are you participating in Renault Combas or Renault 2000 European Cup?"

"Renault 2000 European Cup."

When Xie Tiancheng heard that Zhang Yifei confirmed that he was participating in the European Cup for Formula Renault 2000, he was even more surprised because even in Europe, Renault 2000 can be considered a high-level Formula event. The next step can be directly entered into f3 or even a higher f3000. Zhang Yifei's step forward is too big.

"Surprise, after all, the strength is here."

"I'm surprised, but can you be more modest."

Xie Tianchen replied helplessly, and Zhang Yifei became more and more proud.

"There is no way, I can't do it. By the way, how are your career development?"

"I successfully tried the production team and am now their test driver and should be the third driver soon."

"It's not bad, it's better than me. You have to know that I'm still a youth training driver now."

Hearing Zhang Yifei's words, Xie Tiancheng just smiled. He naturally knew that Zhang Yifei could participate in the European Cup in Renault. In a sense, he was already at the top level in Asia.

"Do you have time tonight? Why don't you have a drink to celebrate?"

"Come on, I'm all a professional driver and I'm still drinking. I have something to do today, so I'll talk about it next time."

"Okay, just wait to celebrate your first European championship."

“Must!”

Zhang Yifei was not humble either. Isn’t he just going to Europe just to win the championship? Isn’t this ambition a travel agent?

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Yifei called another phone call, this time to Uncle Lu from Hong Kong Island.

At this time, Uncle Lu was just at lunch break, so when he saw Zhang Yifei calling, he immediately pressed the answer button.

"Yifei, what's wrong? Are you in trouble?"

Lu Ningping also knew Zhang Yifei's character. If it weren't for something, he wouldn't usually call and chat.

"It's nothing, I just tell you good news. I got a quota for Toyota sponsorship to participate in the European Cup in Renault."

"What, you got the quota for Renault's European Cup?"

Now it was Lu Ningping's turn to start to be shocked. Since Yifei entered the Toyota youth training base, he has basically not asked about Zhang Yifei's results.

First, I don’t want to put too much pressure on him, because at Zhang Yifei’s age, he has done well enough.

Second, in his eyes, Yifei is already a man, and he needs to bear many things in the future, so Lu Ningping lets him face all this alone.

Unexpectedly, in just two months, he told himself that he had received a quota for Toyota sponsorship to participate in the European Cup in Renault.

You should know that the Renault equation is the highest goal of Lu Ningping and others at this stage. I thought I would have to train for half a year and then participate in this F4 equation, so that I could finally get a place to participate in the Renault equation.

As a result, this plan, which would have been achieved in two months, was achieved. He didn't know what Zhang Yifei had experienced during this period, but Lu Ningping knew that it was definitely not easy for Zhang Yifei.

"Yifei, I..."

Lu Ningping originally wanted to say a few happy words, but he was a little choked as soon as he spoke. After changing to a kart coach, he knew how difficult it was to enter Formula racing based on the Chinese, and Zhang Yifei made history.

On the other end of the phone, Zhang Yifei naturally heard Lu Ningping's choking voice, so at this time he said relaxed: "Uncle Lu, don't be too happy too early. This is just a qualification for the competition. If you are on the rear of the crane on the track, you will not be able to laugh."

"Even if it's the last one, it doesn't matter, at least you're already standing in the European arena!"

Lu Ningping didn't care about Zhang Yifei and Renault's performance at all. His ability to appear on European tracks is a victory, which is considered a breakthrough for Chinese drivers zero.

This is like the sprinting track where Su Bingtian advanced to the World 100-meter final for the first time. Even if he didn't get any results in the end, he was still a hero, creating the history of the Chinese standing in the World 100-meter finals.

Of course, Zhang Yifei’s current achievements are far from comparable to Su Bingtian, but at least in Lu Ningping’s mind, standing on the European track is a success!

"Haha, I'm not just satisfied with standing on the track, I have to stand on the podium."

Zhang Yifei still made the topic a little easier, but this is also his goal. At least he had to run into the top three of a branch station and stand on the podium.

"Uncle Lu, this time I mainly want to tell you about my plan to go to Europe, because I am not in the name of Toyota drivers, but in the individual drivers, so I can lead my own team."

"I plan to bring everyone from the car repair shop to get a preliminary contact with Formula Racing and the event team atmosphere to prepare for the future."

The event-level maintenance team has always been the team that Zhang Yifei wants to build, and it is also the dream of the old man and Uncle Lu.

If you don’t run formulas or rally, then all this will become very simple. You can form your own event-level maintenance team at any time. As long as you are qualified, manufacturers and sponsors will generally not object.

If you really can't do it, buy a car by yourself. If you participate in it as an individual player, the funds will be only tens of millions. If you can achieve a little score and get sponsorship, you can maintain it.

But F1 is different. It is the most technologically-rich car event on this planet. Building a racing car requires a top R&D team and a wind tunnel laboratory. Even if you buy a frame and an engine, the combination is not an easy task.

Unless Zhang Yifei has the money to form an F1 team, or has a reputation as Schumacher, and the sponsor's father can let him do whatever he wants, it is impossible and unrealistic to build a maintenance team that belongs entirely to him after entering F1.

"Repair Formula Racing? I think it's impossible."
