Looking at the surprised expression on Zhang Yifei's face, it was Junko Takeda's turn to be surprised this time. She just introduced the top seed player. Is it necessary to be so surprised?

"Yifeijun, have you heard of Masa?"

"ah?"

Zhang Yifei recovered from his senses. It seemed that he was too surprised and a little illogical.

So he quickly explained: "I heard that he won the Italian Renault championship, but he is the most famous driver of this class."

In fact, Zhang Yifei had not known what contestants were in this class before. After all, the Internet is not developed these days, so you must contact the Renault event organizing committee to get the driver list.

When Junko Takeda got the list of contestants, Zhang Yifei didn't read it at all because he didn't know him after reading it and was too lazy to waste time.

Unexpectedly, Renault 2000 European Cup was held earlier than history, and Masa still appeared here. It was a fate.

"By the way, are there any other drivers worth noting besides Masa?"

The appearance of Masa reminded Zhang Yifei that he had met a first-class F1 driver in the future. Who knows if there is a second Masa in this competition? It seems that he was too careless before. Even if he doesn't know him, he should pay more attention to his opponent.

"In addition to Masa, there are Suarez of the Prema team, Kubica of Kram Athletics, and Makina of Mano team."

"They all won the championship titles in karting events, especially the Mano Racing team, which gave birth to last year's British Formula Renault champion Kimi, who completed the miracle of jumping directly from Formula Elementary to F1."

The Mano Racing team does not need to remind Junko Takeda that Zhang Yifei has heard of it because it not only gave birth to F1 driver Kimi, but also another world's top F1 driver, who also participated in Formula Renault under it. He is Lewis Hamilton, the strongest F1 driver in twenty years.

But Zhang Yifei always feels that there is another name that sounds familiar, and this name is Kubica, but Zhang Yifei can't remember who it is, but he just sounds familiar.

"What is the full name of Kram Athletics Kubica?"

"Robert Joseph Kubica, a Polish driver, is also the official test driver of Renault 2000 racing."

When he heard this, Zhang Yifei finally remembered who Kubica was. During his professional racing training in later generations, he read a case of a track accident. The protagonist of the accident was Kubica.

He had a serious accident during a hairpin bend at Formula 1 season in Canada at the 2007 season and hit the Toyota team's car, broke out of the track and lost control, and eventually hit the guardrail violently.

At that time, it was measured that his accurate speed was 300.13km/h, and the data of the car-mounted black box showed that the instantaneous peak g force that Kubica had withstand was 75g.

Logically speaking, this person should be in a state of disgrace. At that time, the report believed that he was at least seriously injured. As a result, this guy had only a slight concussion and ankle sprain. He was discharged from the hospital the next day, just like a person who was fine.

If he died, Zhang Yifei probably wouldn't remember this person. It was precisely because of this guy's luck that the accident could be the same as nothing happened at this speed, which made Zhang Yifei remember this name.

If Zhang Yifei remembers correctly, Kubica seems to have won the fourth place in Renault's 2000 European Cup overall score, which is also a strong opponent.

It seems that just as Junko Takeda said, because of Kimi's success, Renault became a hot bun in the 2000 European Cup. Strong drivers from all sides are planning to copy the miracle. In fact, two future official F1 drivers appeared in this session, and there may not be no other ones.

You should know that there are only a few dozen F1 drivers in the world, and various Formula Competitions are emerging one after another. Generally, in the basic Formula Events, meeting a future F1 driver is considered as a missed streak, but I actually met two. I really don’t know if it’s fate or bad luck.

But since you have already met, Zhang Yifei is not afraid. If you want to stand on the championship podium and become the strongest driver, you will naturally have to defeat all your opponents.

If you are afraid, it means losing! Not to mention meeting Masa and Kubica today, even if you compete with Senna, Schumacher and Hamilton today, Zhang Yifei also has the courage to fight. When you meet on a narrow road, the brave will win. This is the spirit of a professional driver who should have the sword.

The day before the game passed quickly, and July 15th was the time for the Renault 2000 European Cup to officially start.

The first stop of Monza Track is two days, namely Saturday's qualifying knockout round and weekend's points competition.

On Saturday afternoon, Zhang Yifei and his party came to Monza again. Compared with the previous two times, this time it became more familiar.

This familiarity is not just because I came a few times, but Zhang Yifei had thoroughly grasped the track data counted by Yamamoto Ukyo yesterday, and had a clear understanding of every corner and brake point of the Monza Track.

After all, the Monza Track is a high-speed track, and there are only seven big turns in the whole process. Compared with the low-speed track with more than ten or twenty turns, the memory difficulty is slightly lower. He believes that his fastest speed this time will exceed the previous test run.

When we arrived at the P room, today, not only Zhang Yifei and the others, but also several staff members wearing Toyota uniforms were already waiting for Zhang Yifei and his group at the repair station.

They are employees of the European Toyota Racing Organization and will provide technical support to Zhang Yifei throughout the race day.

You should know that there are many unexpected events in Formula racing, including driver operation errors, racing failures, track accidents, etc.

If these accidents occur, a very professional team will be needed to solve the problem. With Toyota's technical support, Zhang Yifei will completely solve his worries.

After saying hello to each other, Zhang Yifei went to the event command center and selected his own temporary racing number.

The number Zhang Yifei chose was 13, and the reason was very simple. There was no one to choose this number, because in European and American culture, 13 is similar to the 4 in China, and they are all unlucky numbers. However, Zhang Yifei is not a European and American person, so he doesn't care about these.

After selecting the number, Zhang Yifei changed his racing suit and followed the Toyota team to conduct the final inspection of the racing.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, an order came from the event command center, and all drivers drove the car to the maintenance lane and drove to the departure area.

In the qualifying race of Formula racing, there is no requirement for the order of the vehicle, because this will not affect the order of the main race. Therefore, whoever drives to the maintenance lane first will be in the front, which is similar to the ordinary queuing method.

When Zhang Yifei drove the car out of the P room, more than a dozen racing cars had been parked in the maintenance passage, and he was ready to wait for the command from the event center to go to the starting area of ​​the track.

Looking at the neatly arranged more than a dozen racing cars in front, the roar of the engine was resounding, and the "fully armed" drivers were preparing to go to the track. This scene made Zhang Yifei feel a sense of passion in his heart.

This is the real professional arena, surrounded by the strongest group of Formula Elementary Drivers in the world, and even digital future F1 drivers.
