209 Suit Thug
"Zhang Yifei, why don't you drive slowly."
Listening to He Ziling's voice coming from the side, Zhang Yifei turned his head and looked at it, and found that her face was a little pale. It was obvious that this speed was as if it were a disastrous as the car was in a frightening situation for her.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Yifei let go of the accelerator and reduced the speed to a normal speed of 120km/h.
Although the engine noise of the 4,000-rpm is still very noisy, at least it does not have the whistling sound of the train before, which makes people feel much more at ease.
"Sorry, I'm used to driving fast."
Zhang Yifei replied a little apologetically, starting with the Ford Mustang to the Mitsubishi Evo, he drove Xie Tiancheng's Nissan 300zx in the middle, basically all of them were performance cars.
Later, he even came to the track and drove a Renault car, which was like a speed of about 200km/h, which was accustomed to him.
Fiat Pal is the second ordinary civilian car he has driven in addition to Jetta King. Compared with Jetta King's 101p horsepower, this broken car is only 90p horsepower. It's really hard to move just by hearing the roar!
"It doesn't matter."
He Ziling replied softly, and after the speed dropped, the previous panic disappeared, and she felt much better.
"But when you go to the New North Speedway, do you have to run with this car? Will it be a little slower?"
Zhang Yifei shook his head and said, "This broken car is Senna. Schumacher drives it. I guess he can't even afford the exhaust gas at the New North Track."
"There are special racing car rentals for the New North Raceway, and there are many regular manufacturer test cars. It is very easy to get a performance car there."
"That's good."
"Why, are you worried that I will lose?"
"Who is worried about you losing? It's just that my brother said that the New North Speedway is one of the most dangerous tracks in the world. This car doesn't feel safe."
"Oh, then you're just worried about my safety."
"you……"
He Ziling wanted to deny it, but in the end she didn't say it. She just glared at Zhang Yifei. Why didn't she find that he was so slick before?
However, Zhang Yifei said that there is a car rental in New North, which made He Ziling feel relieved, because when He Lang was studying at the Citroen Club in the UK, he once told He Ziling the story of the New North Raceway.
This track is the dream holy place in the hearts of many drivers and is also the most dangerous place. Although deaths have rarely occurred in formal competitions, there are still many test drivers and racing enthusiasts who have accidents in New Taipei every year.
The North New Zealand has not released specific numbers, but according to local police records, about 3 to 12 people lose their lives here every year, which is a very exaggerated number. Therefore, the North New Zealand Speedway also received the nickname "Green Hell".
After about two hours of driving, Zhang Yifei finally drove the 90-horsepower Fiat Pal and "slowly" to the entrance of the New North Raceway. The gate had nurburgring English letters.
Because the New North Speedway is just the North Ring of the Nürburgring Circuit to be precise, it is often referred to as the New North Speedway.
The Nurburgring track also has a 5.148-kilometer South Ring, which is a track specially used to host the F1 Grand Prix. It is held every two years and happens to be alternating with the Hoganheim Track.
In fact, in the 1970s, the Nurburgring Raceway was not divided into two parts. The entire track was held as a whole for the F1 Grand Prix, with a total length of an astonishing 20.83 kilometers.
It is precisely because the track is too long and most of it is in hilly mountain roads, not only can the audience not see the racing situation, but even the TV broadcast at that time was very difficult.
Later in 1976, a serious racing accident occurred. Fia suddenly discovered that even the most basic accident rescue could not be arrived in time, so the Nurburgring track was divided into two parts.
The South Ring continues to be the track of the F1 Grand Prix, while the North Ring has become the world's most well-known racing holy land.
Zhou Yunhui had been waiting for Zhang Yifei at the door of Nurburgring. When he saw Zhang Yifei coming, he handed him a magnetic card and said, "This magnetic card is used to pay for tickets and track usage fees, you can take it first."
"Um."
Zhang Yifei took the magnetic card and took a look. It looked like a toll-collecting pass like a highway.
“How is the charge for the New North Raceway now?”
"One lap is $25. If you buy more than 25 laps at a time, you will have a discounted price of $20."
"Damn, this is a black store!"
Zhang Yifei was really shocked by the price of New Taipei City. You should know that the top experts drive supercars and lap times are within 8 minutes.
For ordinary drivers or racing enthusiasts, it will be 10 minutes in one lap, which means that the price of an hour is 150 US dollars. The exchange rate of this era is converted into RMB, which is more than 1,200 yuan.
You should know that in 1999, many people's monthly salary was not 1,000 yuan, but they could only stay for an hour on the New North Speedway, and this did not include the price of renting a car.
Looking at Zhang Yifei's surprised reaction, Zhou Yunhui also replied with a wry smile: "There is no way, this thing is just like hype. As the reputation of the New York track increases, the price is becoming more and more exaggerated, almost far exceeding the average price of other tracks."
"I will pay you back after the run."
If it costs about a hundred yuan, Zhang Yifei would be too lazy to be pretentious, but a thousand yuan is not a small amount.
If he remembered correctly, Zhou Yunhui chose to take the initiative to be a gun and gamble a car because of his mother's surgery fee. Now he has just come to Europe to be a test driver, so he will definitely not be very generous and he will not be able to take advantage of such a small advantage.
"I invited you here, how could I let you pay for it?"
"If you don't invite me, I will actually find an opportunity to visit New North Speedway, so don't be pretentious."
After saying that, Zhang Yifei asked again: "Where is renting a car in New Taipei? I don't have a driver's license now."
When it comes to driving license issues, Zhang Yifei has a headache. He really won the championship on the track, but driving a car is considered illegal. Renting a car is also a problem now, which is really a big deal.
This reminded him of Kimi who went from the primary equation to F1. After entering F1, the guy realized that he did not have a super driver's license, which was a precedent for F1 drivers to not have a super driver's license.
Later, after communication from Sauber, the Fia Alliance specially approved a super driver's license to send him, otherwise the F1 driver would be in a dilemma that the F1 driver would not be able to drive.
"There is the entrance there. There are many car rental points in the track. What kind of car do you want to drive then, I'll help you rent it."
"If you don't want to drive a rental car, I can also borrow an Opel Ape from the fleet."
"I'll see what cars are there first."
Zhang Yifei did not agree directly, but planned to see what classic car models can be rented in this era.
In fact, if you want a fair showdown, opening Opel Ape is the best choice.
This is not just a model like Zhou Yunhui, but as a racing car for DTM Opel Team, it is far more than the rental cars in terms of performance and maintenance.
After all, no matter how strong a car rental company is, it is impossible to provide the best racing-level cars to ordinary enthusiasts. Generally speaking, those who can rent are mid- and low-end modified performance cars. Unless they are particularly lucky or have deep relationships, they can rent supercars or racing-level cars.
Zhang Yifei took this magnetic card and drove towards the entrance in the Fiat Pal. There were already cars waiting to line up. As Zhou Yunhui said, as the fame of the New North Raceway increased, racing enthusiasts from all over the world were like challenging the lap record of the New North Raceway, which led to "inflation" even the tickets.
Without exception, the top performance cars are lined up here, among which Zhang Yifei also saw several supercars, such as Porsche 911gj220, Ferrari F50, etc.
The medium-grade ones are luxury brands such as Mercedes-Benz Amg and BMW M series. The cheapest ones are some American brand performance cars, such as the Ford Mustang, Dodge Viper that Zhang Yifei drove before.
Unlike Asian and Japanese brands, the current Japanese performance cars in Europe can only be considered a younger brother compared to these top supercar brands.
In addition to GTR and PRA, other Japanese sports cars and evo, the current younger brothers, have no arrangements on the New North Raceway.
Zhang Yifei's "small broken car" entered the ranks of the team, which naturally attracted the attention of many people. Nowadays, there are still people who drive a 90-horsepower small broken car to North New Zealand?
At the same time, some people began to look carefully to see if Zhang Yifei's car had been changed violently and wanted to use his mediocre appearance to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger. After looking around, there was no trace of violent change. It seemed that Erlenzi came to the New North Speedway to "buy vegetables".
Zhang Yifei was very calm about these strange gazes. Only those who have no strength these days will have weak self-esteem and cannot stand the ridicule of others.
It’s a pity that Zhang Yifei is not a weak person. He just gave him a high-performance car. Everyone who is queuing here, Zhang Yifei dared not say that he would kill 100% in seconds, and 99% without any problem!
If you have confidence, naturally there is nothing to be inferior to yourself.
Parking the car in the parking lot of the track, Zhou Yunhui took Zhang Yifei to the largest car rental company on the track, and it was also the partner of Opel Team at the New North Speedway.
Compared with other tracks, because of the test drives of many enthusiasts and manufacturers, the scale and types of car rental companies here are magnificent.
The car rental company has various models of modified cars, ranging from entry-level swifts to polos, and from super sports cars, which can be said to be everything.
However, Zhang Yifei focused his eyes on a "business car", which was different from a coupe and a supercar full of sporty and fierce appearance. The car in front of him was a standard four-door and five-seater, and the relatively long body could not see any sporty atmosphere.
The Mercedes-Benz logo on the front of the car, plus the S-Class identity, is simply a standard boss who uses a car in the morning. It is completely unsuitable for appearing on the track, and it is more suitable for appearing in the commercial BD area.
However, when the eyes came to the rear of the car, the three letters amg at the back gave it another meaning, which means it came from the Mercedes-Benz high-performance modification department.
