Formula racing, the term seems simple, but most ordinary people actually don’t know what this “formula” means.

The literal meaning of Formula racing can actually be simply understood as "spec" or "scheme", that is, racing cars made in accordance with vehicle technical rules and regulations formulated by the FIA.

Just like the equations in mathematics, Formula racing is also stipulated, including the body structure, length and width, minimum weight, engine and other almost all equipment on the car.

The strict restrictions of the rules mean that it is very difficult for auto manufacturers to expand the performance gap between racing cars and other manufacturers within a limited range. Therefore, they must use their latest and most powerful technology to make Formula racing more powerful and faster. This is why f1 is called the most technological event in the automotive industry.

In addition to the high requirements of the racing itself, F1 also has extremely strict requirements for drivers. If you want to become an ordinary driver, as long as you take a racing license and don’t run rally, you can spend a hundred thousand to buy a racing car and you can be called a driver.

But for F1 drivers, let alone the entry qualifications, they may not even be able to reach the steps below the door. To become an F1 driver, in addition to his extraordinary racing talent, he also needs a very rich dad who can make you feel rich in the environment with a strong racing atmosphere. In a few years, you will start to get involved in kart training.

Next is to gallop on the track day after day to cultivate your "car sense" about racing. Basically, from this time, the annual cost will be calculated in one million. And because you don't have any popularity, don't think too much about sponsoring these things.

With this foundation, you can basically reach the level. Next is formal basic formula training, participating in various formula training camps and competitions, and before the age of 16, you must become one of the best drivers of your peers. Otherwise, you will give up early, because the F1 team will only have the strongest one.

At this point, it can only be considered as coming to the threshold. Next is to enter the advanced Formula Racing stage before the age of 22. The most representative event of the advanced Formula is called f3. If you can stand out in f3 and win a few world championships, at least if you are the one who is a sub-stop race champion, you may enter the sight of the F1 team.

If you think that this is an entry-level, it is still too naive. Even if you are lucky enough to be attracted by the F1 team and join, you can only become a test runner, commonly known as a substitute. To use the jokes in basketball, it is also the water dispenser guardian.

Because there are only dozens of formally signed drivers in the F1 team, and there are still many water dispenser guardians, and they are lucky or show their strength. After a few years, the water dispenser may become a formal F1 driver. If you are not lucky or have insufficient level, your entire racing career may stop here. Therefore, it is too difficult to become an F1 driver, even if there is no official F1 driver in China in the future.

Zhang Yifei did not have this opportunity in his later generations, or he had lost to those foreign drivers since the starting stage, but he really wanted to experience what it was like at the peak of racing, so when he heard Lu Ningping preaching karting, he saw the opportunity to get started.

Faced with Zhang Yifei's question, Lu Ningping replied with a little amused and laughed: "Of course it's the kind of formula. Even if I don't become a professional driver, I'm not as good as driving a toy car."

After retiring from a professional team, Lu Ningping chose to go to Hong Kong and no longer engage in rally jobs, nor did he want to join a professional team again. However, Lu Ningping had been dealing with racing for half her life. It can be said that he could no longer leave the car. He was eventually hired by a club in Hong Kong and transformed into a personal coach of karting.

As soon as he heard that Lu Ningping was sure it was a primary formula, Zhang Yifei was even more excited and instantly changed his mind. In terms of rally racing skills, coaching is actually optional for Zhang Yifei. He wanted to become Lu Ningping's apprentice, more for the flag of Chinese racing and the desire to revive Uncle Lu's personal feelings.

However, in terms of Formula racing, Zhang Yifei lacks a leader because it really requires foundation and capital. Most people can't afford to even play the most basic kart. In this era, there are only Yanjing, a few places in the East China Sea and Hong Kong and Macao. These places will definitely not accept Zhang Yifei now, and he has no money to go in and play.

It just so happened that Lu Ningping was in the kart club, which was the best opportunity for Zhang Yifei to get started, so he didn't want to miss it.

"Uncle Lu, I don't recommend that you return to the mainland because of me. If possible, I would rather go to Hong Kong Island and enter the kart club training you are in. I want to lay the foundation for participating in Formula Racing in the future."

"What?"

Several other people in the warehouse exclaimed. Today was originally discussing how Zhang Yifei became a future pulling force or field racer, but he actually wanted to enter Formula Racing. Does this kid really have no idea how difficult the Formula Racing is, or is he whimsical?

"Yifei, stop making trouble!"

Zhang Zhiguo scolded him at this time. He had been in the professional circle at least and knew some of the requirements of F1. Not to mention other objective conditions, the subjective conditions Zhang Yifei did not meet the requirements first. Without any karting experience, it was impossible to fight against those Formula drivers.

After all, Formula has developed to a highly professional stage, which is completely different from street racing. If the difference between ordinary people's driving skills and professional drivers is a natural barrier, then it is separated from F1 drivers from them, so that ordinary people can't even start a car if they get on.

"I'm not making a fuss. The equation is a little older, but it's not without chance. And the reorganization of the team is as Uncle Lu said, very unrealistic, but if I can first enter the professional team and gain a foothold, form my own logistics team, and recruit Uncle Lu in, it will be much easier."

It is unrealistic to reorganize the fleet with Zhang Yifei as the core, because manufacturers and sponsors will never be able to pay huge sums of money for a newcomer. Unless Lu Ningping returns to the world and uses his Chinese car king's appeal to do this.

But it is almost impossible for Uncle Lu to make a comeback now. First, it is age problem. Over 40 years old is considered a downward trend. Second, it is mentality problem. He does not have the ambition to compete in the field, nor does he have a navigator who cooperates with him. Therefore, his identity is the most suitable coach or data analyst.

Therefore, Zhang Yifei adopted the "curve-curve national saving" strategy and relied on his own strength to gain the position of No. 1 driver in the professional team, so that he could form his own logistics team. At that time, let alone Lu Ningping, even the old man and Lin Mu could join his team.

After Zhang Yifei said this, the others instantly understood what he was thinking. Feng Linmu hesitated and said, "Yifei, if you rely on yourself to enter the professional team, it will be difficult for us to provide help in the early stage. This is a difficult road, you must consider it clearly."

If Zhang Yifei enters the professional team, then he has to start from the bottom step by step. Not to mention building his own logistics team, he is not sure whether he can play. This is all internal matters of the professional team. It is difficult for Lu Ningping and others to provide substantial help. It can be said that everything depends on Zhang Yifei himself.

"There is no smooth road in this world, and I believe in my strength very much. Uncle Lu, the domestic professional racing environment is still relatively backward. Even if you don't talk about Formula Racing, I need the springboard of Hong Kong Island, so please."
