122 Arrival in Yanjing, monthly pass)
The world of the gods...
Lin Xiangbei closed the list of drivers, but the surging inside his heart still felt uncontrollable.
As a driver, he naturally longs to fight against the most powerful opponent in the world. However, when this opportunity is really in front of him, Lin Xiangbei still has the illusion that he is like a dream.
After all, in his previous life, he could only stand by the track and watch F1 champion drivers like Schumacher, Vettel, and Hamilton from afar. As an unknown person in this life, he actually had the opportunity to compete with them on the same stage. It was really fate.
The old drunkard was completely unaware that Lin Xiangbei was thinking about these world's top professional drivers. He was still on the first level, which was how Lin Xiangbei became a member of the national team.
You should know that you can't play by participating. It can be said that almost all the top champion drivers in the country have signed up for the ROC National Cup event, hoping to get this opportunity to "fight" with the gods.
Lin Xiangbei is very strong in the field race and even won the Hong Kong Island Short Track Rally Championship, but he has not experienced the test of large-scale events, or can a CRC championship-level driver achieve a stable win?
The old drunkard was unsure of this answer, and I was afraid he could only know it after running.
On November 1st, the sky in the capital Yanjing was a little gloomy and snowflakes were constantly falling, which made the members of the convoy who had just come from the tropical area of Xishuangbanna feel a little uncomfortable.
Several event support cars parked at the hotel designated by the organizer. Lin Xiangbei and his group got out of the car in a dusty manner. Looking at the snowy world, they curled up and felt a little embarrassed.
"Damn, I didn't feel like I was sitting in the car and turning on the air conditioner. I just followed the ice hole when I got off the car, and the temperature difference was too big!"
Li Wenfeng rubbed his hands and complained, after all, they were experiencing a high temperature and high humidity environment two days ago, but now it is cold and the difference is indeed a bit big.
"With this time I have time to complain about being frozen, why don't you hurry in?"
Lin Xiangbei replied angrily, then took out luggage and other items from the car, and quickly led the convoy members to the hotel lobby. At least, there would be heating as long as you enter the house.
When he pushed open the glass door of the hotel, the temperature inside was as hot as the outside, but when Lin Xiangbei entered, he was stunned in surprise because he saw a group of people standing in the hall.
This group of people are the Chinese champion professional drivers who also participated in the ROC National Cup!
To be honest, even in the previous life, Lin Xiangbei did not have much interaction with domestic professional drivers.
Because just like the young players of the Formula Ye Yifei, Zhou Guanyu and others in their later generations, they all went to the European track for training and competition in their teens and rarely appeared in China.
Unless you really have no money to support yourself in training and go to two domestic venue events to order meals, you basically don’t have much interaction with the domestic professional racing industry.
But not having any intersection does not mean not knowing each other. At least among the group of people in front of me, there are several people who can name Lin Xiangbei.
For example, Liu Caodong, the annual champion of the international group of the 2008 China Rally, and Wei Hongjie, the runner-up.
The annual champion Guo Haisheng, the sub-station champion Wang Rui and Liu Yang.
As well as Chinese drivers Zhou Yong, Lu Ningjun, etc. who competed in the Dakar Rally.
Everyone here is at least a champion level driver in domestic auto racing, and even half of them have won the championship title.
But Lin Xiangbei is most familiar with the other two, Han Han, the only double champion in China, and Chen Congfu, the chief driver of the Chinese team for A1! (homophony)
The former has undoubtedly reached the well-known star level, while the latter can be said to be the strongest Formula driver in China, and has won the annual runner-up in the UK F3.
This is also the highest-level event and the best results of Formulas that Chinese local drivers have participated in abroad!
That's right, the strongest Formula driver in China in this era is just the F3 level, and even gp2 hasn't been in, let alone the Supreme Glory F1.
But this does not mean that Chen Congfu is a weak man. He later joined the Chenglong DC team and became the first Chinese driver to successfully finish the race in Le Mans and successfully hit the podium, achieving a zero breakthrough in China's three major events in Fia.
If Chen Congfu had not switched to the Le Mans endurance race in his previous life, maybe Lin Xiangbei would have the possibility of fighting with him on the track.
At the same time, the group of drivers in the hall also looked at the dusty Lin Xiangbei.
Compared with Lin Xiangbei, he has heard of at least this group of Chinese professional drivers, and even a few of them are relatively familiar with him. This group of people can be said to be completely unfamiliar with Lin Xiangbei.
If it weren't for the conflict between the National Cup and Renault F1 team in winter training, Dong Hebin chose to give up the quota and let Lin Xiangbei have the opportunity to participate in the bench. Perhaps most of the people here have never heard of Lin Xiangbei's name.
Because Lin Xiangbei's rise is too exaggerated, he was just a car washer half a year ago, but now he is involved in the Chinese Car King Competition, which is really incredible.
"Is this the newcomer named Lin Xiangbei?"
"It should be, I look pretty young."
"The rumors have been confirmed. Xu Lang is really the coach of this kid!"
"Didn't you read the news of Hong Kong? There was a scene where Xu Lang appeared on the screen during the short track rally, which could make Xu Lang come back. This newcomer is not simple."
The group of drivers at the scene began to talk, and most of them focused on Xu Lang beside Lin Xiangbei.
After all, compared to the "nameless person" like Lin Xiangbei, Xu Lang is the "speed king" of China's rally racing for several years. If he had not retired unexpectedly, he might have maintained the title of China's strongest rally driver.
But there was only one person's eyes on the two foreign members of the convoy, and he was Chen Congfu!
Among these drivers, Chen Congfu is very similar to Lin Xiangbei. He basically did not run events in China in the early days, but went to the UK to participate in the Renault Formula Elementary. It was not until 2006 that he represented the Chinese national team and participated in the A1 World Cup Formula Championship.
So he is familiar with some foreign racing teams, especially at the Le Mans and F1 levels. When he saw Evans and Ito Genji, the expressions on Chen Congfu's face were full of shock.
He really couldn't imagine how a racing team of a new driver could have such a top-level team member in the world?
It is indeed just like Chen Congfu's surprise, Lin Xiangbei's current racing team, with the help of Cheng Long, has a "super high-end" situation that does not meet the status quo.
"Is this really a newcomer to Le Mans Ferrari's chief technician and Honda F1 data analyst in his racing team?"
Chen Congfu couldn't help but mutter, even though he had been abroad for so many years, he could only get guidance from the top F1 event team in the F1 McLaren Driver Academy, which was incomparable to Lin Xiangbei.
"No surprise, he is a driver of the Dragon Team."
Han Han next to him replied casually. Compared to other people's unfamiliarity with Lin Xiangbei, he, a writer, cross-border professional driver and who is also interested in entering the film and television industry, is much more informative.
The news that Lin Xiangbei joined the Dragon Team has not been officially announced yet, nor has he participated in the official competition and put on the Dragon Team racing suit.
However, if you are interested or well-informed, it is not difficult to know about this kind of thing. For example, Han Han has contacted and contacted many people in the Hong Kong film and television industry, so you can learn about Lin Xiangbei's joining the Dragon Team in advance.
With Cheng Long behind his back, it is not surprising that he can recruit professionals at Le Mans and F1 levels. Many people still regard Lin Xiangbei as a newcomer, but Han Han began to pay attention to Lin Xiangbei early, which may be the keenness of crossover drivers.
"He is actually a member of the Dragon Team. Isn't it said that Chinese driver Cheng Fei is going to join?"
Chen Congfu's face was full of surprise expressions. The rumors about the signing of the Dragon Team driver were always the Chinese American driver Cheng Fei.
"I don't know what happened here, but I can confirm that Lin Xiangbei is indeed an official driver of the Dragon Team."
"When did such a person appear in the domestic car world? Do you know him?"
Chen Congfu asked back, he had been training abroad all year round, and Han Han was obviously not clear about the domestic situation.
"If you don't understand, he seems to have emerged out of thin air."
Han Han shrugged his shoulders. He had been through the field, the double champion of the rally, and even the BMW Formula. He knew that the drivers who were slightly more powerful in China.
Only Lin Xiangbei knew nothing!
Faced with the curiosity and discussion of the drivers in the hall, Lin Xiangbei waved his hand a little embarrassedly, as if he had said hello.
As for the old drunkard seeing some acquaintances, he just nodded. Because most of the drivers here are actually domestic champions in the past two years and are considered junior rookies, he is not very familiar with them.
Walking into the elevator, facing the slowly closed elevator door, the old drunkard spoke, "Do you know the drivers in the hall?"
“Some have heard of it.”
"Only by defeating them, you have the chance to truly step on the Bird's Nest track, otherwise you can only become a bystander off the field."
"Uncle Xu, your requirements are a bit low. Are you just going to defeat them?"
Lin Xiangbei responded with a smile when facing the old drunkard's words.
"Damn, are you still thinking about defeating the fourteen world champions?"
Li Wenfeng heard another meaning in Lin Xiangbei dialect and said something shocked.
He felt that he was already very arrogant, thinking about entering the ROC National Cup with Lin Xiangbei and speeding on the Bird's Nest track.
As for the fourteen foreign world champions, is it something that doubles the ambitions and doesn’t dare to think about, so can you win with the head?
"There is a letter!"
Lin Xiangbei replied firmly because he knew that in the 2009 ROC National Cup, Dong Hebin and Han Han formed a team and fought out of the team of death and came to the semi-finals.
This is simply unimaginable before the game. Most people think that the Chinese team is here to make up for a round of games.
