123 Bird's Nest Raceway

"Can you really believe this?"

Except for Evans and Genji Ito, who could not understand Mandarin, the other members of the team looked at Lin Xiangbei with suspicious eyes.

Could this kid have been training too much recently and began to expand and think that he can really challenge the world champion?

Facing the team's suspicious eyes, Lin Xiangbei suddenly didn't know what to say. Whether he could win was one thing, and whether he wanted to win was another.

It is a matter of strength that cannot win, but you cannot be without a champion!

Maybe this is Lin Xiangbei. His bones are different from the Chinese drivers of this era. He has witnessed the rise of Chinese racing step by step and knows that top foreign drivers are not so invincible!

When he arrived at the driver's room arranged by the event organizing committee, Lin Xiangbei ate something and then took a shower. Just as he was about to lie down and rest for a while, a knock on the door sounded outside the door.

When I opened the door, it was an old drunkard standing at the door.

"The draw ceremony of the Chinese Car King Championship at 4:30 is the lottery ceremony. There will be a test drive tonight, so prepare to set off."

"So fast?"

Lin Xiangbei was a little surprised. He knew that tomorrow night was the official start time. He didn't expect that he would go to draw lots and test drives today. He also thought he could take a rest for a day.

After all, even though Lin Xiangbei finally managed to maintain his crazy training during this period, his body was actually in a relatively tired state. As a result, he didn't even have time to breathe, and he just kept turning around.

"We were a day late, and the other drivers have passed."

Hearing this sentence, Lin Xiangbei suddenly understood why he saw a group of racers in the hotel lobby. It turned out that they were all preparing to go to the bird's nest.

"Okay, then let's go."

Lin Xiangbei did not bother to stop and walked out of the room and followed the old drunkard.

Except for Lin Xiangbei, the old drunkard did not call all the team members, because the racing cars used in the ROC National Cup were all standard racing cars provided by the organizer, so the racing team did not need to participate.

The use of standard racing is also to ensure the fairness of the race. Otherwise, when the rally driver faces the Formula driver's F1 racing in the field, he doesn't have to run at all and can admit defeat directly, and vice versa.

Moreover, during this period of high-intensity training, the team members were actually a little exhausted physically and mentally, so it would be better to give them a day off.

Driven in a convoy to buy Buick GL8, Lin Xiangwang drove north on the streets of Yanjing. His eyes swept across the buildings on both sides of the road from time to time, comparing the pictures about Yanjing in his memory.

"The first time I came to Yanjing?"

The old drunkard sitting in the passenger seat looked at Lin Xiangbei's actions and asked.

"no."

Lin Xiangbei shook his head. He had actually been to Yanjing many times in his previous life, but he had never seen such scenes from ten years ago.

"Then focus on driving. I don't want to lose the lottery ticket because of a traffic accident."

“…”

Lin Xiangbei thought the old drunkard was going to say something, but he didn't expect that this sentence made him a little speechless.

After half an hour's drive, Lin Xiangbei came to the door of the Bird's Nest, which was once the main venue of the 2008 Olympics and even became a landmark building in China.

But I guess many people don’t know that the bird’s nest has also been changed. This may be the only opportunity to witness the bird’s nest track. Even Lin Xiangbei was full of expectations and curiosity.

Walking inside the bird's nest, the originally empty middle track has been changed to a track layout similar to a short track rally.

In addition, the rules of the event are very similar to those of the rally short track. They also take a pair of duels on parallel tracks, and then rotate the inner and outer tracks respectively. The driver with the shortest time wins!

"So this is what the Bird's Nest track looks like."

Looking at the scene in front of him, Lin Xiangbei muttered in his mouth, that in later generations, he had only seen the bird's nest being converted into a track on the Internet pictures, and today he was finally able to witness it.

"Go to draw lots first."

The old drunkard glanced at the time on his watch and it was about to 4:30. According to the rules of the event organizing committee, drivers who did not participate in the lottery ceremony will be deemed to be abstained.

So he was not in the mood to watch what the bird's nest was transformed into, so he took Lin Xiangbei to walk towards the press room, where the driver's duel draw ceremony will be held.

When we arrived at the press conference hall, there were already riders and staff, and there were even many reporters taking photos. Lin Xiangbei and the old drunkard once again attracted the attention of many people. Especially the participants at the scene, some of the people had a look of dissatisfaction on their faces.

It’s okay if this newcomer arrives at the hotel at the latest, but even the lottery ceremony is at the latest. Do you really treat yourself as a big name and have a finale?

However, today's lottery ceremony was held at the lottery ceremony, with the leaders of the China Automobile Federation and Yanjing Sports Bureau present. Even some drivers were dissatisfied, they could only be harmonious on the surface.

As the staff arrived, according to the practice of Chinese events, the first thing was to say was to lead the words. Then the sixteen drivers then drew their own numbers from the boxes on the release stage in turn.

Drivers from No. 1 to 8 will become Group A, drivers from No. 9 to 16 will become Group B, and they will face off in pairs according to the number of consecutive numbers. The winner will eventually win the title of Chinese car king.

At the same time, the fastest lap champion and runner-up on the track will form the Chinese national team and compete with the other seven participating national teams to compete for the ROC National Cup championship and the title of "the fastest country in the world" that year.

After the lottery ceremony, the contestant number and matching opponent appeared on the big screen in the press conference hall.

Lin Xiangbei drew No. 5, and the No. 6 driver he matched was Ren Zhiguo, who won the national championship of the 2007 China Stadium Championships.

It can be said that Lin Xiangbei's luck is really not very good. He encountered one of the strongest field racers in the country in the first round, and maybe a one-round tour situation will occur.

"I want to see how Lin Xiangbei, a newcomer, runs with the national venue champion."

At this time, a participating driver showed a look of watching the show on his face. The rally driver was at a disadvantage in running the field, and he even won the national field championship. That was really God was destined to say goodbye (say goodbye).

"It's not that simple. I've heard that this kid had surpassed the Volkswagen Rookie Cup championship on the Donghai International Track for more than 4 seconds before he was a pro. Do you think his field strength would be poor?"

The driver next to him replied, "He is from the Donghai FCA team, so he naturally knows the scene that happened on the Donghai International Raceway."

Compared with other people's perception of Lin Xiangbei, he is the champion of the Hong Kong Island Short Track Rally. He knows very well how He Lei was crushed and defeated.

Is there a big gap between level drivers who can do this and national field championships?

"Really, he's still running to the venue?"

"This is the scary thing. This kid has never been to a professional arena. He was the Rookie Cup champion as an amateur driver at the time!"

When he heard this, the driver who had a good attitude before, subconsciously took a breath. He really didn't expect that Lin Xiangbei still had such a history!

Compared to others who are paying attention to him, Lin Xiangbei did not care about who his opponent was at all. Instead, he was more concerned about what group Han Han and Chen Congfu were in and who his opponent was.

Because among these Chinese champion drivers, Lin Xiangbei believes that the only opponent is these two. The peak Han Han has the strongest strength of the current era, the Chinese field racing and rally drivers.

And Chen Congfu represents the ceiling of the current Formula Chinese drivers.

Han Han was divided into Group B, and there was no possibility of fighting with him before the final. Chen Congfu was in the same group as him, but if he was in the second half, if he went well, he had to wait until the semi-finals before he had the possibility of a duel.

Faced with this grouping, Lin Xiangbei nodded with satisfaction because he and they were not only opponents, but also had the possibility of teammates.

If they are eliminated too early and their lap speed is not the fastest, then they will have to team up with other drivers.

Although it may not be certain, the other drivers are weak, at least now it can be directly confirmed that Han Han and Chen Congfu are not weak. Lin Xiangbei does not want to use the only ROC national racing opportunity to bet on luck, even if he is a gambler.

Perhaps Lin Xiangbei nodded slightly, but was discovered by a reporter at the scene. A microphone suddenly appeared in front of Lin Xiangbei, and the reporter began to ask questions.

"Hello, Lin Xiangbei, I am a reporter from Yanjing Sports TV Tower. I just noticed that after the lottery results came out, you nodded slightly. Are you very satisfied with the opponent you drew?"

It is impossible for anyone else to know about Lin Xiangbei's attention to Han Han and Chen Congfu, so the reporter can only judge based on common sense. Lin Xiangbei nodded because of his matched opponent.

As soon as this question came out, the live cameras were all aimed at Lin Xiangbei, because those who attended today were basically sports media, and they were relatively familiar with racing.

A new driver like Lin Xiangbei, who is also a rally racer, met the national field champion in the first round of draws. In theory, he suffered a great loss. As a result, he could nod in satisfaction?

Is this not taking Ren Zhiguo seriously, or is this young driver a little unaware of the situation?

Faced with this sudden question, Lin Xiangbei was stunned. According to the process of the event, shouldn’t it be time to go to the track to test the driving after the lottery ceremony?

When is there another reporter's questioning session?

However, since someone asked this, Lin Xiangbei replied indifferently: "There is no such thing as being satisfied or not, you can draw any opponent."

"Do you think you have the possibility of winning against the national court champion?"

“Of course there is.”

Lin Xiangbei smiled. As a driver these days, is there anyone who thinks he is not likely to win before he runs?

Not to mention the national venue champion, even if you want to compete with Schumacher, Vettel and Hamilton today, Zhang Yifei will also give such an answer.
