131 Car King Contest(1/2)
He Bing excitedly explained the scene on the field. What the genius boy said before was more about the scene. After all, Ren Zhiguo's condition has declined sharply and has been surpassed by many newcomers in the past two years.
But Chen Congfu is different. He is still at his peak. He fought with Dong Hebin on the A1 track and has the title of the strongest Formula Chinese driver.
Now, he was defeated by a complete newcomer on the indoor track of the Bird's Nest!
Although the system and nature of the ROC National Cup do not represent the true strength of a driver. For example, the peak kings like Hamilton and Alonso have not achieved any good results in the ROC National Cup and are not very suitable for this type of track.
But it represents the relative strength of a driver. Even Vettel, who crashed into the car, would not be defeated by an opponent who was much weaker than him!
Lin Xiangbei beat Chen Congfu, which cannot be said that he must be stronger than the latter, but it must mean that he will not be much weaker than the other party!
"I lost?"
Looking at Lin Xiangbei, who was the first to cross the finish line, Chen Congfu's mind was blank for a moment.
According to his intuitive estimate, not only did he lose, but he also lost at least 0.5 seconds, which can be said to be a crushing defeat.
It would be fine if Lin Xiangbei had a strong tracking on the field. Some of the inner lanes drifted at large angles and reached the level of first-class professional drivers. Just like Han Han, it can be said that there are no shortcomings.
Is this Chinese new driver who suddenly emerged really a rising star in the car world?
"Damn it, I really won. Is this newcomer named Lin Xiangbei so strong?"
"Even Mr. Chen can't stop him, Han Han probably has no absolute advantage."
"No, if Han Han can't stop it, then he will create a history of newcomers winning the championship."
"History was originally created by people, come on, Lin Yingbei!"
Lin Xiangbei, who was walking off the racing car, heard that there were already audiences in the stands and shouted his name to cheer up.
His originally calm heart was filled with some turmoil.
There is no professional driver who doesn't want to stand in the spotlight of the highest podium and listen to his own cheers.
Maybe I am not standing high enough now, and not many people are paying attention to me, but this is the beginning. One day, I will attract the attention of this world!
The paddock club (paddock club, private room) of the Bird's Nest track, a group of invited corporate leaders and sponsors are sitting inside watching the event.
After all, it is a global automobile event, so most of the invited companies and sponsors are invited, such as Qirui Automobile, Huali Automobile, Huaxia Petroleum, Shell, etc.
Among them, sitting next to Cheng Long is Yin Tong, chairman of Qirui Group in China.
"Brother Cheng Long, this new driver from your Dragon Team is very outstanding and the future is unlimited."
Yin Tong is nearly ten years younger than Cheng Long, so he is more polite in his name.
"Haha, Xiangbei is really talented. When I first saw him racing in Hong Kong Island, I thought he was the driver I wanted."
Cheng Long replied with a smile on his face, he has always been more friendly in human relationships and worldly affairs.
"If our company's racing business department director and with your vision as Brother Cheng Long, Lin Xiangbei may be the driver of our Qirui team now."
After hearing this, Cheng Long's face showed a look of surprise, and he asked back: "Oh, what's the story here?"
"There is a little girl from Donghai Investment Bank who set up a team and wanted to get technical support from the manufacturer. She has found our racing department."
"At that time, the head of the racing business department had no intention of cooperation, so he rejected the little girl, and the driver of their team was Lin Xiangbei."
"There is still this?"
Cheng Long was even more surprised. He didn't know what happened to the convoy behind Lin Xiangbei, nor did he see Feng Bingman.
To be honest, let alone Cheng Long, even Lin Xiangbei himself didn't know that there was such a thing.
He only knew that Feng Bingman was in the East China Sea and wanted to attract sponsorship and technical support, but he did not expect that he had something to do with Qi Rui Auto.
But then again, among the domestic brand rally teams, Qi Rui's A3 team is indeed the strongest at present, and even won the CRC championship title in the domestic group in 2009.
However, the maximum displacement of domestic groups is only 1.6l, which is not in line with the mainstream 2.0l displacement in the international market, so the value content is not too high.
"Well, so I missed this step, and you have recruited the good seedlings."
Cheng Long has been struggling internationally for so many years, and naturally he has heard Yin Tong's attention and attention to Lin Xiangbei.
So he followed the conversation and said, "It seems that Chairman Yin also admires Xiangbei very much. Maybe we have the opportunity to cooperate."
"Brother Cheng Long, can we have some time tomorrow?"
“Extreme honor.”
The biggest bottleneck of private fleets is the lack of technical strength, which Cheng Long is actually very clear about.
The Le Mans team he formed later in life was the oreca 07 provided by French racing company. The engine was GK428 provided by Gibson. The aerodynamic layout design came from Riley, a technical department under Mercedes-Benz Amg.
Without the support of these racing companies, the Dragons would not have won the Le Mans LMP2 championship.
It can be said that with the development of technology, motorsports have been controlled by the initial drivers, and in a sense it has become the control of technology. Any champion team is supported by top technical forces.
Qirui Group may be included in international car companies, and it is just a little brother. If it is placed in a racing modification company, it is even less than a little brother.
But no matter what, it is worse than a private team. Instead of cooperating with foreign racing companies, it is better to consider domestic car companies. If you can achieve results by "lucky" then the improvement of companies and even Chinese cars will be extremely huge!
Why can Japan build so many world-class car companies? It has even become synonymous with reliability, durability and technology in the minds of many people.
The reason was that in the 1970s and 1980s, in the golden age of the Japanese economy, a group of car companies went crazy to participate in various car events, improving their R&D capabilities and global popularity.
Not to mention anything else, Honda, as an engine supplier, won the F1 world championship for six consecutive years, directly pushing it to its peak.
Even though Honda has been defeated for decades since the 1990s, and Alonso even publicly mocked the Honda engine in the voice of the track team for only the GP2 level, it still created many people's impression that the Honda car has a strong engine performance.
The original source of this impression is the results of the F1 event!
There is even a more prominent example in later generations. The Lingke brand can achieve a breakthrough in domestic performance cars. There is even a wave of buying rush in 2003. It is difficult to find a car, and the title of the championship is not unrelated.
This makes many people mention Lingke's performance and champion model, which should be less than a big difference.
This is why car companies spend huge amounts of money and participate in car events that seem to be losing money.
Achievements in the car race can endorse the performance and brand value of the car companies. If a car company designed one day can win the F1 or WRC world championship, then there is no doubt that no one will say that the car's performance is rubbish.
Whoever says trash will show off his performance, so that those who are not trash will outperform on the track first!
Since there is this chance now, Cheng Long will naturally consider cooperating with domestic automakers to reach a win-win relationship.
When Lin Xiangbei returned to the maintenance station, he was already looking at him in the viewing room.
But then again, Lin Xiangbei participated in the ROC National Cup in such a tight time during the preparations for the Asia-Pacific Rally, and actually had the intention to get more attention.
After all, racing is very expensive. Even if you don’t mention technical support, it’s good to get a few sponsors or advertisers. An annual salary of 100,000 US dollars seems to be a lot, but in fact, for racing projects, it’s really not even a drop in the bucket.
Lin Xiangbei still has higher pursuits and dreams for his career path, so the more funds the better.
"Xiang Beijun, congratulations, you have already entered the Chinese national team with your current lap speed."
As a data analyst, Ito Genji has been recording the lap speeds of Lin Xiangbei and other drivers on the field.
Currently, Lin Xiangbei is the fastest lap among all Chinese drivers. The quota for the national team can be determined and participated in the official ROC National Cup event tomorrow.
"Thanks."
Lin Xiangbei nodded, without any obvious expression of excitement and excitement, and still maintained his usual calmness.
"Damn, you kid is really a racing machine without emotions. You don't feel happy even when you enter the national team?"
Li Wenfeng leaned over at this time. When Lin Xiangbei beat Chen Congfu just now, he jumped up excitedly, but the person involved was so calm?
"Of course there is, but that's expected."
Lin Xiangbei replied with a smile, and he was naturally happy that he could become a member of the national team and represent China in the ROC National Cup.
But Lin Xiangbei was not surprised by this result. On the contrary, if he was defeated and did not get in, he might be even more surprised.
"It's too early to say this now. You still have the last opponent, Han Han, who has not defeated it."
"Only if you win him, you are the number one driver of the national team and the Chinese car king."
The old drunkard said, Lin Xiangbei is becoming more and more arrogant now, and it is time to suppress his style.
"Uncle Xu, sooner or later, Han Han can't escape me."
Lin Xiangbei replied confidently, Han Han is very strong, but he is not as fast as himself!
"So confident?"
"Don't forget that Han Han is China's first venue, the double champion of rallying. He also has no shortcomings in this indoor track."
The reason why Lin Xiangbei can kill all sides at present is not unrelated to his "all-round" racing event.
Whether it is the venue or the pull-out method, he adapts to the fastest speed and will not have any shortcomings.
The same is true for Han Han, and he has brought both to the top level. It can be said that short track events were born for such drivers!
"He does have an advantage in running indoor short tracks, but I want to win this game."
Lin Xiangbei looked at the old drunkard and replied with a smile.
There was no such argument that young people were dissatisfied with each other, nor was there any sign of guilt and stubbornness. Lin Xiangbei spoke the most domineering answer in a very peaceful tone.
Listening to Lin Xiangbei's words, the old drunkard did not continue, because his purpose was to want Lin Xiangbei to pay attention to his opponent, but in fact he was no longer needed. Lin Xiangbei even gave Xu Lang a kingly aura that dominates the track.
Xu Lang couldn't explain how this momentum appeared, but this "momentum" had already been achieved, and Han Han might not be able to stop it!
At 8:30 pm, the last game of the Chinese Car King Championship, which is the finals, begins.
To be continued...
