Lin Xiangbei never thought that one day he would compete with Han Han as a teammate on the track.

Since you have become a "teammate", you naturally have to advance and retreat together. This is the most basic principle of a team event.

"I have a feeling that Chinese racing is about to usher in a new era."

A sports media reporter suddenly felt extremely emotional when he looked at the spirit of Lin Xiangbei and Han Han on the rostrum.

It has been 24 years since 1985 to the present, but generations of professional drivers have not shown the vitality of these two people today.

There is never even a domestic media person who can imagine that one day when Chinese drivers stand on the same level as the world's top champions, they can listen and laugh, and they are not at all inferior in their momentum.

I don’t know whether this change started with the author Han Han entering the racing circle or Lin Xiangbei, a newcomer who came out of nowhere.

In short, in the two of them, they saw a completely different future.

"Maybe this is the younger wave."

Another reporter nodded. Indeed, Lin Xiangbei and Han Han gave people a completely different feeling.

The future is an era for young people like them!

"Haha, is arrogance the symbol of the younger generation? If you want to create an era, you must at least show the corresponding strength."

"If they fail to win a game tonight and the group is eliminated, what qualifications do they have to say they are better than the national football team?"

Most of the scenes are sports media, but this does not mean that they are racing media. On the contrary, in Chinese football, there are far more full-time reporters in basketball than in racing.

This sports reporter who refuted was from the football newspaper.

Although he does not deny that the Chinese national football team has been on a downward trend in recent years since reaching the peak of the World Cup in 2002, at least in the 2002 World Cup group stage, the Chinese national football team actually played well. These two young drivers are not qualified to say that they are better than Chinese football!

Regarding the football reporter's words, other sports media people at the scene did not argue or refute, even the racing reporter was a sprinter.

Because this is similar to the endless dispute between basketball and football, no one can argue about right or wrong, or there is no right or wrong in this kind of thing at all.

In competitive sports, results determine everything, and the answer will be known soon.

After the lottery ceremony, the drivers' entry ceremony was the drivers' entry ceremony. However, this time, the Chinese drivers just walked out of the contestant's passage and showed their faces in the center of the venue.

Today, every national team driver will drive a convertible with the national flag in it, circle the bird's nest directly, and accept the cheers of the audience.

This move is very similar to the float parade before the F1 main race, but it is more grand and spectacular. Because the agglomeration effect brought by the indoor gymnasium is far superior to the outdoor track, which can be felt from the opening ceremony of the 2008 Olympic Games.

The German team formed by Schumacher and Vettel were the first to drive on the Bird's Nest track because they were the defending champions of the last time, and the status and glory of the car god are here, and Schumacher's first appearance is undisputed.

"Oh my God, I saw Schumacher, the God of Cars!"

"Come on Shumi, Ferrari Red forever!"

"The strongest driver Schumacher, you are the God of Racing!"

All kinds of cheers and screams were heard. At this moment, the Bird's Nest track was like Schumacher's home court, with tens of thousands of spectators screaming and shouting for him.

This kind of scene is actually not surprising. When the first F1 China Grand Prix was held in 2004, the scenes appeared similar to those now. At least 70 to 80% of the audience came for Schumacher.

It can even be said that for Chinese audiences, the genius driver has one stone in total, Schumacher has the only one dou, and the rest of the others have two dou.

If you want to say something more, it is that in most Chinese people's consciousness, except Senna and Schumacher, everyone else is not familiar with racing.

This is the same as asking a passerby on the street who knows who is the boxer he knows.

Don't ask, it's Tyson!

"Schumacher's face is still enough."

Lin Xiangbei stood in the backstage, watching Schumacher sitting in the back seat of the convertible, waving the German flag. The scene that was highly anticipated was false to say that he was not envious in his heart.

"After all, it's the god of car."

Han Han is similar to Lin Xiangbei, with a light shining in his eyes. Maybe this is the ultimate dream in the hearts of all drivers.

"Are you supposed to say something pretentiously at this time that you can replace it?"

Regarding Lin Xiangbei's unrealistic joke, Han Han replied helplessly: "You can't replace it. Schumacher's seven-crown champion is unprecedented, and there is a high probability that there will be no one behind him."

"Dreams still have to be there, maybe they will come true one day?"

Lin Xiangbei also smiled. Han Han might not know that with such seemingly impossible records, the driver named Hamilton in the waiting area was only one step away from surpassing in the future.

There is nothing that is absolutely impossible in the car world, it just depends on whether the times can create this hero.

Behind Schumacher, drivers from other national teams also circled around the field one after another, and also received applause and cheers.

Looking at this scene, Lin Xiangbei couldn't help but think of the scene where he ran on a foreign track in his previous life. At that time, a Chinese driver appeared, which can basically be described as "cold scene". Not to mention screaming, there was no polite applause.

In comparison, at least domestic car fans and audiences have a lot of quality that is far worse than foreign countries!

At the end of the entrance ceremony, the host driver was the finale. Lin Xiangbei and Han Han were sitting in the back seat of the convertible and holding a national flag in his hand.

The ROC National Cup may be the only one in a car event that can be surrounded by national flags.

After all, compared to the Olympics, it is a pure commercial event that pursues higher, faster and stronger sports.

To put it bluntly, drivers can do their best to dream and honor, but car racing is about making money!

Therefore, the characteristics of the country are not important in commercial events. In many cases, the only belt that demonstrates nationality is even the only belt that shows its nationality. Many teams use sponsor logos or blank spaces instead, just because they don’t want to limit themselves.

Because it has too strong national attributes, some commercial sponsorships and advertising endorsements are not easy to accept. After all, there are too many countries with historical grievances these days.

When Lin Xiangbei and Han Han appeared on the track, a spotlight hit them directly, and there were cheers and applause like thunder.

No matter how young these two Chinese drivers are in front of these world champions, they are at least from China and are drivers of their own country!

"Lin Xiangbei, Han Han, show the strength of our Chinese drivers!"

"Win one game, just win one game!"

"Chinese racing will not always be weak, nor will you always be weak!"

"Come on Chinese drivers, come on Chinese racing!"

Most of the audiences who are willing to spend a high price to buy ROC National Cup tickets have some understanding of racing.

They know very well how weak Chinese racing is. On the ROC National Cup track, it can be described as worthless.

But Chinese car fans choose to hope!

I don’t ask them to accomplish any miracle, as long as they can win one game!

This seemingly humble wish has appeared in Chinese football countless times, and it really feels like a pair of brothers in distress.

Listening to various vague cheering voices in his ears, Lin Xiangbei's emotions were very complicated. At this moment, Han Han next to him finally spoke.

"Lin Xiangbei, I want to win this time."

When he heard this, Lin Xiangbei looked at the other person in surprise, and saw a smile on the corner of Han Han's mouth and continued, "I heard the last sentence in the lounge. In fact, you don't care on the surface."

"Yes, because I don't want to let them down."

Accompanied by this sentence, Lin Xiangbei looked at the Bird's Nest Stadium, and the 80,000 spectators who arrived tonight.

They must know the gap between Chinese drivers and the world's car world, but they are still looking forward to a miracle, so they cannot disappoint these car fans!

The entrance ceremony ended, and the opening match was made by the Chinese team vs. the German team. It can be said that this is the most anticipated event for the audience in this ROC National Cup, and the organizer directly put him at the opening.

The competition vehicle randomly selected Volkswagen Shangku. In fact, seriously, this model is even worse for Lin Xiangbei and Han Han's situation.

Because Schumacher and Vettel are both Formula drivers, what is the difference between running RVs with them in the field race and seeking death? Lin Xiangbei and Han Han's luckiest random vehicle should be the non-mainstream off-road racing car RX150. After all, both of them are field and rallier dual-train drivers.

However, from the lottery ceremony, we can see that today's luck is really a bit confusing, so it is not surprising that Lin Xiangbei is already a little numb in his mentality.

"I'll play Schumacher later, you go against Vettel."

The ROC National Cup system adopts a three-game two-lap system. If the draw is one-to-one, the winner of the first two games will be held to the final battle.

Han Han's idea was Tian Ji's horse racing strategy, to challenge Schumacher, who had no chance of winning, and let Lin Xiangbei run with Vettel.

In a sense, the seven-time champion Schumacher is invincible, and Vettel is more likely to form a breakthrough. If Lin Xiangbei can win, then he will carry the victory, and maybe there will be a situation of a sudden turnaround.

However, when Lin Xiangbei heard Han Han's strategy, a wry smile appeared on his face, because he had long guessed that Han Han would do this, after all, this was the only possibility of victory in theory.

But the question is, is Vettel really a breakthrough for a newcomer?

Starting next year, Red Bull Racing's Vettel will become the absolute ruler of F1 in the next four years.

Even Schumacher, who has made a comeback, has to avoid his edge and is unable to defeat this rising new generation of kings.

Everyone thought Vettel was the younger brother of the German team. Only Lin Xiangbei knew that this guy was the hidden boss!

If you can beat Schumacher now, you may not be able to beat Vettel now!

What was even more depressed was that Lin Xiangbei could not speak out yet, so he could only grit his teeth and nodded.

Originally, Lin Xiangbei thought that if he could return to the F1 track one day, it would be the time to fight Vettel.
