Chapter 422: I Want a Car!

"What, you're a race car driver?" Yang Meng looked at Xie Er with wide eyes.

Schell drank a glass of Sprite: "Isn't it weird? Why else would I come to the Isle of Man? So I want to thank you, if you hadn't cured me, I wouldn't have been able to compete now. ”

Yang Meng gasped after hearing this, and looked at Xie Er repeatedly. This woman is not simple!

The Isle of Man TT race is also divided into eight categories, with the exception of the tandem race, which is commonly known as the 'side three' class, and the remaining seven groups are all singles.

The gap between these seven groups is: displacement, original car, modified car, electric car and the like.

For example, the 'super modification group' is a modified car with a displacement of 1000cc, which also depends on the number of cylinders, the displacement of the twin cylinders can be increased to 1200, the car can not be less than 165 kg, a total of six laps, and the slick tires must be used; the 'super original car' group is a 1000cc original car, the weight of the car cannot be less than 170KG, and the tires are not required; the 'super sports car group' is a 600cc modification group, and the two-cylinder exhaust can be increased to 750cc. It is also four laps, and the weight of the car cannot be less than 161KG.

The highest level of the class is the 'Advanced TT' class, which allows all three bikes to compete, with the latter two being free of tyre restrictions and a six-lap race. It can be regarded as the Isle of Man TT Smash Bros., and the masters of each group compete with each other.

Yang Meng asked curiously, "Which group is it a single group?"

"The four-stroke, twin-cylinder, water-cooled production group, as well as the 'super original car' group and the 'super tuning group'. Scheer replied, "You Han people should be familiar with the first group!"

Yang Meng translated this to Xiao Peng, and Xiao Peng nodded, this should be the most familiar Isle of Man TT group for Han people.

This group is actually very special, it has been suspended several times, and it was only in 2012 that it was replied again, and the Han people are familiar with this group because the 'Spring Breeze Motorcycle' participates in this group through the agent of the corrupt country. The requirement is to use a four-stroke twin-cylinder water-cooled car with a maximum displacement of 650cc, which is exactly the room for the 'Chunfeng 650'. The first and only rider from the Han Kingdom to compete in the Isle of Man TT, Cheung Wai On, rode the 'Chunfeng 650' in 50th place with an average speed of 172km/h.

Of course, this is a far cry from the Isle of Man best speed of 212 kilometers per hour, but they have finally finished the race! That year, like Dongying driver Matsushita Yoshinari died in a car accident directly in the qualifiers!

Participating in such a race is basically that after getting in the car, life does not belong to you, the first gear breaks one hundred and two gears, the head is warped, the third gear is violently accelerated, the fourth throttle is in the end, the fifth gear is bursting, and the sixth gear is dead.

But let's be honest, this category and the e-bike class are the least influential class in the Isle of Man TT.

Xiao Peng sighed and said: "It's really a special empty joy! I ran half the world, but I didn't even have a chance to participate." ”

Looking at Xiao Peng's aggrieved appearance, Xie Er asked puzzledly, "What is he talking about?"

Yang Meng explained: "I didn't qualify for the Isle of Man TT, who knew that the requirements for drivers here are so high!"

Schell laughed: "Isn't the Isle of Man TT the best event not demanding? If anyone can come and compete, what has become of this place?

Yang Meng nodded, what Xie Er said made sense. Like the only driver to have competed in the Isle of Man TT, Wayne Cheung, he doesn't actually have the qualifications

In order to expand the influence of the competition in Asia and at the special request of the sponsors, the organizers of the TT Isle of Man specially approved Zhang Wei'an to participate in the 'wild card' way. And in this way, Zhang Wei'an also participated in various motorcycle events held in the country for two consecutive months before getting the qualification.

The most annoying thing is that the motorcycle road race certificate required by this event is biased towards the ACU and SACU of the corrupt country, and it is relatively cumbersome for other regions to get the certification. A Han driver who really wants to participate in the race must prepare for at least more than a year before he can qualify! Just like Zhang Wei'an is a very good racing driver himself, if he wants to participate in this race, he has to rely on 'going through the back door' and the results are not satisfactory! The level here can be imagined.

Scheer's ability to compete here only shows that she has a good record in her usual competitions and has good points.

It's not an easy task for a woman to run the Isle of Man TT, and women in the history of the Isle of Man TT for more than 100 years add up to no more than a slap in the face! But these female drivers are really not vases, just like a female driver named Jennifer Timos, the fastest lap is 210 kilometers per hour, far more than Zhang Wei'an's speed of 172 kilometers per hour! It also set the fastest lap for a female driver.

You know, even for a male rider, the Isle of Man record is just over 217 km!

Like Yang Meng and Xiao Peng, who have neither an international driver's license, nor a competition record, and no 'three-no personnel' specially approved by the organizers, they can't even think of competing here.

Seeing Yang Meng's disappointed look, Xie Er suddenly asked, "Have you ever tested the car here?"

"Test drive?" Yang Meng was stunned.

Schell said: "Of course, if you want to race, you must at least be familiar with the track, right? I have run at least hundreds of times on this 60-kilometer road, and almost all the turns and slopes of the whole track are imprinted in the minds of those of us. You don't know how you can do a good job on this track, it's raining so you can't practice, otherwise it's full of drivers who know the track. You can't race, but you can run a few laps here, right?"

Yang Meng sighed: "It's only like this." ”

Schell asked, "What about your motorcycles?" I didn't see when I came. ”

Yang Meng spread out his hand: "No car." I'm going to buy two of them. You see so many motorcycle enthusiasts here on motorcycles, it's not difficult to buy two, right?"

Schelle's face was black: "Please, are you really planning to come to the competition?"

Yang Meng smiled: "Emergency, I didn't plan to come, but if you come, you have to try it, right?"

Schell laughed: "That's it, I have a car there, and I can practice when the weather is clear, how do you feel about how many laps I will take you?"

"Do you have a spare car?" Yang Meng asked puzzled.

Schell nodded: "I don't want to admit it, but as a female driver who can compete in the Isle of Man TT, I have taken advantage of my gender. I'm probably the one with the most sponsors in the Isle of Man TT, and that's why I have a great team. ”

"Is this good?" Yang Meng was a little embarrassed after hearing this.

"My team is thankful to you, after all, if I can't make it, everyone will have to drink the Northwest Wind, and the sponsors are the last to see this, so it's no problem for me to tell you: my lifesaver wants to experience the Isle of Man Circuit, which shouldn't be a problem." In fact, my agent offered to give you a signed one

Motorcycles as a thank you. Going from one to two is not a big problem. ”

"No, no, I'll just buy it. Yang Meng said.

"How is that possible? Isn't my life worth two motorcycles?" Schell said, "I think the sponsor would prefer to give you the car instead of lend it to you, because you don't have to sign a declaration." ”

All drivers participating in the Isle of Man TT must sign a declaration before the race, which is commonly known as the 'life and death certificate' of the Han people, as well as the eight pounds entry fee, and there is no need to sign this when training. It's also a hassle-free.

Xiao Peng held the translator on the side and suddenly said: "Mengmeng, let's go get the car in advance, it's better to adjust it yourself!"

Yang Meng nodded: "Xer, I don't make too high requirements, I won't touch your modified liter car, just help me find two mass-produced liter cars." ”

Schell replied directly: "That's no problem, but my sponsor is Augusta, and I only have one bike, the F4RR, can you get used to it?"

"Absolutely. Yang Meng said.

Although the Isle of Man TT is much more tolerant than the 'Moto GP' race, it is not a car that can be entered, they have a list, and only the models on the list can participate, such as BMW, Suzuki, Yamaha, Kawasaki, Ducati, Augusta, Apulia and several other brands.

While other companies have a wide range of cars that can be raced, Augusta is only one F4RR.

Now Yang Meng understands that Augusta went to sponsor Scheer.

The Augusta F4RR is a very good-looking car, and the design of the car was created by the team led by the motorcycle master Massimo Bugarini himself. This old man is known as the 'Leonardo da Vinci of motorcycle design'!

Of course, there are problems with this car. Judging from the data, it is not particularly prominent in the ranks of public supercars, with maximum torque, maximum power, 100 kilometers of acceleration and top speed are not very good, and there are not as many electronic devices as models of the same level, so the handling is more difficult to control.

However, the price of this car is surprisingly high: it costs almost 500,000 yuan to buy a new Damao car in China! Even if it is a stock car, it costs more than 200,000 yuan! Among models of the same level, the performance of this car is not as good as other products, but the price is far superior to that of other cars.

Who made this car take the top route?

It's really fitting for this car to sponsor a beautiful driver: the results don't have to be the best, but the appearance must be beautiful!

As for Xiao Peng's saying that sending the car over in advance is also to know in his heart, and he can rest assured that he will test the car and ride it himself, which is just like a professional skydiver will fold his own parachute bag, which is a performance of being responsible for himself.

Sheel drank the wine from the cup and said, "Yang, I'll have someone bring the car over tomorrow morning, but you have to promise me one thing." ”

"Oh, what's the matter?" Yang Meng asked puzzled.

Schell pointed to the copper hot pot on the table and said, "You're going to give this to me。。。。。。!" I'm going to take it back and let my mom try it too. She couldn't imagine anything so delicious in the world!"

"Ugh。。。。。。 Yang Meng didn't know what to say.

That's right, who in the world can resist the charm of hot pot?
