Japanese and South Korean car companies have expressed their willingness to participate in the China Touring Car Championship, which is somewhat surprising to the Chinese Automobile Federation, compared with the rest of the auto events, because it is the first time to be held in China, the amount of prize money for this event is not much, and it can not even make up for all the costs paid in order to participate in this event.

Automobile racing itself is a particularly money-burning sport, unless it is a particularly strong car manufacturer has the capital to play this sport, small car companies, simply can't afford to burn, an ordinary car car costs millions of dollars, not everyone can afford it.

Toyota's idea here is very simple, that is, it wants to beat the Tianming team and other domestic car manufacturers at the door of China, after all, Toyota, as a veteran car team in Asia, has won many Asian touring car championships, so for this Chinese touring car championship, Toyota is determined to win.

As for companies like Honda and Hyundai, they also think more or less like this.

In a word, they all regarded the Tianming team as a soft persimmon, but they forgot that there must be a reason why the Tianming team has been able to win the WRC World Rally Championship and the 24 Hours of Le Mans repeatedly, even if it is a model that has not yet been officially released, they should not be underestimated.

Zhou Jingming naturally knows that the Japanese and Korean car companies represented by Toyota will definitely want to beat these domestic teams in this championship, but since Zhou Jingming took the initiative to invite them to participate in this competition, he must have predicted in his heart.

"The next October 3rd start the touring car championship, a few of you will represent FAW, SAIC and BAIC to participate in the competition, and the car that is being renovated over there is the car you will drive at that time, this is the first time you will participate in this level of competition, my requirements are not high, you can complete all the mileage of the race. ”

At the Tianming Company's modification factory, Zhou Jingming gathered all the contracted drivers of the current Tianming team together and gave them some ideological work.

At present, the contracted drivers of the Tianming team have already exceeded 15 people, five of which are European racing drivers, and the remaining ten people are all young people in China.

So since two years ago, Zhou Jingming has consciously cultivated domestic racing drivers, and hired high-level European racing coaches to give professional guidance to these young people, the Chinese population base is so large, you can always find your own "car king Schumacher".

After two years of training, these 10 young drivers are finally making their professional debuts, and it is clear that they are both excited and nervous.

"Of course, since you are representing the three championships of these teams of SAIC, you must go all out, this is the most basic professional ethics, you can't deliberately release water or something just because you are a member of the Tianming team, to tell you the truth, the Tianming team does not need you to release water at all. Zhou Jingming paused, and then continued,

"What's more, there will be Japanese and South Korean teams to participate in this competition, you will never think that you will be left far behind by the drivers of the Japanese and Korean teams, and you will lose it when the time comes, but the face of our entire country, remember, that day's race, you represent your respective teams, but also represent our China!"

After doing ideological work for these young people, Zhou Jingming went to see the preparations of the relevant racing cars, and then returned to his office.

At present, the development of Yixuan SUV has entered the final stage, the engineers of the project team are further optimizing the relevant parts according to the parameters fed back from various experiments, and at the same time, the trial production of this SUV has also begun to be verified in batches at the production base in Chuncheng, as long as there is no problem in the process, it can be officially mass-produced immediately.

With the passage of time, the opening ceremony of the first China Touring Car Championship is getting closer and closer, and here in Shencheng, the heat of automobile racing is gradually heating up, waiting for the official arrival of October 3rd.

In order to make this RV championship go smoothly, the Shencheng Municipal Government has also made great efforts, not only to do the publicity work in place, but also to arrange the venue.

There is still a week before the start of the race, and the ticket sales of this year's touring car championship will be officially open to the public, because at present, on the side of the racetrack, only the main grandstand has been fully built, and the secondary grandstand is still under construction.

In other words, the number of spectators that can be accommodated in this touring car championship is 50,000 at most. In order to attract more audiences to the scene, this time the ticket price is only a nominal dime, and all ticket proceeds will be donated to the Red Cross.

I thought that the people who came to the scene to watch the game this time were more than 10,000 people at most, but everyone's enthusiasm was completely beyond Zhou Jingming's imagination, when the game began, it was the 11th Golden Week, and the first China Touring Car Championship became a project chosen by most people, and it took only five days to sell out all 50,000 tickets!

Not only that, with the efforts of Lee Ming-che, this time, the RV Championship will be broadcast on CCTV Sports Channel, and the satellite TV channels of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai provinces and cities will also be specially broadcast.

With the tickets sold out, the time was finally fixed on the 3rd of the month, and the first China Touring Car Championship officially kicked off at the Shanghai International Circuit.

The 50,000 spectators sat in the main stand, and Tianming Automobile Company, as the sponsor of this event, also took advantage of this opportunity to fill the vicinity of the track with "Tianming elements".

And on the track that has just been built, all the cars that participated in this championship are parked there. Toyota, Honda, Mazda, Hyundai, Tianming, SAIC, FAW and BAIC will compete for the championship in this touring car championship.

On the Japanese and South Korean teams, each team sent two cars to participate in this competition, and the prototype of each car is different, on the other hand, on the domestic side, although there are more cars sent, but the model is very single, only Santana, Jeep and Jetta these joint venture cars.

On the side of the Tianming team, there are a total of three racing cars, which are Phoenix brand sedans, Kirin sedans and Yixuan SUVs!

Before the official start of the competition, the organizing committee specially arranged for all the participating vehicles to patrol around the track, which was regarded as a warm-up for the competition, and this warm-up also brought the atmosphere of the scene to the first climax.

The shouts of the audience and the roar of the engine complement each other, which is not only the collision of science and technology, but also the competition of sweat, which belongs to men's sports!
