China Touring Car Championship!

From the name of this event can be seen the relevant information of the competition, since it is an RV, the vehicle must be a family car that has reached mass production, as for the specific requirements for the participating vehicles, when the time will be issued by the China Automobile Federation a series of regulations to make provisions.

Since even the name of this automobile competition has been decided, the Ministry of Machinery and Engineering is also led by Li Mingzhe, and the China Automobile Federation will jointly discuss with the Shencheng Municipal Government the construction of a professional international cycling track in Shencheng.

Just as Zhou Jingming had guessed before, the Shencheng government was very interested in such a proposal, and the Ministry of Machinery was involved, so Shencheng quickly approved such a municipal project and prepared to build a professional international automobile race field in Anting.

This kind of planning is similar to the Shencheng International Circuit built in 2004, but this time it entered the planning ten years in advance, I don't know if it is a coincidence or that there is a providence in the dark.

"Xiao Zhou, this time the Shencheng International Circuit was proposed by you to be built, and the Shencheng Municipal Government has officially approved it, and even the site for construction has been found, but there is still a problem that has not been solved, that is, the candidate for the venue designer has not been decided, I don't know if you have any recommendations?" In Zhou Jingming's office, Li Mingzhe sat there, looked at Zhou Jingming and said.

Because this is the first time to build such a professional-level automobile race track in China, there is no experience to follow, and it is impossible to say that there is a professional car track designer in China, since it is necessary to build an international professional track that meets the standards of the FIA, Li Mingzhe means to let Zhou Jingming recommend a reliable designer to carry out professional planning for the construction of the track.

"I can go to the FIA to recommend the designer, this is not a problem at all, I will go to the FIA headquarters in two days and finalize the matter. Zhou Jingming replied with a smile, this in itself is a promise of Zhou Jingming, Shencheng is responsible for the approval, and Zhou Jingming will help solve the specific track designer.

"There's no need to go to the FIA headquarters in person, isn't it possible that you have something else to do this time?" asked curiously, the FIA headquarters is still in Paris, France (moved to Zurich, Switzerland in 2004), Zhou Jingming just wants the FIA to help recommend a track designer, just make a phone call or send a fax, why go all the way to Paris?

Zhou Jingming smiled, and then replied, "I went to the FIA headquarters this time, and I really have other things to do, and asking them to recommend a track designer is actually not my main purpose, but just to complete it by the way." ”

Li Mingzhe looked at Zhou Jingming and did not speak, but waited for Zhou Jingming to continue.

Zhou Jingming paused, and then continued, "I went to Paris this time, mainly to discuss with the FIA about the F1 Grand Prix in China. ”

As one of the four major automobile events of the FIA, and known as the world's three major sports events along with the World Cup and the Olympic Games, Formula 1 is the most successful and largest competition organized by the FIA, attracting the largest number of people.

If the development level of the domestic automobile industry was not high in the past, and there was no professional automobile race, it would be okay if the F1 race did not appear in China, and now there will soon be a professional track built here in Shencheng, and if the F1 Grand Prix does not settle in China, it is a bit too much.

Zhou Jingming's main purpose this time is to be able to introduce the F1 Grand Prix to China, and let the soon-to-be-built Shencheng International Circuit host the F1 Grand Prix in China, otherwise he would not have to go to Paris.

"You want Shencheng International Circuit to host the F1 race!" Li Mingzhe couldn't help but show a happy expression on his face when he heard this, "This idea is good, if the F1 race can appear in China, it will definitely cause a huge sensation, and it will also be very helpful to enhance my country's status in the international automobile industry at that time, this idea is good, I support you." ”

As the person in charge of the domestic automobile industry, Lee Ming-che naturally had to start from the entire automobile industry when considering the problem.

"If you can, can Minister Li ask the Chinese Automobile Federation to send someone to Paris with me, which will be more formal. Zhou Jingming looked at Li Mingzhe and asked.

The China Automobile Federation is organizationally subordinate to the leadership of the State General Administration of Sports, although it is said that it has no necessary relationship with the Ministry of Machinery, but if Li Mingzhe comes forward, the Automobile Federation will definitely not refuse.

"This is the right thing to do, I will go back to the leadership of the General Administration of Sports to talk about this matter, and ask the FIA to send a person to Paris with you, and try to talk about the F1 Grand Prix in China. Lee Ming-che replied.

After Li Mingzhe went back, there was no delay, and immediately called the General Administration of Sports, and explained to them the reason for the matter, for the development of domestic motor sports, the General Administration of Sports must fully support, so it was quickly finalized to go to the FIA headquarters in Paris with Zhou Jingming, that is, the current vice chairman of the Chinese Automobile Federation Meng Fanzhi, who negotiated on behalf of the Chinese Automobile Federation.

Now that the people who went to the FIA headquarters have been decided, Zhou Jingming and Meng Fanzhi set off for Paris on February 10, striving to get this matter done before the Spring Festival.

Compared with FIFA, on the FIA side, Zhou Jingming does not have any acquaintances, and the FIA officials he met at the WRC Spanish Rally Championship have long since retired, but fortunately, the Chinese Automobile Federation has communicated with the FIA in advance, so the purpose of Zhou Jingming's trip has long been known by the FIA.

The FIA's headquarters in Paris.

On the afternoon of the second day after Zhou Jingming and Meng Fanzhi arrived in Paris, they met with Xavi, the current president of the FIA.

"Mr. President, the purpose of our visit this time, you must also be very clear, we have the largest population in the world, the domestic automobile industry is also booming, Formula 1 as the most influential competition of the FIA, if we can't see this event in China, it will be a great loss for both of us. Zhou Jingming looked at Harvey and said sincerely.

"I can understand your thoughts, but I can't give you a clear answer right now, and we won't discuss the possibility of bringing Formula 1 Grand Prix to China until your Shencheng International Circuit, which is under construction, can be certified by our FIA. Harvey replied very frankly.
