Chapter 0355 Pre-Match Preparation
The start time of the WRC Rally Championship in Spain is on October 6, local time, and the registration deadline is on the 20th of this month.
The registration is over, and the next step is to renovate the race car. The WRC rally is divided into two groups: the original group and the modified group, and in each group, it is subdivided into four groups according to the different displacements of the cars.
The rules of the WRC are very detailed, although the rules of the competition in the late 80s are not as developed in the 21st century, there are special rigid requirements for the engine and the speed of the car, but without any modifications, it is definitely not possible to drag the car over to the competition.
Fortunately, the Tianming team is in the original factory group this time, and there are not many changes needed for the vehicle, given that the Tianming team has just been established, and the professional team members do not, so these tasks are done by the Audi team.
At the same time as the transformation of the Phoenix car, Jonathan, as a driver, is also making final preparations for this competition, because the competition time is three days in total, in addition to requiring the driver to have superb driving skills and rich experience, the physical requirements for the driver are also very high, so during this time, Jonathan is practicing physical fitness every day.
At the same time, Jonathan also found his navigator Neuer, who also needed the cooperation of the navigator in the three-day race, and the complex terrain of the race also required the cooperation of the navigator.
It can be said that the WRC Rally Championship is the perfect combination of the driver, the navigator and the car to achieve the final result.
"I never thought that one day you would be so downtrodden as to compete for the Chinese team, is there really no other choice? Not necessarily a big team like Audi, as long as it is our European side, it is not certain, whether the car built in China can pass the inspection or not!" Neuer seemed very incomprehensible about Jonathan's choice.
"Man, just wait and see, don't underestimate the mysterious kingdom of the East!" Jonathan replied breathlessly as he did his push-ups.
Only those who have driven that car know how good it is, and Jonathan even thinks that if he is lucky, he can even win the Spanish race and return to the top!
However, even if he can't win the championship, Jonathan believes that the results of this competition will definitely not be bad.
During the period when the car was modified, Zhou Jingming took the time to go back to China, in order to enter the European and American markets this time, he has been in Germany for a long time, and there is still nearly a month before the start of the competition, he wants to go back to arrange the company's affairs first.
Although the performance in the European market is not satisfactory, the sales of Phoenix brand cars in China are still far ahead, if it is not subject to the factory capacity, even if it is Santana, which has been reduced in price, I am afraid it cannot be compared.
Knowing that Zhou Jingming quietly formed a team abroad and was about to participate in the WRC rally in October, Zhao Ke and He Yingxun and others were not to mention how surprised, if it weren't for the fact that things in various factories really couldn't leave, they all wanted to follow Zhou Jingming to watch this competition.
After arranging domestic affairs, Zhou Jingming came to Germany again, and this time, Zhou Jingming had He Yingqing by his side.
In addition to the company's affairs, Zhou Jingming this time, mainly to bring He Yingqing over and witness this historic moment together, in addition to reading, racing has always been He Yingqing's favorite thing, which Zhou Jingming has always kept in mind.
He Yingqing, who went abroad for the first time, not to mention how happy she was along the way, took Zhou Jingming's hand to look at this and that, and the smile on her face never disappeared.
By the time Zhou Jingming and He Yingqing arrived in Germany, it was already September 24, local time, and at this time, the Phoenix sedan used in the competition had been completely modified with the assistance of the Audi team, and Jonathan himself was also ready for the final preparations.
"Mr. Zhou, we plan to go to Catalonia, Spain on the 26th, and you can go with us then. On the night of Zhou Jingming's arrival, Brandt found him.
Before the official race, the driver and the navigator need to conduct a two-day field survey of the track, the first survey, the driver needs to feedback the road information to the navigator, the navigator records the information in a short language, and then the second survey, the navigator reports the road book, and the driver checks the information.
In addition to the two-day site survey, the team also needs to do a final inspection of the vehicle's parts before the start of the race to ensure that it can compete the next day.
All in all, the four major motor events belonging to the FIA are a huge project, not that with the car and the driver, the final success can be guaranteed, every detail during the race, the team needs to take into account, any of the links of the problem, will have a great impact on the final results, which is why car events like F1, WRC so attractive to the audience.
The perfection of the details of the game will maximize the enjoyment of the game.
"Okay, then trouble Mr. Brandt. Zhou Jingming hurriedly replied. If it weren't for Brant's assistance during this time, Tianming Racing Team would definitely not be able to participate in this competition, and this kindness, Zhou Jingming has always kept it in mind, of course he knows what Audi wants, since the other party is so honest, then Zhou Jingming will not mind promoting the early arrival of the joint venture project of FAW-Volkswagen when he returns to China next time.
Everything was ready, two days later, Zhou Jingming took He Yingqing, followed the Audi team, to the Spanish station of the WRC rally, that is, the circuit in Catalonia, thanks to the holding of this rally, Catalonia tourists have increased significantly, and the whole region is surrounded by a warm atmosphere.
After going to the organizing committee to complete the relevant procedures, on October 3rd, the first field survey of the competition officially began, although it has not been five years since the official competition, but the previous competition experience, Jonathan has always kept in mind, plus he and Neuer have been partners for many years, the field survey is nothing for them.
After the end of the two-day field survey, next, is the last machine parts inspection before the race, this time, it is responsible for the team's maintenance team, the members of the maintenance team, also temporarily borrowed from the Audi team, after the end of the competition, Zhou Jingming felt, how to build the Tianming team to build a complete team, otherwise a situation like this, it is simply a poverty alleviation team, too much to affect the image of the country.
After everything is ready, it is getting closer and closer to the arrival of the race, and near the entire track, the smoke of gunpowder is filled, and the big battle is about to break out!
