Chapter 0560: Zero Breakthrough
When Li Mingzhe asked, Zhou Jingming couldn't help frowning, he didn't think about this, domestic car manufacturers, whether FAW or SAIC, do not have their own teams, and they don't even have the ability to modify vehicles, so how can they participate in the competition?
And what Li Mingzhe said is also reasonable, since it is the China Touring Car Championship, there is only one domestic car company, Tianming Racing Team, and the rest are all Japanese and South Korean teams, which is really unreasonable.
"That's it, Minister Li, after the official notice of the competition is issued, if any domestic car manufacturer wants to participate, it can send the participating vehicles to our Tianming company, and we will be responsible for modifying the vehicles in accordance with the competition rules, and as for the participating drivers, our Tianming team can also borrow them. Zhou Jingming thought of this and thought about it.
At that time, when Tianming participated in the WRC Rally Championship for the first time, Audi helped him in this way, so there is the current Tianming team. For Tianming, it is not difficult to modify a racing car, and the team currently has signed a number of drivers, and also needs to be trained through such competitions, and the championship of this competition is not important, the important thing is to play the reputation of the "China Touring Car Championship".
"Okay, then I'll take care of the rest of the car companies first, thank you Tianming Company. Li Mingzhe didn't be polite to Zhou Jingming, he spent so much thought, he couldn't give up halfway.
"Minister Li is too polite, since I have no opinion, then after I go back, I will start preparing for this event. ”
Regarding the matter of the China Touring Car Championship, it has been decided for the time being. After Zhou Jingming returned to the company, he immediately found Zhao Ke, and the two of them walked towards the fleet modification factory under the jurisdiction of the vehicle factory.
"The modification of Yixuan's SUV should be almost over, right?" Zhou Jingming asked as he walked.
"The main part has been refurbished, but the engine parts, because I don't know what kind of restrictions will be made by the specific competition rules, so we are still waiting for the official competition rules to be issued by the FIA. Zhao Ke replied.
Zhou Jingming nodded, "In a few days, there should be Santana and Jetta, these domestic joint venture cars will be sent to us, and then you will arrange for the engineers of the modification factory to transform these cars according to the same standards." ”
"What, do we still need to prepare for FAW and SAIC's racing cars?" Zhao Ke asked curiously.
"It's not just the cars, I'm going to prepare them for the drivers. Zhou Jingming smiled, "This is an extraordinary period, these car manufacturers do not have their own team supporting facilities at all, they all say that it is the China Touring Car Championship, there are no domestic car companies to participate, what else to talk about China? ”
Between the two of them talking, they have already come to the modification factory, the special modification engineer of the Tianming team, is renovating a car placed in the middle of the house, the outside of the car has been pasted with the special logo of the Tianming team, but the overall outline can still be clearly seen.
Although in terms of appearance, it is not as good as the Mercedes-Benz G series and hardcore SUVs such as the Cherokee, it is undeniable that this is still a rare boutique SUV, and once it can stand out in this touring car championship, it will definitely have an important impact on the official launch next year.
Although at this year's World Cup in the United States, due to the design progress, Yixuan SUV did not make a successful debut, but as a FIFA global partner, Tianming Company can still make corresponding promotions in subsequent football events, for Zhou Jingming, such promotion intensity is enough.
Seeing Zhou Jingming and Zhao Ke walking in, several engineers in the house also greeted them warmly, and after a while, the person in charge of the modification factory also hurried over.
After Zhou Jingming learned about the specific modification details of Yixuan SUV, he told Zhao Ke about the modification of Santana and Jetta sedans again, and told the person in charge of the modification factory again.
The next day, that is, on September 8, 1994, the China Automobile Federation also officially issued an announcement, announcing that the first China Touring Car Championship will be held on October 3 this year, kicked off at the Shencheng International Circuit, and at the same time, there was also a trial version of the rules of the China Touring Car Championship, which was actually adapted by the China Automobile Federation based on the Asian Touring Car Championship, and most of the rules have not changed.
As soon as the announcement was issued, the world was shocked!
For the domestic public, automobile racing is really a very novel thing, the kind of exciting and exciting tricks, for anyone, the visual impact is very great, just imagine, how many men do not dream of one day being able to be like those racing drivers, driving a modified racing car, galloping on the track?
Since there are many people who are destined to not be racing drivers in this life, it is also a wonderful thing to be able to go to the scene and feel the real atmosphere of the race.
"It's great that motorsport is finally being held in China!"
"Finally have the opportunity to go live and watch the exciting cars!"
"There's no hope of seeing a high-level car event like F1, and it's a pleasure to be able to watch a touring car championship on your doorstep. ”
…………
At the same time that the domestic people are hotly discussing this automobile event, the domestic automobile factory also received a fax from the Ministry of Machinery at the same time, which stated that Tianming Automobile Company is willing to provide modification services for all participating vehicles this time, and provides free drivers to participate on behalf of relevant car companies.
Such conditions of service are impossible to refuse for any car manufacturer, especially since these manufacturers are participating in such a touring car championship for the first time, and this event has received the attention of the people of the whole country, who does not want to show their face in such a field?
Therefore, after receiving the notice from the Ministry of Mechanics, FAW, SAIC and even BAIC are competing to send their product cars to Tianming Company's modification factory and sign up for this RV championship.
At the same time, several automakers of the island nation Toyota. Honda and Mazda, as well as South Korea's Hyundai Motor Company, have also received invitations from the China Automobile Federation to participate in the China Touring Car Championship, hoping that the teams of these companies can participate in the China Touring Car Championship as special guests.
Although several automobile companies in the island country have great "friction" with Tianming Company in Southeast Asia, those are normal business competition, and the technology is not as good as others, and if you lose, you will lose, but if you can defeat the Tianming team in China, wouldn't it save a little face to some extent?
Therefore, Toyota, after receiving such an invitation, also gave a reply as soon as possible, expressing its willingness to participate in the China Touring Car Championship, and gave a dead order to the Toyota team, which must defeat the Tianming team in this championship!
Not only Toyota, but also several other Japanese and Korean car companies have also expressed their willingness to participate in this year's touring car championship, and China's motor sports have finally ushered in zero breakthroughs in this year!
