Chapter 948 How to make a profit at the speed track?

"This is?" looked at the garage in the parking lot, making Todd look at Xiao Peng in confusion.

The garage has four floors, the first floor is home to Xiao Peng's various luxury cars, which is more like an exhibition hall, and the second floor is the race cars of the six major manufacturers specified by the FIA GT1, Aston Martin, Ford, Lamborghini, Nissan, Maserati and Corvette.

The upper floors are a variety of production RVs, such as the Honda Civic, Volkswagen Polo, Nissan Tiida, Honda Fit, Seamaster M6 and the like.

These are all cars in the RV group, and to put it bluntly, they are family cars. Of course, these cars are all modified, and the shell is the same as the car on the road, but the inside is different.

Xiao Peng smiled: "This is all for renting or organizing small events by yourself, all from the 'Black Catfish' and the technical team he brings, you can try it." ”

Jean Todd casually opened a car to visit and laughed: "'Black Catfish' is worthy of being a student of Raymond, which is very good." The ducts that provide cooling air to the brake discs are well designed, and the intercooler is also well designed to cool the air that is increased by the turbo, increasing the oxygen concentration per unit volume and improving the efficiency of the engine; the second spoiler on the rear wing increases the downforce at the rear end; the pedals of the Eagle Country APRacing, the racing data telemetry device of the Manetti-Magneti Magneti; and the Okada ignition ring of the Okada 。。。。。。 It's a very good match! It's very reasonable! It's very well modified! Xiao, you're really willing to spend money. ”

Motorsports, even if it is a touring car race, is not something that ordinary people can play. If you want to take the stage on the field, the hardware must definitely be passable, the mid-level racing shock absorber costs more than 10,000 yuan, the roll cage is more than 20,000 yuan, not to mention the engine and gearbox, what racing seats, tires and hubs, brake systems, platinum spark plugs, brake steel hoses and countless other small racing parts。。。。。。 The money for a Fit modification buys several Fits.

So racing is a pit, although there are many enthusiasts, but it's really not everyone can play. Of course, you can also participate in the amateur competition of the private race, and you can drive a car without any modifications. However, you need to bring your own FIA-certified racing equipment: a racing suit starts at 5,000, a helmet starts at 10,000, racing shoes starts at 2,000, fireproof underwear is 2,000, and Hanse systems are available at 3,000。。。。。。 It's all cheap! And what Xiao Peng provides here are all top-notch goods!

When it comes to the key point, the FIA will make money, and they require that these equipment must be certified and registered, and a pair of 800 yuan racing gloves will be sold for 2,000 yuan after registration, and a 20,000 yuan shock absorber will be sold for 50,000 yuan after registration! This is also the reason why Xiao Peng is not interested in the FIA.

Xiao Peng listened to Todd's words and said: "It cannot be denied that the level of racing drivers in Huaxia is still relatively low, you are like your children there, you have been in contact with karting since you were eight or nine years old, but in Huaxia for various reasons, not many parents are willing to send their children to run karting, and they will not regard racing as a profession, racing is not a part of Chinese culture, so in our country, cars and racing cars are considered emerging products." ”

"Even if you grow up and many people like racing, they can't continue to play because of economic conditions and other problems. Especially for participating in national events, you must also have a racing license issued by our National Automobile Federation, and the cost of obtaining a national racing license is almost 10,000 yuan, and rally and track races also need to obtain different racing licenses, and then count the sky-high modification costs. This is too high a threshold for many Chinese riders. ”

Jean Todd said: "It's a must to be trained in professional racing and driving, it's for the sake of the drivers. ”

Xiao Peng nodded, and Todd was right, like a racing car to maximize its potential, the car's electronic assistance system is usually completely removed, and it is not easy to make the car 'obedient'. For many people, it is learning an almost new way of driving from scratch, and any racing driving skills such as catapult start, left foot brake, downshift heel toe, and line routing and cornering are not something that can be practiced in a day or two. Professional training is required.

If you don't master these basic racing skills well, you will definitely be cannon fodder when you go on the track, and all kinds of accidents are generally caused by such drivers. If you accidentally hit the car and get on the track------ there is no insurance company to lose money, and there will be no division of responsibility.

"So I'm all 'track days' and 'folk races' here at the moment, and these cars are for days like this. It provides services for many luxury cars that cannot afford to play with cars. Xiao Peng explained.

The so-called 'folk races' refer to the private events organized by domestic racing circuits. These private events are only open to racing enthusiasts and are denied participation by professional drivers. Drivers can race after handing over their usual car to a tuning shop for modification.

Of course, this shows the difference in the level of modification, the level of modification of the car and the driving level of the driver are uneven. So Xiao Peng simply provides cars modified according to the specifications of standard touring car races, everyone is the same car, see your own level!

You need to pay rent to use the car here, and if you can't afford it, you can drive your own car.

And the price of Xiao Peng's folk races here is also cheap, the registration fee is 1,000, the racing suit is 500 a day, the car rental is 20,000 a day, and the driver is responsible for the accident.

This price is really a conscience price. If you want to participate in the Huaxia Automobile Rally, the cost of renting a car to participate in World War I ranges from 40,000 to 100,000 yuan. Like Xiao Peng's professionally modified professional RV racing car, two games a day? That's really the price of cabbage!

You must know that even if you participate in a single-brand event (the car manufacturer provides the same brand of a unified specification car for the driver to compete on the track, that is, how fast the car is depends on the driver's ability), the participation fee for each stop is tens of thousands, and there will be discounts for participating throughout the year。。。。。。 But this is really not something that anyone can afford, compared to Xiao Peng, it is definitely the price of cabbage.

It's just that the event can't be organized every day, so everyone can only settle for the next best thing and run the 'track day'.

A 'track day' is a time when a driver can familiarize himself with the track while wearing safety equipment such as a helmet while driving his or her usual vehicle. But there is a problem in Huaxia, that is, the tracks that meet the rules can be counted on almost ten fingers, and these tracks are concentrated in the imperial capital, the magic capital, the Pearl River Delta, Chengdu and other places, but there are no track days to participate in such areas as Wuhan, Zhejiang, and Xi'an, where racing enthusiasts are concentrated. And the location of the Siao Peng Circuit is the farthest away from those racing hotspots. So there are fewer people coming. And the price of 800 a day is cheaper than other racing circuits, but it is also very expensive。。。。。。

Moreover, modified cars are not allowed to enter the field on track days, that is, cars that are usually driven, which makes many people lose interest. Only those who drive their own sports cars to cool off the pace, as well as those who participate in the 'CHINA GT' races, will come to the 'Track Day'.

In fact, there is another very important reason why Xiao Peng does not hold the 'national race' or 'international race', that is, the car park has only been certified by the National Automobile Federation, and has not yet been certified by the FIA。。。。。。 Only FIA-certified circuits can host international races, and now Xiao Peng can hold 'national character races' here, but thinking of the complicated procedures of organizing events, Xiao Peng is too lazy to toss. Just throw aside any 'national character competition' and 'international competition', and let Yang Meng hold a few folk competitions.

Of course, Xiao Peng has another profit point, that is, luxury car rental, take Lamborghini LP700-4 as an example, 60,000 a day. This price is not inexpensive, usually renting a car like this on the road, it is 20,000 a day. But in the urban area, the Lamborghini LP700-4 can go up to 80 per hour, which is a high incense, but what about the race track? It is a hard run------ of course, you must also do what you can, after all, no one can afford to pay for an accident.

Therefore, Xiao Peng's luxury car rental business here has not been opened since its birth. The luxury cars here are props for the girls who come to the parking lot to take pictures。。。。。。

But Xiao Peng is not in a hurry, anyway, there are so many wronged advertisers behind, and he is not afraid of losing money, isn't it just here? If you count on the current income from these arenas, Xiao Peng has already lost his pants------ so many employees are not eating for nothing!

Xiao Peng took Jean Todd to visit every place in the parking lot: stands, VIP rooms, hotels, restaurants, souvenir shops, snack streets, go-kart parks, car museums, outdoor display areas, although there are no businesses now, but after all, the place is too big, and it took most of the day to look around. After visiting Xiao Peng's residence, Todd obviously had something on his mind along the way, and he didn't say a word.

Dinner was made by Waleed's cook, who could not stay here for a few days a year, but his cook, gardener, nanny, housekeeper and others lived here all year round, which was called a luxury and waste. So Xiao Peng, when they had something to do, they borrowed his chef to cook.

The former cook was very dissatisfied with this and ran to protest to Waleed, saying that he was a high-level chef and that not everyone could enjoy his cooking------ so he rushed home.

It's not that the new chef is much better than his predecessor, but he certainly has a much better temper than his predecessor, what? Mr. Shaw? You asked me to prepare dinner for you? That's my pleasure! I will do everything I can to satisfy my guests! Aren't your guests Gauls? How about a thirteen-course French meal?

Xiao Peng thought about it, don't be so troublesome, just five dishes。。。。。。

The reason why this French meal is popular is not because of how delicious it tastes, but because eating French food is definitely a magic weapon!

The traditional French menu consists of thirteen dishes, each of which is small and looks very exquisite.

Appetizers, soups, side dishes, fish, main courses, hot cuts, cold cuts, sorbets, barbecues and salads, vegetables, desserts, savoury desserts, desserts, and a French meal for hours. In the end, I don't know if I'm full of food or talk.

Nowadays, with the accelerated pace of life, many restaurants have simplified their menus to three to five courses, and direct appetizers, soups, hot starters, main courses, and desserts, which are much easier and easier to eat.

Waleed's chefs are also very good at cooking, with a creamy lettuce salad as an appetizer, Bayonne ham with pan-fried foie gras as a hot starter, a creamy thickened mushroom and shrimp soup, a main course with mustard veal head in sauce, and a madeleine cake with an elegant shell texture。。。。。。

Xiao Peng really didn't think it was delicious, but if Todd and Armand gave a straight thumbs up to eat it, it should be delicious, right?

Let Todd take a sip of the noble rot wine that accompanies the meal: "Mr. Xiao, you are really a person who can enjoy life." ”

Xiao Peng shrugged: "Otherwise, isn't life just about eating and drinking? Whether you are poor or rich, don't be too yourself." I don't think I'm the scrooge the most. ”

Jean Todd asked, "Mr. Xiao, since you don't want to be a miser, why don't you invest in an F1 team?" I swear to God, your car park is the best car park I have ever seen, and you have enough financial resources, according to my observations, it is really too easy for you to invest in an F1 team. And you're a great driver yourself, and you love racing, so why don't you challenge yourself at the highest level of racing? You really need an F1 team in Huaxia, and now that Huaxia has developed to this day, there is no F1 team in such a powerful country, don't you feel sorry?"

Xiao Peng smiled: "You're right, now it's not difficult for Huaxia to develop F1, well, I admit that our country's engine is not good enough, but we can purchase McLaren or Mercedes-Benz engines, an F1 does not have to be all domestic, many small teams, what Indian power and other teams, a lot of parts are purchased." I also admit that the development of F1 is indeed helpful to the Chinese automobile industry, if you want to achieve something in the automotive industry, it is necessary to surpass other countries in some new technologies in the future, and F1 can indeed meet this demand. But...... Let Mr. Todd, I'm not involved in the auto industry, it's my business?"

Todd's expression froze when he heard this. That's right, Xiao Peng is just a local tyrant, he opened a racing track, let him build an F1 team, the funds are no problem, the interest is no problem, but 。。。。。。

There's no reason why he has to do F1!
