Chapter 773: I'm going to be a great driver!
In the pit area, looking at the car with the left front side seriously damaged and the wheel hub had been detached from the front axle, Li Fanyu was speechless for a while. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
What are you afraid of, it's true.
Chen Chen's face was almost overcast, and his fists were clenched as he watched the mechanics repair quickly.
"How long will it take?" Li Fanyu came to Wang Rui's side and asked,
"It's hard to say, the front kit, the steering knuckle, the left front axle, the power recovery system all need to be repaired. ”
At this moment, the evaluators of the racing team and several reporters came to the pit lane of the Zhengxin team.
"Gentlemen, I'll take a look at the state of loss in car No. 17. ”
Han Yue held the helmet in her hand and made a gesture of invitation to him.
"OMG, it's quite serious. Gentlemen, there are still six hours left in the game, may God bless you. By the way, while this may be a bit frustrating to say at this juncture, at Le Mans, sometimes it's not a coward to quit and give up. Your car is so badly damaged that it would be irresponsible for the lives of the drivers to rush to repair and re-enter the field. So...... Gentlemen, if you need to retire, please feel free to let me know. ”
"No! We won't retire! When the car is repaired, I'll make up for the lost time on the track!" Chen Chen erupted when he heard the evaluator's advice.
He clenched his fists, tears rolling in his eyes. It is clear that the accident of the car in his hands has caused a considerable burden on the child, who is only sixteen years old.
Li Fanyu walked over, patted him on the shoulder, turned to the assessor and said, "Thank you for your advice, sir."
But as our drivers said, we're not going to retire. We will persevere until the last second and use all our efforts to achieve the best results we can.
We can accept failure, but we won't accept giving up!"
This sentence is not Li Fanyu's original. It is a famous quote from Jordan, the god of basketball. But when it came out of Li Fanyu's mouth at this time, it was particularly heartbreaking.
The reporters who came with the evaluators raised their cameras one after another, and they kept taking pictures.
The evaluator also made a gesture of appreciation, "Okay, I see what you mean, sir." ”
He nodded, and stopped talking. Instead, he stayed in the Zhengxin maintenance area and observed the maintenance progress of the No. 17 car.
Although the technical level of the drivers of Zhengxin varies greatly, it has to be said that the level of the mechanics is still very high.
Originally, these mechanics were involved in the development of Jinya R. It is no exaggeration to say that among all the teams participating in this Le Mans, the team of mechanics of Zhengxin knows their own team's cars best.
But there was no way, the damage to the vehicle was too severe.
The front left side of the car was almost all smashed, and the lights, aero kit, front axle, steering knuckle, pylons, including the power recuperation system were all damaged. Although Chen Chen's speed was not fast at the time of the incident, it was also relatively speaking.
Rushing out of the track at a speed of more than 200 per hour, it can be controlled to this extent, it can be seen that Chen Chen has tried his best.
Although the mechanics moved quickly, the time passed quickly in the anxious waiting.
Li Fanyu looked at Chen Chen beside him.
Chen Chen hung his head and didn't speak, his fists clenched hard, and even made his whole body tremble.
He shook his head helplessly, "Xiao Chen." ”
"Hmm. ”
"I saw the track situation at the time. There is no need to blame myself too much, even if I am put in the car in this accident, I will not be safe and sound. ”
"But, but I ......" Chen Chen looked up, tears already flowing.
"Nothing. From the start of the race to the present, how many cars have had accidents?" Li Fanyu threw out a question.
"Twelve......twelve!"
"That's right, twelve. Among them, there are three in the LMP1 group. Can you say that there is a problem with the skill of those riders? No. To be able to drive a race car and race on such a track without ego and self is in itself to complete transcendence.
The track is brutal and it's not unusual for anything to go wrong. All we can do is fight ourselves and the track. Now, it's time for the test. It's just that you didn't cause this test, understand?"
Chen Chen chewed his words for a moment, and then raised his head, "Hmm!"
"There are six hours left in the race and I have two hours left to drive. I don't care what you think, but we're a team. You can't win by relying on one person alone. Do you understand?"
"Hmm!" Chen Chen nodded heavily.
"That's good. After a while the repair is completed, you go on. Two hours of time, to you. ”
"Big brother, I'm ......" Chen Chen hesitated a little, it was obvious that the accident just now had caused him a certain psychological obstacle.
Seeing his expression, Li Fanyu grinned: "Are you afraid?"
Chen Chen didn't speak.
"The first time I met you, you could go out of your way to win a race and break your ribs in a corner. What were you thinking about at that time?"
Chen Chen's eyes were a little dim: "I...... At that point, I only had one last chance left, and if I won, I could stick to my racing dreams. Lost...... I don't have anything. But at that time, it was just me and had nothing to do with anyone else. Not now...... Now ......"
"It's the same now. If your dream is to be a great driver, not a driver. I know that you don't have the same illustrious family as other drivers, and you don't have the same level of training that other drivers have since childhood, so every race is a backdrop for you. If you win, you can go further, and you can chase higher events in the future. If you lose, what will your future be? Maybe it's a 9-to-5 white-collar worker in a company? Maybe it's a roadside fruit stall vendor?"
These words were very cruel to Chen Chen.
Li Fanyu patted him on the shoulder, turned around and walked to the side of the car.
Chen Chen's fists clenched even tighter.
It took more than 40 minutes for the car to finally be repaired and commissioned.
Seeing the mechanic loading the aerodynamic kit, Li Fanyu looked back at Chen Chen.
"Li Dong...... If it doesn't work, don't let Xiao Chen go up. Myself...... It can also top up to four hours. ”
Han Yue saw that Chen Chen didn't move, hesitated, and said.
"He's only sixteen years old, and he has so much to face in the future. This hurdle must be overcome by himself, otherwise the person will be wasted. Li Fanyu deliberately said loudly.
Jian Chen Chen still didn't move, he shook his head: "One minute, Chen Chen, you have one minute to decide whether you want to be a driver who can only mix in small events, or a great driver." I don't force you, you think for yourself. ”
It didn't take a minute, Chen Chen was already thinking too much. He looked up;
"Big brother, I'll go!"
With these words, he moved. He quickly put his helmet on his head and got into the car.
As the new trumpeter gave the starting order, Chen Chen raised his thumb vigorously and shook it at Li Fanyu!
Then, rushed out of the pits!
At this point, after more than an hour of dehydration, the track was completely dry.
Chen Chen's eyes were blazing, looking at the open track in front of him, and he stepped on the accelerator fiercely.
"Great driver, I'm going to be a great driver!"
At a moment, if anyone saw his eyes, they would definitely be shocked by that strange brilliance!
