"Buying so many things, will you do it?"

Li Fanyu didn't leave, and Zhou Qingyu had indescribable emotions in his heart. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info but looking at the two big bags of things this carrying, there is no shortage of pasta and high-quality cheese and other ingredients, I can't help but laugh.

"I won't do it, but where is this? This is France! Three-legged toads are hard to find, but two-legged cooks are! Hey, I just hired one at the restaurant down there, and he'll come over when it's time to eat." ”

Li Fanyu looked stunned.

Zhou whispered and rolled her eyes,

Who wouldn't look for a cook?

Well, dare to be in trouble!

took the things to the house, and Li Fanyu didn't see it, and sat directly on the sofa.

I saw the TV noisily showing the highlights of last year's 24 Hours of Le Mans, and said with a smile: "Yo, when did you like to watch this?"

Zhou whispered and picked up the TV remote control, "French TV channels are too boring, there is nothing to watch." It's just that I'm alone in the house and want to make a sound. ”

In fact, since watching the karting race between Li Fanyu and Alonso, Zhou Qingyu has fallen in love with the sport of racing.

"Hey, hey, don't change the channel!"

At this point, the highlights have finished playing, and they are switching to the anchor screen.

Although I couldn't understand French, in the display bar next to the anchor, a string of car brand logos was quickly swiping.

"What did the host say?" Li Fanyu asked, pointing to the TV.

Zhou whispered for a while, and then translated it for him: "Because of the painful lesson of the LP1 group No. 2 car accident last year, Mercedes-Benz announced its withdrawal from Le Mans 24 hours, and will shift the focus of endurance racing from WEC to FormalaE Formula E in the future."

So far, in the last two days before the registration deadline for the 24 Hours of Le Mans, only five manufacturers have officially announced their participation in the LP1 group competition: Europa League, Toyota, Nissan, Peugeot, and Renault.

This year's LMP1 group may become the most shrinking class in 80 years.

Given the strength of the Europa League 5, 6 and 7 groups in last year's competition, it is likely that they will defend their title at Le Mans in two weeks' time, becoming the king of Le Mans for the fourth year in a row.

However, it is gratifying to note that the Hennessy Tuning Factory has officially announced that it will participate in the GTE-Pro class. The addition of another strong contender for the championship in the Pro category will undoubtedly make this year's competition even more enjoyable. ”

WTF？

With Zhou Qingyu's translation, Li Fanyu was directly confused;

Because he has been busy developing the market of Zhengxin, he has not paid too much attention to the racing events in this time and space.

But it's 24 hours of Le Mans!

In the time and space before the course of automobile history changed, he had always watched it before.

may be preconceived, he always feels that a brand like the Europa League, which did not exist in the previous time and space, can win the 24 hours of Le Mans for four consecutive times, which is really an incredible thing.

Li Fanyu is unbalanced.

Paralysis!

The real king of Le Mans is now under the banner of the master!

And...... Registration is still over in a day or two, and what the hell is the start of the race in two weeks?

Isn't the normal Le Mans part of the WEC Endurance Championship, which takes place every June as scheduled?

It's only been less than May!

Could it be that ....... change in the course of automotive history has also changed the prestigious and notoriously brutal race?

It must be so!

"Hey, what are you thinking?'s eyes are straight?" Zhou Qingyu watched him watch TV fixedly and didn't speak, so he patted him on the shoulder.

"Oh," Li Fanyu came back to his senses, "nothing. ”

Zhou whispered with a suspicious expression.

He withdrew his gaze from the TV, "By the way, you like to watch endurance races?"

Zhou was speechless for a while, didn't I tell you just now that I was looking at it casually!

"Hey, hey, hey, then you're blessed!" Li Fanyu ignored Zhou's helpless expression and said in a stinky voice.

Seeing that he was stunned, Zhou quietly tilted his head: "What's the matter?"

"Just now, little... The chairman of the board of directors has decided to participate in this year's 24 Hours of Le Mans!

Zhou was stunned for a moment, "You...... Didn't you just say you were going to be my assistant?"

Li Fanyu smiled, "Don't delay, don't delay,"

In Zhou's whispering shake, he looked at the Europa League president Karnal who was talking on TV, and smiled slightly.

hehe

I haven't forgotten the last time I used that Rausch lamp factory to throw mud on Zhengxin!

Defending?

Hmph, it's not that easy!

……

The 24 Hours of Le Mans is called Le Mans because it is a unique race that takes place in Le Mans, France.

Where is this little town?

Southwest of Paris, less than 200 km!

After lunch, Li Fanyu drove directly and took Zhou Qingyu to Le Mans.

Because he doesn't know French, Zhou Qingyu actually went to act as a translator. In this way, what was supposed to be good things was reversed - Zhou Qingyu became his assistant.

Thinking that the course of automobile history has changed, many of the rules of Le Mans have been different from what Li Fanyu is familiar with. So for the sake of insurance, he decided to go in person and settle the registration.

Although the decision to participate in Le Mans was only a decision made on a whim of him. But it is undeniable that participating in such an automobile endurance race, which has a fairly high status in the world, will undoubtedly add luster to Zhengxin - whether it is a result or not.

Because in China, no car manufacturer has been able to enter the world's most well-known and deadly car endurance race!

The most well-known and well understood, the 24 Hours of Le Mans, along with Formula 1 and the World Rally Championship, became one of the world's top three motor racing events. Since it was first held in 1923, it has not stopped except for the years before and after World War II, when the major car manufacturers served the national war machine.

Since 80 years, more than 100 riders from more than 30 countries have participated in almost every year. Strong inclusivity, making it the focus of a lot of attention in the racing world.

So why is it the deadliest?

Because of the format of Le Mans!

Like many races, the 24 Hours of Le Mans is grouped. According to the different standards of the participating vehicles, they are divided into four groups: LMP1.2 and LMG1.2.

The LMP1 class is a race that represents the technical apex of endurance prototypes, and is divided into hybrid and conventional power groups. The vehicle is required to be fully developed and the cockpit is mandatory.

The LMP2 group is a group for private fleets that requires the chassis and power to use products from suppliers, such as engines from Honda and Nissan, chassis from Dallara, etc. Officials prohibit vehicles in this group from having a more obvious performance advantage, and introduce performance restrictions such as counterweight penalty time, so the competition in the P2 group is very fierce.

LMG is divided into two groups: GTE-Pro (professional) and GTE-Am (amateur), the professional group is generally the stage of the major tuning factories, and the amateur group has a broader requirement for the car, but because of the characteristics of the event, the requirements for the driver are very high.

So here's the problem.

How can this be said to be the deadliest?

When we say regular sporting events, like boxing, and lightweight heavyweights, they have to be played separately.

Or shooting, pistols and air rifles certainly don't go together.

But the 24 Hours of Le Mans is not.

The two groups of LMP and the two groups of LMG are all played at the same time and on the same track!

At the time of the race, whether it is the major manufacturers' teams or private amateur groups, whether fast or slow, all the cars will run for 24 hours on the 13-kilometer track at Le Mans, like cooking dumplings!

Please note that it is a twenty-four hour continuous race!

Three drivers in a group alternate and each driver cannot drive for more than four consecutive hours, and the main driver cannot drive for more than fourteen hours. All the time for refueling and maintenance at the pit stop is counted within these 24 hours.

At the end of the twenty-four hours, the group with the most kilometers traveled wins.

In this process, the stability of the car and the test of the driver's will are self-evident!

And the danger and cruelty are far greater than any car races!

Where can the danger be?

For example;

In 1955 at Le Mans, there was a three-car crash. A racing car rushed out of the guardrail with a fire at a speed of 265KM per hour, and swept through thousands of troops directly in the viewing area.

The driver died on the spot, and 83 spectators died!

So why say cruel?

If there is such a big accident, usually the game is over.

But how did the Le Mans side deal with the accident?

Organize relevant personnel to transport the dead and wounded away and clean up the garbage. Keep racing on the bloodstains that haven't been dried up on the track!

To say that cruelty is light, this can be called cruelty!
