Participating in the Le Mans endurance race made the whole Zhengxin a little restless. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Although Zhengxin has developed rapidly in the past two years, it is still a thing that Zhengxin people dare not think of to participate in top events such as Le Mans and compete with other old automobile companies.

After the news of Li Fanyu's decision to participate in the competition was released, the public relations department of Zhengxin Group immediately launched a round of brand marketing for Zhengxin Audi based on this big news. In particular, Zhengxin Audi's newly established sports R series, and this time participated in Le Mans, the latest product of the R series for the honor, Jinya, has become the main publicity point.

On Zhengxin's official website, the public relations department also did an interaction, initiating fans and netizens to cheer for Zhengxin.

But what is embarrassing is that in the questionnaire of this interactive session, when asked "what do you think the results of the Audi R Jinya will achieve this time at Le Mans".

Sixty-five percent of netizens chose the third item - "Have the courage to take the first step and leave the figure of a Chinese car company on the Le Mans circuit, the ranking does not matter." ”

And the first "Zhengxin will rely on deep technical reserves and vehicle stability to win the LMP1 group championship". Only a pitiful six percent of netizens chose this option......

Well, it turns out that most of the netizens still think that Zhengxin is going to lose!

When Wang Rui and others talked to Li Fanyu about this, Li Fanyu felt very angry.

Damn, why do you think I can't win?

Isn't it just that the race cars are not ready yet?!Isn't it just that the three drivers don't look very reliable?!Isn't it just that the team's qualifications are not good?!

What other flaws?

No, I don't have it!

Well, there's no advantage to removing that.

Li Fanyu was a little depressed.

Seeing Wang Rui and the others gloating, Li Fanyu kicked over with a big foot, "Hurry up and work!"

While a group of people were grinning and grinning about adding the aerodynamic kit to the Le Mans prototype, he stepped aside and thought about strategy and tactics.

Although he did not lead the team throughout the whole process, this model was determined very early, and Wang Rui's team spent a lot of time and energy to do it. During this period, he himself also contributed a lot.

So the performance and stability of this car, he is not worried at all.

The main driver side is a big problem in front of him. Han Yue and Chen Chen's level is okay, but they have not experienced the baptism of the competition, and their experience is lacking.

This is now in his opinion, the team's biggest shortcoming. Like other maintenance, refueling, etc., relying on the mechanics of Zhengxin, although they cannot reach a particularly professional level, they should not be much different from other LMP1 teams.

And in the past two days, he has been training mechanics to do quick repairs, tire changes and refueling projects.

So now if you want to have a race, you still have to work on the drivers. After some thought, he decided to take the safer and only option he could.

……

When Cheng Ke took Han Yue and Chen Chen to Paris, Li Fanyu immediately familiarized the two with the performance of the vehicle, and launched an emergency make-up class, choosing some of the driving skills he inherited from Alonso, and teaching them to be put into use immediately and play a role immediately.

Driving skills are useless just by teaching them verbally. In order to let the two of them improve in the shortest possible time, Li Fanyu took the opportunity to test the performance of the Jinya R track, so that the two of them could integrate the skills they had learned while familiarizing themselves with the performance of the vehicle.

In this way, in the midst of the hustle and bustle, more than a week will pass immediately.

On 2 May, the opening ceremony of the 24 Hours of Le Mans took place.

This year's Le Mans, obviously, is just as the media said before - a shrinking one.

Last year, a total of 29 teams and 54 cars participated in the competition, and the number of spectators reached a terrifying 260,000!

But this year, not only has the number of participating teams dropped to 20, but the number of participating vehicles has shrunk to 38. Even the number of spectators that have always been a source of pride for Le Mans and other international endurance races has plummeted to 190,000.

That's it, not counting the Zhengxin Li Fanyu and Jinya R participating in the competition, attracting a part of the Chinese audience!

But it is precisely because of this that in order to recover the declining popularity of the endurance race, Le Mans held this opening ceremony in an unprecedented grandeur.

Including Vin Diesel, Dwayne Johnson, Gotta Statham and many other Hollywood stars. Sophie Marceau, Jean Renault, Zinedine Zidane, Karim Benzema and other French stars competed to appear at the opening ceremony. Outside of the game, it has pulled a wave of popularity for Le Mans.

In order to take into account the Chinese audience, Zhou Qingyu, who was filming in Paris, also received an invitation.

When attending the opening ceremony, I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, this supermodel, who is well-known in both France and China, wore a dress that perfectly matched the black and red livery of the Zhengxin team. used the figure and appearance of all the actresses at the opening ceremony to pull a small wave of attention for Zhengxin.

But it's only a small wave.

Zhengxin is doing well in the Chinese market, but when it goes abroad, its popularity is still not very high. What's more, when the participating teams were introduced, Zhengxin's information showed that this was a new car factory that had only been established for two years.

The manifestation of the least attention is ignorance.

Therefore, among the audience, except for some black-haired and yellow-skinned Chinese, basically no one went to receive the small flag printed with the logo of the Zhengxin convoy.

It was in this state of almost negligible attention that the opening ceremony ended and the qualifying round began.

According to the plan set by Li Fanyu, at the beginning of the race, it was necessary to drive Han Yue, who had a calm style. Keep a score that is at least not bad in the steady, and then change yourself an hour later.

Therefore, the priority of the rolling starting grid is quite important for the Zhengxin team. In order to compete for a better starting position, Li Fanyu had to play in person.

It can be said that nearly 40 cars are aiming for the starting position!

The advantage of starting first is quite significant for a car race.

This feels like a young man with similar conditions, pursuing a beautiful girl together. Whoever gets to the girl's WeChat first is undoubtedly one step closer to hugging the beauty.

There is nothing to say, in the past two days, Li Fanyu has run no less than 50 laps of the thirteen-kilometer track at Le Mans. The terrain and track conditions are well understood.

After the start of qualifying, he won the first round of the grid with a sharp operation and an absolute lead.

By the way, it also broke the 10th lap time of 3 minutes and 21 seconds set by Ario Obaldi in 1992!

This time, it directly detonated the atmosphere!
