The outside world does not know that Zhengxin is working on the development of a new model, but Zhengxin's participation in the Dakar Rally has already been revealed by the event organizers.

It is no exaggeration to say that the Kadar Rally is the most attractive car rally in the world, and every Dakar in the past ten years has attracted 500 million viewers around the world.

But this year is a little different.

The previous drought in Africa has caused disputes between countries to escalate. Such friction and conflict seriously affected the safety of the race schedule. Coupled with the fact that the Dakar is hosted by France, which has recently received the influence of African KBISM, this year's Dakar has abandoned the African land that has hosted the event for many years and turned to South America.

The change of the venue made the event very worried. They are worried that this helpless move will affect the attractiveness of Dakar to people. So a few months before the start of this year's competition, the tournament team began to promote it on a large scale and create buzz around the world without interruption.

For example, the previous TSL sponsorship VC-Deep team will drive the world's first pure electric off-road vehicle to participate in the Dakar, and the racing team spared no effort to promote this event.

And the reason for such publicity is that the RP is a pure electric model participating in the race, adding a fresh element to the Dakar, a time-honored traditional event. On the other hand, it is also the event team that wants to use this topic to increase the attractiveness of the competition.

This attraction includes both the driver and the spectator. And if you want to say why you have to go to such great lengths to do publicity, then there is only one reason - money,

The Dakar has a low threshold, and a large number of amateur drivers and even racing enthusiasts, knowing that you have money, can come and intervene.

Excluding the income from advertising and broadcasting rights and other revenues, the entry fee for Dakar alone is more than 10,000 euros, and the entry fee for the truck group is even more than 20,000 euros. Cars that meet the requirements of the Dakar race must be modified with at least a production car worth more than 600,000 yuan, and a support team will also need to be found to provide various services during the competition.

Just the registration fee and the expenses incurred by the support team in the competition, the event party will charge tens of millions of euros. Such a profitable business is naturally to be speculated;

"Battle of the old enemy: Zhengxin VSTSL! Kadar Racing officially confirmed today that Zhengxin will participate in this Dakar Rally, and the participating models have not yet been confirmed, but according to people familiar with the matter, Zhengxin, who is currently working in the field of electric vehicles, may be affected by the TSL pure electric off-road model RP, and participate in the competition with pure electric off-road models!

Shoshin's international fame is now well-known, and the fact that the topic of the Fukushima power leak has not yet dissipated is a good hype element in itself. Coupled with the competition with TSL, Zhengxin's participation in the Dakar is naturally a big hype.

As a result, the car here has not yet been developed, and it has already been hyped over there.

Netizens showed considerable enthusiasm for Zhengxin's expedition to Dakar;

"It's finally time for such a day! Zhengxin Le Mans won the championship, RC won good results, and seeing that this year's Formula E championship is also in the bag, and now it is finally extending its tentacles to Dhaka!"

"Hey, I like it when I'm so strong. It seems that it is completely with TSL, and FE has gone to Dakar again after the abuse!"

"A bunch of whites, you know a ball. Let me tell you the real reason for the competition, TSL's main battery supplier is Panasonic, which is basically known to everyone. But Panasonic Electronics picked up a car battery production base next to Tiancheng, haven't you heard? This is a deliberate attempt to fight with Zhengxin, so Zhengxin participated in the Dakar this time to prove that his battery technology is unique in the world. On the surface, Zhengxin's opponent is TSL, but in fact, this time Zhengxin is running for Song!"

"Hey, when I said this upstairs, why did I still smell some bloody smell of the rivers and lakes?"

"There is nothing wrong with it, it is said that it is not the car companies themselves that can affect the future pattern of the automotive industry, but a first-class retail distribution enterprise like Panasonic. This time, the letter went upstream, and it was okay to fight with Panasonic. ”

"Compared with the twists and turns that you pay attention to, I am more interested in what Zhengxin's new models look like, according to Zhengxin's previous urine, the models participating in the competition will be directly thrown to the high-performance R&D department for production, all of which are cool. As far as this crane knows, the high-performance R&D department has not produced off-road models so far. X-car's first off-road vehicle, it's exciting to think about it!"

"LSSB, just follow what you can afford yes、"

“……”

In the midst of all the disturbances, the research and development progress of Zhengxin X-CAR Juque is progressing day by day.

Because Wang Rui's team already has a reliable power solution, Li Fanyu let it go and pondered the matter of participating in the competition.

Competing at a level like the Dakar, there is too much maintenance required, so there is too much to bring. Considering the change of schedule and traffic conditions, Li Fanyu is ready to come directly to save trouble.

He was going to buy a plane.

Not to mention the needs of the event, I run back and forth at home and abroad frequently, I don't have a guy of my own, and it's troublesome to always buy plane tickets.

Buying a plane is different from buying a car, and it's a hassle. In addition to directly communicating with the manufacturer about things such as price, delivery date and after-sales maintenance, it is also necessary to submit an application for purchase to the Civil Aviation Administration of China, and then go through the messy procedures of air traffic management.

When he came to Li Fanyu, he naturally didn't have to be so troublesome, he directly dragged the relationship and purchased it through Hainan Airlines, which saved a lot of time and energy.

But what gave him a headache was his daughter.

"My aunt, you don't know where Dakar is, it's almost every year that people die. Besides, do you know that there is no specific route in such a long-distance rally, and the drivers are only responsible for driving during the race, and the information of the race stage depends on the feedback of the navigator, which is almost as important as the eyes, and you say that you have never done this, and if you mess up, what will I do?

Li Fanyu reprimanded angrily.

"I don't care, I must be your navigator!"

During the call, celluloid lost her temper.
