Chapter 579: Lexus F1 Team
Hearing Shuichi Minamino's words, Mitsui Ghost Te laughed, and he wanted to laugh presumptuously. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info His current father is the new helmsman of the Mitsui Foundation, what luxury things has he not played all these years?
"You say, whatever you dare to play, I will play with you! I'm afraid you won't be able to afford it then. Mitsui sneered.
"No, just play a team, do you dare?" Minamino Shuichi.
"Fleet? If you don't dare, I have five or six sports cars of my own, and I can build a team myself. You, on the other hand, may have to buy a few more sports cars first. Mitsui smirked.
"Haha......" Mitsubishi Kotaro next to him also laughed.
"What's the point of playing this amateur team! If you want to play, play the F1 team, do you dare? Shuichi Minamino said disdainfully.
"Nani, F1 team?" At this time, it was Mitsui's turn to be stunned.
The F1 team corresponds to the F1 car, the full name of the F1 car: the World Formula One Championship. It is the most expensive, fastest and most high-tech sport in the world, and it is the sports event with the highest commercial value, the most charm and the most attractive to watch. Because of its wide range of influence and high popularity, it is known as the "three major sports in the world" with the World Cup football tournament and the Olympic Games.
Formula 1 was launched in 1950, and although it is only nine years old, its popularity has already swept the world.
It's definitely a race of speed and excitement!
In later generations, it would cost hundreds of millions of dollars a year to maintain an F1 team. Of course, there is not so much money needed at the moment, and it is estimated that one or two million dollars is about the same.
Everything in F1 is a team that is attended by the car giants.
Almost all of them are fleets formed by car giants of sports car brands.
Even the Toyota Motor Company of the year formed a team to participate in it a long, long time later, and this thing was completely a money-burning industry.
At that time, Toyota F1 was a team of Formula 1 vehicles based in Cologne, Germany, using the manufacturer Toyota. Toyota has been planning to compete in Formula 1 since 1999.
In other words, companies like Toyota only joined Formula 1 in 1999.
There are many reasons for this, first of all, Toyota didn't have a sports car brand car back then, and there was no use for it, but now Shuichi Minamino is different, he develops Lexus high-end cars, and also develops Lexus sports cars!
In this case, forming a team to enter the F1 race is the best promotion for Lexus sports cars, and at the same time, you can learn automotive technology on the sports bodies of major brands to improve your sports car, and at the same time continue to improve in the face of competition.
This is the ultimate goal of Shuichi Minamino.
This year, he received 100 million dividends from the Arras gas field, in addition to buying land and other expenses, and now he has 90 million US dollars left! He felt like he could play this extravagant racing event in advance!
"F1 teams? You're not bragging, are you? Did you know that it would take millions of dollars to assemble a state-of-the-art F1 team? Besides, you can get a place in the F1 team first. Kotaro Mitsubishi said disdainfully.
This thing doesn't have money to build a team, you also need to buy a team slot!
"I don't need you to worry if I can afford to play, I'll ask you if you dare to bet? My team will be in Formula 1 next year, I wonder if you dare to get a team to appear in Formula 1 next year? Do you dare? How about betting $10 million? Nanno said with a smile.
Shuichi Minamino's words made Mitsui Ghost and Mitsubishi Kotaro shut up instantly!
Although they are the children of a consortium family, their pocket money is also limited. Hundreds of thousands of dollars a year are already very much in love with you. Can they afford to play F1 teams? Think too much!
"Don't you dare to bet? Don't dare to bet that it's a grandson. Minamino smiled happily.
Shuichi Minamino's words made the two goods blush.
"You, you're the grandson! Yes, what is there not to dare. Mitsui said stiffly.
"Oh, how dare you say that? Do you dare to write a gambling contract and sign a bet? Shuichi Minamino stood up and looked directly at Mitsui's ghost hand. The latter didn't dare to look at Shuichi Minamino.
"Hmph, you're just intimidating us, you can't afford to play at all!" Mitsubishi Kotaro said hard-mouthed.
"Then let's sign and draw!"
In the end, the two goods still admitted it, found an excuse, and ran away in disgrace.
Seeing this, after the two of them ran away, he ordered a Ferrari and left here. At the same time, he also became a member of this club instantly.
The next day he was ready to send someone to start building an F1 team.
Of all the races ever held in F1 (1950 to 2010), the most held were held in Europe, followed by North America, and the least in Oceania with only 11 times. There are 16 to 17 races scheduled each year (20 in the 2012 season), usually starting in mid-March and ending at the end of October. According to the F1 charter, the necessary conditions for the establishment of a fleet are to have a self-developed chassis, engine assembly, aerodynamic kits, etc., which can be used by other teams or manufacturers. For example, the Sauber engine is supplied by Ferrari, and the same engine is used by Scuderia Ferrari.
Anyway, F1 is the best in the world, not to mention the proposed team, it is not so easy to be a racing driver, if you want to become a racing driver, you first need a driver's license!
Just like driving on the road in general, F1 also requires a driver's license. It is a FIA (FIA Super Licence' – a FIASuperLicence – which is only issued to drivers who have performed well in the F3000, F3 or CART series. It usually takes eight years for a driver to progress from karting to Formula 1, but in reality only a handful of them have the ability and opportunity to reach the top of the racing pyramid.
That's why Formula 1 is the world's premier racing event!
In later generations, it is often the case that a country can be proud to have an F1 driver.
Its gold content is definitely an honor.
And now, Shuichi Minamino is planning to form such a team, which is not only because he loves to play and burn money, but in fact, it is closely related to his Lexus luxury sports car plan of Minamino Motor. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been brain-dead to play this money-burning team.
In his office, Shuichi Minamino holds a document that contains information about all the teams in the current F1 race.
"The top F1 team - Cooper Racing!"
"Lotus Racing, the top team in F1!"
"Scuderia Ferrari, the top team in Formula 1!"
"Formula 1 team - BRM team!"
"Formula 1 team - Maserati team!"
"Formula 1 team - Porsche team!"
“……”
After looking at it, he plans to buy a low-ranking team, after all, the top-ranked team is estimated that no one will sell it, and even if it is sold, it is estimated that it will be a super high price, so he will not do such a thing. He intends to make his team rise step by step.
"Well, the Teevis team, they have zero points in the past few years, and they have basically not won, it seems that I will buy you!" Shuichi Minamino eventually set his sights on a team that finished at the bottom.
An F1 team must not only have a good supercar, but also a good team, a good R&D team, and last but not least, the drivers.
These need to be managed slowly, and he will not think that he will be able to win the championship as soon as he forms this F1 team, anyway, there is a lot of time, and it will not be too late to make Lexus famous in a few years.
Now all he needs to do is develop slowly! Let's start with the acquisition of a team to compete in the race.
