Of course, the Grandmaster didn't know what others were thinking at this time, and he didn't want to know about it, he was busy greeting those old-timers in the racing world right now.

It's really rare to see so many world champions without coming here, and the Grandmaster even met a champion here who can be called a "living fossil".

He is Mr. Claire from France.

Claire, 103 years old, won two consecutive French Le Mans endurance races in 1937 and 1938.

He was 21 years old when Mr. Claire won his first World Championship 82 years ago. Although the whole of Europe was under the shadow of World War II at that time, Claire won the French Le Mans endurance race for two consecutive years thanks to her close cooperation with two other teammates.

It was only in 1939 that Claire and his two teammates resolutely gave up the steering wheel, turned around and put on military uniforms, and the hands that once held the steering wheel also began to operate the gun latch!

In that brutal war, the two teammates who had won two world championships alongside Claire all fell under fire. Claire was an artilleryman and spent most of her time in the rear, so she was lucky enough to survive the war.

The 100-year-old now relies on a wheelchair to get around. This FIA's centennial celebration also invited this legendary old man, and the president of the FIA even personally accompanied the old man.

For this old man who is older than the FIA, Grandmaster and Fang Zhengying are also full of reverence. After meeting the old man before the game started, he has been by the old man's side.

Although this old man is now unable to move, his brain is still very good, and he speaks very neatly, telling the story of his time to the grandmaster and Fang Zhengying in English that is not very fluent.

Although they are all old-fashioned stories, the Grandmaster, Fang Zhengying, and a large circle of people around the old man all listen to them with relish. It is a rare experience to hear an elderly man over 100 years old tell about the events of World War II.

In addition to Claire, the Grandmaster also met Wu Yanbin, an octogenarian from Dahua, who appeared on the rostrum at the start of the Vladivostok-Cape Town Rally the year before.

The veteran car king won a total of 13 Vladivostok - the overall championship of the Cape Town Rally, a record that has not been broken to this day, and the title of "King of Rally" is absolutely well-deserved for him.

The clock is fast approaching nine o'clock, and the highlight of the FIA's centenary is the showdown between the previous Formula 1 champions and the previous Vladivostok-Cape Town Rally winners.

Although this matchup is in the nature of an exhibition match, all the people who can be invited to participate in this competition are absolute world champion-level figures. In the minds of these people, how can they ever convince others?

Therefore, this game has not even started, and it is actually full of gunpowder.

The exhibition match is divided into two games, the first is the competition of the over-400 group, and the finale is the competition of the under-400 group.

Motorsports is a very physically demanding sport, don't think that the driver is not physically demanding just because he sits in the car and controls the car race, on the contrary, the physical fitness of the racing driver, especially the top racing driver, is excellent.

Take F1 as an example, when a F1 car is cornering at high speed, the driver's body can even withstand an overload of up to 5 G, and a driver who is not physically fit can even immediately fall into a coma when faced with such a huge overload. And if you don't have enough muscle in your neck, such a big overload might even break your neck......

And the Vladivostok-Cape Town Rally is no less demanding on the drivers. The race lasted for more than a month, covered 30,000 kilometers, and you couldn't complete the race without a great physique.

It is precisely because motorsport is extremely physically demanding that most of the male drivers' physical fitness begins to decline after the age of 35, and after 40, it is difficult to gallop on the field. In addition, the drivers invited to this race are all previous champions, and many of them are drivers who won championships in the seventies and eighties of the last century.

These drivers are now in their sixties and seventies or older, and it's a joke for you to put these old men in the same race as some young drivers in their twenties and thirties.

That's why the FIA divided the show into two age groups. Champions under the age of 40 compete in a group. As for the champions over the age of 40, there is no mandatory requirement to register for the competition according to their own situation.

Despite being exhibition matches, these two races are definitely the best fights of all time.

With all the competitors of the year champions, what could be better than today's two events?

And the most eye-catching thing is not only the champions who have made fans cheer over the years, but also the cars that have participated.

The players who were able to participate in these two races today have won each of the two major FIA motor races, so these people are not short of money, especially those F1 champions of the year, and each one of them has a net worth of at least tens of millions of euros.

The overall winner of the Vladivostok-Cape Town Rally may not be as rich as the F1 champion, but let's not forget that the people who can win the Vladivostok-Cape Town Rally are basically the professional drivers of the major professional teams, and behind them stand the more terrifying teams.

So every one of the contestants who competed today came in a famous supercar.

Today's two races are all cars according to the regulations, and F1 cars naturally do not belong to the category of cars, so F1 cars cannot participate in today's races.

Although the supercar is called a supercar, it also belongs to the category of sedans, so the cars used in today's two games are all supercars with extremely terrifying speeds.

More than 50 people took part in the competition today, including 36 in the Over-40 category, all of whom are retired world champions. In the under-40 category, there are 21 people, the vast majority of whom are world champions who have not yet retired.

So, there are a total of 57 supercars coming to the starting site today.

These supercars are often supercars that cost millions of Chinese yuan, and some supercars cost as much as tens of millions of Chinese yuan, and there are absolutely luxury cars.

For example, this guy from Chai Ying drove a Real Madrid New Century Limited Edition supercar worth 36.88 million yuan.

It is the most expensive production car of all the vehicles produced by Real Madrid, and it is also one of the top 10 supercars in the world in terms of vehicle prices.

Not only is this car expensive, but it is also quite powerful, and when it was first launched, it was called the fastest supercar. Although the car is now behind the new supercars developed later, it is still one of the fastest supercars in the world.

Of course, Chai Ying's car is not his own, although he has won four F1 annual championships, but his financial resources are reluctant to buy such a valuable car. This car belongs to His Royal Highness King Yi, when Chai Ying drove F1, His Royal Highness King Yi liked him very much, and the relationship between the two was also very good, so this time I heard that Chai Ying was going to come to Switzerland to participate in the FIA Centennial Car Competition, His Royal Highness King Yi did not hesitate to lend his car to Chai Ying......
