When he met someone who had a common hobby and could be an idol, Zhou Hang said more, saying that he had some experience of contacting cars, his family was a car repair factory, and he was exposed to these machinery since he was a child, and he was able to drive a car in the yard of the car repair factory at the age of fourteen or fifteen, and then he was out of control and became obsessed with the car.

An Feng learned that Zhou Hang stopped studying after graduating from high school and joined a small team, but he couldn't really go to the field, and he knew Shangxiong later, and it happened that there were drivers in the team who were injured, and Zhou Hang had talent, and he became the main force after coming and going, preparing to face the regional short race.

The path that Zhou Hang chose to take is opposed by most parents in China, who think that it is absurd and unprofessional, and I am afraid that the only way to go to a good university is to study. However, Zhou Hang's family is open-minded...... After a few beatings didn't work, he couldn't read and let him go racing.

An Feng knows that the domestic racing environment is not very good, there are few spectators, there are few venues, and there is a lack of professionalism, and talented people like Zhou Hang in China also value luck in addition to hard work, not that there are no excellent drivers, but their talents are often buried by the environment.

An Feng asked him, "What do you think you lack the most?" ”

Zhou Hang thought for a moment and replied, "Practice the field and parts of the car." We usually don't have many opportunities to practice in the regular racing track, and the spare parts of the car are not enough, so we can only be careful to consume it, and we can't let it be scrapped in advance. ”

"Don't have more parts?" As soon as An Feng said it, he knew the reason, it must be a matter of money, who wouldn't go to the chartered track to train if he has money? Who wouldn't buy a large number of spare parts and let the racers fly casually without worrying about the lack of backup resources?

Zhou Hang shrugged: "We are a small team with limited sponsorship. Can't consume so much. ”

An Feng wanted to say something, but the car had been overhauled, Zhou Hang put on his helmet again, got on the car and set off, and everyone was also discussing things about the car in the pit. An Feng asked, "In addition to the sprint races, are you going to participate in other bigger races?" ”

"There's not enough time." Shang Xiong said. "We all come together because of our hobbies, but racing doesn't support us, and a lot of people have to go to work after racing. The team currently does not have the funds to participate in bigger events, and it is a pity that Zhou Hang's talent is present. ”

An Feng understands that this team is struggling to survive, and there are not many domestic institutions that are interested in them and will sponsor them, so he hopes for Zhou Hang to win a good ranking now. Attract sponsorship, or have the opportunity to be noticed by other teams and participate in more advanced events.

After Zhou Hang ran a few laps, they began to count, and Joanna looked at An Feng: "Do you want to go up and try it?" ”

"I'm not familiar with these." An Feng said that he rarely drives a small-displacement RV, and whether it is a gasoline car or an electric car at home, it is all high-power.

Shang Xiong said: "Racing cars can also be bypassed. How about showing us a hand? ”

"I'm afraid I'm not as good as these riders." An Feng said.

Shang Xiong smiled and said, "It's okay, let's also show everyone what the top drivers of electric racing are like driving cars." It was an eye-opener for us. ”

An Feng smiled...... In the end, it is better to be respectful than to obey fate.

He chose Zhou Hang's racing car and sat in it to familiarize himself with the operation. The seat is a bit out of place because it is adjusted to the rider's body, and An Feng is tall and strong, but it is not much of a problem to run a few laps. The steering wheel is simple. It is a three-spoke type with anti-slip treatment, the gear lever is very high, flush with the steering wheel, and the gear shift only needs to be shifted with the right hand to move over, and there is no need to frequently stretch down to touch the gear lever. Lift up again and touch the steering wheel.

After getting acquainted, other teams also vacated the track and gave An Feng a few laps up.

The first lap is the familiarization stage, the second lap is a little faster, the third lap is soaring, the fourth lap everyone runs to a high place to open the mobile phone video, the fifth lap is stunned, the sixth lap is completely convinced, there is nothing to say. The boundary between electric vehicles and gasoline vehicles is not large, and the main thing is whether the driver can adapt to the operation.

An Feng finished the sixth lap and returned to the pit stop to stop, and everyone gathered around.

Shang Xiong was amazed and said, "You have already broken the track record, and you are two seconds faster." ”

An Feng returned the helmet he took off to them, and said modestly: "Maybe the track is relatively simple, it's quite easy to run, but I'm not used to manual transmission." ”

The eyes of the surrounding crowd were as if they had seen a demon, full of incredulity.

"This is the top driver?" Some people asked themselves, and instantly felt that there was still a big gap between domestic drivers and international first-class.

The race track is a morning, everyone has a lot of questions about An Feng, but they are all modest advice, but unfortunately the car feeling is very important, An Feng doesn't know how to describe the integration of people and vehicles, the feeling of flowing water, but Zhou Hang seems to understand whether he understands or not, as if he understands something.

Considering Joanna's mood, An Feng did not continue to stay.

"Aren't you going on?" Joanna asked, although she felt quite bored, she also felt a little proud to see An Feng surrounded by a group of admirers.

"I said I wanted to accompany you." An Feng said.

"Don't go, don't go, I'll treat you at noon!" Shang Xiong warmly invited them, "It's rare to have visitors from afar, let's go to a game restaurant in the city to spend a meal!" There are also wild meats such as pheasants and snakes, and Mr. An lives abroad all the year round, so he must not have been able to experience these wild meats, right? ”

An Feng listened to the spittle, there is really no chance abroad, Joanna is also hungry, although the food they said is quite terrifying, but she still nodded. She rarely vetoes her husband's decision outside, and this time it was the same. It is also the reason why An Feng feels good at home, if he has a wife like this, what more can a husband ask for.

The crowd got into the car and left the velodrome for the city's restaurants.

A few cars parked in front of a restaurant with decent decoration, and there was no reservation to say that it was booked, so he chose a place inside, followed Shang Xiong to order some game, plus a few bottles of beer, and after the wine and food were served, Shang Xiong specially said to Zhou Hang: "Racers are only allowed to drink half a glass of beer." ”

Zhou Hang swallowed his saliva and protested silently, but to no avail.

An Feng raised his wine glass and touched it with friends from all walks of life, drank a sip of cool cold beer, and tried pheasant meat with vegetables, the meat was a little hard, but the taste was very good, sweet, and it was very tasty without adding too many ingredients, he sandwiched a piece for Joanna: "Try it, a flying chicken." ”

Joanna took a bite and nodded, "Sweet, delicious." ”

"I knew it." An Feng knows that Westerners have a sweet taste. When I looked up to pick up something, I found that everyone was watching, obviously strange that the foreign girl was skillful with chopsticks.

"She's my daughter-in-law, she'll definitely use it." An Feng smiled proudly.

Although they only met a few hours ago, because of the common interest in racing, everyone chatted very much, especially Shang Xiong, a very generous person, although this meal was quite expensive, but he didn't care. An Feng is also welcome, it is rare to have delicious food, chicken and snake meat are very good.

Joanna was determined not to touch the snake meat, but she learned to eat something else. An hour later, everyone also filled their stomachs and chatted in the atmosphere, and when An Feng asked Zhou Hang what his biggest dream was, he replied: "I hope to participate in world-class touring car races." ”

“WTCC？” An Feng asked.

"It's too, but I like the horsepower, like the one you play." Zhou Hang said.

"It's a matter of talent and fitness, and it's very taxing on the driver." An Feng said that after a game, he dehydrated two or three kilograms, and the acceleration could reach up to 3 G, and he couldn't play without physical strength and endurance. The current Zhou Hang looks thin, and his physical fitness is unqualified in the first place.

"I'll try." Zhou Hang said, like answering An Feng, but also like giving himself confidence.

An Feng was moved by his eyes: "In this way, if you can get the top three in this sprint event held in the province, I will provide you with sponsorship and support, and if you perform better, I can arrange for you to go abroad to experience a better racing environment, and even let you enter the GP team." ”

"Really?" Naoho was surprised, and the rest of the audience was also moved, knowing that the GP team is not a small reputation, and I heard that it is preparing for a high-level E-GT event, or simply entering the Formula E. And in terms of financial resources, there is the behemoth of GP companies, which is the strongest.

"Of course, I'm not kidding." An Feng said.

"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!" Shangxiong told Zhou Hang that it is the dream of all drivers to be able to go abroad and participate in world-class events.

But Zhou Hang hesitated: "I can't speak English......"

"If you kid can go abroad to compete, you don't have to worry about this!" Shang Xiong laughed, "It's no problem to give you the entire translation then!" ”

Zhou Hang looked at An Feng, who represented magic and hope: "What conditions do I need to participate in the world-class if I want to participate in the world-class?" ”

An Feng thought for a while: "If you can win the sprint race, I will set up a racing foundation to support you, if within three years, you can win the top three in the high-level events in China, I will ask the GP team to negotiate a contract with you, what do you think?" ”

"Three years?" Zhou Hang calculated that he would be twenty-two years old in three years, which happened to be the golden age of racing drivers, generally within the age of thirty, both physical strength and energy were at the peak stage, and he could withstand the event with a lot of consumption.

On the contrary, Naoho is more concerned about the issue of the Racing Foundation.

This is also An Feng's temporary idea, he has a lot of money in his hand, so he plans to entrust the establishment of a racing foundation, through the profits obtained from fund investment to support racing activities, and help tap some potential young drivers, like Zhou Hang, to avoid being wasted.

To put it simply, it is a foundation that mines folk seed players.

For example, there are several hundred million funds with an annual profit of 10 million, which can support a lot of motorsports.

GP Energy supports sporting events in order to increase their visibility, although they are invincible at present, but it does not mean that there will be no competitors in the future, for the sake of long-term consideration, they have to expand their publicity through a variety of behaviors, and consolidate their hegemony in the battery industry.

The GP team is equivalent to part of the publicity link, and Anfeng, as a shareholder of the team, naturally hopes that the team can find a team like John. A talented driver like Cooper, if he does it well, let alone lose money, the team itself can bring a lot of profits, just refer to the international competitions. (To be continued......)
