Chapter 474: Challenging Higher Mountains

If it is produced in large quantities, these materials are really a problem, and it is estimated that few people are willing to pay such a high price for it, but fortunately, it is only for laboratory production of modified parts for these four cars, then there is not much of a problem, including various parts that may be replaced in the future, there are not many things in total. Well, it's just not much compared to mass production, in fact, it's not a lot, and in terms of weight alone, it's also measured in tons.

Fortunately, although there are a lot of these parts, these things are core components relative to the demand of the entire fleet, and they will not need to be replaced many times, so there is no need to prepare too many parts. It's not like tires, which have to be changed almost every day.

The modification of the car is proceeding in an orderly manner, the formation of the team is also in full swing, and the most important thing now, of course, is to solve the problems of the driver and the navigator.

Peter Hansel, who is now dominating the Dakar Rally motorcycle group, was interested in an invitation from Alice's "Snow Leopard" team. Although he was very cold at the beginning after hearing that this Alice Group was a company from China, when he heard that the six models of Ford that are now selling well around the world are all from the joint design of the Alice Group and the Ford Group, and the Alice motorcycle team that is now mixed in the World Superbike Championship is also from this Alice Group. The four-time Dakar Rally motorcycle champion, who is now a four-time winner of the Dakar Rally, immediately expressed a keen interest in the Alice Group:

Although the World Superbike Championship and the Dakar Rally motorcycle class are not the same level of competition, and even the format of the competition is by no means the same, the problem is for Peter Hansell, who is naturally fond of motorcycles. This is not a problem, and it does not stop Peter Hansel, who is a motorcycle lover by nature, from falling in love with the motorcycles produced by the Alice Group, and this crazy motorcycle collector has even made a sensation with every heavyweight motorcycle produced by the Alice Group motorcycle company, whether it is the "Black Dragon" prototype of the Alice Motorcycle Team for its speed, the cruiser of the "Moving Castle" for its comfort, or the "Vulcan" and "Tyrannosaurus" Such a Super Prince Cruiser can be found in the world champion's motorcycle collection.

The only thing that makes the world champion feel more regretful. So far, Alice Motorcycles has launched its own heavyweights in both speed racing and supercruisers, but it is a shame that Peter Hansel has not launched its own product in the professional advanced off-road racing segment.

Sometimes Peter Hansel thought about it too. If Alice Motorcycles had come up with a motocross bike that was good enough, would she have driven it to the Dakar Rally motorcycle category? Instead of using a ground motocross bike yourself now?

After learning that last year's "Snow Leopard" off-road vehicle that had achieved good results in its first participation in the Dakar Rally was also owned by the Alice Group, Peter Hansel began to feel a little excited. Peter Hansel spoke to the driver after arriving at the finish line, and the driver was impressed by the excellent performance of the Snow Leopard three-door SUV, which also made a deep impression on Peter Hansel at the time.

A car that has only been modified with limited financial resources, limited logistical support, and even insufficient spare parts can achieve such results, if there is a local manufacturer's fleet directly supported by the factory? What will be the result? Not surprisingly, it's much better than that driver, right? Peterhansel thought after the game.

Since everyone had a good impression of each other, it was much easier to talk about the next thing, Peter Hansel agreed. If you can meet the Ellis Group cars before September, the cars will meet your needs and you will be able to find a suitable partner to be your navigator. Then you can join the Alice "Snow Leopard" team. Of course, if you can know that you are a teammate of sufficient level before, you can also agree in advance.

"What does it mean to have a sufficient level? Can you give me a range, Mr. Peter Hansell? The supernatural racer scout that Zhang Lan found asked.

"Well, if the driver can finish in the top five overall in the Dakar Rally, of course, it would be better if he can win the championship." I thought about it. Peter Hansel said, "It doesn't matter if it's a drivers' championship or a race winner. ”

"As you wish." That's what the supernatural racer scout said to Peter Hansell, and at the same time gave Peter Hansel a small compliment by the way. "I'm sure you won't have to wait until September for you to become an integral part of our Alice Snow Leopard team."

In addition to the deep impression on him by Alice's motorcycle and the Snow Leopard, the most important reason for Peter Hansel's decision was that Peter Hansell was tired of always dominating the motorcycle group. It's cold at a high place, and in the same way, although the feeling of seeing all the mountains is very cool at the beginning, if you always look at the mountains on the same peak, it will also feel very boring: it's always this mountain, has it funny?!

At this point, the intrepid climber would like to test his mettle by challenging a mountain he had never climbed before, and in the Dakar Rally, the more challenging car class undoubtedly satisfied Peterhansel's desire to find a higher mountain to challenge again.

This is the current state of mind of Peter Hansel. The reason why he still competed in the motorcycle category of the 1998 Dakar Rally in history was not because he didn't want to challenge himself, but because no other team came to him to give him a chance to challenge new heights.

In the eyes of the teams in those car groups, the strength of a champion in the motorcycle group may not even have the strength of the average level racer in the car group, and the results that can be achieved can be imagined. While there have been a few examples of motorcycle class champions switching careers to the car class and winning the championship, there are very few such examples, and who is sure Peter Hansel is that successful example? And if you want to choose such a racer who has been famous in the motorcycle industry for a long time, you must pay a lot of salary, and the salary is not proportional to the strength, so it is not a good business. Rather than choosing such a driver, it is better to choose a driver who has been in the car group for a long time and has more strength. ,

So now, although Peter Hansel has the idea of challenging himself, no one has given him this opportunity, but coincidentally, Zhang Lan is back, and Zhang Lan, who knows what kind of strength this great god has, since he plans to participate in the Dakar Rally, he will naturally not let go of such a god-like figure.

Even when he was in contact with Peterhansell, the racer scout who contacted him told him what Zhang Lan said, the team did not have high requirements for him, as long as he could complete the race, and there was no requirement for the ranking.

As for the salary, the scout who was looking for Peter Hansell told him: "It's hard to say how much, but as long as you can finish the race, the boss said, the salary you can get will definitely not be less than the total salary plus bonuses that the Dakar class winner will get." ”

Although Peter Hansel nodded in agreement, he was quite unconvinced: how could he say that he was also the winner of the motorcycle class of the Dakar Rally for four consecutive times, and this possible new boss asked him to only be able to complete the race? This is inevitably a bit too underestimating yourself!

When it comes to Peter Hansell, we have to mention Peter Hansell's golden partner, his future navigator Kortrit, it is the perfect cooperation between Cotterit and Peter Hansell, with Cotter's silent support for Peter Hansell on the side, that will make Peter Hansel, a legendary hero in the Dakar Rally - too bloody, why does it sound like Cotterit is very much like the woman standing behind a successful man?

Now that Peter Hansel has been dealt with, then for the important task that Zhang Lan gave him to find Peter Hansell's golden partner Cotter, the supernatural racing driver scout that Zhang Lan found will naturally continue to look for painfully and happily: who let the boss drive his salary is so attractive, and every time he successfully signs a driver, the boss who has not yet met gives him such a generous bonus?

The dollar is really *** is a good thing, it can make the originally lazy guy who wants to die for the sake of the dollar to run around the world for you, even if he is tired like a dog sticking out his tongue and panting.

It's just that there are many people who call the name Kortrit, and there is a sea of people. Where do you let yourself go? Fortunately, Zhang Lan finally remembered that Cottett's full name was Jean Pau Cottret, otherwise this poor racing driver scout might not have been able to find the person Zhang Lan needed even if he turned the whole of Europe upside down.

I don't know from which corner this guy turned out of Cottryt, but Zhang Lan knew that this guy must have taken a lot of effort to dig this guy out, because when he saw the racer scout who worked hard for him, the guy was already haggard: his hair seemed to have not been washed for tens of thousands of years, and some unknown small animals could be seen crawling in and out of the hair bushes that had been tied up; The red-eyed ones can go directly to play the vampire; And the withered appearance can directly play as a zombie.
