Chapter 457: Where Are the Drivers?

It seemed that it was also very troublesome to do this, and Brother Tian couldn't help but change his words, "Forget it, since you designed it once, why don't you design the whole car for you as well, if the things I designed are messed up by the guys in your racing design department in the end, won't it fall into the name of my Brother Zhuzi?" If that happens, I, Optimus Prime, will definitely be laughed to death by that bastard guy from Megatron! ”

After speaking, Brother Zhuzi didn't forget to glare at Zhang Lan, "His grandmother is a bear, let your kid take a big advantage!" ”

When did Brother Zhu learn to swear? Alice and Xiao Chenxi were dumbfounded for a while, looking at each other and looking at each other: The original pillar brother, how honest and good a good person he is, but he didn't expect that since he came to the earth, he has been taken by Zhang Lan, not only has his temperament become more and more lazy, but now he has learned to swear? Oh my God, it's devastating to think about!

Hehe, Zhang Lan, who took advantage of it, was stupidly happy, just scold two sentences if she was scolded, anyway, there is no piece of meat on her body, and she has made such a big profit.

"Do you want non-metallic materials," Zhang Lan suddenly remembered that there seemed to be few things in his company's composite research institute that could be used as suitable materials, and couldn't help but ask. If I remember correctly, it seems that in the process of vehicle modification, in order to reduce the weight of the body, many lighter weight and stronger composite materials are also used, such as a large number of carbon fiber materials on the body?

"Take it all together!" Brother Zhu waved his big hand very heroically.

Well, all of a sudden, the dust was splashing outside, and the sound of something falling to the ground sounded, and Brother Zhuzi's heroic appearance was suddenly greatly reduced: it seemed that there was another layer of wall skin missing from the wall outside.

Look at Brother Zhuzi again, I don't know when, Brother Zhuzi's ground cover that only falls when he is fighting, actually fell strangely at this moment. And it didn't even make a sound. The mask was gray and dusty.

Zhang Lan wondered in her heart for a while: It's really weird, could it be that Brother Zhuzi will blush? Otherwise, what would he be doing with his mask when he was idle?

I really want to go out and see what happened to Brother Zhuzi outside, but I put up with it, forget it, I still have to ask Brother Zhuzi now, let's save some face for him.

"Hmm." Zhang Lan nodded, very good, the matter of the car was solved smoothly, with the help of Brother Zhuzi, there is no need to worry about the problem of the racing ground now. Well, well, once everything is out of the way, finding the right drivers for your team is the most important issue at the moment.

As for why not one, but a batch, because any manufacturer team participating in the Dakar Rally has more than one participating car. Zhang Lan remembers that in 2007, the German Volkswagen Touareg team's participating cars seemed to reach an astonishing four Volkswagen Touareg 2 cars; With the support of Mitsubishi Motors, the world's leading lubricant brand Lepsol, and parts suppliers Valeo and Bellows Tire, they also sent four Mitsubishi EVOMPR132007 models to the race - and in the previous six editions, the Mitsubishi team had won the car class for six consecutive years! Even a small team like the X-raid team has three cars! Even the independent team Toast Racing had three cars in the competition!

Since his company is ready to appear at the Dakar Rally as a manufacturer team, it is natural that it will not only send one or two racing cars to participate in the competition, Zhang Lan's plan is. Like the world's leading car manufacturers, Alice Group also sent four cars to participate!

In the fierce race, the racers who focus on driving have no time to care about the distance, and the control of all the information on the route can only be handed over to their own navigators. The quality of a navigator and the degree of tacit cooperation with the driver. It directly determines what kind of results this car can achieve.

Zhang Lan crossed her legs on the sofa, alas she thought about the future famous racers of the Dakar Rally car group who might have been poached by herself:

Known as the evergreen land of the car world. Vattain? The home of the four-time winner of the World Rally Championship and the Dakar Rally? Well, this guy is a legend in world motorsports, the overall winner of the World Rally Championship in 1981 and the winner of four Dakar Rally Championships in 1987, 1989, 1990 and 1991. Not only that. This guy is still a two-term member of the European Parliament, which is really shocking! This guy came to 2007. It's incredible to be in your fifties to race for the Volkswagen Touareg team.

Well. This guy should still be in the logo convoy now, right? This one is known as the same as let. Todd named the guy, maybe it's a good choice to have this guy as his team's technical director or team general manager?

Peter Hansel? This guy who was born in France in 1965, the nine-time champion of the Dakar Rally, seems to be mixing well in the motorcycle group now, counting this year, in the seven Dakar Rally motorcycle races that this guy has participated in, this guy has won five drivers' championships, and if history is nothing else, this guy will also win next year's motorcycle championship. It wasn't until 1999 that this guy would be transferred to the car class to compete, and it seems very difficult to encourage this guy to compete in the car class now.

Or Luca. Alfon? Like Peter Hansell, this guy was born in 196 and is also in France, and now he's having a lot of fun playing alpine skiing, although how strong is this guy's technical strength? Here's an example of this, when he first switched from alpine skiing to the Dakar Rally in 1999, he won the T group in his first Dakar Rally.

In short, this is a guy who was born for speed and Dakar!

Or is it that woman who doesn't let the eyebrows, the former female driver Juta. Klein Schmidt? The only female champion in the history of the Dakar Rally, Zhang Lan still doesn't know where this girl is squatting. ,

But the female driver, who will be known as the "Queen of Dakar" in the future, is also the most skilled, the most educated, and the most admired driver by Zhang Lan, the female world champion also has the title of physicist, and has worked in the car development department, using a variety of applications to participate in the development of cars, and is considered an all-round driver. If you can get her into your own team, then your team won't have to worry about the design of the car in the future.

As for the kid from Rome who is now playing with motorcycles, Zhang Lan almost doesn't have much hope that he can get this guy.

Or is it German. Villier, well, this tragic figure in the Dakar Rally, the second in 10,000 years, the guy who is always pressed by Peter Hansel? Well, it's possible, but this guy is still in the Nissan team in Japan, competing in the South African Production Car Championship, until 2003, when he started representing the Nissan team in the Dakar Rally.

However, Zhang Lan thought beautifully: It seems that digging the foot of the Japanese wall is also a good choice? I just don't know the Japanese and Virtue. What kind of contract did Villier sign, and did he have any loopholes to exploit?

After thinking about it, it seems that these powers, as well as several other well-known drivers, are not so easy to handle. As for Zhang Lan's idea of why he didn't go to fight the current main drivers of other teams, it was very simple, no team would release people, and no driver would blindly join a team that had never appeared in the Dakar Rally before, and the car had only been tested once in the Dakar, even if the money given was too much - it was not impossible, if hundreds of millions of dollars were smashed, no driver would be able to resist this temptation, and the key was whether it was cost-effective or not.

One of the most important reasons is that Zhang Lan is not very familiar with the current Dakar rally drivers, and these people, although some of them are not very famous now, are all powerful people who will dominate the Dakar Rally car group championship in the future.

The supervisor of the team and some other personnel, as well as the backup support vehicles, etc., are now even more zero, Zhang Lan has a headache, and it is really troublesome to build a team.

If you can't do it yourself, leave it to a professional person to do, Zhang Lan, who has always adhered to this point, once again carried forward this style and instructed his subordinates, this problem that gives him a headache, let others have a headache. Compared with those professional personnel, this amateur guy is still too bad.

"Are you just going to race in the car class?" Xiao Chenxi was curious, "This is not your character, according to your consistent performance, it should be along with the two levels of truck and motorcycle group." ”

"Am I always like this?" Zhang Lan sweated profusely.

"What do you think?" Alice, who was on the side, leaned on the sofa in a variety of styles, and lazily threw Zhang Lan a beautiful sanitary ball.

Fainting, in the minds of these two girls, he is still a perfectionist, God knows, he is actually too lazy to die, "This is very simple, let's talk about motorcycles first, we didn't participate in high-end motocross bikes under such difficult conditions as the Dakar Rally; Speaking of trucks, there is no problem with our trucks, but if they need to be modified, the modification of trucks is more troublesome than the modification of off-road vehicles! Although there is no problem in terms of funds to support the operation of three teams at the same time, and the vehicles can also be handed over to Brother Zhu to carry out, it will be very troublesome in terms of staffing," said Zhang Lan spread his hands, "In such a short period of time, where to find so many high-quality drivers?" ”
