Chapter 2 Failure of the trial

(Thank you for forgetting my future, jerking off all over the world, haven't found it yet, ligcnpc's tip, thank you for your support.) )

Kagilina Chen Mo didn't understand too much, he only knew that F1 was the highest level of racing in the world, which was like a European giant in football.

Chen Zheng is now just a novice who has not even participated in professional competitions, according to the general procedure, he needs to first become a professional driver, then participate in low-level races, and then climb up step by step, and may not see the door of F1 for the rest of his life.

But last year, a genius, Lewis Hamilton, who was only 14 years old and only won the junior world championship in the karting competition, was recruited by McLaren Racing.

In Chen Mo's opinion, his younger brother is also a genius in this aspect. He didn't want his younger brother to waste his talent at the lower level, but wanted him to go straight to the high level, even if he couldn't get into F1 now, but also to F3000.

Moreover, if he has money, he can also directly buy a team to support Chen Zheng. Of course, this requires a premise, that is, Chen Zheng's talent is really worth cultivating.

Therefore, one of the main purposes of Chen Mo bringing Chen Zheng to Europe this time is also to give Chen Zheng the opportunity to receive formal training and testing, and to confirm his talent through rigorous tests.

In the simulated cockpit, Chen was running the fastest lap of three minutes and fifty seconds on the simulated Fiorano circuit. According to Kajilina, although this lap time is still a certain distance from the regular drivers, if Chen Zheng is a novice who has not experienced any races, this result is still commendable.

Chen Mo's Ferrari was sent to the scene, and they couldn't wait to come to the outside of the museum, looking at this fiery red Ferrari, Chen Mo's heart was full of excitement.

Chen Mo had a detailed communication with the two engineers, and the engineers followed Chen Mo's requirements. The engine computer and transmission computer have been reset.

Some people are looking for top speed, and the gearbox is tuned to increase the maximum speed of straight-line acceleration at the expense of maximum torque. If someone likes the speed at the start, increase the torque horsepower at low RPM to enhance the initial acceleration time.

However, this change is not infinite, after all, the Ferrari 360 is only an entry-level sports car, and the engine and gearbox are not as powerful as those supercars. This kind of tuning only makes the car and the person work more perfectly, and it is impossible to get more than the ability to exceed its limits.

For example, Chen Mo did not require a maximum speed. Instead, the speed was limited to 250 kilometers per hour by computer. Although the top speed of 330 kilometers per hour is boiling, there is not much place to play in China, and the top speed of 250 kilometers per hour is enough to use.

Chen Zheng was quite dissatisfied with this tuning, and strongly asked himself to try the top speed of the car first, and then make modifications.

At this time, Kagilina came to the scene with a handsome old Italian handsome guy. His gaze ignored Chen Mo and Liu Gang, and fell directly on Chen Zheng. After staring at Chen Zheng for a while, he asked in English, "It is said that you have a lot of talent for racing, but you have never proven yourself on the track?" ”

Chen Zheng looked at Chen Mo with some confusion. Chen Mo translated this sentence for him and replied on his behalf: "Yes, I think my younger brother is a very talented racing driver, and he has never even learned to drive properly. But it has driving skills that many people can't match. ”

The handsome old man smiled and said: "Driving talent and skill cannot be confused, if he doesn't know English, he doesn't know Italian." Then I am afraid that this door will not be opened for him. ”

Chen Mo shook his head and said, "Whether it's English or Italian, it can be enhanced by learning, but talent can't." I don't dare to expect my brother to be on the pitch straight away, but I hope you can give him a chance to show himself in front of you, and even if he doesn't live up to your requirements, I'd be grateful if I could get your professional comments. ”

He looked at the time and said, "Of course, the purpose of my coming here is also because of this, I can give him half an hour to see if he can convince me with facts." ”

Chen Mo and Ferrari booked a test drive on the track in the afternoon, but now it has been adjusted to the present. While waiting for the track, Chen Mo learned that this handsome old guy was named Alivabene, and he was now the head of the Scuderia Ferrari's inline department. (I didn't find a list of team management members for 2000, so I arranged a later one, hoping that the party wouldn't care.) )

Although it was a test drive, Ferrari had meticulous arrangements for all aspects. Chen Zheng put on a regular racing suit, and several monitoring devices were installed in Chen Mo's new car to test various data during driving.

Because of these, he was busy for more than half an hour, and Chen Zheng finally drove the Ferrari onto the track. At the stage of getting familiar with the track, there was also a navigator sitting next to Chen Zheng to guide the route to run. Chen Zheng also ran two laps on the track at a normal speed.

He must not only be familiar with the track, but also with the racing car, you know, before again, he had only test driven the Zhu brothers' Lamborghini and Porsche, and Ferrari was the first time he touched it.

At 12:10 a.m., Chen Zheng began to roar on the track, and the sharp sound of the Ferrari's engine left a boiling sound on the track. Chen Mo, who was sitting in the stands, couldn't help but boil when he heard this voice.

With an average speed of 150 kilometers per hour and a top speed of 240 kilometers per hour, this is the final result of Chen Zheng on the most difficult track to navigate.

Chen Mo is a layman, he only knows about these data, but Alivabene does not pay any attention to them. He simulated every detail of Chen Zheng's entire driving process on the computer for the first time, where to step on the accelerator more, where to step on the brake more, where the direction was offset a little, where the turning inward cut was not in place, and every bit of Chen Zheng's driving process was presented on the computer.

Because the final data had to be tested, the results would not be available until the afternoon, and because of the delay in everyone's lunchtime, Chen Mo specially invited everyone to have a big meal at the Cavalino restaurant next to the museum. This famous Italian restaurant really lives up to its reputation, and the taste is quite good, which also makes Kajilina and her sisters quite satisfied with Chen Mo's generosity.

However, the final test results were a little unsatisfactory, Chen Zheng, who had not undergone formal training, although he was outstanding in driving talent, but the whole driving process almost did not meet the competition norms, and the results were not particularly outstanding.

If it were a normal team, maybe he would have been given a chance to try out, but Ferrari has always been the king of the circuit, they have the world's number one driver Schumacher, the consistent Barrichello, and a whole bunch of world-famous young players, Chen Zheng has not been favored by them.

On the way back, Chen Zheng was quite depressed, he had always been very confident in himself, but he didn't expect that he would also be looked down upon by others one day. Along the way, Liu Gang drove, Chen Mo explained the way with him, re-established his goal for him, and finally let him recover when he arrived in Zurich. (To be continued.) )
