It's just a small welcome ceremony, basically like a meal, so it's also early.

After the end, Zhang Yifei did not go to the single dormitory provided by the Toyota training base, but returned to the hotel he stayed with Lu Ningping.

Because now that the trial has passed, Lu Ningping has no way to stay in the Toyota Academy, his mission has been completed, and he will take the plane back to Hong Kong Island the next morning to continue his coaching career at the Wind Chasing Club.

"Yifei, my ability can only take care of you up to this point, and the next thing is up to you."

When packing up his things, Lu Ningping said with a little sadness that the future career path will be taken by Zhang Yifei alone, and he can't provide more help in formula racing.

"Don't worry, Uncle Lu, I'm fine."

To be honest, Zhang Yifei is also a little sad to say goodbye this time, and the next time I see Uncle Lu again may be a year and a half later.

And if you want Uncle Lu to become your coach again, it is estimated that when you build your own racing team, I don't know what year and month it is.

At this time, Lu Ningping took out a bank card from his pocket, handed it to Zhang Yifei and said: "This is the card that I and your father helped you do at Citibank, there is a million deposits in it, and there are many places to spend money next, if the money is not enough, call us." ”

Toyota's youth drivers are just exempt from Zhang Yifei's training fees, but if Zhang Yifei wants to participate in professional events in the future, he still needs to spend high event fees, and this million is to prepare for participating in formula racing in the future.

So Zhang Yifei was not polite, and directly took the bank card from Uncle Lu and replied, "Thank you, Uncle Lu." ”

"There's nothing else to say, remember that you're a professional driver and you're going to have to face a lot of things like a man in the future."

Lu Ningping patted Zhang Yifei on the shoulder, from today onwards, even if Zhang Yifei is an official professional driver, he can no longer look at it with the eyes of a child before. Everything in the future needs to be borne by Zhang Yifei himself on the shoulders of a man.

Hearing this instruction, Zhang Yifei smiled on his face and did not speak. Men don't just talk about it, they want to show their responsibility in action in the future.

Next, Lu Ningping also explained some trivial things, and asked Zhang Yifei to return to the Toyota youth training base, because the training will officially start tomorrow morning, and he doesn't want to delay Zhang Yifei's training time.

In the face of Lu Ningping's request to return to the training base, Zhang Yifei was not hypocritical, and simply hugged Uncle Lu even if he said goodbye, and did not say anything like sending him the next day.

Because Zhang Yifei knows that only by running out of results can he repay them best.

After hailing a taxi back to the youth training base, Zhang Yifei checked into a single dormitory, which is a typical Japanese tatami mat-style room.

But fortunately, Zhang Yifei does not have any habit of recognizing the bed, and the dormitory is very good in terms of decoration style and equipment provision. After all, in a money-burning game like racing, the amount of money spent on accommodation is almost negligible.

At eight o'clock in the morning of the second day, Zhang Yifei started his formal training at the Toyota team, which is different from karting, and formula racing has higher requirements for physical fitness. In the half-hour team trial before, Zhang Yifei can almost be described as dehydrated, and his neck muscles are extremely sore.

If this is placed in the official competition, Zhang Yifei's current physical fitness is likely to be unable to withstand such a high G-value pressure, as well as the sequelae caused by high temperature dehydration, and there will be intermittent black vision, and even fainting directly.

In order to adapt to the pace of future races, formula drivers, including F1 drivers, will do a lot of daily training, and in general, no less than eight hours of training per day.

This amount of training is a very high-intensity level in any professional sport, so racing is far from being as easy as it seems, and you can't look at professional racing with the same eyes as you normally drive.

No success is easy, and they can become car gods and car kings, and they also have extremely hard sweat behind them.

The driver training at Toyota's youth training base is mainly divided into two parts: physical training and practical operation.

Among them, physical training is divided into three categories: strength, endurance and coordinated reaction ability. Each one will have a dedicated physical trainer to develop a training plan, and a nutritionist will ensure that the rider's body needs are met.

Strength training, as the name suggests, is to improve the strength of the driver, many people may not understand why the physical requirements of formula drivers are so high, to put it simply, that is, the F1 car in this era is not steering!

That's right, the steering power of F1 cars was only officially introduced in 2001, and the steering wheel was as heavy as a cow before!

In this era, it takes about 30 kilograms of power to operate an F1 steering wheel, especially when cornering, and strong arms are needed to keep the car on the driver's desired path.

Think about the distance of an F1 race may be as high as 300 kilometers, and you have to control the steering wheel accurately at all times.

In addition to basic strength training, Formula drivers pay special attention to neck muscle training, because during racing, the driver's torso is fixed to the driver's seat with a seat belt, and whether it is longitudinal or transverse acceleration, it can be absorbed by the seat and seat belt.

However, the neck cannot be fixed, and with the weight of the helmet, it is considered the most stressful part of the body.

Therefore, formula sports have extremely high requirements for neck muscles, and even wearing a neck brace cannot share the pressure on the neck.

There is no way to rely on equipment to share, only by the human body itself is tough! The Academy uses a special machine that stretches the neck at all angles to improve the strength of the neck muscles.

Or the rider himself uses the reverse bow training method, which is to lie flat on the ground and then arch up at the waist, relying only on the head and legs for support, which is also a common way to train the neck muscles in combat sports.

In addition to equipment, endurance training also includes cycling, swimming, marathons and other sports, such as British F1 driver Jenson Button, who has achieved excellent results in professional triathlons.

Finally, there is reaction and coordination training, such as catching a tennis ball bouncing off the wall with a backhand, and then quickly lying prone in a pile of cards, quickly recognizing the designated cards and memorizing the contents of the cards.

This method is very similar to some memory training methods, which can strengthen the rider's reflexes and memory, and at the same time expand the coordination of the limbs.

In addition to physical training, the other aspect is practical operation, which is easier to understand, which is a variety of track exercises and simulated racing.

The driving skills of all formula drivers are actually based on time and training, which is why, a week of high-intensity training, a single tire needs to be changed four sets, because the consumption is too great.

However, formula drivers not only learn driving skills, but also include theoretical knowledge in the actual handling, and need to understand the various structures and vehicle performance of the car.

Only by fully understanding and being familiar with the various functions of the car can we achieve the unity of the driver and the person in the race and run the best results.

These professional trainings are a strong guarantee for professional drivers, and they are also the biggest difference from street riders.

So never challenge someone else's career with your hobby, because he has given far more than you.
