"Uncle Lu, is there any news from the European Cooperation Club?"

When he received the call, Zhang Yifei asked directly, he knew that Lu Ningping would not be idle and call him, since he called, there must be something serious.

"Well, the video information was transmitted to the European partner clubs through the Internet, and they also said that the technology was very strong, but ......"

As the saying goes, everything is afraid of a sentence, but when he heard this sentence, Zhang Yifei already understood that things might be yellow.

"Uncle Lu, if you have anything, just say it, it's a big deal, I'll rise step by step from the primary formula!"

Zhang Yifei was not very disappointed, maybe he had already prepared for failure.

"They think you're getting older at the moment, and that kind of strength is strong in a teenage kart, but it's not very impressive in formula car, and if you want to prove yourself, you need to use stronger opponents to set it off."

What Lu Ningping said is also true, the Hong Kong Island Junior Karting Championship is the highest level of junior racing in Greater China, but it is not even a follower in the world.

If Zhang Yifei won the Formula Renault championship at that time, then the result may be completely different, and the level of driving skills depends not only on himself, but also on who the opponent he faced at that time.

"It's not a complete failure, though, I've been in contact with the Toyota Racing Youth Training Center in Japan, and they're planning to set up a Toyota Academy. If you want, you can enter the Toyota Academy first, and in the future, you can participate in Formula Renault as a Toyota driver, or go directly to the Japanese F3 level. ”

"Does Toyota currently have an F1 team?"

Zhang Yifei asked rhetorically, because according to his memory, the Toyota F1 team seems to have officially joined F1 in 2002, and now it is only 1999, and the time is a bit wrong. Could it be that history has changed again, Formula Renault has appeared in advance, and even the Toyota team has also advanced?

"No, how can an F1 team appear out of thin air, especially a new F1 team, it takes several years to prepare. It just so happens that the Toyota Event Center is already preparing for the event, so there will be vacant places, which is a good opportunity. ”

The meaning of Lu Ningping's words is also obvious, that is, the current strong F1 team in Europe, even if it is a youth academy or an automobile academy, will not choose a nobody like Zhang Yifei.

But the Toyota team is different, they are currently in the process of preparation, and they need drivers to join their reserve echelon, so Zhang Yifei can be given a chance to try, which may be Zhang Yifei's only chance at present.

"No problem, Uncle Lu, I can try out the Toyota team academy."

After solving the doubts, Zhang Yifei agreed directly without hesitation, and he also knew that once this opportunity was missed, the next newly formed F1 team would have to wait until the BMW Sauber team in 06.

Of course, Zhang Yifei can't wait until 06, if he misses Toyota's youth training and wants to enter F1, the next thing is to go up from the super kart event and step by step according to the previous plan. It's a long time, and the F1 teams are getting younger and younger in terms of driver age.

"Okay, I'll help you confirm it here, Guangshen asked Zhiguo to prepare the interview materials, and then apply for a visa."

In this era, due to domestic economic reasons, it is still relatively difficult to apply for visas in developed countries, after all, too many people run out to work in the dark. However, with the current assets in Zhang Yifei's family, coupled with the invitation letter issued by Toyota, the probability of passing the visa is basically 100%.

Zhang Yifei plans to use this week to go to the East China Sea to run the track race, and at the same time, it can be regarded as seeing the professional atmosphere of domestic racing in this era, as well as the legendary East China Sea Volkswagen 222 team.

After all, this is the most well-known professional team in China in my last life, I don't know what the world is like, will the current writer and future driver Han Han join?

Hanging up the phone, Zhang Yifei told the old man what Uncle Lu said, at least let him prepare the real estate certificate and the asset certificate of the deposit. The others are waiting for Uncle Lu to bring the official invitation letter issued by Toyota, so that the interview will be much easier.

Originally, Zhang Yifei went to Japan for him, but it was just a second-best choice, after all, the strongest European team had no choice.

As a result, they didn't expect this news to be in the eyes of Zhang Zhiguo, but they were very excited, because the level of domestic professional events is very low at this stage, and running various karting events in China may not be as effective as going to Japan to be a one-year test driver.

This kind of football is similar to that of later generations, and it is better to be able to stay abroad to improve the technical level than to keep messing around in China.

The rookie of Japanese racing is relative to the strongest Europe, but it is still much stronger than the current China, especially in terms of track racing and formula racing, which is almost equal to zero at this stage in China.

"I'll help you prepare the materials, practice hard when you go to Japan, don't let down your Uncle Lu's hard work!"

Hearing this, Zhang Yifei also replied with a smile: "Don't worry, old man, if you go to Japan, you must be better than the little devil students, otherwise you will just live up to Uncle Lu's hard work." ”

On the other hand, the commissioning time was longer than the previous modification of the power system, which took three days.

In fact, this has not been debugged yet, because there is too little information about road conditions, and the site of the driving school is far from being compared with the real venue runway. But there is no way, the conditions are at this level, and Zhang Yifei has a tight schedule, so he can only do this step.

But even so, Zhang Yifei thinks it's enough, Shen Dong can't outrun himself in the mountain race, and he still wants to win the professional track race? It's a joke!

In fact, seriously speaking, it is almost impossible for countries with mature motor sports in later generations to take into account both track racing and rally racing and reach the championship level, because this is completely different types, on the contrary, F1 and touring cars belong to the same track race.

However, Han Han, a famous racing driver in later generations, won the double championship of track race and rally in China, which is not to prove how strong Han Han is, but to prove that the level of domestic events is relatively low.

It is precisely because of the special environment in the early days of China that although Zhang Yifei's main business is a rally driver, he actually runs a lot of venues. Moreover, the high-intensity karting training during this period has improved his driving skills, and it can be said that in terms of pure track racing, his driving skills are extremely close to the level of his previous life.

Therefore, some flaws in Mitsubishi EVO can no longer affect the results of the event, and Shen Dong has no hope of winning.

In the afternoon of the same day, Zhang Yifei contacted the logistics company and sent the EVO to the East China Sea, and he himself rushed over by plane the next morning. It wasn't until the evening of the second day that Zhang Yifei mentioned that his EVO, a distance of more than 1,400 kilometers, was already very fast in this era.

The city of the East China Sea is no stranger to Zhang Yifei, he has been here many times in his previous life, but even if it is twenty years ago, the city still shows the style of its future magic capital, and the degree of prosperity is incomparable to the breadth and depth at this stage.
