"Zhang Yifei, where do you think the gap between the opponent and you is?"

"Zhang Yifei, do you think you can easily defeat these opponents in future events?"

"Zhang Yifei, what is your next event plan, and are you already winning?"

In an instant, these reporters began to ask questions in a swarm, basically luring Zhang Yifei to reply to the above.

Just when Zhang Yifei was about to answer, Lu Ningping leaned over and blocked the front and said: "Thank you reporters for the interview, the contestants are about to participate in the award ceremony, and they need to leave first, sorry." After speaking, he pulled Zhang Yi to fly to the direction of the podium.

These reporters still wanted to follow, but because the award ceremony was about to be held, the on-site staff also stopped them.

"You kid is also open-mouthed, these media reporters on Hong Kong Island are different from the mainland, they are simply unscrupulous for the sake of newspaper sales or ratings, this is a trick for you."

"I know."

Zhang Yifei replied very calmly, doesn't the Hong Kong Island reporter just want to make a big news, establish himself as an arrogant and arrogant image, and then trigger a topic of criticism, this routine is too obvious.

"I know that I still say those words, don't you know how to keep a low profile?"

Lu Ningping's tone was a little helpless, he is not the kind of mediocre person, the racer must have a sharp spirit, and Zhang Yifei is still a young man, if the young people are not vigorous, can they still be called young people?

It's just that Zhang Yifei's answer is a little too straightforward, and he is also a little tactful, leaving some affection for the opponent.

"I also want to keep a low profile, but my strength doesn't allow it!"

Hearing this, Lu Ningping swallowed back what he was going to say, he didn't know how to persuade Zhang Yifei, or felt that what he said seemed to make a little sense.

The award ceremony of the Hong Kong Island Karting Championship was not very grand, but the top three runners stood on the podium and presented trophies and flowers, as well as a championship prize of 10,000 Hong Kong dollars.

When he walked off the podium, the group of reporters wanted to make some "amazing words" from Zhang Yifei, but they were all blocked by Lu Ningping, and he didn't like the more pompous media interviews on Hong Kong Island very much.

On the ferry back, Zhang Yifei and Lu Ningping stood at the bow of the boat, and he asked: "Uncle Lu, when I saw that I left, you took a CD, is it a video of this competition?" ”

"Hmm."

"No, Uncle Lu, although I ran very well, there is no need to save the aftertaste."

Zhang Yifei made a joke, this kind of go-kart event only plays a step role for him, and the review is of little significance.

Lu Ningping did not answer, but asked rhetorically: "Have you heard of Formula Renault?" ”

Formula Renault? Zhang Yifei didn't expect Lu Ningping to suddenly say this, the famous Renault formula, he naturally heard about it.

The first session of Formula Renault was held in 2000, and the first session made a big hit, that is, the Dutch driver Reknen, after winning the championship in the British Formula Renault, directly crossed the F3 and F3000 races, and became an F1 driver.

You must know that according to the normal process, after the junior formula championship, to participate in the F3 level events, you must win at least a few sub-station championships before you have the opportunity to upgrade to the F3000 event, and whether you can finally become an F1 driver still depends on strength and fate.

As a result, Reknam was only recognized by the F1 team as a Renault champion, which indirectly proved the gold content of Formula Renault.

This allowed Renault to surpass the old Formula Ford in one fell swoop, and it also crushed the Volkswagen, BMW and other formula events that were also rising stars, becoming the most famous and top junior formula racing event, and many top F1 drivers in later generations have participated in Formula Renault.

It's just that it's only 1999, and if Renault's first Zhang Yifei remembers correctly, it should be 2000, has the history of this world changed?

Of course, Zhang Yifei would not say this kind of problem, but just shook his head pretending not to know.

"Formula Renault is a brand event held by Renault manufacturers in the past two years, and it is not a long time, but it is currently the most popular junior formula in Europe, and even as long as the results are bright enough, there is a chance to be selected by the F1 team and cross the F3 and F3000 races."

"The video I just got was going to be sent to a partner club in Europe to see if I could get a place for you to get into the European Drivers' Academy. If we're lucky, we'll be able to get the team in the spotlight on the young drivers, but it's not realistic at the moment, so don't get your hopes up. ”

The reason why European professional racing is the strongest in the world is because they have a complete echelon training, from karting at a few years to a teenage driver academy, it can be said that a career training path has been paved.

At present, the vast majority of Asian drivers are halfway home, and Japan barely has automakers to do echelon training and develop young drivers. But I don't know whether to say that the Japanese drivers are too vegetable or some other reason, anyway, the Japanese drivers who compete in the world events are basically occupied by European drivers, just like Honda and Toyota, and I don't see much training results.

The Wind Chasing Club is still too simple, and it can no longer adapt to the training intensity and competition atmosphere that Zhang Yifei needs at present. Especially after seeing Zhang Yifei's potential and strength today, Lu Ningping began to be a little anxious in his heart, he didn't want to see such a good seedling delayed.

"Uncle Lu, is this what you said before about going to Europe?"

"Hmm."

"It's too hard."

Zhang Yifei sighed that if you want to enter the driver academy, you need the approval of the European side, but at this stage, whether it is age, strength or other reasons, it is impossible for the European driver academy to identify with a Chinese driver.

"It's man-made, I believe in your strength, what is lacking is an opportunity!"

Lu Ningping naturally understands the difficulty, but he chooses hope!

"Uncle Lu, if I can go to Europe, I will prove myself."

Zhang Yifei swore back, without any hesitation or dodging, he would not waste this opportunity.

Back on Hong Kong Island, the two first returned to the club, as the go-kart had to be put back in the garage.

Then there was Zhang Yifei's usual training, which did not stop because he won the Hong Kong Island Karting Championship, because this was only a starting point, and there was still a long way to go before the end of the equation.

But Lu Ningping did not coach at the club, but went out with the event video to find the owner behind the club, and contacted the driver academy through their relationship, after all, this is still a world of capital.

When I went home in the evening, Aunt Lu made a big table of dishes to celebrate Zhang Yifei's first championship in his life, and Zhang Yifei was a little embarrassed. Uncle Lu also came back during the meal, and in the face of Zhang Yifei's inquiring eyes, he just nodded and did not say the specific situation, because this kind of thing is not in a hurry.

Compared with Zhang Yifei and Lu Ningping's calmness, Lu Ningning is the most excited about Zhang Yifei winning the championship, as if she won the championship, this kind of overly cheering behavior makes Zhang Yifei can't help but be vigilant, does this little girl have any bad ideas?

After dinner, Zhang Yifei found a separate opportunity and said to Lu Ningping: "Uncle Lu, I plan to go back and modify the power system of EVO." ”
