Chapter 483 Longguo Automobile Is No Longer Industrial Waste!
"You're going to play soon. How are you feeling? Are you feeling well?"
MVP Team Garage.
Coach Wang Zhan looked at Zhou Yu beside him and asked thoughtfully.
The FIA GT Grand Prix is not a simple event, but is recognized as one of the four top racing competitions in the world. The racers and cars that can come here are all equipped with top-notch configurations.
Of course.
It also has no registration requirements.
But there is an unwritten rule, that is, vehicles of the same brand can only occupy one seat. To put it simply, if you drive a Ferrari, others cannot drive a Ferrari and must replace it with another brand of vehicle. This rule is perfectly circumvented. Homogenization.
After all, no one wants to turn on the live broadcast of the game and see Ferrari everywhere.
It is precisely because of this rule that the FIA GT Grand Prix is not only a competition between players, but also a competition between car companies.
Powerful car companies around the world will maintain a team in order to enhance their presence in top events.
"A little nervous."
Zhou Yu has been taking deep breaths to adjust.
You must know that there has never been a Dragon Country racing driver in the FIA GT Grand Prix, let alone a racing car produced by Dragon Country on the competition field.
In addition to the FIA GT Grand Prix, it is rare to see Dragon Country and Dragon Country vehicles in other top racing competitions. On the one hand, the cars are not good enough, and on the other hand, the people cannot integrate into the circle.
Regardless of the unscrupulous media that promotes Western tolerance all day long, the fact is that no matter which country you are in, there will be small groups and large groups. As an outsider, others will not sincerely help you integrate unless you have the value to be exploited.
When Wang Zhan heard this, he patted his shoulder and said: "You can't eat nervousness. F1 has already run away, not to mention this FIA GT Grand Prix. Besides, this time you have a performance monster like the Hurricane. As long as you perform normally, you will be guaranteed to be in the top three." of."
"Yeah, I'll try my best."
While Zhou Yu nodded in response, he looked at the hurricane at the pre-race maintenance station. In his eyes, it was simply a work of art.
The mechanics of the MVP team inspected the vehicles in an orderly manner, paying no attention to any detail to ensure that there would be no faults with the vehicles during the race.
…
Meanwhile, on the other side is the Ferrari garage camp.
Legendary driver Maxime Rossi was being interviewed by major mainstream media in the world. When asked what he thought of today's game, he smiled and responded lightly:
"Easy win."
These four simple words made the audience in the stands of the stadium excited.
Whether it is an F1 race or an FIA GT Grand Prix, the Ferrari team will always be the "star" that attracts much attention.
The reason why Ferrari can become a "limited purchase luxury vehicle" is largely because it has repeatedly won championships in top events.
It is not an exaggeration to say that if you ask a random passerby for an interview if he knows any participating teams in F1 or FIA GT Grand Prix, his answer will definitely be Ferrari, because Ferrari is a vehicle designed for competition.
"Wow."
Hearing Maxime Rossi's answer, the reporter who asked the question was surprised and asked: "Can you tell me what you think of double champion Geller Glover? Or, what do you want to say to him? of?"
Maxime Rossi put away his smile, his eyes flashed sharply, and he said the cruelest words in the calmest tone: "When I come back, there will be nothing left for him."
"Wow——"
The playing field was in an uproar.
In various live broadcast rooms around the world, barrages appeared rapidly.
"This is the confidence of seven-time champion Maxime Rossi. You must know that in the past two seasons, he injured his lumbar spine and was unable to participate in the competition. It is impossible for Geller Glover to win the championship!"
"Maxime Rossi is so handsome, I want to have children with him!"
"What a domineering declaration of war. It seems that today's game will be inextricable. I look forward to the showdown between the seven-time champion and the double-time champion!"
"Maxime Rossi is so good at pretending. He just relies on the performance of Ferrari cars. If Geller Glover is allowed to represent Ferrari, he will have nothing to do!"
"The competition is not just about vehicle performance. Fast corners are really fast. Who doesn't know how to hit the straight line? Corners are the moment to test your skills, and Maxime Rossi is the god of corners. Are you? You know how valuable he is!”
As a seven-time champion and representing Ferrari, Maxime Rossi naturally attracted all the attention.
As for Gallo Glover, who represents the Maserati team, although he is a double champion, due to Maxime Rossi's injury and absence, a large number of viewers feel that he is a picked champion.
The gimmick of the battle between old and new championships has attracted much attention to this FIA GT Grand Prix in Germany. At least 200 million people around the world are watching the live broadcast.
Since Maxime Rossi and Gallo Glover "sucked up" the exposure, other teams have not received media attention, even strong competitors such as Corvette Racing, BMW Racing, and McLaren Racing. It was simply scanned and no longer reported.
As for the Dragon Kingdom's convoy, they were simply ignored.
Maybe these Western media can't understand why, with the existence of the Dragon Kingdom racing team, Dragon Kingdom companies can build super sports cars?
Rebus, who was far away in the Dragon Kingdom, looked at his own team that had been completely wiped out, and there was no interview camera. He couldn't help but cursed: "I used to say that our friends and businessmen were slanderous, but now I think these media are also slanderous. Later, Fuck you to death!"
He takes life and death lightly and does whatever he wants if he doesn't accept it. This is his life creed.
Not only Rebus, Ren Guofei is also paying attention to this game.
Seeing that his team was being ignored, he immediately couldn't sit still, looked at Ren Wanzhou and said: "Go call the FIA GT Grand Prix broadcast media and ask them not to forget the 50 million investment."
"I'll do it right away."
Ren Wanzhou left the office.
"Hurricane" and Zhou Yu can successfully enter the FIA GT Grand Prix, which is indispensable for the operation of capital, and the capital parties behind them are Longxing Group, Kunpeng Company and Rice Company.
After some communication, the FIA GT Grand Prix broadcast media and reporters came to the MVP team garage and conducted a brief interview with Zhou Yu, which lasted less than 2 minutes.
Zhou Yu was not affected by the media reporters who came and left in a hurry, but instead aroused a fighting spirit.
Can’t Longguo Auto?
I’ll show it to you today!
As the driving force behind the scenes, Chen Xing looked at his own team that was being despised, and he was also holding back his anger. These media really didn't want to give the Longguo team a moment of footage. The reporters were even more routine. After interviewing the players, they didn't even take pictures of the racing cars. For a moment, this made him feel uncomfortable.
In the broadcast rooms of Longguo’s Douyin, Bilibili, Weibo, Huya and other platforms, millions of viewers were filled with indignation and anger.
"I'm talking about your grandma's Western media. They're not willing to let the camera take pictures of gringos. They only filmed us for two minutes, right? I masturbated for more than two minutes. It's so disrespectful!"
"I wonder who is still licking the West and talking about gentlemanly behavior? Is the moon outside still full now?"
"If you don't have the strength, you will be ignored. I hope the MVP team can beat Ferrari and Maserati!"
"The Hurricane
"Stop talking and crush me hard, thank you!"
Spectator racing is actually a very small thing in China, because the Dragon Kingdom team and Dragon Kingdom people are basically invisible.
Even in football, the Dragon Kingdom has a glorious history and has defeated island countries and peninsulas. However, the car competition has no trace of history. The reason is that industrial development is too slow to complete industrial upgrading in time.
However, as Chen Xing, Ren Guofei, and Rebus officially announced that domestic sports cars will participate in the FIA GT Grand Prix, this game also ushered in the peak of Dragon Kingdom's ratings.
In addition to the attention of Chen Xing and others, Longguo's friendly car companies and even Western car companies are paying special attention to this game. They all want to know what the three "stooges" of Longxing Group, Kunpeng Company and Rice Company have done again. What kind of black technology.
…
Berlin, Germany.
FIA GT competition venue.
As the time approached two o'clock in the afternoon, the three hosts and commentators also began to gradually introduce information about the participating teams.
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the German station of the 2016 FIA GT Grand Prix. Maybe many of my friends are watching our event for the first time. Let me introduce the rules to you."
Dorji Casso took a breath and continued: "The FIA GT Grand Prix adopts a points competition system. There are a total of 12 races throughout the year. The champion team in each race will receive 5 points, the runner-up 3 points, the third runner-up 2 points, and the remaining players It is 0 points. After 12 games, the team with the first place in points can take away 70% of the accumulated prize pool.”
"Let me introduce some more science here. Last year's FIA GT Grand Prix prize pool was as high as 3 billion US dollars!"
Of the total prize pool of 3 billion US dollars, the champion will take away 70%, which is 2.1 billion US dollars, equivalent to 12.6 billion dragon national currency.
Although the bonuses are generous, the expenses are also very exaggerated. The annual basic investment in raising a supercar team is nearly 500 million US dollars. If they cannot win the championship or become famous, many teams will actually be losing money.
It is said that the poor are interested in cars and the rich are interested in watches. This is not true. The top group of people who are interested in cars have a level of investment that ordinary people cannot imagine.
After Dorje Casso finished explaining the rules, his partner Femi Pitman immediately took over and said: "Then, let's give a round of applause to our last champion, Geller Glover, and his The Maserati MC 14!”
"Wuhu!"
"Come on Geller Glover!"
"Winning another crown this year, a triple crown!"
"Kill Ferrari, I bet you $50,000, I hope you won't let me down, kill Maxime Rossi!"
The audience in the stands kept cheering, and the veins in their necks popped out.
There are no restrictions on betting in foreign countries. Generally, there are certain amounts of money to bet on sports competitions, and the FIA GT Grand Prix is no exception. Many websites have closed at the moment.
For example, Ferrari's odds of winning the championship are 3 to 1, which means it costs 3 yuan to buy. If it wins, it will only pay you 4 yuan and make 1 yuan.
The Maserati team, which is also the favorite to win the championship, has odds of 2 to 1. Other teams, such as BMW and McLaren, have odds of 3 to 1, and some have 5 to 1. However, the humble MVP team from Dragon Country has odds as high as 1 Pay 15!
Of course.
In addition to simply guessing the champion, there are many other ways to play.
For example, will the Ferrari overturn, who can win the second place, and who will be in last place?
Under the cheers of the audience and the live broadcast camera, a sky blue, elegant and luxurious Maserati MC 14 slowly drove out of the team garage and merged into the competition track. The driver was Galle Glover.
"Ahhhh!!!"
“What a beautiful car!!!”
"Come on, Gayle Glover!!!"
The shouts came out again, and Galle Glover did not ignore them and directly stretched his hand out the window to say hello.
After showing off, I kicked the accelerator and drove to the starting line.
And at the same time.
Seeing the Maserati seated, Dorje Casso raised his voice several times and solemnly announced: "The next person is the legendary seven-time champion Maxime Rossi, and his Ferrari XXK, let the nightmare welcome him. return!"
"boom--"
As soon as he finished speaking, an engine sound like a roaring beast came out, and everyone in the stands turned their eyes to the Ferrari team garage.
When that iconic red color appeared, the whole place was in a state of excitement.
"Maxim Rossi!"
"It's Maxime Rossi!"
"Maxime Rossi! Maxime Rossi! Maxime Rossi!!!"
Almost everyone in the field was shouting "Maxime Rossi", and his legend has been deeply ingrained in the FIA GT Grand Prix.
Maxime Rossi did not give up the opportunity to express himself. After stepping on the accelerator, he leaned half of his body out of the car and kept waving his hands to the camera, seeming to tell the world that he was back!
While the two favorites were taking the spotlight, other teams also appeared one after another, and top luxury cars gathered on the track.
Dorji Kasuo glanced at the last team member on the list, looked at each other with his partner, and said solemnly: "MVP team, from the Dragon Kingdom, the driver is Zhou Yu, the record is zero, and his race car is Hurricane X."
This was the first time he saw a convoy from the Dragon Kingdom. In his impression, wasn’t the Dragon Kingdom a country where even food and clothing were a problem?
Can the Dragon Kingdom also have a fleet?
Can the Dragon Kingdom also build a supercar?
It wasn't just Dorje Cassel who was confused, his two partners, and all the global viewers watching the game were confused.
Longguo Auto is so strange!
They have heard of Japanese cars and Korean cars, but they have never heard of Chinese cars, which really makes them confused.
But the next second.
Hurricane X slowly drove out of the garage.
When it merged into the track and the camera captured its entirety clearly, everyone was stunned, because in terms of appearance alone, it has conquered the hearts of many people.
Every inch of the streamlined body is the ultimate pursuit of reducing wind resistance and pursuing beauty. The large-size air intake grille is like the huge mouth of a beast, and the 21-inch large-size tires also show its muscularity at all times.
"Perfect appearance design, this is simply a perfect design. I see American muscle and French elegance in it!"
"Is this a Dragon Kingdom car?"
"Incredible, oh my God!"
"It gives me the feeling of a black panther, with a sense of muscle and strength!"
Western viewers were exclaiming, while the viewers in the Longguo live broadcast room cheered when they saw their domestically produced cars on the scene.
Even the anti-fans of Longxing Group, Kunpeng Company and Rice Company have to put aside their grudges at this moment and cheer for Hurricane X, because it represents the country at this moment.
If it can win the top three in the FIA GT Grand Prix Germany, the Longguo Automobile brand will officially become famous around the world.
Zhou Yu's eyes showed determination. He knew that today's game was not only a test of his skills, but also an affirmation of Longguo Automobile. He was now playing for the country!
"bring it on!"
"Longguo Automobile is definitely not garbage!"
As the 12 participating vehicles gathered, the contestants all looked ahead and heard the sound of engines, waiting for the final shot.
"3!"
"2!"
"1!"
The moment the flag bearers on both sides made their starting movements, the starter in charge of firing pulled the switch, and with a "bang" sound, all 12 supercars roared and fired forward.
“Our total mileage for this race…”
Dorje Casso still wanted to continue explaining the rules, but when he saw the "black lightning" leading Ferrari by half a body, he couldn't hold back at all.
"Hurricane X!!!"
"Hurricane X!!!"
"The Hurricane
As he spoke, Hurricane X was already one position ahead, and its straight-line acceleration performance far exceeded that of other vehicles.
The audience in the stands were completely turned off, and they all showed incredible expressions.
"Longguo Auto actually accelerates faster than the Ferrari XXK from 0 to 100 mph. This is a super racing car built by the Ferrari Group!"
"Hurricane X, oh my God, oh my God!"
"Did you tell me how many seconds it took the Hurricane X to accelerate from zero to 100? My intuition told me that it only took less than 2.5 seconds!"
"No! It could be faster!"
"Oh my God, is this Dragon Kingdom Car?"
While the audience was amazed, the speed measuring equipment showed the starting speed. The Hurricane
Even though the difference is only a few tenths of a second, this reflects the performance of the vehicle in real time and is the simplest and most crude way!
Why among the many sports events, the 100-meter race attracts the most attention?
To play table tennis, you have to know how to play forehand, backhand, through ball, long rubber and so on.
If you don't understand these playing methods, just watch the table tennis match directly, and you will only be able to observe its appearance and not understand the ins and outs inside.
The same goes for gymnastics, diving, and shooting. There are countless tactics and techniques. People who don't understand can only take a rough look.
But the 100-meter race is different. It is the simplest, crudest and most intuitive sport that can show the limits of the human body. It is also the sport with the highest commercial value and gold content.
The simpler and rougher something is, the easier it is to be accepted by the public, and the same is true for the zero-to-hundred acceleration of a car.
The performance of a car is reflected in its acceleration from 100 meters to 100 meters.
The lead of Hurricane .
Dragon Kingdom's supercar actually defeated Ferrari in acceleration and straight line at 100 meters, and now it is one step ahead...
No!
Two positions!
The commentator Dorge Cassel was completely crazy. He shouted excitedly: "Hurricane
"Oh my god, this..."
"I bought it..."
His two partners were speechless.
They originally supported Ferrari to win the championship and then announced the return of the legendary car king. Unexpectedly, the appearance of Hurricane X added huge suspense to the game.
After five kilometers of straight-line acceleration, we came to the first corner, and all the drivers were fighting for the inside line.
Zhou Yu was in the first place and easily got the inside line.
Maxime Rossi and Gallo Glover competed for the inside position, and BMW, McLaren and other vehicles blocked the line.
"boom--"
After each sports car turned a corner, they quickly stepped on the accelerator.
Perhaps it was too far behind, but the Ford GT seemed to be in a hurry. It collided with the Mercedes-Benz AMG ONE while fighting for the inside line. The two cars instantly flew into pieces, lost control and hit the guardrail beside the track. They flew up and crashed heavily.
"Bumped!"
"Crash at the first corner!"
"Ford GT and Mercedes-Benz AMG are eliminated!"
Dorji Kasuo shouted excitedly.
There was a car accident at the first corner. This was an unprecedented accident in the FIA GT Grand Prix. Everyone was exclaiming.
However, only the players knew that the Hurricane
The safety car was quickly dispatched to guide the damaged sports car to a safe area, but this left a lot of debris on the field that could not be cleaned up.
This sudden accident made the already tense atmosphere even more tense.
After several consecutive turns, Hurricane X has surpassed Ferrari XXK and Maserati MC 14 by nearly ten positions.
The gap in vehicle performance caused Maxime Rossi, Gallo Glover, and other players to step on the accelerator, but found that they still could not catch up with the black vehicle in front. It was like a black lightning, making people unable to catch up. catch up.
One lap.
Two laps.
Three laps.
Zhou Yu drove more and more smoothly. He always paid attention to the vehicle's dashboard information to ensure that he could adjust the vehicle as soon as possible.
In the final few laps of the race, Gallo Glover's Maserati MC 14, Maxime Rossi's Ferrari XXK, and other cars all fell down one after another, hammering the steering wheels angrily with unwilling eyes.
The dashboard was all red and even the engine exploded. They still couldn't catch up with the leading Hurricane X.
Is it because their driving skills are poor?
No!
It’s the car that doesn’t work!
Their car lost in zero-to-100 acceleration, straight-line acceleration, and cornering stability!
"Am I reading that right? Ferrari and Maserati both had their cylinders exploded and collapsed completely. What happened?"
"Oh my God, it's horrible!"
"Hurricane X!!!"
"Wardfa, has Longguo Automobile reached this point?"
With all the opponents having their cylinders blown, only the Hurricane
Ford Group.
Ferrari Group.
General Motors Group.
BMW Group.
…
Mercedes-Benz Group.
These world-famous car companies finally felt a little afraid. Longguo could actually build a super sports car, and it could accelerate from 0 to 100 seconds in only 2.37 seconds.
Faced with the "lone show" situation, Zhou Yu was not proud, but continued to control Hurricane X calmly. He knew very well that he would only win if he crossed the finish line.
"Twenty laps to go!"
"15 laps to go!"
"10 more laps to go!"
shouted Dorji Castle.
There are no cars on the track, only Hurricane X is still running.
Debris and wreckage can be seen everywhere in the competition venue, but it does not affect the Hurricane
"Last lap!"
Dorji Kasuo shouted excitedly.
As Hurricane
“Crossing the line!!!”
"Hurricane X crossed the finish line!!!"
When Dolgi Caso finished speaking, the audience watching the live broadcast in Longguo, the CEOs of car companies, and even Chen Xing were all very excited.
Although this was only the first stop of the FIA GT Grand Prix, the fact that Hurricane X won the championship had already announced to the world...
Longguo cars are no longer industrial waste!
