Automotive Black Technology Chapter 1190: : I want to be your navigator!
www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of automotive black technology!
The outside world does not know that Zhengshin is developing a new model, but Zhengshin’s participation in the Dakar Rally has been revealed by the organizers of the event.
It is no exaggeration to say that the Kadar Rally is the most attractive car rally event in the world. In the past ten years, every Dakar has attracted the attention of 500 million viewers around the world.
But something is different this year.
Previous droughts in Africa have caused disputes among countries, and conflicts and frictions between countries have continued to escalate. Such friction and conflict have seriously affected the safety of the competition schedule. In addition, the Dakar is hosted by France, and France has recently been affected by African KBism. Therefore, since 2009, the Dakar has abandoned the African land that has hosted the event for many years, and instead invested the competition venue in South America.
The changes in the playing field caused a series of chain reactions.
Although the race schedule is safer, the greatly shortened race distance and the same race scenes have caused the race to lose a considerable number of spectators and participating drivers.
After all, after moving to South America, even the venue is no longer in Dakar, so this historic automobile event is not worthy of its name.
This makes the competition very worried.
So this year, after careful consideration, the event organizers decided to return to Dakar.
In order to bring the waning popularity of the competition back to its peak, in order to cope with this change, a few months before the start of this year's competition, the competition team began large-scale publicity and non-stop efforts to create topics around the world.
For example, TSL previously sponsored the VC-Deep team, which will drive the world's first pure electric off-road vehicle to participate in the Dakar, and the event team spared no effort to promote this matter.
The reason for such publicity is that RP, a pure electric model, participates in the competition to add fresh elements to Dakar, a traditional event with a long history. On the other hand, the competition team also wanted to use this topic to increase the attractiveness of the competition.
You must know that this attraction includes both drivers and spectators. As for why we have to take such painstaking efforts in publicity, there is only one reason - money.
Dakar has a low threshold, and a large number of amateur drivers and even racing enthusiasts will come and get involved if they know you have money.
Excluding advertising and broadcasting copyright fees and other income from the event group, the registration fee for the Dakar alone is more than 10,000 euros, and the registration fee for the truck group is even more than 20,000 euros. A car that meets the requirements of the Dakar competition must be modified with a mass-produced car worth at least 600,000 yuan. In addition, a backup team must be found to provide various services during the competition.
Just for the registration fees and the expenses incurred by the support team during the game, the tournament side collected tens of millions of euros. Such a profitable business must be properly speculated;
“Battle of Old Enemies: Zhengshin VSTSL! The Kadar racing team officially confirmed today that Zhengshin will participate in this Dakar Rally. The participating models have not yet been confirmed, but according to people familiar with the matter, Zhengshin is currently working hard in the field of electric vehicles. Perhaps influenced by the TSL pure electric off-road model RP, a pure electric off-road competition model will compete! At that time, there will be a hot scene of two pure electric models competing on the same stage! ”
Mashin's international reputation has now skyrocketed. In addition, the topical heat caused by the Fukushima power plant leakage incident has not dissipated yet. It is a good hype element in itself. Coupled with the competitive relationship with TSL, Zhengshin's participation in Dakar will naturally be a big publicity.
As a result, Zhengxin’s car has not yet been developed, but it has already become a hot topic over there.
Netizens have shown considerable enthusiasm for Zhengxin’s expedition to Dakar;
"The day we have finally waited for! Zhengshin won the championship at Le Mans, achieved good results in WRC, and saw that this FE championship is also within his grasp. Now he has finally extended his tentacles to Dakar!"
"Hey! I love how strong Masashin is. It seems that he has completely fallen in love with TSL. After finishing the FE abuse, he is now going to Dakar again!"
"A bunch of noobs, you guys know me. Let me tell you the real reason why Zhengxin is participating. TSL's main battery supplier is Panasonic. Basically everyone knows this. But Panasonic Electronics picked up a car next to Tiancheng You haven't heard about the battery production base, right? This is because Zhengxin is determined to fight with Zhengxin, so Zhengxin participates in Dakar this time to prove that his battery technology is unparalleled in the world. It’s TSL, but in fact, this time Zhengxin is going to Panasonic!”
"Oh, after what the person above said, why do I still smell some of the **** smell of the world?"
"Nothing wrong. They say that it is not the car companies themselves that can influence the future pattern of the automobile industry, but first-tier OEMs like Panasonic. This time Zhengxin will work hard upstream and fight with Panasonic, that's fine."
"Compared with the twists and turns that you are paying attention to, I am more interested in what Zhengxin's new models look like. According to Zhengxin's past behavior, the models participating in the competition will be directly handed over to the high-performance R&D department for production. Yes, it’s very cool. As far as I know, the high-performance R&D department has not produced the first off-road vehicle of X-car. It’s exciting to think about it!”
"LSSB, as far as you can afford it, yes,"
"..."
Amidst all the turmoil, the research and development progress of Zhengxin X-CAR Juque is proceeding at a rapid pace.
Because Wang Rui’s team already had a reliable power solution, Li Fanyu let him have his way and started thinking about participating in the competition.
Participating in a race of this level like Dakar requires too much maintenance, so you need to bring too many things. Taking into account the changes in the schedule and traffic conditions, Li Fanyu planned to go directly to save trouble.
He is going to buy a plane.
Not to mention the need for competitions, I travel back and forth frequently at home and abroad. I don’t have anything to do with myself. It’s troublesome to buy plane tickets all the time. It’s better to take advantage of this time and do it directly.
Buying an airplane is different from buying a car, which is quite troublesome. In addition to communicating directly with the manufacturer about prices, delivery times, and after-sales maintenance, you also need to submit a purchase application to the State Administration of Civil Aviation and then go through the messy procedures of air traffic control.
There was no need for such trouble when Li Fanyu came here. He directly **** the relationship and purchased it through Hainan Airlines, which saved a lot of time and energy.
But it was his own daughter who gave him a headache.
"My aunt, it's not like you don't know Dakar, where people die almost every year. You're a girl, why are you just joining in the fun?! Besides, you know Southeast Northwest? Such a long-distance rally does not even have a specific route. During the race, the driver is only responsible for driving. The information on the race and stage depends entirely on the feedback from the navigator. This is almost as important as the eyes. You said you have never done this. What should I do if I mess up this matter? I'll be caught blind in the desert?"
Li Fanyu scolded him angrily.
"I don't care, I must be your navigator!"
During the phone call, Cellululu lost her temper.
