Automotive Black Technology Chapter 767: : Le Mans 24 Hours, the race begins!

Participating in the Le Mans Endurance Race made everyone in Zhengxin a little restless.

Although Zhengxin has developed rapidly in the past two years, participating in top events such as Le Mans and competing with other established automobile companies is still something that Zhengxin people dare not think about.

After the news of Li Fanyu's decision to participate was released, the public relations department of Zhengxin Group immediately launched a round of brand marketing for Zhengxin Audi based on this big news. In particular, Zhengxin Audi's newly established sports R series, and this time participating in Le Mans and competing for honor, the latest product of the R series, Jinya, has become the main publicity point.

On Zhengxin’s official website, the public relations department also conducted an interactive session to encourage fans and netizens to cheer for Zhengxin.

But what is embarrassing is that in the interactive questionnaire, the question was "What do you think the Audi R will achieve in Le Mans this time?"

Sixty-five percent of netizens chose the third option - "Just be brave enough to take the first step and leave the presence of Chinese car companies on the Le Mans track. The ranking does not matter."

As for the first item, "Zhengxin will rely on its deep technical reserves and vehicle stability to win the LMP1 championship." Only a pitiful 6% of netizens choose this option...

Well, it turns out that most netizens still think that Zhengxin will definitely lose!

When Wang Rui and others talked about this matter with Li Fanyu, Li Fanyu felt very angry.

Damn it! Why do you think I can't win?

Isn’t it because the participating vehicles are not ready yet? ! Isn’t it just that the three drivers don’t look very reliable? ! Isn’t it just the team’s qualifications? !

What are the other flaws?

No more!

Well, there is no advantage except these.

Li Fanyu was a little depressed.

Seeing Wang Rui and others gloating about their misfortune, Li Fanyu kicked him over and said, "Hurry up and get to work!"

While a group of people were laughing and working on installing the aerodynamic kit for the Le Mans prototype on the Jinsha R, he walked aside and thought about strategies and tactics.

Although he did not lead the whole process of Jinsui R, this model was determined very early, and Wang Rui's team spent considerable time and energy on it. During this period, he himself also put in a lot of effort.

So he is not worried at all about the performance and stability of this car.

Mainly the driver aspect is a big problem before him. Han Yue and Chen Chen are of good level, but they have not experienced the baptism of competition, so they are lacking in experience.

This is now, in his opinion, the biggest shortcoming of the team. Like other maintenance, refueling, etc., relying on Zhengxin's mechanics, although they cannot reach a particularly professional level, they should be not much different from other LMP1 teams.

And these two days, he is training mechanics to do quick maintenance, tire replacement and refueling projects.

So now when thinking about a competition, we still have to work **** the drivers. After some hard thinking, he decided to adopt the safer and the only way he could choose.

……

When Cheng Ke brought Han Yue and Chen Chen to Paris, Li Fanyu immediately familiarized the two with the performance of the vehicle, and started urgent make-up lessons to select some driving skills he inherited from Alonso that could be put into use immediately. , and it can be used immediately, I taught it once.

It’s useless to just teach driving skills verbally. Combining knowledge and action, in order for the two of them to improve in the shortest possible time, Li Fanyu took the opportunity to test the performance of the Jinya R on the track, allowing the two to integrate the skills they learned while becoming familiar with the performance of the vehicle.

In this way, in the midst of busy work, more than a week passed quickly.

On May 2, the opening ceremony of the 24 Hours of Le Mans was held.

This year's Le Mans is obviously as the media said before - it is a shrinking one.

Last year, a total of 29 teams and 54 cars participated, and the number of spectators reached a terrifying 260,000!

But this year, not only the number of participating teams has dropped to twenty, but also the number of participating vehicles has shrunk to thirty-eight. Even the number of spectators, which Le Mans has always been proud of and surpassed other international endurance races, has dropped sharply to 190,000.

That’s all, and that’s not to mention that Zhengxin Li Fanyu participated in the competition with Jinya R and attracted a part of the Chinese audience!

But precisely because of this, in order to restore the declining popularity of the endurance race, the opening ceremony of Le Mans was held as grandly as ever.

Including Vin Diesel, Dwayne Johnson, Goldstein and many other Hollywood stars. Sophie Marceau, Jean Reno, Zidane, Karim Benzema and other French stars competed to appear at the opening ceremony. Outside of the competition, it has greatly boosted the popularity of Le Mans.

In order to cater to Chinese audiences, Zhou Qingyu, who was filming in Paris, also received an invitation.

When attending the opening ceremony, whether intentionally or not, this supermodel, who is famous both in France and in China, wore a dress that perfectly matched the black and red livery of the Zhengxin Racing Team. . With a figure and appearance that surpassed all the actresses at the opening ceremony, Zhengshin attracted a small amount of attention.

But it’s just a small wave.

Zhengxin is doing well in the Chinese market, but outside the country, its popularity is still not very high. What's more, when the participating teams were introduced, Zhengxin's information showed that this was a new car factory that had only been established for two years.

The lowest level of attention is ignorance.

So, among the audience, except for some Chinese people with black hair and yellow skin, almost no one went to receive the small flag with the logo of Zhengxin Racing Team.

It was in this state of almost negligible attention that the opening ceremony ended and qualifying began.

According to the plan set by Li Fanyu, Han Yue, who has a calm driving style, needs to be driven at the beginning of the race. Maintain a score that is at least not bad in a stable state, and then switch to yourself after an hour.

So the ranking priority of the rolling start is very important to Zhengxin Racing Team. In order to compete for a better starting position, Li Fanyu must play in person.

It can be said that nearly forty racing cars are all aiming at the starting position!

The advantage of starting first is quite huge for a car race.

It feels like young people with similar conditions are pursuing a beautiful girl together. Whoever gets the girl's WeChat account first will undoubtedly be one step closer to hugging the beauty.

There is nothing to say. In the past two days, Li Fanyu has run no less than fifty laps on the 13-kilometer Le Mans track. It can be said that the terrain and track conditions are clearly understood.

After the qualifying session started, he used sharp maneuvers and an absolute lead to gain the right to start the first round.

By the way, it also broke the historical tenth lap time of 3 minutes and 21 seconds set by Alio Obaldi in 1992!

This time, it directly detonated the atmosphere!
