Later, the FIA had three major world motor events, namely Formula 1, Rally WRC and World Touring Car Championship WTCC, like Le Mans, which were slightly lower.

The youngest of these three major competitions is the WTCC, because it was only officially confirmed in 2005, after various events such as the European Touring Car Championship and the World Touring Car Cup.

Before the official unification of the WTCC, the most famous event in the touring car industry is the DTM touring car race, the full name is the German touring car master, founded in 1984, it is the world's most successful and popular touring car event, and it is also the top touring car event in this era, which can be regarded as a reduced version of WTCC.

As for the title of developing drivers, it is necessary to start with the subdivision of the team, because a regular professional team cannot only have one or two official drivers on the field. It's like a team, and it can't just have players on the court, so the team also has the No. 3 driver, the reserve driver, the test driver, the development driver, etc., which is equivalent to the bench players and echelon players in the NBA.

Because the official racing race is not one, but divided into different stations, the championship team needs to run more than a dozen stations, and the team with the highest accumulated points will be the one.

After a long race, and motorsport is a high-risk sport in a sense, it requires some substitute drivers to back up. The substitute rider order priority is the third driver> the reserve driver > the test driver. The development of drivers is more like the echelon in basketball and football, and it is a youth driver trained as a reserve force.

But you must know that the DTM is already the highest level of touring car in the world, and before the WTCC appeared, it could almost be on par with Formula F1 and the WRC of rallying.

In the future, the strongest domestic professional racing is rallying, but it is also a gangster in Asia, competing in some third-level ~ events to win the championship, barely touching the second-level events, such as the WRC, the world's first level, no Chinese driver has ever entered.

The touring car race is similar, and even on the basis of domestic racing, the mix is even worse. Don't look at it, this is just a European RV development driver, and it is almost equivalent to a Chinese player entering the NBA Development League. Although he can't be considered an official player in the NBA, you can't say that he is not strong enough, at least in Asia.

Even in later generations, Zhang Yifei won the test driver position of the European team at the peak, but before he could officially join, he had already returned to 20 years ago.

"Which team in Europe did he join?"

"I don't know, it seems to be a rich man."

Regal Cars is the Volvo of later generations, but in the 90s, Hong Kong Island and Taiwan Island were all called Volvo Regal Cars. It's like Mercedes-Benz in this era, many people call it Mercedes-Benz, and Lexus calls it Lexus.

Is there a Volvo team in the DTM? Zhang Yifei put a question in his mind, after all, after 20 years, there are some things he doesn't know very well, the only thing he knows is that DTM can basically be said to be the paradise of German luxury cars, Mercedes-Benz, BMW, and Audi, the three brothers, basically rule DTM.

"Then why shouldn't he go to Europe to train in the Yuen Long team on Hong Kong Island?"

Zhang Yifei asked, since there is an opportunity to join the European team, it is natural to go to Europe for training and contact with the world's top drivers and events, so as to best improve himself.

It's like joining the NBA and the five major leagues, you don't go to the United States and Europe to play football, even the CBA and the Chinese Super League are not mixed, go to a municipal team in a certain provincial league, what is this head thinking?

"Then how do I know, these are all what Jeremy Lin told me before, he regards Wan Chai as an idol, or should I ask him?"

"No need, I'll ask someone else later."

Zhang Yifei rejected Lu Ningning's suggestion, after all, this kid is on the same level as rotten Zaiming in Zhang Yifei's heart, and he is also a rookie, but he is reluctant to gamble and lose.

Back at Uncle Lu's house, it was almost one o'clock in the morning, but unlike waiting for Zhang Yifei and them to go home before, this time Uncle Lu and his family had already slept directly, and it seemed that Zhang Yifei took Lu Ningning, and they were quite relieved.

went home to wash, just when Zhang Yifei was about to sleep, Lu Jingning suddenly ran over and grabbed him and said: "Zhang Yifei, why don't you run with the Wanchai car god, if you win him, you will be the most powerful driver on Hong Kong Island, and you will be the Hong Kong Island car god in the future!" ”

"Didn't my answer be clear enough? Not interested! ”

Of course Zhang Yifei knows what the girl is thinking now, she just wants to do something!

After saying that, Zhang Yifei was ready to go back to the room, and he had to get up early tomorrow to go to the club for training, but just as he was about to close the door, he turned around and said: "No, I have a question, you are Yifei's brother in front of outsiders, and no one calls me Zhang Yifei, this attitude changes a little quickly, what about the traditional virtue of respecting elders?" ”

"Cut, you're embarrassed to be an elder, do you love your child, you always bully me!"

"Damn, didn't I free you from Lin Shao's clutches, isn't this enough to love?"

"When did he reach out to me?"

"When you know that it's the devil's claws, it's already over, it's really a dog biting Lu Dongbin, you don't know the hearts of good people, sleep!"

After speaking, Zhang Yifei closed the door and stopped talking to Lu Ningning, it would be embarrassing to wake up Uncle Lu at night.

Early the next morning, Zhang Yifei still got up at six o'clock to wash, and then prepared to run around with Uncle Lu in the morning before having morning tea.

This is also what he has been accustomed to in the past half a month, and if he sticks to a lot of things, he doesn't feel that it is so hard at the beginning.

On the morning run, Lu Ningping asked while running: "How did you run with Xie Tiancheng last night, did you win?" ”

"Well, won."

"Is it overtaking in a compound turn or a triple hairpin turn?"

"Uncle Lu, did you run across the Quanjin Highway?"

Hearing Zhang Yifei's question, Lu Ningping laughed and said: "How can I have the leisure to run the mountain road, it's nothing more than coming to Hong Kong Island for five or six years, and I've passed by a few times." ”

"I see, I thought you were not old, and you were an invisible car god in Tai Mo Shan."

"Don't make fun of me, you kid, but then again, you can outperform Xie Tiancheng, it really surprises me, and you can enter the professional team."

"For sure, I also have the name of the Seven Star Mountain Bike God!"

Seeing that Zhang Yifei began to float, Lu Ningping knocked on his head and said: "Let me tell you something serious, today is just the weekend, several older students of the club will come to train, and you have been running the track alone for a while, so let's start the simulated race today." ”

Zhang Yifei has been training karting for more than half a month, and he basically runs laps alone for most of the month to overcome some technical defects and understand the driving style of karting.

After more than half a month, Zhang Yifei has improved a lot, and even reached the point where even Lu Ningping was surprised. Karting isn't a one-man lap race after all, if you want to experience the real atmosphere of the race, you need opponents to compete, and the weekend is just the chance.

"No problem, I've been looking forward to running a race for a long time, but they can't compare to my 250cc super kart."

"Who said you should drive a 250cc super kart, race with them, you drive a 100cc, they drive a 125cc."

"What?"

Zhang Yifei was a little surprised, 100CC is simply a children's toy for him.

"Otherwise, what do you think, hurry up and run to the tea restaurant, and hurry up today!"
