617 GT Big Three (Extended)
"What's the matter, enemy?"
Zhang Yifei asked in a relaxed tone, and did not take the other party very seriously.
To put it mildly, even if the driver of this car is Schumacher, he can't completely crush Zhang Yifei as completely as he did at the beginning, which is the change brought about by the improvement of strength and status.
Today, Zhang Yifei has stood at the top of motorsports, and there are really few people who are qualified to pay attention to him.
"Almost, this guy's name is Loew Raldan, he is a Le Mans LMP2 driver, and the Toyota Racing Sports Center has brought in foreign players from France. This year, he joined the Toyota GT Team and won the runner-up title in his first all-Japan GT race. ”
"Because he is a French driver and is from Le Mans, he is very sought after and valued in Japan, and his personality is more arrogant and arrogant. I'm not used to this kind of person, so I have a bad relationship with him, and I almost did it. ”
(P3 of Le Mans in the previous chapter didn't match the background, so it was changed to P2.) )
"Oh."
Zhang Yifei heard Xie Tiancheng's explanation and nodded thoughtfully.
The 24 Hours of Le Mans, as one of the world's three major automobile races, has undoubted gold content, and its status and influence even surpassed IndyCar.
Like Formula 1, the 24 Hours of Le Mans is divided into different classes. The most important of this era are the LMP1, LMP2, and LMPGT groups of Le Mans.
The first two are the so-called prototype classes, and the familiar 24 Hours of Le Mans are the races of these two classes. The last one is the supercar modification group, such as Ferrari, Porsche, Aston Martin, Wuling Hongguang King (Chevrolet Corvette) and other supercars, all of which run in the GT racing group at Le Mans.
Among them, LMP1 is the most important group, equivalent to F1 in the formula, and LMP2, engine displacement and body size, are slightly weaker than the former, which can be roughly regarded as the F3000 level in formula cars.
Later generations also appeared in the LMP3 class, the power is similar to the LMP2 level, but the body length and aerodynamic package are shorter, and the downforce is relatively low, so the speed is slower, which can probably be regarded as an F3 level event.
However, compared with the FIA Formula F1, F3000, and F3 grades, the performance of the car is also directly inferior by a grade, and the gap between LMP1, LMP2, and LMP3 in the 24 Hours of Le Mans is not so obvious.
Japan is a country that worships the strong, and it also particularly admires Europe and the United States.
So it's no surprise that the Frenchmans, combined with the status of a Le Mans driver, are sought after by the stars in Japan. If the mentality is not indifferent enough, it is easy to drift, not to mention that European and American drivers have always had a sense of superiority.
Xie Tianche, this kid has a very gentle personality on the surface, but he is also a very determined person in his bones, and it is impossible to do anything to make stinky feet. So in the midst of a flattering voice, there is a Chinese who do not deal with it, plus it is still an opponent on the track, and naturally a kind of hostility is born.
"This gringo is very arrogant, do you want me to go down and teach him a lesson?"
Zhang Yifei said casually, he can be said to have quite a lot of experience in dealing with the ghost guy who jumps, and this kind of person can't get used to it!
"No, you can just sit in the car, I can solve it myself."
Xie Tiancheng said lightly, and then began to unbuckle the seat belt on his body and prepare to get out of the car.
Even if today's Zhang Yifei is indeed not what it used to be, there is no driver of the same grade in the whole of Japan. But Xie Tiancheng doesn't like to ask for help, especially on his own "turf", there is no reason for Zhang Yifei to help him do this kind of thing.
But just as Xie Tiancheng was about to pull the car door and go down, the roar of the engine sounded in the underground garage again, and a Nissan GTR stopped directly behind Xie Tiancheng's Honda NSX.
And after this Nissan GTR drove in, it directly caused applause and cheers from the underground drivers on the scene, which was much grander than Xie Tiancheng's previous treatment.
"It's Ide-kun's GTR! The king of GT in all Japan! ”
"Oh my God, what the hell is going on tonight, all three of Japan's top three GT drivers are here!"
"Ide-kun, Tiancheng-kun plus Raldan, are they planning to start a war on the shores of the bay?"
"Skuy! It's definitely a feast for the shoreline! ”
"I have a hunch that there will be a big battle tonight, even in the history of the bay shoreline!"
The street drivers at the scene began to cheer and scream, because the GTR was driven by this year's All Japan GT champion Yuji Ide.
He is now known as the King of GT in Japan and the second best driver in Japan, behind Takuma Sato, who entered the F1 Jordan team this year!
With the sudden appearance of Yuji Iide in the underground parking lot, the three strongest drivers in all of Japan's GT races were all present at the Wangan Line, which may have never happened in the history of the Wangan, which is really surprising and shocking.
Yuji Iide sat on the Nissan GTR and looked at the Honda NSX in front of him, with a strange frenzy on his face.
In front of the car, sat the strongest driver in Asia, Zhang Yifei, known as the Demon King of the Empire. Thinking that he could meet Zhang Yifei, or even have a fight, Iide Yuji couldn't suppress the excitement and excitement in his heart.
The reason is very simple, Zhang Yifei is the idol of Yuji Ide!
Maybe Zhang Yifei himself doesn't know that with his success in F1 and Indy, he has swept the entire Asian racing world, and many drivers regard Zhang Yifei as their goal and idol, and Iide Yuji is one of them.
So he has been paying attention to Zhang Yifei's whereabouts, and when he learned that Zhang Yifei got into Xie Tiancheng's car and drove on the bayshoreline, he did not hesitate at all, and went directly to the underground parking lot where the bayshore gathered.
Just as he expected, sure enough, Xie Tiancheng's Honda NSX stopped here, and if nothing else, Zhang Yifei was sitting in the car at the moment. I want to meet my idol soon, and Iide Yuji is a little trembling with excitement!
"Why did Iide Yuji come too?"
Looking at the GTR in the rearview mirror, Xie Tiancheng, who was about to open the car door, couldn't help muttering.
Raldan will appear here, in fact, Xie Tiancheng is not surprised, because this guy has always been at odds with himself. In addition to the battle on the track, he must also press himself for street racing like Wanshoreline.
Basically, when Xie Tiancheng's NSX appeared on the shoreline, someone would notify Raldan, and he would follow. So this encounter in the underground garage was not a coincidence, but Raldan came prepared.
This kind of thing has happened a few times before, resulting in Xie Tiancheng and Lardan on the coastline of the capital Gaowan and have also fought a few times, and the results have won and lost each other. However, in terms of the fastest speed, Xie Tiancheng is still slightly inferior, and it is true that Lardan Le Mans's professional experience makes him a little stronger than Xie Tiancheng in terms of strength.
But Iide is different, he has rarely appeared in Wangan this year, and has devoted himself to professional training. Because in addition to running all Japan GT races, Iide also entered formula racing and won this year's Japanese F3 championship title, which can be said to be a "double repair".
If all goes well, Ide will be jumping out of Japan next year to train more professionally in France, a stronger Europe, and also sign up for a French F3 event.
Historically, Iide's professional performance during this period was indeed very good, and in 02 he went to France and won the French F3 championship title directly, and since then he has become famous and is known as Japan's next F1 driver.
It can be seen that Yuji Ide's dreams and ambitions are definitely not satisfied with the results of the Japanese competition, and he yearns for a bigger world-class stage. Under this premise, there is naturally no time to run street races, so Yuji Iide has not appeared in the bay shore for a long time.
That's why, when Yuji Inide appeared, it would make the underground riders cheer and scream, and even Xie Tiancheng was surprised.
"Behind is Iide Yuji? A Japanese GT champion ready to pursue his career in formula racing? ”
Zhang Yifei also heard Xie Tiancheng's muttering, so he confirmed.
"Well, that's him."
Hearing that he didn't recognize the wrong person, Zhang Yifei couldn't help but laugh, he didn't expect that the god who had his super driver's license revoked in the formula racing industry would be able to see it with his own eyes today.
"What are you laughing at?"
For Zhang Yifei's laughter, Xie Tiancheng felt very inexplicable, is there anything funny about the Japanese GT champion?
"Nothing, I just remembered something very interesting."
Zhang Yifei hurriedly covered it up, after all, this is something that will happen in five or six years, and the current Iide Yuji is a top figure in the Japanese racing industry.
won several GT and F3 championship titles in Japan, if it weren't for Takuma Sato's rapid progress, in just two years, he developed from a newcomer to a Japanese F3 champion, and was also favored by the Jordan team and became an official F1 driver.
Perhaps the title of the first active Japanese driver will fall to the head of Yuji Ide in the back.
But even so, Iide's popularity in Japan is still high, and most Japanese fans believe that he has a chance to become a world-class driver.
Xie Tiancheng glanced at Zhang Yifei with a puzzled face, then pushed the car door and went down, without asking him what he was laughing at.
At the same time, the doors of the Toyota SupraGT and Nissan GTR were opened, and Raltan and Iide Yuji also got out of the car, and the top three GT drivers in Japan appeared in the underground parking lot of the Wangan Line at the same time.
I have to say that there is a kind of momentum in the strong man, when these three people stood up, the underground parking lot, which was still talking about the noisy one, instantly quieted down, and all the underground drivers looked at a few of them, curious about what would happen tonight.
Le Mans driver Lardan got out of the car and saw Yuji Ide, and a look of surprise flashed on his face. However, he quickly pointed the finger at Xie Tiancheng, and then said mockingly.
"XIE, ARE YOU AFRAID THAT YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO OUTRUN ME TONIGHT, SO YOU CALLED YUJI (ASPIRING ROMAN) OVER AS A FOREIGN AID?"
Xie Tiancheng and Iide Isaharu entered the underground parking lot almost one after the other, and it was difficult to have such a coincidence, so it was easy to think that it was discussed.
"You don't have the strength yet."
Xie Tiancheng replied in a very cold tone.
"How can I win you if I don't have the strength? Thanks, you really don't have a good memory, did you forget the scene of defeat so quickly? ”
Ralden had a mocking smile on his face, because the All Japan GT Championship had not been over for a month. Xie Tiancheng lost to Raldane at that time and became the third place, so he used this sentence to be sarcastic.
"Then it seems that your memory is not so good, and you have forgotten the scene of failure."
Xie Tiancheng replied, his meaning is obvious, in the all-Japan GT competition, Ralden is also not a winner, the champion Iide Yuji is still here today, where did he have the face to laugh at himself with this matter?
"Of course I haven't forgotten, but soon I'll win it back, and you can't win me!"
Raldan still didn't give up, and didn't take Xie Tiancheng's words seriously at all.
Because Raldan not only didn't take Xie Tiancheng in his eyes, but even Ide Yuzhi didn't take him seriously.
If it weren't for the fact that I had just arrived in Japan this year, I was very unfamiliar with the environment and was not adaptable, otherwise I would not have been able to win the title of All Japan GT Championship.
Raldan never felt that the Asian drivers had any strength, it was pure luck, and next year he will let this group of Asian rookies understand what is called a dimensionality reduction blow from Le Mans!
"Can't beat you? Then let's run and see who is stronger! ”
Xie Tiancheng doesn't want to fight with Lardan, as a driver, the best way to resolve grievances is to have a game.
What Xie Tiancheng didn't expect was that when he heard his request to have a match, Raldan laughed directly.
"NO, THE DEFEATED GENERAL HAS NO CHOICE, UNLESS YOU ASK YOUR HELPER YUJI TO RUN WITH ME."
Raldan came over today, in fact, he wanted to run with Xie Tiancheng, but when Iide Yuji appeared, he changed his attention.
Just as Xie Tiancheng wants to prove his strength with a victory, Raldan also wants to find an opportunity to crush a well. Next year's GT race is too far away, and Iide Yuji will not necessarily participate, and F3 is an area he has never set foot in at all.
Now the emergence of Iide Yuji is a great opportunity for Raldan.
Although it is not an official professional event, Wangan has a much greater influence in Japan than street events in other countries. As long as you win against each other, at least you can wash away the shame of losing to Asian drivers!
In the face of Lardan's decisive refusal, Xie Tiancheng's face was ugly, this year's first dish is the original sin, and he has no confidence to say anything if he loses.
What's more important is Xie Tiancheng, who has never been a mouthpiece, at this time he can only stare at the other party angrily, not knowing how to refute.
Seeing Xie Tiancheng's weak chicken appearance, Zhang Yifei sat in the car and couldn't help sighing.
This kid suffered a loss and was born twenty years early, if he experienced the edification of the Internet mouth cannon after 20 years, he could say a crooked reason if he didn't pay attention, and he wouldn't be choked by the other party without saying a word! .
