"Thank you, if I run a Japanese F3000 in the future, I will consider the suggestion of Suzuki's seniors."

To be honest, Zhang Yifei was really a little grateful at this time, after all, as a nobody, the other party is a senior figure in the Japanese car industry, and he is willing to take the initiative to help him recommend the formula team, which can be regarded as a great friendship.

It's just that Zhang Yifei has some thoughts and is embarrassed to say, he really thinks that the Japanese formula is weaker, since he has already run F3000, why is he still nesting in this small place in Japan? Of course, we have to run to the strongest Europe.

Even Toshio Suzuki himself, at his peak, joined the Larrousse team, went to Europe, and later returned to Japan to run Le Mans and Formula 3000 because of the defeat in F1.

Of course, he and Tsuchiya won the runner-up of the 24 Hours of Le Mans in '99, which can be regarded as a very strong strength.

After a few polite remarks, Toshio Suzuki went on to talk to the other Japanese drivers. After all, he simply felt that Zhang Yifei had potential, and Xie Tiancheng's recommendation did not mean that he needed to talk to Zhang Yifei about anything.

Since the other party has no idea of asking for help for the time being, Suzuki Toshio naturally won't be courteous or anything.

"Yifei, I know that you actually belong to the arrogant category, but it is not a bad thing to have the help of my master, at least within the scope of the Japanese formula, he has a certain right to speak."

"What about outside of Japan?"

Zhang Yifei looked at Xie Tiancheng, and asked with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

"You're thinking about events outside of Japan?"

Xie Tiancheng looked at Zhang Yifei with disbelief, he had heard that he had decided to run the equation, Xie Tiancheng had already felt that Zhang Yifei was very bold and risky.

However, Zhang Yifei is now half the success in a sense, after all, he has become a youth driver of the Toyota team, which has surpassed the vast majority of domestic karting drivers.

But how long has he been a youth driver, and he has begun to think about formula racing outside of Japan, should Zhang Yifei be confident or blind, is he really so arrogant in these years?

"It's not interesting to have a little fight in Asia, so why do you have to go to Europe to stir up peace. Anyway, thank you, buddy, I'll remember. ”

After speaking, Zhang Yifei put his hand on Xie Tiancheng's shoulder, and used the title buddy, from tonight, Xie Tiancheng has been defined by Zhang Yifei as a person who can be a brother.

Faced with Zhang Yifei's attitude, Xie Tiancheng also replied helplessly: "Forget it, you kid is the most special person I have ever met, I never know how bold you are, but I look forward to seeing the day when you succeed,"

"No way, who said that you have not experienced the education of socialist successors, if you have experienced it, you will definitely know that there is a famous saying that how bold people are, how productive the land is."

"People are not ruthless, they can't stand steadily......"

"I'm really convinced of you!"

Xie Tiancheng was directly made autistic by Zhang Yifei, and he originally planned to tie him up tonight, but he didn't expect it to be like this.

That night, because Zhang Yifei had to train the next day, Xie Tiancheng did not wait for Cinderella time to run a lap above the bay shoreline, but sent Zhang Yifei back to the Toyota youth training base.

"Then I'll go back first, and I hope to see you in the professional arena as soon as possible."

After speaking, Zhang Yifei waved his hand, pushed the car door and got out of the car.

"Don't worry, I'm going to try out the Nissan team soon, and I won't be too far behind you."

"We'll see."

Zhang Yifei didn't talk nonsense, turned around and walked into the gate of the training base, now the time has passed zero o'clock, and he will continue devil training tomorrow, he is indeed a little tired.

The next day, I trained as always, and when I was free at noon, team manager Junko Takeda leaned over and said to Zhang Yifei: "How do you know Suzuki's seniors, it's really surprising." ”

Yesterday, when Xie Tiancheng recommended to his master, Suzuki Toshio also called the Toyota team management by the way and asked about Zhang Yifei's trial results, and naturally he had to pass Junko Takeda, the team manager.

"Actually, I don't know each other."

"Not an acquaintance? So why did he ask the team management about your training results? ”

"I don't know, maybe it's because it's handsome."

Zhang Yifei said casually, the relationship was too complicated, and he didn't bother to explain.

And after more than half a month, I am relatively familiar with Junko Takeda, so it doesn't hurt to make a joke.

"Stinky boy, I'll be serious with you!"

Junko Takeda replied angrily, unlike those Japanese young drivers, among the youth drivers, Zhang Yifei and Hank do not have the feeling of little boys.

"I'm talking about serious, I just saw it for the first time yesterday, is this also an acquaintance?"

Looking at the helpless expression on Zhang Yifei's face, Junko Takeda was also a little speechless, since he didn't want to elaborate, he didn't continue to ask, but talked about another thing.

"At the end of this month, the second batch of drivers will come to the youth training base for trials, and as the number of drivers increases, we will strengthen the training in this aspect of simulated events."

"There's also the fact that the European Formula Renault will start, the team will send a driver to participate, and the selection method is to look at the results of the simulated event, and the winner will get a place in the European Formula Renault, so you have to prepare well."

"Next month, so soon?"

Zhang Yifei's previous estimate was that he would have to train for at least three months or more to participate in official events, but he didn't expect that there would be an event schedule in two months, and it was also a European Formula Renault.

"Well, according to the original plan, the team management decided to race again next year, but this year's results of your trial drivers exceeded expectations, so I joined early to let you race."

In fact, under normal circumstances, two or three months is not a particularly short time. The top kart drivers can run the junior formula in just a few months, and they can reach the F3 level or even the championship level in about a year.

Just like the current Japanese F3 champion Takuma Sato, in less than two years, the world has gone from a beginner kart driver to an F3 champion.

The stronger ones, such as Hamilton in the era before Zhang Yifei, signed with McLaren's driver development program at the age of 13 and became an official driver with F1.

Then he swept the Renault championship, the European F3 championship, the GP2 championship and so on, and then stepped into the F1 field.

So never use the eyes of mediocrity to see the speed of development of geniuses, they will exceed your expectations.

Toyota's management has the mentality that as long as the training results meet their expectations, it is enough for the drivers to go to the official races.

Of course, their psychological expectations are naturally much lower than those of European teams, and they do not require that they must run any good results, and it is good to be able to get the top three in the sub-station.

"No problem, I will definitely get this place!"

Zhang Yifei will be 17 in a few days, and he is a little late in running the formula at this age, but at least it is much better than the previous 16-year-old who only came into contact with karting.

Takuma Sato can run from a go-kart driver to a Japanese F3 champion in two years, Zhang Yifei feels that he has two lifetimes of experience, not to say that he is stronger than Sato, no matter how bad he is.

So he set himself the goal of winning the European F3 championship at least in two years, and enter the sight of the F1 team before the age of 19!
