Chapter 220: Submission

Ross Brown looked at the title of the document in surprise, he couldn't believe what he was seeing, he hurriedly turned the second page, and the first picture that caught his eye made Ross Brown have to believe what he saw. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Ross Brown glanced at Zhang Guan secretly: "How can he have this thing?" This thing, even if I have just entered the design stage, I have not revealed my idea to anyone, and the news is absolutely impossible to leak, how does Zhang Guan, a layman, know? Could it be that someone else also thought of this design? Who is it? Nuvey? ”

The first person that came to Ross Brown's mind was Red Bull Racing CEO Adrian Newey, the man known as a legendary car designer, the only person in the world to have led three different teams to world championships, and the future Sebastian Vettel's four-time World Championship in a row was driven by Newvey's car.

"Zhang Guan was sent by other teams to test me? No, the possibility is not too great, the Honda team is gone, and other teams can't come to test me, if you want to test it, it's also to test Ferrari or McLaren, Honda team, a team that has been disbanded, how can someone come to test it? Ross Brown looked at the contents of the document again, confirmed that it was the design he had conceived for a long time, and looked at Zhang Guan more and more puzzled.

"Strictly speaking, this kind of design belongs to the loopholes of the rules of the International Automobile Federation, even people who are very familiar with the rules of the International Automobile Federation may not be able to think of these, how did Zhang Guan know about this design?" Ross Brown thought to himself.

On the document, the words "double-layer diffuser" made Ross Brown feel particularly glaring at this time.

"The diffuser, by creating a complete airflow pressure difference between the surface of the car body, obtains downward downward pressure and presses the body against the road surface. The diffuser is one of the main sources of downforce in Formula 1 cars, and it generates 40% of the total downforce of the entire body. Zhang Guan spoke gradually, observing Ross Brown's expression.

Downforce is crucial for Formula 1, which is inherently lightweight, so if you don't have enough downforce, the car will be unstable when driving, especially in corners. At the same time, downforce gives the tyres more grip, which makes it easier for the car to get fast acceleration.

As a team, of course, to do everything possible to increase the downforce of their cars, and in recent years, a series of changes in the rules of the FIA, in fact, are aimed at reducing downforce, the FIA hopes to reduce the downforce of the car, so that more overtaking appears on the field, but also make the car more beautiful.

On the other side, Ross Brown had a look on his face that pleased Zhang, and he continued: "If you design the central diffuser groove of the diffuser as a double layer and add a V-channel at the top, you can use the airflow that would otherwise be lost through the diffuser at the rear of the car to give the car extra downforce. Am I right? Mr. Brown? ”

"That's what it looks like in theory. But there are also adjustments to the tail end of the car. Ross Brown said unhappily because his secret design was revealed by Zhang Guan.

"But I don't think it's enough to just have a double-layer design, if we can make a small hole in it......" Zhang Guan smiled even more, and he continued: "I mentioned it on the fourth page of this material. ”

Ross Brown flipped to page four, and the picture on it surprised him again.

"The method of opening holes, I just guessed, has not yet entered the substantive design stage, how would he know!"

Ignoring Ross Brown's surprise, Zhang Guan continued: "We made a small hole in the double-layer diffuser, and the air flow would lead through the waist to the important channel of the diffuser, and after converging with the thorough airflow, it would create a low air pressure in the parking space, thus greatly increasing the efficiency of the diffuser. ”

"This design is theoretically possible, but in practice it is against the rules! According to the rules, the bottom of the car cannot be opened. Ross Brown said right away.

"That's not a violation of the rules, it can only be regarded as a loophole in the rules. The International Automobile Federation requires that holes are not allowed to be made in the bottom of the car, although the diffuser is installed at the end of the bottom of the car, but we can also think that it is installed on the side of the rear of the car, and the latter is not considered the bottom of the car! It's just a reasonable use of the rules, isn't it? Mr. Brown? Zhang Guan looked at Ross Brown.

"He's really blind, he's really familiar with these, and he can even find loopholes in this rule!" Brown leaned back on his couch.

When Ross Brown said "breaking the rules" just now, he was actually deliberately probing, but when Zhang Guan said "reasonable use of the rules", Ross Brown was already convinced that Zhang Guan was prepared.

Zhang Guan was of course prepared, he prepared a lot for this negotiation, he even went to learn the aerodynamics of the car, and also carefully read the rules of F1, coupled with his memory, finally came up with such a thing as a double-layer diffuser.

Of course, the double-layer diffuser drawn by Zhang Guan is still far from being actually used in the car, so it takes countless experiments before the finished product appears. But racing cars, as long as the design concept is proposed, the final product can be designed.

Zhang Guan continued: "I think this design can help a team win next year's annual championship, Mr. Brown, what do you think?" ”

"That's true." Brown nodded, and he took a half-sip of his teacup, but in fact he already knew that he had fallen into the disadvantage of this conversation.

For Ross Brown, the double-layer diffuser is his killer feature, and before the Honda team announced its withdrawal from F1, Ross Brown had already started some research on the double-layer diffuser, so when the Honda team announced its retirement, Ross Brown was not in a hurry, because his design could build a top-class race car in any team.

Formula 1 is one of the most cutting-edge sports in the world, any small hole in the car, any angle of the fins, all involve aerodynamics, may affect the speed of the car, and the rules for any small hole, any angle, are as strict as possible. So don't look at it as just a double diffuser with a small hole, but it's just such a small difference that is enough to bring an earth-shattering change to Formula 1.

And now, this design is not only in the hands of Ross Brown alone, but also by Zhang Guan.

"Mr. Brown, together we bought the Honda team, we fought for the number one in the world with this new design, we conquered the world with this new design! This is exactly the purpose of my search for you today, and I sincerely want to cooperate with you! Zhang Guan stared at Ross Brown and continued: "Of course, if Mr. Brown really doesn't want to cooperate with me, then I can only take this design and talk to other teams in exchange for an official driver position!" ”

If the first few sentences are Zhang Guan's statement, the latter can be said to be Zhang Guan's threat.

Ross Brown knew that if the design fell into the hands of Ferrari, it fell into the hands of McLaren, it fell into the hands of Renault...... Even in the hands of an independent team like Red Bull, it only takes them two or three months to conduct wind tunnel experiments to find the perfect car configuration and design a car that is the fastest. With four months to go until next season, four months is enough time for some of the world's best car designers to pull off a stunningly impressive race car!

Ferrari and McLaren may not give him a place as an official driver because of a design, but Red Bull Racing can't say for sure. Although Red Bull is rich, after all, it is an independent team, and Red Bull's performance has been tepid in recent years, and this design that can allow Red Bull Racing to enter the ranks of the championship, coupled with the advertising effect brought by Zhang Guan's strongest athlete in the world, has a great possibility to impress Red Bull.

Ross Brown took a deep breath, he still wanted to rely on the design of the double-layer diffuser to make a turnaround, how could he let this thing fall into the hands of others, so at this moment he had no choice, he had to cooperate with Zhang Guan, or he had to give in!

However, there was one question, which was the most important concern for Ross Brown, and he asked: "Mr. Zhang Guan, if we cooperate to buy the Honda team, who will the team listen to?" Is it decided according to the distribution of shares? ”

"The distribution of equity can be discussed slowly, but I can assure you first that no matter what the proportion of equity between us, all aspects of the operation of the team, of course, are decided by you, including me, and will also follow your arrangement." Zhang Guan said immediately.

Ross Brown, an old guy who has been in Formula 1 for decades, has first-class connections and experience, and Zhang Guan knows nothing about the team management department, so even if he fully controls the team, he can't find a second person who is more suitable to take charge of the team than Ross Brown.

Ross Brown nodded with satisfaction, he had been a wage earner for half his life, and now he had the hope of being the boss, and the partner also said that he would listen to him, which was the best condition he could get.

"But I'm probably going to get some sponsors, you know, I've got quite a few sponsors, and I think a lot of them should be interested in sponsoring the world's top motors." Zhang Guan continued.

"That's no problem at all, even if you paint the car with a logo, I don't have a problem." Brown said cheerfully. After all, he is also one of the owners of the future team, and he also contributed money, so he naturally hopes that the more sponsors the better.

"Of course, you have to guarantee me the number one driver. I don't want to buy my own team, but I want to be a test driver! Zhang Guan added with a smile.

"Of course the team owner will be the team's number one driver. But Mr. Zhang Guan, I still hope that you can prove your ability in racing. I don't need you to be at the level of a top driver, you just need to be at the level of a normal driver, even if it's a little bit worse, and that's acceptable to me. Ross-Brown said bluntly. Now he has begun to think about the interests of the team.

"You're such a qualified team CEO!" Zhang Guan laughed.
