Racing competitions around the world are roughly divided into three mainstream parts. One is naturally the world's top F1 event. This event is known as the most technologically advanced and most expensive sports competition in the world. There is no one that is important to any team.
Generally speaking, they have to consider two big questions before joining F1. First, do you have enough money to burn this project? Second, do you have enough scientific research strength to ensure that you can not fall behind in this project?
?
In addition to F1, there is also the world-wide GT touring car race. This race has a wider coverage and involves more car brands, because its entry threshold is slightly lower. Compared with the purely aristocratic game of F1, the touring car race
It should be more or less civilianized.
The last one is the rally, such as the World Rally Championship WRC, which is very different from F1. First of all, F1 is a specific model, a specific track environment, and has extremely strict requirements for the track, but WRC is not. It stipulates
All participating vehicles must be production vehicles.
In addition to these three events, FIA also has a karting competition. However, karting has always been considered the kindergarten class of F1. Therefore, Zhang Wenhao is not interested in karting. As for these three major events, Dongchen has absolute advantages that other brands do not have.
The advantage is Dongchen’s technological strength.
Take WRC as an example. Dongchen's off-road vehicles with the same displacement, even if modified in accordance with the unified requirements of the FIA, have stronger power performance than other brands. The four-wheel drive system is more stable and scientific than other brands, and can better adapt to various types of vehicles.
Different road requirements, whether you use a c2 or s2 prototype or a modified car to participate in this kind of event. Dongchen's cars will be much better than other brands of cars.
As for F1, Zhang Wenhao is even more confident. The FIA requires the use of a 3.5-liter engine with more than 650 horsepower. Dongchen's manufacturing strength can make Dongchen's engine more powerful than Ferrari by at least 20%. Other technologies are also available.
It will be better than other F1 cars for an era.
Even Asan of India can acquire an F1 team and give it a vulgar name as "Force India". So why can't Dongchen directly create a team and directly apply to the FIA to join these three major leagues?
If Dongchen enters the world's three major car competitions, then I'm afraid the FIA will have a headache because of this, right? The rules they set are fair to the vast majority of participating manufacturers, but Dongchen has the ability to break these rules.
The balanced atmosphere created means that even if everything is manufactured in accordance with the requirements of the FIA, Dongchen's technical strength can be stronger than its opponents in any aspect.
Among engines of the same level, Dongchen has the strongest strength; engines with the same horsepower, Dongchen has the lightest weight; with the same aerodynamic structure, Dongchen has a better transmission system to match it. Once the FIA allows Dongchen to join this
There are three major leagues, so as long as Dongchen has first-class drivers, monopolizing the grand prizes in various events is not a big problem at all.
Entering F1 requires a lot of money, and money is no longer a problem for Dongchen. Dongchen has enough money to continue to burn in F1, and Dongchen has enough economic strength to ensure that Dongchen team does not need any
Advertising sponsorship, Dongchen has a huge advantage compared to any racing team, that is, Dongchen does not need to invest a penny in scientific research and development costs to develop any product.
Zhang Wenhao entrusted this matter to Dongchen Automobile's public relations personnel to communicate with the FIA. The FIA was alarmed by this situation just after receiving Dongchen's intention to join the three major events.
In terms of Dongchen's current strength in all aspects, Dongchen has the qualifications to participate in any automobile competition in the world, but what the FIA is worried about is that once Dongchen enters the three major leagues, it will completely end these three major leagues.
competitiveness and commerciality.
It is undeniable that Dongchen's current automobile technology has led the world in all aspects. If Dongchen wants to join any automobile competition, they have the hardware strength to surpass other brands and teams. This alone is the biggest difference.
The gap is fatal, and Dongchen has a lot of money. If they are really ambitious to enter the field of automobile competition, they can poach a large number of top drivers. Software and hardware are not a problem in front of them. So in this kind of competition, there are
Is there any fairness at all?
If Dongchen enters F1, the result may be a long-term lead and an absolute monopoly on the championship. By that time, other teams will lose the meaning of staying in F1. They spend a lot of money every year, but they can only come in and give one king.
Being a foil is a thankless task that only a fool is willing to do.
If Dongchen is refused to enter the automobile competition, then all events under the FIA can continue to ensure its fairness, but if Dongchen really comes, the balance of these events will be completely upset.
For the FIA, Dongchen is the company they least want to be associated with. However, the FIA has no way to directly reject Dongchen because they meet the participation standards they originally set in all aspects.
Come on, they don't have enough reasons to reject Dongchen. If they don't follow common sense and reject Dongchen categorically, then the negative impact on the FIA itself will probably be huge. After all, Dongchen now has a lot of influence in the world.
With so many supporters, by then, the FIA may be drowned in spittle.
Dongchen's early contact with the FIA was to know whether Dongchen was qualified to participate in the three major events. If so, Dongchen would invest immediately to build a professional team in accordance with the unified standards of the FIA.
The FIA discussed it for several days, but there was no defensible reason to refuse Dongchen's participation. In the end, the FIA approved Dongchen's qualifications in advance, believing that Dongchen's current R&D capabilities and financial capabilities were sufficient to participate.
However, in the next step, Dongchen needs to establish a professional team, with racing cars that meet FIA standards, drivers and logistics support teams that meet FIA requirements. After the team is established, once the team is established,
The vehicle and team have also passed the FIA review, so Dongchen can participate in next year's event.
Since a team is to be established, the development of racing cars has become a top priority. The GT racing car is not a big problem. Zhang Wenhao can just modify Dongchen's existing models. The same is true for rally racing. Dongchen's hatchback S1, cross-country
The entire series of models can be used as modification blueprints for modification, but the only ones that need to be redesigned and manufactured are the F1 racing cars.
In this regard, Dongchen issued a statement to the world. From now on, Dongchen will establish three teams to participate in the three international events of F1, GT and WRC under the FIA. All three teams are named after "Dongchen"
, and recruit top team managers, racing drivers, event technicians, and logistics support personnel from all over the world.
Based on Dongchen's automobile manufacturing strength, people in the industry have long speculated when Dongchen would enter the racing industry. However, they did not expect that it would all happen so quickly. Just a few days after the release of sc1, Dongchen
A preliminary application has been submitted to the FIA, and although the FIA is very upset about Dongchen's application, it still has no reason to reject Dongchen. Now, Dongchen has begun to build his own team!
No one doubts Dongchen's strength. As long as Dongchen has sufficient software strength, coupled with Dongchen's unparalleled hardware strength, its fleet strength will far exceed that of other companies in the same industry. For people in the industry, this news is not only
In addition to panic, many people also see opportunities. Many team managers have been frustrated. Either their owners have no money, or their owners do not have enough research and development capabilities. The same is true for many drivers. Drivers want to achieve good results.
, it cannot be achieved by excellent driving skills alone, the most important thing is that you must have a really good racing car.
Senna, who had a body car back then, finally joined the Williams team because he wanted to drive a better car. However, he was born at the wrong time. Just after he joined the Williams team, the FIA imposed restrictions on Williams.
The car was forced to adjust, causing Williams' car to lose its advantage and ultimately leading to Senna's death.
However, it can be seen that the drivers are not loyal to the team. They hope to be in a better team, drive a better car, and get a better ranking in the competition. This is just like Batty who played for Florence for many years.
Stutta, in the end, moved to Roma for a championship.
Not every driver can be like Schumacher and fight side by side with Ferrari, a top team. In the F1 field, each team can only have two drivers on the field at the same time. This also means that a considerable number of outstanding drivers
, without the opportunity to join a stronger team, they can only struggle in the second- and third-rate teams, but they have never had a suitable opportunity to prove themselves.
However, Dongchen intends to establish an F1 team. As soon as the news of joining F1 came out, many current F1 racers were very excited. If they had the opportunity to join the Dongchen team, they would win the championship with their own strength and Dongchen's superb technology.
The championship is no longer just an unattainable dream.
Like football clubs, there is no shortage of excellent talents in the industry. As long as you have enough strength and enough money, you can attract the favor of a large number of practitioners even if you start from scratch. People like Dongchen who have already
For companies with strong hardware capabilities, no one in the world will doubt that they have the ability to build the best F1 racing car in the world.
In just a few days, Dongchen received a large number of private invitations to join the team from team managers, drivers and other personnel. More than half of the mechanics of the Force India team invested by Indians were even willing to join Dongchen collectively.
Judging from this situation, it should be very easy to build all three teams this year. (To be continued...)
