The terrain that needs to be passed in the competition is much more complex and difficult than that in ordinary rallies, and the participating vehicles are all real off-road vehicles, not modified cars in ordinary rallies.
Most stages of the rally are far away from the road, in no-man's land with complex and steep terrain. They need to pass through sand dunes, mud, grass, rocks and deserts. The distance traveled by the vehicle every day ranges from a few kilometers to hundreds of kilometers. The entire race process
It is extremely difficult and dangerous, and every year nearly half of the drivers give up the race either due to car failure or for safety reasons.
The entire race lasted for more than ten days, all of which were driven on complex and dangerous road conditions. In addition to requiring drivers to have strong physical strength, endurance and psychological quality, the requirements for racing are even more stringent. Almost all
Cars will encounter various malfunctions and problems during the race.
Behind every participating vehicle, there is a large logistics support and maintenance team to perform timely repairs when the participating vehicle breaks down or is damaged.
Being able to win the Dakar Rally, an extremely difficult competition, is a huge affirmation for the participating vehicles themselves.
This is also the reason why Chen Mo chose Dakar.
Moreover, the vehicles that participated in the Dakar Rally in the past were basically heavily modified off-road vehicles. Although it can prove the strength of the car company itself and increase the popularity and influence of the model to a certain extent, it is not the original version after all.
Mass-produced cars have a limited effect on promoting model sales.
However, Chen Mo does not intend to make any performance modifications to the Cavaliers and will directly use ordinary production cars to participate in the competition.
The rider's chassis height is very high and can be adjusted automatically or manually according to road conditions. Its off-road capabilities are only stronger than those of heavily modified off-road vehicles.
If the unmodified mass-produced model wins the championship in this most severe off-road challenge, the publicity effect for "Knight" will definitely be much stronger than the hundreds of millions Chen Mo spent on publicity.
"Mr. Sainz, I now officially invite you to join our Aegis team and drive the Cavalier to participate in the Dakar Rally next month."
Chen Mo looked at Carlos Sainz seriously and said solemnly.
"Of course, I have no reason to refuse. It's an honor to join the SHIELD Team, my boss!"
Hearing Chen Mo's solemn invitation, Carlos Sainz couldn't help but smile on his vicissitudes of life, stood up and said.
Chen Mo also stood up from his chair and smiled and extended his right hand towards Carlos Sainz, the first driver of the Aegis Racing Team and a veteran in the race.
"Welcome to join us, Carlos!"
The two people's hands were tightly held together.
…
Since Su Wan was busy with the construction of the industrial park and advertising, Chen Mo planned to leave the matter of establishing the Aegis team to Anna. Before her arrival, Chen Mo asked Carlos Sainz to use his personal connections to contact some people.
Excellent engineers and maintenance technicians, as well as core personnel of the fleet logistics team such as medical, communications, and information technology.
Carlos Sainz originally intended to form his own team to compete in this Dakar.
Having been in the racing world for many years, and having competed in the Dakar for ten consecutive years, Carlos Sainz naturally has many acquaintances, many of whom are leaders in his industry, and he already has the strongest lineup in mind
list, but it’s not easy to collect them all.
The top talents naturally have the top values. Even if Carlos Sainz can persuade them to switch jobs and join his team, he does not have enough financial resources to pay them the remuneration they deserve, so Carlos Sainz initially
What I plan to implement is another "best value for money list".
However, with the support of Chen Mo, a super rich man, Carlos Sainz no longer needs to consider the issue of money. All personnel can follow the optimal plan in his mind, gathering the best and most experienced personnel to form
A top team that is not weaker than any established team!
After discussing the formation of the team in detail with Chen Mo in the office, and receiving Chen Mo's promise not to worry about money, Carlos Sainz left the company with excitement and high ambitions, and began to contact relevant personnel.
Of course, he is only responsible for the recruitment of relevant personnel in the early stages of the formation of the team. Once Anna is in place, she will be responsible for the recruitment of these personnel and the related administrative management of the team. Carlos Sainz only needs to give recommendations.
Anna will take care of the list and his own needs, and he can put all his energy into preparing for the upcoming Dakar Rally.
…
The "Knight" advertisement was produced, complete preliminary preparations, and a huge amount of advertising money were spent. That night, American TV, Internet, LED screens in major cities across the country, and other media all began to broadcast it on a large scale.
.
The three-minute-long advertisement can be considered a wealthy person, making countless people shout "tycoon". The content of the advertisement even makes countless people amazed. Real gun battles, fierce wilderness pursuits, brutal collisions at high speeds, almost all of them are the first time.
Everyone who saw this advertisement thought it was a movie trailer, and they were all attracted by this intense and exciting scene.
"Holy crap! This is a Vulcan cannon! It's so powerful, it fires heavily when it comes up! The car in front will definitely be blown up in minutes!"
“Sit back and watch the fireworks!”
"Huh? The car windows can also pop out the flaps. It seems like this car is special!"
"It was hit by so many bullets, but it only lost some paint. Is this car turned into a tank?"
"This chase scene in the wilderness is so exciting!"
"This driver's driving skills are so good. Please tell me it's Schumacher who's driving!"
"Is there a new Fast and Furious sequel?"
"No, I think this is the new 007 movie. Bond has a new car!"
"It must be a very human trafficker! Did you keep running away without looking at the car in front of you? And he has great driving skills!"
"This car looks so familiar!"
"What you said is a bit..."
“Isn’t this the super bulletproof car that costs five million dollars a piece?!”
"What? You said this car exists in reality?"
…
As they watched, people not only admired the excitement of the scene and the powerful performance of the car, but also gradually discovered that something was wrong.
"This camera seems to have been following the car. There is no camera switching in the middle. The entire scene is in one shot!"
"Which director is so awesome and dares to shoot like this! How many times has this failed? And how much does such long-term special effects cost! Is it necessary to do this?"
