#570 - Audi R8
"It's starting!"
"The test has now begun!"
"Blicken Karga is driving the Audi R8, bursting from the starting line like a red lightning bolt!"
"Next, let's enjoy the prowess of Audi's entry-level R8 and the exceptional driving skills of Blicken Karga on the big screen!"
Thomas is passionately commentating on the test live!
It might seem a bit monotonous for the audience to simply watch the cars speeding on the track through the big screen!
However, with Thomas's humorous and incisive commentary, the audience is filled with excitement!
For example, when the Audi R8 takes each turn, he explains the stability it demonstrates and the driver's cornering technique!
As an automotive test host, Thomas can analyze the vehicle's performance in detail!
Furthermore, after seeing the vehicle's performance, Thomas can roughly estimate the car's capabilities!
"Three minutes have passed, and the Audi R8 has entered the ninetieth turn!"
"This is a very tricky corner, and the best way to navigate it is by drifting, which saves the most time!"
"Wow, as we can see, Blicken Karga's driving skills are truly extraordinary!"
"He's taking the optimal line, using a drifting technique to navigate the turn!"
"His cornering technique is simply a textbook example of the perfect angle!"
Through the big screen in the stands, the audience is closely watching every turn that Blicken Karga takes in the Audi R8!
The Nürburgring track has over 170 turns, many of which are very challenging!
For test drivers, navigating these turns in the fastest time requires a high level of skill and expertise!
"Not bad, Blicken Karga's technique is indeed impressive!"
"He's fully utilizing the Audi R8's maneuverability!"
Lu Haifeng nodded slightly after watching Blicken Karga's technique for a while!
He greatly affirmed the skills of this Fast F1 driver!
In his hands, the Audi R8 is like a red elf, speeding around the Nürburgring!
Lu Haifeng noticed that Blicken Karga's cornering angles and techniques were all optimized for the fastest possible time!
"Lu, I told you!"
"Blicken Karga is our Fast Supercar's star driver!"
"This year, I'll invest more capital into the Fast F1 team!"
"With Blicken Karga, we still have a great chance of winning this year's F1 championship!"
Hilton Fas is a big admirer of Blicken Karga.
After all, this driver brought the Fast Supercar brand an F1 World Championship trophy!
"By the way, Lu, Audi is now entering a phase of global expansion!"
"It's time to establish your own brand's racing team!"
"F1 and WRC rally racing are must-compete international events for every car brand!"
"Achieving good results in these events can have a significant impact on your brand's influence!"
Speaking of racing, Hilton Fas asked Lu Haifeng when he would establish his own brand's team to compete in these world-class racing events!
These events are a crucial platform for promoting the performance of your cars!
"I've considered this, and after I return from the States in a few days, I'll start preparing to establish my own racing team!"
"However, in the short term, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to achieve significant results!"
Setting up a team for international professional events is easy; if you have money, anything is possible!
However, achieving good results is not so simple!
First and foremost, the most important thing for a team is its core members, and a professional driver is not easy to cultivate!
F1 racing drivers have extremely high talent requirements, and it's very difficult to develop them!
Most drivers are cultivated by various brands over a long period of time before they can become championship drivers!
Racing is a very expensive sport!
To put it this way, building an F1 car costs over 100 million RMB!
This 100 million RMB doesn't include the costs of building the team, logistics, and the F1 car's maintenance!
An F1 car's engine needs to be replaced after only a few hundred kilometers!
This kind of money-burning game is not something that ordinary car companies can afford!
As for the other WRC rally racing!
This professional rally race, known as 'whoever lets off the gas is a son of a b*tch', requires flooring the accelerator!
While it's not as expensive as F1, the costs are still very high!
The saying that a set of WRC rally car suspension costs as much as a house is not just a joke!
Lu Haifeng plans to start building Audi's own racing team after he finishes his business in the States!
However, he can start scouting for potential drivers now!
"Old man, please keep an eye out for me recently for any drivers with high potential!"
"If there are any drivers with high potential, be sure to let me know!"
"I only want F1 and professional rally drivers; I don't plan to participate in other events for now!"
There are many professional car races in the world, but Lu Haifeng doesn't plan to participate in other races for now!
He will only participate in F1 and rally racing!
"No problem, I'll have the Fast team leader keep an eye out for you!"
Hilton Fas readily agreed to Lu Haifeng's request; these are minor matters for people of their caliber!
With just a word, their subordinates will take care of it!
Lu Haifeng nodded upon hearing that Hilton Fas would help him keep an eye out!
Then, he didn't say much more and turned his attention to the situation on the track!
Blicken Karga, driving the red Audi R8, used his superb driving skills and experience!
In the end, to everyone's disbelief, he directly secured a great start for Audi!
"Oh my god, the Audi R8 crossed the finish line!"
"Let's take a look at his time: 6 minutes, 57.23 seconds."
"Wow, that time is enough to rank in the top ten of the Nürburgring lap records!"
"Audi from Great Xia has achieved such a dazzling result in its first Nürburgring test!"
"This is enough to show that Audi's car-making capabilities have definitely reached the world's top level!"
