money trouble

Chapter 250 Ah San has an F1 team!

Jingle, clang.

The tableware in the hands of the "three lowly guests" fell one after another, and they were surprised, but they looked at Wu Qian like a fool. They once thought that the very good and calm young friend of the Tianchao was so stupid.

"Wu...are you kidding? No...you don't look like a joke, are you crazy?" James May said sadly: "How could that ancient castle be so valuable, oh cock! If you want to buy a castle and Let me tell you in advance, I have an old colleague who switched careers to be a real estate agency..."

While talking, James shook his head and his long hair swayed from side to side. Fortunately, there was no dandruff, otherwise this meal would not be edible.

Jeremy and Hammond glanced at each other, quickly picked up the cutlery from the dinner plate, said "sorry" very fast, and then buried their heads in eating. They sprayed too much hate just now, and the atmosphere was very embarrassing.

Wu Qian sighed with a smile, and said: "Don't mention it, I was deceived by unreliable news. The Italians said that there is a treasure in Leeds Castle. It is true. I found a painting by Sandro Botticelli in the castle. The British Museum is willing to pay 400 million pounds for the original oil painting, and welcomes it at any time. It can be regarded as a consolation prize for buying a pack of scratch-offs.”

The painting is worth 400 million pounds, plus the estimated value of 2500 million pounds Leeds Castle, 6 million becomes 2900 million pounds... In this way, it is still possible to talk and laugh, well, this mentality is also awesome, the "three scumbags" all think so.

"All of Sandro Botticelli's oil paintings are worth less than 6 million pounds. Wu, I feel sorry for you. I will put water on the car in the afternoon." Jeremy said, with a very "sad" expression on his face The expression on his face was drawn so long that it almost fell into the dinner plate.

"Come on, gorilla, don't hold back if you can't hold back, laugh if you want, it's not good to hold yourself back and have a stroke! After a stroke, you can't even ride in a car, let alone drive!" Harmon De Tiao laughed.

Jeremy really didn't want to laugh, and Hammond was just adjusting the atmosphere. Only the people of his own country know how valuable the country's currency is. 6 million pounds is definitely an astronomical figure, let alone a generation, even five generations. Worry about food and clothing!

Wu Qian took the initiative to steer the topic away, and didn't talk about the Leeds Castle anymore. If he talked too much, he was afraid of showing his feet. Now is not a good time to announce it.

After eating, Wu Qian and his party set off towards the Silverstone Circuit.

Silverstone has its own illustrious history, being the first circuit to host the British Grand Prix and the first to host a Formula 1 race.In the previous F13 held at Silverstone, Ferrari is the biggest winner, with a total of [-] victories.

There are too many stories that happened on Silverstone Circuit. The car king Schumacher and the car god Senna have all had interesting things happen here.

Michael Schumacher was injured only once during his illustrious career, during the 1999 British Grand Prix at Silverstone.

At that time, on the second lap of the race, when Schumacher was trying to overtake his teammates at the corner, Schumacher's red Ferrari lost control due to a brake failure of the car. The leg was broken in two places.

Fortunately, after careful treatment, Schumacher returned to the arena in just three months, and started the subsequent "seven crowns" course. Who can guarantee that it was not the injury in 1999 that inspired him? What about the persistent desire in Schumacher's heart?

And the car god Senna took Mansell's "free ride" at Silverstone.

In Silverstone in 1991, the McLaren Mp4/6 driven by Senna stopped on the track due to fuel exhaustion on the last lap. Neil Mansell, who finally won the race, drove the car back to maintenance after the race On the way to the station, he picked up Senna who was thrown on the road.

The car god Senna just sat on the roof of the F1 car and followed Neil Mansell to the finish line.What's more interesting is that Senna, who was parked on the road, won the No.4 of this race in a dramatic way because he didn't get lapped.

Since the first official race was held in 1948, Silverstone has undergone a total of 19 track layout modifications and renovations, most of which are only minor changes, such as adding or removing a chicane corner and changing the maintenance area. and grid position etc.

The last major change was in 2010, when the track length was increased from 5.14 kilometers to 5.9 kilometers.

After more than half a century of brilliance, Silverstone is old, but its brilliance continues.Silverstone is not only the center of British motorsports, but also the birthplace of F1, the world's top formula event, attracting seven F1 teams to set up their headquarters in the area around the track.

Wu Qian was very fascinated when he passed the headquarters of F1 teams in his car. This is one of the highest standards in the automotive industry. If possible, he would like his own country's team to participate in it.

Especially when Wu Qian saw the headquarters of an F1 team called "Force India", he was so depressed that he couldn't help it.

When Wu Qian and his group arrived at the Silverstone Circuit, three super sports cars parked quietly in the pit room. Although they were on holiday in the afternoon, none of the filming team left. Who is willing to give up the opportunity to learn and communicate?

The "Three Bitches" greeted the members of Wu Qian's filming team very enthusiastically. They were all familiar faces, and they met in Tianchao some time ago.James May and Jeremy Clarkson are semi-retired but still full of life and love to play, not to mention Richard Hammond, who is only a few months away from turning 50.

The "Three Bitches" were immediately surrounded by Kuang Ziyu and his gang, and the scene was very lively.The staff of the Silverstone circuit are very familiar with the "three lowly guests". Only now did they know that these friends from the Celestial Dynasty also knew each other, and they seemed to have some connections.

These days, Wu Qian’s team has been shooting various scenes on the racetrack with great care. The racetrack staff has seen every bit of it in their eyes. They didn’t know before that that China’s car culture has made great strides. development of.

The UK played cars much earlier than China, with many deep-rooted ideas, but the variety shows of Kuang Ziyu and others gave them a refreshing feeling. Although many elements of "Top Gear" were used in form, the content was changed. Plenty of updates.

It can be seen that it is definitely an excellent variety show, at least it is much stronger than "Top Gear" without the "Three Lows".

"I'm looking forward to it. I don't know if I can see this program in the UK when it is released." This is the thought of the Silverstone staff.
