Chapter 24 Driving Skills Vocational Level 8

Since Bai Chou is a Ferrari fan, why didn't he choose Ferrari but instead bought a Porsche 911?
Because Bai Chou needed to leave the track to practice his skills, he couldn't afford to repair it or wait.

No one can guarantee they won't crash once they're on the track, and if they do, they'll have to repair their car. Even if you're lucky enough to avoid a crash, you still need to do maintenance, inspections, and four-wheel alignment after the race...

Take the carbon ceramic brake discs installed on this GT3RS as an example. Although they can provide better braking performance than steel discs, they are also more fragile.

Just a small stone flying off while driving at high speed is enough to make a small notch in the brake disc.

In order to keep the wear of the left and right wheel brake discs equal, it will cost 15 yuan to replace the entire pair of brake discs.

Bai Chou even wanted to reverse modify the car during the training phase and replace the brake discs of the car with heavier but tougher and more durable steel discs.

If this is the case with Porsche, the repair costs for Ferrari will only be more expensive.

This is just the cost, what is more troublesome is the time.

Except for major damage to the engine, motor, chassis, etc., after a Porsche crash, it is completely possible to take it to a private repair shop where racing enthusiasts gather, which can save a lot of time.

Thanks to the countless BMWs and Porsches on the track, they have considerable experience in repairing BMWs and Porsches, and they also have some commonly worn parts in stock, so they can quickly prepare the car.

If there are really no parts, just dismantle them from other idle Porsches.

Daily maintenance, tire replacement, and four-wheel alignment can also be sent to the 4S shop without being sent back to the Stuttgart headquarters.

If a Ferrari is involved in an accident, private repair shops will definitely not be able to repair it. It can only be sent to the Maranello headquarters through domestic dealers, and the repair period will take at least several months.

This is also the reason why Ferrari owners rarely drive their Ferraris off the track. They can't afford to repair it but they can't wait. Usually, they buy a Porsche 911 and drive it on the track.

Now, let’s get back to the topic and take a look at the system’s rewards first.

[Driving gift package anchored successfully, anchor target: Ferrari]

This gift pack includes all the contracted and reserve drivers from all Ferrari racing teams and the Ferrari Academy since Ferrari's first official racing competition (click to confirm the specific list)

Open the gift pack, and the host will randomly draw a driver from the list and obtain all the driver's driving-related skills, main functions, and all understanding of driving.

Click Confirm List.

[Michael Schumacher, Fernando Alonso, Sebastian Vettel, Niki Lauda...]

The first few on the list are undoubtedly the superstars who won the world championship for the Ferrari F1 team or successfully switched to the Ferrari circus to pursue their dreams on behalf of other teams.

Each of them stands at the pinnacle of the art of "pushing the car to the extreme."

After these people are powerful drivers such as Massa and Barrichello who have competed for the Ferrari F1 team, and drivers who have won the Ferrari Le Mans endurance race.

After that, there are the Ferrari team's reserve drivers, test drivers, and youth academy drivers...

Bai Chou had never even heard of most of the names on this list, but the star-studded names at the top of the list were enough to prove the value of this list.

Bai Chou had no doubt that, apart from those who were too old, the weakest driver on this list would be enough to stand out from the crowd in China.

A driver who is not strong enough is not even qualified to be a Ferrari test driver.

As for whether the open-wheel formula driving technology can be transplanted to touring cars and ordinary civilian cars...The domestic driver who is closest to F1 is Ma Qinghua. He joined the HRT team and Caterham team in 2012 and 2013 respectively, although he has never participated in an F1 race.

After leaving F1, Ma Qinghua switched to touring car racing, winning the FIA ​​World Championship in Moscow and the second round of the WTCC World Touring Car Championship in Portugal.

Any F1 driver, even one who has been eliminated by F1, may not necessarily win the championship by participating in other top seasons, but at least he can become a powerful player with a place in other top world competitions.

For this Ferrari driving gift pack, Bai Chou would not lose out even if he got the worst one, as he could upgrade to the maximum level in seconds.

Open the gift pack.

[Congratulations to the host for opening the Ferrari driver limited gift pack]

Congratulations to the car owner for winning the driver: Charles Leclerc

[Civilian Vehicle Driving (Amateur Level 2) Advances to Civilian and Racing Vehicle Driving (Professional Level 8)]

Professional level 8!
Professional level 8?
Bai Chou was slightly surprised.

It's not one of the top jackpots, but Charles Leclerc is not bad either. As the Iron Buddha, he has paid a lot of attention to this outstanding graduate of Ferrari's youth training camp.

As a teenager, the Monegasque driver was a star in European junior karting and open-wheel formula racing, and was often compared by the media and fans to another young talent, Verstappen.

正式加入法拉利青年车手学院后，勒克莱尔仅用两年就通关了法拉利青训营，于16、17年分别获得GP3和F2的车手冠军，并于17年末加入F1索伯车队。

In this year's F1, whether in the race or qualifying, Leclerc was almost always faster than his teammates with many years of F1 experience, and drove the Sauber, which was at the bottom of the paddock, into the points zone many times to help the team get valuable points.

Bai Chou had no doubt that within two years at most, Leclerc would be promoted to Ferrari and realize his dream of becoming a Ferrari player.

only……

Even such an outstanding Leclerc, is only a professional level 8 driving skill? It seems that only a few F9 world champions can reach professional level 1.

Immediately afterwards...

Charles Leclerc first came into contact with karting at the age of 4 and joined the F20 Sauber team at the age of 1. The driving skills he had honed in karting and open-wheel formula racing over the past years, as well as the understanding of driving he gained after wasting countless tires, all flooded into Bai Chou's mind.

After a brief dizziness, hunger came over me.

After learning Leclerc's driving skills, Bai Chou felt his hearing and vision sharpened. His reaction speed was slightly faster, and his understanding of the car and his tolerance for the hardships of driving were also greatly improved.

well.

Bai Chou just felt that now he could even put on a thick fireproof racing suit, drive this GT3RS on the track for more than two hours under the scorching sun without turning on the air conditioner, provided that this car could really withstand two hours of extreme driving.

"Mr. Bai, Mr. Bai..."

Ma Huixin's gentle call brought Bai Chou's thoughts back to reality.

"Hmm?" Bai Chou turned his head and looked at Ma Huixin who was bending over outside the car window.

Ma Huixin pointed to the traditional gear lever on the center armrest and reminded with a smile, "The position of the Porsche gear lever is different from the Mercedes-Benz hand-shift lever. You need to quickly adapt to this track machine."
