Rich life from scratch

Chapter 137 Correct Usage of Black Cards

After picking up the car with full face here, Lin Qishan sent the GT3RS to the tuning shop the next day, and it was a big deal!Other car lovers will feel distressed when they see it. A new car with less than a hundred kilometers will fall apart!

But for rich people, if the toy is not used for playing, then it loses the meaning of buying it!Because this car is positioned to play on the track!

Because the weather has been cold recently, he is no longer afraid of the heat when he is on the track. Instead, he seems to be keeping warm by wearing a thick racing suit. This time is very suitable for gaining experience.

Currently his racing skill is at the top with +18% mastery.

The next stage is "expert", and there will be a reward of 10 billion.

It also stimulated him to take advantage of the cool weather and accumulate more experience!
So after all the changes and adjustments of the Porsche were completed, Lin Qishan picked a free afternoon and drove it on the track to do laps. One lap, two laps... ten laps ran smoothly and freely.

But it just feels like it didn't meet my expectations.

For a person who can skillfully use a racing car, or even drive a thousand-horsepower FXXK Mawang, civilian use is still civilian use after all, and the genetic characteristics determine that no matter how strong the civilian use is, it cannot match the racing car.

Fortunately, this is a sports car that can go on the road. If you are not used to the track, it can also go on the road to show off. So after two days of driving, the car that cost more than 300 million yuan was thrown away for women.

Anyway, it's a car that can go on the road, so it's not a loss if you spend the money. Right now, he's more concerned about his skill progress: how to gain experience?
I don’t want to miss the good environment in cold weather, but the existing vehicles can no longer satisfy him. The GT3RS, which is very strong in the eyes of amateur players, has not been able to stimulate his limit, which is embarrassing!
This day, Lin Qishan was squatting beside the track, looking at the colorful cars passing by in front of him, he was distracted thinking: Or get a stronger car? GT3 events are currently the mainstream, and many countries are playing them.

He can completely borrow the name of the team and order a brand new racing car from the manufacturer. As far as he knows, the price of McLaren and Porsche GT3 racing cars is about 40 US dollars.

Because racing cars are not allowed on the road, the high import taxes and fees for passenger cars are not applicable, so the cost of buying a racing car is not high in China!

So Lin Qishan went back and checked it out, and found that the price-performance ratio of GT3 racing cars is still low!

In the existing Asian Cup Formula Competition, the cost of an F3 racing car is only about 20 US dollars!
In terms of cost-effectiveness, isn’t the formula more fragrant than those RVs like Lamborghini and Ferrari?
Although F3 is cheap, its track performance is not weaker than that of GT3 cars. Tracks with many bends can even beat GT3, because the formula is very light and has a great advantage in mechanical grip!

If he adds some more money on this basis, he can still go to GP2!

GP2 is great, although F1 driver Alonso once complained that his car is a "GP2 engine".

But on the other hand, the performance of GP2 is already very close to F1.

And compared to the sky-high price of F1, GP2 is the king of cost performance!When it was established that year, its organizers said that they hoped that the cost of a GP2 racing car would not exceed 25 euros!
Although this is an old calendar ten years ago, according to the exchange rate and price changes, it will not be too high. After all, GP2 itself is driven by cost performance, and no one can afford it if it costs too much money!

Hundreds of thousands of euros, you can buy a self-priming V8, 600 horsepower, the performance is second only to the F1 car, you can feel the real charm of the formula... such an artifact!
Even including maintenance, spare parts supply, daily consumption... Adding all these up, the overall cost is acceptable to Lin Qishan.

He even thought about it: Why not add some money and get on F1 in one step?

It’s just that F1 is not easy to buy. Even the cars retired last year and the year before will still be kept as technical secrets. Now it’s only possible to buy cars retired from the V8 era, and it may not be your turn. There are many people rushing to collect them.

And F1 is too squeamish, it requires a whole team to maintain it, and if a part breaks, you can't buy a replacement.On the contrary, GP2, because it adopts the parts supply of the same specification, it is no problem to put together a brand new racing car by itself.

But F1 is also as good as F1. It is a well-known racing car representative in the world and the top track machine on earth. If you go out and say you can drive F1, everyone will convince you!
He carefully compared the two cars.

In fact, for ordinary people, there is no difference between GP2 and F1, and it is difficult for you to drive to the limit!
But human psychology is often more inclined to take the best.

After all, the name of F1 is too loud.

Even if you say F1 to a person who doesn't understand cars, he will know what it looks like.

But you say GP2, A1, F3000, sorry, they will be confused.

Who can resist the charm of an F1 car lover?

Although he can afford to buy a retired F1 car, the maintenance, repair and labor are too cumbersome! F1 cars have to be dismantled and repaired every now and then. No one in China understands this stuff, it's too time-consuming!
If there is a durable F1 with a lifespan of [-] to [-] kilometers, and does not require frequent maintenance by a team of dozens of people... it would be perfect to have such a car!
After this idea was born, he had a flash of inspiration and handed over the problem to someone who should understand - he called Heika's private secretary and explained his idea to him in detail.

Although the domestic black card has been dragged down by his complaints, at least it cooperates with Amex. Amex’s global private service is so strong, there must be some special channels, right?
After comprehending what Lin Qishan meant, he was very serious, and the secretary said: "We will study the requirements immediately, contact foreign partners, and help you formulate a plan as soon as possible!"

"I'm waiting for your good news!"

Lin Qishan placed his hopes on it.

I went to work on other things for a long time. Later, the secretary called him back: "Mr. Lin, the situation is like this. After discussing with the service department of American Express, we have a solution..."

Is there really a trick?
After he calmed down just now, he felt that this request should have stumped these people.

But now I am pleasantly surprised that the black card really has this ability!
In response to Lin Qishan's idea of ​​wanting to play F1 racing cars without worry, they really came up with a solution: Lotus (Lotus) once launched the T125 model!

As a once strong F1 team, Lotus’s formula genes are undoubted. They launched a car a few years ago that can meet F1 performance standards in performance, but can also meet the requirements of long life and simple maintenance!

T125就是这辆经由F1认证的竞技用车，不论是车重、车身材质、动力输出、配备等均达到了F1赛级标准，搭载可输出640匹马力的3.5升V8发动机。

Although F1 has now used turbos, T125 is inevitably behind the times, but no matter what, it also has the qualifications of quasi-F1-at least it is better than GP2!

It has strong performance, but unlike the real F1, which needs to rely on the support of the entire team to go on the track, its engine is very durable, and it does not need to invest a lot of manpower and financial resources for maintenance and replacement.

And after owning a T125 racing car, you will become a high-end member of Lotus, and you will receive a service team composed of engineers, aerodynamicists, tire experts and other experts in various aspects.

In addition to regular vehicle performance optimization, this team will also assist car owners with F1-level fitness programs, including nutrition, muscle strength and endurance training.

All in all, the T125 is Lin Qishan's ideal racing car, with the performance of F1 specifications, but without a lot of troubles in terms of manpower and time, and can get the guidance of an experienced team!
Most importantly, this car black card can help him get it!

Although the Lotus car was amazing when it was launched, after all, there are not many people who can be so purely fond of racing, and there are very few rich people who can drive it!

It can be said that it is very tasteless, those who have money to buy are too old to play, and those who want to play but do not have the financial strength... A user like Lin Qishan is a match made in heaven!
ps: After a brother gave me an opinion, I felt that T125 is more suitable for the protagonist to train (pretend) and practice (force), so I changed the content of this chapter.If you can see this sentence, please ignore it.
