Chapter 384 Pre-match preparation
Time soon entered October, and the start of the Mercedes-Benz team's first race was getting closer and closer.

When the country enters the National Day holiday, the two drivers of the team and the corresponding navigator are doing the final training, and the other members of the team are also fully prepared and can set off for Spain at any time.

Thanks to Wang Tianfeng's efforts, in the past month or so, the Mercedes-Benz team has grown rapidly, driver coaches, technical teams, logistics services...all these departments have gradually grown from the original "zero" to Now a professional team.

On October 10th, Zhou Fei also arrived in Ninghang City after arranging the company's affairs, and planned to go to Spain with the team the next day to participate in the WRC Rally Championship held there.

"The sales data of our BMW last month was much better than that of Dafeng Motor's Lu Bo. I think Fred is going to be very worried now. The sales have plummeted for two consecutive months. I guess he hasn't done it in his life. encountered such a thing.”

Ma Huafu said to Zhou Fei with a smile.

According to the sales data released in the past few days, Lu Bo's sales in the European and American markets in September have completely fallen below 19360, with a total of 2000 units sold. Compared with August, the sales volume has dropped by more than [-] units.

In comparison, BMW's sales are still stable, with a slight increase this month, and sales in September reached the level of [-].

The most eye-catching performance is Mercedes-Benz. The total sales volume in September reached a terrifying 29360 units. Not only did the previous inventory be exhausted, but if it were not for production capacity constraints, it would be an easy task to sell more than [-] vehicles. .

With its incomparable popularity, coupled with Mercedes-Benz's full support in sales, the sales of Mercedes-Benz are impossible even if they can't think about it.

"For the rest of this year, no brand will be able to please Mercedes-Benz. If Mercedes-Benz can achieve good results in the Spanish race, then its brand awareness will only be further improved, and sales will naturally increase. It will rise with the tide." Zhou Fei smiled and nodded.

Even if it is the current BMW, when it encounters such a Mercedes-Benz, its sales will not be better.

"It can only be said that Mercedes-Benz is really scary." Ma Huafu smiled, then looked at Zhou Fei and asked, "Mr. Zhou thinks what will happen to the debut of the Mercedes-Benz team?"

"It's hard to say. It depends on the impromptu performance of Hu Yulou and Chen Hai, but I don't think it will be too bad." Zhou Fei thought carefully before answering.

During the official competition, venues, weather conditions, etc., may all become factors that affect the championship. Before the competition is over, no one can say what the result will be.

"I hope this time we can have a good start, so that BMW will enter the European and American markets next year." Ma Huafu said softly.

The next day, Zhou Fei, Ma Huafu, Jiang Yang, Wang Tianfeng and other team members chartered a flight to Barcelona, ​​Spain, preparing to participate in the upcoming WRC competition.

As early as the beginning of October, the racing car and the corresponding parts had been sent to the competition venue. When Zhou Fei and the others arrived in Barcelona, ​​the racing car would probably arrive at that time.

When everyone arrived in Barcelona, ​​Spain, it was already the early morning of October 10th local time. After a period of jet lag, Zhou Fei and the others finally recovered from the exhaustion of the journey and began to stroll around the hotel.

Thanks to the holding of this event, the number of tourists in Barcelona has also shown an obvious growth trend recently, and even the nearby hotels have become tense. If it hadn't been prepared for a long time, Zhou Fei and the others probably wouldn't be able to book a reservation Room.

"What do you say next?" Zhou Fei looked at Wang Tianfeng and asked after walking around.

"Tomorrow I will take Hu Yulou and the others to do recovery training, mainly to keep the body in the best condition, and then start on the [-]th, there will be a two-day on-site inspection, and the competition has actually started since then." Wang Tianfeng replied.

Before the official competition, the drivers and navigators of each team need to conduct a two-day on-the-spot survey of the track. During the first survey, the drivers need to feed back the road condition information to the navigator, and the navigator records in a short language Download the information, and then during the second survey, the navigator will report the road book, and the driver will check the information.

In addition to the two-day on-site inspection, before the start of the race, the team also needs to make a final inspection of the vehicle's mechanical parts to ensure that it can compete normally the next day.

All in all, the four major auto races that FIA belongs to are all huge projects. It does not mean that with the car and the driver, the final success can be guaranteed. Every detail during the race needs to be considered by the team. Any link in it If there is a problem, it will have a great impact on the final result, which is why automobile events such as F1 and WRC are so attractive to the audience.

The perfection of the details of the game will maximize the viewing of the game.

"Okay, I'll leave it to you to take care of the team's next work arrangements. If you need my help, just ask." Zhou Fei nodded.

That night, Zhou Fei also came to the hotel where the Mercedes-Benz team was located, and met Muller and others who came to participate in the competition. Now that the two companies are partners, Zhou Fei can meet with them at will, and there is no need to I'm as sneaky as before.

In the next few days, the team was completely arranged by Wang Tianfeng, while Zhou Fei went around Barcelona with Jiang Yang, Ma Huafu and others, and went to the local landmark Camp Nou. The pitch is ticked.

As for Wang Tianfeng, after going to the organizing committee to complete the relevant procedures, on October 10th, the first field survey of this competition officially started. For Chen Hai of the team, this is not his first time. Participating in a WRC competition once, so field inspections are nothing to him.

Hu Yulou, on the other hand, was the first time he participated in such a formal competition. Although he had made sufficient preparations before the competition, he still seemed a little immature when it came to the field inspection.

Fortunately, with the help of the navigator, Hu Yulou also successfully completed the first day of field investigation.

After the two-day on-site inspection, the last inspection of the machine parts before the race will take place. This time, the team's maintenance team is in charge. Before the vehicle is shipped here, the team's technicians have checked it several times Yes, but for the sake of the safety of the race, the members of the maintenance team followed the procedure and conducted a final inspection of the car.

After everything is ready, the arrival of the race is getting closer and closer. Around the entire track, gunpowder is filled with smoke, and the battle is about to break out!
