Riding a Kawasaki H2 to chase the high-speed rail, the school beauty was moved to tears

Qin Chuan usually doesn't play games very much, he just watches videos. If there is any motorcycle race that impressed him the most, it must be the Isle of Man. The street jumps are exciting and thrilling.

When watching the edited video, I feel like my hormones are bursting out of my body.

"That's just one of them, there are strictly three of the top two-wheelers in the world, motogp, wsbk, and you name it Isle of Man."

Xu Hong nodded and shook his head when he heard the word "Man Island".

"Of these three competitions, the Isle of Man is a street race, the other two are track races, and wsbk is the abbreviation of the World Superbike Championship."

Xu Hong began to tell Qin Chuan about each competition one by one. Qin Chuan didn't understand why he was talking about sponsors and why it was related to the competition.

wsbk is the world super motorcycle championship. The word "world" means it is a world-class competition, and the full name of China's csbk is the Chinese super motorcycle championship.

One is national level and the other is world level.

The gap in driver strength between the two is very large. The most straightforward example is that in the same displacement group, the last place in wsbk can easily beat the championship of csbk.

As for motogp, its full name is similar to wsbk, it can also be called the World Super Motorcycle Championship (or Grand Prix.)

But there is a very obvious difference between it and wsbk, or in other words, there is a clear difference between it and the Isle of Man and other motorcycle events.

This is unique among the two rounds.

Just like the nature of F1, the cars used in motogp are not commercially available cars!

A commercially available car is a car that is sold to the public.

The Isle of Man and wsbk racers use liter-class modified cars, such as Suzuki Big R, Yamaha R1, Kawasaki Daniel, and BMW S1000rr, which are modified large-displacement sports cars.

These cars, even the Kawasaki h2’s bigger brother, the h2r, are available.

"If you can enter MotoGP, it means that you will sign a contract with the racing departments of several of Blue Star's largest motorcycle brands, and they will develop racing cars specifically for you, regardless of cost."

"No matter the cost."

After listening to Xu Hong's words, Qin Chuan said silently.

Yes, regardless of cost, motogp racing cars are also called factory cars. The cost is generally around [-] million Chinese dollars, and they will employ a super luxurious logistics team and beautiful car models.

Of course, with high salary and the strongest racing car in the world, they also need the strongest driver.

When talking about car models, Xu Hong raised his eyebrows deliberately. What young people are most motivated by is nothing more than money, status and beauty.

As for the final Isle of Man TT, it is the most famous street race in the world. The street race, as the name suggests, is not raced on the track, but on the streets. The Isle of Man TT is held on a small island in Northern Ireland. The name of the island is the Isle of Man.

Use the road on this island as the competition venue.

During the competition, citizens will clear the streets and prohibit travel. Because it is a street, the visibility is poor and the road surface is uneven, so the risk is extremely high.

But the Isle of Man is a time trial, and the start and track of the time trial are different. In the time trial, each driver starts separately, and there is almost no fighting.

"Once you enter MotoGP, you are signed not by the team but by the brand. Then you are equivalent to becoming the global spokesperson of the brand. Is the temptation of a world star too big?"

"Well, uncle, you think highly of me, but this is really too far away for me."

Although there is a system, Qin Chuan still hopes that he can be down-to-earth and not be anxious, especially in racing, mentality is very important.

Hearing Qin Chuan's answer, Xu Hong nodded inwardly.

Good seedling.

"As for the sponsor...it is essentially a driver's sponsor. In the early stage, he is the sponsor, and in the later stage, he is a partner."

After talking for a long time, we finally came to the topic of sponsors.

“The largest source of driver’s salary is the salary paid to the driver by the team or the contracted brand, followed by sponsorship fees from sponsors, and then endorsement fees, business cooperation and other expenses.”

"What about bonuses? There must be bonuses in competitions."

When Qin Chuan heard the income, he asked again.

"Bonus? The mention of bonus is the main point of why I want you to participate in the Qingshan competition. Do you think the bonus in the competition is usually very high?"

Xu Hong looked at Qin Chuan.

"Correct."

Qin Chuan nodded directly. He did think so, and there was nothing wrong with admitting it.

In his opinion, isn't it normal for the prize money for such a dangerous extreme sport to be higher?

The more novice Qin Chuan became, the more shocked Xu Hong was at Qin Chuan's talent. A newcomer who didn't know anything, his grandma actually learned how to brake and turn into corners, and it only took a week.

In one week, I accomplished what others could do in three years or even seven or eight years.

"No, bonuses account for the lowest proportion of a driver's income, almost non-existent. Drivers run races to win first place, but winning first place is not to get bonuses, but to enhance their reputation and attract sponsorship. The concerns of business owners and the concerns of team owners."

Outsiders don’t know, but most insiders know that the prize money for racing is very low, especially in China.

The prize money from most domestic competitions may not even be enough for the driver's travel expenses, but as long as you have a reputation and good strength, you may have the opportunity to be favored by some sponsors.

They will sponsor your initial training costs and even pay you a salary.

There is a saying that is right, professional drivers are not awesome, only professional drivers with professional sponsors are awesome.

Of course, sponsors don’t give you money for free. It is an investment and a kind of advertising. They sponsor you to practice driving and pay you wages. Then when you compete, their brand logo must be on the car and on the leather jacket. There must also be their competition logo.

How much money a sponsor gives you depends on how famous you are at the time.

After listening to Xu Hong's explanation, Qin Chuan now understood that this was a relatively mature business model.

The riders help promote it, the sponsors give the money, it’s that simple.

"When you have a sponsor, you have a backer. If you want to compete in the three competitions I mentioned before, in addition to your own strength, the sponsor behind you must also be strong."

You must have your own strength, but not just strength, Qin Chuan understood now.

"Then I'll participate."

Qin Chuan decisively agreed. The mountain race is a kind of street race, and it can also add some experience to the Isle of Man in the future.

Hearing this, Xu Hong nodded. Qin Chuan was not only diligent, but also very motivated.

"Well, I'll sign you up through the team's channels, but the race around the mountain is a bit dangerous, so it's all about safety and don't try too hard."

If Xu Hong were an ordinary sponsor, he wouldn't let Qin Chuan go. When he becomes stronger, finding sponsors based on his connections won't be a problem at all.

But this time there is something wrong with the Qingshan competition. A sponsor has come who does not belong to such a small competition.

After setting the time for the game, the day's training was over, and Qin Chuan rushed to Huadan in the evening. He had not forgotten the orientation meeting.
