He rode a motorcycle and crashed the plane.

Chapter 532 532. My choice

Hearing Xu Jia's confident words, Qin Hao looked at him with a deep look. This guy can crush a Camaro with a Toyota Corolla on the street, and he can beat a rookie professional driver by more than 4 seconds in a touring car on the track.

If there are no problems with drifting on the mountain track this time, it means that Xu Jia can do it even if he runs a rally.

In the final field of professional racing, only Formula Xu Jia has not yet raced, but as a former Formula driver, Qin Hao’s intuition told Qin Hao that Xu Jia might be better in the Formula field!

Is this the legendary all-around talented driver?

Qin Hao sighed in his heart. He really didn't expect that he would encounter a "pervert" like Xu Jia this time when he came to the East China Sea!

"Then when will you go to Wu Province?"

"Probably just these two days."

"I will go with you."

As soon as Qin Hao finished speaking, he heard Li Wenfeng next to him add: "Plus me."

"Are you going on a trip as a group?"

Facing the responses from these two people, Xu Jia felt a little speechless and replied.

"It's just free time anyway, let's go and see how you win."

Qin Hao smiled and replied. He really wanted to see how Xu Jia, who had never run a mountain road before, could win the title of "professional" mountain attacker in Hong Kong Island.

"Didn't you successfully try out for the FCA team? Are you still free?"

"I didn't sign with them."

"why?"

Xu Jia was a little surprised now. FCA is currently considered a first-class professional team in the East China Sea, and Qin Hao has already successfully tried out, but he doesn't want to sign a contract.

"I said I didn't like the venue."

"But drifting and mountain climbing are not professional sports after all."

Faced with Xu Jia's words, Qin Hao didn't say anything but just smiled. Everyone's choice is different, just like Xu Jia was thinking about how to return to his career, even F1, but Qin Hao's interest was not in his career.

"Okay, I will go to Wu Province to inform you then."

Without further talking, Xu Jia left Yanjiang Road in his Mazda RX7 after leaving Qin Hao's phone number.

When he returned to his rental house, it was past twelve o'clock. He turned on the TV to make the house less deserted. Xu Jia found a change of clothes and walked into the bathroom, preparing to take a shower and rest.

The TV was fixed on Five-Star Sports, which Xujia often watches. This is one of the few channels in China that broadcasts F1 events. However, today is not the weekend F1 Grand Prix time, but the anchor still broadcast an article about F1 driver Kimi Lecco. Ning's news.

"According to the British racing media "Autosport", F1 world champion driver Kimi Raikkonen has participated in the WRC Finnish station test this week. If all goes well, he will join the Citroën youth team supported by Red Bull and officially compete. 2010 World Rally Championship."

Kimi joins WRC?

After hearing the news, Xu Jia rushed out of the bathroom and came to the TV without even having time to put on his clothes.

The familiar face of Kimi Raikkonen appeared on the screen, but this time it was no longer an F1 car parked next to him, but a Citroën rally car.

Many people may have the impression that F1 drivers belong to Senna, Schumacher, or Hamilton, who can be called the third-generation car god.

But for the formula drivers of Xu Jia's era, their inspirational goal was the "Finnish Iceman" in front of them - Kimi Raikkonen! Because Kimi Raikkonen created the first "triple jump" in F1 history, he jumped from Renault junior formula driver to F1 driver and obtained a super license specially approved by the FIA. This level of difficulty is equivalent to I went to Tsinghua University directly from elementary school!

Kimi Raikkonen's "triple jump" miracle made many formula drivers of his generation involuntarily have a fantasy, thinking that one day they can replicate this miracle, including Xu Jia.

However, the reason why a miracle can be called a miracle lies in its non-replicability. After Kimi Raikkonen, no formula driver has been able to obtain an F1 super license specially approved by the FIA.

And with the use of the F15 points system in 1, there will no longer be F1 drivers with special super licenses in the future!

An old drunkard asked Xu Jia what he wanted to run. He didn't answer at the time. In fact, Xu Jia already had the answer in his mind. He wanted to run F1 and become China's first official F1 driver!

It's just that if this answer is said, it would be too "shocking" in this era, and there is almost no hope of returning to F1, even if it starts from karting, because no foreign team will accept Xu Jia's trial. training.

But the Kimi Raikkonen in front of him made Xu Jia think of an extreme shortcut, which is to let the FIA ​​(International Automobile Federation) once again perform the miracle of special approval and obtain a super driver's license of his own!

There is almost no possibility of special approval in the formula field, and the only car racing event in the world that can directly test F1 teams and obtain special approval for a super license is the WRC. Even theoretically, the time to return to F1 through WRC is faster than starting from scratch in Formula One!

要知道徐加上辈子从8岁开始跑职业卡丁车，然后雷诺初级方程式、F3、GP2，一直到24岁才成为F1试车手，中间足足用了16年！

Now that Xu Jia is 20 years old, he does not have the time to start from scratch.

If Xu Jia takes the road of rallying, as long as he achieves good results in national competitions, he can apply for a B-class racing license and obtain WRC qualifications. This is many times easier than getting a super license to participate in F1.

If Xu Jia can take a step closer and win the first WRC championship in Chinese history, then with the status and influence of the Chinese WRC world champion, there is a high chance that he can be like the "King of Rally" Loeb in 07 when he tried out for the French Renault team. Same, directly get a trial training opportunity with the F1 team.

After all, F1 events are commercial competitions, and the FIA ​​urgently needs to open up the vast market of Chinese F1. The championship status and China's influence are Xu Jia's stepping stones!

As long as you can pass the F1 team's trial training, the F1 team can apply to the FIA ​​for a special super driver's license. This is also the only channel through which you can apply to the FIA ​​for a super driver's license.

In theory, after taking this extreme shortcut, you can return to the F1 track in as little as two years, and you don't have to worry about age and seniority issues.

This crazy idea that came to his mind shocked Xu Jia himself. Let alone this era, even if it takes another ten years, no driver has ever succeeded in transitioning to F1 by taking the path of WRC.

Because purely from the perspective of track racing, F1 has reached the extreme, and no racing event can surpass it. Even the nine-time WRC champion Loeb was a full 08 seconds slower than the F1 test driver in a single lap during the trial training at the Spa circuit in Belgium in 3.

But similarly, WRC tests the overall ability of the driver. Even a talented driver like Kimi Raikkonen, who has won the F1 world championship, will actually have average results. His best ranking is seventh in the German Grand Prix. .

After all, when different racing events reach their peak level, their thinking, models, and rules are very different. It is not so easy to adapt, let alone to dominate easily.

Xu Jia is different from Loeb, or all WRC drivers. He is an F1 test driver himself, so he has no worries about how to pass the F1 team's trial training after becoming the WRC world champion.

The embarrassing point now is, how can I become the WRC world champion? Without this result, the F1 team will never give itself a trial training opportunity.

Even if a genius like Kimi Raikkonen failed to become a world champion in WRC, how could Xu Jia dare to say that he must be better than Kimi?

It turns out that the shortcut is not as easy as imagined.

At this time, an interview with Kimi Raikkonen was broadcast on TV.

"Kimi, when you leave F1 to join WRC, do you plan to transform into a rally driver in the future?"

Faced with this question, the Finnish iceman, who has always been sparing his words, gave a relatively long answer.

"I have always wanted to experience WRC racing, but my dream has always been on the F1 track. If I have the opportunity, I will return to F1."

Hearing Kimi Raikkonen's answer, Xu Jia already had a choice in his mind. He looked at the once inspiring goal on the screen and murmured: "Me too."
