He rode a motorcycle and crashed the plane.

Chapter 593 593. Taipa Circuit
Xu Jia's words were full of disdain, because in his opinion, Hong Kong Island only has car culture and no racing culture.

There may be many Hong Kong drivers, thanks to some historical reasons, who can easily go to powerful racing countries such as Australia and the United Kingdom to receive more professional professional training, and their strength is also very strong.

But after all, this is just an improvement of the individual, not the overall level. It is like the emergence of Yao Ming in this era who has established himself in the NBA and can even be called the world's top center.

Can you say that Chinese basketball as a whole has reached a point where it can compete with the NBA?

More importantly, the fact that Hong Kong Island does not have a racing culture is not limited by issues such as area or funding, but simply by a very short-sightedness.

Because even the smaller island of Macau next door has just built a Taipa Coloane circuit, and there are also F3 and Super GT Grand Prix racing, and the Guia Circuit. Even drivers at the level of Schumacher and Hamilton have raced in the Grand Prix.

And in Hong Kong Island, which is so big, there is not even a professional racing track.

So even when Xu Jia was cooking again, he never paid attention to Hong Kong Island Racing!

In the next two days, Xu Jia basically trained on the village roads in Tsuen Wan and on Tai Mo Shan Road. Then let Le Zai collect different data on control, chassis, etc. to prepare for future events.

You must know that chassis and suspension tuning for rally racing is, in a sense, more complicated than F1.

The chassis suspension styles on the F1 track can be roughly divided into two types: soft and hard, and then combined with high, medium and low air downforce, there are only less than ten sets of adjustment plans in total.

Rally events require facing extremely complex road conditions, such as gravel, mud, ice and snow, etc., which all require different shock absorber settings.

Taking the most common gravel road as an example, you need to replace it with special OZ rally wheels, Olins nitrogen custom shock absorbers, and racing off-road tires imported from Turkey.

It's not enough to just replace the parts. The problem also involves changing and adjusting the chassis data. This is an extremely huge project. Le Zai collected and recorded almost all the data Xu Jia ran during the day, then calculated and analyzed it at night, and then wrote it into the driving computer.

In just two days, obvious dark circles appeared under Le Zai's glasses.

However, despite Wenwen's weakness, this kid managed to withstand such high-intensity data analysis, and completed data writing before each Xu Jia test. He looked like a time management master of a certain male star in later generations.

On September 11th, the fourth day after Xu Jia came to Hong Kong Island, the old drunkard and his crew drove a rented van from Hong Kong Island towards Macao Island.

At the same time, the Taipa Coloane Circuit on Macao Island was very lively with flags flying and gongs and drums noisy.

Because the Hong Kong Island Automobile Association and the Macao Island Automobile Association will hold an exhibition race here to warm up for the upcoming Grand Prix.

You must know that the Australian Island Grand Prix can be said to be one of the largest international events in China and even in Asia, and it brings a huge number of fans and tourists.

For the tourist and gambling city of Ao Island, it means a lot of revenue, so naturally it has to find a way to make it grand. The Coloane Circuit Exhibition Race is a regular warm-up event every year.

"Although you are very confident, I still have to tell you that in addition to the Hong Kong and Macao drivers, there are also professional drivers invited from abroad with huge sums of money in the Coloane exhibition race. There is even a chance of meeting fringe drivers from European GP2 or DTM. It’s as easy as you think.”

The old drunkard warned Xu Jia while driving.

After all, this event is an exhibition match for others, but for Xu Jia, it is an event that must be won.

There is no shortage of money in Hong Kong Island and Macao Island. Just like domestic competitions will invite foreign aid, many foreign drivers will also come to make money. Even if they are just fringe drivers in GP2 and DTM, in Asia, except for a group of top Japanese drivers, they are all vulnerable!
It is equivalent to basketball, NBA, or fringe players from the five major football leagues. The effect of coming to the domestic league is similar, or even exaggerated.

If it weren't for Xu Jia's amazing display of strength on the field, the old drunkard wouldn't even have the confidence to let him run in this exhibition match.

"It's good, that will be more interesting."

Unlike the old drunkard's imagination that Xu Jia would be serious or nervous after learning about it, this kid actually showed a sense of eager anticipation.

Before he came to Hong Kong Island, he found a lot of information about professional racing for this guy. Logically speaking, Xu Jia should know very well what levels GP2 and DTM drivers represent. Could it be that this guy didn't read it?

However, they are already on their way to Ao Island. It is impossible for the old drunkard to choose this time to emphasize the opponent's strength and put pressure on Xu Jia.

Even if the ignorant are fearless, now they must be fearless to the end!

The distance between Tsuen Wan and Taipa is not far, but because they are separated by a strait and need to be transported by ferry, it still took Xu Jia and his party almost two hours to arrive at the Coloane Circuit.

Although Aodao has built a racing track in a small area, to be honest, the area is really small and pitiful. It is basically the same as the Guangzhou-Shenzhen base, or even smaller.

When it was originally built, it could only be used to hold karting-level events, with a total length of only 1.25 kilometers.

Later, we drew on the experience of the Guia Street Race and opened up the road next to the racing track. During the competition, a combined track was formed. The length finally reached 2.5 kilometers, which barely passed the acceptance of the international B-class racing track.

After arriving at the loading and unloading location, the old drunkard handed Xu Jia a track license. The full English name and LOGO of the FIA ​​were on the top of the front, his photo and personal information were on the bottom, and the logo and number of the Hong Kong Island Automobile Association were on the back.

Xu Jia is no stranger to racing licenses, but when he held it in his hands again, he couldn't help but feel a little sighing in his heart.

"You and A Niu are going to unload the truck. I have to deal with the qualifications. You can run away on your own later."

The old drunkard's purpose here today is not for an exhibition match, but to convince the members of the Hong Kong Island Automobile Association.

"Uncle Xu, don't worry, it's a small scene."

Xu Jia smiled, then opened the door and got out of the car. He and Li Wenfeng, who were following him along the way, prepared to unload the Subaru GE from the container truck.

This time, we did not use an event transport vehicle, but a temporarily rented container truck, which was relatively troublesome to load and unload.

Looking at the back of Xu Jiayun getting out of the car calmly, the expression on the old drunkard's face was a bit complicated. Did he really underestimate him?
In fact, this can't be blamed on the old drunkard for looking down on it. It can only be said that this game hit Xu Jia's gun.

Xu Lang realized that the Xujia venue was very strong, but he never thought that the venue could be as strong as F1 level!

If he were facing a GP2 or DTM champion today, Xu Jia might not necessarily be able to win. After all, these people are at the quasi-F1 level, and their strength is not weaker than that of an F1 test driver.

But it’s really a shame to get into the fringe driver level of making money in Hong Kong. F1 is always F1, Xu Jia is the high-dimensional one compared to them, and the target of dimensionality reduction is the other way around!
