161: The Grand Prix opens with Ferrari

Monaco.

The Romonkat Circuit street section.

This is the venue for the Supercar Racing Grand Prix.

Under the collective gaze of the World,

The World's third-largest sporting event, trailing only the Olympics and World Cup, officially commenced.

In previous competitions, Chinese rarely paid attention, as there wasn't a single qualified enterprise from home.

But this time was different; a large number of Chinese had been waiting in the live stream rooms since early, their faces filled with anticipation.

As the first Asian brand to qualify for this event in decades, Fenglei's participation was a source of great excitement.

How could they not be thrilled?

Even if Fenglei finished last, it would still be a historic breakthrough.

What's more, there were rumors online claiming that the supercar Fenglei entered this time had the potential to rank in the top ten.

This instantly pushed the Chinese's expectations to the maximum.

Everyone hoped Fenglei could create a miracle.

At this moment,

It was already a sea of people.

Numerous media outlets and influencers were checking in and taking photos here.

This international event was a rare opportunity for many influencers to gain followers.

They naturally wouldn't miss it, so they all started live streaming, tracking today's competition throughout.

“Folks, I’m Xiao Wang Shuo Che from the Northeast. The race is about to begin, please follow the streamer, thank you…”

“Brothers, there are seventeen brands participating in this competition, and they are entering one after another.”

“Everyone, please follow, the streamer will send you red envelopes soon.”

“Wow, do you want to see the long-legged car models? Then reach out your little hand and give the streamer a like…”

…

Chen Zhen, a domestic car review blogger, also arrived at the scene as requested by his many fans.

Since his last exposé of Fenglei’s new car, he had soared to become the number one car reviewer, with nearly 50 million followers.

This event was themed around supercars, meaning it brought together the World's most cutting-edge supercars.

As a car review blogger, there was no reason not to come.

What's more,

Fenglei represented China in this competition, and domestic attention was so high.

With such massive traffic, how could Chen Zhen miss it?

In the live stream room, domestic Chinese gasped in amazement.

“Wow, it’s so lively, so many people.”

“As expected of the World's biggest racing event, what a grand occasion!!”

“Tsk tsk… those long legs, foreign girls are truly captivating.”

“Damn, why are there so many supercars on the roadside, like cabbages?”

“It’s rare to see even one in China, but here it’s like wholesale.”

“Don’t even mention it, foreigners are just rich, we can’t compare.”

“Brother Zhen, don’t just film beautiful women, let’s see the participating supercars first.”

“There’s plenty of time to look at beautiful women; this is a World-class supercar race, we need to distinguish between primary and secondary.”

…

At the scene,

Many international big names and socialites also arrived, with the Middle East's Qatar Prince prominently among them.

He arrived at the track early, sitting in the VIP viewing area with the best sightlines.

This time,

The Qatar Prince's emotions were unusually accelerated.

Because the thor m14, which he most anticipated today, was about to make its appearance and showcase its charm to the World.

With half an hour left until the race, the atmosphere at the venue grew even more intense.

The wealthy individuals stopped chatting and focused their attention on the center of the track.

They came here not just to watch the race, but more so to scout for supercars.

For the rich, buying a supercar is as simple as buying a bicycle for ordinary people, so of course they want to choose the most prestigious one.

This is a kind of invisible competitive psychology.

Because when money reaches a certain level, they no longer have a concept of it.

What they want is to be superior and unique.

Just like red wine.

The older the vintage, the rarer the quantity—that's what the wealthy pursue.

Even if the wine has long expired, they still savor it with relish!!

It is foreseeable that

Whichever supercar brand shines brightly in this competition will become the object of fervent pursuit by the wealthy.

At this moment,

The participating manufacturers had already entered the venue one after another.

Since the broadcast rights for the competition had been purchased by a certain TV station, high-end cameras were prohibited at the scene to prevent footage leaks.

To present clearer footage to his fans, Chen Zhen finally managed to squeeze into a relatively forward position with great difficulty.

He zoomed the camera to its maximum magnification.

“Brothers, all the major participating brands have entered the track.”

“From now on, it’s the performance time for the World’s top supercars, don’t miss it.”

As soon as the words fell,

A completely pink supercar made a dazzling appearance.

The moment it appeared, countless flashes lit up.

And next to the car, a sexy car model held high a Ferrari logo sign.

The audience in the live stream room instantly climaxed.

“Holy cow, it’s a Ferrari!!”

“This car is too cool, I want it!!”

“Judging by the appearance, is this the ferrari fafa?”

“Wait, this isn’t the ferrari fafa, it just looks somewhat similar.”

“Indeed, the lines of this car are even smoother than the ferrari fafa, making it visually more pleasing.”

…

Chinese discussed heatedly.

Those enthusiasts who had extensive knowledge of supercars were also stunned.

This Ferrari supercar was a model they had never seen before.

The car body, both in terms of appearance and aerodynamics, was even more aligned with human aesthetics than the ferrari fafa.

Clearly,

Ferrari had gone to great lengths to participate in this competition.

The scene was not lacking in professionals; Novitski, the grandson of the “Father of Automobiles,” was one of them.

Upon seeing this car, he quickly discerned its secrets.

He couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

“Good heavens, to cater to this competition, Ferrari specifically upgraded the exterior and body materials based on the Ferrari Fara Plus.”

“To minimize car weight, the entire car is made of carbon fiber.”

“Looking at the frequency of exhaust emissions during its drive, the engine power should have been adjusted.”

“Previously, the best time for the Ferrari Fara Plus was one minute thirteen seconds; this time, the time should be able to advance by about 1-2 seconds.”

It must be said,

Professional is professional; he analyzed it in a glance.

And the facts were exactly as Novitski said.

Li Yalei, the Vice President of Ferrari, personally appeared at this time to introduce the new car.

He also personally admitted that modifications had indeed been made in these aspects.

The entire car body was a full 5 kilograms lighter than the original Ferrari Fara Plus.

The engine power used a turbocharged engine specifically designed for racing.

Many Chinese were displeased after hearing this.

“No, is this even allowed??”

“It was agreed that participating models must be mass-produced cars; isn’t this cheating??”

“If everyone operates like this, why not just rename the Supercar Racing Grand Prix to F1?”

“What the heck, withdraw, Ferrari must withdraw.”

However,

Facing the doubts, Li Yalei just smiled and pulled out a document.

“I apologize, our Ferrari Fara Super1 has already been approved and can be launched.”

“It is a mass-produced car!!”
