The genius remembers "Love ♂ Go ÷ Little? Say → Net" in one second, to provide you with wonderful novel reading.

"China Power?" Ross Brown repeated, and then said: "This reminds me of the current Force India team. [Love ↑Go △ Small ↓ Say △ Net wqu]"

"In fact, I only want to participate in the Formula One competition against the Force of India." Zhang Guan said easily.

"Want to hear the details." Ross Brown said immediately.

"Things need to start with Mumbai. I was there when Mumbai was attacked a few days ago. I think you should have learned about this matter through the news..." Zhang Guan slowly explained the reason for the matter, and Ross -The more Brown listens, the more incredible it becomes, especially when he hears a 500 million dollar gamble, he screams in surprise.

"My God, Mr. Zhang Guan, aren't you kidding! 500 million US dollars in gambling? To fight for a sigh of relief! This is really crazy." Rose Brown said.

"Of course not, this is not just a fight, but to make 500 million US dollars! I said before, I came to you because you can build the fastest car in the world, I believe your car, Can help me earn this 500 million US dollars!" Zhang Guan said.

"Okay! I will do my best." Ross Brown took a deep breath. He was very pessimistic about Zhang Guan, but said, "I also hope you can create miracles."

"Sure!" Zhang Guan said firmly.

"If you really can make 500 million US dollars from the Maria family, then you have to pay me this season's salary." Ross Brown made a joke, then he said: "The team is currently buying Come down, but we still need an operating expense."

"This is no problem, I have prepared some, the first batch of 10 million US dollars of funds will be available immediately." Zhang Guan said.

"To be honest, I don't have much money anymore. I'm afraid I can't get much out of the team's operating expenses. But I plan to go to Germany tomorrow to finalize the racing engine." Ross Brown said.

"Want to use a Mercedes-Benz engine?" Zhang Guan asked.

"Yes, when I was in Ferrari, I wanted to use Mercedes engines. Unfortunately, Ferrari is a manufacturer team. They have their own engines. I estimate that we will use 30 car engines in the new season. I will talk to Mercedes about how to get the credit of the car engine first. In addition, I will see if I can get the engine test data of the McLaren team. After all, we have fallen behind in this respect." Ross Brown Said.

The full name of the McLaren team is the Vodafone-McLaren-Mercedes team, so they are also Mercedes-Benz's manufacturer teams. Until later, Mercedes made a special Mercedes-Benz team, McLaren Lun changed to an independent team.

The racing engine is undoubtedly the heart of a racing car. All the research and development of the racing car is about letting the engine maximize its effect. Of course, the most expensive part of a racing car is this engine. It is normal for a Formula One team to invest 100 million yuan a year, but this 100 million yuan does not include the cost of automobile engine development. For example, for the Ferrari team, the money spent on the team is about 200 million US dollars each year, but if the engine development is included, they will spend more than 400 million US dollars, and the cost of automobile engine development will even exceed the entire cost. The cost of supporting the team is just that the cost of engine development is provided by Ferrari manufacturers. This money is not included in the cost of the team.

If it is an independent team, of course you can save the cost of engine development, but the independent team needs to spend money to buy car engines from the manufacturer team, and also need to provide the manufacturer team with the data of each engine for the manufacturer team to carry out Improve. In order to maintain the continuity of the development of the racing car, which engine is used by an independent team is often fixed. It is impossible for an independent team to use Ferrari this year, Renault next year, and Mercedes Benz the following year.

At the same time, the manufacturer's team is also very cautious about selling the engine, which can not be bought for money. Buyers and sellers often sign contracts for several years on engine transactions.

If Ross Brown could really get the racing engine from Mercedes-Benz, it would save the team a lot of money.

In the v10 engine era, there is no limit to the number of regular-year racing engines. At that time, a team needed about 130 engines per year, including race use, qualifying use, practice use, test use, etc. The most expensive Ferrari engine of the era is equivalent to more than 300,000 euros, and 130 engines are almost 40 million. This is the money a team spends on car engines a year.

Later, the 4-liter v8 naturally aspirated engine replaced the v10 engine. The number of cylinders in the engine was less, but the speed of the car was faster, so the price of the engine was more expensive. At present, the price of a racing engine is about 1 million euros. This money can buy a Bugatti, and a rule can use a maximum of 8 engines and 4 test engines a season, that is, a total of 12 engines, value About 12 million euros, and two cars in a team will cost at least 24 million euros on the racing engine. So if Ross Brown can get the engine from Mercedes, only the interest during the period will save a lot of money for the team, and its contribution is no less than the 10 million euros of team running funds invested by Zhang Guan.

In the future, when the racing engine becomes a 6-liter V6 turbo, which makes the technology more sophisticated, and at that time the price of each engine was as high as 4 million euros. So in the future, some local tyrants will spend huge sums of money to buy supercars. It is nothing in front of F1. A top supercar can't even buy a car engine in Formula One.

...

At midnight on March 5, British local time, Ross Brown announced that it was announced that he would take over the former Honda F1 team. The statement also confirmed that the team will use Mercedes-Benz engines to compete.

The news immediately caused a sensation in the car industry. There was only one week left before the last public test of the new season. Everyone thought that the Honda team would be disbanded, but he didn't expect Rose Brown to come forward and buy it Convoy.

The reporters immediately asked the International Automobile Federation to verify the truth of this matter, and they also got a positive answer. Ross Brown did become the owner of the Honda team, and the name of the new team is "Power of China"!

This name surprised all the media. Ross Brown is an authentic British, but the team is called "China Power", which makes everyone think of the current Force India team. Anyone with a little brain can realize that there is definitely Chinese capital involved in this team.

"The team is called China Power, and it must be a team acquired by Chinese capital. I have never heard of any Chinese capital tycoon wanting to buy Honda team!"

"Yeah, there are scandals about the acquisition of Honda team from several investment groups, but there should be no Chinese team among them!"

"Power of China? China's first F1 team? Has the Chinese finally begun to enter the world's top sports?"

"According to the regulations, tomorrow morning, the International Automobile Federation will announce the information of all the teams participating in the new season. By then we will be able to see the specific information of this China Power team, and we will know that the team’s boss is Who is it?"

The next morning, countless reporters stayed by the computer, waiting for the latest auto team information to be released by the International Automobile Federation.

"Come out! The International Automobile Federation has officially announced the team information!" A reporter quickly opened the page.

"China Power Team, established: March 2009, team owners: Zhang Guan, Ross-Brown." (To be continued.) Mobile phone users, please browse for a better reading experience.
