Chapter 373 BBA Simultaneous Participation
After some discussion, Ma Huafu was very surprised by Zhou Fei's racing competition plan. Since he also likes car racing very much, Ma Huafu is very familiar with all the competitions of the FIA.

The WRC rally is divided into two groups, the original factory group and the modified group, and each group is subdivided into four groups according to the different car displacements. If Mercedes-Benz is going to participate in this year's WRC Spain race, Those who sign up should be the original factory group, that is, Group N.

"Mercedes-Benz is participating in the original factory group. There are not many modifications to the racing car. We only need to make improvements in terms of safety and environmental protection. If we prepare now, it is completely in time. However, the Mercedes-Benz company will agree to our proposed competition. ?"

After listening to Zhou Fei's words, Ma Huafu suddenly looked at Zhou Fei and asked.From the beginning to the end, Zhou Fei was talking about himself alone. Mercedes-Benz and Mercedes-Benz are just partners. Zhou Fei should not be their master.

If Mercedes-Benz doesn't agree, then no matter how thorough the two of their plans are, it will be useless.

"Don't worry, I believe that Professor Muller will definitely not refuse. Such a good publicity opportunity, even if Mercedes-Benz cannot win the WRC, being able to make an appearance in such an event will definitely have a great impact on further improving the popularity of Mercedes-Benz cars. It is beneficial, what reason do they have to refuse." Zhou Fei replied with a smile, his tone was full of confidence, as if he had the final say on the Mercedes-Benz.

Ma Huafu thought about it seriously, and felt that what Zhou Fei said made sense, so he didn't ask any more questions.

"When do you plan to modify the Mercedes-Benz racing car that week?" Although Mercedes-Benz participated in the original factory group, there are not many places that need to be modified, but it is the first time to participate in the competition. The more confident you are.

What's more, just having a racing car is not all the conditions for being able to participate in the competition. The driver is also a problem that Zhou Fei and the others need to face at present, and it is probably the biggest problem.

If you can't find a suitable driver, no matter how successful the car modification is, it will be useless in the end. All of this needs to be prepared by Mercedes-Benz this morning.

"I'll contact Mueller in a while and ask them to prepare the Mercedes-Benz racing car." Zhou Fei replied with a smile.

Regarding the plan to let Mercedes-Benz participate in the WRC Rally Championship, Zhou Fei had already discussed with Muller. It became popular all over the Internet, and the plan was shelved for a while.

However, under Zhou Fei's insistence, Mercedes-Benz has not completely given up on this plan, but has been preparing for it all the time. If there is no accident, Muller should be able to complete the Mercedes-Benz racing car at the end of this month. The remodel has worked.

"By the way, Mr. Ma, I suddenly have a bold idea." Zhou Fei suddenly looked at Ma Huafu with great interest, "I was wondering, can our Audi cars also participate in this year's competition?"

"Boss Zhou means that we build a team by ourselves? Of course we can!" Ma Huafu couldn't help answering excitedly after hearing the words.

No matter how good the Mercedes-Benz is, it belongs to someone else. No matter how close the relationship between the two parties is, it is not as good as their own brand.

If Zhou Fei can take the opportunity to form a team, it will be more convenient and logical for Mercedes-Benz to participate in various FIA competitions in the future.

"Which car brand do you want us to participate in that week?" Ma Huafu continued to ask.

"I want BMW and Audi to compete at the same time!" Zhou Fei replied decisively.

Originally, Zhou Fei’s idea was to build a Mercedes-Benz company’s fleet mainly based on Mercedes-Benz. After the secrets about Mercedes-Benz were exposed in the future, Zhou Fei could use the existing lineup of the Mercedes-Benz team to show off in auto racing. During this period, other models of Mercedes-Benz will no longer participate in auto racing.

But Zhou Fei thinks about it carefully. Regarding the exposure of Mercedes-Benz secrets, I don’t know how long it will take. Before the exposure, Zhou Fei is also inconvenient to blatantly intervene in the affairs of the Mercedes-Benz team. This is obviously unacceptable to Zhou Fei. of.

After thinking for a while, Zhou Fei came up with a whim, how about setting up another team besides the Mercedes-Benz team. Even if the secret of Mercedes-Benz is exposed in the future, the Mercedes-Benz team can also focus on F1. You can continue to participate in car events like WRC or Le Mans Endurance Race, and strive to achieve full coverage of car events!
And this year, Zhou Fei can make "BBA" appear in the WRC event at the same time, participate in different groups of competitions, and it is best to win the championship of their respective groups!
"If both Audi and BMW participate, Zhou always intends to let these two car brands be in the same group with Mercedes-Benz, or should they be scattered in different groups?"

"Of course they are scattered in different groups. I plan to use the BMW 5 series to participate in the original factory group competition. It happens to be different from the Mercedes-Benz C-class car in terms of displacement. As for the Audi, I plan to let it participate in the modification group, not the original factory group!" Zhou Fei replied with a smile.

If it's all the original factory group, it's so boring, the modified group's competition is more interesting.

"Mr. Zhou, are you sure you want BMW and Audi to participate in this year's Rally Championship at the same time, and there will be an original factory team and a modified team?" Ma Huafu gave a wry smile helplessly.
"I really want to remind Mr. Zhou that there is nothing wrong with participating in the competition itself, but in terms of preparation for the event, if Audi is allowed to participate in the modification team, let alone whether we can complete the car modification on schedule, even if we can complete it, our drivers and navigators , is also a big problem.”

Zhou Fei can naturally understand what Ma Huafu is worried about. The biggest problem for Mercedes-Benz to participate in the WRC rally is not the preparation of the car, but the team members.

During the WRC competition, a car needs to be equipped with a driver and a navigator at the same time, but all the teams that can succeed in this event have a perfect combination of car, driver and navigator.

What's more, in addition to drivers and navigators, the team also needs various other technical personnel. Ma Huafu thinks it is too difficult to pull such a team in just over a month, especially It's the drivers. Those well-known drivers in the world have already signed with the major teams. Who would flirt with you, a young bird who is competing for the first time.

Therefore, after calm thinking, Ma Huafu still felt that Zhou Fei’s suggestion was unrealistic. Building a team is different from developing a new car. Zhou Fei can complete the development of a new car within a few days, but Ma Huafu thinks How can he not complete the formation of a team within a few days.

"Please don't worry about this, Mr. Ma. Since I dare to bring it up, there is naturally a way to solve it. I will leave the matter of the driver and the navigator to me. I will trouble Mr. Ma to worry about the rest of the car modification. "

Zhou Fei smiled, with his usual confidence on his face.
