Chapter 135 The First Game Day
Due to Ye Ling's participation in the 2013 Dakar Rally, it suddenly attracted the attention of countless people all over the world.

2013, April 1.

The first day of the Dakar Rally has created the highest rate of broadcasting of this event. Like in the past, radio programs will not broadcast the Dakar Rally at all, but this year, due to Ye Lingna's sudden participation, many broadcasts Radio stations have broken the norm.

Before 2013, the speed and fury of the Dakar Rally could indeed be enjoyed on TV.However, in 2013, the copyright contract between CCTV and the Dakar Rally expired and was not renewed. Counting this year, it is the sixth year that the Dakar Rally has not been broadcast.

Why does CCTV no longer favor Dakar?

From the perspective of CCTV, there are more and more sports events nowadays, and the time CCTV can leave for the Dakar Rally is becoming more and more limited.The Dakar Rally is just another large-scale event with a schedule of nearly half a month, and the content of the game does not change much every day. If a large amount of time is used to continuously report such events, it is easy to cause aesthetic fatigue to the audience.

On the first day of the competition, Ye Ling and many participating car companies were increasingly unwilling to pay for the Dakar.As strong as the former Dakar overlord Mitsubishi and Volkswagen have withdrawn one after another, because they found that even winning the championship can only improve the brand image very limited: after all, car fans have long known that the cars participating in the Dakar Rally are completely different from the commercially available versions. It's two different things.The teams of domestic car companies are not only far away from winning the championship, but the two expenses of car modification, drivers and logistics support personnel's entry fees are already not a small burden.

Car companies have no incentive to pay, and CCTV has no incentive to broadcast. The Dakar Rally has almost no sense of presence on Chinese TV screens.

In fact, from the day the Dakar Rally was born, it was not for the audience to watch.

However, this year, there was a sudden explosion in the broadcast volume of the Rally Rally.

The reason for this was of course Ye Ling.

The first stage to meet him is: LIMA (Lima)-PISCO (Pisco) driving section: 250KM stage: 13KM.

"The show is about to start!" Ye Ling felt somewhat excited.

Ye Ling and his team carried out the last inspection and assembly of the racing car, and they were about to embark on the journey after confirming that it was correct.

Stability, flexibility, calmness, calmness, self-confidence... These are the various spirits Ye Ling wants to embody in this competition.

Mercedes Benz, as a world famous car brand, their team can be said to be very professional and expensive, even the car models they hired are world famous models.

Ye Ling accepted the reporter's last interview here, and he was already well prepared after that.

Although the first round of screening for the competitors will begin soon, but now, this 13km Dakar version of the mini "Super Short Track" in the suburbs of Pisco (Pisco) is mainly to conduct competitions according to the level of the competitors. An initial split/group, and this ranking will continue to change as the schedule progresses.Although this first stage (difficulty) will not be as "strong" as the famous PISCO wine, the postcard-like scenery is still fascinating.Although the first time trial stage with only a dozen kilometers in the area allows you to enjoy the scenery "relaxedly", but this kind of careless attitude and "relaxed" driving style in this stage must not mislead you , because the Dakar has already started.

In other words, the track process on the first day will not be difficult. The main purpose is to let the athletes adapt to the track and the athletes who participated in the competition for the first time to adapt to the current environment. At the same time, it tells you that the Dakar Rally has officially started.

The starting point of the race is Lima, the capital of Peru. In the first stage of this race, it can be said that the road is almost flat. It will not be until the later stage that there will be a short-distance special stage, a small desert, and the drivers have to pass through The places are all roads and dirt roads. Although this road is gradually implemented in the car, there is not much time to enjoy the scenery along the way, but the athletes sitting in the co-pilot can introduce some opportunities to appreciate Lima, the capital of Peru. customs.

I have to say that the air and environment in Lima are pretty good. Although there are no grasslands and lakes here, there is almost no pollution here. The sky is as blue as white and there are many clouds. The air is very clean except for the occasional dust brought up by some cars. .

Moreover, when the riders pass some roads, they occasionally see horses, camels and some animals that cannot be encountered on ordinary domestic roads.

For Ye Ling, this was quite new.

It can be said that Ye Ling's journey was very easy, and he hardly encountered any dangerous road sections, and his own driving skills were not reflected.

The distance of the first stage is 250 kilometers. Ye Ling's big G on his driver's license has an average speed of about 180 kilometers per hour. On some tracks, his speed even reached 240 kilometers.

180 kilometers, this speed can already be driven on China's highways, and the first stage, the entire race only lasted for more than an hour.

The third section is mainly to divert the drivers, and the competition time will be very short, which means that the real Dakar has officially started.

Ye Ling arrived at the base camp temporarily set up by the drivers early on.

In this first stage, Ye Ling was not left behind by professional drivers, but his results were not the best.

The 2013 Dakar Rally started and ended the first stage.In the car group, Cartel-Red Bull Racing Spanish driver Sainz led the race with a score of 23 minutes and 0 seconds. His teammate Attia was fourth, and Peterhansel of the MINI team was eighth.Sousa of the Great Wall Haval Racing Team ranked 20th, and Zhou Yong ranked 29th.The motorcycle group KTM team Lopez is the fastest.

The car group starts at 14:22 local time, and the starting sequence is based on the number of the participating drivers. Qatar driver Attiya starts first, and Chinese driver Zhou Yong of the Great Wall Haval Racing Team starts [-]nd.

最终卡塔尔-红牛车队西班牙车手塞恩斯以7分40秒率先完成特殊赛段，并以23分00秒在总成绩上领先。丰田车队阿根廷车手阿尔瓦雷兹落后24秒排在第二，法国车手奇切里特和塞恩斯的队友阿提亚并列第三位，落后塞恩斯30秒。MINI军团占据第6、7、8和第10位，其中九届冠军彼得汉塞尔暂居第八位，落后1分42秒。

长城哈弗车队的葡萄牙车手索萨落后2分57秒位居第20位，周勇落后3分45秒排在第29位。
