ROC National Cup?

When Lin Xiangbei heard this noun, he was a little surprised because he did not expect that the old drunkard would suddenly say this.

The English name of the ROC National Cup is race    of        champion, which is officially translated as "World Car King Championship".

This kind of event is similar to the NBA All-Star Weekend, bringing together various types of world-class professional racing champions to run together to satisfy the fantasy of Guan Gong fighting Qin Qiong in the minds of global car fans!

For example, what kind of scene is Schumacher in F1 and Loeb in WRC?

Or, Le Mans champion Chris Tentson, go to compete with DTM champion Aix Trom, who can be faster and stronger?

Even the American Indian local formula champion, cross-border and cross-border to have a peak showdown with the "God of Motorcycle" Rossi. What will happen?

It can be said that the ROC National Cup is the ultimate carnival for car fans, and it is also the finale and year-end celebration of the professional racing industry every year!

However, in the past, Chinese drivers were not qualified to play in this peak duel. Because every year, only 16 world-class drivers from 8 different countries will be invited to participate.

If you can become these 16 invited drivers, you will undoubtedly be of the world championship level. And you are not an ordinary world champion. You must be recognized as top internationally, such as f1, wrc, Le Mans, Indy, NASCAR, DTM and other familiar super events.

Think about it, when you look at events of this level, Chinese drivers don’t even have the qualifications to participate, let alone win the championship and join the car king to compete for the world. Naturally, others will not take you to the table to play.

However, there are always exceptions in these days. Sometimes, if you don’t have any results, you can play on the table through other ways. This way is the host!

Just like when hosting the Football World Cup, the host will get a quota, the host who hosts the ROC National Cup will also get an invited quota.

The 2009 ROC National Cup was held in the Bird's Nest in Yanjing, China. The double championship with CRC became a member of the Chinese team.

The drivers of another national team were obtained by Chinese driver Dong Hebin, so the Chinese team at that time could not be regarded as "pure" national team because Dong Hebin was a Dutch nationality.

But this is also impossible. At that time, I really couldn't find a second suitable high-level driver in China to participate. Dong Hebin was an official driver of the GP2 Trident team and was favored by Renault F1 team. He would have the opportunity to become the first Chinese F1 driver.

In fact, Dong Hebin did it. He officially signed with Renault F1 team in 2010 and became the third driver, equivalent to a substitute driver, and a level higher than the F1 test driver.

Therefore, Dong Hebin at that time represented the ceiling of Chinese racing strength, and in the Chinese car king competition, he also defeated Han Han to win the championship. The two of them formed a team to participate in the ROC National Cup, which was equivalent to taking out the strongest strength of Chinese racing, so that they would not lose too badly at home.

And then again, although Dong Hebin is a Dutch Chinese driver and doesn't even know how to speak Mandarin, he is not a banana person, or he chose to represent China in order to master the wealth code like "I love China".

The reason is that Dong Hebin belongs to three generations of Chinese. He was born in the Netherlands, so there is no choice for nationality.

However, when Dong Hebin registered his racing license, he resolutely chose Chinese nationality, and the national flag on the belt of the racing suit was always the bright red flag.

So on the championship podium, the national flag raised was also a red flag, not the tricolor flag of the Netherlands.

If Fia determines the driver's nationality, it can even be considered that China's first F1 driver is not Ma Qinghua, who became the hrrt team's test driver in 2012, but Dong Hebin, the third driver of Renault F1 team.

Seeing Lin Xiangbei thinking without answering, the old drunkard thought Lin Xiangbei had concerns or had no confidence in facing the strongest drivers in the world.

So he said, "You will participate in the Asia-Pacific Rally early next year, and you need to practice adaptation in more different terrain environments, such as snow and rainforests. Time may be very tight, so you don't need to consider the conflict between the ROC National Cup."

Although the ROC National Cup is full of quality, all those who can play on the table are king-level drivers, and they can even directly fight Schumacher.

But just like the NBA "All-Star Weekend", this is the time when successful top drivers give "benefits" to car fans around the world, without taking into account professional results.

And the car is also driven in a unified system, and it cannot show the driver's true level. To put it bluntly, it is an entertainment race.

If this affects the training and mentality of the formal competition, it is better not to participate. It is obvious that Lin Xiangbei is not ready to participate in the ROC National Cup.

"No, Uncle Xu, I want to participate!"

Lin Xiangbei came to his senses and responded quickly.

Just like Chinese football successfully entered the World Cup with the convenience of the Japanese and Korean hosts in 2002. The 2009 ROC National Cup may also be the only opportunity for Chinese racing that is rare in decades.

It is too difficult to have two top drivers of the world championship level appear in China at the same time at the same time.

Lin Xiangbei, who was in his previous life, was naturally not qualified to participate in such a peak event in 2009. However, the opportunity in his life was right in front of him, and it may be the only time in his career, and he didn't want to regret it.

"If you decide to participate, I can sign up for you and feel the strength of the world champion in advance."

The reason why the old alcoholic mentioned the ROC National Cup was actually to let Lin Xiangbei open his eyes and truly feel the strength of the world's strongest driver, which would help his career development.

After all, they all competed on the same stage with Schumacher, and then they ran with other drivers, at least they did not have that much pressure or disadvantage in their psychology.

"Well, I decided to participate."

Lin Xiangbei nodded without any hesitation.

Even as an F1 driver in his previous life, he had no chance to compete with Schumacher once. In this life, Lin Xiangbei wanted to face this car god directly!

The talk was almost over and the time passed. The old drunkard and Lin Xiangbei dragged the drunken Lezai, Li Wenfeng and others to the room, announcing the end of this alternative "post-match celebration".

After several people sobered up the next morning, Lin Xiangbei briefly explained the content of what he talked to Cheng Long. Just like an old drunkard's indifferent attitude, these people didn't care much about salary and benefits.

Because this is the current racing environment in China, it is actually a good treatment to lose money without "relying on "energy generation".

Many times, in this material world, fighting for dreams and hobbies rather than calculating gains and losses, seems a bit stupid in the eyes of others.

But it is precisely because of love that we can devote ourselves to everything!

The champion is not just Lin Xiangbei or Li Wenfeng's goal, but the entire team members are like this. On this journey, they can give up and endure a lot of things. Money can be said to be a very backward link.
