After Odetto finished speaking, he directly pushed a thick stack of data and track routing materials in front of Chen Xiangbei.

Staring at this stack of materials and Odetto's attitude, Qin Lianjie was dumbfounded.

Apart from the pre-race practice, Chen Xiangbei has only one week left to familiarize himself. Can he really commit so much data and routing to memory in such a short time?

The problem is that it can't be memorized rigidly; he has to learn to adapt based on changes in the track, raising the difficulty to another level.

Just when Qin Lianjie felt it was almost impossible, Chen Xiangbei accepted the stack of track data without any hesitation or argument, confidently saying, "I will remember it, Leader Odetto."

Holy crap...

Now Qin Lianjie understood why Chen Xiangbei had such monstrous driving skill improvements.

This level of professional pressure and intensity is entirely unimaginable for ordinary street racers.

To put it bluntly, Qin Lianjie felt that even during his college entrance exams, he never studied as seriously as Chen Xiangbei.

After finishing all this, Odetto left gracefully as was his usual style, leaving Sawano Hiroyuki and Mizutani Sho to stay with Chen Xiangbei, studying track data and racing lines together.

In addition, the technician group led by Liang Chi was likewise not idle.

If back in Huasi Sports, with technical and personnel support from Ford and Honda, Liang Chi and this group of Chinese technicians barely transcended the karting level and got exposed to real single-seat formula racing cars.

Now, without relying on world-class automotive companies, they haven't even touched an F3 race car. This situation is similar to Chen Xiangbei facing the East Ocean Circuit, starting from scratch with unfamiliarity!

It means that Liang Chi and the repair technician team must understand every mechanical principle and adjustment plan of the F3 cars through learning and "theoretical strategizing" before the race, or else Chen Xiangbei's car performance will not match the track.

To be honest, the appearance of this situation is still related to a lack of money.

Before Chen Xiangbei returned to China to negotiate sponsorship, he couldn't afford the entire team's travel expenses and wages.

Moreover, if he wants to hire the Brawn GP or Superdream technical team, it would essentially mean direct intervention from a team, and the sponsorship fee would have to be split fifty-five according to the contract.

Chen Xiangbei is not stingy about sharing revenue; instead, he clearly understands the mutual benefit relationship between drivers and teams.

If a team has sufficient R&D funds, it can provide the driver with more powerful cars.

If the team is poor and underperforming, the driver's results won't be good, and their commercial value will be greatly reduced.

Throughout history, many talented drivers in lower levels lacked a top-level car to showcase their strength and talent, and with a bit of luck, winning a WDC wouldn't be impossible.

Why has the Ferrari Team become a dream for so many drivers, and why is Alonso called the "team picker genius"? It's because in Formula One, drivers often determine the performance floor, while cars determine the performance ceiling!

To achieve good results, there must be strong team support.

But the problem is, before a car is tested in actual combat, no one knows if it can reach the "Mars Rover" standard, so choosing a team requires a keen eye and luck.

Obviously, Alonso doesn't excel in these two areas; after winning two world championships, he spent over a decade moving around and never found a car capable of contending for a third title.

If you don't want to gamble with luck, choosing a traditional team might be more prudent.

Undoubtedly, Ferrari, which has never left the "Holy Trinity," became the prancing horse totem in the hearts of many drivers!

Unfortunately, the "Ferrari dream" isn't very reliable, still living off Schumacher and Raikkonen's past glory after more than a decade.

Chen Xiangbei still hasn't resolved his own training and competition funding issues, far from being able to enhance the team through sponsorship funds.

People like Odetto and Sawano Hiroyuki are currently here under the guise of private relationships to "help." He must obtain sufficient sponsorship through the Australian Grand Prix to solve future racing fund issues in one go!

"Xiangbei-kun, I've only competed in GT races on the East Ocean Circuit; lots of routing experience might not suit formula racing, so you need to discern and judge for yourself."

Before explaining and discussing, Sawano Hiroyuki specifically emphasized this to prevent leading Chen Xiangbei into mistaken cognition.

Although he was a champion in both Japan's Super Formula and Super GT, his entire formula racing career was spent in Japan, never having the chance to move to Europe, let alone participate in the Australian Grand Prix.

After retiring from formula racing and transitioning to GT races, Sawano Hiroyuki then came to Australia to compete in the FIA GT World Cup, constrained by performance and structural differences, where the routing might differ significantly.

It's crucial to know the fastest lap in the highest GT category on Australia's East Ocean Circuit is 2 minutes and 17.182 seconds, but the record lap in F3 is as high as 2 minutes and 6.317 seconds.

Despite the seemingly small gap of less than eleven seconds, it actually results in different braking points and cornering speeds for each corner, so GT racing lines can only serve as reference, and Chen Xiangbei shouldn't fully accept them.

"I understand, Sawano."

Chen Xiangbei nodded; it's just that Sawano Hiroyuki's personality is somewhat overly cautious. Could he really commit such a basic mistake?

Without much useless talk, the few people entered a meticulous analysis process through the projector. Lu Xiaoman didn't stay for long, yawning repeatedly from the dull theoretical data, and unable to carry on, she got up and left the conference room.
