On the evening of the 15th, the CEOs and team managers of the 25 teams participating in the competition held a spontaneous gathering on an AA basis.

Wan Feng originally didn't want to participate, but couldn't resist the team manager Guo Xian's insistence, so he had to come and join in the fun.

To be honest, most of these teams are formed by individual enthusiasts with some financial resources. After achieving some results, they attracted the attention of some companies and received sponsorship.

There were more than fifty team bosses and team members in total, who gathered in a medium-sized hall in Panfeng Hotel with a total of six tables.

Wan Feng and Guo Xian arrived early, so there were not many people in the small hall.

The two of them sat down at a table in a corner that was temporarily empty.

Guo Xian is from Lu Ningjun's team. He and Zhou Liming are the kind of people who can get along well and are good at socializing.

Not long after this guy arrived in Jiangwei, he and Zhou Liming became like-minded.

Therefore, the old saying that birds of a feather flock together truly embodies the truth of the universe.

Wan Feng didn't have much contact with him, but he just remembered that this guy always had a smiling face.

Unfortunately, not long after he sat down, he received a call from the team saying that there was an emergency and Guo Xian needed to go back to resolve it.

Guo Xian went back before he even had time to sit down, leaving Wan Feng alone here.

People entered the hall one after another. Although the table where Wan Feng was sitting was in a remote area, many people sat there in a short while.

Wan Feng found that there were few people sitting at the best table in the small hall.

"Brother, are you also from the team?"

A middle-aged man sitting at the same table with Wan Feng lit a cigarette and asked Wan Feng.

Wan Feng shook his head: "He's not from the convoy."

Strictly speaking, he was not a member of the team, although he was the boss and was just here to broaden his horizons and join in the fun.

"Individual participants?"

Wan Feng thought about it and nodded: "I guess so."

"Actually, I really admire you individual participants. Racing is something you can't really get into without some financial resources. Those who can participate are all successful people in society. I wonder what this brother does for a living? What's your name?"

"I'm just doing a small business. Please excuse me, what's your name, big brother?"

"No need to mention your surname is Zhang."

"Brother Zhang! Which team are you from?"

"Mustang Team."

Wan Feng didn't know much about these teams. He only knew that the Mustang Team seemed to be a small team in Xishan Province.

"What classification competition are you participating in?"

"Group A and Group B."

Group A, Group B and the South Bay team participate in different manufacturer cups. The cars in these two groups can be modified. Group A can be modified without restrictions, while Group B has restrictions on modifications.

"Then I wish your team a successful start and good results."

Old Zhang shook his head. "Achieving good results in Beijing is no easy feat. Whether it's strength or connections, the off-road racers are the real local bosses. And since none of the strong teams from Nanyue are here, I predict the off-road racers will be the biggest winners of this race, with a chance of sweeping all the championships."

"Brother Zhang! Is the Nanyue team very strong?"

"Of course, nowadays, most of the famous off-road rally drivers in the country, except Bei Jing, are in Nanyue. If they don't come, off-roaders will be the only one in the game."

Next, Brother Zhang introduced the drivers from Guangdong to Wan Feng.

What surprised Wan Feng was that many drivers in Guangdong now use Guangwan Hongtu modified bikes.

"The Hongtu's power and gearbox are quite good. With just some modifications to the chassis and body, it can become a very good off-road racing car. I know several drivers have started using Hongtu."

Hongtu has changed to racing car?

Wan Feng mentioned Dingfeng and Great Wall indirectly, but to his disappointment no one had modified Nanwan's car.

This is so unfair, Summit and Great Wall are both very suitable for modifying racing cars.

The Great Wall itself is a non-load-bearing body, which is necessary for rally and off-road vehicles, and it is also easy to modify.

Even if it's the worst, it's still better than Hongtu!

It can only be said that these drivers are blind.

"Brother Zhang! I know that many of the famous riders in the Off-Road Team have strong financial backers, but winning all seven races is a bit far-fetched, isn't it?"

"Lao Yi said that they came to this tournament just for the Grand Slam."

Wan Feng didn't know who Lao Yi was, but he thought he should be the boss or manager of the off-road team.

"If the off-roaders take first place in the individual and club races in Groups A and B, as well as the Women's Cup, I have no problem with that, but they might not be able to do anything in the Manufacturers Cup. Just going after the weaker bike? I think that's a stretch."

The car that the off-roader took part in the Manufacturer's Cup was a weak Jeep from BAIC. As the three major parts remained unchanged, Wanfeng really didn't look down on it.

Ever since BAIC and the Americans started cooperating, this car has been in constant turmoil. Not only are there few models, but it also has many problems. Although the second-generation "Qiweiji" is the enlightenment car for domestic off-road drivers, it has no advantages compared with the top of Nanwan. It is not unreasonable for the people of Nanwan to call it "Qiweiji".

"Xiao Wan! We know this weak car is okay for racing, and it's just so-so in the race, but the Manufacturer's Cup is for mass-produced models and major modifications are not allowed. There aren't many manufacturers participating, so off-roaders still have an advantage."

Domestic car dealers mainly produce sedans, and there are not many that produce jeep off-road vehicles.

Here is the second-generation Sanling Pajero, which was put into production in China through a cooperation agreement between Nanhu Changfeng Automobile and Sanling Automobile, as well as the fourth-generation Nissan Patrol produced by a joint venture car company called Samsung.

Wan Feng thought about it and thought that if it was a mass-produced model, it seemed that apart from the Peak and Cutrucker from Nanwan, plus the Pajero and Patrol, there would be no other models participating in the competition.

Toyota does not have any joint venture in China, so it will probably take several years for its LC80 to enter China in this life.

There are only a few authentic off-road vehicle manufacturers now, but as far as Wan Feng knows, there are more than just a few teams participating in the competition.

There are still many car manufacturers in China that participate in the Manufacturer Cup competition, but they use modified cars with raised chassis.

Although the three major components are not allowed to be modified, the body of the car can still be modified.

At this time, most of the people in the small hall had arrived, and everyone was talking in low voices as if they were waiting for someone.

"We've been here for a long time, why hasn't the meal started yet? Who are we waiting for?" asked another person at Wan Feng's table.

"Just wait for Lao Yi, who else can I wait for?" another person at the table answered.

Wan Feng looked at the time. He had been here for half an hour and had just been sitting here talking nonsense.

He felt that there was no point in sitting any longer, so he prepared to get up and go back.

This party was of little use to him.

Just as he was about to get up, someone said, "Here they come."

Wan Feng turned his head to look at the door, and sure enough, someone came in with a swift and graceful stride, wearing a black suit, exuding a domineering aura.

There were just two people following behind him, making it look like the boss of the Black Shooting Society.

The person who came was Lao Yi, the boss of the off-road team.

Wan Feng was not sure what the specific name was.
