Upon hearing Chen Xiangbei's "arrogant" words, Ross Brown realized that his comfort was somewhat unnecessary.

The Chinese Kid has a big heart and doesn't need any consolation.

"Xiangbei, you're right; without confidence, how can one become an F1 Driver?"

"If you need technical support from the Brown GP Team, feel free to contact me anytime."

Although Chen Xiangbei has already decided to participate in the F3 races with the Dream Team, compared to the legitimate F1 team Brown GP, the former Super Aguri "remnants" are still somewhat lacking.

Anyway, Chen Xiangbei doesn't care about external doubts and criticisms, so he decided to maximize the support behind him.

Let the outside world see that Chinese drivers also have ample capital!

"Mr. Brown, thank you for your kindness, but the Dream Team is sufficient."

Chen Xiangbei politely declined and then turned his gaze to Odetto nearby.

The two exchanged a glance, and both showed a slight smile; everything was understood without words.

...

After visiting the Brown GP Team, Chen Xiangbei didn't stay long in the P room and turned to lead the crew to the Campos Team's garage.

Compared to the busy and lively scene of the Brown GP Team, the Campos Team P room could be described with the four words "desolate and depressed," where only a dozen engineers and maintenance technicians were assembling equipment, similar to Chen Xiangbei's situation at the Australian Grand Prix.

The problem is that the Australian F3 doesn't require mandatory pit stops, allowing for a significant reduction in maintenance technicians and tire changers.

The Spa F3 race process and rules are much more rigorous and complex, and it's challenging for a dozen people to maintain the team's operation.

Upon seeing the arrival of Chen Xiangbei and others, a slightly balding middle-aged man came over and introduced himself, "Hello, I'm Ecola, the Operations Director of Campos Team."

"Hello, I'm Chen Xiangbei."

"Xiangbei, welcome to Campos Team."

Ecola was very enthusiastic, as Chen Xiangbei's arrival was a win-win situation for the team.

And it's a win-win situation for Campos Team twice!

One must know that Campos Team isn't a weak team; a genuinely poor lower-tier Formula Team couldn't possibly hope to upgrade to F1.

The reason it fell to this state was because the strength didn't match the ambition of the team's founder, Campos.

Just last year, Campos Team, relying on the performance of its drivers Di Grassi and Petrov, claimed the GP2 annual team championship title.

This result completely strengthened the founder Campos's resolve, as he sold the GP2 participation rights to obtain funds that year and transferred part of the F3 team assets, completely betting everything on F1 in hopes of securing a starting position.

2009 was precisely during the transition period for Campos Team, with the senior staff fully focused on forming the F1 team.

The GP2 participation rights and crew had already been sold, leaving only an F3 feeder team in a neglected state.

Originally, the F3 feeder team was struggling to survive, but Chen Xiangbei contributed 50,000 euros along with his own team, not only helping Campos Team survive a little longer but perhaps even gaining fame on the Spa Circuit.

If this isn't winning twice, then what is?

Based on the above reasons, Operations Director Ecola naturally greeted Chen Xiangbei with a smile.

"Thank you, I'm also pleased to collaborate with Campos Team."

After exchanging pleasantries, Chen Xiangbei got to the point.

"Ecola, can we formally take over this P room now?"

With the team on the brink of dissolution and spirits low, Chen Xiangbei doesn't trust the work stance of Campos Team's engineers and technicians.

Since he has already decided to involve the Dream Team, he might as well take over entirely.

"Of course."

Ecola readily agreed; they never intended to have Campos Team's members tune the equipment for Chen Xiangbei. The engineers and technicians here serve another driver of the team.

Without much unnecessary talk, the Dream Team's twenty-something members entered the P room and immediately got to work.

Even though they've been away from the circuit for over a year and are somewhat unfamiliar, they still have the foundational experience of a former F1 team. Moreover, under Odetto's pressure, the high-intensity practices at the Catalonia Circuit restored them to much of their previous state.

Their actions and efficiency appeared overwhelming compared to the members of Campos Team.

This is the source of the "Specialized Car's" advantage; F1 is, after all, F1!

"Xiangbei, let's walk the track."

Odetto gestured, then walked out of the P room.

Upon hearing this, Chen Xiangbei didn't speak much and followed him to the Spa main circuit.

Compared to other less prominent tracks, Chen Xiangbei is quite familiar with Belgium's Spa Circuit.

The reason is simple; he had practically run it in his past life!

Spa Circuit joined the F1 race calendar as far back as fifty years ago, and after 1979, the track layout hasn't undergone any major changes, meaning Chen Xiangbei only needs to remember detail modifications and the track's road surface environment.

To be honest, many aspects of Chen Xiangbei's participation so far, despite having past experience, are still inferior to some local drivers in Europe.

But this time, Chen Xiangbei won at the starting line.

"Xiangbei-kun, regarding the corners and layout of Spa Circuit, I trust I don't need to introduce it extensively."

"The only difficulty lies in your need to withstand the G-force pressure from the car suspension tuning."

Sawano Hiroyuki didn't give Chen Xiangbei much "rote learning," only reminding him of the current shortcoming.

On an ultra-high-speed track with large high-low drops, the suspension has to be tuned to the hardest parameters, requiring the driver to endure the lateral G-force during cornering.

A racing simulator can never replicate a real track experience; Chen Xiangbei's physical fitness has improved significantly over the past two months, but it isn't enough to meet the challenges of Spa Circuit.
