在很早以前,我对赛车或超跑十分无感,不太理解在各种著名赛道上狂奔的速度机器们到底是为了什么,也不觉得那些偶尔在公路上呼啸而过甚至拆掉了消音器的跑车们有多炫酷。直到有一天,在那个酷热的夏夜,我偶然坐上了一个好朋友开的R8,那种瞬间启动带来的强烈,推背感至今都难以忘记,也从此在我的字典里添加了“推背感”三个字。再后来,我成了一名专业的汽车编辑,上过了各种赛道,试驾了众多超跑,也参加了国内大多数赛车节日,发现这些优秀的跑车带给人们的不仅仅是速度体验,它们更是人类的热情梦想与工业文明高度结合的产物,它们代表的是一种文化,一种赛车的文化。那么,什么才是真正的赛车文化?在上海赛车场观众席里,我并没有得到真正的答案。幸运的是,今年6月,我收到了来自大众的邀请,去现代汽车文化的发源地——德国观看2014纽博格林24小时耐力赛,并随后参加奥迪R8试驾活动。我想,或许在德国,我可以找到答案。 Very early I had no sense of racing or running, did not quite understand the speed of running on all the famous tracks, what did the machines really do, and I did not think the occasional roar of the highway or even the dismantling How cool sports car are. Until one day, on that hot summer night, I happened to sit on a good friend to open the R8, the kind of instant start brought strong, push back feel so far are hard to forget, and from there in my dictionary added “Push back feeling” three words. Later, I became a professional car editor, had a variety of track, test drive a lot of super run, also participated in most of the domestic racing festival and found that these outstanding sports car to bring people more than just speed Experience, they are more human passionate dreams and industrial civilization is a product of a high degree of integration, they represent a culture, a car culture. So, what is the real racing culture? I did not get the real answer in the audience of Shanghai Circuit. Fortunately, in June of this year, I received an invitation from the general public to visit the 2014 Nurburgring 24 hour race in Germany, the birthplace of Hyundai Motor, and then take part in the Audi R8 test drive. I think, perhaps in Germany, I can find the answer.
