"Principal Nakajima, I believe Chen Xiangbei's skills have reached the level where there's no need for a selection race."
Sawano Hiroyuki calmed his shaken emotions and made his suggestion to Nakajima Goro.
The Honda Racing Academy is recruiting this batch of junior trainees, mostly to participate in the Renault Winter Series, competing for that ticket to enter European Formula.
But the problem is the registration scope for this race includes the entire Asia-Pacific region. Just in Japan alone, there are several well-funded factory teams like the Toyota Racing Academy and Nissan Youth Training Plan vying for that admission ticket.
Besides, there are private teams like Aguri and Mugen with their eyes set on it.
According to the initial plan of the racing academy, there would be an internal selection race to determine the strongest driver among this batch of trainees, to represent Honda in the Renault Winter Series.
