In Europe, drivers can join various levels of racing clubs to practice, Zhou Guanyu, a Chinese guy, one of the secrets of his success is to fight his father, my father is Zhou Wenfang.
When Zhou Guanyu was 8 years old, his father built him the largest and most advanced go-kart park in China at that time in Weifang, and spent 12 million!
At the age of 12, in order to further his studies, Zhou Guanyu was sent to the United Kingdom to attend the Westbourne School in Sheffield, with a tuition fee of 150,000 yuan a year, which is not expensive, but the cost of practicing in the UK is more than 500,000 yuan a year.
At the age of 15, Zhou Guanyu entered the Ferrari Academy Academy, which is known as the cradle of F1 drivers, and the course price ranges from 18,800 to 39,500 US dollars, but the course duration is only two days, and after two days, 280,000 yuan is gone.
