Chapter 423: First Taste of the Isle of Man Circuit
Two days later, the weather finally cleared, and Yang Meng and Xiao Peng followed Scheer to the track of the Isle of Man TT.
"We come according to the rules of the Isle of Man TT, and I ride out and leave every ten seconds! Schell said as he sat on his motorcycle.
The Isle of Man TT's original starting style was a so-called 'Liman start', with the car parked on one side of the track and the driver standing on the other side, and the driver had to rush to the opposite side to pick up the car and start at the start of the race. But then there was an accident that ran over the driver, and after that, it was changed to the current one, and one car rushed out in ten seconds.
Yang Meng gave a thumbs up to Shelby: "Xiao Peng, familiarize yourself with the road first!" he told Xiao Peng.
Xiao Peng said, "I want your helmet!"
The '666' he said was not a compliment to Yang Meng, but a reference to Yang Meng's helmet.
Yang Meng's helmet is a limited edition of SHOEI, Heekman created an average fastest speed of 217.989 kilometers per hour in 2018, SHOEI launched this helmet, because Heekman was 666 when he was racing, so SHOEI This helmet was launched a total of 666, with '666' printed on the back of the head.
In other words, Heckerman is good enough to dare to choose this number.
You must know that in Western religious concepts, '6' is considered a defective number, and '7' is a perfect number, so 666 represents Satan the Devil, and 777 represents the omniscient and all-powerful God. Heckerman set a record on a 666 motorcycle, and then launched a limited helmet with the 666 number------ Are you a Satanist?
In fact, Xiao Peng's helmet is also very good, it is the Isle of Man TT special edition helmet launched by ARAI last year, and the fluorescent yellow with black and white is also very beautiful. Most of the top Isle of Man TT riders opt for ARAI helmets, but this one is much more modest than the '666'.
Yang Meng laughed after hearing this: "If you crash at such a fast speed, what kind of helmet is useless." Be careful when you ride!"
"People die and birds rise to the sky, and they will not die for thousands of years!" Xiao Peng pressed the goggles on his helmet.
Yang Meng said angrily after hearing this: "Your uncle!" He also pressed the goggles on his helmet.
Can he make Xiao Peng fall to his death? Of course not!
He has already put a protection spell on Xiao Peng's body, even if he falls into a car, he can save his life, as long as he can save his life, he can be cured!
He moved his hands and feet and started the motorcycle.
It is said that this Augusta F4RR is slightly higher than other sports cars, which looks more beautiful and powerful, but the air resistance is also greater, which affects the performance of this car at high speeds.
Ten seconds after Xie Er rushed out, Xiao Peng started, and after another ten seconds, Yang Meng also started. And neither of them was in a hurry, and now after rubbing the tires for a while on the S-shaped forward on the track, both of them rushed out with a bang on the accelerator!
"Hey, I didn't expect that there are still people in the Han who know motorcycles!" The man who spoke was David Rooney, a mechanic on Scheer's team, and he said to the person next to him, "Do you think they can keep up with Scheer?"
The person next to him replied, "It depends on whether Sheel releases water or not." Scheer would have no problem running into two hundred. But what is the fastest score of the Han people?"
“170
?172? That's about the same level. That's a professional race car driver, and both of them are amateurs. Rooney said.
Long Teng didn't want to listen to this: "What's wrong with the amateur?
Rooney smiled after hearing this: "I'm sorry, it's me who can't express it clearly, don't think I'm the kind of person who hates the Han Kingdom, I love the Han Kingdom, I won't tell you, I'm all learning Chinese by myself, and one day I will retire and go to the Han Kingdom to live." I know your Han Kingdom, and your people are great, but you don't have a motorcycle culture, so it's not strange that you can't play motorcycles. This is the same reason that we rotten people can't play table tennis well. We prefer sports that we invented, like football!"
After hearing this, Long Teng pouted and said, "Table tennis was also invented by you, okay?"
"Huh?" Rooney shook his head, "It's impossible! That's the magic of your Han people!"
"How is it impossible?" Long Teng said: "At the end of the nineteenth century, some of your college students here invented table tennis, using the dining table as a table and the book as a net, and just playing it around, and also named it 'table tennis'. You are the origin of table tennis! If you don't play well, you won't admit that you invented it? You can go to Google and find out. ”
Rooney spread his hands: "Well, even if we invented table tennis, you can play better, but we prefer vigorous and exciting sports! boxing, fighting, racing, football, rugby! ”
Long Teng pouted and said, "We can do anything else!"
Rooney shrugged his shoulders and said noncommittally, can you do it? Look at your football skills! Can you beat our junior team?
After all, it's a friend of the person who saved Shel, so let's save some face for them. He resolutely chose to shut up, and there he looked at his laptop, which was transmitting all the data of Scheer's motorcycle in real time.
As a good mechanic, Rooney has to use this data to see the condition of the car and make adjustments at any time.
"Huh?" Rooney looked at the notebook and frowned, "That's not right!"
"What's wrong?" asked a member of Sher's team next to him curiously.
Rooney shook his head, "What is Schell doing? She's at 283 mph on the Sulby Straight!"
"Wouldn't it?" The other person looked at the laptop: "Damn, what is she doing? so serious?" Speaking of this, he glanced at Long Teng and lowered his voice, "Is she going to teach those two Han people a lesson so that they know what 'Isle of Man' TT is?"
You know, the so-called 'Isle of Man TT' race is a 60.7-kilometre loop connecting the Isle of Man A3 and A18, with 226 large and small corners throughout the track, the most famous of which is the one-mile-long 'Sulby Straight', which is a road that sets the speed, and the Isle of Man TT's top speed record is 331.5 km/h, which was set here by a modified Suzuki GSX-R1000.
Scheer's speed of 288 kilometers per hour may seem a bit unworthy compared to that top speed, but it is important to know: firstly, Schell is a woman, and it is difficult for her strength to control such a fast car, and secondly, the top speed of the Augusta F4RR is less than 300 kilometers per hour.
Of course, this is talking about production models, not modified models. Yang Meng and Xiao Peng rode in mass production, while Shear's was an out-and-out modified car, of course, it was difficult to play the limits of that car with Scheer's driving skills
That's it.
Rooney shook his head: "There's no way Shell could do that, after all, that's her savior, and God knows why she's so serious." According to the data, she started to slowly increase speed from the time she was two miles old, was it to ensure that she was in good shape?"
The two of them were puzzled, according to the data, Scheer was not her best result, but definitely a serious sports car, what was the situation?
In less than twenty minutes, Scheer's car came into view, and then began to slow down.
Rooney looked at the time: "184 mph." ”
As a result, as soon as he finished speaking, another car appeared in his sight, he rubbed his eyes, and he was not mistaken, it was indeed a blue F4RR, the person on the car was a yellow, black and white helmet, this was Xiao Peng's, and then a car followed him and roared, orange F4RR, black riding clothes, black and yellow and white helmet, this is Yang Meng's one.
Rooney was dumbfounded: "More than 180 per hour? This is the first time to run on the Isle of Man? God, I'm not mistaken, right?"
Three cars stopped in front of them one after another, Xiao Peng took off his helmet and let out a sigh: "This is really a test of concentration, this is one lap, how can you bear it after six laps!"
Yang Meng stopped beside him, heard his words and said: "This tire can't carry six laps, and the non-modified car is only four laps." If I'm not mistaken, the shortest time to run six laps was 103 minutes and 8 seconds. That's 17 minutes and 20 seconds for a lap. And the fastest lap here is 16 minutes and 42 seconds, why has the speed slowed down? I just can't do it for so long, and the concentration is so high. ”
Xiao Peng asked curiously, "What is the record of the public upgrade non-modified group?"
"16 minutes and 50 seconds. Yang Meng replied: "The average speed reaches more than 216 kilometers per hour. ”
"How many did we run?" Xiao Peng asked again.
"More than 19 points. The average speed is about 18 per hour?" Yang Meng replied, "What are you going to do?"
Xiao Peng put on his helmet again: "I'll get familiar with the track and see if I can break a lap record." Are you going?"
Yang Meng pointed to his head: "This track is not difficult. All 226 corners are in my mind's eye. ”
"If you don't pretend to be X, you can die!" Xiao Peng gestured his middle finger, just as a motorcyclist in front of him had just set off for a practice session, and he waited for ten seconds before hitting the accelerator and starting again.
Schell parked the car and walked over and said, "Yang, are you really not professional race car drivers?
She was a little stunned now, and at the beginning she wanted to take Yang Meng and them to run in circles to feel it, but when they led the way in front, the two of them thought they were slow, and all kinds of flashing lights and whistles signaled that they were faster, but their speed went up and the two of them could still keep up!
What's even more annoying is that they have always maintained the same speed as themselves, they are fast when they are fast, and they are slow when they are slow. The implication is obvious: are they still relaxed and have a lot of leeway?
Yang Meng listened to Xie Er's words and smiled: "Probably this kind of car with few electronic devices is more suitable for us, right? We used to ride motorcycles, but we didn't have so many electronic devices, we just relied on reaction, technology, and strength." It really feels a lot easier to ride these bikes now. ”
Before Sheel could answer, a sneer came from the side, and a man said in a strange tone: "What's the situation? Now when will it be the turn of the Han people to brag about the Isle of Man TT?"
