Except for the asphalt road at the beginning of the SS1 stage, the rest of the road is dirt roads, surrounded by many dirt bags, glowing red and yellow, and the road surface is mostly gravel, along which almost all of them make sharp turns.

In order to avoid energy loss at high speeds, all the way is two-wheel drive driving, which is the strength of Mitsubishi four-wheel drive technology, Mitsubishi Pajero EVO uses the first generation of super-selected four-wheel drive.

The essence of super-selected four-wheel drive is a set of full-time four-wheel drive, but it can be switched to a 2WD two-wheel drive form similar to time-sharing four-wheel drive to increase economy;

Secondly, it can switch between 2WD and 4WD at any time below 100km/h, and even keep a constant speed at the same speed below 100km/h without stopping and directly open or close the central differential lock;

Finally, in high-speed 4WD 4H gears, the center differential can adjust the front and rear torque distribution at any time, making it more proactive, and thus extending the ASTC active stability and traction control system. Part-of-life 4WD has always been a true favorite of off-road gamers, and the sturdy mechanical construction is durable and reliable.

When switching between 2WD or 4WD, it is necessary to stop the operation, which adds steps to enjoy the fun of off-road. Moreover, there is no speed difference between the front and rear wheels of the time-sharing four-wheel drive, so basically its 4WD bids farewell to paved roads.

The super-selected four-wheel drive does not have such trouble, it also has a 2WD mode, but it is more for economic considerations, and the 4WD is a full-time four-wheel drive, so it can take into account both paved and non-paved roads. Even in off-road 4WD 4WD, the Super Selector 4WD also has a central differential lock that can be used, and the off-road ability and time-sharing 4WD are the same after locking.

Mitsubishi Motors is a prime example of the evolution of production cars through racing. Since the first generation of the Pajero, Mitsubishi has competed in one of the world's most famous races, the Dakar Rally, and has since set a record of 12 titles, including seven in a row. The perennial long-distance Dakar has given Mitsubishi a deep understanding of all the technologies required for vehicle crossing, so it is not surprising that such a technology as the super-select four-wheel drive system can be studied by Mitsubishi.

"Fourth from the right, enter the dirt road......... Watch out for vehicles ahead. Raised the road book in his hand, looked up at the road, and indicated the direction, there was no rally gauge to warn the vehicles in front and behind, and Shihui was constantly overtaking all the way, in order to avoid accidents, Xing Yu could only make this action.

The vehicle in front should be parked in the hanging four-wheel drive, it seems that it is not a fault, then it doesn't matter so much, slow down slightly, pull directly into the high-speed four-wheel drive, bypass the other party's vehicle, and continue to gallop.

The desert section is just a little bit, and the vehicles in front of them are pressed out with deep ruts, which affects the peers of the vehicles behind, and in some places they have to take the road without ruts next to them. Unknown road conditions are the most terrifying, you don't know all kinds of emergencies in the desert, although there is little quicksand, but vegetation, large rocks, there are also exist.

Xing Yu has been reminding to correct the direction, and Shi Hui also relies on his years of driving skills and experience to judge the road conditions by himself. Without any accidents, he ran out directly, and overtook many vehicles in the middle.

There is no sound of rescue on the radio, just go, this is a low sand area, and it will come out after digging in the car.

After the herdsmen's path, it was a muddy road again. The check-in point is still operated by humans, and you have to get off the bus to check in. Once he clocked in, Xing Yu was reluctant to wear a seat belt.

This multi-point harness is easy to loosen and just press it. It's a lot of trouble to tie it, you have to plug it into the switch on your chest one by one, if you wear a seat belt, it will be too time-consuming, and there are few ups and downs on the road, so Xing Yu will be careless for a while.

"Flying jump, 3 ...... left in a hurry" had already landed when he shouted this sentence, and Xing Yu, who was not wearing a seat belt, was jolted up and down by the bumps, and bit his tongue.

The blood flowed out at that time, and it didn't matter if you touched it with a helmet, biting your tongue like this would be fatal. The small design of the track, after the leap, directly after a 90-degree turn, the speed is happy to fly over, and the slow speed may support the bottom of the car on the jump.

Seeing Xing Yu's mouth bleeding, Shi Hui immediately stepped on the brakes. Before stopping, Xing Yu swallowed a few mouthfuls of blood in a row, waved his hand, and said that it was okay, and he also took this time to quickly fasten his seat belt.

Seeing that Xing Yu was not saying anything, the track was almost finished. Shi Hui continued to drive.

"Meat five after three. Hold the road, all yo ......" Xing Yu, who bit his tongue, still insisted on reading the last road book.

"Five on the right and three on the left, straight, full oil. "Turn back on the right, and immediately make a sharp turn on the left. Straight roads, speed up. Fortunately, Shi Hui understood.

Turn the mound, the pick-up point is in front of you, and you pass at full throttle. See black and white flags waving and brakes to collect oil.

As soon as the car stopped, Xing Yu quickly took out mineral water and rinsed his mouth, "Brother Xiang, let's change helmets." Forehead to you. Xing Yu, who was in a daze, said while rinsing his mouth.

Before, because I was in a hurry to prepare, the helmet was not equipped with a headset walkie-talkie, and a suction pipe. After a competition, Xing Yu remembered these two points in addition to remembering the role of the seat belt.

During the race, the noise of the car is too loud, so it is too tiring to shout at the top of your voice, and it will be much better to have a helmet headset to connect.

For the sake of power, no one turns on the air conditioning compressor, and in order to dissipate heat, the car is the highest grade of hot air. The hot track, coupled with the heat wave of the engine, took off the racing jersey, and the body was whitened with sweat bubbles.

For the sake of speed, there is no time to stop to get water to drink, and I can't help it, so I will stop. With a hose suction hose, you can stay hydrated all the time.

Seeing the SS1 stage ranking, it was actually third, "Thief T, M. If it is grouped, we will be first." Shi Hui also kept saying on the side.

Yes, it is a small competition, and the others are very formal, but there is no grouping, and all kinds of displacement, gasoline and diesel, production cars, and professional cars are all run together and ranked together.

Pajero EVO can't be considered a production car, Xing Yu muttered to himself on the side.

Although it is only third, Shi Hui is still very satisfied with this result: "I said that the cost of the competition is mine, you take care of it, and we will buy a new helmet in a while......"

After reading the results, I went back to my camp. It is said to be a camp, that is, a temporary awning, where Manni and the factory technicians are used as back-up support.

"How's the run?" asked Manni, handing him the frozen beer.

"It's okay, today I'm running, it's still third. Shi Hui took the beer and drank it. "First inspect the car, there is a lot of hay, clean all the hay under the car, and then check the chassis, the engine, and especially the shock absorption. ”

When the hay road is finished, be sure to clean all the chassis, in case there is hay stuck in the middle of the chassis and the guard, it is easy to cause spontaneous combustion and other problems.

When a driver finishes the race and has a good result, everything is over and he can rest. The repairman only started to get busy at this time, and there was no lift in the space limits, so he could only drill under the car and go to check, and the trench that had nothing to do during the day also came in handy at this time.

Xing Yu ran to hand over the road book, and the punch card, and by the way, he got back tomorrow's road book. Shi Hui and Manni also went to buy new helmets, the ones with headsets and suction tubes.

The technicians in the factory are even busier, washing the vehicles, checking the chassis for oil leaks, engine oil pans, gearboxes, differentials, brakes, transfer cases, shock absorbers. Check engine operation, oil, antifreeze, brake fluid, booster oil...... Don't underestimate these mechanics, the successful racing team doesn't have its own team of experienced mechanics to keep the car on track?

Although they work in a tough environment, although their hands are never clean, although they make very little money, although they do not stand on the podium and spray champagne, they are the loveliest people to the drivers.

Gobi, Yadan landform group and gravel roads, as long as you protect the vehicle, the speed is up to you. In the S.S.2 stage, the third start, Shi Hui kept the speed under control, and the cars in front of him were too close to him, and the dust would obscure his vision.

The roads are very narrow and there is no place to overtake along the way. In order to prevent dust, the interior of the car is also open for internal circulation, of course, hot air.

Following Shi Hui's suggestion, Xing Yu sold another set of red pepper underwear yesterday, wearing this kind of professional underwear, I feel a lot more comfortable, at least not the water in the racer's suit.

"Third from the right, straight section, overtake him!" "When I was studying the road book last night, I noticed that the Gobi section of the mound area was out of the mound area, which was a good opportunity to overtake, there were no obstacles around, and there was a lot less mud in the sky.

Downshift full oil, accelerate overtaking. The vehicle in front also wanted to block tactically, Shi Hui deceived the car in front of him in the right direction and drove to the right, and immediately overtook it in the left direction and against the side of the opponent.

After overtaking, you can see through the rearview mirror that the other party is also accelerating. If you prove that you didn't bring any harm to the other party, what else can you say, after you have eaten so much dust, it's time for you to eat and eat dirt.

Continue to move forward with full fuel. The first place is gone, the taillights are not visible, and the direction is not wrong on the shaped road, so there is nothing to hesitate about, accelerate and catch up.

It is right to depart in order, and the interval between each bus is only three minutes, what can you do in three minutes? You can only eat one-half of an apple in three minutes, you can only drink one-third of a cup of coffee in three minutes, and three minutes is not enough to even take a nap!

Three minutes on the field can be the difference between 160 and 120 on the throttle.

After turning three or four corners, I saw the other party's vehicle. To go over, you have to find roadside signs, those big stones, dead tree stumps to judge the direction; if you don't go over, you will have to follow behind the sand and rocks, it is too easy to cover your eyes.

"Look at the road, let's go over!" Shi Hui's voice came from the headset, with this treasure, there was no need to shout anymore, and his voice was much more comfortable.

The vehicle in front didn't even resist and gave way directly, probably for the sake of tactics, trying to find someone to lead the way, but soon stopped directly.

"No. 033 car, can you copy it? Have you encountered any problems?" Through the on-board radio, Xing Yu also cared about the car after the race number given by the organizing committee.

"It's okay, you're fast, the stone hit the glass, it doesn't matter, you go first." The other party's voice came from the radio this time.

Since it's okay, then I don't care about you.

"In the high sand area, there is a check-in point behind the hump, and then go west all the way across the sand" Xing Yu looked at the road book and wanted to report to Shi Hui. "Do we want to lower the tire pressure? It's about 40 kilometers?"

"Let's run first, if the sand is too soft, we're parking. Shi Hui returned.

S.S.2 first special track, here we come.
