Chapter 206: The Curve
In order to meet the visual enjoyment of the audience, the organizing committee specially built a long straight track, which is more than 500 meters away from Pingchuan after the steps.
Is it really just a matter of pressing the throttle all the time? It's really not, ignoring some tricks and stepping the throttle into the engine, it won't be too fast.
Manual transmission of the car, the speed of the car to mention the high-end after the acceleration is quite difficult, even if you step on the accelerator to the end is useless, some experienced old drivers told us, if you want to speed up, try downshifting, so that you will feel a significant increase in speed, isn't this nonsense?
The manual transmission of the car is relatively simple to speed up, the following we will talk about the manual transmission of automatic transmission, automatic transmission speed, the owner feels that the speed is more obvious, and there are many places to learn. The automatic transmission itself has a "self-learning" function, when just driving, the automatic transmission model itself has a "self-learning" function, the general car does not like to be reluctant to step on the accelerator when driving a new car, the more so, the speed can be accelerated like this, it is more difficult.
Another point is that if the automatic car wants to speed up, you can use the lower S gear, what is the use of this gear? When your car needs to overtake, you need it, so that all aspects of the car will be slightly improved, so it is more convenient when the car still needs to speed up. If you are driving in only one D gear, it will be difficult for the car to speed up, and it will be difficult to press the accelerator all the way.
The last one, for automatic cars, this way to speed up is to turn on the "manual mode", because many cars are manual models, why use this, if you want the car to respond quickly, you can use it, and the speed is fast in all aspects.
The 3.6 displacement Wrangler is self-integrated, Xing Yu has been choosing D gear to run the race before, just to not hurt the vehicle's gearbox, low gear and high speed are very harmful to the vehicle, not only the gearbox will be damaged, but the engine will also have a lot of damage.
Now that he feels the hostility of his opponent, Xing Yu also forgot what he said before the game, just take a stroll. I couldn't help but flick the gearbox gear lever with my right hand and switch directly into manual mode.
I haven't had a manual transmission for too long, and when I dialed in the manual transmission, Xing Yu made a mistake and lowered two gears in a row, and the engine speed rushed directly into the red line area from about 4500.
After a burst of noise, the car still burst into strong power, overtaking the opponent by one space.
Quickly move up a gear, the car continues smoothly, and the engine is quieter.
500 meters is not far for a car, and when Xing Yu was ready to continue to raise gears, he had already reached the shot of a straight line, followed by a triple S corner.
When Xing Yu and Fei Long walked here yesterday, Fei Long said: "I must drift here, even if it affects the speed, I must let others enjoy it." ”
The rollover maniac also said that he was going to drift around the corner here, and a rider who followed over asked with a smile: "This is not a paved road, there are gravel and big stones on the road, drifting here, in case that wheel is touched by an obstacle, it is too easy to overturn." ”
Fei Long and the Rollover Maniac both kept rolling their eyes, choosing to drift here, in addition to the confidence in their own skills, the rest needs a little luck, after all, not every drift can just have a wheel stuck on the obstacle next to it.
If you don't touch it, you can pass this bend gorgeously, which can definitely detonate the enthusiasm of the local audience.
In case it happens, the worst result is a side rollover, although you can't continue the game, but it can also arouse greater enthusiasm from the audience, after all, the audience who can see the drift skills is far less than the audience who likes to watch the excitement.
When watching the professional group competition in the morning, Fei Long really drifted twice in a row and successfully crossed the S corner, although it affected some time, but in terms of the on-site effect, it was still quite good.
The rollover maniac was a little unlucky this time, the first corner passed smoothly, but when the second reverse corner drifted, the rear wheel was still blocked by a dirt step that the driver didn't know before, the rear wheel of the vehicle did not pass the track smoothly, and the vehicle rolled several times in a row under the action of inertia, and now Xing Yu can still see a wheel that fell off because of the rollover and was lonely on the side of the S curve......
Xing Yu also carefully observed Feng Yongpeng's passing skills, he did not choose to drift through the corner, nor did he choose to slow in and fast out like ordinary drivers, but used more technically demanding cutting skills.
The general principle of turning is to slow in and out quickly, when you have not yet entered the corner, maintain a straight line speed, when you are about to enter the corner, step on the brakes slightly, slow down appropriately, if the curve is relatively large, you should further reduce the speed, and at the same time, you also need to lower a gear first to ensure that you can have enough power to accelerate after cornering......
The cutting curve chosen by Feng Yongpeng requires that he run as straight as possible in the corner, enter the inside from the outside of the corner, and then continue to exit the corner from the outside.
In turns, if you want to pass the curve quickly, but you don't want to generate too much centrifugal force, you must make full use of the width of the track and try to pass the curve in a straight line. Before the start of the turn, you should rely on the outside of the curve to enter the curve, and when you reach the middle, you should rely on the inside of the curve, that is to say, the place at the top of the curve arc should be close to the inside of the curve, and after passing the top of the curve, then cut back to the outside of the curve, and drive out of the curve by the outside of the curve, that is, you should choose the "outside-inside-outside" turning route when cornering. 520
This is a common racing technique used in touring car races, and it can also be used in some long-distance cross-country rallies with natural surfaces.
But now it's a cross-country track race, to be precise, a cross-country show jumper.
The S bend was built temporarily, the track was not wide enough, and in the second corner, there was a natural mound of dirt blocking the road, and the biggest reason for the previous mistake of the rollover maniac was to avoid the obstacle in the middle of this corner, and the drift distance was too long, so it lost control.
When Feng Yongpeng passed, the rear wheels of the vehicle also had a certain amount of friction with this dirt slope, and the route he could choose was too tricky, and the experienced Feng Youpeng inevitably made a little mistake.
Originally, Xing Yu's plan was a general slow in and fast out, and the centrifugal force of the bending still had a certain impact on him.
There is a circular interchange curve at the entrance of a ring highway in Qincheng, before being injured, Xing Yu and Shen Yin have competed on this circular curve to see who can pass at the fastest speed, and during the first race, Shen Yin drove a 2.3 Mazda Six, and Xing Yu drove a Buick Excelle.
That time Xing Yu lost, and the old Mazda6 lived up to the reputation of the little prince of corners.
Shen Yin crossed the corner at a speed of 75km/h, while Xing Yu felt that the wheels of the vehicle were a little cocked after the corner, and he had to slow down to about 60 to pass this corner.
After that, Xing Yu tried many times, Ford Focus, Volkswagen Golf...... Such a car with good performance in corners, but whenever Xing Yu received it, he always wanted to try it on this corner, and the best result was created by Xing Yu driving a Ford Fiesta ST.
It is faster than the Fox RS that Shen Yin opened before. The Fiesta ST is powered by a 1.6-liter EcoBoost engine with a maximum power of 180 hp and a maximum torque of 240 Nm, which is turbocharged and mated to a six-speed manual gearbox, which is inferior in performance to the 2.3T four-wheel drive Focus RS.
The Carnival ST is about 40cm shorter in length and 10cm less in width than the Focus. In such a curve, the small body can choose a better cornering route and the centrifugal force generated will be much less.
Xing Yu remembered that his limit speed was about 80km/h, which was already his own limit, and then Xing Yu drove a Porsche 911 without exceeding this record, of course, there are also reasons why the car is too expensive, Xing Yu is under pressure and does not dare to be so crazy.
The ultimate speed of the corner was created before Xing Yu was injured, and after the injury, Xing Yu rarely did this kind of intense driving, when another car dealer held an event, Xing Yu played a drift during the test drive, and at that time he felt that there was an arm without strength, and he almost couldn't grasp the steering wheel......
When crossing the bilateral bridge in front, Xing Yu found that his hands were not as flexible as before during the competition, but fortunately, the bilateral bridge in this competition was flat after the bridge, if it was a wave route, Xing Yu would not be able to continue the race in the obstacle just now......
Just when Xing Yu was about to slow down into the corner, he had already seen the opponent rushing over at full horsepower in the rearview mirror, and in a flash, the driver had already overtaken Xing Yu and entered the corner first.
"Reckless!" In such a fierce game, Xing Yu still couldn't help but scold, the opponent couldn't control the vehicle anymore, and the route was not so straight, when he overtook Xing Yu just now, the vehicles almost collided together.
Xing Yu, who was so stimulated by his opponent and didn't think about it, was enthusiastic, and directly chose Feng Youpeng's cornering method......
The outside of the corner, directly aimed at the inside, there is no problem, in the corner of the extension Xing Yu saw the opponent, at this time he did not look at Xing Yu, his eyes nervously looked at the road in front of the car, his choice was to drift into the corner, the vehicle slid very seriously, has hit a lot of roadside cordons......
Downshifting, aiming at the inner apex of the next corner, accelerating, watching the opponent make a mistake and skidding, rushing towards his own car, Xing Yu immediately took action......
When the car rushed into the second corner, Xing Yu was still distracted and saw in the rearview mirror that the opponent had rushed onto his track, and he was secretly glad that if he was worried about the collision just now and chose to slow down, maybe the two of them had collided together now......
"This kid is really deadly, it doesn't look like he's here to compete, it looks like he's here to hit me on purpose. Between the lightning and flint, Xing Yu was distracted again.
Bang dang!
At the moment of distraction, Xing Yu's Wrangler rear wheel knocked down the second curve dirt platform......
