Chapter 0357: Dark Horse

Unlike traditional sprint races, WRC Rally does not have the so-called "first to cross the line wins" rules, and the participating cars do not compete directly with each other. What they need to compete for most is time, not the rest!

Each car is equipped with an FIA-specific timer, and all race times are synchronized to the Organizing Committee's console. Also, depending on the pole position of the competitors, each driver starts at a different time, and there is a one- to two-minute interval between the cars. So generally speaking, if it weren't for a sudden situation such as a driver breaking down on the road, it would be difficult for the riders to see each other's competitors on the race route.

The final result of the race is won by the car that takes the least time to complete the race.

Because it was the lowest pole position for the Spanish race, Jonathan had to wait until all the riders in the group had started before he could start the race.

At this moment, Jonathan, wearing a special protective suit, stared ahead with his eyes on the front, his left hand on the steering wheel, and his right hand on the gear lever, the QM4L1 engine carried by the Phoenix brand sedan emitted a beautiful sound, and the aftertreatment system emitted bursts of green smoke.

With the success of the penultimate car, Jonathan, who represented the Tianming team, pushed the gear lever with his right hand, and at the same time slammed the accelerator, the car let out a roar, and then saw the Phoenix sedan sprinting forward like a wild horse.

Whether it was the shouts of the crowd or the roar of the engine, it was all like nothingness to Jonathan, and there was only one thought in his mind at the moment, which was to win the race and prove himself again!

"Drive 100 meters, keep the left line into 2nd gear and make a right bend, the road is bumpy, the road narrows, to the hairpin bend, cross the ramp. ”

Neuer, the navigator sitting next to Jonathan, was also engrossed in staring at the road book, accurately giving Jonathan accurate information about road conditions.

After Jonathan's car was successfully released, Zhou Jingming in the audience couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, the next thing is beyond his control, everything can only depend on Jonathan's personal performance.

"The race in Spain is divided into three stages, each with 15 special stages, commonly known as SS stages, which are played on closed and controlled sections, and between the different SS sections, they are connected by RS stages. ”

Now that the game has begun, Zhou Jingming simply focused on enjoying the game, watching the game while continuing to explain the relevant rules of the WRC game to He Yingqing.

"The RS section is just an ordinary road, which means that you have to obey the local traffic laws and regulations, and you can't exceed the speed limit. He Yingqing looked excited, for her, it was so happy to be able to watch such a wonderful game live.

"Of course, it will be carried out in accordance with traffic laws, but in order to ensure the smooth running of the race, the local traffic police department will be responsible for maintaining order on that section of the road. Zhou Jingming replied with a smile.

In fact, not only on the RS section, but also on the SS section, there is a limit to the top speed of the car, and if the speed limit is exceeded, the driver will be punished accordingly.

At this moment, the rear console of the organizing committee, the time of each participating car and the condition of the vehicle are all sent here synchronously.

"The top three drivers, sure enough, are still these people, guess who will take the championship in Spain?" In front of the screen in front of the main console, Drucker, the head of the WRC Spain race this time, said to his companion Teixeira with a smile.

The real-time results were clearly displayed on the screen, with Fiat Racing, the winner of the German race, leading the way, followed by Lancia and Subaru.

Teixeira looked at the screen, then took off his glasses, "I don't know, how long will it be before the start of the competition?" ”

"When the game is over, what else do you want to guess?" Drucker rolled his eyes, then suddenly lowered his voice, "You say, Jonathan, this kid, can he make a successful comeback this time?"

After hearing the name, Teixeira also sighed regretfully, "Who knows." If he continues to play for the Audi team, then I have no doubt that this race will definitely be his turnaround, but this Tianming team, to be honest, I don't know much about China, but this team seems to be their first time participating in an FIA event. ”

"China participates in the FIA event, it is a matter of time, maybe this time, this Tianming team can really bring us unexpected surprises!" Drucker's eyes looked at the screen again, and when he looked down slightly, he could see Jonathan's real-time results at this time, ranking fifth in the N3 group and 36th in all groups!

But if you take a closer look, you will find that Jonathan's results are growing at a visible rate, and he is only one step away from the fourth place in the N3 group.

…………

"Enter the 4th gear long left bend, fly and jump, drive 30 meters, keep the left line, the road widens and accelerates, even the third gear left bend, accelerate, keep the middle route, the road narrows, enter the first gear, accelerate, even the second gear short left bend!"

The game has been going on for more than an hour, but Jonathan does not feel the slightest sense of fatigue, but is getting braver and stronger, and his whole body is full of strength.

"After the next section, it's time for our pit area, do you want to go down and maintain the vehicle?" asked Neuer quickly after reporting the road book.

Such a high-intensity competition is definitely a great test for all parts of the vehicle, and the slightest carelessness can lead to car crashes and fatalities, which is not uncommon in the history of WRC racing.

"No, keep going. Jonathan shook his head, he could feel that all the performance indicators of the whole car, everything was normal.

"Are you sure? Miss this pit area, and the next one will be at least half an hour away. Neuer asked in surprise.

It's not a smart choice!

"Don't worry, I know what to do, keep reporting the road!" Jonathan quickly shifted gears with his right hand, and the car crossed a hill in a leaping stance, leaving a graceful stance in the air.

At this time, on the side of the main console, Drucker, who was just about to go to the lounge to rest, was suddenly stopped by Teixeira.

"Look at the results on the screen!" Teixeira stared at the screen in disbelief.

As soon as Drucker turned around, before he could take a closer look, he suddenly exclaimed, "How is it possible!"

At this time, the Tianming team, represented by Jonathan, was in the third place in the N3 group and the sixth place in all classes in an instant, leaving the original Subaru behind and gradually approaching the second-place Lancia!

"It's incredible! If this trend continues, then the Tianming team will definitely be the biggest dark horse in this race!" Teixeira couldn't help but exclaim.

And at the moment when Teixeira spoke, Jonathan's ranking also changed again, the second place in the N3 group, and the second place in the whole class!
