Chapter 334: Show your true skills
Lao Tian led Xiao Nan and Xiong Mi to the vehicle maintenance area under the maintenance greenhouse, where a row of identical locomotives was parked, and the appearance looked no different from the 600CC four-cylinder locomotive driven by Xiao Nan and Xiong Mi during the race.
"You two can pick which one you want to drive. Lao Tian said: "But I suggest that you two little girls don't bother, these cars are the same as the two cars you drove just now, and there is nothing to provoke at all." β
Although Xiao Nan does not doubt the truth of what Lao Tian said, but anyway, it is boring to wait here to change clothes, and although the configuration of these vehicles is the same, they may not all be tuned by the same technician, such as clutch clearance, front and rear brakes, etc., there will always be some differences.
So Xiao Nan still started from the first locomotive, rode up one car after another to experience it, stepped on the brakes, grabbed the clutch, and pressed the shock absorber front and rear...... Xiong Mi is the same as her, but she started from the other side, and it took more time than Xiao Nan to try four or five cars repeatedly, and finally picked the most satisfactory one.
When Xiao Nan and Xiong Mi had chosen their respective mounts for the race, they also trotted back with their helmets on their heads. Compared with the image of a classical beautiful woman in a long dress just now, the figure of Qi Ran who is now wearing a white tight-fitting one-piece suit is even more exquisite, even compared with Xiong Mi, who has the most hot and eye-catching figure.
Perhaps because the clothes were too close-fitting, under the greedy gaze of many male technicians beside him, the delicate skin like white porcelain on his face was flushed with a faint red glow, so he looked even more delicate and charming. She pulled a flower from her wrist and tied her waist-length hair back into a ponytail, and then gestured to the crowd waiting for her, judging by the expression on her face and the movement of her hands, she probably wanted to say, "Let's start now!"
"Don't worry, you pick the car first. Lao Tian pointed to Xiao Nan and Xiong Mi to pick the remaining row of locomotives with his hand, and said: "Cheng Yatou and Mi Yatou have all been selected, you should also hurry up and choose one." β
He nodded obediently, walked quickly to a row of locomotives, just glanced at it, and pushed one out of it, patted the saddle with his hand, probably to say, "That's it." β
"We still have time, so we don't have to rush it. Xiao Nan persuaded. "You can pick carefully, we can wait. β
Qing Ran smiled and shook his head at Xiao Nan, seeing that Qing Ran didn't care much, Xiao Nan didn't want to say anything more, the three of them all turned over and got into the car, and slowly drove towards the starting point on the track with the engine. "Cheng girl!" Xiao Nan, who was walking at the back, was suddenly stopped by Lao Tian. "Don't be in a hurry to leave, I have something to tell you......"
"Hmm, what's the matter?" Xiao Nan was a little strange, and stopped a little brake.
Lao Tian walked over slowly, holding Xiao Nan's handlebar with one hand, and said to her unhurriedly: "When Mr. Zuo came to you, he didn't just want you to stand in front of the camera as a vase and be a foil for these new locomotives, but you also had to shoulder the heavy responsibility of training these little girls, although he didn't expect you to teach them enough to compete in the National Grand Prix, at least, to make them look like a bit of professional drivers......"
Speaking of this, Lao Tian paused slightly, and the pair of lazy little eyes behind the glasses as thick as the bottom of the wine bottle suddenly flashed. "Cheng girl, no matter whether others can see the way or not, you can't hide it from me anyway, whether it's racing with Maserati last time, or racing with Mi Yatou just now, I know that you haven't shown your real skills. Maybe you feel that these opponents are not worth your best to win, but what I have to tell you is that if you can't convince these little girls from the heart, then it will be difficult for you to carry out your work in the future, Mr. Zuo values you so much, don't let him down......"
After speaking, Lao Tian gently patted Xiao Nan's shoulder, and his face returned to his previous expression: "That's all I can say, you can see what to do later......"
Xiao Nan pondered Lao Tian's words repeatedly in his heart, and drove slowly into the starting point of the track, Xiong Mi and Qingran, who arrived first, occupied the inner and outer lanes respectively, and there was just a vacant position less than two meters wide between their two cars, Xiao Nan parked the car in the middle of them, and the front wheel was firmly pressed on the starting line.
The signal lights on the edge of the track not far in front began to flash, and the three girls began to throttle one by one on their respective bikes. Xiao Nan suddenly found that the action of the throttle on his right side was completely different from others, the speed and frequency of the wrist retract and release were super fast, and the engine responded to the exhaust sound of pulses from the muffler.
"It's ......" I remember that he also discussed the significance of this action with a few good players in the team at that time, and personally compared and tested it with his own racing car, and found that the advantage of such a rapid change of throttle opening is that it can use the inertia of air flow to form a pulsing high-frequency air wave in the intake tract of the engine, which is more efficient than the air flowing at a constant speed in the intake tract, so that the engine can quickly reach a higher inflation efficiency in the initial stage, so as to make the starting acceleration more aggressiveγ
It seems that this seemingly weak man is by no means an opponent to be ignored. Xiao Nan thought to herself, it seems that she has to let them see their true strength......
"Boom Boom Boom ββββ" With the acceleration of the flashing frequency of the red signal light, Xiao Nan's hand holding the throttle gradually accelerated the frequency of retraction, and at the same time slightly released the clutch handle a little in advance, so that the clutch plate of the engine began to produce a slight friction to heat up, but it was not enough to make the power of the crankshaft drive the rear wheel to rotate through the clutch drum, but the transmission chain gradually tightened and tightened......
"Ding!" The red light instantly turned into a green light, Xiao Nan slammed the accelerator, the clutch hooked by the two fingers of his left hand popped out instantly, and the 600CC verification car under the seat roared furiously and rushed out of the starting line. She quickly looked at the left and right sides with the corner of her eye, and found that Xiong Mi and Qi Ran started very fast, but they were still a little slower than her, and the front of the two of them was about less than half a meter behind her, and it seemed that Xiong Mi had more advantages than Xiong Mi.
Xiao Nan's attention immediately returned to his locomotive dashboard, at this time the tachometer pointer was close to the red zone of 10,000 rpm, Xiao Nan did not wait for the pointer to enter 11,000 rpm, his wrist released a throttle, taking advantage of the moment the engine dropped the speed of the left toe gently hooked up the second gear, and gave the throttle vigorously again, the whole body slammed forward, and the speed suddenly went up a step.
Before the speed of the engine recovered to the red zone of 10,000 rpm, Xiao Nan quickly observed his left and right sides again, and the front of the locomotive of Qingran and Xiong Mi was still less than half a meter behind him, and judging from the sound of their locomotive engines, the tachometer pointer of the two of them was probably still maintained in the red zone of about 13,000 rpm, and they had not had time to raise the locomotive to second gear, and they were still relying on the first gear to increase the speed of the locomotive.
The corners of Xiao Nan's mouth hooked up a shallow smile, female drivers are still not as sensitive to machinery as male drivers - of course, she is no longer a male driver, but fortunately, some aspects of the advantages of the boy's period have been brought to her current girl's body.
11,000 to 3 gears, 10,000 to 4 gears...... The initial straight long track gave Xiao Nan the opportunity to hang up a higher gear in a short period of time and increase the speed of the locomotive to more than 200 kilometers, when she hung up the fifth gear in one go, Xiong Mi and Qianran, who had been maintaining a low gear and high speed, were already almost the entire body behind Xiao Nan, and at this time the first corner was close at hand, and they had to stop speeding up and prepare to enter the corner.
However, Xiao Nan neither loosened the throttle nor brakes, her locomotive deviated from the best approach route, maintained a very high speed and rushed into the corner, this scene even Lao Tian and the team girls who were standing under the maintenance shed to watch the battle shouted surprise, and thought that Xiao Nan played abnormally and predicted the wrong route.
Xiong Mi and Qingran, who were closely following Xiao Nan's car, saw this scene, and almost at the same time secretly shouted in their hearts that luck had come, although Xiao Nan had made the two of them incomprehensibly lead in the straight acceleration stage just now, but making such an obvious mistake when entering the corner was not only enough to wipe out Xiao Nan's current lead and give them a chance to overtake, but it was more likely that she would make a more serious mistake again because she was in a hurry to catch up when she came out of the corner, which eventually led to more and more falling behind......
Almost at the same time, Xiong Mi and Qing Ran both aimed the front of the car at the invisible best corner route on the track, although Xiao Nan has missed this route because of mistakes, but the two of them still need to compete with each other to win the right to use this best route, at this moment Xiong Mi and the locomotive driven by Qi Ran are almost neck and neck, Qi Ran is slightly ahead but definitely can't pull Xiong Mi more than a foot away, the current form is that you must brake to slow down when entering the corner, and whoever brakes later has the advantage of speed to be able to grab the right to use this best route, but at the same time, faster speed also means that there needs to be a more aggressive cornering action, so the risk of failing to do so is much higher.
For the two female drivers in fierce competition, it is a trade-off between their individual psychological qualities and confidence in their own skills, whether to slow down first and make a more conservative move to safely turn, or to use a faster speed to grab the best route into the corner while taking the risk of a more uncontrollable cornering action, leaving them with less than two seconds left to think.
At this moment, Xiao Nan, who was thought to have missed the best route into the corner, had already driven to the middle of the corner at high speed, and now it was impossible for her to get out of the corner safely if she used the conventional cornering technique, and if she didn't brake with all her strength to reduce the speed, she would have to follow the blue Maserati and crash into the protective wall composed of waste tires and water-filled plastic buckets. The team girls and technicians who were standing under the maintenance shed and watching the battle couldn't help but sweat for her when they saw this scene, and even Lao Tian couldn't help but stand up, staring at her little eyes and opening her mouth wide......
