Chapter 960 Night Race
Later, Xiao Peng learned that the car turned out to be Yin San's car, no wonder it was called 'Tata Kingfisher'. Tata Motors is the largest car manufacturer in India, including Land Rover, Jaguar and Rover.
Kingfisher, on the other hand, refers to Indo-3's Kingfisher Air, whose owner, Vijay Maria, is interested in racing and is also the owner of the F1 team Force India.
Tata Group's 'Jaguar Racing' failed in qualifying, so it joined forces with Kingfisher Aviation to form ten teams, using Tata's DC Avanti car shell as the prototype, and using the 'Power of India' racing technology to participate in this race.
Even if the race may not be competitive with their cars, as long as they can finish the race, it is the best publicity, right?
"What kind of jokes did they come up with?" Xiao Peng looked at the expression of the 'black catfish' and couldn't wait to ask.
Xiao Peng is very willing to hear the jokes of the three of India, the main reason is γγγγγγ It's because he doesn't like the car of the three people in India!
This DC Avanti is a copycat Lamborghini, just looking at the appearance, and Lamborghini is definitely the same car. But in the mouth of the Indian three, this is their 'self-developed' sports car!
And the most unscientific thing is: this car actually has a rearview mirror!
You know, India is a nation, buy a car there, car mirrors are optional, buy a car with a rearview mirror? That costs money, and even if you spend money, it's not safe, and people steal it every minuteγγγγγγ
I didn't expect this DC Avanti to have a rearview mirror! It's still similar to a Lamborghini! This makes it even more difficult to tell whether it's a Lamborghini or something!
Of course, the mass production DC Avanti power data is not enough, using Renault's 2.0T four-cylinder engine, the maximum output is only 253 horsepower, the peak torque is 340, and the maximum speed can only reach 200 kilometers per hour, which can only be regarded as an entry-level sports car, not a supercar.
However, this car is very popular in India and Sanke, because it is cheap! This car is 300,000 yuan after tax, is this planning to enter the Chinese market? Tata Motors even launched its enhanced model, called 'DC TCA,' because of the DC Avanti's popularity, and it is also limited to 299 units worldwideγγγγγγ
So people can buy a copycat Pagani of 500,000 after taxγγγγγγ
Of course, according to the original configuration of this car, it is not eligible to participate in the competition here. But if you can't stand it, the three of you will 'magically change', right?
The ability of the three people to 'make magic changes' is superb! Especially in terms of military equipment, it is all kinds of purchases, and after they are bought, they are all kinds of changes.
For example, their T90S tank, after importing the T90S from the bear country at that time, disliked that the tank was not advanced enough, and then was stunned to install a large number of advanced equipment from Gaul, Israel and other countries, making it seem that the T90 after the magic change is enough to kill the world's tanks in seconds.
So with full confidence, the Indian side participated in the tank biathlon held by the bear country, ready to shock the world.
And they did, and before they made it to the finish line, their tanks lay down en masseγγγγγγ
The three Indian brothers were very dissatisfied with this result, and went home to continue the magic reform, and wanted to develop an anti-tank missile with a range of up to 8,000 meters for this tank. It is also necessary to replace this tank with a new modular power system with an output of up to 1200-1500 horsepower------ and if you want to fight well, you have to change it into a tank specifically for competitionγγγγγγ
The three of them are absolutely willing to pay for the victory!
At that time, Xiao Peng also paid special attention to the 'Tata Kingfisher' car, after all, the 'Force India' team has an F1 technical team, which is a bit overkill in the transformation of production cars.
However, the performance of this team did not make Xiao Peng feel much bright, and the level of transformation was just like that, although the three cars entered the race, but the results were in the last position. So Xiao Peng didn't pay attention to it------ it was obvious that he was just trying to get acquainted. What do you care about them?
Now he knows that they have a joke, which makes Xiao Peng curious: "What kind of joke did they make? Did they crash the car too?"
'Black Catfish' shook his head: "Their three teams are all in the third echelon, but they have perfectly avoided this accident, and the 'Kingfisher Seven Team' has run to the fifth place at the fastest!"
"Damn, so lucky?" Xiao Peng was shocked.
The 'Black Catfish' pouted: "Good luck, I gave them a chance, but they didn't use it." β
"Hmm, what's going on?" Xiao Peng asked curiously.
'Black Catfish' said: "Their car ran and ran and fell apart on its own. β
"What?" Xiao Peng's eyes widened: "Did you fall apart?"
The black catfish nodded: "Yes, running and running the car body disintegrated, which can surprise everyone, the most interesting thing is that Lamborghini directly issued a statement, this time the Kingfisher team used a vehicle is not Lamborghini, first and Yin San Automobile distanced from the relationship." β
Xiao Peng thought for a moment: "Okay, it sounds quite surprising, but after thinking about it carefully, I don't think it's surprising at all." β
'Black Catfish' was puzzled and asked, "Boss, what do you mean by that?"
Xiao Peng thought for a while and replied: "Maybe it has something to do with the personalities of the three of them, they do things very casually." It's a very indifferent attitude to do anything. Since its establishment, the Indian Air Force has dropped more than 1,000 planes, and the country's largest 'Indo-Tristan Airlines' has made an annual profit of $3 billion. It seems that the same is true for this car. β
'Black Catfish' heard this and wanted to speak, and suddenly pointed to the monitor: "Boss, the safety car is out again, and the No. 483 Ferrari has slid out of the track." hit it hard and was about to retire. β
Xiao Peng picked up the racing suit: "There is no problem with Mengzi's tires, right? β
The black catfish said, "Now it seems to be fine." β
As a result, as soon as he finished speaking, he heard Yang Meng's voice on the radio: "'Black catfish', get ready! I want to enter the station for maintenance!"
'Black Catfish' grabbed the walkie-talkie: "Yang, what's the situation?"
"How the hell do I know! The headlights are not on! Where is this Nima a counterfeit product?" Yang Meng shouted indignantly.
'Black Catfish' hurriedly beckoned the people around him and shouted: "Get ready, our car lights are not on, all have tools ready!"
The staff who were still laughing and chatting there just now heard the words of the 'black catfish' and acted directly, and as soon as they made all the preparations, they heard the roar of the engine, only to see 'Irinor' drive directly into the maintenance room!
Yang Meng came down, took off his helmet and took the drink sent by the technician and drank it all: "Ah, Brother Peng, are you up?"
Xiao Peng was speechless: "You just saw me?
Yang Meng said: "I don't know, just now the right front light suddenly didn't turn on, how can you run at night?" 'Sea catfish', let's hurry up!"
'Black Catfish' made an OK gesture and had already detected the problem there: "The reason has been found, Raymond used old-fashioned headlights in order to take into account the original flavor of this car, which has been aged. It would be nice to change the lights, but γγγγγγ There is no matching, so I can only find a separate lamp to replace it!"
"Don't talk nonsense, just fix it quickly!" Yang Meng shouted anxiously: "Time is money, don't you understand this truth?"
After hearing this, Xiao Peng patted Yang Meng: "Mengzi, don't get excited, you eat some food and rest, I'll go up and run a few laps!"
"You can rest and rest!" Yang Meng said.
Xiao Peng shook his head and put on his racing suit: "I don't have as much experience as you on the night track, I'll go up and get acquainted with it." You have a meal and a rest, and the evening is mainly up to you. β
Yang Meng didn't refuse after hearing this, and took off his racing suit: "Okay, don't take too long, just an hour." β
"Okay, just take a shower and get something to eat. Xiao Peng changed into a racing suit.
"Boss, alright!" said the black catfish.
Xiao Peng nodded, sat directly in the car, and started the car. Rushed to the track.
After running less than a lap, Xiao Peng understood why the '24 Hours of Le Mans' is known as the most difficult race in the world. It's a completely different feeling to drive at night than during the day.
If the biggest problem of driving during the day is that it is easy to get distracted, then the biggest problem of driving at night is that the mental strength must be highly concentrated, and the pressure on the driver is really too great. Visibility is low at night, and the speed requirement is even faster, and although there are lights in the parking lot, the lights are too insignificant at such a fast speed. Riders have to reduce their speed to increase safety.
But this is really not a problem for Xiao Pengγγγγγγ
Isn't it night vision? He can see clearly without lights, not to mention that there are lights at the scene!
Xiao Peng fell in love with this feeling, no wonder so many people like drag racing, and the adrenaline stimulation brought by this sense of speed can't be brought by other things.
This time he didn't play the music, but listened intently to the roar of the engine, by which point he felt that he was one with the car, with only the track and the wind in front of him.
This way of driving once again shocked all the teams, and he didn't slow down in the night race? Is this crazy?
I don't know how long I drove it, but the anxious call of the 'black catfish' came from the helmet: "Boss, are you okay?
Xiao Peng came back to his senses: "What's the matter? Black catfish? What happened? What did you tell me to do?"
"Thank God!" came the voice of the 'black catfish' on the radio: "Boss, what's wrong with you? I called you for more than half an hour and you didn't answer me! If you hadn't been driving, I thought something was wrong!"
Xiao Peng smiled: "I was too focused on driving just now, so I was distracted." What's the matter?"
"Boss, you've been driving for two hours!" said Black Catfish, "Do you still have oil in your mailbox?"
"Huh?" Xiao Peng was stunned, and when he looked at the dashboard, cold sweat flowed down his head: "Damn, I'm going to enter the pit stop to refuel immediately!"
"Okay boss!" 'Black Catfish' turned off the radio.
Entering the maintenance station, Yang Meng replaced Xiao Peng to drive, Xiao Peng took off his helmet, and his mind was full of fear.
When I walked into the pit just now, the car happened to be out of gas.
The car relied on inertia to get to the pit point to refuel, if there was no pit stop this time, Xiao Peng was afraid that he would have to retire because of the lack of fuel!
Fortunately, 'Black Catfish' called him back in time, otherwise this time it would have been really big!
Xiao Peng took off his helmet and drank a lot of water to replenish his water, but saw that the staff in several maintenance stations next to him stood up and pointed fingers at him!
"What are they doing?" Xiao Peng asked the 'black catfish' puzzled.
The black catfish smiled bitterly: "Boss, do you know how scary you were driving just now? Breaking Suzuka's speed record for consecutive combination corners!You're scared! Boss, how the hell did you do that?"
Xiao Peng shrugged his shoulders and said with a relaxed face: "That's it, find the right APEX point, and it's not difficult to corner." β
The 'black catfish' stuck out his tongue and stopped talking.
All drivers know that the best way to get around a corner is to find the 'APEX' point.
In layman's terms, the APEX point is the point closest to the center of the bending line and is usually the critical point in power. With the APEX point as the demarcation, the line before the APEX point should be slowed down, and the line after it should be accelerated. Achieving an 'outside-inside-outside' cornering process, although this is not the shortest cornering distance, it is the easiest to accelerate after cornering. Therefore, it is also the fastest route when cornering.
Therefore, when cornering, whether you can accurately find the 'APEX' point is the key to whether you can pass the corner as quickly as possible!
In general, a curve has only one APEX point, which is located in the center of the inner diameter of the curve. However, there is always something special about everything, and some special corners may have multiple APEX points, such as Turn 8 of the Istanbul Park Circuit in Turkey, which has 4 APEX points, which is a headache to think about.
How to find the APEX point in the corner of the track at high speed is a reflection of the driver's ability.
Therefore, when watching the racing competition, cornering is often the most exciting part, and it is also the place that can best reflect the driver's skills, and Xiao Peng's cornering skills really scared everyone.
When others race at night, the speed will be slower than during the day.
But Xiao Peng's distance from other convoys this night has become farther and farther.
One night, Xiao Peng and Yang Meng took turns driving, one of these two had god-level skills, and the other drove the car without dying.
Slow down? That's not there!!
