Chapter 194: Street Race
The staff of NBC's sports channel drove the interview car to shoot the whole process, and the commentator was only about one meter away from the camera, which was fine on TV, but now he was spitting on the machine, and the scene was really a bit silly.
The meaning of "formula car" simply means that it stipulates the standards of size, weight, maximum power, etc., and produces it according to the same formula, so it is called a formula car.
Therefore, except for the slight difference in appearance, Han Xuan did not find any difference in the five bodies in front of him, these cars all have small front nose wings, which can effectively divert the flow, speed up the replacement of the fixed wind wing, and protect the safety of the people in the car in the event of a crash.
Superracers wear helmets and are exposed, and they go through several levels of selection before driving a formula car, just as Schumacher raced in karting a decade ago.
Even if you are highly skilled, accidents often occur that lead to the death of racers, which is a high-risk profession.
There is no need for a narrator, and the three bodyguards around are the best narrators.
Sanchez was excited and said: "Look at this F1 car built by McLaren, the engine can provide nearly 800 horsepower, and the car and the driver weigh less than a ton, and the speed is terrifying.
It's just that the road can't be done today, and if you go on a track like Hockenheim in Germany, it can reach speeds of 320 kilometers per hour, which is a staggering number. ”
"You bought it last year! This year the McLaren engine has been changed, and it can reach at least 335 kilometers per hour!"
Rice's expression seemed to be defiled by his goddess, and he jumped to his feet to correct it, and said to Han Xuan: "Look at the aerodynamic kit hanging on it, it only takes 2.35 seconds to accelerate from zero to 100 kilometers, the brake disc is made of carbon fiber, and the ultra-high-performance braking system allows it to go from 240 kilometers per hour to parking in 2.5 seconds." The distance required is only 80 meters. ”
"****, if it can brake so fast, I ate this car! Or the Ferrari team has good technology, the car is beautiful, there have been so many accidents this year, it is said that the rules will be changed next year, and the engine cylinder displacement will be reduced. Spring has finally arrived at Scuderia Ferrari!"
Gabriel said: "The Sun says that Scuderia Ferrari is digging into the corners of the Benetton team, and it would be great if Michael Schumacher did say yes. ”
"I don't like him anyway, although Senna's death was partly due to the car, but if it wasn't for Michael Schumacher pressing hard, this would have happened. Sanchez said unhappily and looked at the repair shop, where a young man in his twenties was crouching at the side of the car to debug.
You say a word to me.
Other people's bodyguards stood quietly, looking quite stylish. Han Xuan looked at his side again, a few people were used to being idle at Brown University, and they were resting during the summer vacation, talking about addiction.
Gabriel and Sanchez are both stupid, and when they see that they can't take advantage of each other verbally, they both want to roll up their sleeves and fight.
"Idea, there's live TV, I'm outside"
Han Xuan was ready to say that his grandfather was there. This kind of scene was not very well photographed, and when I looked back, I realized that the other person was not behind me. I ran a few meters away and stood and talked to Mayor Rudy, looking like a Confucian businessman.
There was a model in a white leather coat, who could be 1.75 meters tall, stepping on a pair of white high heels, walking around the field with catwalks, and stopped in front of the TV camera. waved the black and white checkered flag in his hand.
The street suddenly emitted the roar of a formula car, overshadowing the noisy crowd, and Han Xuan felt that his heartbeat stopped for a few seconds, and then the blood flowed back all over his body, and his pores were dilated and numb. Very comfortable.
In today's race, the speed of the car was limited by about one-fifth compared to the usual professional points race, which means that the speed of the race can only be mentioned at 250 kilometers per hour.
After all, it is not a professional runway, and the take-off speed of Boeing planes is only in the early 300s, and the horror of formula racing can be imagined, and accidents will occur if the road is a little bumpy.
The superracers were tied to their cars and waited for the signal, and there were nearly two kilometers of urban roads outside the tunnel, and the Lincoln Tunnel was 1.5 kilometers long, and the tunnel was two one-way streets, and it was very difficult to overtake, crossing the Hudson River from Midtown Manhattan and making a U-turn at the entrance to the Welwellken Tunnel in New Jersey.
The three teams of Williams, Benetton and McLaren all sent ten people and used the method of drawing lots. There are seven rounds of five cars at a time, plus the final round.
Han Xuan saw that the surrounding crowd shouted the name of their favorite team, and also put his hands to his mouth and shouted a few words, the other two teams were unfamiliar, and called the McLaren team at random.
Three pairs of glowing eyes stared at them instantly, Rice and Sanchez liked Benetton, and Gabriel was cheering for the Williams team, and at the same time snorted and glanced over, Han Xuan raised his eyebrows, ignored them, and shouted: "Bet bets!
"I'll press Williams, twenty!" Gabriel dug into his pocket, stunned and continued, "I owe it first, I don't have my wallet with me." ”
"Cut, slam the door, I'll go out thirty to press Benetton. After Sanchez finished speaking, Rice followed: "Me too!"
"What about you?"
"I, I'm sitting in the bank, and I'm taking 50 percent. Han Xuan squinted and smiled.
New York Mayor Rudy had an impression of him, when Han Xuan went to the city hall to find his old man, he met him, and laughed and said: "New York is now completely banned from gambling, and it is difficult for me to do this for you." ”
"I'm not betting, I'm going to catch them, I'm just helping to keep ......"
Super racers know that it's hard to overtake in tunnels and only get ahead on city roads.
As Han Xuan spoke, the flag waved down, and the five formula cars rushed out in an instant, so that the black smoke from the start just now rose and dissipated, and the surrounding high-rise glass shook with the sound of breaking the air, and there were many alleys in the city, and the sound of racing engines was exceptionally loud, causing the crowd to cheer and thunder.
A few seconds later, there was the sound of drifting brakes, and the wheels rubbed against the ground. Sparks and white smoke burst out and disappeared from view, obscured by tall buildings, and only voices could be heard echoing in the ears.
"It's really exciting!" Han Xuan waved his fist and turned his gaze to the big screen, the camera, the quality of the screen is not good, the infinite camera has not yet been invented, and only a string of procrastinating black shadows can be seen.
Charles Koch walked over and patted him on the shoulder: "Do you want to come with me to the car to see how many monitors in the RV can be connected to the tunnel picture." ”
The reporters were even more excited when they saw this scene, an oil tycoon was talking to a Chinese boy, taking a few photos, afraid that someone would come to grab it, so he turned around and ran, it was completely a formula car in human speed.
Han Xuan saw them scattering and fled, and said with a smile: "Thank you, Mr. Rudy, do you want to be together?" I have something to tell you." ”
Charles's expression did not change, even if he did not invite his thoughts, he would not show it, and the adult would appear rude, and the child would be fine.
Rudy naturally did not miss the opportunity to get along with the "godfather", and quickly replied: "Excuse me, Mr. Koch." ”
After a few words, it took less than two minutes to hear the roar of the engine again (to be continued). )
