Chapter 1196: Journey to Chaos!
The Dakar is too long to produce results like other sprint cross-country rallies or sprint rallyings. In Dakar, the rankings are divided by day, and then the overall ranking is calculated based on the time spent and points of the segments.
On the first day of the section, Li Fanyu and Zhengxin K2 car No. 66 Juque won the first place with well-deserved results. With this result in mind, the next day's stage began.
As the first day's segment champion, Zhengxin No. 66 naturally started in the first round. This makes some people uncomfortable.
Yesterday evening, Kenji Furui, who watched the first day of the competition, contacted Kuraki by satellite phone. This, to a certain extent, puts a lot of pressure on the latter.
Looking at the top ranked Zhengxin K266 Juque Yaowu leading the driving section, Kuragi Ping's heart was on fire;
As a player who has competed in the Dakar six times, Kuraki's skill is certainly unquestionable. But God always seems to like to joke with him, and every time he wins the rankings, he himself or the team or the car will have problems of one kind or another.
As a veteran driver, he has experienced spontaneous combustion, breakdowns, and punctures in the sprint. It has also experienced a series of car accidents, as well as the cancellation of the Dakar season in '08.
All of these things happen to a single driver, which is rare even in the long history of racing in the Dakar.
Repeated mistakes and inexplicable accidents have made this Japanese rider, who debuted at the age of eighteen, gain a bad nickname in the circle - broom star.
It is precisely because of this that he fell from the T1 group to T2 and T3, little by little from being admired by everyone to not being taken seriously, and finally fell into the embarrassing situation of forming a team by himself and participating in the Dakar at his own expense.
He is 32 years old this year, and it can be said that this time the team is valued by TSL, and it is really his last chance.
As a driver, it doesn't look very glamorous on the surface, but in fact, the whole career is quite short and twists and turns. Even in Formula 1, which represents the highest level of motorsport, except for those star drivers who can receive an annual salary of tens of millions of dollars, the salaries of other drivers are only a few hundred thousand dollars.
It can be said that in this circle, more people are struggling to support their interests and the pursuit of speed. On weekdays, there is very little income other than the prize money for the tournament ranking and the little money from the sponsors.
And people like Kuraki Ping, who have repeatedly failed to rank in the competition, let alone those who have not even made a good name.
So this time, in the last struggle, Kuraki Ping figured it out.
"Fuck the honor, Lao Tzu wants money!" Looking at Zhengxin No. 66 Juque, who was leading at the front of the team, thinking about the million-dollar bonus promised by Gujing Yan, Kuraki Ping bit the root and said fiercely.
"As long as you defeat Masanobu, whether you are a champion or not, right?" Thinking of what Furui Ken had emphasized to himself again last night, Kuraki Ping gritted his teeth.
"Okay! then defeat Zhengxin!"
His gaze was steadfast.
The other side.
In the midst of the huge que, Li Fanyu was upset by Han Yu's broken thoughts.
"Dong Li, you must not run away like yesterday today. If you look at today's road book, the driving section is only 29 kilometers today, and the remaining 300 kilometers are special sections. And today we will walk out of the mendacious Gobi and into the desert area. In the temperature of more than 40 degrees above zero, our battery consumption is definitely better than yesterday's. If you are so aggressive, we are afraid that we will have to change the battery twice in the middle of the way, although it will not take much time to change the battery, but you are so biao, waiting for the T5 group of support teams behind, it will be too much time to waste. ”
"Okay, okay, I'll open steadily today, okay?" Li Fan sighed foolishly and raised his hand to surrender. It's not that he has no courage or strategy, but the Dakar is different from previous road races, coupled with Juque's strong power and fierce off-road performance, this kind of wilderness dart rider feels really cool.
He can't control how many things he remembers.
Han Yu narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Anyway, we are here for the championship, with yesterday's results as a foundation, even if we win second and third today, it will not have much impact on the rankings." But if it's because the supply takes too long, it's not beautiful. Those who do not seek the overall situation are not enough to seek a domain, and those who do not seek the world are not enough to seek a time, long-distance rally, we have to think about it thoroughly, right?"
"Uh-huh, I know," Li Fanyu waved his hand and patted Han Yu's shoulder with a smile, "Old Han, there is really such an old man as you in the team."
……
In front of the EXP group, in the motorcycle convoy between the T2 group.
Celluloid groaned as she felt the wind hit her face with a hint of coolness and dust.
"Well, old irons, the next day's race has officially begun. At present, the position I am in is not far from the first echelon, and your Fan Ge is about two kilometers in front of me. Today's special sections are longer, lighter and have a lot of fuel range, and the whole motorcycle group is likely to be in the first echelon. When the time comes, let me see that this queen Dakar surpasses Li Fanyu, the Chinese car god!
When the conversation was over, Celluloid slowly asked the radio, "Live broadcast group, what do netizens say?"
I don't know what affected it, but the radio didn't answer.
"Test machine, test machine. 123,321!Please reply to the support live broadcast group, please reply to the support live broadcast group. Celluloid frowned and spoke out loud again.
After a while, an intermittent radio sound appeared in her ears: "Lu...... Lu...... ...... Collect"
"What a!" Celluloid muttered, patting her helmet.
Perhaps it was the profiteering knock that played a role, and the voice on the radio became clearer: "Lulu, Lulu, please speak when you receive it." ”
"Got it, what's going on? Why didn't you get back to you just now? Boss, we're in the desert! If I lose it, and the radio doesn't work anymore, where are you going to find me?" said celluloid.
"Haha, aren't you afraid you were frightened by Brother Fan last night? Don't worry, there is no man's land for hundreds of kilometers around today's stage. Even if you lose it, you won't be captured by the cannibals to make soup or go to be an RBQ."
"you!" Thinking that Li Fanyu's underwhelming nonsense was regarded as his laughing stock by everyone, Celluloid became angry.
Seeing that celluloid was in a hurry, the support team immediately got serious: "Lulu, I don't know what affected me just now, the radio was interrupted for a while, and even the satellite phone is not easy to use." But now it's okay, today's section is treacherous, you beware. ”
"Gotcha!" Celluloid replied.
At this moment, the command of the competition team came over the radio.
With just over 20 kilometers to complete, the second day of the Dakar race officially entered the arduous ultra-long distance special section.
The marathon stage of the motorcycle group begins!
Seeing the car in front of her accelerate suddenly, the corners of Celluloid's mouth hooked slightly, closed the helmet mask, and twisted the accelerator vigorously.
China's highest gear, that is, the No. 89 car of the Dakar CHTP motorcycle team, made a shocking sound under the driving of celluloid, pointing straight to the head of the team.
And not far behind Celluloid, within the EXP group sequence, Kuraki Ping, who had already hung a trace of fierceness between his eyebrows, stepped on the accelerator fiercely, and directly overtook the two biodiesel fuel racing cars in front of him with a brutal and almost fatal attitude, and still continued to surpass the front car with the powerful acceleration of pure electric vehicles.
This caused a small riot in the convoy.
Zhengxin K266 Juque, CHTP89, 61, the distance between the three racing cars, is gradually shrinking!
