In fact, since entering Uganda, Grandmaster and Fang Zhengying's speed has slowed down a lot, running for more than ten hours a day on average and running more than 1,000 kilometers. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Who makes the rainy season in this area from March to May every year?

Today, the Grandmaster and the others are still relatively lucky, the rain is light, so the two of them can drive 1,400 kilometers in one day, otherwise, if they advance on the grassland in the rainy season, it will be very good to be able to run a thousand kilometers in a day.

If it catches up with the heavy rain, the car can't run on the grassland at all, that's the worst thing.

In fact, the highways in Africa, except for the newly renovated highway like the one they took today, most of the other roads are roads, but in fact there is no difference between them and gravel roads, the roadbed is very low, and some even have no roadbed at all, that is, they rush out of a road directly on the grassland.

That's right, this kind of road that rushes out of the grassland and casually paves some asphalt on it is also called a road......

On such a road, once it rains heavily, it is also impossible to drive.

The rainy season in the African savannah is not what we imagined. Here, it either rains, once it rains, it is the next one that is overwhelming, and the water storage capacity of the grassland is usually very strong, so once the rain is too heavy, there are often some temporary lakes on the grassland, and some places can even form temporary swamps, which is very dangerous.

Even roads are often overwhelmed by sudden rainstorms, and it is impossible to find a way to go.

So, once you catch the rainstorm, an honest rest is better than anything else. If you dare to run a car in the rain, unless you're particularly lucky, you'll have to wait for your car to get stuck in the mud and not move.

These are the precious experiences that the veteran drivers who participated in the rally in the past have exchanged for blood and sweat, no one dares not to believe these experiences, it doesn't matter if you don't believe it, the rainy season of the African savannah will give you color in minutes.

When the Grandmaster and Fang Zhengying arrived in Mbeya, the heavy rain that had been held for a whole day was finally unbearable, and the Grandmaster and they had just parked the car, and the heavy rain smashed down on the head and face, and Fang Zhengying ran from the car to the hotel screaming.

Less than 30 meters from the parking space to the entrance of the hotel, the two people were drenched in soup.

After washing, the two of them sat in the restaurant on the second floor of the hotel, eating with a sad face and looking at the heavy rain outside the window.

The sky seemed to have been broken open, and the pouring rain poured down from the sky, and clusters of lightning in the distance added countless powers to the heavy rain.

In Tiandu, it is almost impossible to see such a rainstorm, Fang Zhengying held a spoon in his hand, while looking at the heavy rain outside the window with a sad face, while unconsciously stirring the soup in the bowl with a spoon, "Husband, if this rain can't stop tomorrow, won't we be able to walk?" ”

The Grandmaster smiled and said, "Daughter-in-law, this little rain is nothing. Anyway, tomorrow we have to cross the Kipengueret ridge and take the road, so even if the rain doesn't stop, it won't affect us. ”

After a pause, the Grandmaster explained: "The roads built by the African black brothers are indeed not good roads in the grasslands and rainforests, but there is still quality assurance in the mountains, so even if it continues to rain heavily tomorrow, we can run slowly along the road." ”

"However, it is also very dangerous to run the mountain road when it rains heavily."

"Hehe, isn't this driving with me? It's not a big deal, don't worry. ”

"Oh......" Grandmaster's words made Fang Zhengying feel a little more confident and began to eat.

The meal was a little sullen, and as soon as he finished eating, the grandmaster received a call from Lao Li.

"Master, I came to Kigali today on an errand, and I saw two racing cars in Kigali, one is car No. 01 with a green plate, and the other is car No. 753 with a blue plate......"

Lao Li's call made the grandmaster's heart tighten, and he didn't expect that the car behind him would chase so fast.

Although the Vladivostok-Cape Town Rally has only two categories, the car and the truck, but in order to distinguish between professional and amateur drivers, the colors of the signs on the cars are different.

The professional cars in the car group all have green license plates, and the amateur drivers have blue license plates.

The professional racing cars in the truck group all have red license plates, and the amateur drivers have yellow license plates.

As Lao Li said, the two cars he encountered in Kigali, the capital of Rwanda, one was a car from a professional team, and the other was a car driven by an amateur driver.

Coincidentally, the two car grandmasters also knew each other.

The amateur race car with the blue license plate No. 753 was Bruno and his son, who had been with Grandmaster and Fang Zhengying for several days. However, from the third stage onwards, the Grandmaster had already left the father and son far behind, and even when the Grandmaster arrived in Dakar, the father and son were still three days behind the Grandmaster.

What the grandmaster didn't expect was that he had only been in Dakar for a day, starting from March 19 for the sixth stage of the journey, today is the evening of March 24, six days, the father and son actually rushed out of the one-day schedule, and now Bruno and his son are still one day away from their own schedule.

It's no wonder that Bruno's father and son are their own father and son, and the two of them are still very hardworking, unlike Grandmaster and Fang Zhengying, who stay at the point and basically don't catch the night train. It is understandable that the father and son may rest for six hours a day, and the six days will be out of the day's schedule.

As for the car with the green license plate No. 01, the Grandmaster also knew it. The famous drivers who drove that car were none other than Wang Yan, the number one driver of the Real Madrid team, and his navigator Song Chao.

Wang Yan is a very young driver, only 23 years old this year. But this guy has competed in five Vladivostok-Cape Town Rallies, and he has won the last two championships in these five rallies, and now Wang Yan is aiming for his three consecutive titles.

As the overall champion of the last rally, Wang Yan's car will naturally hang the No. 01 license plate, which is a sign of respect for the defending champion and a rally tradition.

When there was a snowstorm in the first stage, Wang Yan's No. 1 car was also trapped in Borgia, and like other drivers, it took five days to be trapped. However, when Wang Yan ran the second stage, he decisively changed the route and did not take the western route, but the eastern route, so that he was at least five days faster than other professional riders who took the western route.

But even so, there was at least a five-day difference between Wang Yan and the Grandmaster, and as a result, people were stunned to catch up.

If you don't accept it, a professional driver is a professional driver, not to mention anything else, at least two people take turns driving, and at least one day can run at least 500 kilometers more than the grandmaster, so that people can catch up, and it is also a matter of course.

However, the Grandmaster was not worried, and now they had all run to Mbeya, which was a day's journey from Angoshe. From Angochet to Cape Town, the straight-line distance is only 3,000 kilometers, and the distance including the detour is only about 3,500 kilometers. As long as it doesn't rain heavily and works a little overtime, two days are enough to get from Angochet to Cape Town.

In other words, three days is enough time to get from Mbeya to Cape Town, as long as the weather allows. And it is basically impossible for Wang Yan to chase a one-day trip in three days.
