Chapter 790: Odds
The Grandmaster only ran two laps, and Fang Zhengying, who was sitting in the car, couldn't stand it.
This track is really a little unsuitable for her.
Back at the starting point, the Grandmaster put Fang Zhengying down and continued to run. All the fans who are paying attention to the Grandmaster know that he is now familiar with the track, and the speed of more than ten minutes per lap is not a result that the Grandmaster can run.
On lap three, the Grandmaster began to slowly increase his speed, and by the time he averaged over 140 km/h, he had already reached the nine-minute mark for the lap.
In fact, being able to run nine minutes in a lap at the New North Circuit is already a very good result. And the cars and drivers that can run into the eight-minute mark are basically professional drivers and first-line supercars, and if your car is slightly worse than the driver, there is no way to break the eight-minute mark.
Of course, if you can run seven minutes, congratulations, you'll be one of the best drivers in the world, and your car will definitely be the best supercar in the world.
In fact, from 1975 to the present, only 14 cars have been officially recorded to be able to run the seven-minute mark, including two F1 cars and the Porsche 956, the professional race car driven by Berauf.
The remaining eleven cars are mass-produced supercars!
If you want to run the seven-minute mark, you have to reach an average speed of 180 km/h.
This may not seem like a fast speed, but don't forget that this is the Nürburgring Nordschleife, known as the "Green Hell", which is one of the most difficult circuits in the world.
Running an average speed of more than 180 km/h on this track, only fourteen people have been able to do it in 44 years of history!
But these fourteen people, any one of them is the master of hundreds or even thousands of laps on the New North Circuit, especially those professional test drivers, they can run more than 10,000 laps on the New North Circuit!
However, the Grandmaster ran into the nine-minute mark on the third lap, which was already quite scary.
But even more frightening is yet to come.
On lap four, the Grandmaster reached an average speed of 160 kilometers per hour, which allowed him and his Wuqi supercar to easily break the eight-minute mark and become the 81st official record of all the New North Circuit with a time of 7:41.23!
To be honest, this ranking is really bad for a super driver of the Grandmaster's level, but if you look at the cars in front of him, you will feel that the Grandmaster's result is actually quite hanging!
Ferrari Enzo, Porsche 911/918, Koenigsegg, Pagani, Dodge, Bugatti Veil, ......
The most important thing is that the Grandmaster has only run four laps!
On the fifth lap, the Grandmaster's result once again shocked everyone's jaws, because the average speed of the Grandmaster on this lap was actually increased to 178 km/h!
It's not instantaneous speed, it's not straight speed, it's New North Circuit!
If other drivers want to increase the average speed by 18 km/h, it will take a long time to get it, especially from 160 to 178, which requires not only the driver's effort, but also your car. Without a powerful car, even if Stephen Berauf was reborn, he would not have been able to increase his average speed by 18 km/h in one lap!
But looking at the Grandmaster's easy driving, this speed is obviously not his limit.
But even so, the time of 6:56.36 was enough for the grandmaster to successfully become the 10th fastest driver ever at the New North Circuit!
This result was enough to cause a sensation, and when the Grandmaster started to run the sixth lap, almost everyone came to the starting point, and even those who were originally running the lap, when they learned that the Grandmaster had managed to make it to the top 10 in history, they all took the initiative to stop the car when they returned to the starting point, drove the car off the track, and then people got out of the car and huddled with other fans, ready to continue to witness the miracle happening.
At this time, no one felt that the Grandmaster could not break the record. This guy is simply terrifying, and it is unimaginable that he has taken out most of the riders and cars on the planet in just five laps.
And the Grandmaster is running faster and faster, and it is clear that he is becoming more and more familiar with the track, and at this pace, it may not take more than three laps for Stefan Burauf's 36-year-old record to be broken.
Of course, not everyone thinks that the Grandmaster will be able to break Berauf's record, after all, Berauf had a time of 6:11 and Berauf was driving a professional race car.
Although the Grandmaster's current performance is also amazing, it is still more than forty seconds away from Berauf's record. In this level of competition, let alone more than forty seconds, even four seconds is a very difficult level to cross!
After all, this car is a production street car, although this car once broke the limit speed of a production street car on the Diebendorf circuit, and this car is also much higher than the top speed of the Porsche 956, but now it is not the straight acceleration ability and the ultimate speed, but the average performance of the car!
How can a production street car compare to a professional race car?
There are quite a few people who hold this view, and you can't say that these people don't think right, on the contrary, their ideas are the most reasonable. After all, the automotive industry has been developing for nearly 40 years since Berauf created that terrifying achievement, and all kinds of supercars have emerged one after another, but no one has ever been able to break Brauf's record, which is enough to prove that Berauf's record is absolutely golden!
If the Grandmaster were driving the same Porsche 956 or F1 car, then absolutely no one would doubt that the Grandmaster would be able to break the record, but the Grandmaster was driving a production supercar that had been developed for less than a month.
The people who held both views even made bets on the spot, and some of the clever guys even opened the bank, and they bet on whether the Grandmaster would break Berauf's record, which the Grandmaster would only be able to break in the first few laps.
The Grandmaster broke Berauf's record and the bookmaker offered odds of 1.18, but unable to break the record, the bookmaker offered odds of 1.37. Clearly, even the bookmakers are optimistic that the Grandmaster will be able to break Berauf's record.
As for breaking the record on the first lap, it's hard to guess. However, the dealer still gave odds of 30 to break the record on the eighth lap, 25 to 1 on the ninth lap, and 20 to 1 on the tenth lap...... It wasn't until the twentieth lap that the record was broken that the bookmaker offered odds of 2.8 to 1.
Obviously, even the bookmakers were not optimistic that the Grandmaster would be able to break Beraugh's record in 20 laps.
In their opinion, even if the Grandmaster can break the record, at least he will have to wait until tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.
The difference of more than 40 seconds is too big, and the gap between the cars is too big......
It's just that what no one knows is that when the dealer opened the odds, Fang Zhengying smiled and bought a bet of 200 euros to break the record in the eighth lap of the grandmaster......
