Chapter 465: There are no ancients before and there will be no one after!
The F1 track in Dahua Dongdu is almost exactly the same as the Huhai track in the previous life in Shanghai, and it is a track that is roughly in the shape of the word "Shang". Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The track is 5.451 kilometres long, with 16 corners and two big straights, including the 1,175-metre straight between the T13 and T14 corners, which is currently the second longest of all F1 circuits.
In general, the difficulty of the Dongdu circuit is medium to high, and it is not a high-speed track.
The real high-speed circuit, Italy's Monza circuit is definitely counted, that track length is 350 meters longer than the length of the Dongdu circuit, but the fastest lap of the Monza circuit is 11 seconds faster than the fastest lap of the Dongdu circuit......
I don't know, I can see what the characteristics of the Dongdu track are.
The Dongdu Circuit is definitely not fast, but the corners here are relatively difficult, so your skill is more important than the performance of your car in this track.
For this, the Grandmaster has long understood.
After all, it was a race in Dahua, so the two drivers of the Real Madrid team were already familiar with the track.
The Grandmaster came here half a month ago to adapt to this track. He's a test driver and doesn't have to race with the team anywhere else, so he can get acquainted with the track in advance.
The third stage of the qualifying round started not long after the Grandmaster had just refueled. The Grandmaster drove the car out of the pits and started the first warm-up lap.
There is no limit to how many laps the car can run, as long as you have enough time, you can continue to run until the end of qualifying time if you feel that you didn't run well enough on this lap.
But no matter how you run, once you get from the pit lane to the track, because it doesn't start in real time, the driver will always drive the car for most of the lap before it starts to get into the official timing lap.
For most of the lap, one is to speed up the car, and more importantly, to make the tires of the car warm.
The pit exit of the Toto Circuit is less than 300 meters in front of the starting grid. This is right between the grid and the first corner, T1.
This means that when you get out of the pits, you'll find that your car has just crossed the grid timer, but hasn't reached the first corner yet. And as soon as you get out of the pits, you're immediately faced with the first corner of the track, and it's a group of corners with three corners in a row.
With about 135 litres of fuel, the Grandmaster's car is capable of covering about 190 kilometers, or almost 35 laps.
The reason why you have to add so much oil is mainly because of the problem of tires. If it weren't for the tires that couldn't hold on, the Grandmaster would even want to fill up the oil bladder directly. Formula 1 cars do not use ordinary fuel tanks, but fuel bladders made of special materials.
Generally speaking, a set of dry tires can last about 344 or 5 laps under normal conditions, and if this distance is exceeded, then the tires may not be able to withstand the force. So, the Grandmaster was going to use a pit stop strategy for tomorrow's race, which is why the Grandmaster asked the staff to add so much oil.
The weather in the eastern capital at the beginning of October has always been very good, except for the slightly cooler temperature, the competition in this weather is the most popular.
The Grandmaster also likes this kind of weather, when the weather is good, the mood is good!
So as soon as he came out of the pit lane with the car, he immediately started picking up speed.
The Grandmaster intends to run only three laps in the third stage of qualifying, including a warm-up lap in the first lap.
After the warm-up lap, the first time lap Grandmaster did not run with all his might, because the Grandmaster knew very well that the tire temperature was not high enough at this time, so he could not run well on the first lap.
But even the so-called "can't run any good results" lap in the grandmaster's opinion, his results also made many people unable to sit still.
Because the grandmaster ran a time of 1:29.113 on the first time lap.
This result turned out to be the fastest lap time record of 1:32.238 on the race track, which is more than two seconds faster!
Although the fastest lap of a track is the fastest lap of a recorded official race, and qualifying is not like the main race, which needs to consider the fuel load and the wear of the tires, so you can run with joy, so qualifying is usually a lot faster than the main race, but the grandmaster ran such a result on the first timed lap, which is a bit too scary.
Don't forget, although the fastest lap was set in 2004, it was set 12 years ago when the 3.0-litre V10 engine was used.
And the Grandmaster's time of 1:29.113 is enough to rank fifth in the fastest qualifying race in the history of the Dongdu Circuit. And the results that preceded this were all created in the V10 years.
After the FIA restricted the use of a 2.0-litre turbocharged V6 engine to an F1 car, the best qualifying time on the track was 1:33.556, and the fastest lap was 1:36.217.
In other words, it was this first time lap that was considered by the Grandmaster to be "not a good result", and it inadvertently broke the fastest lap time in a single lap and the fastest qualifying time in history created by the V6 engine, and quietly greatly improved the record!
The most important thing is that the grandmaster's result has firmly won the pole position for tomorrow's race!
At this time, the fastest time on the field was only 1:37.225, which was more than 8 seconds worse than the time run by the grandmaster!
The big red Real Madrid No. 12 raced like the wind across the grid in front of the podium, and while the Grandmaster broke the V6 engine lap record for the fastest lap in the first timed lap, his second timed lap began.
After the full speed of the first timing lap, the temperature of the tires has risen at this time, and the grip has increased significantly.
Even though the Grandmaster had learned over the radio that he had run an unbelievable time and was firmly in first place among all the riders, the Grandmaster was not let that determine.
Since you want His Majesty to leave a good impression, then it is necessary to create a jaw-dropping achievement, so that His Majesty the Emperor can believe in himself more.
So, leave a legacy that will never be surpassed!
After crossing the timing point, the Grandmaster continued to accelerate and accelerate again, although he was in a state of heavy oil, but when he reached the position where he should slow down before the first T1 turn, his car speed had already exceeded the maximum speed limit of 310 km/h set at this point on the track, at this point, the Grandmaster's real-time speed reached a terrifying 319 km/h!
If it were in an official competition, the Grandmaster would definitely not be able to go so fast, because the Grandmaster had to consider the wear of the tires, and of course he couldn't rush so hard. The most important thing is that if the speed of your car at this point is speculated on the design ceiling, then it is easy to get out of danger in the official race.
After all, you don't have to run alone like qualifying, but in the first corner, there will be a lot of cars in the first corner, and the danger is even greater if you go too fast.
Such a fast speed also frightened everyone who was paying attention to the Grandmaster.
"Master, slow down, don't be so fast, it's too dangerous. We're in a solid pole position now, don't fight so hard!" Chai Ying was so frightened that he hurriedly announced the grandmaster loudly on the radio.
The grandmaster smiled and didn't pay attention to Comrade Lao Chai.
Since he has to run an unprecedented record, of course the grandmaster has to fight.
The other teams were also shocked when they saw the grandmaster fighting so hard!
However, when he saw that the Grandmaster had passed the T1 bend safely with an extremely accurate and beautiful route tonight, Chai Ying clenched his fists excitedly and shouted loudly, while the top management of the other teams sighed in annoyance.
Then the Grandmaster's car is like a bluefin tuna in the deep sea, and it passes through the three successive corners of T2, T3 and T4 in a row, completing this continuous curve consisting of four corners in one go.
This combination of corners is the most complex continuous corner combination in the Dongdu circuit, and it is also the continuous corner combination with the largest number of corner compositions.
"Boss, the average speed of the master in consecutive corners from T1 to T4 is 12 km/h higher than the average speed limit of the track design! God, how does the master run?" said a staff member excitedly turning his head to Chai Ying, who was holding his arms to watch the real-time footage.
Chai Ying laughed and said: "This is the master's skill! It's really good! Have you seen it? The master made full use of the width of the shoulder when he passed these successive corners, and in each corner, the tires of his car pressed against the shoulder, but he did not run out of the shoulder. This allows the car to have the maximum angle in and out of the corner, and it doesn't affect the speed of the car!
All of this Chai Ying said is a kind of driving technology that exists in theory. Every driver knows that when entering and exiting corners, the tires of the vehicle can use the shoulder to complete the entry and exit corners as much as possible, which will undoubtedly give the car the best angle and route in and out of the corner, but unfortunately, the drivers who can do this are really rare.
One or two bends may be possible, but it is very rare for anyone to be able to do it with such precision in more than three consecutive bends with the help of the shoulder. And once he is able to do that, he will be able to race a lot faster than the other drivers!
A driver who can use anything at his disposal to increase his speed is a master!
Lao Shao over there also laughed happily, "Lao Chai, we all looked away before, this guy is not only good at driving, but also close to the limit of the use of racing cars." You come and see, whether it's on the straights or in corners, the engine revs very, really well. This allows the master to increase the engine speed faster when exiting the corner, so that the car's acceleration ability can be liberated to the greatest extent! God, this is the first time I have seen such a driver! It's amazing, it's amazing!"
The vehicles of the team race are equipped with monitoring chips in each important part of the vehicle, which can accurately monitor the operation of various parts of the vehicle, and transmit the data to the pit station in real time through radio, so that the pit staff can know the situation of the car at a glance.
Therefore, although Lao Shao, the technical director, is in the pit, he can still accurately see the operation of the car.
Compared to the driving skills of the grandmaster, this means of controlling the speed of the engine is even more amazing!
The executives of the other teams who were watching the Grandmaster car were also dumbfounded. Although they had no way of knowing the real-time speed of the Grandmaster's racing engine, the Grandmaster's miraculous driving skills left the team leaders speechless.
"How did this guy do that?" the Scuderia Ferrari leader was a little dumbfounded.
"How long has this guy been practicing on this track?" the McLaren team leader was stunned.
"God, this guy is either a master and a bold, or a madman who doesn't want to die!" The leader of the Renault team was dumbfounded.
……
Turn T6 is one of only two sharp corners on the Dongdu circuit, and in the design of the track, the top speed of the car cannot exceed 70 km/h when passing this corner, otherwise it is easy to rush off the track.
However, the madman Grandmaster actually drove the No. 12 car very neatly and quickly and beautifully through the T6 bend with a terrifying minimum speed of 83 km/h. This speed also frightened many people again.
The most important thing is that at the T6 turn, which is also the first timing point of the Dongdu Circuit, when the Grandmaster successfully passed the T6 turn, his time was 1.118 seconds less than the fastest qualifying record in history to pass this point!
"Buddha God! the first timing point is more than a second less than the fastest time in history, and the whole track is finished, isn't he almost four seconds faster than the fastest time in history? Is this possible?"
This is the common emotion in the hearts of almost everyone who sees the time taken by the Grandmaster after passing this timing point.
At this time, although there were seven other cars on the track, almost all eyes were now focused on the big red No. 121 car.
No way, this car is so dazzling, so dazzling that no one dares to ignore this car!
By the time the Grandmaster had successfully passed the second timing point, there was already a neat exclamation from the audience.
There were tens of thousands of spectators who came to watch the qualifying match today, and when these people saw the time of the Grandmaster's second timing point, they couldn't make any other sound except in amazement.
Not long after the Grandmaster crossed the second timing point in a time of 2.634 seconds lower than the all-time minimum, the Grandmaster set another course record, which was the fastest speed at the Dongdu Circuit.
The Dongdu Circuit is designed for a top speed of 327 km/h and is located at the end of the 1,175-meter-long Grand Straight. Of course, the speed of design is the speed of design, and the speed of the real race is the speed of the race.
A driver has ever run a speed of 339 km/h, which is the fastest ever recorded at the Dongdu Circuit, and of course, this record was also set by the V10 engine in the same year.
As the Grandmaster drove out of the T13 corner, anyone who watched noticed that he was already much faster than the fastest in history to cross the corner.
After exiting the corner, the speed of the car was increased to the extreme in almost the shortest possible time, and the Grandmaster also rarely increased the speed of the engine to 19,000 rpm, so at the end of this 1,175-meter-long straight, the Grandmaster actually increased the speed to the extreme of 348 km/h!
This speed is the fastest speed ever seen at the Dongdu Circuit!
At the end of this big straight, there is also an acute angle, the grandmaster has a thrilling pressure on the shoulder of the road quickly and perfectly through this sharp corner, the car accelerates and accelerates again, and then when the big red 12 car roars across the finish line, the result actually stops at an unbelievable 1:25.007!
In this timed lap, the Grandmaster actually improved the fastest qualifying record in history by a full 3.5 seconds!
This is definitely a qualifying record that has no precedent in this track, and it is difficult for future generations to break it!
