Chapter 776: A Red Streamer
As a young driver who was able to win the Vladivostok Cape Town Rally at the age of 23 and break a record that had been in place for almost five decades, Liu Zhengfei's talent and skill in racing are unquestionable.
Although the Grandmaster is recognized as a car god, he also failed to do a good job, that is, he did not complete the Vladivostok-Cape Town Rally in the shortest time.
Although this is the same as the 2017 rally that broke out in a blizzard, and the grandmaster took a woman to complete the race, but not breaking the record is not breaking the record, maybe the grandmaster himself does not care about this, but this is the biggest regret in people's perception of the grandmaster.
Liu Zhengfei wants to defeat the Grandmaster in the qualifying matches and the main competition, and pay tribute to his idol with his best side.
This kind of thinking is very good, but unfortunately, ideas are ideas after all, and there is still a long way to go from reality.
Liu Zhengfei drove a "dark night" supercar. Launched in 2008, it is the second production supercar in the world to reach speeds of over 400 km/h on road tracks.
Although Liu Zhengfei knew that the "Wuqi" supercar driven by the grandmaster was a new generation of supercar just launched by Real Madrid Group, and Liu Zhengfei also knew that the performance of this supercar was strong, Liu Zhengfei was not afraid.
As a world champion and a record-breaking world champion, Liu Zhengfei already has the heart of a strong man.
Seeing that the grandmaster drove the "Wuqi" off the starting line, and then quickly disappeared around the bend of the track, Liu Zhengfei only felt that the blood in his whole body was already boiling.
The difference of one minute is not large, of course, it is extremely difficult to surpass this gap on the Dybendorf circuit, after all, the grandmaster once ran a shocking result on the Dongdu circuit.
Liu Zhengfei knew this very well, and he knew that it would be difficult for him to surpass this minute in one lap, but if he narrowed the gap with the grandmaster to less than one minute, it would be a victory.
As soon as the countdown ended, Liu Zhengfei immediately stepped on the accelerator, and the V10 engine of the night supercar suddenly burst out with surging power, roaring to bring this supercar weighing 1167 kg to the top speed......
Switzerland's Diebendorf and Germany's Nürburgring Nord are recognized as the two most difficult circuits in the world, and although the Tiandu Circuit is one of the three major circuits, the Tiandu Circuit tends to be a high-speed track, which is not as difficult as these two tracks. However, although the Diebendorf circuit is difficult, it is not as dangerous as the New North circuit.
Before the 70s, the New North Circuit was the dedicated circuit for the Formula 1 German Grand Prix, and it was the longest track in the entire Formula 1 race. The length of 20.83km is nothing for an F1 race, but the shoulder of the track is very poor.
Everyone knows that the shoulder of the track in Formula 1 is a very important place for the driver, and it is very beneficial to make full use of the shoulder when entering and exiting corners to increase the speed of the car.
However, at the New North Circuit, the shoulder here is called the shoulder of death. Because the shoulder here is not the same as the shoulder of other tracks. The shoulders and pavements of other tracks are mostly flat, so it's no problem for cars to roll onto the shoulders. However, the shoulder of the New North Circuit is similar to the road teeth of ordinary roads, more than ten centimeters higher than the road surface.
This kind of shoulder must not be rolled, as long as you roll this kind of shoulder, then the rest can be left to God......
The Dybendorf Circuit is longer than the New North Circuit, and there are more corners and more drops, so in terms of difficulty, the Diebendorf Circuit surpasses the New North Circuit.
Of course, the Dybendorf circuit does not have such a dirty shoulder, and the shoulder of the Diebendorf circuit is the same as that of a regular F1 track.
Liu Zhengfei, who was a little excited, only felt that he was in excellent condition, the steering wheel in his hand seemed to be extremely sensitive, and the car under him seemed to be extraordinarily powerful.
The black night supercar is like a tuna swimming in the sea, with smooth corners, beautiful acceleration and deceleration, everything seems to be so harmonious.
Just as the New North Circuit has a straight track that is almost six kilometers long, there is also a straight track of more than six kilometers on the Circuit de Ribendorf. Located on the western shore of Lake Griffen, this straight track leads to a straight track dedicated to testing top speeds after crossing the Atdisburg Mountains.
Like the New North Circuit, this section of the straight track is not actually straight, but slightly curved, and the road surface of the track is not flat, but slightly sloping.
The reason why this section of the track was built like this is to allow the car to increase the speed of the car at high speed with the help of the centrifugal force caused by the slight curvature.
Although this is a small increase, it is already a great boost for the top speed of the test vehicle.
After all, this is a road course, not the Great Salt Lake Raceway in Nevada, USA. On the Great Salt Lake Circuit, you can easily find a dozen kilometers or even tens of kilometers of flat terrain, where you can test the car, you can easily increase the speed of the vehicle to the limit.
Liu Zhengfei's dark night supercar quickly passed through the Attis Berg Mountain, where there are many drops and curves, and came to this straight track on the west bank of the lake. It's a very enjoyable process to race around this section of the track, you don't have to think about corners, you don't have to think about drops, you just have to press the accelerator all the way and go all the way.
And the scenery of this section of the track is also quite beautiful, with the Attisberg Mountain to the west, the Griffin Lake to the east, and the track on the other side of the lake can be seen across the narrowest point, which is only 500 meters wide.
Liu Zhengfei's dark night supercar quickly increased its speed to the extreme on this straight road, this section of the straight track with a length of more than six kilometers, even if the dark night supercar runs at the highest speed, it will take more than a minute to complete this section of the track.
Originally, in Liu Zhengfei's thoughts, he could see the Grandmaster's car at the end of this section of the track, after all, Liu Zhengfei thought that there had been no mistakes along the way, and he had not lost any time, and he had fully exerted the fastest speed of this dark night supercar.
But to Liu Zhengfei's surprise, even if his dark night supercar reached the designed top speed of 418 km/h, he was not able to see the rear taillights of the grandmaster.
However, when Liu Zhengfei glanced at it inadvertently, he found that a red streamer suddenly appeared on the other side of the lake......
