Chapter 221: Strong Duel [Three Watches]

(632 votes)

……

It's a matchup.

In terms of cars, McLaren F1, Saleen S7 and Koenigsegg CCR are comparable in performance, with an acceleration of about 3 seconds per 100 kilometers and a top speed of more than 360 kilometers, which is a testament to the glory of the era. In the actual test, it was also comparable, and in the 1/4-mile acceleration race, all three cars completed in about 11 seconds.

In terms of people, the first two have played professionally, no matter what the track is, their strength will be stronger than ordinary people, and An Feng's performance of 1 minute and 40 seconds in a lap just now is also very outstanding, at least they may not be able to run out if they try their best, and the sports car is the first time to play.

In the eyes of the spectators, it became a matchup between a standard sports car and a driver, and even the news of the competition reached the car management, who sent technicians to provide them with services to check the condition of the car, tires, fuel, etc.

Before starting the competition, Duke proposed, "How about a beer for third place?" ”

Howard agreed: "Of course it's got to be a little bit of a lottery!" But the change is changed, the second and third places have to drink, and there can only be one winner! ”

"Bruce, what about you?" Duke looked at him.

"I'm fine, it's up to you!" An Feng said, thinking that it was just a meal...... Obviously, it's still a lot of pressure against the pros.

After the inspector confirmed that there were no other sports cars on the track, the three cars were lined up in front of the key line in turn, and all parties were ready, according to the requirements, the first person to run 10 laps won the victory, the total race was very short, and it was expected that the slow would be completed in about 18 minutes, and a tank of fuel was enough.

An Feng drank half a bottle of water, racing is a sport that consumes body water, the most typical is F1. The degree of dehydration after a run is enough to shock ordinary people, while the riders can still talk and laugh, which requires particularly rigorous exercise, but it just so happens that An Feng is a person with a strong physique.

Put on his helmet, get back into the driver's seat, and let the uniformed staff close the door for him. In order to meet the occasion, there was even a female rider who went into battle coolly, waving black and white flags, adding a lot of highlights to the race. The rest of the riders or spectators have long since disappeared - running to occupy the high ground.

Although the track could use the command lights, everyone still found the racing girl more exciting, and as the flag fell, the three cars roared at the same time, and the tires rubbed against the ground to emit a puff of white smoke, and rushed out at the same time. Started fighting for the lead after the start.

According to the performance of 100 kilometers of acceleration, the three cars are comparable, but in the 0-100 miles (161 kilometers) acceleration section, McLaren's advantage is fully displayed, An Feng stepped on the accelerator, stared at the rearview mirror, and the two cars were pulled away by him, gaining a temporary lead.

Then he was greeted with a small bend. It's very simple, stick to the inside line and rush through. The outside line that just appeared at the exit of the corner, still maintaining the lead, glanced at the rearview mirror, and the rear were CCR and S7, which were actually not a test of technical skills, but the performance of the car.

Straight again. The CCR is full of horsepower in the middle and back sections, and has been alongside him, and has surpassed it little by little.

CCR was the first to enter a big corner ahead.

In the face of the corner, Anfeng knows that the challenge really begins, if you don't want to be affected by centrifugal force when cornering at high speed. If you lose control, you have to cut straight corners, which is a "outside-inside-outside" racing skill. Enter the curve from the outside before entering the corner, drive on the inside in the middle section, and switch back to the outside of the curve after passing the top of the curve. If you draw it, the motion of the car is almost straight.

The leading CCR in front was stumped by this big corner, although it was fast, but the track performance was not as good as F1, which was specially designed to adapt to the complex and changeable environment, and the CCR was not dominant in the corner, so after it rushed out of the corner, An Feng was already behind him, and the speed was faster.

An Feng gritted his teeth, the opportunity was fleeting, he slammed the steering wheel, the high-performance sports car traversed from right to left behind the CCR, he stepped on the accelerator and put his right hand in gear, using the high speed out of the corner to overtake it from the left side, and before the second corner arrived, regained the first position again.

An Feng regained some self-confidence.

Maybe it's because there are chasers behind that can make people run faster, such as when there are vicious dogs chasing and biting behind them, people's explosiveness is always strong. An Feng felt that the machine brain and the biological brain were rotating at the same time, and various data overlapped with the images of the previous racing cars, and analyzed the best situation.

"The next bend is slow, down one gear......" An Feng's mind automatically flashed his previous experience, he entered the bend too fast in front of him, and he was in a hurry to control the direction, and if he turned too much, he would bear very large centrifugal force, resulting in frequent braking and chaotic trajectory...... So brake into the corner first.

This time he entered slowly, stepped on the accelerator halfway through, and accelerated out of the corner...... Perfect pass! An Feng breathed a sigh of relief, and looked behind him again, S7 had already exceeded the CCR, biting his ass tightly. It is worthy of being a professional driver, even if you are already ahead, but you are followed by someone in an orderly manner, and the pressure is like a mountain.

In a straight line, F1's power will give you a lot of confidence, and after sprinting a straight line, you will suddenly make another sharp turn of nearly 60 degrees, and it will also be accompanied by a downhill slope with no cushioning on the side of the road - if you go too fast, it will definitely be a tragedy from rushing out of the road and hitting your head on the crash tyre.

An Feng's mind is full of this difficult corner, and passing the downhill corner at high speed is generally seeking death - unless your car can ensure that the four wheels are close to the ground, dozens of tons of wheeled armored vehicles or tanks can do, but this is a sports car known for its lightweight, the most effective way is to brake to the second gear, cut into the corner from the inside line, and after reaching the top of the curve arc, find a good direction and then cut out the outside line...... Still safe to pass.

He glanced in the rearview mirror, and there was no shadow!

The pride didn't come for too long, the haunting orange and yellow S7 moved sharply sideways, the rear of the car swung twice, and once again bit the F1 buttocks, and it cut to the inside line, it looked like it was just a high-speed corner, and gained a faster speed than An Feng out of the corner - this is to overtake!

"Oops!" An Feng stepped on the throttle to the end, but the S7 out of the corner speed was there, and if he accelerated at the same time, the original advantage was difficult to grasp, S7 passed quietly from his side, and An Feng stepped on the throttle and was powerless. I can only look at the S7's taillights flashing a few times when cornering.

Duke is great and has good control over the throttle. I rarely hit the brakes.

After another corner, An Feng was already sweating, and several high-speed corners in a row, bringing a lateral acceleration of nearly 2G, which meant that the original 10 kg object would become 20 kg, and the helmet on his head suddenly became heavy, pressing his neck. His breathing was a little difficult, but he quickly adjusted.

Glance at the rearview mirror again, the car in front is not far away, and the car behind is still chasing and fighting, and the second car is not good.

After following S7 through a few corners, he encountered the spiral bend again that caused him to have a blind spot in his vision, and went uphill first, he was mentally prepared to be overtaken, after all, he was an amateur. Certainly not as skilled as the pros, so he ran along the exterior at a modest slow pace, trying to keep the body close to the ground.

Driving the S7 in front of him, Duke may have been confident in his racing skills, and although he felt a little drifty before entering the corner, and he was expected to be unstable when he went downhill, he still ran along the center, wanting to quickly pass through corners with drop drops and blind spots in a shorter straight line.

With a respectful mentality, An Feng followed the S7 into the corner. And then...... The downhill increased its speed, and he pressed the throttle. As a result, the steer was understeered, the tire on one side of the car rushed out of the sand outside the track, and the brakes sounded, and An Feng was shocked...... But he reacted quickly, and when the CCR behind him was about to overtake, he hit the steering wheel and stepped on the accelerator. The black beast swayed its tail, grabbed the CCR's overtaking lane, and roared out of the road.

This time, instead of an orange S7 in the rearview mirror, it was replaced by a gray silver CCR.

An Feng laughed proudly. It is estimated that Duke has played too much in Nazca, and will only take small angle corners and not adapt to the corners with large height differences (Nazca's track is a very simple ellipse)...... After the hardest corner, he crossed the finish line on the first lap with ease.

On the straight, F1 and CCR once again staged a straight-line acceleration duel, with a small lead in F1, and steadily passed the corner according to the memory and feel of the machine's brain. It's a bit of a cheat, and every time he feels the satisfaction, it's like saving the feeling and playing it over and over again.

As a result, his car will only get better and better.

……

On lap 10, the black McLaren swept across the finish line at a buzzing super-high speed, and the tachymeter showed that it had reached a speed of 330 km/h when it crossed the line, three bodies ahead of the second-place S7 and five bodies in the third, and won the victory!

When the three cars returned to the pit, the audience gathered around, and one of the men in overalls was full of horror: "What a surprise! The McLaren owner clocked 1 minute and 34 seconds on lap 9, and a little faster could have broken the Dodge Viper's record of 1 minute and 33 seconds! ”

An Feng was also a little surprised.

Sweaty after getting out of the car, Duke smiled and asked, "Bruce, aren't you also a professional driver or professionally trained?" ”

An Feng was modest: "I just like to drive fast!" ”

Everyone didn't believe it, this kind of technique was obviously not something that ordinary people could run out, and An Feng didn't reveal the mystery, after all, it was a bit dishonorable to open his own...... If you simply use the biological brain to drive, you can guarantee that you will give them two to overtake in the first lap, and you can only eat ash later.

But the machine brain made him do one thing ten times, and every process, every feeling has experience, what to do, how much throttle, and the angle of steering...... It's almost all the same. In this mode, it's hard to beat the opener unless you're a professional driver who is familiar with the track.

So the opening allowed him to win.

Duke and Howard didn't bother with the result, they came over and hugged An Feng, congratulated them, and fulfilled their promise: "We said that the second and third places will have a treat for beer, and the friends here can also come if they want to participate, let's go to a nearby bar and have a drink!" ”

In the nearby bar, the three of them and some of the new car friends they just met arrived, which also led to this ordinary bar, more than a dozen eye-catching sports cars suddenly stopped at the door, Ferrari and Lamborghini, these are already clichΓ©s, and the rare McLaren, Saleen and Koenigsegg are here.

Everyone was drinking and talking about racing cars and sports cars.

Later, I learned that Duke was originally the son of a team sponsor in Nazca, and he liked to play racing since he was young, but Nazca's accident rate is not low, crashes are common, and rich businessmen are unwilling to let their children take risks, so his career is only a few games.

Duke proudly said, "JGR, Joe. The Gibbs team, the second most valuable team, is in full swing this year and has the hope of surpassing the first! ”

NASCAR is very popular in the United States, far more than the cold F1, An Feng at first did not understand what is the fun of running in an elliptical without skills, and when he actually came to the scene, he found that the roar brought by the top-level tuning engine alone was enough to burn the enthusiasm of the audience!

Talking about the back, everyone talks about cars, collections, etc., all of the people present can be enough to drive Ferrari and other sports cars, and they also belong to the wealthy class, and they are very wealthy, and some people's collections at home are very enviable to An Feng, such as Laferrari, which is very rare so far, which simply makes the population flow all over the place.

But later, after An Feng talked about the luxury racing track he was building, it was everyone's turn to drool.

An Feng took the opportunity to promote his racing track, saying that after the establishment, I hope that everyone will cheer for the field, everyone is a fan, and there is no shortage of money, it is very talkative, and they have said that on the day of the opening, they will definitely be there, and they will drive the most classic cars. (To be continued......)
