Part of the post-race interview with the GP team was for An Feng.

In addition to Cooper, who has a strong aura, An Feng's performance is also very optimistic, this defeat is not a technical weakness, but a strategic mistake, and anyone with a discerning eye knows that as long as the team adjusts, the excitement will return. But An Feng is very secretive, and the team did not arrange any news gathering activities about him.

An Feng is not deliberately mysterious, he just doesn't like to face the camera and reporters' interrogations, and in a white supremacy country like the United States, the main character that the news media wants to appear most is a white person, what kind of fun does he have as a minority? It is this low-key mentality that makes him mysterious.

If you are another driver, you must not be able to disobey the team's arrangement, at least you have to make an appearance in front of the public, even if you stand for a minute and say a few words, but An Feng is the boss, whether it is the event or the team, no one dares to arrange for him. He kept a low profile, and the team took care of it for him.

The so-called extreme of things must be reversed, and the mystery has attracted more people's attention.

There are a lot of people talking about him in the event forum, and a few photos are posted, and someone recognizes him as the husband of the owner of Liverpool, a rich man, but now he comes to play racing? It's really strange, rich people generally protect their lives very well, but I didn't expect to have such a passionate side.

This is very impressive for the fans, if you are a driver who has loved cars since childhood, has outstanding driving skills, and finally made it to this road, there is nothing to say, there are many real-life examples. But a rich man who lacks nothing comes to play motorsports, and this contrast will arouse curiosity.

Whether in the United States or in Europe, when discussing the No. 2 driver in Las Vegas, he mentions his identity as a billionaire, this contrast is very gossipy, and with a few photos of An Feng's enthusiastic family and friends and wife, a valuable report is freshly released.

Since GP Energy went public. An Feng's net worth is also rising, currently estimated at more than $12 billion, and public data shows that he holds a stake in GP, not GP Energy, which has its own projects. There is also GP Electronics, which is not weak at all, so the assets are doubled.

The asset issue that has been controversial for a period of time has been settled, and Liverpool fans are very satisfied, no wonder the boss lady dares to burn money lavishly, and no wonder she has not shown up recently, it turned out to be participating in racing. In addition to football, racing is also a popular sport in Europe.

Then some fans who like cars began to pay attention to Anfeng.

When the event was broadcast worldwide, they also saw An Feng's outstanding performance in the car.

Regardless of anything else, this technique is really not bad.

So before the start of the third stop. An Feng's popularity is rising, and the popularity of the MC Challenge is also rising, the team airlifted the car to Texas, and An Feng still stayed in California for vacation, which can't be helped, if he runs to the track all day to practice, it's a bit ...... The feeling of being destined for a lifetime of loneliness is destined for the sling.

No matter how Joanna is, she will not allow it, she asks An Feng to have enough rest. She asked the housekeeper to find a masseuse to massage and recuperate him, and let the chef formulate a balanced meal. There is also a reminder from the Internet that if he wants to abstain from sex a few days before the game, he must maintain strong energy and condition.

An Feng understood: "Just let me hold a fire to finish the game, and then carry you to bed?" ”

Joanna hit him: "Nonsense! ”

……

An Feng only came to Austin on Friday.

Before that, the other riders had more or less trained for a day or two, but he was too late...... Austin is a permanently fixed F1 track. It has long straights, high-speed corners and sharp corners, in addition to its large height difference, two or three hundred kilometers of car uphill and downhill, the center of gravity changes frequently.

An Feng drove a few laps. Originally, the acceleration of two or three Gs was intense enough, and then going downhill at high speed, it felt more fierce than riding a roller coaster, and it was said that the roller coaster was only about 3 G, but it was all-round, and the car was only subject to horizontal acceleration, and it felt weaker than the three-dimensional one.

An Feng felt that after adapting to this acceleration, he would be able to doze off on the roller coaster in the future.

After several rounds of testing and tuning, the focus was on tuning the suspension to increase downforce and replacing the brakes, which were moderately worn on the track. The racing motor is not tuned, and the reason is naturally the traditional track, which is just right at the moment.

After Saturday's practice session, qualifying was held on Sunday morning, and this time in Austin, Anfeng's fan base was even stronger, because the headquarters of GP was in Austin, which is the second home of the GP team! I don't necessarily know how to race, but it's a weekend, so I didn't have to go to work.

GP also bought more than 3,000 tickets and gave them to employees for free.

There were more than 50,000 spectators at the qualifying match alone, and the main race in the afternoon exceeded 70,000.

The scale of 70,000 people has reached the level of IndyCar or F1. But there are also reasons why the ticket fee is much cheaper than other events...... Whatever! There were thousands of people shouting from the GP team. An Feng also lived up to expectations, and this qualifying session brushed the second fastest lap.

The race kicked off with great anticipation, and the camera swept over the spectators, and the GP team's flag fluttered everywhere, including passionate fans and GP employees, and it was not wrong to support the company's team even if they didn't watch the race. After the first two events, the atmosphere was enthusiastic.

An Feng said hello to the racing MM and got into the car to prepare.

After a warm-up lap, the five lights go out, all the cars are launched, and the battle is back.

The Austin track was challenging, with a short straight of the start, followed by an emergency hairpin corner, and a hill climb, which allowed the car to plummet from 300 to 100 and at least 2.5G of acceleration, followed by a high-speed downhill ride back to over 300.

The first corner was very exciting, An Feng followed closely behind Cooper, and Chevrolet also followed behind him, easily passing through the high-speed corner, not letting the driver relax, and then ushering in a series of high-speed corners, whether it was for the tires or the driver, it was a huge test of endurance.

Follow a hairpin bend, enter a high-speed running state, and then usher in a very torturous chain of hairpin bends, and finally a high-speed to low-speed sharp bend, here it is best to switch to a single motor to play rear-drive. It's not easy to run a lap, and only Formula 1 can cope with it more easily, and the touring car is a bit difficult.

Even in the middle of the race, there was an accident where the motor was burned, and the motor of the car in front burned out. The car behind the car rear-ended, and the field immediately lit up with a yellow flag.

The team's engineers took advantage of the time when the yellow flag could not overtake and provided the drivers with strategies.

The performance of the car is too fierce, a bit of the formula does not dare to always hit the accelerator for fear of bursting the cylinder, and the car also has to be careful to burn the motor, braking and accelerating too frequently. It can also cause a puncture. According to statistics, on average, every time a tire is replaced, there are signs of peeling and damage.

But the difficulty is for everyone, although An Feng's performance is not as exaggerated as the first stop, the complex corners still allow him to fully exert his strength. If someone uses a computer to draw it, they will find that the brakes and driving directions are incredibly accurate, almost as if they were drawn by a computer!

In the end, An Feng lived up to expectations and won the runner-up with a gap slightly behind the first.

First place went to Cooper. He also adjusted from the unfavorable environment of the last car tuning, but An Feng was not the slightest jealous of him winning the first place, when An Feng was on vacation for three days, he was training hard, and when An Feng went back to rest after three or two hits, he was still summing up his experience.

After the race, An Feng stood on the podium again, and after the end, as always, he was very low-key.

All the curious journalists did not get any interviews and responses from him. In the interview with the GP team after the awards, Cooper was present. Driver No. 2 Ann is still nowhere to be seen, and the team explained that the driver is too busy to spare time. The reasons for the explanation are far-fetched.

After the third race was broadcast in Europe and the United States, the enthusiasm for this electric car race has been ignited.

When the car was running at high speed, the sharp and slender sound of the plane had been imprinted in the ears of the audience, and it also made the audience in front of the TV feel the charm of the unique sound. Afterwards, some professionals analyzed that the motor should have adopted a sound amplification device, otherwise the sound would not be so strong.

But as long as the game is exciting enough and the sound stimulates the audience, who cares?

Preparations for the fourth leg are also intensive. Since Austin is a bit far from Indianapolis, Maserati flew the cars by civilian transport aircraft, which increased the cost, but compared to the hot event, the speed and status of the team is the advertisement, it is the money!

……

The game was also transferred to Indiana on time.

While the drivers were familiarizing themselves with the track and practicing, An Feng was still on vacation in Texas to recuperate, and his wife was in good shape, and finally couldn't resist the temptation of the world of flowers, and went to the love hotel to enjoy the romantic theme and roll the sheets, only to reappear two days later.

An Feng feels that it is not as good as normal.

Just like his talent and excellent memory, An Feng only practiced on Saturdays, and soon formed an impression and feeling of the track. Feeling is especially important, and the driver needs to adapt repeatedly to catch it, and Anfeng only needs to store it in his head and play it back when the time comes.

In the team's strategy meeting, the engineer asked Cooper to continue to be first, and Anfeng was to compete for first.

This sounds a bit contradictory, but there are data to support it - Anfeng's first stop is a few parking spaces away from Cooper, the second stop is not discussed about strategic mistakes, and the third station is closer to Cooper. Then there are some data from the practice match and the qualifying round, and An Feng is improving at a terrifying speed.

It can be seen from the fact that he still finished runners-up after leaving home.

The match also attracted more than 60,000 spectators.

Indianapolis has hosted many F1 editions, and Anfeng feels like a miracle with its modified oval track, which has been forced into the traditional permanent circuit, and then leaves about 45% of the elliptical remnant...... Truth be told, it's not much different from Las Vegas.

It's just that Las Vegas has more ellipses and here there are less.

His car has also been replaced with two electric motors tuned for the middle and rear sections, so this time everyone no longer has to worry about not being able to increase the speed in the rear end...... Qualifying Anfeng did not disappoint, finishing third. Before the start of the race, it is customary for fans to wave the GP Team flag for him.

An Feng stood in the starting area, there was a camera facing him, the big screen also showed his figure, the fan group in the audience stood up and waved the flag, it is said that the flag was customized by Wang Le, and there were team uniforms...... Last time, he said that he had become an Anfeng brain-dead fan, and this rhythm is really similar.

After some preparation, the drivers went into battle, and the rest of the crew left the development area, and the atmosphere of the race arrived.

The signal lights go out and the race officially begins.

The track is easier than Austin's, but the fly in the ointment is that the high-speed track has no buffer zone and is prone to car accidents...... The name of its car accident put pressure on many drivers, and the first few laps seemed a little cautious, but after An Feng overtook neatly, others couldn't hold back.

Limited by the ellipse, the track has 13 corners, with fewer high-speed corners, but the straights will be fast.

After coming back from a lap, An Feng used up KERS in the last high-speed corner, reaching a speed of 310 per hour, followed by a kilometer-long straight, An Feng didn't know how fast others were, anyway, his racing screen had exploded! It stopped at 362 and didn't move, and its eyes produced tunnel vision.

When the car is driving at high speed, people's field of vision will be narrowed, and the general driver will not be able to adapt to it after breaking through 300, and he will not be able to see things clearly, and he basically relies on his feelings to drive. Racers can overcome through training, Anfeng has a good physique, strong adaptability, and is adapted to about 330 as a professional driver.

But now the speed is a little terrifying, the motor horsepower bursts, his field of vision narrows, he can't see what is around him clearly, it lasts for a short time, and in an instant he begins to loosen the electric door and brake with his left foot at the same time. To its credit, the elliptical corners are sloping, which provides downforce for high-speed cornering.

Even high-speed racing cars can pass smoothly.

This track is also the fastest sprint in the five races, and those who don't use KERS have 330, and after more than a dozen laps, the spectators have gained great excitement, and the racers also enjoy the fun of letting go of the speed and racing. After entering the traditional track, it became a fierce section of the competition for the position, and An Feng's performance also lived up to expectations.

Overtook Echigo several times, and the championship overtaking staged by An Feng could not be completed, and the car crossed the line side by side with Cooper, but still left a gap.

The champion is still Cooper, in terms of driver level, some people say that DTM is for F1 to train players, and F1 as the top event, its driver strength can not be underestimated. As for An Feng, it was also a combination of strength, openness and talent, and he won the second place again.

It's just that it feels a bit like the second thousand-year-old, An Feng considered whether to discuss it with Cooper, and give me the first ...... at the terminal But just think about it, racers are born for honor, and cheating is looked down upon. Finally, he went to the podium and continued to play champagne battles with the drivers and spectators.

This time, I paid less attention to An Feng.

Because after the fourth race, the overall championship has been produced, in terms of points, Cooper won three times and finished second once, even if he was absent in the last race, he is also the overall champion, and the first place is secured, and everyone is busy interviewing him and the GP team.

The dust has settled on the championship, and the runner-up and third place are still in suspense.

The candidate is between An Feng and the Chevrolet driver, their points gap is not big, the ranking of the last race is very important, if An Feng wins the second, the runner-up is him, if the Chevrolet driver wins the second, the runner-up trophy will leave An Feng, he can only be the third.

The last leg is particularly crucial. (To be continued......)
