Chapter 203: Sponsor Shifts
While the two were talking, a sapphire blue racing car galloped over, and in the blink of an eye, it had already been speeding away, and the two outsiders looked at each other: just talking about the highlights, it seems that the highlights have already come?
"Which team's car was there?" The thin man turned his head and asked his companion in some surprise, "I don't think I've seen this team before, it seems that when I turned the corner just now, the brake point of this car was quite late." ”
"I don't care," the fat man shook his head, indicating that he, like his colleague, was not too impressed by the car that had just passed, "but it doesn't matter, qualifying is only the first lap now, and we have time to take a closer look." ”
"Which team is it?" The thin man muttered to himself, "Have I really found something to look forward to?" ”
While the two were talking, the car had already completed a lap and was speeding up again.
"It's going to be bad!" Seeing that the car had not braked fifty meters from the corner, the thin man exclaimed. According to his own visual observation, the speed of this car is definitely more than 200 kilometers per hour, at this speed, the 50 meters before the corner of the brake is the last safe distance, if it is below this distance, the only consequence of the car is because the braking is too late to rush off the track!
Could it be that I guessed wrong? The driver of this car is not a genius, but a novice? The thin man couldn't help but start to suspect in his heart that only a rookie without any experience would make such a low-level mistake.
The fat man didn't speak, just stared at the sapphire blue race car with his eyes firmly fixed.
To the surprise of the two, the car did not cause any danger, and it was still speeding like a gust of wind in front of the two of them as it had been last time.
"How is that possible? How can it be? Until the car ran away and there was no shadow in sight, the thin man still had a surprised expression as if he had seen a ghost in broad daylight.
Not only the thin man, but even the fat man was shocked, what did he see just now!? The car was only 30 meters away from the corner before it began to brake and shift gears to slow down, and at this distance, the speed exceeded the limit of the braking force. It shouldn't have been able to slow down to a low enough speed to turn, but this car not only slowed down to a safe speed in such a short distance, but also passed safely?! As a tire sponsor for the World Superbike Championship. Of course, the fat man knew that such an action was not due to the tires, but because of the brakes of the car, and the performance of the braking system was good enough to make anyone who knew this line of work drool! The brakes on this car are better than those used by all the teams today!!
"It seems that there is really something good to see this time." The fat man muttered softly.
"Got it." The thin man took out a document from his bag, and it was a list of all the participating teams this year, "This team is a manufacturer team from a motorcycle company in China, and the name of the team is Alice Racing. Oh my god, what the fuck, when did that poor and backward part of China have a team competing in the World Superbike Championship? Let me see who their tire sponsor is," the thin man muttered as he flipped through the information, and suddenly his mouth cursed, "." Damn it, their tire sponsor turned out to be our Michelin! Which bastard did this, and how did I not know such an important thing? ”
"You know," the fat man replied to the thin man with a blank face, but he didn't turn his head, his eyes still staring at the far side of the track, "and you laughed at them at the time that they were sure to be taught a lesson by all the teams this season. ”
"Hell," the thin man tugged at his hair in pain, and the fat man's words clearly reminded him, "yes." I remembered, but who the fuck would have imagined that such a team from that poor and backward China could have such a good car? ”
Two people. It is the special resident observer of Michelin Tyres, the main tyre sponsor of the World Superbike Championship, who observes the teams on the track in order to collect accurate enough data for the company's next step in developing newer, better-performing tires.
At this time, what Ducati, what Honda, what Kawasaki. They were all left behind by the two of them, and now there is only one thought in my mind, I must find out what is going on with this sapphire blue car!
"Alright, pay attention," the fat man reminded the thin man, "the car is coming." ”
It's still the same corner, it's still the same sapphire blue race car, the fat man and the thin man don't blink their eyes, staring at the car that seems to have magic power, and this time they must see the brakes and cornering movements of that car clearly.
To tell the truth, connoisseurs like fat and thin people can naturally see that in the World Superbike Championship, where there are endless masters, this rider's cornering action is still a little immature, and the details of some actions are not very well handled, and it can be seen that the driver has not been in contact with the car for too long, but it is still the same as last time, this driver still stepped on the brake at the last braking point, and the car roared past the two.
"Same position as last brake point?!" The fat man felt incredible, "Could it be that after running for so long, after continuously applying the brakes, his brakes have not yet shown thermal decay?" ”
"Indeed," the thin man nodded, "I also find it a little strange that under normal circumstances, the braking distance should be slightly longer than the last time." ”
The two glanced at each other, both shook their heads, they couldn't figure out what was going on, both of them were old fritters who had been in the racing field for many years, but they had never heard of any brake manufacturer with such excellent braking performance.
"Look!" The thin man seemed to have discovered something, pointing his finger at the sapphire blue racing car that was driving again, and his voice was sharp and urgent, as if he had made some major discovery, "His brakes!" ”
"How is that possible?!" Until the car had passed, the two of them muttered to themselves in disbelief.
What I saw just now, the brake pads of that car had been burned a dazzling red color by the high temperature caused by the violent friction at the moment when they were stepped on just now, but the brake point of that car was still at the same position where the brake was last time! What the fuck! The brake discs have been heated to such an extent that the brakes of this car have not yet shown thermal decay?! You know, even if the major brake manufacturers specially developed a special braking system for their own sponsored teams, in this case, due to the violent friction, the thermal attenuation of the brake performance will be reduced from 0.4 to about 0.5, or even a little more, the braking distance is at least ten meters more than the original, the car in the brake disc are burned red in the case of the most helpless thermal attenuation effect for the racer?
"Perhaps," said the fat man, turning his head to the thin man, "we have discovered a remarkable new achievement?" ”
"I agree," the thin man nodded, as if asking for the fat man's opinion, as if to say to himself, "maybe our company needs to make some adjustments to the team's sponsorship program?" ”
The two decided to observe again, if what happened just now was not accidental, then they really found a new opportunity, maybe from now on the two of them will no longer have to collect data in this noisy arena, and can sit comfortably in the air-conditioned office and drink coffee?
Zhang Lan and his family did not enter the team's pit station, for fear that they would cause unnecessary pressure on the team after they entered, until the end of the entire qualifying race, they went in to inquire about today's qualifying race.
"Tomorrow's official race, Liu is the seventh on the grid," Michelle said excitedly, "Zhao is the ninth on the grid, and the qualifying results achieved by the two of them are the best results of our team since the competition, and it is likely that our team will get the first points in the team's history without our team in this race." ”
"Then I really want to congratulate everyone," Alice smiled, "It is your hard work that will make the team achieve today's achievements, and everyone cheers for tomorrow's race!" ”
At the same time, the fat man made a phone call, "David? I'm John, yes, I'm in Spain right now, God, you can't believe what I see here, as an old friend, I highly recommend you to come and see for yourself, it's very close from Italy to Spain, what, I lied to you? No, no, no, believe me, what you see this time will definitely surprise you, originally I didn't feel anything special about this game, but now it's different. What, tell you, oh forget it, tell you in time that you won't believe it either, or you will see for yourself to find out how amazing some of the things that are happening here! ”
"What the hell is this guy going on?" Italy, Ferrari Racing Department, David muttered and hung up the phone, "It's hard to imagine, it's just an SBK race, what big deal can happen?" ”
But Fat John's words lingered in David's ears, and others may have David still hesitated, but what Fat John said, David did not have any doubts. This guy never lies, David knows very well that the fat man is a very strict person, and the companies on both sides have been cooperating for so long, as long as he says it, there has never been a mistake!
"Jenny," David picked up the phone, "help me book a plane ticket to Spain, for the fastest flight today, yes, I'm going right away!" (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please log in to the www.qidian.com, more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!) )
