097 Violent cornering
"Which of you won that night?"
Brother K couldn't help but continue to ask this question, he had asked it many times before.
"Tie."
The answer is the same.
"Breaking the record or tiring?"
From beginning to end, Brother K didn't believe in the result of a tie, because there was also a "sudden death method" in the mountain road race, and with Ah Hui's character, it was impossible for him not to use this method, and he would never draw.
In the face of Brother K's inquiry, Wan Chai's car god showed a smiling expression on his face, and then he didn't reply again. Brother K has seen Zhou Yunhui's behavior many times, and what he doesn't want to say, it's useless for you to ask.
It is precisely because of the flaws in the character of the Wan Chai car god that he owes himself a favor to come to the Yuen Long team as a gun.
On the side of the mountain road, Xie Tiancheng glanced at the rearview mirror with his spare eyes, and the Mitsubishi EVO behind him was still closely following.
To be honest, the shock in Xie Tiancheng's heart at this moment is no less than Zhang Yifei, because Xie Tiancheng knows what strength he has in running the mountain road. To put it mildly, there is no street rider on the entire Hong Kong Island except for the Wan Chai car god, unless the opponent is a professional driver, or a professional driver who is more proficient in mountain trails.
Zhang Yifei behind him, but he bit himself, relying on his familiarity with the road section, Xie Tiancheng was about five meters longer than when he started. But the distance between cars is five meters, which is insignificant compared to the nine kilometers of mountain roads.
You must know that this is his home field, although Xie Tiancheng has returned to Hong Kong Island for more than half a year, but he has to run the Quanjin Highway every week, not to mention to the point that he knows it well, at least it is much better than Zhang Yifei, this is for sure.
The familiarity with the route can be said to be a great advantage, even if Zhang Yifei, as the rear car, can follow the curve trajectory to recover a little disadvantage, but after all, it is still not as familiar as his own. In this case, only five meters away is actually a failure for Xie Tiancheng.
Soon the two cars came to the first compound curve of the Tsuen Kam Highway, the so-called compound curve has many meanings, but the most basic feature is that the two curves are very close to each other, basically the first curve out of the corner, almost into the second curve.
Therefore, when entering the first corner, it is equivalent to thinking about the entry and exit routes of the second corner, otherwise it will slow down the speed of the car when it comes to making a choice when it comes out of the corner.
Compound corners are all about being done in one go, and the driver's handling and experience are very demanding, and the slightest mistake will give the car behind a chance to overtake. Therefore, these two composite curves of Tsuen Kam Highway have always been the main overtaking points.
Xie Tiancheng's Nissan 300ZX, before entering the first corner, starts to brake, chooses a tangential way to enter the corner, and then drifts when entering the second corner, which has the advantage of reducing the drift time and avoiding excessive loss of vehicle power.
Zhang Yifei ran the Quanjin Highway to remember the route before, and he basically didn't remember those small curves, and he couldn't remember them. The main focus is on the compound curves and hairpin bends, compared with the countless small bends along the way, the memory difficulty of two compound bends and a triple hairpin bend is obviously much smaller.
In this compound corner, Zhang Yifei also repeated the turn back and forth dozens of times, just to find the best cornering route. However, this way of passing the corner, which is only a part of the route, is still a little different from the speed of the real race, and can only be regarded as a reluctant simulation.
Xie Tiancheng's cornering method, Zhang Yifei has also tried it before, and it is the safest and most conventional cornering method.
If you follow the previous running method, Zhang Yifei and Xie Tiancheng can turn the same corner, and with Zhang Yifei's current driving skills, he can basically achieve the same speed as Xie Tiancheng. But the problem is that he is now behind Xie Tiancheng, even if he runs to the finish line like this, it is nothing more than changing positions and doing it again.
To be honest, if he really runs for the second time, Zhang Yifei may not be able to guarantee that he will win Xie Tiancheng, after all, there are still some gaps between the current driving skills and the previous life, and the vocational training has just recovered for a long time.
More importantly, Xie Tiancheng can be said to be a professional mountain road driver, and in his previous life, he was more about running the field and rally, and there is still a slight difference from the mountain road, which is not his strongest project.
If you want to win Xie Tiancheng, the conventional method will definitely not work, then you can only choose the sword to go sideways!
Zhang Yifei did not choose to cut the corner, but downshifted when entering the corner, and directly increased the throttle to enter the corner at high speed. Hearing the sudden increase in the sound of the engine behind him, Xie Tiancheng didn't need to look to know that Zhang Yifei must have stepped on the accelerator to accelerate.
But the problem is that this is a curve, and if the speed is too fast, it is very likely that you will not be able to control your head, Zhang Yifei's mentality of wanting to win can be understood, but according to Xie Tiancheng's understanding of Zhang Yifei, he is not the kind of person who impulsively does not consider the consequences in order to win, what does this want to do?
The answer soon came out, Zhang Yifei directly used the high horsepower of Mitsubishi EVO to start flicking the tail at the tangent line of the corner, and at the same time constantly clicked the throttle after entering the corner, so that the vehicle could drift while maintaining a certain amount of power, rather than relying entirely on inertia.
At this time, the steering wheel is basically unable to move, because the slightest mistake can cause the vehicle to lose control. The steering of the whole car completely depends on the throttle to control the speed of the rear wheels, the heavier the throttle, the more angle of the steering, and vice versa.
Xie Tiancheng has reached the outside line by cutting the corner, which is also the limit of the turning of the corner, and has continued to drive hard, so Xie Tiancheng began to step on the brakes and pass the second corner in combination with drifting.
But just as his car began to slide, he felt the lights behind him getting closer and closer, and even reached the rear of his car!
How can it be! Xie Tiancheng's mind was full of disbelief, Zhang Yifei's way of cornering was too violent, he relied on the throttle to control the steering, shortened the distance in the corner, and even planned to overtake!
In the face of this situation, Xie Tiancheng also came up, the desire for victory is the most basic pursuit of a driver, and he does not allow himself to fail easily.
I saw Xie Tiancheng's 300ZX, after sliding on the drift side for a while, he immediately stepped on the accelerator and went out of the corner. At this time, he was basically close to the center of the bend, barely reaching the stage where he could refuel out of the corner, although the bending trajectory eventually became a little weird, but he still blocked Zhang Yifei's Mitsubishi EVO.
"A shocking scene! Just now, Zhang Yifei's Mitsubishi EVO used the power drift method to directly use the throttle to control the steering at high speed through the compound corner, and greatly shortened the distance with Xie Tiancheng's Nissan 300ZX. Recently, in the center of the corner, the front of the EVO has been side-by-side with the rear of the 300ZX! ”
"But it's a pity that Xie Tiancheng reached the bend point at the last moment, and then went out of the corner at full throttle, blocking Zhang Yifei's Mitsubishi EVO."
"That scene was really exciting, and it was probably one of the fastest cornering ways to get through the mountain race on Hong Kong Island in recent years. Zhang Yifei is worthy of being the god of the seven-star mountain bike, and his strength on the mountain road is outstanding! ”
The curve observation point used an excited and regretful tone to convey everything that had just happened to the parking spot, and if it was able to overtake just now, this may be the most classic overtaking picture of the year on Hong Kong Island. It's just a pity that Zhang Yifei is still a little bit behind, or Xie Tiancheng kept it!
