027 Talented Drivers
Talented! This word popped up in Lu Ningping's mind, and he kept recalling what Zhang Zhiguo had said before, that is, he didn't brag that his son was very talented in racing.
Lu Ningping doesn't believe in Zhang Zhiguo, it's just that maybe everyone has different standards for defining talent, and they will always relax the standards for their relatives, maybe Zhang Yifei is really good, but there are too many young people with skills in this world, not everyone can become a professional driver, let alone the top one.
Looking at it now, I am afraid that this can no longer be described as talent, this is a genius-level driver, even if Lu Ningping has so many years of professional racing experience, he has never seen Zhang Yifei so young, with such an accurate judgment of the corner route, how did this happen?
Thinking about it, Lu Ningping couldn't think of a reasonable explanation, the only thing that could be as reasonable as possible was that Zhang Yifei estimated that the Qixing Mountain Road ran too much, and he was very familiar with every bend here. In fact, mountain racing is also a strong dragon that does not suppress the head of the snake, and suddenly enters a strange area, and you may not be able to run past Wuling Hongguang if you drive a good car.
Xie Tiancheng, standing on the observation platform on the top of the mountain, his eyes have always been locked on Zhang Yifei's Ford Mustang, if his judgment of Zhang Yifei was a master before, then the level of the bend just now, with Xie Tiancheng's eyes, it seems that it has reached the professional standard.
Without any tricky drift operation, the Ford Mustang used a precise route to the limit of the corner, and under the premise that the horsepower of the two cars was about one difference, a corner was directly recovered by five meters, and Xie Tiancheng could clearly feel that Zhang Yifei did not use all his strength.
As far as the pace of picking up the pace, Xie Tiancheng didn't believe that Zhang Yifei couldn't even catapult to start, the reason why he didn't do that was that this guy had absolute confidence that he could catch up with the backwardness in the initial stage. As it turned out, the distance between the two sides was narrowed by a quarter in the past only the first corner, and the subsequent curves of Qixing Mountain will be more and more urgent, and this is the real moment to decide the winner.
If this kind of cornering level is Zhang Yifei's normal strength, rather than some super-level performance, then Xie Tiancheng can't help but doubt whether Shen Dong can hold on to one-third of the schedule.
"I really didn't expect that there would be such a master in Qixing Mountain, and it will be interesting in the racing world in the future."
Xie Tiancheng muttered in his mouth, his heart is getting hotter and hotter, real masters will never be afraid of the strength of their opponents, only stronger opponents can highlight their own value, Zhang Yifei has been officially regarded as a strong enemy by Xie Tiancheng.
On the other hand, Shen Dong didn't have such a good attitude as Xie Tiancheng, he had already seen the Mustang getting closer from the rearview mirror, which was indescribable for his shock. You must know that the speed of the corner just now has basically reached the limit that Shen Dong thinks, not to mention the small Qixing Mountain, even if it is the top amateur driver in the whole of Guangzhou and Shenzhen, it will not be much better than himself.
But before the Ford Mustang was obviously in the starting and straight stages, he was pulled away by himself 20 meters, just after the first C-corner, the distance between the two cars has been narrowed to the range of 15 meters. In other words, just around the corner just now, I was chased by the high school student in the car behind me for five meters!
If it weren't for the fact in front of him, Shen Dong couldn't believe his eyes, five meters was almost a body distance, if it wasn't for the distance in front, this could have been overtaken. Is a high school student in a small Qixing Mountain so powerful? Could it be that he is really Lu Ningping's apprentice?
As soon as he thought of this, Shen Dong's face instantly became gloomy, that kid was willing to pay 50,000 yuan to find himself to come to this small place as a gun, if there was no master, then he would not have made this cost, it seems that he is still careless.
Shen Dong attributed the shortening of the distance to his own carelessness, it was impossible for him to admit that he had a gap in strength with Zhang Yifei, even if the other party was Lu Ningping's apprentice, the old man himself had passed, how strong could an apprentice be a high school student?
So Shen Dong stepped on the throttle again, and the explosive power of the GTR after the corner came up instantly, and the distance that had been shortened before was once again pulled apart. This scene is like Takumi Takumi's AE86 and Nakazato Yi GTR races, the crushing horsepower advantage is even more obvious in the straight line, and if you want to close the distance or even win, you can only find a way from the corner.
However, in addition to the long straight road at the beginning of the descent, the distance of Qixing Mountain behind is getting shorter and shorter, and soon Shen Dong's GTR enters a 90-degree right-angle corner, which is very steep, and it is almost impossible to pass the corner by driving directly over, so drifting is a necessary operation.
This time, Shen Dong was not careless, and focused all his attention on the right-angle bend in front of him, and he did not allow Zhang Yifei to close the distance again.
Before entering the corner, Shen Dong accelerated again, and after entering the corner, he aimed the front of the car at the apex of the corner, and then slammed the steering wheel vigorously, and braked downshift at the same time. When the front of the car was aligned with the curved road, and the rear of the car was rubbing the opposite guardrail, Shen Dong stepped down the throttle, and the previous downshift operation made the engine speed rise faster, and the abundant power was transmitted to the four wheels, and the whole car rushed out of the corner smoothly.
Because there was no deceleration before entering the corner, the turning speed of Shendong did not decrease much, and the GTR from the R32 generation onwards, are matched with full-time four-wheel drive, and the power ratio of the front and rear wheels is 2% of the front wheels and 98% of the rear wheels under normal conditions, which can basically be regarded as a rear-wheel drive car. However, once accelerating or cornering, the front wheels distribute power to 50% of the front and rear respectively, which is also known as the golden ratio of the car.
Such a full-time four-wheel drive can allow the GTR to maintain better grip in corners, which is why Shen Dong dares to accelerate before entering the corner, which is the confidence brought to him by the strong vehicle performance.
It's just that no car is perfect, and Shen Dong has changed the GTR's engine and turbocharging, which has made the weight of the front of the car further heavier while gaining strong power. The 90-degree bend was beautiful, but there was already a slight push, and the whole rear of the car slid into the opposite lane, which was not the best route into the corner.
Seeing this scene, a faint smile appeared on the corner of Zhang Yifei's mouth, and the expected thing really happened. At the same time, his hand movements were not slow, releasing the accelerator and lightly pressing the brake to lower from third gear to second gear, as a front-mounted rear-wheel drive Ford Mustang, Zhang Yifei planned to use a completely different drifting way to corner.
At this moment, Zhang Yifei drove the Mustang close to the right side of the mountain road, and cut the steering wheel according to the direction of the corner, and waited until the front of the car entered the bend directly with a foot of floor oil, and the engine speed pointer instantly reached the red light area, and the Mustang large-displacement V8 engine also burst out of its amazing power.
The rear wheels began to lose their grip on the ground because of the surge in horsepower, and the entire rear of the car quickly threw out, faster than Shen Dong's drift speed before. At the same time, Zhang Yifei cooperated with the steering through the throttle, accurately manipulating the Mustang out of the corner, and when the front of the car reached the moment of the corner, Zhang Yifei put the steering wheel right, and the whole car drove forward rapidly.
When Zhang Yifei's Ford Mustang came out of the corner, the distance between it and the previous car GTR had been shortened by less than ten meters, which sounds not short, but you must know that the length of a body is four or five meters, which is only less than the distance between two bodies. According to Zhang Yifei's catching speed, the next short straight front corner is likely to decide the winner.
