142 Weirdness

Hank's qualifying lap time of 1:30.69 was also very fast, which was about the same as his previous best lap time, which meant that he had barely improved much in the past month.

However, there is not much urgency on Hank's face, because his own private top lap time has run under 1 minute and 30 seconds, which is his killer feature.

And except for Zhang Yifei, it is very difficult for other drivers to run within 1 minute and 32 seconds, and he never believed that Zhang Yifei had the strength of about 1 minute and 26 seconds, so Hank performed very easily.

As Hank expected, the next two drivers had not had good lap times, with a gap of about 5 seconds to him, and it was basically impossible to catch up in the race.

Soon came Zhang Yifei, who started in the 6th row, and everyone on the scene focused on him, because he is currently the record holder of the academy drivers, and his fastest speed has reached 1:27.33 in the latest speed test, which has pulled everyone away.

If it weren't for him to let Hank's news come out in three seconds, there would be no suspense in today's simulation game, and Zhang Yifei would have won the place.

But after three seconds, Zhang Yifei must run to about 1 minute and 26 in order to have a sure chance of winning. Don't look at the difference between the fastest speed of Zhang Yifei and the current speed is only more than one second, you must know that the further you go back, the more difficult it is to increase the lap speed, and more than one second is not something that can be broken through casually.

Zhang Yifei put on a full set of protective gear and sat in the car, as the indicator light turned on, he loosened the clutch and replenished the fuel like a mechanical action, and the engine speed broke 10,000 revolutions from the starting stage, and the starting reaction was also very fast, it can be seen that Zhang Yifei is more serious.

In the past two months on this track, Zhang Yifei has run countless laps, and it can be said that his familiarity has surpassed the track he had previously spent in the Wind Chasing Club. Usually drivers change four sets of tires a week, but Zhang Yifei changed ten sets of tires in the craziest week, so you can imagine the intensity of his practice.

To be honest, if it weren't for the Toyota team to provide training, the money for replacing tires alone would have been able to change Zhang Yifei to bankruptcy in these two months.

At that time, even the physical trainer in the team sighed that Zhang Yifei's physical fitness, which is extremely close to the level of F1 drivers.

The speed of the car began to increase, and the loose oil shifted gears, because there was no need to press the clutch, and basically the shift was completely dependent on the driver's grasp of the speed and speed control.

This is very similar to the manual transmission old drivers often boast of not stepping on the clutch to shift gears, in fact, as long as the speed can be perfectly matched with the speed, civilian manual transmission cars can also shift gears without stepping on the clutch. It's just that the risk is higher, and if the operation is not done well, there will be a risk of breaking the gearbox gear.

Therefore, this kind of operation is generally more on the god car Wuling Hongguang, because the gearbox is cheaper.

Of course, the sequential gearbox of the racing car is not so fragile, because it is not designed to step on the clutch to shift gears, but the frustration is more obvious than that of the civilian one.

Zhang Yifei's every corner is very precise, and these cornering features have been engraved in his mind like a map, so finding the best cornering route is not a problem for him at all.

After a lap of qualifying, Zhang Yifei's time was 1:29.11, which was not much different from Hanklakai, let alone three seconds. But everyone here knew that it was just qualifying, and the next lap race was the time to really witness the victory.

When Zhang Yifei's lap time came out, Hank even had a kind of smugness on his face, and he also said to the driver next to him: "This guy dares to say let me have three seconds, and let him understand my true strength later!" ”

The voice of this was very loud, Zhang Yifei glanced at him expressionlessly when he heard it, and felt Zhang Yifei's gaze, and Hankeben swallowed the words that he wanted to brag about.

Zhang Yifei's iron fist before had already caused him a great psychological shadow, this Chinese guy is not a character who is easy to bully, he will really beat people!

After Zhang Yifei finished running, the remaining runners also ran laps in turn, and one of the rookie riders had a brilliant result, running a lap time of 1:31.72.

You must know that they came a month later than Zhang Yifei and others, which means that the time to familiarize themselves with the track and vocational training is twice as long as theirs. A month ago, Zhang Yifei was just over a second faster than this rookie driver, and this kid is only 14 years old and has a lot of potential to tap.

"Now that the qualifying results have been determined, all the drivers will decide their starting order according to the qualifying results, and this time the quota race will last half an hour, and the fastest lap will be the winner!"

Junko Takeda announced the rules of victory, and did not safely set the kilometers as in a regular professional event, and only the first car to complete the race and have a positive number of laps would be considered the winner.

Instead, it is a relatively simple fastest lap method, which is also commonly used in club-wide competitions and youth team simulations, with the advantage of short times and a simple counting process.

After the rules were announced, all the drivers parked their cars on the track according to their qualifying positions.

Zhang Yifei, as the pole position driver who was the first in qualifying, was directly in the first position on the inside, and Hank was about a car behind and second on the outside.

At this time, Hank's eyes have always been locked on Zhang Yifei, and he has even prepared the most despicable means, that is, even if he collides with Zhang Yifei, he must slow down this kid.

The signal lights above the field began to light up in turn, and then the five lights went out in an instant, Zhang Yifei rushed out with one foot on the accelerator, this time his starting reaction was faster than in qualifying, and he did not give any chance to the cars behind him.

Hank's start was actually not slow, but compared to Zhang Yifei, he was pulled away by a one-meter gap at the start.

fuck! Hank cursed secretly, he knew that the Chinese guy in the qualifying match had a hand, but he didn't expect him to start so fast.

At this time, he stepped on the accelerator and tried his best to follow the car in front of him, Zhang Yifei, and at the same time seized the advantageous route and blocked the overtaking route of the car behind. After all, his opponent this time is not just Zhang Yifei, before killing the Chinese Yankees, he has to leave the other rookies far behind.

"Yi Feijun's start is very fast, faster than any of his previous track practice, how much strength do you say he has retained?"

Next to Junko Takeda is Toyota data analyst Ukyo Yamamoto, who usually trains drivers based on Yamamoto's statistics and track information, so compared to Junko Takeda, the team manager, Yamamoto Ukyo has a better understanding of the driver's training results.

"I don't know."

"I don't know Yamamoto, this is a dereliction of duty."

At this time, Yamamoto Youkyo replied with a wry smile on his face: "I record the track practice data of the drivers every day, but in the past month, I feel that Yifeijun's data is very abnormal." ”

"It's not normal, he's already breaking the record"

"No, his fastest lap was 1:27.33 on the track, you know that."

"Well, that's a fast result, but it's not enough to get rid of Hank by more than three seconds."

"That's right, just looking at the overall lap time, but I always had a feeling that Yifeijun's limit is more than that, so I started to monitor his lap time, but found that the lap time was stable and terrible, there were no mistakes, but it never broke through."

"Later, I looked at his lap time in segments and activated the speed detector for each corner, which finally cleared my mind!"
