244 Conquer the track
Although the gear ratio of the Renault racing gearbox can also achieve the effect of breaking 100 in first gear, no driver will wait until it breaks 100 and then upshifts when it is really racing on the track.
Because of the gear ratio, if you don't upshift, the acceleration will be slower the more you go to the back, and eventually the engine speed will soar, and the vehicle will just roar away.
Therefore, under normal circumstances, after Zhang Yifei starts with a Renault car, the speed will rise to 2nd gear at about 70~80km/h, and then rise to 3rd gear at about 130km/h.
Normally passing through the Adelaide Corner, the standard for Renault racing cars is 80km/h in 1st gear. In the previous test run on the track, Kossel gave the standard of 90km/h cornering in second gear.
As a result, it was at this corner that Zhang Yifei's car rushed out of control because of its excessive speed.
Fortunately, thanks to the flat terrain of the Manikul circuit and Zhang Yifei's very fast sudden braking to slow down the speed, neither the person nor the car suffered any damage.
If Kossell wants to save time in a gear change and go straight into second gear, he will have to maintain a speed of around 80 to 90 km/h.
Even if it is as required before, at a speed of 90km/h in 2nd gear, there should be no problem for Zhang Yifei now, at least such a thing as rushing out of the track will not happen again.
But now Kossell is asking for a speed of 100 km/h, which is different from the previous high-speed corners, and low-speed slow corners are not to mention increasing the speed of 10 km/h, even if it is an increase in speed of 1 km/h, there is a chance to rush out of the corner.
And what's even more amazing is that the average speed of the F1 race at the Manikul Circuit is 96km/h, and now Kossell wants to use the standard speed that exceeds the average speed of F1 to cross the corner, is this really what Zhang Yifei can do at present?
Will the scene that rushed off the track before be staged again?
Hearing this instruction from Cosell, the entire pit team members were in a solemn and worried mood.
They have all experienced the scene of Zhang Yifei rushing out of the track before the test run, and they know that the previous limit was 90km/h. Now the crazy promotion again can no longer be described as a challenge, but a gamble on luck.
If Zhang Yifei can conquer the Adelaide Turn with this speed, then he will be the undisputed king of the Manicour circuit. With this speed out of the corner, he can throw Dixon out of 10 meters.
Coupled with the previous ten-meter gap, Dixon will have no way to eat Zhang Yifei's wake at all, as long as Zhang Yifei does not make any mistakes, even if he maintains the previous level and no longer does these extreme challenges, it is impossible for Dixon to catch up.
After all, in every previous corner, Zhang Yifei was actually faster than Dixon, but Dixon occupied the acceleration advantage of the rear car, so he was not thrown away.
Zhang Yifei on the track happened to be on the long straight, and when he heard Koser's command, he had a rare hesitation in his heart.
Because he knows what the cornering speed of 100km/h represents, to be honest, Zhang Yifei tried to run and qualify before, and the fastest was 90km/h. And he had already gone out of the track once, and he was not sure that he would be able to turn the corner at 100km/h.
Under the speed of a formula car, the long straight road only takes a few seconds to pass, and there is no time for Zhang Yifei to hesitate too much.
Or choose to follow Cosell's instructions to exceed the speed limit, and trade high risk for high reward. Or go the safe way and turn at 90km/h, which is honestly not too slow.
Zhang Yifei glanced at the rearview mirror at this time, and Dixon's car was chasing after him frantically. The more it gets to this moment, the more Dixon doesn't want to give up, as long as he overtakes Zhang Yifei, the victory will be in his hands.
Damn, fight!
Zhang Yifei cursed in his heart, and then according to Koser's instructions, he directly tangent to the left and drove the car on the shoulder.
If you want to turn at a speed of 100 km/h, you have to borrow the tangential shoulder, otherwise this speed is not only beyond the limits of the track, but even beyond the limits of physics!
Zhang Yifei's extraordinary behavior was also captured by the track camera. Because the Adelaide Bend is the riskiest corner at Manikul, it also means that drivers will be pushing their limits here.
"Flying on the track against the Adelaide Corner, he chose to ride on the shoulder of the road before entering the corner, and the implication behind this move is obvious, that is, he intends to challenge the Adelaide Turn in a way that is extreme to cut corners."
"Let's be honest, there have been countless riders in Adelaide Bend over the years who want to take corners in extreme ways, but only a handful have succeeded, will Flying be the next one to succeed?"
Red asked the question, but no one knew the answer, not even Kossel in the pits, at this time he was locked on the ring screen, and there was no bottom in his heart.
There is never a challenge that is destined to succeed, and if it is, it does not deserve to be called a challenge.
Korsell gave Zhang Yifei one, which can be called an impossible speed. If he passes, Dixon will be completely thrown away and the victory will be sealed.
If it hadn't passed, Zhang Yifei would most likely not be able to save the car from losing control at this speed, and maybe he would have gone from the leading position to not even being able to climb the podium.
The most serious situation is that the car stalls, then Zhang Yifei will retire directly, and everything will start from scratch.
Are you setting your goals too high?
Korsell asked rhetorically in his heart, different from his external performance, he recognized and appreciated Zhang Yifei's strength in his heart, so he asked him to challenge again and again.
But this time, Korsell himself began to wonder if Zhang Yifei could do such a speed to corner?
"Sure enough, Fei is planning to conquer the Adelaide corner, and now he is very fast, according to the track tester, he is estimated to enter the corner at about 100km/h."
"At 100km/h, which is faster than the average speed of an F1 car, I can't believe that Fei is going to challenge the Adelaide corner with this speed, has he really gone from self-confidence to arrogance and thinks he can conquer all corners?"
At this time, the event commentator Red felt a kind of dissatisfaction and regret in his heart.
He can be said to have witnessed Zhang Yifei's growth, and recognized Zhang Yifei's strength and potential from the bottom of his heart.
But now Zhang Yifei's move is undoubtedly reckless and risky, and normal drivers will not choose to challenge the Adelaide Turn so much under the advantage of the situation.
But Zhang Yifei did this, so it can only show one thing, that is, success after success has blinded Zhang Yifei's eyes and reason, making the young driver begin to swell, thinking that he can conquer everything.
"Heh, the Chinese guy is really arrogant after winning a few games, does he really think he can conquer Adelaide Bend?"
"100km/h, even F1 drivers don't dare to say that they have been stable, and now the Chinese kid hasn't even signed the F1 driver contract, so he treats himself as an F1 driver?"
"Wait and see, this corner is the end of the race!"
All sorts of cynicism began to emerge, after all, Zhang Yifei is now a controversial figure, and supporters see him as the only hope for Asian drivers, and they can't worship him.
The opponents are even more eager for Zhang Yifei to immediately go back to China, so that he can understand that European drivers are the strongest people in the world.
Therefore, Zhang Yifei's public opinion trend really implements the essence of the Internet in later generations.
"Fly, come on!"
"Zhang Yifei, prove it to them with this corner!"
"I believe in you, Yifei, come on!"
The same cheering voices come and go, although many supporters also know in their hearts that Zhang Yifei's overly risky move has a very low chance of success.
But dreams always have to be there, what if a fly really passes?
And then again, Zhang Yifei can stand on the Manikul circuit today and go to the extreme to challenge the corners for the agreement of the F1 drivers, which in itself is not a miracle of dreams?
Rushing into the corner at a speed close to 200 km/h, Zhang Yifei began to brake continuously, allowing the car to drop to 100 km/h when it passed through the center of the corner.
In an emergency, ordinary civilian vehicles can stabilize the steering wheel and step on the brakes to death. However, unless the formula car is out of control of the track, it must not press on the brakes under any circumstances, causing the tires to lock.
It's like a sudden braking on the road and a tire locking up will create a black brake mark. If the tires of a formula car are locked, the side that touches the ground will instantly smooth the tires.
Even if you continue to run without a puncture, the smoothed area will become a time bomb, and you will have to go back to the pits to change the tire.
Therefore, Zhang Yifei must control the braking speed very accurately to avoid excessive wear on one side of the tire, and must ensure the balance of the wear of the entire tire wall.
Precise braking is only the first step, and the impact of inertia makes steering wheel very difficult. The consequence of understeer is to push the head, and once the formula car pushes the head, it is to rush off the track without any suspense.
In order to avoid this situation, Zhang Yifei could only take two steering wheels to force a turn under very extreme circumstances.
The huge inertial impact made Zhang Yifei feel that his car was moving sideways, the grip of the tires had reached the limit, and the two steering wheels were a little uncontrollable.
Faced with this situation, Zhang Yifei had no choice but to make a corner in advance when he was close to the APEX point!
I saw that at this time, Zhang Yifei stepped on the accelerator, and the rear wheels transmitted the power of the engine, and began to slip wildly, and a white smoke from burning tires came out.
What Zhang Yifei has to do now is to use the powerful power of Renault racing cars to replace the steering wheel power with the speed difference between the rear wheel and the front wheel to solve the push caused by understeer.
But the premise of this success is that the rear wheels have a strong grip, and if it slips, then all the operations become meaningless. Even because the throttle is too big, it will change from pushing the head at the beginning to flicking the tail.
When the signs of slippage and tire burn appeared, Kossel in the pit station subconsciously clenched his fists, if he skidded and rushed over, everything would end at Adelaide Bend, and all the hopes of success were placed on Zhang Yifei's shocking control!
