Kossel is a veteran of formula racing, and car breakdowns are not worth mentioning for him.

Now that it has happened, the previous questions can be brushed aside. Now the question is how to fix the car and prevent it from happening again.

After all, the gearbox synchronizer problem this time, the consequences are not particularly serious, even if Zhang Yifei is directly withdrawn, his previous lap time can be stable into the top 20, and it is no problem to continue to participate in tomorrow's race.

But if there is still a car failure in the race tomorrow, then the result is not easy to say.

In the face of Koser's question, Ah Hu's face did not have the snot and tears on his face at all, he knew that Koser's strictness needed a direct and accurate answer!

It's just that at this time, Ah Hu has no bottom in his heart, and the fault of the gearbox synchronizer has not been figured out, so he has to promise to solve all the problems within one day, and he really doesn't have this confidence.

Ah Hu didn't answer, but Chen Zhi next to him spoke: "It's no problem in one day, we can do it." ”

Chen Zhi is the eldest brother of the three, and at this time he has to come forward to shoulder the responsibility, and he has no choice.

After all, with the withdrawal of Toyota's technical team, Renault refused to provide technical support, there was no outside force to help, and all problems could only be solved by themselves, no matter whether they could do it or not, there was no way back!

"Good."

Corer nodded, he actually understood in his heart that a day was a great challenge and pressure for Ah Hu and Chen Zhi.

But tomorrow is the race time, and the car problem must be solved in one day, which is also non-negotiable.

"Youjing, you still stay to help Ah Hu and them, as long as all the racing parts are found to be problematic, try to replace them as much as possible to save time."

At this stage, the rules of formula racing do not allow overnight maintenance, so Ah Hu and they must leave before the track closes.

If you don't finish the post-race maintenance today, you can only come back tomorrow morning, but there may not be enough time by then.

It is important to know that replacing the gearbox is a big project, not only to replace a part, but also to complete the matching with the power of the racing car and the adjustment of the gear ratio.

That's why Ah Hu and Chen Zhi feel a lot of pressure. If you just change the gearbox like a civilian car, with their speed and technology, it can be done in half a day at the earliest.

But the gearbox replacement of the equation is not so simple, it is a high-tech job. All previous transmission tuning was done by Toyota's technical team, and this time it will be entirely on their own.

And the post-race inspection is not just about replacing the gearbox, there may be other problems found during the inspection. This time, the time is urgent, and it is impossible to slowly determine the cause and then repair, as long as the problem parts are found, it is faster to replace them directly.

"Mentor, I understand."

Yamamoto Ukyo confirmed a sentence, he naturally knew what Korsell was trying to express, that is, "only change but not repair".

One is to save time, and the other is that the component structure of the formula car is too precise, and it is difficult to restore the original performance of maintenance.

What's more, in order to save money, I found that there was a small problem with the gearbox, and I didn't think about replacing it, which eventually led to the failure on the track today.

Zhang Yifei's future itinerary has actually been planned, if there is no way to win the championship at Silverstone due to a car failure, then all plans will be disrupted, and it may even affect Zhang Yifei's F1 training.

In order to avoid this from happening, you must not save the money you should spend!

After Korcel gave the order, Ah Hu and several people immediately began to act, they disassembled the Renault car very quickly, and the movements in their hands were very smooth, without the slightest rustiness and mud and water.

In fact, during this period of time, Ah Hu and they have not been lazy, and they have already been familiar with the structure of formula cars. Dismantling and replacing parts like this is no slower than the professional technicians of those teams.

The main reason for the accidents that occur today is that the engine and gearbox of the formula car are too high-tech, surpassing Ah Hu's level of education too much, resulting in their lack of energy.

may have had such an experience, and it is also a learning and transformation process for Ah Hu.

The pit station entered the post-race maintenance stage, which was a matter for the technician team, so Korcel did not continue to stay in the pit pit, but took Zhang Yifei back to the hotel first to give him plenty of post-race rest.

After all, whether Zhang Yifei is changing the clutch shift today, or challenging the more difficult clutchless shift later, it is a double challenge for physical fitness and spirit.

Tomorrow's race is the real finale, the fifth starting position, if you want to surpass your opponent to win the championship, there is still a big challenge, Zhang Yifei must maintain the most perfect state to cope with tomorrow's race.

On the other hand, the detailed process of his track failure was also disclosed to the media by the Renault Circuit Center.

When Zhang Yifei's various control methods of using manpower to challenge mechanical applications were exposed, it instantly caused a lot of sensation in the racing circle.

The more you know about racing, the more you know the difficulty of Zhang Yifei's operations, which is simply impossible for a junior Renault driver.

If it was controversial that the two teams of Williams and Prost had taken a fancy to Zhang Yifei at the same time, then Zhang Yifei's strong control was exposed, directly revealing the characteristics of a talented driver.

There are even some people who sigh as an afterthought, sure enough, Jiang is still old and spicy, Prost and Williams' vision is really accurate, which can find Zhang Yifei's potential!

Of course, there are still doubts in this, and many people still don't believe that Zhang Yifei can make these manipulations on the track.

There is even a bold speculation in the media that Zhang Yifei's car did not have a gear failure, and the synchronizer is still working, maybe just a little problem occurred, and then it was exaggerated.

As soon as this point of view came out, there were many supporters in an instant, and even some skeptical or neutral fans felt that this explanation was more reasonable.

After all, for a junior Formula driver, it would be a little too amazing to actually make these maneuvers. This requires a very deep understanding of the car and a long period of experience in gear manipulation, otherwise you wouldn't be able to do that.

Judging from these two requirements, it is difficult for Zhang Yifei to meet any of them. He doesn't have a lot of go-kart racing experience and hasn't been in Formula Racing for a long time, so how can he have an in-depth understanding of the principles of racing engineering?

Even if Zhang Yifei's talent is different from ordinary people, the other drivers are not mediocre qualifications, otherwise they would not be able to go to the Renault European Cup, how strong can Zhang Yifei be?

In particular, some fans of the "central theory" of European racing do not admit that Asian drivers like Zhang Yifei can surpass European drivers in talent, otherwise their sense of superiority will be shattered!

The second point is long-term gear control experience, judging from Zhang Yifei's event resume, this is more unreliable than talent. A minor little guy, to the death is to play on the street, where is this top-notch gear speed with strength?

Even a rally driver said that in order to achieve Zhang Yifei's perfect matching speed without clutch shifting, at least three years of manual transmission professional training experience must be required, otherwise it is impossible to do it!

Therefore, Zhang Yifei's manipulation has become an "unsolved mystery", which has aroused heated discussions and speculations in the car world.

However, this has improved Zhang Yifei's fame in Europe, if his influence was only limited to the formula racing circle before, then now Zhang Yifei can be said to be "out of the circle".

Track races, rallys, and even street racing began to discuss Zhang Yifei's handling skills. Supporters and opponents, suspicion and recognition are simply full of saliva, according to this trend, if Zhang Yifei's name can completely get out of the racing circle one day, then he may become a sports star.

Of course, Zhang Yifei has little interest in paying attention to these war of words, and the same is true for the team members. After all, the problems in front of us have not been solved, so how can we still have the energy to pay attention to these.

It was close to eleven o'clock in the evening, and a few people from Yamamoto Ukyo returned to the hotel from the Silverstone Circuit. At this moment, several people were covered in oil, and there was a tired expression on their faces.

Zhang Yifei went to bed early today because he was going to prepare for the game tomorrow.

Korsell and Junko Takeda were waiting in the lobby of the hotel, and when they saw Ah Hu and a few of them coming back, they leaned over and asked, "How is it, has the gearbox of the racing car been replaced?" ”

Faced with Junko Takeda's inquiry, Yamamoto Ukyo shook his head and replied: "The gearbox has been replaced, but the tuning of the gear ratio is still lacking, and there are many problems with the gear engagement between gears. ”

Hearing this, Junko Takeda frowned, knowing that it is not difficult to replace the gearbox, because the name of formula car determines the nature, all the components are within the specified range, and the disassembly structure is also standardized.

The real difficulty is the setting of the gear ratio, which is like the chassis of the family car in later generations, and the structure is similar to everyone. The front is all MacPherson suspension, and the rear is a torsion beam non-independent suspension, or a multi-link independent suspension.

But the same structure, the feeling of turf tuning is really different, why some cars drive very stable, some cars are very "scattered", people have no confidence at all, the problem lies in the chassis tuning.

The same is true for gearboxes, which is the most basic and simple way, and the real difficulty is the adjustment of the gear ratio, which requires a chief technician or a power engineer to have profound tuning skills.

Obviously, whether it is Ah Hu and Chen Zhi, or Yamamoto Ukyo, they don't have it.

Difficult Korser knew that he only wanted to hear the exact answer, so he asked simply and rudely: "I have to make sure of one thing now, and that is whether you can get the gearbox problem done tomorrow before the game starts." ”

Facing the mentor's questioning, Yamamoto Youkyo and Ah Hu glanced at each other, then gritted their teeth and replied: "Yes, before the main competition tomorrow, we will solve all the problems!" ”
