Similarly, Yamamoto Ukyo watched the lap time change on the real screen, and the expression on his face was extremely shocked.

It is no exaggeration to say that in the case of this artificial clutch shift, the lap speed is a few tenths of a second slower, which is simply the starting number, and if the hands and feet are slower, the difference of a few seconds will come out.

After all, the number of gear changes in a junior formula may be close to 1,000, and if it is an F1 event, the average number of gear changes per event is as high as 2,500 times, and 3,500 times on a special track like Morocco.

So every time, even if it's just a thousandth of a second, a thousand times down is a difference of one second.

Zhang Yifei's current lap speed, the slowest lap is not 0.2 seconds away from when there is no fault, so you know how amazing Zhang Yifei's gear shift speed is.

Of course, most of the shifts are still based on the sequential gearbox itself. But Zhang Yifei also almost relied on the clutch to shift gears, taking over one-fifth of the number of gear shifts, which is really the limit.

The spectators on the track, after hearing Red say that Zhang Yifei was getting slower and slower, most of the supporters and his audience did not speak, but just looked at Zhang Yifei's No. 13 car nervously, hoping that he could recover the state of the previous two stops.

And those "oppositionists" who were suppressed by Zhang Yifei's strength finally found an opportunity to vent the hostility in their hearts at this time.

"The Chinese kid can't do it, this is his real strength!"

"If you win two races by luck, you really think you're the best Renault driver, and now it's starting to show your true form."

"Prost's old stubbornness, I don't know how much sponsorship he received from Chinese to let him enter the F1 team, which is really a shame for the French car world!"

"What about being an F1 driver, waiting to be eliminated!"

The shouting in the audience is getting louder and louder, and some people have even begun to whistle and boo to express their ridicule of Zhang Yifei.

You must know that while Zhang Yifei's fans have skyrocketed, the absolute number of people who oppose him has not decreased.

After all, Zhang Yifei competed on the European circuit as a Chinese driver, coupled with the tough image in the past, which deeply trampled on the inexplicable sense of superiority of some people.

It's just that competitive events focus on results, and Zhang Yifei's dazzling performance in the previous few stops, coupled with his dominant-level strength, made those who questioned him shut up.

Today finally appeared a breakthrough and opportunity, these unhappy people have been waiting for a long time, and they naturally can't let it go.

In the face of these ridicules, Zhang Yifei's supporters also began to sit still and launched counterattacks.

"Fei is the strongest Renault driver, if you want to deny this title, let other drivers surpass Fei's points first!"

"If the hat-tricks in two consecutive stops are based on luck, do you have the ability to let others show me good luck?"

"Zhang Yifei has set a record for entering F1, and he can also create a miracle in F1!"

"Zhang Yifei, come on, let them know that you are the strongest driver!"

"Rider fly, don't let me down."

The voices of supporters came and went, which made the debate in the audience more intense, and made the already very anxious qualifying match even more tense and intense.

The drivers on the track couldn't hear this, but Ah Hu, who didn't have headphones in the pits, could hear some whistles and boos outside.

There are not many people in the Renault event who can detonate the audience, there were Massa, Kubica, etc., but now only Zhang Yifei can do this.

There is no doubt that these whistles and boos can only be aimed at Zhang Yifei.

So hearing these voices, Ah Hu felt even more uncomfortable in his heart, it was his job to overhaul the car, but he didn't do it well, causing Fei Ge to be ridiculed by these people.

Seeing Ah Hu's uncomfortable appearance, He Ziling stood next to him and comforted: "Ah Hu, don't be discouraged, even Kossel, who was so strict just now, thought that Yifei could do it, don't you still believe him?" ”

"I believe in Phineas, but this ......"

As a maintenance technician, how could Ah Hu not know the difficulty of stepping on the clutch and shifting gears, it was precisely because he knew it very well that he felt that there was little hope.

"No, however, Yifei can do it."

He Ziling replied firmly, to be honest, she didn't know where her confidence came from.

In the face of such a firm He Ziling, Ah Hu no longer hesitated, and nodded heavily.

At the same time, Zhang Yifei's voice came from the team's intercom system.

"Cosell, what's my current lap time?"

"1:43.396."

"Is it faster or slower than before?"

"It's almost 0.2 seconds slower, and the race track record is 0.4 seconds slower."

When he heard this number, Zhang Yifei's brows furrowed, he had done his best to carry out clutch shifts, to ensure the speed of the car, and the synchronizer would not be further lost.

But the problem is that manual gear change still has a limit after all, and Zhang Yifei is not facing an ordinary automatic transmission, which is known as the sequential transmission with the highest shift efficiency.

At present, on the planet, the only thing that can surpass the sequential gearbox is the upgraded version of the F1 - the backlash gearbox. Otherwise, if it is an ordinary 4-speed or 6-speed automatic transmission, the efficiency is not as good as Zhang Yifei's manual.

At this lap time, Zhang Yifei estimated that it was probably around the fifth position, because the lap speed of qualifying is generally faster than that of the main race, even the F1 race is no exception.

Because there is not so much pressure in qualifying, and the competition is relatively smooth, which is conducive to play. What's more, qualifying allows for faster tyres and less fuel to lighten the car.

After all, just looking at the fastest lap speed, even if other lap times are as slow as a turtle, it is acceptable.

But now the problem is that Zhang Yifei feels that the other drivers are like chickens, frantically trying to improve their speed to get a better position.

Zhang Yifei didn't know if it had anything to do with him. However, whether it matters or not, this is not good news for Zhang Yifei, which means that his ranking will likely continue to decline.

As soon as you drop to around 10th place, the starting space will be at the bend of the track, and you will not be able to see the starting signal at the first time. This will have a big impact on the starting speed, enough to distance the first echelon from the drivers behind them.

And Zhang Yifei also knows that if he falls behind, it will be more difficult than others to surpass and catch up.

The scene of "encirclement and interception" at the Manikul Circuit is still vivid, and it is difficult to guarantee that similar things will not happen at Silverstone. Moreover, Silverstone's special buffer zone, overtaking with the help of the shoulder is a very risky thing, which will make it more difficult to overtake again.

"Cosell, how long is it until qualifying?"

"8 minutes and 16 seconds."

Hearing this number, Zhang Yifei calculated in his heart that there were probably five or six laps left in the race, and there was not much time left for him.

If he still follows the previous way and shifts gears by stepping on the clutch, Zhang Yifei will definitely not be able to break the lap time of 1:43.396, and it will be difficult to even maintain it.

Because just like mechanical wear, people also have fatigue, this extreme fast pedaling and quick shifting, Zhang Yifei has been operating nearly hundreds of times in a row.

Not to mention that it is an exaggeration to get cramps in your foot, but it is almost impossible to go faster than before. So Zhang Yifei can't go on in this way, he has to want another way.

"Kossel, in your experience, the gearbox has been stalling, what is the maximum rev differential range on the premise of avoiding further deterioration."

"Judging from the current gearbox loss, the maximum speed difference that can be accepted is within 2,000 rpm, and the safe value is within 1,000 rpm."

"What, are you going to shift gears without a clutch?"

Korsell directly guessed Zhang Yifei's thoughts, because there are not many options at present, and since Zhang Yifei asked, there is only one answer left, that is, clutchless shifting.

The so-called clutchless shift, as the name suggests, is that there is no need to step on the clutch shift, which first appeared in the civilian manual transmission, when people find that as long as the speed and speed are highly matched, even if they do not step on the clutch, they can directly push the gear lever into the gear, and will not damage the gearbox.

In fact, the sequential gearbox, that is, the principle of clutchless shifting, is just that the gearbox gear ratio is set densely, which makes the shift much more tolerant, and with the good driving skills of professional drivers, it can easily shift gears.

But now that the synchronizer is damaged, Zhang Yifei needs to switch gears completely in accordance with the way of civilian manual transmission, with very accurate speed matching.

The difference in difficulty is that the civil engine plays clutchless shifting, and the speed is only about 20 million, which is really not well coordinated, and the engine can be hard pushed down the gear.

Unless you play like this often, it will cause serious damage to the gearbox.

The race-level engine is a 10,000-rpm engine, if the gear and speed can not be matched very accurately, there is no synchronizer to help at such a high speed, relying on hard propulsion, the entire gearbox gear can be directly broken into slag.

What Zhang Yifei plans to do now is to match the speed and wheel speed by himself, and shift gears to push hard at critical times.

In the past, when the clutch was manually stepped on, the worst result was slow, but now when playing clutchless shifting, the entire gearbox is scrapped directly if it is not operated well, and then it is "paralyzed" on the track due to a failure.

However, Zhang Yifei has nothing to hesitate, anyway, as long as 75% of the total race is completed, even the lap time of the qualifying qualifying race will count.

More importantly, this gearbox must be replaced after the race, even if it is scrapped Zhang Yifei, it is not so painful, so he plans to challenge it.

"That's right, it's clutchless shifting, Kossel, it's time to show my true strength!"

After Zhang Yifei said this, he released the button of the intercom system and focused all his attention on the game.

He wants to use all his life's experience in today's qualifying race, and use a formula car to complete this extremely precise clutchless operation!
