With one foot on the accelerator, the speed of the Renault car increased again, and Zhang Yifei not only had to pay attention to the track situation at the moment, but also always pay attention to the speed of the engine, so as to achieve a perfect match with the speed of the car.

In order not to put too much pressure on the synchronizer, the speed difference must be kept within 1,000 revolutions, and the maximum error range cannot exceed 2,000 revolutions.

Don't think that's a big range, for a 10,000-rpm engine, 1,000 rpm is equivalent to the 200-rpm accuracy of an ordinary civilian engine. Because most Chinese driving schools teach the habit of shifting gears at about 2,000 rpm, and some even start upshifting at 1,500 rpm in order to save fuel.

Many people have been driving for several years without experiencing what it is like to step on the red zone with an engine. And the higher the speed, the more difficult it is to stabilize, and the difficulty of controlling from 4,000 rpm to 3,500 rpm is far greater than controlling from 2,000 rpm to 1,500 rpm.

And Zhang Yifei's goal to challenge this time is ten thousand turns!

Fuel replenishment, gear shifting, speed adjustment, gear shifting, Zhang Yifei is like a precision machine, controlling the engine speed in the precise range.

At this moment, on the ring screen in the pit station, the lap speed displayed finally stopped declining, and there was a slight rebound, but there was still a big gap between this and the fastest lap of Zhang Yifei's test run.

"Mentor, Yi Feijun's control of the speed is really accurate, it seems that it has something to do with his participation in some underground competitions in China."

Yamamoto Youjing also learned from Ah Hu's mouth that Zhang Yifei also had the title of Seven Star Mountain Bike God, and knew that when he was on Hong Kong Island and in China, he participated in some underground events, so he would have such rich experience in manual transmission.

Otherwise, it is difficult for the average junior formula driver to control the revs so accurately because of his age and limited contact range.

"No, underground riders can't do that kind of control, it's the result of professional training."

Cowsell could see at a glance that Zhang Yifei was not the habit of underground drivers, you must know that although underground drivers also have rich experience in manual transmission, because shifting gears needs to be very sensitive to speed.

But the biggest flaw of underground riders is that there is no systematic planning and training, and many things are random and unstable.

Don't think it's all about driving, the boring and boring training of professional athletes is far more than the hobby of underground drivers.

All Zhang Yifei's precision, which can be called replacing machinery with manual work, can only be achieved by professional drivers.

"It seems that it has something to do with Fei's former coach Lu Ningping, and I heard that he is the king of rally racing in China."

"Hmm."

Korcel doesn't know who Lu Ningping is, but with Zhang Yifei's current age, being able to do this must have something to do with his career, and it seems that this is the case.

Zhang Yifei has already accelerated on the track, but there is no exaggerated effect on the first lap, after all, the birth of the sequential gearbox is to help the driver concentrate on the track, rather than distracting from the control gear.

And in the case of a synchronizer, Zhang Yifei can change gears arbitrarily in the face of a huge speed difference, even if it is a difference of four or five thousand rpm, the gearbox can be strongly promoted, which can be regarded as saving shift time in a sense.

"1:43.326"

"1:43.175"

"1:43.112"

Zhang Yifei in the remaining laps, extremely difficult to improve his lap time, when the last lap is over, Zhang Yifei's fastest lap is fixed at 1:42.998!

That's 1:42.997 from the track record, which is really only a thousandth of a second!

"Yifei-kun, he really tried his best."

Seeing this number, Yamamoto Youkyo breathed a sigh of relief, he had already prepared for the worst to retire, but he didn't expect Zhang Yifei to be able to achieve a lap time that can be called a tie track record.

"This kid is doing well."

Korcel gave a rare compliment, in fact, Zhang Yifei was already perfect.

"Cosell, what's the final lap time?"

Zhang Yifei has slowed down to start the tour, ready to wait for the pole position to be announced by the event command center before returning to the pits.

Although Zhang Yifei has obvious in his heart that his lap time should have little to do with the pole position, he still wants to know what kind of way he can achieve to save his limits.

"1:42.998, that's good."

"WOW, you're still saying yes?"

Zhang Yifei asked in surprise, Kossel, an old German man, is this a compliment to himself?

It's just that when Zhang Yifei finished saying this, there was no Cossel's voice in the headset, and it was obvious that the old German man didn't want to deal with it.

It was at this time that the commentator Rader got the data transmitted from the event command center, with a lap time ranking on it.

"Ladies and gentlemen, there was a major speed change in today's qualifying, and the Chinese driver Fei, who had created a hat-trick in a row, did not get pole position this time, and did not even enter the top three."

"The pole position in Silverstone qualifying was Dixon, who had a championship and second duel with Fei in the last race, and he won the fastest lap at Silverstone with a time of 1:42.772!"

1:42.772, which is about 0.2 seconds faster than the track record, but it is not as good as the previous 0.3 seconds record of Zhang Yifei's test run.

However, this is a qualifying race, and to be able to run this result in the competition and interference undoubtedly represents the strength of Dixon, and he is worthy of being a super driver who won consecutive championships in the Indy event.

At this time, Dixon raised his arms and roared excitedly.

Originally, after the strength of the previous race, he was already planning to withdraw from Formula Europe and return to the Indy Series in the United States. As a result, Williams' post-game announcement gave him a fatal stab to his pride, but instead made him break and stand up, frantically trying to prove himself.

Now that he has gotten the pole position, he has surpassed Zhang Yifei, and he can finally express the shame of being a loser and the grievance of being despised in his heart, which is why he is so excited, and he can even see that his eyes are red.

In addition to Dixon, Makina was second, Kubica was third, and Suarez was fourth in qualifying, all of which surpassed the track record.

The reason why this kind of scene occurred has to be said that Zhang Yifei gave them great confidence.

It's like when you race with Usain Bolt, you don't have any hope in your heart, you feel that you can't beat him, and you don't have much fighting spirit at all.

As a result, I suddenly found that I could run faster than Usain Bolt, and the motivation brought by this sense of surprise, coupled with the strength of these drivers themselves, will not be F1 drivers or quasi-drivers in the future, and naturally burst out.

That's why playing with a stinky chess basket will get more and more stinky, and playing a high-level duel with a tough opponent will quickly improve yourself.

Of course, Zhang Yifei's dominance on the track is far less strong than that of Usain Bolt, but relatively speaking, the despair brought to other drivers in the last stop has a feeling of running with Bolt.

China's driver Fei was fifth with 1:42.998, just one millisecond away from the track record. That's a good speed, but with so many record-breaking laps today, it's not so impressive. ”

There was a hint of regret in Red's tone, Zhang Yifei's lap time today, if it weren't for the collective explosion of other drivers, it would have been possible to get pole position at other stations.

As a result, I didn't expect that so many track records were surpassed today, resulting in Zhang Yifei's lap time only ranking fifth.

This is a good result, but not the best.

The audience on the track heard that Zhang Yifei was only fifth, and many fans obviously had a lost expression on their faces.

Because in their hearts, Zhang Yifei is the strongest person at the Renault circuit, and he has won the F1 driver contract, which is far ahead of his competitors.

Therefore, Zhang Yifei got the pole position, and even won the championship again, which is a thing that should be done. As a result, I didn't expect that Zhang Yifei only got the fifth place.

Of course, many sane fans can also understand that this is a very normal thing, even if it is Senna and Schumacher, it is impossible to score a hat-trick at every stop. The fifth place in the qualifying round is already a very good result, and it still has a strong chance to win the championship.

It's just that this kind of achievement finally made Zhang Yifei's opponents on the scene completely excited.

"Isn't the Chinese kid arrogant to win the championship, why can't he even get the pole position?"

"F1 drivers qualify for fifth, so do you deserve to be in F1?"

"The Chinese, start savoring failure, you won't even feel failure in the future."

"With the strength of flying, entering the Prost team is also the fate of being cut."

Zhang Yifei had already turned on his helmet at this time and entered the exit passage close to the audience, so he could vaguely hear these mockery.

However, Zhang Yifei was not angry, but felt a little funny.

Are black fans so demanding these days? The fifth place in the qualifying round thinks it's spicy chicken, do they default to being the pole position?

This is not equivalent to admitting his own strength, and sure enough, geniuses are envied after all......

Just as Dixon was about to celebrate the pole position and Zhang Yifei was about to return to the pits, the commentator Red played a message again in a surprised tone.

"OH MY GOD, I JUST GOT A TEAM TONE FROM THE RACE COMMAND CENTER, AND IT'S ABOUT FLYING'S CONVERSATION WITH HIS RACE ENGINEER."

"It turned out that the Renault car that flew had a synchronizer failure on the fifth lap, but he did not choose to retire, but relied on the manual clutch shift, and finally the perfect clutchless shift, ran a lap time of 1:42.998, and won the fifth place in qualifying."

"I can't believe that a Renault driver can challenge the speed of the machine with manual control, but the driver has definitely done it, and his lap times have improved in the last few laps."

"I even doubt now that if the race continues, Zhang Yifei's lap time will improve, and whether he will be able to create a miracle lap time in the end."

When Red's words came out, the audience was simply dumbfounded, most of the people who could come to watch the junior formula were some senior fans, otherwise in order to follow the trend, they would also watch the F1 race.

So they all know what the failure of the racing gearbox means to the driver, could it be that Zhang Yifei actually ran the lap time of the same track record in the face of this kind of failure.

If it hadn't been for this glitch, how horrible would his lap time have been?
