It's too strong, this is the only thought in Zhou Yunhui's heart now, if he doesn't drive this track version of Opel Astra, then the leading one now may be Zhang Yifei!

Under the premise that there is a gap in vehicle performance, it is a possibility that it is not thrown off in the corner. That is Zhang Yifei's cornering route, which is more perfect than himself.

This next week, Yunhui will start to get serious, even if the win or loss of this game is not important, but if Zhang Yifei really drove a Mercedes-Benz S55 and won his own track version of Opel Astra, he really can't afford to lose this person.

Zhou Yunhui began to accelerate wildly, Zhang Yifei followed, as soon as he got on the track, the excitement brought by that speed was filled with every drop of Zhang Yifei's blood.

Coupled with the complex road conditions of the New North Circuit, the more dangerous it is, the more Zhang Yifei wants to challenge.

This time, not only Zhang Yifei and Zhou Yunhui were at the New North Circuit, but also many other test drivers and racing enthusiasts, who were also racing on the road.

But the speed of these people is far less than Zhang Yifei and them, after all, whether it is Zhang Yifei or Zhou Yunhui, they can be regarded as first-class professional drivers.

Just like you should never try your hobby to try your profession, most of them are enthusiasts who want to challenge the New North circuit, except for test drivers.

They may be regarded as veteran drivers with NB driving skills among ordinary people, but in the face of professional drivers like Zhang Yifei, they are not at the same level at all.

Performance cars have been surpassed by Zhang Yifei and others, including Porsche 911, Lamborghini Destroyer, and even supercars like the Bugatti EB110 and McLaren F1.

When these people were overtaken by Zhou Yunhui in the Opel Astra, there was not much fluctuation in their hearts.

After all, the track version of the Obayat is still easy to distinguish, and with the oversized rear wing and exaggerated aerodynamic shape, it is estimated that no one will think that this is a grocery version of the Astra.

Those who can drive such a track version to run New Zealand are basically professional drivers, and there is no shame in being surpassed by professional drivers.

But they soon discovered that a Mercedes-Benz S55 was right behind the Opel Astra, roaring past with the engine, and the speed could be described as astonishing.

At this time, many people's faces are full of shock, and there are countless performance car models that have appeared on the New York track. There are even a lot of vegetable carts that have been violently changed, but this kind of business car is really rare.

Of course, many people recognize that this is not an ordinary S-class business car, after all, the tail box is still marked with the three letters of AMG. But even so, there are very few S-class AMG Mercedes-Benzes that come to the New North Circuit to run laps.

After all, it is too difficult to drive, and the cornering experience is not good, and ordinary people can't hold it at all!

As a result, today is an eye-opener, such a Mercedes-Benz S-class has just driven out of the feeling of an event, and a series of supercars were wildly overtaken by Zhang Yifei.

This has caused a lot of supercar owners to be dissatisfied, Lao Tzu was overtaken by a professional driver driving a track car, even if you want to overtake me with an S-class "business car"?

Defy! This is the state in the hearts of many car owners, and the exhaust noise on the track exploded in an instant, and many people planned to break their wrists with Zhang Yifei after being overtaken to prove their supercar strength!

To be honest, Zhang Yifei was also super frightened at this time, not that he was afraid or his skills were not good.

But there are too many supercars in it, and they are all too expensive!

More than eighty percent of the cars in this are Zhang Yifei and Guangshen's full belongings, and they may not be able to afford to lose.

Even if the vehicle is insured, if the collision is serious, it will easily exceed the upper limit of insurance. And Zhang Yifei's current driving behavior is actually a violation of the car rental contract, because he is not a signatory of the contract, and he doesn't even have a driver's license.

If you really want to crash and be investigated, you must accompany yourself!

This is like a joke in later generations, that is, the level of my parking space depends on the price of the vehicles on both sides of the parking space.

Now Zhang Yifei's psychology is the same, looking at the cars passing by, he is simply panicked. The level of almost overtaking depends on how much it is worth to be overtaken!

It's just that there are few cheap cars along the way, and I can't afford to hit a Porsche, and I can't afford to pay for a Bugatti. Anyway, the debts are not pressing, and Zhang Yifei will let it out.

After speeding all the way into the hilly and mountainous terrain, the road conditions of the New North Circuit began to become more and more complicated, and the corners became more and more.

At this time, Zhang Yifei finally began to be distanced by Zhou Yunhui, and the advantage in driving technology could not make up for the absolute disadvantage in vehicle performance, not to mention that Zhou Yunhui was also a professional driver in the track race, and his driving skills were not bad.

After entering the narrow and curved section, the disadvantages of Mercedes-Benz S55AMG become more and more prominent, and every time the route is turned around, even if Zhang Yifei is perfect, it will inevitably be pulled away by Zhou Yunhui.

It's not just the wheelbase that matters, but also the difference between weight, brakes and gearbox.

The 1.7-ton car is heavily placed here, which has a great impact on braking and acceleration performance, and Zhang Yifei must brake in advance at every corner, otherwise the inertia is too large and the turning speed cannot be reduced.

After cornering, the transmission efficiency of the ordinary MT manual transmission is relatively low, and no matter how fast the gear change speed, it is not as good as the sequential transmission of the track version. Coupled with the impact of the weight of the car, the acceleration performance is not as good as that of the Opel Astra.

If it weren't for the AMG modification of this S-class, the engine also has a strong torque of 700N, otherwise it would have been dumped long ago.

Halfway through the race, Zhang Yifei had been thrown off for more than three seconds, and he basically couldn't see Zhou Yunhui's taillights. This may be the first time Zhang Yifei has run a track with others, and he can't even see the taillights.

However, he was very calm in his heart, and instead enjoyed the pleasure brought by galloping on the New North Circuit, which has a high and low difference in many sections.

When passing by quickly, you can instantly feel the car soaring, which is not available on other formula circuits. This feeling is like the pleasure of "flying close to the ground" when I ran a rally in my previous life.

The memory of the previous life has actually become very vague, and the rally is gradually gone, and today finally let Zhang Yifei get back a little of his original feeling.

Of course, Zhang Yifei's slowness is relative to Zhou Yunhui, those supercars who want to catch up with him, and the taillights that are also thrown off can't be seen. Even some test drivers have a clear gap with Zhang Yifei.

Because many test drivers at the New North Circuit are not the kind of official professional teams, but are invited by the manufacturer to come over to tune and test the car.

Most of these people are retired drivers who have passed their prime, and there are few strong riders like Toshio Suzuki. After all, Toshio Suzuki has an indissoluble bond with the Nissan GTR, a car that pioneered his professional race, so he is willing to retire and has always been the chief test driver of the Nissan GTR.

At just over 20 kilometers from the New North Circuit, it's not short, but for the speed of the car, it's just a few minutes.

Soon Zhang Yifei finished running in a lap and returned to the previous starting point again, Zhou Yunhui's Opel Astra stopped on the auxiliary road next to it, but the person stood next to He Ziling, looking at a few strange men who were leaving.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Yifei also braked, parked the car directly next to He Ziling, and then got out of the car and asked, "Did something happen?" ”

"Those people seem to be pestering He Ziling, and they left when they saw me coming."

Hearing this, Zhang Yifei's face was a little unsightly, in his previous life, he knew that there were many ghosts who liked to pester Asian girls and take advantage of their ignorance to deceive them.

I've met it once in Milan before, but I didn't expect to meet it again at the New North Circuit. It can only be said that He Ziling is really beautiful, and she is more likely to suffer from these harassments.

"Did they do anything to you?"

Zhang Yifei asked in a gloomy tone, if those ghosts dared to do anything, Zhang Yifei would go over and do it without saying a word.

Not to mention that He Ziling is still his classmate and a member of the team, even if it is a strange Chinese girl, Zhang Yifei will be like this. Is he a Chinese man, can he still watch his compatriots being harassed?

He Ziling shook his head at this time and said, "No, I just want my contact information, saying to be a friend or something, but I didn't give it." ”

Hearing this, Zhang Yifei's face looked a little better, after all, compared with the gangsters in Milan, those who can come to the New North Circuit to run laps are at least above the middle class, and the quality is relatively high, and they haven't done anything excessive.

"These ghosts don't have a few good things, don't bother with them in the future."

Zhou Yunhui also said disdainfully, this kind of contact to be a friend is an old method of rotten streets.

"I know."

He Ziling nodded, she has not seen the world, going abroad is common for her, and she has to go to the UK almost every year, so she has encountered a lot of these things.

Since He Ziling was fine, Zhang Yifei focused on the lap speed and asked Zhou Yunhui, "By the way, what is the lap speed we run?" ”

"The timer on my car showed 7:36.27, and when I came back, I saw a few ghosts beside He Ziling, and I rushed over for fear that something would happen, so I didn't give you a timer."

"But by guessing, you should be under 7 minutes and 50 seconds."

Zhou Yunhui originally wanted to time Zhang Yifei behind him after he finished running, but because he saw a few ghost guys beside He Ziling, he rushed over for fear that she would be harassed, so naturally there was no way to time Zhang Yifei accurately.

Zhang Yifei didn't care about this, after all, he just experienced a New North running lap, not to break the track record.

Within 7 minutes and 50 seconds, compared with the current track record of 7 minutes and 55 seconds, it is naturally a big difference.

But you must know that the supercar standard of New North is to finish the race within 8 minutes, Zhang Yifei drove a Mercedes-Benz S55AMG, even if it has the intrinsic of a "suit thug", but no matter the weight of the car, aerodynamic shape, etc., there is still a big gap with the supercar.

Therefore, Zhang Yifei can run such a result, which can be regarded as the level of top drivers, which is already quite good.

"Even if I lost, I was okay if I could run for eight minutes."

Zhang Yifei replied with a smile, not affected in the slightest because of losing.

"I don't know if you lost or not, I didn't win anyway."

Zhou Yunhui also replied with a smile, he didn't have the face to think that he had won this game. If you really want a fair duel, you will most likely lose.

"Okay, it's time to go back after the run, and it will take two hours for my broken car to drive back."

Zhang Yifei set off in the morning, and the journey was delayed by various delays, and now it was already noon after the run.

Counting the return of the car, eating or something, Zhang Yifei will return to the hotel at least three or four o'clock.

The Fiat Palio drove during the day, and Zhang Yifei was worried that it would break down and leave himself on the road.

If you go back at night, if there is something wrong with the car on the way, this person who is not familiar with the place will really be tossed and half dead.

"Okay, I'll do my best to be a landlord, and invite you to have a meal before leaving."

Zhang Yifei was not polite, and joked: "Otherwise, you still want to save money for this meal?" ”

"I don't have that in mind, let's go."

In this way, Zhang Yifei and a few people left the track, ready to go to the car rental company, and returned the car first.

You must know that the price of this Mercedes-Benz S55AMG track car rental is calculated by the minute, and every minute wasted, Zhang Yifei will be more painful!

In a building next to the track, there was a man about fifty years old, watching Zhang Yifei and others leave.

When several figures disappeared, he asked the assistant beside him, "How is it, have you found out the identity of that young man?" ”

"No, the rental car registration information is the new test driver week of the Opel team, not the young man who drove the Mercedes-Benz S55."

Hearing this answer, the foreign man's brows furrowed, and the burn marks on his face made him have no obvious expression.

"Driving a Mercedes-Benz S55AMG, I can run a time of 7 minutes and 47 seconds, and I am definitely a top driver. Judging from his cornering line, he should have experience in long-term track races, and there should be few Asian drivers in Europe who are so young and have such strength, so continue to check it. ”

"Understood, Boss."

The assistant quickly retreated, and the half-hundred-year-old man recalled the line of Zhang Yifei's few curves just now, thoughtfully.

On the wall behind him, there is a "jaguar" motif jumping forward, with the English letters JaguarRacing underneath.

If this string of English is translated according to the Chinese car brand, it is called Jaguar Racing, but in Formula 1, this English is translated as Jaguar Racing.

The foreign man who is looking at Zhang Yifei is the new boss (boss) Nikki Lauda who has just taken office in the Jaguar team.

Nicky Lauda, a three-time F1 Drivers' Champion in the seventies and eighties, was divided into the South and North Loops because of his racing accident in 1976, which made the FIA aware of the danger that the track could not be rescued in time.

The accident caused Lauda's car to burst into flames, causing him severe burns, and the toxic heat he inhaled caused damage to his lungs and blood system, and he went into a critical coma.

But just six weeks later, Lauda returned to the track with a large scar, and was only one point behind the runner-up of the year.

His return from the accident was considered one of the bravest examples of motorsport, and he later made a biopic called "RUSH".

You must know that this is one of the few drivers who are qualified to make biographical films, and another well-known driver documentary in China is estimated to be "The Eternal Car God Senna".

From this, it can also be seen that Lauda has become one of the legendary drivers of F1.

Indeed, as Lauda had guessed, there were not a few young Asian riders in Europe who could compete on top tracks.

Soon the team assistant found Zhang Yifei's information from the FIA, and then handed it to Lauda, who was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window.

"Junior Formula driver?"

After seeing the introduction, Lauda was a little surprised, he thought that with this kind of track strength, the touring car race was at least at the international first-class level, and the formula was at least F3 first-class, and even F3000 level drivers.

As a result, I didn't expect that Zhang Yifei was only a junior formula driver, which was actually not good news for Lauda.

Because he was very surprised by Zhang Yifei's performance on the New North Circuit just now, he wanted to get in touch with him.

But as an F1 team, and behind it is Ford Motor Company, it can be said that in terms of background strength, it is not weaker than some of the current F1 giants.

Even if you just enter the F1 paddock this year, you will not be exposed to junior Formula 1, this kind of "low-level" driver.

Kimi Raikkonen's success is based on Sober's lack of money and lack of achievements.

Although the Jaguar team has no results now, because of the relationship between Ford and Ford, there is no shortage of R&D and backers, so junior formula drivers are not in the consideration of the Jaguar team.

Even if Lauda feels that he has the strength and potential, it will be difficult to get the agreement of the team's management and the parent company.

Because unlike ordinary private team owners, Lauda, a team boss, is more like a professional manager and has no absolute rights.

Moreover, the factional struggle within the Jaguar is very fierce, resulting in the team's performance hovering backwards despite the fact that the account strength is good.

Historically, Lauda was only the owner of the team for two years before he was unilaterally fired by Ford without notice, and he still got the news of his dismissal in the newspapers.

"BOSS, do you need me to contact this young driver?"

"Not for the time being, he only has a Renault race championship result, and he can't impress the team management, and he doesn't even have the qualifications to try out the drivers."

"At least he's going to have to get the title of Renault championship to be in sight."

The big F1 teams only want the best drivers, not the so-called potential. Lauda is in the Jaguar team, and he doesn't have enough decision-making power, so even if he admires Zhang Yifei's strength, he can only give up this idea for the time being.

Zhang Yifei, who was eating, didn't know that when he was gobbling up, he entered the sight of the F1 team for the first time in his life, and almost got a trial qualification......

(Renault races are in advance, so the timeline in the book is almost a year ahead of schedule, and some key time points will also be changed according to the needs of the plot, so let's explain.) ）8)
