133 Huge boost

Zhang Yifei, as a pure rookie formula driver, because of his previous poor foundation, after all, karting training is only a few months, so after the evaluation of Toyota's physical trainers, his physical training in the early stage is more important than actual operation training.

So for the next period of time, Zhang Yifei basically spent most of his time doing various physical training, and then set aside two to three hours a day to practice on the track.

Compared with the previous go-kart training, the intensity of Toyota's academy can be said to have more than doubled. But fortunately, Zhang Yifei's advantage is that he can endure hardships, no matter how tired he is, he can grit his teeth and persevere, which makes Junko Takeda a little surprised.

She thought that Zhang Yifei had not received formal formula training, and it was very likely that she would not be able to withstand this high-intensity rhythm in the early stage, but she didn't expect this little Chinese guy to be much tougher than she imagined.

In the past few days, Zhang Yifei has become a little familiar with the other three drivers, two Japanese kart drivers, the trial results are about 15 seconds slower than the fastest track record, so they just passed the trial, and did not become a contracted driver, but a youth trainee.

This is also related to the current strength and fame of the Toyota youth training team, unable to attract the strongest group of talented drivers to come to the trial, just like Zhang Yifei, if it weren't for the European Driver Academy not to want him, otherwise he would not have retreated to the Toyota Academy.

As for the Australian Hank, this guy actually met the standard of running formula at the European Drivers' Academy, but the Toyota team offered a well-paid contract, and he was given a basic salary of 30,000 US dollars in the junior formula stage, as well as priority scholarships and other conditions, and finally he chose to come to Tokyo, Japan.

Even if he is strong, and he is still a white driver, this guy has an inexplicable sense of superiority at the welcome ceremony. It seems that with Zhang Yifei and other Asian drivers, it is not the same level.

In fact, Hank showed such an attitude, and there was another factor, that is, Zhang Yifei's trial results were even better than him, which made him feel very unhappy in his heart, so he had a kind of hostility towards Zhang Yifei.

Time passed day by day, and soon Zhang Yifei came to the Toyota youth training team for more than half a month.

It can be said that this half a month of vocational training has greatly improved Zhang Yifei, and even some levels that he did not reach in his previous life are very close to the Toyota track.

After all, in his previous life, Zhang Yifei was a halfway monk, born in a wild road, and he did not experience top-notch vocational training, so he was still so poor after all. So he has always been a gangster in the domestic rally arena, and finally got the opportunity to go to Europe for a trial and came to this world again.

The changes in the body are even more obvious, Zhang Yifei has been working out with high intensity in the past few months, and he has been guided by a professional physical trainer for most of the month, plus the nutritionist guarantees the daily impact supplement, it can be said that there has been a reborn change from the body half a year ago.

The body is not the kind of burly man who is athletic and muscular, but the muscle lines are very smooth, and the body fat ratio is also very good.

Especially for cardiopulmonary function, Zhang Yifei's lung capacity has reached about 7,000 ml, while the standard for ordinary people is between 2,000 and 4,000.

During the track practice, Zhang Yifei's average heartbeat has reached about 150 beats per minute, and it is close to 170 beats in the starting stage, while the median heartbeat of normal men per minute is only about 80 beats.

The heart is beating so fast is not a heart problem, but because of the high G-value pressure of the car and the high mental tension, the brain needs a stronger blood supply. You must know that among F1 drivers, even if the qualifying is relatively poor, the average heartbeat of the event is around 160 times (excluding the pit stop refueling and maintenance time), and the starting heartbeat will be as high as 190 times per minute!

Therefore, it is not unreasonable for any F1 driver to have an extremely strong cardiopulmonary function, and many people call F1 drivers "land astronauts", which is not unreasonable.

Now Zhang Yifei's fastest lap at the Toyota circuit has been refreshed to 1 minute and 30 seconds, less than six seconds away from the track record of 1:24.23 set by Japanese F3 champion Takuma Sato.

You must know that this is only the effect of less than a month of training, if Zhang Yifei's neck muscles are stronger and he takes more time to practice on the track, three months later, according to the prediction of data analyst Yamamoto Ukyo, the gap with the track record will be reduced to less than three seconds.

The difference of less than three seconds is already an extremely terrifying result for a newcomer who has not run any formula professional events, and if this prediction is really reached, Zhang Yifei can already participate in various junior formula races.

But any improvement is slower and slower the further it goes, and whether Zhang Yifei can really achieve this astonishing prediction will need to wait until three months later.

At noon dinner that day, Zhang Yifei's mobile phone rang, his mobile phone is rarely used recently, one is because the training intensity is too great, there is no time to look at the mobile phone, and the other point is that international calls are too expensive, even Zhang Yifei's Hong Kong Island phone card can not be carried, in order to save money there are fewer calls.

The caller ID was Xie Tiancheng's name, so Zhang Yifei directly pressed the answer button, and Xie Tiancheng's voice came from the other end of the phone: "I'm in Japan, do you have time tonight, come out and get together." ”

Xie Tiancheng has always spoken more directly, without any polite twists and turns, which is also more in line with Zhang Yifei's character.

"No problem, but I'm not familiar with Tokyo, so I'll make an appointment with a more famous place."

Zhang Yifei has been coming to Tokyo seriously for more than half a month, but in fact, except for the hotel before, he has not even gone out of the gate of the youth training base.

After all, he doesn't have an acquaintance and a familiar place in Japan, and he doesn't know where to go when he goes out, as for the other drivers in the youth training base, he has no common topic with the Japanese, and he can't pee with the white Hank, so it's better to stay in the base and do more physical training.

"I'll pick you up in the evening, just tell me the time."

Zhang Yifei calculated the time, he usually finished training at six o'clock, ate and exercised at night, and finally took a shower and went out, and he had to prepare for three hours at the earliest.

"It's half past nine, and I'm going to the test site before Toyota in Tokyo."

“OK。”

At half past nine in the evening, Zhang Yifei walked out of the Toyota youth training base, and a Nissan GTR was parked on the side of the road at the door.

"Didn't you say you're going to fight in the profession, it's better to smoke less."

When he was on Hong Kong Island, Tse planned to compete in the Japanese Super Touring Car Race, which was also the event that his master Toshio Suzuki had won.

Just as F1 drivers need a strong cardio, so do touring cars, but with a slightly lower bar. Cigarettes have a great impact on cardiopulmonary function, even more serious than drinking, and if you really plan to compete professionally and stand on the championship seat, then you must be strict with yourself.

Hearing Zhang Yifei's words, Xie Tiancheng smiled, and then snuffed out the cigarette butt in his hand.

"Congratulations yet, you successfully tried out to become a Toyota youth driver."

"Don't talk about these things, what do the academy drivers have to congratulate, is there anything going on in the evening?"

"It's nothing, it's just a get-together, and by the way, you can get a taste of Japan's racing culture."

"Where are you going?"

"The shore."
