Chapter 87: The Fourth Station (2)
"Ladies and gentlemen! Now for the latest news we received from the organizing committee of the China Automobile Federation and CCC! As we have reported, two weeks ago the CAA held a secret closed-door meeting with all but the teams except Hurricane. And now it is the decision to revise the CCC competition rules that was passed after the meeting after careful study by the senior management of the China Automobile Federation! And for the first time in the history of the CAAM, the rules have been adjusted without the end of the season! ”
Less than 10 minutes before the start of the qualifying race, the host of CCTV suddenly broadcast such a news, which immediately attracted the attention of all fans. At the same time, the big screen of the Longquan Circuit is also scrolling to broadcast the latest rules and regulations.
“...... The resolution stipulates that each team has the right to replace and rebuild the existing racing engine once until July 1 this year, and all other key components will also have a chance to be replaced! This is a temporary rule and will only be valid for this year's CCC season!
Attention, we're talking about replacement, not improvement! This means that by the end of June, as long as there are suitable, more advanced engines and other components, each team will theoretically have the option to replace the engine and other components to close the huge gap between them and the Turbo team.
In terms of rules, this rule leaves teams less time to find the right engine and components for their cars! And only a limited number of large teams have the ability to achieve the replacement of team cars in a short period of time! And it is still unknown whether these powers can be transformed into combat effectiveness today, when the resolution has just been issued. However, we can still say that this is a blatant regulation for the speedy team! ”
......
Looking at the TV in the workshop, Ye Feng finally understood what was wrong with making him feel unhappy! And this is also the reason why Zhan Yunfei's subordinate is so arrogant today. After all, the China Automobile Federation still failed to resist the requests of other teams and gave the wind a speed, but what made Ye Feng fortunate was that the China Automobile Federation did not prohibit the application of new technologies in the CCC, but chose to let other teams make up for the huge gap between themselves and the wind speed within the limited time. But the feeling of being made by someone still made Ye Feng unhappy, and at the same time, it also made Lao Ye's heart a little uneasy about the game.
"Boy, don't worry! Even if they all replaced engines with more than 10,000 revolutions, they all replaced them with more powerful aerodynamic components and suspension. They won't be able to use the new car to its full potential in such a short period of time! After all, they only have 2 weeks to change their cars, and even if the deadline is only 3 weeks until July 1st, what can our opponents do in such a short period of time? And don't forget, our 03-CA has gone through more than 4 months of baptism from the change of car to now, and the run-in between our drivers and the car has basically been completed! Whether the drivers of the other teams will be able to adapt to the faster pace of the new cars is still a big question. In short, with Gu Qing and Zheng Xiao participating together, our 5 consecutive championships are not delusional! ”
Just when Ye Feng began to feel a little panicked, Senna's voice sounded. During this time, in addition to directing the team races and coaching Ye Feng's daily training, Senna plunged headlong into the design of the new car. Senna is not surprised by this decision of the China Automobile Federation, because in his opinion, the decision of the China Automobile Federation is not bad, and the most afraid is not that the official resolution is released, but that the official will let all this go!
"Anyway! You'll be able to watch the game in a minute! Watch every driver you see, especially the ones at the front! Because they could all be your formidable opponents in the future! Try to put yourself in each driver's role and put yourself in their shoes, what would you do if you were in their respective positions! ”
......
The dense dark clouds finally tore off the last disguise, and a miserable rain poured into C City in an instant. The lightning and thunder mixed with it even covered the sound of the roaring racing engine on the Longquan Track at this time, making today's race full of strange atmosphere full of suspense.
With the referee's order, the race of the qualifying time lap begins. The drivers, who had been warming up their cars for some time, braved the heavy rain to start the fourth race. The sudden onset of heavy rain caught everyone off guard, and although the teams had switched from dry tyres to wet tyres, the first few riders had some lack of grip on the time lap. One driver's car even rushed off the track and didn't stop until it was not far in front of the tire wall, which made the drivers and spectators who came out secretly sweat.
"Ladies and gentlemen! Now in front of us is the star driver of Shanghai Volkswagen 333 Team Han Han! He currently sits sixth in the Drivers' Championship and if the Volkswagen team is able to improve the car within the time frame set by the CAA, the fourth place finisher from last year's CCC Drivers' Championship will be one of the contenders for this year's Drivers' Championship! Oh! Look, everyone! What a quick start, Han Han's No. 6 car looked a lot faster than the last race even in the rain today! Could it be that Shanghai Volkswagen has already completed the improvement of its racing car? ”
Just when everyone was concerned about the performance of the drivers in the rain, a blue and eye-catching Shanghai Volkswagen 333 team car quickly appeared in people's eyes in the rain, and it was Han Han, the No. 2 driver of the 333 team, who drove this car. The appearance of the star driver immediately caused a burst of cheers from the few spectators in the Longquan circuit, while all the professionals watched closely the performance of Han Han's Bora car and the constantly beating numbers on the timer.
Obviously, this is no longer the car used by Team 333 in the last race! Both in terms of acceleration and cornering ability, it is much stronger than before. Even on such a rainy day, the Bora racing car was still controlled by Han Han, who had experience in formula racing, both steadily and quickly. After one lap, Han Han even improved his fastest lap time by as much as 4 seconds! This is almost a gap between two cars of different classes! This also means that the change in the regulations just now by the China Automobile Federation has actually completed the transformation for the Volkswagen 333 team! Tomorrow's official tournament may be worth watching!
Just when everyone was still shocked by Han Han's amazing performance, another car from the 333 team, the No. 3 car driven by Gu Lin of the Feitianlong team and the No. 8 Subaru car driven by Zhan Yunfei also completed their qualifying races in turn, and the results were even better than the one Han Han just now! This made all the spectators sweat at the moment of great surprise, and also for the two Citroen cars that came out at the end of the race......
