At 2 o'clock in the afternoon, Shang Luo, who had finished lunch, sat in the car.

The game is about to begin. However, now it is not the main race, but the qualifying round.

The so-called qualifying race is when everyone runs a lap in no particular order, and then counts the time. The grid starts in the order of qualifying for the main race – the order of qualifying in the previous race is determined by the previous results. And here, the qualifying match is directly before the main game.

This is also the difference between Formula for Secondary School Students and Formula Career. Formula Pro format is much longer, with several races and a few races at a stop, and a few times at a site to earn points.

But middle school students don't have the energy, and they don't have the points race that costs multiple tracks. It's usually a winner-or-loser.

For example, there were not a few preliminaries in the previous round, and the current finals are only a qualifying race, and then a main race is over, and it is done in one day.

Because of the fact that so many convoys stay in Yingtian City for every day, the cost is quite large. Vehicles also need to be kept in good condition at all times, which puts a lot of pressure on everyone. So after one day, the results will be released on the spot, and if there is any problem, it will be solved the next day, and everyone can call it a day. The rhythm is similar to that of the imperial examination, because the imperial examination is also an examination.

"So, I'll give you one last word. Although I have told you before, I will emphasize it again. ”

Qi Yuan came in with a map probe: "After the start, go directly to the highway along the track, and the closest one we have here is the Qingliangmen Tower." ”

She pointed to this crucial place. It is the castle tower next to Stone Town, which is also the starting point of the bicycle race, and the track is relatively open. Stone Town is also a famous scenic spot, in the past Three Kingdoms, Sun 100,000 set up a position here, and all dynasties have regarded this place as a fortress. Now it has been converted into a bastion, so the road on the wall is quite winding, with many sharp curves.

Actually, it's not very suitable for driving, and it's enough to walk a bicycle. However, because it is the closest to the velodrome, less than 1 kilometer, it has the least impact on the city's roads, so it is still chosen to start there.

"The entire city wall has been remodeled to be passable, but the renovation is based on bicycles, and only bicycles can be passed. Be careful when passing through the gatehouse, as it is not much wider than the car body. After going up from the Qingliang Gate, open in the direction of Yuejiang Tower, that is, to the north, and then-"

She drew a large circle on the map:

"You're going to have to drive all the way down the city walls, then come down from the Qingliang Gate again, go back to the track and go back again. The distance of the whole race, which is the city wall plus the road from here to the city wall, is 37 kilometers. ”

"Pretty short, actually?"

"Definitely. According to the regular course, it is only six or seven laps. In the professional races, a race totals two or three hundred kilometers, and we have a total of patches here, but generally no more than 150 kilometers. This time, the race was required to run 3 laps, which is 111 kilometers, which is only half of the professional race. In fact, it's almost a little more than a tank of oil. Our strategy is to add half a tank of fuel to make the car lighter, and then just refuel once when you come back. In extra time we added a small amount of fuel to the limit so that we could have an advantage in qualifying. ”

"Hmm" Shang Luo nodded, "I feel, the pressure is still a little bit." Especially in qualifying, it's hard to see where other people are, which makes it even harder. ”

"On the flip side, it's a little less stressful. Just run as fast as you can. ”

"Actually, we have a problem here." Shang Luo suppressed his voice, "Because our car has a trick, which is to stick to the back of someone else's car and follow it, and then suck it on it." If there is no car in front for me to suck, it seems that it will have a big impact on the grades. ”

Qi Yuan slapped his palm on his head: "How did we get to this point, we actually want to ask others for energy to live. But now there is no way to do it. Qualifying is at the back, so it's easier for you to pick your opponent to suck, right? Not a big problem. ”

Although it is a little difficult to explain, as long as he can win, he can't control so much.

"And." Qi Yuan reminded again, "The part that can use spells has been marked. In general, it is not possible on the road, but it is okay on the city walls. If there is a high-rise building next to it, it is not okay, but if there is a shelter next to it, it is okay. In the second half of the circle, starting from the area around Xuanwu Lake to the circle around Xiaoling, almost all of them can use spells. If we're going to suck behind someone else to overtake, go there. ”

"Hmm." Shang Luo nodded, "However, you have to choose your target carefully. ”

He glanced outside the door, the Xuantan Tiger had passed early, and the Taishang Jiechen of Wudang had also opened up just now, and it was almost them.

"Theoretically, sucking the Xuantan Tiger is the best, and they should run the fastest. But I feel that it's not bad to suck that self-driving car, which is the most worry-free, in short, let's look at the qualifying results. ”

While speaking, Wen Yuan walked in from the door and hooked his hand at them: "Come out, it's okay." ”

Qualifying is not so strict, and it doesn't matter if you arrive faster or slower, because you are just comparing yourself with yourself anyway, and you will hardly be bumped into by others - you can still be bumped into by someone after only one lap, which means that the gap between the two teams may be a bit big.

Releasing the clutch, Shang Luo slowly slid to the starting point of the car. This car actually has two parts, a gear and a throttle, which can be controlled on both sides. Shang Luo himself hadn't figured out how to adjust the throttle valve, but with Doudou to control it, it wasn't a big problem.

To a certain extent, this car can also be regarded as a "semi-automatic transmission", and the operation of this car is adjusted by both him and Tianyi nobles, just like the two pilots on the plane have throttle valves. If the operation of two people is inconsistent, there is a possibility of the phenomenon of bull topping. But on the other hand, if one side goes wrong, it's only half wrong, and it's not fatal.

He noticed that the staff on the side were always staring at their car. He also knew that the staff was not looking at him, but at the balloons hanging in the back of the car.

The ball hung right behind it, dangling like a balloon. When the car was driving, the balloon was also dragged here.

Shang Luo also suddenly felt that he heard something, like the sound of snoring wind. Looking back, the ball hanging on it showed a happy expression and was opening its mouth to hold the air.

[It said that the wind is galloping~~It's too fast~~]

"Please, I haven't started running yet, I haven't hit the throttle yet"

As he spoke, the lights came on. The red light came on twice, followed by the green light - he was completely relaxed, because the Tianyi nobleman would help him blow the gas pedal at the limit.

With a "boom", the Heavenly Dao Shadow Puppet rushed out.

The sound of snoring behind me disappeared from my ears.
