105: Practice Match
Ferrari arranged two technicians for Qin Miao, although Qin Miao also asked the people from the Ferrari Racing Division to help change the car, which can be regarded as a bit of friendship, but the technician who helped Qin Miao change the 488 is mainly responsible for aerodynamics, you let them install an aerodynamic kit, and there is no problem with the debugging of the aerodynamic kit of the racing car, but they can't handle the debugging of the chassis tire engine.
So instead of calling people over and facing problems they can't handle, it's better to just let Ferrari put two skilled people on their own.
The place where Qin Miao and their race cars were placed was a warehouse-like place, and there were not many F3 cars participating in the race, only ten, and the original paint on these cars had disappeared, and the appearance was repainted with Ferrari's classic red paint, and the nose cone on the front of the car also had Ferrari's classic Prancing Horse icon.
Led the car out of the warehouse, Qiu Meng sat in the driver's seat, Qin Miao and Lu Bos pushed the rear wing behind their backs, and the three of them worked together to push the car to the P room prepared for Qin Miao.
This car is not heavy, more than 400 kilograms, even if you add Qiu Meng, it is less than 500 kilograms, and there is no pressure at all for the two of them to push.
At this time, the two technicians arranged by Ferrari for Qin Miao were already waiting in the P room, and they hurried over to help after seeing Qin Miao, the driver, pushing the car over himself.
The five of them worked together to park the car in room P, and then Qin Miao took the initiative to greet the two technicians.
"Hello, the next two days will be hard for you." Qin Miao's attitude was very low, and he took the initiative to greet the two.
Not to mention anything else, at least Qin Miao has enough face.
Although the two technicians on the opposite side are not honestly afraid, but Qin Miao's attitude is still very comfortable after they see it, although they also have an extra bonus to do this, but with a bonus at the same time, they can also have a more pleasant working environment and a boss who is easy to get along with, why not?
"Hello, Qin Miao, we'll do our best to help you adjust your car." The other party gave a guarantee very seriously.
The two sides got to know each other for a while, and then they began to work intensively.
Qin Miao first used a blue man-vehicle integration skill card for this F3, and after using it, there was only one blue card left, but fortunately, there were three purple Qin Miao, so there was no need to worry about inventory at all.
After using it, Qin Miao sat in the car and experienced it, his first feeling was that he didn't find anything wrong with this car, and he felt that the engine was in very good condition.
But just like your body, you feel that there is nothing wrong with your body, but whether there is a problem or not is not up to you, it depends on the doctor and the data from the test to have the final say.
So at this time, it is still necessary for professionals to conduct a thorough inspection of this car.
However, when the two technicians began to inspect the car, Qin Miao opened the carbon fiber plate behind the front nose wing and above the brake stroke.
Qin Miao directly blindly adjusted the position of the brake pedal here, after all, now Qin Miao's understanding of this car has gone up a big ladder, and he can adjust the brake pedal to a position that he will feel comfortable with his feet.
After more than ten minutes, after the inspection, no major problems were found in the car, and some innocuous small problems were solved in the process of inspection.
After the work came to an end temporarily, Qin Miao realized that she didn't know when, Qiu Meng walked in with a bag of drinks.
After all, now Qin Miao is a Ferrari person, and Qiu Meng didn't buy Red Bull drinks, but only fruit juice drinks, which are more common in Italy.
After sharing it with everyone, Qin Miao and the two technicians continued to start the next stage of busyness.
Although it is not known what the team's skill is displayed by the passive skill [Guiding the Research Department] given by the system.
But when Qin Miao was busy debugging the car, he still hung up this skill to his own skill slot.
Qin Miao didn't know what the specific thing was for, and he didn't see any difference, but he didn't take down this skill when he had already entered the working state.
It took about five minutes to do the last check, and after confirming that there was no problem, Qin Miao went to the locker room to change into her racing suit with peace of mind.
Compared with the racing uniforms of other players, Qin Miao's clothes can be called clean, and the whole body is the red and yellow color scheme of the Ferrari youth uniform, and only the yellow Prancing Horse icon on the chest and the name of Boss Zhou's group are on the whole clothes.
Boss Zhou's group name is printed on Qin Miao's back with a rectangle of white characters on a black background, and there is one thing to say, the Logo printed in this way is indeed quite like that, it does not look abrupt, and it will not make people feel that Qin Miao's racing suit looks like a factory uniform.
Today, Qin Miao is wearing a helmet given to him by Zhou Guanyu, which is also red overall, but there are CSGO AWP graffiti and cartoons of Zhou Guanyu and Qin Miao sitting in front of the computer playing games together, it can be seen that Zhou Guanyu was still very careful when designing this helmet.
After getting dressed, wearing a helmet, and fixing the Hans system, Qin Miao took the opportunity to sit in the driver's seat of F3.
Fixing the headrest, Qin Miao felt the pedal position, inserted the steering wheel into the base, the car machine system started, the vehicle self-checked, everything was just right.
It was also from the moment he sat in the driver's seat that Qin Miao clearly felt that his blood began to boil gradually, but the more Qin Miao's blood boiled, the more sober his brain became.
……
A technician walked up to the pit lane, looked left and right, and after making sure that there were no cars passing by on either side, he gave a thumbs up to Qin Miao, who had already started the engine, and then gave instructions that he could leave the station.
Unlike F1, which also needs to warm up the engine, F3 is much easier to start and ignite directly after making sure that there is no problem.
After receiving the engineer's instructions, Qin Miao stepped on the accelerator and slowly drove the car out of the P room and into the track through the pit lane passage.
Today, in addition to being an assistant, Lu Bos also made a cameo appearance with Qiu Meng as Qin Miao's engineer, that is, the person who communicated with Qin Miao in TR.
But after all, it's not a real race, and the content that the two can communicate with Qin Miao is relatively limited, that is, Qin Miao's lap speed and the traffic conditions on the track, and then the current state of the car and tire wear.
Overall, it's relatively simple.
The first day of testing begins at this moment.
Qin Miao's nature is more inclined to seek stability, so Qin Miao's practice rhythm is still gradually familiar with the track, and he will only start to speed up and do flying laps after he has enough confidence.
When Qin Miao really started to do laps, it was the third time he returned to the pit lane and went out again.
At this time, Qin Miao had already adjusted the chassis three times, and it was a coincidence that only three adjustments allowed Qin Miao to find a tuning that made him comfortable to drive, which is commonly known as the tuning dessert.
I don't know if it's because of the skills of these two technicians or luck, or maybe Qin Miao's skills played a role.
In short, Qin Miao felt that at this time, this F3 had reached a state where she felt very comfortable.
After leaving the pit area, Qin Miao made a warm-up lap on the track, and after confirming the traffic conditions on the track from Lupos, Qin Miao started his first flight lap in the practice session.
There is nothing to say about the first lap, at this time, most of the drivers in the same group are looking for their own tuning window, and there is only Qin Miao who does the flight lap, plus Qin Miao has also run this track countless times on the simulator before the start of this race, and has also walked through this track many times, and the flight lap with all his best is naturally simply and easily converted into a fastest lap record.
And Qin Miao did not slow down after the first flight lap was done, on the one hand, because the tire failure of F3 was much slower than that of F1, Qin Miao's tire grip at this time was still online, and on the other hand, the reason was that Qin Miao still had some flaws in the first flight lap, and Qin Miao felt that he could do better if he ran again.
The second flight lap was as Qin Miao expected, and the result was 0.2 seconds faster than the first flight lap, which was still because Qin Miao was blocked by a 488GT3 when entering the big straight.
Without this block, Qin Miao's result would have started at least 0.4 seconds faster than the first lap.
However, after the second flight lap, Qin Miao didn't continue to do the third flight lap, because it was unnecessary.
After the completion of the second flight circle, it has confirmed a lot of Qin Miao's inner thoughts, and it is also the fastest speed he can do at present, it is just a training match, there is no need to strive for perfection to pursue the speed of a few tenths of a second.
After returning to the maintenance area, Qin Miao changed to a set of yellow tires.
The purpose of this practice is to test the long-distance performance of Qin Miao and the car under the current tuning.
……
Watching a favorite movie, playing games, and your other half of you and me, doing these interesting things, time will always fly by unconsciously.
At this time, Qin Miao had this feeling, and in the process of constantly collecting data and getting familiar with this car, Qin Miao gained the purest driving pleasure and happiness.
By the time he came back from work, it was five o'clock in the afternoon, and the track was closed for maintenance in preparation for tomorrow's race.
Qin Miao could only leave the track and go back to rest.
It is worth mentioning that the result of the flying lap that Qin Miao did in the morning has not been broken by other drivers who also drive F3 cars so far.
It's just that after all, it's just a practice match, and there are no high-level Ferrari executives, and no one even pays attention to Qin Miao's achievement, and even Qin Miao doesn't take this result too seriously......
After all, just like other drivers don't know what Qin Miao's results are, Qin Miao doesn't know what other people's results are, and if they don't compare, they naturally don't know what their own results are.
Just when Qin Miao was about to go home with Qiu Meng, and then put the pressure of work and competition behind him, play a good game, and make up for the game progress pulled down by crazy training these days.
Qiu Meng asked Lu Bo coldly: "Lu Bo, who is the key to our P room usually given to for safekeeping?" ”
Lu Bos didn't understand why Qiu Meng asked himself such a question for a while, but after all, after getting along for so long, Lu Bos also had a certain understanding of Qiu Meng.
This girl who looks similar to Qin Miao's age has the calmness and sophistication that this age should not have, and at the same time, she also grasps Qin Miao's heart to death, if her thoughts are not particularly outrageous, Qin Miao will generally follow her, the key is that this girl is also extremely sensible, and will not put forward any opinions that make Qin Miao feel uncomfortable, and the state of getting along between the two is a little envious even if Lu Bos, an unmarried person, looks at it.
So in the face of Qiu Meng's question, Lu Bos didn't dare to slack off, and carefully recalled for a while before answering: "It is usually kept by the security guards of the track, and at the same time, there will be a backup of the key from the logistics department, and the Fiorano circuit is our private track, and no outsiders will enter under normal conditions, so the P room will generally just pull down the roller shutter door, and will not lock the door......
Speaking of which, Lu Bos, who has seen the ugliness of human nature, has gradually understood what Qiu Meng meant, and Qiu Meng is worried that someone will come to destroy Qin Miao's car, or maliciously tamper with the tuning of Qin Miao's car.
However, the Olano circuit is not open to the public, and there are cameras in the P room, so no one would be bold enough to disgust others, right?
Facing Lu Bos's hesitant eyes, Qiu Meng said calmly: "Since Qin Miao embarked on the road of racing driver, I have always speculated about Qin Miao's competitors with the greatest malice.
There is an old saying in our country, be careful to sail the ship for ten thousand years......"
Lupos nodded: "Then I'll go to the guard room and get the key to room P and lock the door when I leave later."
It's a bit of a hassle, but I think you're right to be worried. ”
Qiu Meng nodded after hearing this, Lu Bos is still trustworthy with her, after all, his contract and Qin Miao's contract are basically a bound state, and Qin Miao has a relationship of both prosperity and loss.
When she got home in the evening, Qin Miao turned on the computer after a long time and looked at the friend bar on Faceit, but unfortunately Zhou Guanyu was not online, otherwise the two of them would be able to set off a wave of bloody rain on the ladder of Faceit.
But it's not that Qin Miao can't play alone, it's just that there is a little less fun to joke with each other than when he has friends.
At night, Qin Miao played a total of three games, and won all three games, which is also a good sign, Qin Miao accepted it when he saw it, and after winning three games, he went to bed decisively, and there was a game waiting for him tomorrow.
After a night of nothing, Qin Miao got up early the next day, went to the gym to warm up briefly, and then went to the track.
After all, there is a game today, in order to be able to have more physical fitness during the game, Qin Miao's training intensity today is not high, so it can only be regarded as a simple warm-up.
However, Qin Miao did not go to the P room to prepare for the first time, but was called by Lawson to the conference room in the track for a meeting, this meeting talked about the specific process of today's competition, as well as the rewards after the game.
It also explains who will be announced in the week following the race, who will be qualified for next year's drivers' spots.
