104 European Dream
Of course, compared to the true F1-level genius driver, Zhang Yifei is still far behind, because his opponent's eldest is only 14 years old, but Zhang Yifei can be considered 17 years old.
In the teenage stage, the gap at each year represents the growth of the mind and the strengthening of learning ability. Therefore, although Zhang Yifei is very strong, he has not defeated his peers.
Just like Zhang Yifei's peer rival, the average level is to drive a 125cc kart and participate in regional events, just like the next event Zhang Yifei will participate in.
The more powerful ones are already driving a 250cc super kart and running Formula Elementary Events, such as Formula Renault.
And the most powerful group, who are already running F-3 level events at this age, have begun to stand out and enter the sight of the F1 team.
You should know that this is not the most powerful. The real genius level may have reached the threshold of f3000. This is the reserve cradle for f1 drivers. Just look at how much level Zhang Yifei is, you will understand how difficult it is to become an f1 driver.
Genius is not an exclusive title for F1 drivers, but wholesale...
Turn 1 passed, and soon arrived at Turn 2 of the track. This curve is a high-speed turn. Is it very low? It basically passes through the full throttle, mainly looking at the corner tangent.
The tangents of the students are still standard. No matter how perfect Zhang Yifei is, he cannot catch up with the gap. He can only ensure that he is not pulled apart.
Turn 3 is similar to turn 2. The curvature that really needs to be tested by the driver's tangent skills is turn 4 of the track!
Turn 4 is an s-bend. Many of these two reverse bends are called s-bends, but in fact there is a big gap in angle.
There are very large angles like mountain roads, like a flattened S, which can be called a hairpin bend. However, on the track, the curve of the s bend will not be so large, which is equivalent to lengthening it, and it is more like a serpentine slight arc, so that it can avoid excessive slowing down.
So, as long as you find the perfect tangent line on the track, you can even pass through the s-bend at a high speed by walking in a straight line!
When Zhang Yifei first ran Turn 4, Lu Ningping yelled at him with a roaring voice because he subconsciously slowed down by using a curve. As the saying goes, one's mistakes will lead to wisdom. Later, after more than half a month of training, Zhang Yifei had gradually overcome some of his wrong habits and began to pass corners in a kart professional manner. Turn 4 can be said to be the first bend he solved!
When the accelerator was stepped to the bottom, there was no sign of slowing down. Zhang Yifei directly entered the tangent line passing Turn 4, from the tire wall close to the left to the tire wall on the right, there was less than three centimeters away from the tire wall on the right. There was no slowing down at all in this S-turn, and the throttle was directly turned around.
The 125cc kart has strong power, and the weight factor does have a great acceleration advantage, but it cannot withstand Zhang Yifei's crazy floor oil and tangent selection. When this curve passed, among the five students, the last two relatively young students were directly overtaken by Zhang Yifei.
There are more than a dozen curves in the entire track, and the more difficult the curves the back are, the more considering the driver's driving ability. According to this trend, Zhang Yifei basically has no opponent to fight.
Seeing this scene, Lu Ningping didn't know whether to say he was happy or worried. The reason for his happiness was naturally Zhang Yifei's strength and potential. The worry was that the strength of Zhuifeng Club was still too weak.
This weakness does not mean that the equipment or coaches are weak. You should know that the 1,200-meter professional track of the Wind Chasing Club is already considered the top private track in Hong Kong. Many karting events in Hong Kong Island have to borrow the track of the Wind Chasing Club.
There is no need to say about the coaches. In addition to the Chinese generation car king Lu Ningping, there is also a professional retired driver from Hong Kong Island and a coach who has studied professional karting training in Europe. There is only the last young Xiao Li, who has relatively low qualifications and is just an assistant coach.
The weak aspect is mainly the students, because all the students here are the children of wealthy people from Hong Kong and Macao. They do not regard karting as their future career, but are more of an entertainment toy.
Those with perseverance can persist for a few years, and then stop playing because of their studies, family, etc., and those without perseverance may not be interested in a few months. They regard this as a toy that can drive two laps for nothing, which is similar to the mentality of later generations of spending money to drive a kart in the amusement park, but the price is much more expensive, but on the other hand, driving a kart here is much more exciting than an amusement park.
If one or two top seedlings appear, they will be sent to a more professional Europe for training, so the strength of the students of the Fengfeng Club has always been at a low level.
This is also a reality that there is no way to do it. After all, Hong Kong Island is a small place. Before the mainland motorsports develop, it has no way to generate economies of scale and can only go to more powerful places to train.
The overall low strength of the students will lead to Zhang Yifei not being stimulated by a strong opponent in the club and having no room for improvement. Previously, Lu Ningping estimated that Zhang Yifei would have to train at the Wind Chasing Club for more than half a year and enter the equation step by step through karting events.
But now it seems that my plan can no longer keep up with the changes in Zhang Yifei's strength. The Wind Chasing Club may not be suitable for Zhang Yifei, so I have to help him find a stronger club to train.
Generally, the number of laps in a normal F1 event is around 60 laps, and the number of laps in a kart is also according to the specifications, at 15 laps or more. But now after two or three laps, Zhang Yifei surpasses all opponents, and the gap continues to widen, and has lost the meaning of a simulated competition.
However, Lu Ningping did not call for a stop. Although it was not meaningful for a race, he could practice Zhang Yifei's overtaking skills when running laps with his opponent. He had been running laps alone for too long and needed to adapt to this situation where other drivers competed.
After fifteen laps, the simulation competition was over. The excited elementary school students were dejected at this time. They knew that Zhang Yifei was very strong, but in a real match, the fastest was thrown by Zhang Yifei half a lap, and the slowest was more than one lap. This gap was still very uncomfortable.
The kart was parked in the rest area, and Zhang Yifei got off the car with a relaxed look on his face. He got used to driving a 250cc super kart. This 100cc entry-level kart felt like a toy, and Zhang Yifei drove it casually.
"Uncle Lu, how about it? Is it okay to run?"
"It's okay to force it."
"No, it's almost a lap on average, it's just barely?"
Zhang Yifei originally thought of complimenting a few words, but it seemed that Uncle Lu didn't have this idea.
"Otherwise, don't look at their average age only 13 years old, and how old are you?"
This sentence blocked Zhang Yifei directly. Why did it seem like he was hitting Nanshan Nursing Home and Beihai Kindergarten by himself?
Looking at Zhang Yifei's frustrated look, Lu Ningping said with a smile on his face at this time: "Why, I feel unconvinced? Since that's the case, do you want to experience a faster speed?"
"There is a faster speed? Uncle Lu, why didn't you get a Formula Racing car?"
"Even if you get a Formula car and let you run alone is boring. Do you have any idea to develop abroad?"
“Foreign, Europe?”
"Um."
