133 Huge boost
As a pure newcomer Formula driver, Zhang Yifei had a poor foundation before, after all, kart training only lasted a few months. Therefore, after being evaluated by Toyota's physical fitness teacher, the physical training in the early stage should be more important than practical operation training.
So in the next period of time, Zhang Yifei spent most of his time on various physical training, and then he spent two to three hours a day to practice on the track.
Compared with previous kart training, the intensity of Toyota Youth Training Camp can be said to have doubled. Fortunately, Zhang Yifei's advantage is that he can endure hardships. No matter how tired he is, he can grit his teeth and persevere. This surprised Takeda Junko.
She thought that Zhang Yifei had not received formal equation training and was likely to be unable to withstand this high-intensity rhythm in the early stage, but she didn't expect that this little Chinese guy was much tougher than she thought.
In these few days, Zhang Yifei became a little familiar with the other three drivers. The two Japanese kart drivers had the fastest record in the competition track by about fifteen seconds, so they just passed the trial training and did not become the signing drivers, but the youth training students.
This also has to do with the current strength and fame of the Toyota youth training team. It is impossible to attract the strongest group of talented drivers to come for trial training. Just like Zhang Yifei, if it weren't for the European Driver Academy, he wouldn't have settled for the second best to come to the Toyota youth training camp.
As for Australian Hank, this guy actually met the standard of running formulas at European Drivers Academy. However, Toyota team provided a contract with good treatment. He was given a basic salary of 30,000 US dollars in the Elementary Formula stage, as well as a priority scholarship and other conditions. In the end, he chose to come to Tokyo, Japan.
Even though 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 he is not of the same level as Asian drivers like Zhang Yifei and others.
In fact, there is another factor in Hank's attitude, that is, Zhang Yifei's test scores are better than him, which makes him feel very unhappy, so he has a hostility towards Zhang Yifei.
As time passed day by day, Zhang Yifei soon arrived at the Toyota youth training team for more than half a month.
It can be said that the more than half a month of professional training has greatly improved Zhang Yifei, and even some levels that were not reached in his previous life are very close to the Toyota track.
After all, Zhang Yifei became a monk in his previous life, and was born in a wild way. He had never experienced top vocational training, so he was still so bad. So he had been able to gangsters in the domestic rally stadium. He finally got the opportunity to go to Europe for a trial training and came to this world again.
The physical changes are even more obvious. Zhang Yifei has been exercising in high intensity a few months ago. In the past half month, he received guidance from a professional physical fitness teacher. In addition, the nutritionist ensures that the nutritionist needs every day can be said to have a completely transformed change from the body half a year ago.
The body is not as strong as a fitness muscular man, 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 150 times per minute, and the starting stage is close to 170 times, while the average heartbeat value per minute for a normal man is only about 80 times.
The fast heartbeat is not a heart problem, but because the car has a high G-value and heavy pressure, and the mental stress is high, the brain needs stronger blood supply. You should know that among F1 drivers, even if they have poor rankings, the average heartbeat of the race is around 160 times (excluding the time for refueling and repairs entering the station), and the starting heartbeat will be as high as 190 times per minute!
Therefore, any F1 driver must have extremely strong cardiopulmonary functions. It is not unreasonable for many people to call F1 drivers "land astronauts".
Now Zhang Yifei's fastest lap in Toyota track has been set in 1 minute and 30 seconds, less than six seconds from the track record of 1 minute and 24 seconds and 23 set by Japanese F3 champion Takuro Sato.
You should know that this is only a result of less than a month of training. If Zhang Yifei's neck muscles are stronger and he spends more time on the track to practice, in three months, according to the prediction of data analyst Ukyo Yamamoto, the gap with the track record will be within three seconds.
The gap within three seconds is already an extremely terrifying result for a newcomer who has not run any professional Formulas. If this prediction is really achieved, Zhang Yifei can already participate in various Formula Elementary Competitions.
However, any improvement will slower and slower as it goes to the future. Whether Zhang Yifei can really achieve this amazing prediction will take three months to see whether he will see it.
During lunch that day, Zhang Yifei's cell phone rang. Recently, his cell phone rarely used. One reason was that the training intensity was too high and there was no time to check the phone. Another point was that the international long-distance international distance was too expensive, even if Zhang Yifei's Hong Kong Island phone card could not bear it, he would have fewer phone calls in order to save money.
The caller ID is 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 to gather."
Xie Tiancheng has always spoken directly, without any polite twists and turns, which is more in line with Zhang Yifei's personality.
"No problem, but I'm not very familiar with Tokyo, so I'm going to make an appointment with a more famous place."
Zhang Yifei came to Tokyo and said seriously for more than half a month, but in fact, except for the hotel before, he had never even gone out of the gate of the youth training base.
After all, he has no familiarity in Japan and doesn't know where to go when he goes out. As for other drivers at the youth training base, he has no common topics with the Japanese, and he can't pee a pot with the white Hank. It's better to stay in the base and do more physical training.
"I'll pick you up tonight and just talk about time."
Zhang Yifei calculated the time. He usually finished training at six o'clock, had to eat and exercise at night, and finally took a shower and went out. At the fastest time, he had to prepare for three hours.
"At 9:30, I'll come to Tokyo's test lot before I go to Toyota."
“Ok.”
At 9:30 pm, Zhang Yifei walked out of the Toyota Youth Training Base. A Nissan GTR was parked on the side of the road at the door. Xie Tiancheng still leaned against the car door and smoked next to the car door.
"Didn't you say you're going to be a career in the future? It's better to draw less."
When he was in Hong Kong Island, Xie Tiancheng planned to compete in the Japanese Super RV event, which was also the event where his master Rio Suzuki once won the championship.
Just like F1 drivers need strong cardiopulmonary functions, RV racing also requires it, but the standards are slightly lowered. Cigarettes have a great impact on cardiopulmonary functions, even more serious than drinking. If you really plan to compete in a professional position and stand in the championship seat, then you must strictly demand yourself.
Hearing Zhang Yifei's words, Xie Tiancheng smiled and then extinguished the cigarette butt in his hand.
"Congratulations yet, I've successfully tried to become a Toyota youth training driver."
"Don't talk about these false things, what's the best thing for youth training drivers? Is there anything going on at night?"
"It's nothing, it's just a gathering, and you can take you to experience the racing culture in Japan."
“Where to go?”
