Renault staff led Zhang Yifei to a new car without a number and said to him: "This is the car you will use in the race. If you have no problem checking, sign on the rental contract."

Because Zhang Yifei has technical support from the European Toyota Racing Organization, he did not purchase Renault's racing services, so he had more acceptance steps. Otherwise, all these things could be handed over to Renault. As long as the racing car is not damaged by humans, they are warranted.

In a sense, it is similar to buying a car by yourself.

The structure of Formula racing is relatively simple, and static inspection cannot tell the faults of the engine and gearbox. Therefore, the acceptance mainly depends on whether the air parts are bumped during transportation and whether the lines and chassis structures are damaged.

Yamamoto Ukyo is Zhang Yifei's racing engineer. Before the Toyota technical team arrived, he handled all racing matters. And Chen Zhi and Ah Hu also leaned over, and basic vehicle inspections were not a problem for them.

The acceptance process was very fast, Yamamoto Ukyo nodded to Zhang Yifei, saying that there was no problem. Since the competition engineers were sure, Zhang Yifei also signed his daimyo directly on the lease contract.

From this moment on, the right to use this Formula Renault racing car belongs to Zhang Yifei.

After getting the racing car, Zhang Yifei drove the car directly to the same rental repair station, where he adjusted the power parts and suspension of the racing car.

Monza Racing is a high-speed track and currently ranks second in the average speed of the F1 track. By the time the Hoganheim Racing in Germany is renovated in 2002, Monza Racing will win the title of F1 fastest track.

Therefore, in the F1 event, the maximum speed of Monza Track can exceed 350kh, and even the average speed exceeds 240kh, which is a very crazy speed.

The Renault 2000 racing car can naturally be far less than the F1, but on this track, the average speed will be as high as 180kh. You should know that the average speed of F3 champion Sato Takuma was less than 160kh at the Toyota Youth Training Base.

Of course, such a huge gap in average speed is related to the track design. The Monza Track only has seven curves and has two very long straights, which can speed up the speed of Formula cars as much as possible, thereby increasing the average speed.

"High-speed tracks require hard suspension and lower pressure to reduce the grip of the tires. Because once you pass the corner, there is a crazy acceleration of the long straight. The lower the downforce, the lower the grip of the tires will decrease, so the faster the acceleration will be, and avoid being overtaken by people in the straight."

Yamamoto Ukyo squatted beside the racing car with a tool, adjusting the suspension and air parts of the racing car while explaining the principle.

At the same time, Junko Takeda also performs synchronous translation in Chinese. Since Chen Zhi and Ah Hu will temporarily join the maintenance team in the future, from now on, we must understand the machinery and working principles of Formula Racing.

Chen Zhi and Ah Hu leaned against the car and listened carefully to Yukyo Yamamoto's explanation. In fact, simple hardware-level maintenance is not a big problem for them.

Even if Yamamoto Ukyo asks them to directly adjust the suspension, they can definitely rely on themselves to explore and complete the adjustment in a short time.

This is just like Zhang Yifei, who first came into contact with Formula Racing at Toyota Youth Training Camp. He is very good at how to shift gears and accelerate on the track and how to choose cornering. As long as he is familiar with the career and speed of Formula Racing, all the problems will be solved.

What Zhige and Ah Hu lacks at present is the principle of Formula Racing and the track. They know what to do after getting started, but they don’t know why they should do this. This is their blind spot in knowledge and need to follow the Formula Team to accumulate experience a little bit.

However, Zhang Yifei frowned because of one thing, that is, they both had poor English.

Zhi Ge is better. He understands some professional parts words, after all, he is half a professional. Ah Hu is a typical domestic master-apprentice inheritance. Without the translation of Junko Takeda, he would not even be able to guess half-make half-guess.

Whether admitted or not, the racing technology of this era was ruled by Europe, just like the famous saying "Learn from the strengths of the barbarians to control the barbarians". If you don't even know English, you will be completely unable to integrate into Formula racing, let alone become a maintenance technician.

Zhang Yifei muttered in his heart: It seems that after going back, this problem needs to be solved.

The suspension and aerodynamic parts were adjusted quickly. After Yamamoto Yukyo put down the tool, he came to Zhang Yifei and said: "Yifeijun, the suspension hardness increases, so that the roll will be reduced when cornering at high speed. In addition, the downforce brought by the air parts is also lowered, and the acceleration will be faster after cornering."

"But also pay attention to the reduction in tire grip. It is very likely that the speed of rushes out of the track too quickly, and you must grasp the brake timing very accurately before entering the corner."

"I see."

Zhang Yifei nodded. He was very familiar with the principles of these changes, and at least he had run many field races.

Many young people in China like to add a tail wing to their cars, change the air surrounds or something.

To be honest, apart from the appearance, it is not very practical.

Because aerodynamics is a very complex science, it requires very top engineering experts to pass wind tunnel testing to find the appropriate airflow route. Unless it is calculated by the original factory, the large encirclement cannot reasonably divert the flow.

Another thing is the tail wing. This kind of thing presses the air down when the car is driving at high speed, forming a downforce on the car, pressing it tightly on the road surface, improving the car's control and stability.

To form enough downforce, you must have a very fast speed, at least 120kh above, so that the tail wing will show the effect. The faster the speed, the more obvious the effect.

In this current environment in China, 120kh is the upper limit of speed, and most modified car owners rarely go to the track. Therefore, the large tail wing does not greatly improve. On the contrary, some small-displacement cars will increase wind resistance and destroy the air channels calculated by the original factory through wind tunnels, which will have some side effects.

"The change in suspension and air downforce is just a cold number. Whether it is suitable for the track and drivers, it needs to go to the field to test the run."

"Yifeijun, are you ready?"

Yamamoto Ukyo also looked at Zhang Yifei with anticipation because he had given them too many surprises at the Toyota Youth Training Base before.

Now this is the F1 track, one of the world's top tracks, and it is also a high-speed track. Yamamoto Ukyo really wants to see what Zhang Yifei has done on such a track.

"No problem, I'm ready."

The normal match of f1 is three days, there are two practice games on Friday, and the main match on weekends.

In practice, the trainer usually drives the race car and runs the lap, allowing the team engineers to evaluate the track and the driver's feedback, so that the best adjustments can be made to the racing power, transmission, suspension, and aerodynamic parts to get the best lap speed.

This is also the main job of the test drivers of the F1 team. After all, running the track is a sport that consumes a lot of physical strength and spirit. The test drivers are equivalent to sharing these pressures for the formal drivers.
