Zhang Yifei began to speed up wildly and made some aggressive overtaking actions. Yamamoto Ukyo on the sidelines naturally saw it.

He subconsciously reached his hand to the call button on his headphones, hesitating whether to call Zhang Yifei to stop his high-risk driving behavior.

But in the end, Yukyo Yamamoto put his hands down. Formula racing was not F1, and there were no steps to change tires and refuel, so there were many tactical strategies. Today was Zhang Yifei's first Formula game, Yukyo Yamamoto did not intend to intervene too much.

Because for a novice, your excessive intervention may not necessarily have a positive effect, but will make the driver feel confused.

This feeling is like playing a game. The novice is already a dish, and there is a bb machine next to it to guide you crazy. The novice is only a little dish, but he will not beat you any longer because he is confused.

Of course, racing cannot use such exaggerated metaphors, but Yamamoto Ukyo restrained his idea of ​​guiding Zhang Yifei to drive and chose to believe Zhang Yifei's own judgment.

Turn 1 starts to enter the corner because all racing cars will slow down here, resulting in the word "crowding" in the corner. There is no choice at all. As long as you try to avoid collision events, it is good.

Now Zhang Yifei suddenly understood why Masa chose to seize the outside line instead of turning from the shortest route on the inside. It was his experience in gambling karting for many years. He would rather take a detour than get stuck with other drivers, so the speed would be even lower.

Zhang Yifei didn't squeeze into the inside line. He braked his left foot and the right foot accelerator, constantly increasing and decreasing gears to avoid other racing cars beside him. Many times, from a distance, the two racing cars were like they were about to collide together, and the process was full of thrills.

This is also the driving method of professional racing cars and ordinary civilian cars. Generally, the normal way to drive grocery cars is to clutch the left foot, brake or accelerator on the right foot.

If you drive a high-performance sports car or go to the track, before changing the automatic transmission or serial transmission, it becomes a left-foot clutch, and the right foot brakes and accelerator at the same time. This is the so-called heel-toe action.

But when you enter the real professional racing stage, the clutch will only be used in the initial stage. During the race, you will directly brake the left foot and the right foot accelerator, so that you can drive as quickly as possible.

Of course, this is just a way to drive a car. If you manually drive the left foot and brake the right foot throttle at home, it is a very dangerous driving method.

Because in the face of sudden emergencies, it is easy to step on both feet at the same time, especially in some early cars, where there was no brake priority system and pressed on the brake and accelerator at the same time. The braking force cannot compete with the engine torque and inertia, and will still accelerate and crash.

However, with the development of automotive electronic systems in later generations, they were basically equipped with a brake priority system. When the brake and accelerator were pressed, the vehicle still forced to slow down. However, this is not recommended for driving with left foot brake and right foot accelerator.

There were the largest number of cars in the middle position. Zhang Yifei passed through Turn 1 in an extremely thrilling manner, but he glanced at the rearview mirror from the corner. Just after he turned, three Renault racing cars were colliding in a series and rushed into the corner buffer zone.

Unlike F1 racing, Renault 2000 European Cup can only be regarded as a primary formula, and the driver's level is uneven.

The amazing ones are like Kimi and Masa, who swept the karting event, then swept the Renault series and quickly entered the F1 team.

Some of the dishes are students or paid drivers, and their strength can only be described as very ordinary. Any event is a big wave and the average level of primary events cannot be compared with Formula One. The accident rate of Formula Renault is quite high.

It was precisely because of this collision that the track divided two obvious groups, and the first tier team successfully turned the corner and began to lead the way. The drivers in the last tier were forced to slow down because of the middle tier.

This has made the front, middle and back three driver groups now become the front and back two, and Zhang Yifei has become the rear position of the first group's crane.

However, these drivers are not very anxious. After all, the race system is the fastest lap speed in half an hour, so it is not a problem to fall behind. As long as you have a lap, you can perform at your own level.

At the same time, because the speed of Turn 1 is very slow, the accident is not serious. In addition, all three cars rushed out of the track and entered the buffer sand. The racers did not dispatch safety guidance vehicles to press the vehicles, and the competition was still going on normally.

Turn 2 and Turn 3, one by one, and the entire team was pulled into a long snake formation. Many drivers deliberately slowed down and distanced themselves from other racing cars. In this way, they could have enough room to play when the next lap was waiting, which was also a kind of tactic.

But at this moment, there are several racing cars that are far apart from the first echelon. These are the drivers that Takeda Junko asked Zhang Yifei to pay attention to before. Suarez of the No. 6 Prema team, Makina of the No. 15 Mano team, and Kubica, the future F1 driver of the No. 22 Car.

Adding a No. 3 car, Masa, they seemed to compete with each other, constantly increasing their speed to prove their strength.

These are sponsored by professional teams, and have a rich experience in karting racing, and have been fighting on various tracks all year round.

Therefore, their driving skills and experience are not on the same level as other contestants. Just like Zhang Yifei, a pure rookie who participated in the professional Formula for the first time, even if he had two lifetimes of racing experience, he was not necessarily better than a driver like them who participated in karting events at a few years old.

Zhang Yifei's two lifetimes of professional racing experience have not been ten years in total. Many drivers here, if you include kart racing, there are really many who have been nearly ten years of career.

In this way, the distance between Zhang Yifei and the leaders was gradually shifted away, but his mentality was still very stable and he was not in a hurry.

For a professional driver, the most important psychological quality of calmness on the track, because negative emotions such as impatience, anger, etc. will affect your judgment.

Faced with a speed of hundreds of kilometers per hour, a slight distraction will cause serious consequences, and he must calmly judge all situations.

Ah Hu on the sidelines was not as calm as Zhang Yifei. This was the first time he watched Formula Racing. Even though he knew the competition system, he was a little anxious when he saw Zhang Yifei falling behind. He couldn't help but speak, "Why are Brother Fei getting more and more behind? Come on!"

"It doesn't matter if you fall behind, speed is the most important thing. This is the first lap and the race has just begun."

Junko Takeda replied indifferently, it is very common to fall behind in the first lap of a professional competition. Not to mention the qualifying competition, even if it is behind in the main competition, there is nothing to worry about.

Moreover, there are many strong players in this competition, and there are nearly ten of them who have won the championship in the kart series, so Toyota's expectations for Zhang Yifei are not high. As long as they can run into the main race, they will be successful.

Although Zhang Yifei is far away from the strongest drivers, he remains in the top ten in the first echelon, which has exceeded previous expectations.

Just after Junko Takeda finished speaking, the first lap of the race rankings came from the maintenance station display. The fastest lap was not Masa, because he fell too far behind in the starting position, but Suarez, the No. 6 driver from the Prema Racing Team.

His first lap speed was 1 minute 59 seconds 273. The track record of this speed was nearly five seconds slower, even slower than Zhang Yifei's test run lap.

But Zhang Yifei's first lap was slower. His result passed the starting line was 2 minutes 02 seconds 115, ranking ninth among all drivers.

In the first lap, it is generally affected by the tire temperature and oil weight, which are one of the slowest lap times in the race.

Moreover, there were too many departures this time. In the early stage, everyone was forced to brake and slow down at various points, so the results were generally slow. If Zhang Yifei had not passed Turn 1 by surprise, if he was blocked behind, he might have been slower in lap speed by three seconds.
