167 Overtaking on a corner

For Formula racing, the most intense time periods are always the starting and ending. The former is because it is to seize the turn 1 route, and the racing car is easy to squeeze into a ball and cause track accidents.

After all, these days, we are watching speed and passion, and accidents are also one of the exciting scenes. You should know that this kind of live-action collision is performed by a super high speed collision, and you can't see it in other places...

The final excitement is that as the fuel tank gradually becomes empty, the speed of the car will become faster, and the race time is about to end. If you don’t try your best to catch up, the ending will be destined, so the final stage is also the time for drivers to chase after.

All drivers started to speed up, Zhang Yifei even hung on six gears, then stepped on the accelerator to the bottom, and the speed directly hit the speed limit of 260km/h.

This extreme speed allowed Zhang Yifei to catch up with Suarez's racing wake. Without air resistance, Zhang Yifei's speed could be further accelerated.

Formula racing is different from many people’s perception, that is, the car behind is always faster than the car ahead!

The reason is that the car ahead will have great air resistance at high speed. Even if the aerodynamics of the F1 race car reach the top level, in order to take care of the safety of the driver, there is no way to fully enclose the cockpit. In addition, driving at high speed, the air resistance to counteract is still exaggerated.

However, as the car ahead breaks the airflow, a wake flow will form at the rear of the car, or even a small-scale vacuum.

As long as the rear vehicle enters the wake, the resistance will be greatly reduced. Then, with the help of the low-pressure suction effect, take the opportunity to change lanes and throw the vehicle out, and the speed will suddenly increase. This effect is also called the "slingshot effect" in f1.

Although the Renault 2000 racing car does not have the exaggerated speed of F1 and can form an exaggerated relative vacuum zone at the rear of the car, there are still low-pressure zones. As long as you can eat the wake of the car in front, you will have the chance to overtake.

This is why, many times when watching racing, the car in front will suddenly change lanes when the car in front of you, just don’t want the car in the back to eat its own wake comfortably.

At the same time, this lane change will also make the wake flow very messy. In this way, the rear car will not only fail to achieve acceleration effects, but even the operation will be affected due to the chaotic airflow.

Suarez saw Zhang Yifei following him from the rearview mirror. He immediately understood Zhang Yifei's intention to overtake, and he also stepped on the heavy accelerator and accelerated wildly.

After running so many laps and Zhang Yifei followed so many laps behind his car, Suarez did not treat Zhang Yifei as a rookie at all. He knew that he could bite his driver tightly and his strength should not be underestimated.

As Zhang Yifei launched an attack, the two drivers began to compete fiercely on the corners. Suarez was more familiar with this track than Zhang Yifei. The route of each turn was extremely accurate, and it was very difficult to overtake.

This is true professional competitions. Everyone is one of the strongest drivers in the world. It is impossible to abuse the food. Overtaking is a very time-intensive process.

"Flying on the track has already shaken Kubica's pursuit and has eaten the wake of Suarez in the car ahead. And judging from the flying movement, he wants to surpass Suarez in the car ahead."

"This action reminds me of the interview with driver Fei before the race. He said that he was 100% sure to get on the podium. It seems that Fei was not arrogant and surpassed Kubica. He planned to continue to challenge Suarez. I wonder which Chinese driver will be in the final result?"

When Red saw Zhang Yifei's operation, his tone became excited. Racing always pursues speed and passion, not conservative results.

Even if he can already stand on the podium, he still chooses to surpass his opponent. This is what Red values. Today, this Chinese newcomer has really given him too many surprises!

The audience was not as excited as Red, because letting Zhang Yifei get on the podium was undoubtedly a slap in the face.

Before the game, I looked down on the newcomer Zhang Yifei, thinking that the Chinese guy was too arrogant, and even a rookie dared to say that he was on the podium?

As a result, it is basically a foregone conclusion that Zhang Yifei has stepped onto the podium. Kubica can no longer keep up with Zhang Yifei's speed, and the gap between the two has been widened.

"Fuck, is this Chinese guy so strong? He has stable rankings for so many laps. Now he has plans to go further. Why don't I know that China has a foundation in Formula Racing?"

"There is a big deal. This kid is training in Japan. He must have concealed the event records and pretended to be a newcomer!"

"What are the benefits of doing this? And there are drivers' race records in Fia races, how can I hide it?"

"How do I know? Anyway, Chinese guys can't have this level!"

Many viewers at the scene were in a state of not listening or chanting scriptures. Even if the facts were right in front of them, these people still did not think that Zhang Yifei was capable and always wanted to prove from all aspects that Chinese drivers could lead by taking advantage of opportunistic means.

But unfortunately, there may be a bonus on the track, but luck alone will be surpassed soon.

Zhang Yifei followed Suarez for more than a circle and never found a good opportunity. It was at this time that the voice of Yamamoto Ukyo came from the headset.

"Yifeijun, Suarez was at Ascari Bend on the 12th lap, and there was an inaccurate route. If you want to surpass him, you can consider putting the overtaking location in Ascari Bend and grabbing his mistake."

Ascari Bend is another very famous continuous curve in Monza Track in addition to Turn 1.

Before entering the bend, you need to brake and slow down with all your strength, and then turn according to the left and right tangent line. When you pass the corner center, the speed will drop very low, about 70km/h from turn 1.

Many drivers will choose this corner to seize a better route to make a detour, or overtake while their opponents slow down.

The reason why Zhang Yifei was able to eat Suarez's wake was because he made a mistake in turning from right to left on the 12th lap, and the brakes were heavy and the speed was too low.

But Suarez did not make such a mistake in the next two laps. He performed very well before he pushed Zhang Yifei behind the car.

However, this slight mistake was detected by Yukyo Yamamoto. Now it has been lap 14, with only a few minutes left before the end of the game. Suarez has no major problems in other corners, or he has not been discovered by Yukyo Yamamoto.

So if Zhang Yifei wants to overtake, he can only seize the opportunity of Ascari Bend. Otherwise, when entering the last two laps, the tires will be worn seriously and the grip will begin to decline, the risk of overtaking will be greater. Suarez is not a good rookie.

"I see."

Zhang Yifei replied, then focused all his attention on Suarez, waiting for the opportunity to enter Ascari Bend.

He is no longer satisfied with ranking third, Suarez is the next driver to be surpassed by himself!

With less than 4 minutes left before the countdown on the track, the lap has reached the fifteenth lap.

Zhang Yifei and Suarez bit very tightly, but the tangent line of Suarez in the previous few corners was fine. He did not give Zhang Yifei any chance to overtake and pressed him tightly behind the car.

Soon, the two of them arrived in front of Ascari Bend. At this moment, the distance between the two people's cars could be calculated in centimeters!

Suarez felt the roaring sound of the engine from far to near behind him, and only half of Zhang Yifei's body could be seen in the rearview mirror.

Experience tells Suarez that the Chinese boy behind him has made all preparations to overtake, and it is very likely that it is the tangent point of the second bend in the Ascari Bend!

No! I can't be surpassed by a Chinese novice!

Suarez only had this idea in his mind. Unlike Masa and Kubica, he did not have a brilliant kart record. If he wanted to gain a foothold in the "gifted family" team of the Formula Elementary Equity, he could only rely on his own strength!

Results are a proof of strength. Although the top three are good, they are surpassed by a Chinese newcomer, which will hit fame severely.

The drivers participating in the competition today dare not say anything, at least 90% of them, and before the race, they looked down on Zhang Yifei, a Chinese novice.

Even though Zhang Yifei won the fourth place in the qualifying race, Formula Racing has always been a circle of wealthy families and rich people since the kart stage. It is difficult for Asia's strongest Japanese drivers to integrate into it, let alone Chinese drivers like Zhang Yifei.

It is difficult to change other people's opinions when the strength is not strong enough to resist, let alone Zhang Yifei does not have the ability to do so.

Suarez did not allow himself to be surpassed by Chinese novices, which would affect his sponsorship in the Prema Team, so he gritted his teeth and delayed the brake time before entering the corner to ensure that his speed would not exceed Zhang Yifei behind him.

But he forgot that Zhang Yifei is a macho man who dares not let go of the accelerator and overtakes by just delaying the brakes, can Zhang Yifei's speed be blocked by just delaying the brakes?

Of course the answer is no. Zhang Yifei not only did not slow down, but even accelerated to catch up with Suarez and entered the Ascari Bend side by side with him.

This scene made the live director lock the camera on Zhang Yifei and Suarez. He usually chased after him so crazy, just to overtake on this curve.

Looking at the director's screen, Zhang Yifei's team members in the repair station were also nervous about the overtaking action.

In fact, as long as the last two laps are completed, Zhang Yifei will fulfill his promise to get on the podium and have no worries.

But Yamamoto Ukyo still conveyed the information of overtaking, and Zhang Yifei chose to overtake without hesitation. This is the true professional racing spirit. Never stop that transcendent heart until the last moment!

Because of nervousness, He Ziling subconsciously clenched her fists. She knew the risks and accidents of racing. He Lang even lie in the hospital for a few months because of a racing accident.

To be honest, she didn't know why she was so nervous. Was she worried about this guy's safety?

No, it must not be like this. It is because of the influence of the surrounding environment and atmosphere that I will become nervous and worried.

He Ziling secretly made an excuse for herself, and the offensiveness and edge of Zhang Yifei on the track allowed her to see the other side of this boy, Zhang Yifei who was completely different from the school.

The Ascari Bend is a continuous bend. First, the first bend is the right bend. Because Suarez's entry brake allowed Zhang Yifei to insert from the left, and finally reached a situation where the two cars were side by side.

However, Zhang Yifei's turn-in speed is greater than Suarez. Even if he brakes harder after entering the turn, the inertia caused by turning is far greater than that of his opponent.

At this time, Zhang Yifei's racing car kept approaching the right, and there was even a scratch on the side of the tires of the two racing tires for a moment!

Just when everyone was watching this scene nervously and thought that an accident would occur, the right bend had passed, Zhang Yifei went to the left and slammed the steering wheel, and the tangent line entered the second left bend of Ascari bend.

The order of tangents of the left bend is from right to left, but Zhang Yifei has seized the advantageous position on the left and completely blocked Suarez's turn tangent. He has no way to find the most perfect tangent to surpass Zhang Yifei's turn.

There are not many choices left for Suarez at this moment. Either the floor oil accelerates overtake Zhang Yifei, but this will 100% break out of the track. Or the brakes are overtaken, but no driver will be willing to be overtaken in the final stage.

In fact, Suarez has a third option, which is to force the steering wheel to turn left and collide with Zhang Yifei. But the problem is that changing lanes in the brake area is not allowed. If it is serious, the organizing committee will have the right to impose penalties on the penalty even cancel the competition.

Unless there are championship battles or grievances in professional events, such malicious car crashes are rarely seen.

Without any hesitation, the vehicle with a natural advantage by cutting the inside line from right to left. When it entered the left corner of the combined bend, Zhang Yifei surpassed Suarez's front and came to the second position, pressing him behind the car.

"pretty!"

"Yo Xi!"

"Fei Brother nb!"

Various cheering sounds sounded in the repair station, and many people even jumped up excitedly. Zhang Yifei's combination of overtaking was so beautiful. The whole process was simply flowing, and it completely reached the limit of racing control.

Seriously speaking, Suarez's turn was perfect this time, and he did not make the mistake of inaccurate routing in the 12th lap and was not well controlled by the brake timing. He was still surpassed by Zhang Yifei with more perfect control. This represents hard strength!

Suarez stared at the car in front of him blankly. He couldn't believe his eyes. This Chinese newcomer actually achieved the ultimate transcendence and put himself behind the car.

“good!”

Even Red, who was in the commentary seat, stood up excitedly. The basic formula of Renault 2000 rarely has such beautiful overtaking on the curve.

Moreover, if the opponent does not make any mistakes, he surpasses with his hard power. Does this mean that Chinese drivers have reached the level of European drivers, or even first-class?

"When the Chinese driver flew on lap 15, he completed his surpassing Suarez. Now the order of results has changed again. Masa is the first one and the second one is the second one is the second one."

"I was shocked by his driving skills. I couldn't believe it. This is a pure newcomer who has participated in Formula races for the first time!"

"But we can also see that Suarez did not choose to give up. He still followed Fei closely and wanted to overtake him again."
