177 Test run puncture
. , the latest chapter of the Car God Spokesperson is updated the fastest!
The ignition started, and Zhang Yifei drove from the maintenance channel to the track, and the roar of the engine began to resound.
Feeling the heat wave transmitted from the cockpit, Zhang Yifei realized that the engine's working condition was almost the same. He pushed it into one gear and loosened the clutch and replenished the oil. The engine speed instantly exceeded 8,000 revolutions.
There is no so-called burning tire in Formula racing. The moment the brake is released, the whole car rushed out, and a huge acceleration pushing back is coming, pressing Zhang Yifei tightly on the seat.
The reason why Hoganheim Raceway has become the fastest track in F1 in this era is that it has four long straights, especially the long straights that enter the forest at the beginning, and it has a 15-second throttle time.
Speaking of forests, this is also a feature of the Hoganheim Raceway, that is, when it was built, it was chosen to be in a forest clearing.
However, during the construction stage, we did not choose to cut down all the forest trees, but instead left a large part of the area.
Therefore, more than half of the routes of the Hoganheim Raceway are directed through the forest. Even the audience cannot see the specific situation on the track. They can only be understood through big screen broadcasts. Later, it became a landmark location of the Hoganheim Raceway.
After starting, the full throttle accelerated, and the gear was quickly pushed to sixth gear, and Renault racing quickly reached its limit of 260km/h.
The 15-second super-long floor oil time made Zhang Yifei feel the excitement brought by speed. To be honest, few tracks can achieve such extreme speed.
After the rush, the slow corner of the Monza Track will be encountered and that it must slow down significantly. The first one at Hoganheim Track is a left turn, and it is a high-angle high-speed turn.
With the performance of Renault racing, you can basically not even need to brake, just empty the accelerator and turn around the corner, and keep the speed at about 180km/h in the fourth gear.
High-speed bends may seem simple, but the tangent requirements for curves are extremely high. If there is a slight problem with the route selection, the opponent will seize the shorter turnover route to overtake the bend.
Moreover, at such a high speed, the reaction and selection time left for the driver is very short. Basically, it is based on the sense of driving and solid driving skills brought by normal practice, and there is no other shortcut to take.
The curve tangent has always been one of Zhang Yifei's strengths, so this kind of curve cannot be hindered. However, due to the tire temperature and grip, Zhang Yifei did not choose to turn the limit, and adopted a conservative strategy in the first lap.
The next two consecutive bends are basically the same as turn 1. This is the characteristic of the high-speed track. Basically, as long as the grip is sufficient and the tangent is perfect, you don’t even step on the brakes.
If it is an F1 racing car, it has a better air kit to bring strong downforce and can even go through corners with full throttle.
The full throttle time of the remodeled Hoganheim track is only 55%, but the current Hoganheim track has a full throttle time of up to 70%, allowing drivers to feel the ultimate speed.
Even Zhang Yifei is a little aware of this feeling. After all, becoming a professional driver is pursuing the stimulation brought by this speed.
Many times, even though you know that there is danger and even pay the price of your life, you still choose to kick the accelerator, because this sense of accomplishment after challenging the limits is really addictive.
After several high-speed bends passed one after another, I soon came to a hairpin bend. If the opponent was following the full throttle before, then this hairpin bend called Saches is when overtaking.
The angle of this hairpin bend is very small, almost 180 degrees of back bend. It is relatively rare in the F1 track and is also one of the most challenging locations on the Hoganheim track.
Before entering the corner, you need to reduce the speed to about 70km/h at 1st gear, and even the slowest speed when passing through the corner center, not even 60km/h.
This is a very test of the control of the brake point and the detour route. If the brake point is too early, it will be overwhelmed. If the brake point is too late, it will become a mess and be overwhelmed by the opponent.
Zhang Yifei had only read it from the information before, and this was his first time experiencing a hairpin bend on the F1 track.
There is no hairpin bend on the mountain road, and there is no possibility of drifting in Formula racing, which means you just need to turn the steering wheel and walk over.
Because he was really unfamiliar, and because of the first lap trial run, Zhang Yifei dropped his speed very low, basically the hairpin bend that passed by about 50km/h.
In addition to this Saches hairpin bend, there is also a short straight forward combination bend at Hoganheim Track, which is a combination bend with two bends plus a short straight.
When Zhang Yifei ran to Qixing Mountain in Guangshen, he was familiar with this short straight forward bend, but on the F1 track, this bend was also called a double bend.
And this curve, there is a name that is more familiar to the country in later generations. It is the same name as the anti-missile system that the US empire was not familiar with in Korea, but this name is very common in hopes.
In addition to these two difficult corners, there is also a No. 9 right-angle corner, and the others are some conventional high-speed corners. Basically, they are corners that can be passed through full throttle or loose throttle. As long as the bend route is controlled, it will be difficult for the rear car to surpass other routes.
After a trial run, Zhang Yifei was not fast, but he did not make any obvious mistakes, especially when choosing a detour route, he didn't look like a novice at all.
"Mentiko, how fast is Yifeijun's test run?"
"1 minute 50 seconds 26."
Junko Takeda reported the first lap test run timer. Because he was holding a stopwatch with his hand, he could only be accurate to two-digit milliseconds, and the error was relatively large. However, Zhang Yifei still achieved the lap speed of about 1 minute and 50 seconds.
Hearing this lap, Ukyo Yamamoto also opened the record of the Hoganheim track. The above f1 lap record was created by f1 player Damon Hill in 1996, and the time was 1 minute 25 seconds 256.
But Zhang Yifei is running the Renault Formula now. Compared with the one that can be more than 700p in horsepower, the Renault Racing has a big gap.
So the Hoganheim Track's primary formula record is 1 minute 47 seconds 317.
Zhang Yifei's lap speed at about 1 minute and 50 seconds now looks very different from the fastest lap record. But in fact, Zhang Yifei was just trying to run the hot beads, and because of the neutral tires, Zhang Yifei's speed was even lowered.
According to Yamamoto Ukyo's estimate, in Zhang Yifei's qualifying race, the fastest lap speed should be within 1 second of the current track record.
If the weather conditions were as sunny as expected during the two days of the competition, it would be very suitable to play the characteristics of neutral tire high speed, high temperature and high energy load, and might be extremely close to the track record or even surpass the fastest lap speed.
"Yifeijun's progress is amazing. When I tried the Monza Track last time, the gap between the fastest lap speed and the track record was almost three seconds. Now, just warming the beads has reached the level of the fastest lap speed before, which can be described as speed."
Yamamoto Ukyo sighed with great emotion. He had never seen any newcomer in Formula who could achieve the speed of progress like Zhang Yifei. As he said before, Zhang Yifei seemed to have evolved into the same mutation in every lap of practice and every game.
It is not the linear progress of ordinary new drivers. To put it more exaggeratedly, Zhang Yifei has achieved the effect of geometric multiple progress.
"It's really fast progress, but the last stop was Yifeijun's first contact with the Formula Track. He is a pure newcomer and is very unfamiliar in all aspects."
"This time I tried to run, I could clearly feel that Yifeijun had no sense of strangeness before, and he was more like an experienced driver. Naturally, he improved quickly."
After saying this, Junko Takeda suddenly felt that this set of words seemed to be no longer enough to describe Zhang Yifei's progress, so she added in a low voice: "It seems that it is indeed a bit too fast."
Zhang Yifei naturally didn't know about the discussion outside the paddock, but he could feel that he was becoming more and more proficient in the track.
This is different from the rejuvenating feel of the previous track race, but it is a feeling of using oneself to the racing car like an arm.
In other words, from this moment on, Zhang Yifei left the scope of his old job and began to use the physical fitness and racing experience of this world to drive this Formula Racing car.
To be honest, Zhang Yifei had always thought that others were geniuses, but he could only be regarded as a "cheater".
If you stand at the same starting line, can you really outperform these future F1 drivers at the "genius" level?
The answer is actually no. Zhang Yifei himself has no confidence. Without relying on his previous life experience, he has been training kart since childhood and is better than these talented drivers.
But now Zhang Yifei has a different feeling, that is, he is actually not bad. Even if he put aside his previous life experience, he has never been exposed to equation training for much time in his life.
If you really count all your career time, you may not be able to participate in karting events longer than Masa and others since childhood.
If you used to think that you were cheating, then now Zhang Yifei gradually felt that the improvement of his driving skills was the result of his training day and night.
Take the previous Toyota Youth Training Base as an example. It is no exaggeration to say that Zhang Yifei has put in double the effort of others. Whether it is the length of practice or the concentration of physical training, he really does not have a slight laziness. He just feels that he has lost the starting line and has to rely on hard work to recover.
When facing the opponent, although he also has the confidence to defeat the opponent, there is no doubt that Zhang Yifei is more confident now, and he has begun to truly recognize his strength!
The increase in the number of laps and the high temperature at noon in summer caused the tire temperature to rise very much, and soon achieved a grip effect close to the soft tire, which made Zhang Yifei's fastest lap speed steadily increase.
At this time, Zhang Yifei came to the Sachez hairpin bend in the tree-shaded land again, intending to challenge his limit to turn.
But just as he was turning, Zhang Yifei felt a muffled sound from his racing car, and then the whole car swayed wildly in the corner without control.
You should know that Zhang Yifei is planning to delay the brakes and challenge the limit in this circle, and the speed is close to 160km/h.
At such a high speed, the car that suddenly lost its steering control rushed directly towards the shoulder of the road and entered the sand and gravel isolation belt.
What Zhang Yifei can do now is to control the steering wheel tightly and then step on the brakes. After all, the suspension of Formula racing is so low that even if it is braked suddenly, you don’t have to worry about overturning or something unless you hit an obstacle.
