After the third lap, Zhang Yifei directly broke through the 1 minute and 48 second mark and arrived at the 1 minute and 47 second field recorded in the track.

The gap is no longer calculated in seconds, but becomes milliseconds. To be honest, even Yamamoto Ukyo and Takeda Junko were shocked in their hearts and did not dare to question Kossel's guidance at all.

After all, when Yamamoto Ukyo came to Berlin University of Technology to study racing engineering, Kossell had already left the McLaren team strategy group. Many things Yamamoto Ukyo himself heard of, and did not witness the strength of his mentor on the track with his own eyes.

It seems that the members of the championship team's strategy team are indeed far superior to those of themselves as "temporary" competition engineers.

The trial run continues, and this is how you challenge the limit. Once you succeed, this is no longer the limit, but you have to meet the next peak.

Zhang Yifei gradually began to adapt to this speed of dancing on the tip of the knife. He could improve by about 0.1 second in almost every lap in the next round, and marched towards the record of the Hoganheim Track's Elementary Formula.

Of course, this progress rate is gradually decreasing. After all, the closer it is to the record, the harder it is to improve.

The driver who can set records is definitely not a rookie. He has also experienced countless track challenges and defeated all opponents to have his own track record.

Five laps, ten laps, fifteen laps, and twenty laps. At this time, the fuel volume of the Renault Kart has dropped to a very low level. Compared with the first lap, the total weight of the entire car has been reduced by about 30kg, which is close to the weight of an older child.

After experiencing these twenty laps of training, Zhang Yifei was able to drive basically as Cosell's requirements, so his speed in this lap was very fast, surpassing any previous lap.

Kossel on the sidelines keenly felt the difference in speed in this lap. He asked Yamamoto Ukyo again, "How much is the lap speed?"

"1 minute 47 seconds 205, breaking through the fastest lap of the Hoganheim Track Formula, and it's a full 0.1 second faster!"

Yamamoto Ukyo was very excited at this time. If Zhang Yifei could maintain his current level during the official competition time, both the pole position and the championship would be strong enough to compete.

Of course, the test run results are in an absolutely ideal environment, without any other drivers interfering or competing for.

But in the same way, when the actual competition is played, the competition of other drivers will also stimulate Zhang Yifei's greater potential.

Many people are competition-type players. The more they are in the real arena, the better they may perform. At least from Yamamoto Ukyo, Zhang Yifei has an absolutely big heart. So far, he has not seen any fear or retreat from Zhang Yifei.

"The oil is almost worn out like the tires, so I'll end here today's trial run."

Zhang Yifei counted the preparation time and had been on the track for about an hour. You should know that it is now the high temperature of more than 30 degrees in summer.

The primary equation does not have a liquid water cooling system cycle, or in other words, there is no such high technology in this era. The cockpit temperature may reach an astonishing seventy or eighty degrees under the sun exposure and engine temperature transmission.

Even if there are heat-insulated racing suits and other equipment, the heat in the body is also difficult to transfer. For a Formula Elementary driver, a continuous hour of trial running exercises can be considered close to the limit of physical fitness.

"Yifeijun, the test run is here today. You can drive the car back to the repair station."

At this time, Yamamoto Ukyo also pressed the call button and asked Zhang Yifei to return to the maintenance station.

Generally, in the teamradio system in F1, there are many people who can hear drivers talking to the console, but only the top leaders such as competition engineers, chief technicians or team leaders are qualified.

But now it is only the primary equation stage, and there is not so much attention, and Cosel has already instructed him, so Yamamoto Ukyo called Zhang Yifei back directly.

"I see."

After hearing the words of Yamamoto Ukyo in the headset, after Zhang Yifei replied, he felt as if his energy was instantly drained. The rhythm before was too tense, and all his attention was on the track.

There is only every corner and the best route in my mind, thinking about how to be faster than 0.1 second.

Moreover, during the trial run, Cosell never said what his lap speed was, so Zhang Yifei was always very nervous, doubting whether he had a breakthrough in every lap.

"Youkyo, this weekend is the main competition. There should be no good time to try the run in the next few days. Let Fei take a good rest. Today's high-intensity test run will consume a lot of physical energy."

"I understand, mentor."

Yamamoto Ukyo nodded. He was not that strict when he was not on the track. He could feel his attention and concern for Yifeijun.

"By the way, do these two maintenance technicians don't understand English?"

Kossel directly looked at Ah Hu and Chen Zhi, and could clearly feel the dissatisfaction in his tone.

You should know that if Zhang Yifei can achieve outstanding results in Renault's European Cup this time, and with Kimi's "three-level jump" example, there is a high probability that advanced equations or even Formula One team will be favored by the team.

Once you enter the official fleet, it is not a small-scale scene today. Any fleet's requirements for technicians are the top in the world.

Take F1 as an example. Even the most ordinary tire technician must reach the level of changing tires within a few seconds.

Moreover, this is not just a person's level, but requires the cooperation of a whole team. Anyone's slight mistake will lead to the failure of the entire pitting process.

Therefore, communication is a must for a technician. This "nepotism" approach to enter the maintenance team is an act that Cosell opposed.

Formula technicians should have top professional standards!

"Yes, but they are studying hard."

Yamamoto Ukyo naturally understood the meaning of the instructor, and his tone was a little awkward, so he could only try his best to explain to Ah Hu and Chen Zhi.

During this period, Ah Hu and Chen Zhi have actually worked hard to learn English, and He Ziling has to spend more than four hours a day to help them with tutoring.

However, these two people have a poor cultural foundation and have no language talent. They have been in Europe for half a month and have made great progress. The team has tried every means, but reading is really not something that can be achieved overnight.

"Everyone will work hard, but the maintenance team only needs the most suitable one. I hope you and Fei understand this principle."

"Yifeijun can prove himself, and they can prove himself too."

This time, Yamamoto Ukyo did not agree with the mentor's opinion, but chose to object.

Although the contact between this period of time has not made much progress in language communication, he saw the efforts and maintenance talent of Ah Hu and Chen Zhi.

Yamamoto Ukyo firmly believes that if these two people can enter the F1 technical team, they will definitely become the best maintenance technicians. They cannot deny their future achievements because of their current shortcomings.

"Is that true? Then I'll choose to wait and see."

Kossel also did not make arbitrary decisions. He did not know what Ah Hu and Chen Zhi were. He just met two people who could not even be able to communicate with the most basic ones and would naturally think of whether there was a "back door".

But he believed in his students' vision, and Yamamoto Ukyo was able to stand up and speak for them, which means that these two Chinese maintenance technicians must have something worthy of recognition.

At this moment, Zhang Yifei's Formula Racing Car drove into the repair station. He got out of the car with sweat on his face. The first thing he did was to ask about his grades: "How is my fastest lap speed?"

Kossel is not like Ukyo Yamamoto. He told Zhang Yifei the fastest lap during the run, so he still doesn't know how much progress he has made.

“Pass.”

Cosel looked at Zhang Yifei and replied in a simple manner, without any excitement and surprise.

“Just pass the exam?”

Zhang Yifei was a little disappointed when he heard this. He was under pressure from Cosell's guidance on the track and felt that he had started to fight his life. As a result, he passed the exam without any pain. Could it be that he had not made any progress?

At this time, he looked at Yukyo Yamamoto, but found that he seemed quite excited, which made Zhang Yifei a little confused and so happy that he passed the level.

Just when Zhang Yifei was puzzled, Yukyo Yamamoto explained: "My mentor's passing standards are very high. Your last lap trial run broke the lap record of Hoganheim track."

"What?"

Now it was Zhang Yifei's turn to be stunned. He had no idea that he could break the fastest lap record in the track.

Because in the voice of the convoy, Kossel is simply a "pressure monster". Apart from asking for it to be faster, faster and fastest, there are basically no words of affirmation or encouragement, which makes Zhang Yifei feel no confidence from beginning to end.

Now I heard Yamamoto Ukyo say that he broke the track record and another feeling of seeing the light in his life again.

"Don't be too happy too early. The record of the Elementary Formula is for breaking. This is the end of today's trial run. I will go to the hotel where you live tomorrow to train you in racing."

Kossel had already obtained Zhang Yifei's driver information and resume from Ukyo Yamamoto, and knew that this Chinese boy had been in contact with kart for a very short time and had not received training in a truly advanced system.

Today, he had seen Zhang Yifei's strength and potential during the track trial. Since he decided to become his temporary competition engineer for half a month, he naturally had to fulfill his responsibilities.

So he plans to use his high standards to train Zhang Yifei and help him make up for some shortcomings in technology and knowledge.

Strictness is just the surface. Kossell is a teacher in both his identity and his inner self. He will do his best to help this Chinese boy achieve his dream of winning.

"Thank you, Mr. Cosell."

Zhang Yifei thanked him sincerely. Cosel himself has a temporary identity. If he can help him formulate some track strategies, he is already considered completing his job.

A coaching identity like today is in a sense "over the syllabus", and he will come to the hotel tomorrow to conduct racing training with himself, which has reached the Chinese "teacher" standard.
