228 The panicked batch

.    , the latest chapter of the Car God Spokesperson is updated the fastest!

Let’s talk about it after running away? Hearing Cosell’s meaning, Zhang Yifei felt speechless in his heart. Is he treating himself as a test subject?

It’s really as Zhang Yifei thought, Kossel really doesn’t know how much super soft tires can improve on the Manicur Track. Only by letting Zhang Yifei run by can you get the data.

Because Kossel has only served the F1 team before, he has never even been in contact with the F3000 team, let alone the junior Renault racing car like Zhang Yifei.

According to the experience of using super soft tires in the F1 event, under normal circumstances, the grip decline period is about ten laps. Depending on the track type and speed changes, the number of laps used is also adjusted.

Renault junior racing cars are naturally slower than F1 racing cars, and the weight is relatively lighter. If the tire grip attenuation period can last until fifteen laps, it is worth taking risks. But the specific result is really something that will be done until Zhang Yifei finishes running.

After changing into super soft tires, Zhang Yifei started his 31st lap trial run. To be honest, this is also his first time using super soft tires to run the track.

After all, he was just a Toyota youth training student before. Renault's European Cup was the first official competition he participated in. He had not even run a few tracks. How could he go through these complicated track tire tests?

So in the first round of trial shot, Zhang Yifei did not choose to challenge the limit, but carefully felt the performance differences brought by the super soft tires, and allowed the tire temperature to increase and maintain good grip.

On the second lap after the tire change, Zhang Yifei began to feel the difference in performance of the tires. The most obvious feeling was that he had challenged the limit of the curve before. The slight tremor caused by the lack of grip on the tires disappeared, and the cornering became more stable.

The change in stability naturally made Zhang Yifei more confident in high-speed cornering, so starting from lap 33, Zhang Yifei challenged his track limits according to higher standards.

The goal this time is not to break the track record, but to crush the track record and leave other drivers far behind, so that they can only be forced to chase!

The 34th lap, the 35th lap... The number of lap is constantly rising, and time is also passing by minute by minute.

This is the first time Zhang Yifei has such a high-intensity continuous test run. It is not only a test of driving skills, but also a huge pressure on his body. However, at this moment, Zhang Yifei's mental power is highly concentrated and he dare not slackew at all.

Because every lap of his body is almost stuck at the limit of cornering speed, any mistake in routing will most likely rush out of the track.

I have already rushed out once before, but it is difficult to perform twice. Even if the person is not injured, the front suspension of the car may not be able to withstand such conflicts. Maybe tire locking will occur if the brakes are sudden.

Therefore, Zhang Yifei should avoid it as much as possible, and make a mistake like rushing out of the track and happening again.

Two more laps passed. When Zhang Yifei finished lap 38 on the track, the fastest lap data on the monitoring screen was refreshed. This time, Zhang Yifei's fastest lap speed reached 1 minute 24 seconds 885, 0.5 seconds faster than the primary formula record of Manicur Track!

0.5 seconds seems to be a small number, but for the track record, it is beyond one level of leadership and beyond the team members' previous maximum expectations.

"Teacher, the effect of super soft tires has come out. If Yifeijun is put into the qualifying competition, he will definitely win the pole position!"

Yamamoto Ukyo, who has always been conservative, used the word "absolute" at this time. Because the qualifying competition only looks at the fastest lap, rather than comparing the finishing time, even if the tires are severely worn out in the end, as long as they do not break out of the track, it is acceptable to be slower.

Zhang Yifei's current speed is unmatched by Manicur Track, even pre-match seed players like Masa and Kubica are not good!

"Pole position is just the first step, what I want to consider is the main competition."

Cosell's tone was very calm, and Zhang Yifei's single lap speed was refreshed again, which was the plan. If it was replaced with a super soft tire and it was driven more slowly, what is the meaning of the tire change adventure?

Cosell will do adventures, and it is even more extreme challenges, but Cosell will not do meaningless things, which is the same as the businessman's philosophy.

"In the main competition, it depends on the tire wear and tear in the future."

At this time, Yukyo Yamamoto calmed down. The purpose of testing the super soft tire today is to see the effect after fifteen laps. After all, this super soft tire was not prepared for the qualifying competition.

Because in Cosell's heart, he was not very worried about whether Zhang Yifei could seize the pole position, and he could even be completely relieved.

At present, Renault's European Cup qualifying system, the tolerance rate of winning pole positions is too high. As long as you can ensure that you can play your absolute strength in one lap, it doesn't matter if you make mistakes in other laps, after all, you only look at the fastest lap.

But the main competition is completely different. It not only needs to have the fastest lap to break the track record, but also ensure the leading results when completing the race. At this time, the breakthrough brought by a single lap does not occupy an absolute factor, but it is more important to focus on the stability of the whole process.

In this situation, there is a representative driver, the famous Kimi Raikkonen.

"Iceman" Kimi was very strong at his peak. He was even known as the only driver who could challenge Schumacher during the Ferrari Dynasty. There were ice and fire duels on the track.

Especially in terms of the fastest lap, Kimi and Schumacher were basically won by two people. Kimi could win more than ten times in a single season, and basically every two events, he could get the fastest lap title.

You should know that this is the season of F1. The opponents are the most powerful drivers in the world and can maintain the fastest lap grab rate of 50%. This data is terrifying.

But the track record does not look at the fastest lap in the qualifying race, but depends on the lap speed in the official competition. Kimi's track record is relatively few, and the championship title is absolutely incomparable to Schumacher.

The reason for this is that he did not perform stably during the main competition, with a very high frequency of withdrawals, and even had the title of "King of Retirement".

There are reasons for racing failures in withdrawal from the race and also factors such as Kimi's own operational errors, but no matter what the reason is, it cannot change the end of withdrawal from the race.

Li Bing, a domestic F1 commentator, once said that Kimi represents the speed of F1, so he can get so many fastest single-lane titles. But he did not become a peak like Schumacher. The stability of the game and the rain battle are the biggest difference between him and Schumacher!

Therefore, the importance of the fastest lap in the qualifying competition is that it is not as important as the results of the main competition. What Cosell wants is the championship and track record of the sub-station, and the fastest lap is far from meeting his requirements.

...

As time passes by minute by minute, the command center of Manicur Raceway has issued a notice of the test run timeout.

But Kossel ignored it at all and just asked Junko Takeda to communicate with the track to see if the test run can be extended. If it really doesn't work, then you can only use the final method to increase the money!

Cosell's eyes were locked in the circular screen of the repair station, with the cornering screen and Zhang Yifei's racing data. Now the number of laps has exceeded fifteen, and there are signs of super soft tire grip decay, so it has come to a critical moment.

Zhang Yifei on the track has experienced the initial confidence in grip brought by the super soft tire, and now he has begun to feel the "disheartening" brought by the super soft tire losing grip!

You should know that because of the different hardness of the material, the grip of the ultra-soft tire exceeds the peak of the grip of the conventional soft tire, it shows a linear drop. Once the tread of the ultra-soft tire is flat, the grip will simply fall like a cliff-like drop.

When he passed the corner in the last round, Zhang Yifei felt that he was so stable, and even had the idea of ​​challenging him again. As a result, in the next round, Zhang Yifei immediately felt what a group of panic means!

After the tires were gradually smoothed, they passed through the previous bends at high speed, and began to slip due to insufficient grip of the tires. They even crossed the shoulders several times and leaned against the buffer zone Zhang Yifei to barely pass the corner.

Fortunately, thanks to the leveling of the Manicur Raceway, if it were the sand and gravel buffer zone of the ordinary track, it might not be as simple as slippage, and there is also a great risk of tire blowout.

In this case, it is impossible to challenge the limit speed of the curve. If you try not to break out of the track and lose control, it is considered that Zhang Yifei is driving well.

But soon, Cosel's dissatisfied voice came from Zhang Yifei's headset: "Why slow down? Keep the previous rhythm of turning!"

Now it has reached the most critical moment. If Zhang Yifei slows down at this moment, he will not be able to get the ultimate speed on the track.

As mentioned before, Zhang Yifei not only wants to break the track record, he also wants to win the sub-station championship. If he relaxes at the last moment and is caught up by his opponent, then his previous efforts and adventures will be in vain!

Hearing this, Zhang Yifei felt a lot of pressure. Why do you still have to ask if you slow down? The grip is obviously insufficient, and he almost rushed out of the track several times. At this time, he did not reduce his full speed and waited to rush out again and stop the engine?

However, Zhang Yifei dared not tell Ksel that the old German man is now a great god in the team. His car skills have been improved rapidly and even the opportunity to enter F1 was achieved through Kosel.

So at this time, Zhang Yifei had no choice but to grit his teeth and continue even though he knew that the risk of maintaining speed was very high!

"The mentor, I've been 21 laps, and the lap speed of the main race is only 22 to 23 laps. Yifeijun's speed was already fast enough. Even if the last two laps were slower by a few seconds, I think I can win the sub-station championship. There is no need to take risks at this time."

Yamamoto Ukyo stood up and said, because of the super soft tire, basically every lap in Zhang Yifei either approached the track record or broke the track record.

After running 21 laps, the advantages that have accumulated are already exaggerated. Even if Zhang Yifei slows down for a few seconds in the last few laps, he will basically not be able to catch up with him.

This is the problem of the game strategy. Choosing a super soft tire means exploding all potential in the first half, and in the end, as long as you can finish the game safely.

"Do you think? Ukyo, when I was at the Berlin Institute of Technology, I taught you to see the results by relying on your own feelings?"

This sentence instantly made Yamamoto Ukyo speechless. When he was in college, he paid attention to the word "rigorous". Any data must be supported by experiments, and there was never a saying of "feeling".

"Never underestimate the opponents on the track. In the face of pressure and challenges, they will also burst out their potential, so there is no saying that they will let a few seconds at the end."

There have been too many Jedi turnaround scenes in the history of the F1 track. These experiences tell Cosell that if you don’t get the championship trophy, you will have the possibility of losing it.

"Sorry, I was wrong, mentor."

Yamamoto Ukyo immediately bowed and apologized to Cosel. He was indeed overwhelmed by Zhang Yifei's test run results today and began to ignore the strength of other drivers.

On the 22nd lap, Zhang Yifei already felt a lot of pressure, and there were several curves that were thrilling past.

However, he did make his promise to Cosel, which was to still maintain his previous speed. Even if the tires were not gripped enough, he did not slow down to ensure safety.

At this time, the benefits of challenging the limits began to be reflected, that is, Zhang Yifei is already aware of extreme routes and can find the best bend route on every corner, which to a certain extent reduces the risk of insufficient grip.

Lap 23, this is the last lap of today's test run. No matter how much time the main race is, the number will not exceed 23 laps, so this lap will be the final test for super soft tires.

It was still the previous detour route, but due to insufficient grip, basically all bends need to be passed by the help of the road shoulder.

Every curve was thrilling, but Zhang Yifei still stabilized the car and soon arrived at the last corner of Manicur Raceway. As long as you cross this curve, Zhang Yifei crossed the finish line.

The name of this curve is Lecce Bend, which is a narrow and slow curve of seventy degrees.

Zhang Yifei followed the previous control, stepped on the brake and lowered the gear before entering the corner, and then rode on the shoulder to go through the corner. However, at this moment, Zhang Yifei heard a loud sound of tire blowing from the left rear wheel, and then the car shook its tail without control and rushed out of the track.

But because the speed was slow enough this time, and the tires were blown away by the rear wheels, it did not cause the car to lose control completely.

Including the previous thirty laps, after a total of more than fifty laps, the finish line was right in front of him, which made Zhang Yifei start to get up.
