Yamamoto Ukyo once served the Toyota Le Mans team. Although it is not the same as the Formula, the two sides still have many similarities.

Yamamoto Ukyo naturally knew about the set of gearbox adjustments in the fleet. Otherwise, when changing the gearbox before, Kossel would not have asked Yamamoto Ukyo to stay for help.

But the problem is that Zhang Yifei has to adapt to this change, but at least he has to receive training from the F1 team. How can he adapt to the formal competition?

Of course, there is no choice to adapt to the track. After all, there is no way to predict such an accident as a transmission failure.

However, the indifferent attitude of the mentor made Yamamoto Ukyo even not know what to say. Is it a little too high for Ichiki?

Zhang Yifei on the track didn't expect that so much at this moment, and he focused all his attention on Kubica in front.

After experiencing intense driving, the feeling of "not following the hand" of the racing car began to highlight. Many times, Zhang Yifei subconsciously followed his previous habits to make the power connection not so perfect.

This slight flaw usually has no effect, so it’s better to get used to it slowly. However, in the face of such a showdown between top experts, any flaw will be infinitely amplified, so every time Zhang Yifei wants to surpass Kubica, he always breathes a sigh of relief.

However, the process of catching up is also a process of learning. After a few laps, Zhang Yifei has basically figured out the characteristics of the new gearbox. He dared not say that he could shift gears perfectly like the test run, at least surpassing Kubika, and it should not be an obstacle.

Just as Zhang Yifei was about to launch an attack again, Kossel's familiar voice finally came from the headset: "Now the schedule is nearly halfway, can't you even adapt to the slight changes in the gearbox?"

This time, Kossel didn't feel that he was very strict, because he had given Zhang Yifei enough time. If he followed the standards of F1 drivers completely, there would be no so-called adaptation process at all. At the moment of riding on the racing car, no matter what kind of racing adjustment, he must achieve the unity of the car and the man!

It is obvious that there is still a clear gap between Zhang Yifei!

Subtle changes? Zhang Yifei was not convinced by this. The adjustment of the high-speed gear of the racing car was due to the differences in the characteristics of the gearbox itself, and the lack of experience in Yamamoto Ukyo and Ah Hu, which resulted in the speed difference being nearly 1,000 revolutions. Can this also be called subtle?

Using the main track race as a practice, you have to adapt to surpassing your opponent in more than ten minutes. Is Cosell not treating himself as a human being or not treating his opponent on the track as a human being?

But Zhang Yifei did not talk back because he also knew that these reasons were not a reason on the track. What we should consider is how to solve it, rather than justifying ourselves.

"Almost used to it."

"You should know, I don't like the word almost."

"I've adapted!"

Zhang Yifei gritted his teeth and replied, "When the old German man hates it, it really feels like humans and ghosts hate it!"

"As soon as I adapted, I overwhelmed Kubica in this circle. Do you think you can't even see the taillights of Dixon's car?"

There is a reason why Kossel chose to stimulate Zhang Yifei at this time, that is, the schedule is close to half, and Zhang Yifei and Kubica have been fighting each other for too long, and they have slowed down their speed.

To describe it in an old Chinese saying, it is a clam and crane fighting each other, and the fisherman gains profit. No matter how fast Kubika and Zhang Yifei are, they keep changing their line offensive and defensive battles, they are still not as happy as Dixon running alone.

After about ten rounds, the gap accumulates little by little, and it becomes a great advantage for Dixon.

Cosel never underestimated Zhang Yifei's opponents on the track, especially Dixon, have always been the focus of Cosel's attention. If Zhang Yifei did not overtake Kubica and continued to tangle with him like this, he would most likely not be able to catch up with Dixon's pace.

"I got it, Dixon doesn't have a chance to be a champion."

"Is there any chance that you can't rely on your mouth, prove it to me."

After Cosell finished speaking, he hung up the team's call system. The current situation could no longer allow Zhang Yifei to be qualified. He must be excellent enough to win the sub-station championship of Silverstone Track!

After the call, Zhang Yifei looked at Kubika in front of him with a cold expression. He was about to start playing the limit.

At this time, Zhang Yifei stepped down the accelerator and used the wake to press against Kubika again. The two cars seemed to be about to collide and bite them very tightly!

After crossing the highway section, the two cars came to the turning point of the track, one in front and one behind. This is a right-angle deceleration corner called vale. The speed of the car needs to be reduced to 2nd gear 80km/h, and then passed by in a curve cutting manner.

The difficulty of this curve is because there are high-speed curves in front of them. Many drivers have not changed their driving habits when facing a vale curve, which leads to the speed of entering the curve too fast, and it is easy to brake suddenly and lock the tires.

So vale bend, maintaining the correct speed and accurately finding the brake point are two very critical points.

These two points are not difficult for Zhang Yifei or Kubika. Both of them know the track very well and have their strength here, so it is difficult to make any low-level mistakes.

After so many laps before, Zhang Yifei has tried to take the opportunity to pass in the vale curve. However, this curve itself is not low, and overtaking is even more difficult, so Zhang Yifei failed several times.

This time, the two of them came out of Turn 7 and before entering the Vale Bend, Kubica faced Zhang Yifei's close contact. He kept looking at the rearview mirror, and at the same time occupied the best route to the Vale Bend, without giving Zhang Yifei any chance.

Faced with this situation, Zhang Yifei did not choose the best cornering tangent, but instead stepped on the accelerator before entering the corner, using the "slingshot" effect of the wake to directly catch up with the front garage bika, and the two were in a side-by-side state.

Seeing Zhang Yifei appear on his left, Kubica was not panicked at all. On the contrary, he felt a kind of ridicule in his heart.

Can't the Chinese boy help it again? But now I occupy the corner tangent line, and the brake point of the vale bend is in front of me. Don't you have to brake honestly and follow my car?

Zhang Yifei's current overtaking behavior is meaningless in Kubika's eyes. He can only act and vent his grievances of following behind him and watching the taillights of the car. Because there is a vale bend in front, Zhang Yifei did not occupy the best tangent line, and when he entered the bend, he was waiting to break out of the track.

So Zhang Yifei must brake and then follow him and turn around, and everything will return to the starting point.

But this time, Kubica thought a little simple. Zhang Yifei did not slow down. On the contrary, he accelerated again and completely surpassed Kubica.

However, because of this overtaking action, Zhang Yifei's speed reached 120km/h in 2 gears, and he missed the best brake point.

Are Chinese boys crazy? This speed and route have also thought about vale bends?

Kubika looked at Zhang Yifei's actions and was very surprised. Because at this speed, Zhang Yifei would definitely not be able to turn normally. Either choose to lock the wheel and brake quickly, laying the hidden danger of tire blowout for the subsequent schedule.

Either you just rush out of the track and end the race early, and there is no third option.

But unfortunately, Zhang Yifei still gave Kubica the third choice. Zhang Yifei chose to change lanes and seize his detour route at the moment when he surpassed Kubica, and accurately reduced the speed to 90km/h with one brake.

In the current Formula racing, there is no penalty for secondary lane change, but as long as the front nose wing crosses the rear wheel, it means that the overtaking is successful. At this time, the dangerous consequences caused by changing lanes will be severely punished by Fia.

This is why Zhang Yifei chose to accelerate at critical moments and seize the front of Kubika. It is because he needs to completely surpass Kubika. Otherwise, if the other party does not give in, he will make up his mind to catch up with the accelerator. If he does not seize the route, he will inevitably squeeze out the track.

If Kubika is a little more ruthless, even if two people are colliding out, it will be because Zhang Yifei failed to grab the line, and Kubika will not be punished.

Zhang Yifei dared not bet on whether Kubika was ruthless or not, because Zhang Yifei's own creed is that he is not ruthless and cannot stand firm.

So he must completely surpass Kubika, then change lanes and seize his detours and become the car ahead to ensure that Kubika will not "take risks".

However, Zhang Yifei's acceleration at the last moment and missing the best brake point made him enter the cornering speed significantly too fast. And according to the original Kubica's bend route, the tangent arc at this speed is not enough.

This is like driving on the road. The smaller the turning angle, the lower the speed will naturally decrease. But if you can find a larger curve, the speed will be higher.

The width of the track is so long, it is impossible to have an extra piece of space out of thin air, so that Zhang Yifei can draw any big arc. So in this case, all Zhang Yifei can do is borrow the shoulders on both sides of the track!

The reason why he chose to borrow it now is that after more than ten laps, obvious tire marks have begun to appear on the track.

You should know that unlike the F1 event, Formula Renault has not experienced the selection of F3 and F3000 events, and the gap between drivers' strength is very different.

Top drivers may have reached the level of future F1 drivers, while rookies drivers are karting. If these drivers are not strong enough, the tracking on the track will naturally be a mess, not to mention the sudden low-speed corner of vale, if you don’t react, you will be too fast.

So more than one driver has experienced this situation, and the only way to save it is to borrow the road shoulder to pass by.

Although the shoulders of Silverstone track are full of risks, they are already out of control and rush out. What is this risk?

After about ten laps, drivers borrowed the shoulders of the road in each lap. Some people rushed out directly, but some still succeeded, so tire marks formed on the ground.
