295 Do you understand racing?

Zhang Yifei's words helped Yamamoto Ukyo to help him get the ball, but it was more out of confidence in the street racing venues. After all, before becoming a professional Formula driver, he had a lot of experience in running the streets, which is the biggest difference between him and those professional kart drivers.

What he didn't expect was that Cosell directly had a stern face and said in anger in his tone: "You have run so many Formula races and are about to become a formal F1 driver. Do you even understand what racing is?"

Kossel's sudden anger completely fooled Zhang Yifei. He was a little proud before, feeling that he had a "professional" kart driver who had no street experience, which was his advantage.

Unexpectedly, Cosell would be angry and said that he didn't understand racing?

Just kidding, I have already become an official driver of the F1 team. Is there any F1 driver who can't race?

Looking at Zhang Yifei's dissatisfaction on his face, Cosell asked back at this time: "What is the biggest difference between professional racing and street racing?"

“Professional racing is more professional, faster, and more extreme!”

As the saying goes, never challenge my profession with your hobbies. No matter how powerful street racing is, it is not as good as a professional driver's ability to eat. Zhang Yifei has been a professional driver for two lifetimes, so there is still some understanding of this.

"Yes, it's more extreme!"

"Professional drivers have to control the speed limit far exceed those of street enthusiasts. The entire East Ocean Track is 6.2 kilometers. Do you think there is a chance to challenge the limit on the streets with the population density and prosperity of Macau?"

Hong Kong Island is known as the pearl of the East, but in terms of prosperity, the island of Australia is even more densely populated and has a highly developed gaming industry, which is actually even better than Hong Kong Island.

As Kossell said, professional racing controls the ultimate speed far exceeds street racing.

Let’s not talk about the obvious speed difference, most in terms of control ability. Formula drivers, even if they are only at the F3 level, must achieve centimeter-level accuracy when controlling the track boundaries. The maximum tangent error will not exceed 10 cm no matter what.

Not to mention 100% of this level of accuracy, 99% of street racing cars cannot achieve it.

The entire East Ocean Track is 6.2 kilometers, including bustling street commercial areas and residential areas, with various parking space obstacles next to it.

How can we achieve the accuracy of the event level before the track is closed and cleared? Even if Zhang Yifei has this strength, objective conditions will not allow it.

The reason why Cosell gets angry is that he wants Zhang Yifei to understand that he should never think that his strength has improved and he can control everything. Always maintain a sense of awe of the track, which not only controls your achievements, but also determines your life and death!

Zhang Yifei could not answer Cosel's question because the answer was obvious, that is, it was impossible to have track-level challenges on the street.

Therefore, Zhang Yifei's previous blind self-confidence is no different from talking big.

Seeing Zhang Yifei feeling a little embarrassed, Yamamoto Ukyo said, "Teacher, Ichiki Jun is also considering it for me, so it's not his fault. I will find a way to contact some Japanese teams and try to get detailed data on the track before the event."

After hearing this, Cosell shook his head and replied: "I don't blame him, I just want him to have a clearer understanding of racing."

"In terms of track data, you should not be under too much pressure. As mentioned before, after becoming an F1 driver, not every track will give Fei enough understanding and adaptability. Will he not run without track data?"

"So we need to be mentally prepared to adapt to a new track without track data."

After saying that, Cosell set his sights on Zhang Yifei. This is a process that must go through to become a world-class driver.

Koselblad thought that Zhang Yifei would feel at a loss as a newcomer when facing this situation.

What surprised him was that in the face of his gaze, Zhang Yifei calmly gave his plan.

"If there is no ready-made routing data, we can make one by ourselves."

"Oh, let's hear it."

Cosel looked at Zhang Yifei with interest, and he wanted to know what good way to adapt to Zhang Yifei.

"I still go to test runs on the streets. I may not be able to reach the limit of the race level, but I can also be familiar with the track."

"In addition, the length, width and corner angle of the East Ocean Track can be easily found, which is considered public information of road administration. So You can use these data to calculate the theoretical best route for the curve. At that time, I will combine the track's practice competition and wait to get the actual limit turning route."

Just like the name "Formula", the limit routes of various curves on the track can be calculated using formulas to obtain the best apex point.

Of course, this is just the theoretical best route to turn around. In fact, due to the location, weather, speed, and even the interference of the opponent, each route to turn around is different.

But as long as you have this theoretical fastest detour route, Zhang Yifei will basically know where the limit is. At that time, combined with the 30-minute practice match before the game, Zhang Yifei believes that he can come up with a set of detour routes that suit him.

This time it was not the blind confidence I had before, but Zhang Yifei's confidence in his own strength!

"It's great, I know to look for breakthroughs from other aspects."

Cosel put away his previous seriousness, and even smiled rarely, praising Zhang Yifei.

Zhang Yifei can change his mentality in a short period of time and think about solutions. It is no exaggeration to describe this adaptation speed in the word "stunning".

If you have any faults, just point them out and criticize them. However, if you make progress, you should also give affirmation. This is Kossell's style of conduct.

Hong Kong Island is not far from O Island, and the ferry quickly stopped at the dock. Zhang Yifei and the others also ended the discussion on the competition and prepared to get off the boat.

Because Zhang Yifei had been here once before, he was quite familiar with him, he took his team members to the hotel he had stayed with Lu Ningping before.

This hotel is not a luxurious star hotel, but it is clean and quiet, which meets Zhang Yifei's requirements, so he chose this place again.

After completing the check-in procedures for the hotel, Zhang Yifei was about to go to the room to put his luggage on, his cell phone rang.

These days are the most frequent period when Zhang Yifei's mobile phone rings, so he thought it was called by Uncle Lu or the old man.

As a result, Zhang Yifei took out his cell phone and saw that it was Xie Tiancheng's number displayed on it. This surprised Zhang Yifei a little. Since his last farewell in Japan, Xie Tiancheng has never looked for him again. What's wrong with him calling at this time?

With this question in mind, Zhang Yifei pressed the answer button. Before he could speak, Xie Tiancheng's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Hey, Zhang Yifei, you actually participated in the Grand Prix of O Island. Have you arrived at O ​​Island now?"

"The news is quite well-informed. I honestly tell me, are you always following me? State it beforehand, you can follow me, but I don't want to do Brokeback Mountain!"

Hearing Zhang Yifei's words, Xie Tiancheng on the other end of the phone was completely black. This guy has become an F1 driver. Why do he still talk about the train? He doesn't have the same style as the strongest driver in the car world?

"I'm not glass, either!"

Xie Tiancheng emphasized in a muffled voice, and then continued: "The news of your participation in the Grand Prix race is reported by the media on the island of Australia, and it is difficult to not know."

"Aren't you in Japan? You know all the media reports on the Australian Island?"

"Who told you that I am in Japan? I am now on O Island."

This surprised Zhang Yifei a little again. When he was undergoing professional training at Toyota Youth Training, Xie Tiancheng also came to Japan to try out the Arta racing team created by the legendary Japanese car world Akuri Suzuki, and was preparing to compete in the entire Japanese GT race.

Logically speaking, at this point in time, Xie Tiancheng either trains in Japan or participates in Japan's GT competitions, how could he appear on O Island?

"What are you doing in Australia?"

"Of course it's a race. You don't think that the Grand Prix race only has the Formula Race, right? You should know that the Grand Prix race was originally called the Eastern Ocean Race, and the RV GT was the starting point."

The Grand Prix is ​​a general term. Each Grand Prix event will consist of three different racing events, namely F3, RV, and Motorcycle Competition.

And these three different events are held together, so the Grand Prix of the Island of O is also the only street event in the world that holds both car competitions and motorcycle competitions.

"You actually participated in the Grand Prix event."

"Damn, then we two are competing on the same stage in a sense."

It was Zhang Yifei's turn to be surprised. He really didn't expect that Xie Tiancheng would also participate in the Grand Prix.

But it’s normal to think about it. In addition to the GT events in Japan, the number of Asian RV racing cars is called by the Grand Prix in the Island of Australia. It’s not surprising that Xie Tiancheng comes to participate.

"It seems to be a bit like competing on the same stage."

"By the way, where are you in O Island now? We haven't seen each other for a long time. Take this opportunity to gather?"

Xie Tiancheng sent an invitation and Zhang Yifei's experience as an F1 driver can be described as the word "Legend".

Even Xie Tiancheng wanted to meet Zhang Yifei at this moment and listen to how he did all this.

"No problem, I'm at the xx Hotel in Wangde Parish, O Island. Where are you?"
