306 China's strongest driver
The start of racing has always been a science and technology, which is similar to the start of a short-distance race, and often it can even determine the direction of the championship.
It is quite difficult to start a Formula racing car, and it requires extremely precise control of the speed and throttle force to grasp the critical point of power and grip.
After all, Formula vehicles are relatively light. Take the Formula Renault racing car driven by Zhang Yifei for example. The weight of the whole vehicle is less than 500 kilograms. Generally, the modified energy vehicles can weigh about one ton no matter how lightweight it is.
The car is light and the horsepower is strong, and if you don’t pay attention to the starting point, it will cause tire burning and slipping. Either the accelerator is not enough, and the starting point will be shut off. Even if the F1 drivers have experienced drivers, they will have time to overturn their cars, so starting training is considered a solid basic skill for Formula drivers.
It is precisely because of this solid basic skill that Zhang Yifei controls the engine speed extremely accurately, and does not have the instantaneous slippage that is common in starting, which perfectly ensures the connection of vehicle power, so he naturally has obvious advantages in starting.
Looking at Zhang Yifei's starting movements, Xie Tiancheng on the sidelines was full of shock.
When I was testing the track with Zhang Yifei, due to various objective factors, Zhang Yifei basically couldn't show any driving skills. Except for the speed of the first lap, the driving speed was basically the same as that of an ordinary vehicle.
So Xie Tiancheng naturally didn't see Zhang Yifei's starting move at the event level.
According to Xie Tiancheng's understanding of Zhang Yifei's strength, he will definitely not fall behind in the initial stage. However, Xie Tiancheng did not expect that Zhang Yifei could achieve such a crushing lead, and his opponent was the champion of the Eastern Ocean Competition.
It is no exaggeration to say that Xie Tiancheng can't achieve the starting speed of Zhang Yifei when driving his own car. Is it really amazing that his strength has been improved to such a terrifying situation in the past six months?
In a moment when Xie Tiancheng was shocked, the two racing cars had already driven out dozens of meters, chasing them one by one and the other.
An Cuili looked at the taillights of Zhang Yifei in front of him. The shock in his heart was no less than Xie Tiancheng. If it weren't for the fact that he had already been in front of him, he would never believe that someone could crush himself and surpass him at the start of the East Ocean Track!
Even if Zhang Yifei is an F1 driver, An Shuli has such confidence, because his previous thoughts were actually similar to Brother K of Yuen Long, that is, an F1 driver like Zhang Yifei, which is not worthy of his name!
Apart from signing a formal driver contract, Zhang Yifei did not have any F1 race results to prove his strength.
As for Zhang Yifei's Reno Formula sub-station champion, this title is not taken seriously by the group, because the value is not very high. I don't know how many titles there are in various primary Formula championships, and the sub-station champions are also equipped with cards?
It can be said that before he ran away, An Cuili's idea was the same as Zhang Yifei. He didn't look down on his opponent very much and thought he could win the opponent.
Even though he was shocked, An Counli's mental state at this moment did not have any idea that his skills were inferior to others.
The entire Osmanthus track is 62 kilometers, and the starting point only occupies a small part, not to mention that the race rules require 5 laps to be considered as the end. An Coolli is absolutely sure. With his understanding of Osmanthus track, he can easily find opportunities to overtake as the race progresses. Now is just the beginning!
The narrow streets of Ao Island, coupled with the reduced visibility at night and the dim lights, use hundreds of kilometers per hour to control the racing cars in various extremes, is a difficult challenge.
But this is not a difficult thing for Zhang Yifei, because after the previous test run, plus the track data of Xie Tiancheng and Yamamoto Ukyo, Zhang Yifei dared not say anything, but he was definitely not as unfamiliar as if he had just come into contact with the East Ocean Track.
Putting aside the differences in driving a vehicle, Zhang Yifei used his limits as much as possible to simulate the detours of Formula racing and some possible problems. He did not regard this as a race at all, nor did he take Antuli seriously.
An Cottley was originally very confident in catching up with and surpassing Zhang Yifei, but after several bends, he found that he did not seem to have shortened the distance between Zhang Yifei and seemed to have vaguely opened.
This subtle change began to impact An Culi's self-confidence. If you can find various excuses when you are leading in the initial stage, then you can still be widened now, which can only prove one thing, that is, Zhang Yifei drove faster than him!
The driver of the observation point of Rongxin Team on the track did not notice the nuances that the two sides were widening, so he directly broadcast the report.
"The two cars passed through several small curves one by one, and Zhang Yifei was still in the lead at this moment, but Anculi bit her very tightly, and there was almost no obvious gap."
Hearing this report, the drivers who supported An Coreli who stayed at the scene all started to fight back and said, "I heard that it was an accident that I was surpassed at the beginning, and the distance between the cars on both sides could not be pulled away."
Another driver also added at this moment: "Don't forget that Anculi has the title of champion of the Eastern Ocean Competition. His familiarity with this track is far better than Zhang Yifei. The good show has just begun, and he will definitely come back."
Their words naturally aroused dissatisfaction with Zhang Yifei's supporters: "Come on, the distance between the car is not pulled away, which does not mean that the distance between the car is shortened. Anculi has the advantage of being familiar with the track, but he still can't catch up with Zhang Yifei on the curve, which proves that the driver Fei is better than the ghost guy!"
"Yes, if you can't catch up with the curve, there is even more hope for those long straights behind. The f1 drivers are f1 drivers after all, and their strength is there!"
Seeing that the two sides were about to start arguing again, an old driver of the underground racing car in Ao Island interrupted.
"I calmed down. After only a few small bends, what can I see? It was Wenhua Oriental bend immediately. Only then can I see a driver's true strength!"
Wenhua Oriental Bend is the first high-speed difficult bend that you have to face after starting the East Ocean Track.
The corner angle is not particularly exaggerated, but because it happens to be on a narrow street, the entire road is only 7 meters wide. You should know that the normal track width is between 12 and 18 meters, and the Wenhua Oriental Bend is more than twice as narrow.
Moreover, compared with other tracks, there are road shoulders and buffer zones, Wenhua Oriental curves are lined with cement walls, which is extremely challenging for drivers to control the curve. If a slight mistake occurs in the corner, it basically means that the race is over. Even if the person is fine, the car will definitely be seriously damaged.
So this curve is called Turn 1 on the East Ocean Track. A driver's level can basically tell a rough idea by passing this curve.
Zhang Yifei is quite familiar with this Wenhua Oriental Bend. Whether it is the previous test run or the later reference track data, he focuses on Wenhua Oriental Bend.
Especially when referring to track data and formulating a detour route, Zhang Yifei prepared three different detour tangents for Wenhua Oriental Bend in order to deal with various different situations.
Today, at the East Ocean Raceway, there is a blockade of Rongxin Team at every intersection, which can avoid sudden encounters of pedestrians or other social vehicles. Based on this premise, Zhang Yifei has nothing to hesitate about when choosing a detour route, and he directly chose the limit turn.
At this time, Zhang Yifei stepped down the accelerator, and the Honda NSSX was close to the cement wall. The extreme distance may be less than 3 cm. From the perspective of the outside world, Zhang Yifei's racing car was almost the same as hitting the track protective wall.
But it doesn't mean you will actually bump into it. Zhang Yifei's racing car passed the oriental culture curve in an extreme way.
An Gengli of the rear car naturally made Zhang Yifei go through the corner and saw it clearly. Especially when he saw Zhang Yifei using the limit of the gap of less than 3 cm, he even took a breath.
Anculi has run on the East Ocean Raceway for countless times. His peak record is that he is turning 5 cm from the Wenhua Oriental Curve Cement Protection Wall. Zhang Yifei, a person who has never run on the East Ocean Raceway, can achieve an amazing scale of 3 cm. How strong is this strength?
But at this time, there was no time for An Tuli to sigh at Zhang Yifei's strength. He didn't want to be thrown away by Zhang Yifei a lot on this corner, so he used almost the limit of turning.
As a result, an unexpected scene happened. An Counli was completely unable to achieve the terrifying accuracy of Zhang Yifei, and even the front of the car hit the wall.
This situation where he almost had to crash the car made Anculi forced Anculi to counterattack the steering wheel for rescue. It has to be said that Anculi still has experience and successfully pulled the car back from the brink of losing control.
The consequence of this series of works is that the route of Anculi track was extremely failed, and a Wenhua Oriental Bend was thrown away by Zhang Yifei!
"Ohygod, also in Wenhua Oriental Bend, Zhang Yifei's extreme route can be said to have completely crushed Anculi. Now the distance between the cars on both sides has been pulled close to 20 meters."
News from the observation point came, and a situation that made the drivers on the scene feel a little incredible.
Some people supported Zhang Yifei before, and some supported An Coreli, but overall, basically everyone thought that this would be a match that would be a fairly good match. No party could have the advantage of crushing and there was hope of winning.
But now it seems that this idea may not be true. The strength shown by Zhang Yifei has already crushed An Cuili and was 20 meters away from the first corner. How can I run behind it?
"It's too strong, I really didn't expect a crushing situation."
"Actually, what you should think of is that the F1 driver is the F1 driver after all."
"Yes, how can you not have amazing strength to gain a foothold in the European track and create miracles from Formula Elementary to enter the F1 team?"
