"You are not familiar with the track and racing performance, so try to drive slowly."

On the eve of departure, Henry chose to remind him that a car is really valuable, and the current financial situation of Prost team is difficult to bear such inexplicable losses.

"I see."

Zhang Yifei nodded. He was not the kind of silly and brave. The horsepower of this JS51 car was almost three times that of the Formula car he had driven before, so he naturally would not rush the accelerator and accelerate.

After hearing Zhang Yifei's confirmation, all the personnel took a few steps back and gave Zhang Yifei a space to set off.

The throttle began to roar. The biggest difference between the JS51 starts in the beginning stage and the primary equation is that the clutch changed from foot to manual.

You should know that due to aerodynamic factors, Formula racing cars are all very narrow and long fronts. Elementary Formulas are all minors, and the impact in this aspect is still a little smaller, after all, the body has not fully grown.

Except for some outliers in f1, such as Zhang Yifei, other drivers are all adults. In this narrow space, it is very crowded to put their feet, which is naturally easy to cause accidental stepping.

So putting the clutch on the steering wheel, just brake the soles of your feet and accelerator can avoid operating errors and increase the driver's starting speed.

Of course, this is not 100% avoidable. A slight slip of hand may cause the possibility of shutting down the fire. However, this kind of thing is relatively rare in F1, after all, the strength is here.

Press the clutch paddle and then hang it in one gear. The operation logic is actually the same as stepping on the foot, but because of habit problems, you need to adapt a little.

It's not a tense race now, so Zhang Yifei doesn't have to pursue any starting speed. He can take his time and start the race in the most reliable way.

After all, many people, even if they don’t say it clearly, they probably have doubts in their hearts, even if they don’t say it clearly. Zhang Yifei didn’t know if the Prost technician team would think so, but he didn’t want to start and shut down the engine and was looked down upon by others.

As soon as he stepped on the accelerator, a huge feeling of pushing the back was instantly pressing Zhang Yifei tightly on his seat. In just over two seconds, the speed of the LCD monitor on the steering wheel had exceeded 100, and it was still accelerating and increasing wildly.

This is the terrifying power brought by 930p horsepower. At the same time, the engine speed has also exceeded 15,000 rpm, which is higher than the engine speed limit of Renault racing before.

The loud roar brought by the engine is simply comparable to the noise of a jet passenger plane taking off. If it weren't for Zhang Yifei wearing a helmet and earplugs, he would probably not feel the roar brought by the engine at this time, but his ears would be "deaf"!

Upshift, speed rises, and then upshift... In just a few seconds, Zhang Yifei's gear has risen to sixth gear, and the js51 racing speed also quickly exceeded 200km/h.

Unlike the Renault six-speed transmission I drove before, the seven-speed serial transmission used by the js51 uses. Although the gears have been increased by one, due to the triple-fold increase in horsepower and the simultaneous increase in torque, the acceleration performance of each gear can be said to have defeated Renault junior racing in seconds.

The most intuitive feeling brought by horsepower is that it is extremely easy to speed up after shifting gears and deceleration at any time.

The only thing that made Zhang Yifei feel a little regretful is that the most advanced seamless gearbox in later generations has not been born yet, so the gears cannot match the full speed. And the gear shift time delay can only be reduced to less than 0.1 second, but cannot reach one thousandth of a second.

Of course, even if it can only be reduced to less than 0.1 second, the efficiency of the gearbox has far surpassed other vehicles, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as crushing.

The Montrere Raceway is more than ten kilometers long and has a straight path long enough to allow the car to perform at an astonishing speed.

At this time, Zhang Yifei stepped on the accelerator pedal to the bottom and the gear level rose to the highest seventh gear. Compared with some vehicles with weak stamina, the f1 racing car still has good acceleration capabilities even at a speed of 200km/h.

Soon Zhang Yifei saw the number on the steering wheel and broke through 300!

This speed is something that Zhang Yifei has never felt in his two lives. Think about what the concept of 300km/h is. After the speed reduction in later generations, the high-speed rail usually runs 300km/h.

This speed not only has super high requirements for the ultimate performance of the car, but also has not low requirements for the track. Zhang Yifei was just a rally driver in his previous life, and it is extremely rare to drive a section of 200km/h, let alone 300km/h.

Even if you have become a Formula driver in your life, whether it was Renault's Elementary Formula or the F3 event in O Island, the ultimate speed of the racing car was limited to within 300km/h.

To be honest, even if there are no restrictions, you can't feel the speed and speed brought by F1 racing.

Just like some ordinary family cars in later generations, the bottom number of the speedometer is more than 200km/h. But if you really run to this speed, you will have an extremely long acceleration process, and you will be worried during this process, because many cars will "float" as soon as they speed.

However, this problem will not occur in the F1 racing car. The good aerodynamic layout and the air downforce brought by the tail wing. The faster the racing car, the more amazing the air downforce will be, pressing the racing car tightly on the ground.

So even if the Formula Racing is astonishingly light, there will be no drifting at high speed. On the contrary, the faster the speed, the more stable it is.

Zhang Yifei felt the speed and excitement brought by the F1 racing car, while the members of the Prost team were very worried.

Take the team leader Henry for example. He has now returned to the P room console. Looking at the speed data transmitted by the racing sensors, he has already exceeded the 300 mark, his palms are already sweating!

This is not because Henry has never seen a speed of 300km/h. On the contrary, this speed can basically reach this speed in the F1 event, with long straight acceleration.

But the problem is that Zhang Yifei is a pure newcomer. He may have never touched the F1 racing car before. As a result, he went up and experienced the F1 racing car and drove directly to 300km/h!

If this happens, it will definitely be the result of the car being destroyed and the people being killed!

Before getting on the car, I also told Zhang Yifei to adapt slowly, but I didn’t expect that this Chinese newcomer would be so aggressive!

"Youkyo, Brother Fei is driving a little faster, right?"

Ah Hu was also standing behind the console at this moment. When he saw the 300km/h speed displayed on the screen, he felt that the speed was amazing.

But he is not familiar with F1 racing and doesn't know if this is the standard speed of F1 racing. Kossel is so fierce that Ah Hu dares not ask, so he can only ask Yamamoto Ukyo beside him.

"Is it a bit fast? It's the first time I've come into contact with F1 racing, and with this completely unfamiliar track, it's better to choose a safer speed."

Yamamoto Ukyo's tone showed a hint of worry. Even if it was placed in the F1 event, it could only be achieved in a long straight.

Due to the total length of the Montrere Track, its long straight track is much longer than the normal F1 track. However, for a newcomer like Zhang Yifei, it is definitely a dangerous speed. If there is a real accident, there will be no time to avoid or save.

"What should I do? I would like to remind Brother Fei to slow him down?"

"This is not my permissions."

Yamamoto Ukyo replied helplessly, they are now in a professional F1 team, no longer the "grass team" they used to be.

There is team leader Henry and competition engineer Cosell in front of the console. Even if you remind me to slow down, it is not the turn of his own data analyst to issue orders.

The division of labor in the f1 team is very strict, especially the right to communicate with the driver. Under normal circumstances, only two people have it. One is the driver's exclusive race engineer, and the other is the team manager or technical director. Other staff members do not have the right to talk to the driver.

If everyone can talk to the driver at any time and express their opinions, what is the difference between the voice calling system of the F1 event and the vegetable market? It will seriously interfere with the driver's normal driving.

But the current situation made Yamamoto Ukyo feel a little strange, that is, Henry and Cosell did not choose to remind Zhang Yifei to slow down, and they didn't know what they were thinking about.

In fact, Henry and Cosell had completely different ideas, one was suspicion and the other was trust.

Henry completely treats Zhang Yifei as a rookie. Only newcomers will drive such crazy speed without understanding the track and first contact with racing. Because once young people feel the speed of the F1 racing, they will drive faster and faster without knowing it, and eventually exceed their ability range.

In history, many teams have experienced similar situations. They are very excited when they are exposed to F1 racing, and then they start to get on.

Now Zhang Yifei has this trend, but he is even more crazy than those development drivers!

Because those development drivers have the maximum speed of nearly 300km/h at most, but at this moment, Zhang Yifei's speed has exceeded 320km/h. Even Henry dared not remind him of this speed immediately, worried that the sudden voice of the conversation would interfere with Zhang Yifei and become the cause of the racing car losing control.

Kossel is completely different. He knows how many pounds Zhang Yifei has. Not to mention anything else, the speed of the F3 event is 280km/h, which is completely under the control of Zhang Yifei!

Although the current speed is far exceeding 280km/h, the aerodynamic and stability of the F1 racing car is also far exceeding that of the Dallara racing car in the F3 racing event.

Kossel believes that Zhang Yifei can control this speed!

As it turns out, Cosell's idea is right. Zhang Yifei is not blindly accelerating wildly for excitement. When he enters the corner, he calmly slows down and then turns tangently, feeling the cornering performance of the F1 racing car.

Seeing the speed on the monitor dropping and the curved camera shows Zhang Yifei making a smooth turn, which also made Henry breathe a sigh of relief.

If a new driver today had a major accident when he first came into contact with F1 racing, it would undoubtedly add insult to the current difficulties in Prost team, and might become the last straw that would overwhelm the camel.

But at this moment, Henry heard the suppressed whisper of Chief Technology Charlie behind him.
