402cm Challenge (Chapter 3)
Just as Junko Takeda thought, even though Zhang Yifei had locked the tire that the brakes were stomped, the speed still couldn't be reduced quickly.
Moreover, when the brakes were stepped on the slippery road on rainy days, the entire car swinged violently, which was shocking, as if it could lose control at any time.
"Damn it, I feel like Zhang Yifei is playing big now and he is really likely to break out of the track."
"Stay steady, Zhang Yifei, you are our new generation of car king in China!"
"I won't lose control and slip, I'll lose. In this way, the Malay Witch Clan should blow Bear Dragon is the number one driver in Asia."
"It's no longer a question of who is the number one driver, and the driver is still too radical to fly!"
Many of Zhang Yifei's supporters in the stands had an extremely nervous look on their faces.
Even if they are not professional drivers, they understand how difficult it is to control Zhang Yifei's racing cars in this situation, and they have even put themselves in a dangerous situation.
If Xionglong is the hope of Formula Malaysia, then Zhang Yifei has already skipped the stage of hope.
The results of the Australian Grand Prix have allowed the world to see the strength of this Chinese driver. With the urging of various popularity, Zhang Yifei has already headed towards the new star.
Just like most people, they would not compare him with Xiong Long and Marquis, but instead placed Zhang Yifei as a Gemini star, and put Zhang Yifei as a super newcomer with Montoya this year.
In fact, people’s subconscious mind no longer regard Zhang Yifei as a rookie character.
If there are any serious consequences caused by the "angry" of today's practice game, isn't it a bit unworthy of the loss?
It can be said that everyone is extremely nervous. On the contrary, Zhang Yifei on the track is extremely calm at this moment!
Just when the car was about to lose control, he directly released the brakes and controlled the steering system that had almost no effect because the tires were locked. In order to maintain the car's grip, Zhang Yifei even tapped the accelerator in this situation and used the power to improve the stability of the car.
This series of operations is very complicated to describe, and Zhang Yifei's cooperation can be said to be dazzling, but no matter what, the car that was about to lose control had stabilized and slowed down.
However, even so, Zhang Yifei's cornering speed is still fast. When the cornering center is pushed by inertia, there is still a very high risk of side slippage. Zhang Yifei even stepped on the tire lock, and he can no longer use the brake to brake.
In fact, Zhang Yifei did not consider relying solely on brakes. He had lowered the engine gear to the first gear at this moment. However, due to the speed of the vehicle, the engine's strong pulling speed was still close to ten thousand revolutions. At the same time, Zhang Yifei kept braked and replenishing oil on his feet, using power to maintain the car's grip and stability.
In extreme cases, in front of the curved camera, Zhang Yifei's wheels are clearly seen idling rapidly. This means that the tires are still insufficient in the wetlands on rainy days.
When Xiong Long passed this curve, he leaned against the shoulder to stabilize the car. What else can Zhang Yifei do to stabilize it? Relying on the track sand and gravel buffer zone?
As long as you rush into the gravel buffer zone, you have the opportunity to drive it out as long as your hands and feet are fast enough to rush into the gap, but even if it is not a waste of time, if the mud on rainy days makes the tires trap, you have to wait for team members or track staff to rescue them.
By then, it will be more than the gap with Xiong Long in less than two seconds, and this gap is obviously increased by more than ten times.
Moreover, today's Xiong Long's speed is almost as fast as a mid-span level as a formal driver. If he falls behind for a few dozen seconds, even if he is in the main race, Zhang Yifei may not be able to recover it, let alone such a practice competition that will soon enter the station and adjust.
More importantly, Zhang Yifei's crazy acceleration of chasing is not always lucky to save him. If he makes another mistake, he will lose steadily!
To be honest, even at this moment, even when they looked at the screen broadcast on the ring screen, they didn't know how Zhang Yifei should pass this corner.
This is not to say that no one can do it, such as letting Schumacher come, or letting Prost come for ten years rely on his strong personal strength to pass the corner. But with Zhang Yifei, he is just the first time he has run the track in the rain, and he doesn't have the ability.
"Cosell, you made a wrong decision."
Seeing Zhang Yifei entering the curve speed displayed on the screen, Prost spoke.
This time Cosel did not refute. To be honest, he began to doubt whether he was a little too radical.
Perhaps Zhang Yifei's performance in the opening game also changed his mentality, and he subconsciously wanted to make him the next Senna.
After all, the car god Senna relied on the rain battle in the newcomer stage to create his own name.
But unfortunately, there is only one Senna, and not everyone can become Senna. So many years have passed, F1 has come and gone, and no one can become famous by relying on the rain battle in the newcomer stage!
Everyone held their breath and stared at the screen. Zhang Yifei did not choose the regular detour route, but rode on the shoulder of the road in the way of extreme detours.
But the problem is that the shoulders of the road are very slippery at this time, and it is necessary to ensure that the tires and the center point of the shoulders are completely overlapped, otherwise they will slide up or down.
At this time, the change in the trajectory of the bend will not give Zhang Yifei any chance to save it. The limit standard for this bend is centimeter level, and it is not about ten centimeters of the dictionary thickness, only one centimeter!
At this moment, Zhang Yifei was like Senna, facing the blocking board that moved one centimeter. He had to keep track of extremely accurate lines in order to smoothly turn, otherwise he would rush out of the track.
The wheel rode on the shoulder of the road, and the entire curve was constantly regressing in Zhang Yifei's sight. Only the extreme detour route was left in his mind, and his hands were sprinting the steering wheel frantically, so that the wheel was perfectly maintained on the shoulder of the road.
There was no slipping, and the car did not break out of the track. When Zhang Yifei stepped on the apex point and stepped down the accelerator and the engine roared again, a cheering sound appeared in the repair station.
This is not cheering for victory, but shocking Zhang Yifei's driving skills that are beyond everyone's imagination!
These are all members of professional teams. The driving skills may be far from the level of F1 drivers, but this does not mean that they do not know the difficulty of Zhang Yifei's control just now.
From the "pendulum" rescue vehicle at the beginning to the extremely accurate roadside cornering, Zhang Yifei has already deviated from the level that a new driver should have. This is not only a technical factor, but also mentality and experience!
"How did flying do it?"
Cosel asked in his heart that for him, the technical control of extreme cornering is understandable. After all, many drivers will make some magical controls when facing a crisis.
However, before entering the corner, the racing car was in a "pendulum" state. Zhang Yifei kept relying on the delicate control of point killing, oil replenishing and other things to save the racing car. This is definitely not something newcomers can do, but requires rich experience.
This kind of experience is difficult to obtain in daily life, and Zhang Yifei is certainly a pure newcomer who has not been exposed to the rain track in the F1 race car.
Actually, Cosell was right. Zhang Yifei had never driven an F1 race car and ran a professional F1 track in the rain.
But he drove a rally car, challenging the mud, challenging the snow, and even challenging the desert!
This kind of rescue action under extreme road conditions can be said to be the basic control of a rally driver. It may not be as fast as 200km/h just now, but the principle of rescue is the same, and they are rescued by point brakes and counter-pulling steering wheel.
But to be honest, in addition to its superb driving skills, this kind of rescue vehicle has a great component of luck. I can only say that Zhang Yifei is lucky, he created a newcomer miracle!
"Sena..."
Prost murmured, if anyone here is the most impressed by Senna's rain battle, there is no doubt that Prost is, after all, he was once Senna's direct opponent on the track!
Many people know that the two rain battles in the newcomer stage have made the name of "Senina in the Rain". But many people also don't know that the true peak of Senna's rain battle was at the Donington Park Circuit in 1993.
In that game, Senna only took one lap schedule, from fifth to first, and four opponents were instantly eliminated!
With this lap speed, he was 4 seconds faster than his opponent! If he was talking about his opponent's Ah Cat and Dog, it would be fine. The problem was that he surpassed the four opponents at that time, three of whom were named Schumacher, Damon Hill, and Prost.
And you should know that his McLaren racing was not as good as Williams and Benetton racing at that time. Otherwise, he would not have to transfer from McLaren to Williams in 1994 in order to pursue better racing performance.
The strength of three top world champions in one lap is simply unimaginable in later generations. As a result, Senna did it, and he is the well-deserved "Rain God".
So Zhang Yifei's extreme operation just now may be much worse than Senna, but Prost didn't know what to ask, and he seemed to see the shadow of the young Senna.
The same genius driving, the same radical challenge!
After this curve, Zhang Yifei directly tied the gap between Xiong Long and directly ate the other party's wake with the extreme speed.
Looking at the blue Prost racing car that was already biting his head in the rearview mirror, Xiong Long felt that he was following a blue ghost! He really couldn't figure out how Zhang Yifei did not lose control and could catch up with him.
Chapter completed!
