161 You are not satisfied
"What?"
I heard the sound of the fleet strategy group coming from the headphones again. For a moment, Clock doubted whether he had heard it wrong.
"Atkinson, what did the team just say?"
To determine this number, he asked the navigator Ben Atkinson.
To be honest, for the rally driver, the team can be replaced, but the navigator is basically bound for a lifetime and is his most trusted partner on the career path, so Clock almost subconsciously asked the navigator for confirmation.
"We're behind by 0.2 seconds, now it's 2.7 seconds."
Compared with drivers, the navigator generally has a relatively calm personality, or even calmer one. Li Wenfeng and Lin Xiangbei's partner is actually an alternative.
The reason is that the pressure the pilot is under is actually smaller than the driver and pays more attention to logical thinking. At critical moments, the pilot also needs to provide psychological counseling to the driver to help relieve stress and stabilize emotions.
So Atkinson was not as excited as Clock, and he heard the numbers clearly.
"2.7 seconds? Can I get over two seconds from two stages?"
Kloak was a little excited now. You should know that these are just two SS stages, which does not represent the whole day's segment, let alone the complete track.
There are 22 ss stages in the branch race. According to this trend, you must not lead by dozens of seconds after the branch race?
Clock was completely unacceptable. He was led by a Chinese newcomer, let alone so much lead!
"Klock, this is just a way to detect the road, and it does not mean anything. Our opponent is not a Chinese, but a powerful enemy like Mick and Katsuda Fanyan."
Atkinson knows Clock's personality very well. As the defending champion of the Asia-Pacific Rally and even in fact, the strongest rally driver in Asia, he naturally has a kind of arrogance and does not want the drivers he looks down upon to rank ahead.
However, this is not a solo match between Clock and Lin Xiangbei. If you do your best to catch up and expose your strength due to emotional dissatisfaction at this time, it is easy for other opponents to find out their trump card.
So Atkinson felt that he could bear it for a while and just wait until the main game to defeat all his opponents.
When he heard the name Mick, Clock himself suppressed his emotions without Atkinson's persuasion.
If he treats this Asia-Pacific Rally, who he regards as his competitor, there is no doubt that Mick will be ranked first.
After all, this is an international rally champion driver and has signed a contract with the WRC team. As long as I can defeat him, I will have a chance to stand on the top wRC stage in the rally next year.
Clock is just unhappy with his superiority, which does not mean that he will be an out of control rookie. If this is the case, he will not be able to become the defending champion of the Asia-Pacific Rally.
"Chinese rookie, you are very lucky. When I kill Mick, I will kill you again!"
The same team voice also happened to Mick of Peugeot. After the ss1 stage, he began to increase his speed, wanting to shorten the gap with Lin Xiangbei, or even overtake it back.
In Mick's opinion, Lin Xiangbei's ability to run at such a speed is definitely not a leading position, but a Chinese newcomer who was young and frivolous, tried his best to attract attention during the road survey.
In fact, this situation is common in competitive sports. Many new players start high and end low. The reason is that they use too much force at the beginning and will directly deflate later, which will not be well distributed in rhythm and physical fitness.
After a few days of competition in the rally, it has never been as simple as technical work, but also a physical work.
The more physical energy is consumed at the back, the more difficult it is to control the racing car accurately. Therefore, experienced drivers will not do their best during the road survey stage, which will consume a lot of mental state and will easily be exhausted later.
"Paul, has our ss2 stage narrowed the gap?"
Mick didn't name it, but after years of partnership, Paul Nage also understood who he was referring to.
"No, it's still 2.1 seconds."
"North is the same speed as us?"
Mick was really surprised now. You should know that after the ss1 stage, he had actually started to be more serious and wanted to win the fastest title in the stage.
According to Mick's estimate, there is no suspense for Chinese rookies like Lin Xiangbei in his own state. As for whether they have the fastest title, it depends on the performance of several major competitors, but it is highly likely that they do not have the speed of their own.
Unexpectedly, he didn't even do it faster than Lin Xiangbei!
"Is the newcomer of the Dragon Team really that powerful?"
Now Mick began to realize that something was wrong. He had never participated in the Asia-Pacific rally before. The reason was that compared with European racing level, Asian racing is better than Africa among the five continents.
Unless it is impossible for Europe to make a fortune, it is impossible to come to Asia to run professional racing.
Mick is in his career growth period. If it weren't for Peugeot's request and the amount given was considerable, he would never have come to participate.
Theoretically, the Asia-Pacific Rally drivers, except for the strongest ones who can barely compete with them, are all crushed, let alone Chinese drivers.
Question is Lin Xiangbei still a newcomer. When can all Asian newcomers compete with him?
Even if this is the time when Lin Xiangbei went out with all his strength, it is a bit too exaggerated and completely in line with the standards of Chinese drivers.
"I don't know, except for the Hong Kong Island short track results, he has not participated in the official professional rally."
"And with his age and Fia's racing license, it is difficult to fake this professional resume. He is indeed a newcomer."
Paul is a very competent navigator. He has thoroughly studied the information of competitors, and even small minions like Lin Xiangbei did not ignore them.
"It is difficult for Europe to meet such a strong newcomer. I didn't expect to be a Chinese driver."
"I don't know if this is his strongest strength or he can be stronger."
Compared with Australian drivers like Clock who specializes in Asia, European and British drivers like Mick are not very hostile to Lin Xiangbei except for some superiority.
After all, under normal circumstances, two people are considered drivers of "two worlds". If they were not reborn in this world, there would be no Chinese rally drivers in the next ten years, running on the European track.
As for WRC-level drivers, there is no chance to fight with Chinese drivers, and the two sides have no intersection at all.
So putting aside the initial surprise, Mick began to take Lin Xiangbei seriously. This kind of newcomer is indeed very strong.
"It should be his strongest level. I really can't imagine that a Chinese rally can be stronger."
Paul thought for a while and gave an answer that he thought was more objective.
If this is not Lin Xiangbei's strongest strength, then it means that this Chinese driver really has the ability to confront Mick?
Not to mention a newcomer in China, even the strongest driver in Asia, he would barely compete with Mick.
In this world, there is no such talented new driver in addition to the European Formula, and it is even more impossible for him to exist in China!
"I'll hurry up the ss3 stage and see if he can bite it!"
Even if Mick doesn't want to deal with it with all his strength, it doesn't mean that he plans to let Lin Xiangbei lead the way.
In the ss3 stage, he will run faster and see where Lin Xiangbei's extreme speed limit is!
As the timing point passed through the ss2 stage, Lin Xiangbei's final time was passed from the event command center to the console display of each team. He won the shortest time again with a time of 7 minutes 21 seconds 2.
"Uncle Xu, Lin Xiangbei has been training for half a year. Is he really that strong?"
This time, Feng Bingman broke the previous silence in the convoy tent.
When Feng Bingman saw the fastest time to use the ss1 stage, he was actually very shocked.
When she was still racing underground, she realized that Lin Xiangbei was definitely not a thing in the pool. If she became a professional driver, she would definitely be able to achieve some results on the track.
She didn't have contact for half a year, and she did not witness Lin Xiangbei's speed and growth like other team members. Even though she saw Lin Xiangbei get the title of Chinese driver on TV, the venue is not the same as pulling force after all, and the "All-Star" event lacks some credibility.
When the ss1 stage was catching the road and reached the top, Feng Bingman still thought he was wondering if he was an idol. As a result, two consecutive stages were used the fastest, this was absolutely impossible to be a coincidence. Lin Xiangbei was so fast!
Even if Feng Bingman is not a person in a professional circle, she has been exposed to racing and understands that the Asia-Pacific Rally is almost equivalent to the ceiling of Chinese drivers.
Being able to participate in this event is already a symbol of China's strongest driver. As for running the fastest speed, it is a bit of a luxury. As a result, Lin Xiangbei has done it now, even if it is just a road survey, it is incredible.
"This kid is very strong, but not that strong."
During the training before, the old drunkard knew very well that Lin Xiangbei was powerful. After all, the Guangzhou-Shenzhen Base Track surpassed him in three days, which was simply a terrifying genius.
But I have never participated in the official competition and have not sped on the real rally track. In addition, I have retired for many years, so I don’t know the strength of the rally drivers now.
So the old drunkard could not be sure what kind of results Lin Xiangbei could achieve in the competition.
But now, he already had the answer in his mind. Even if the young and frivolous boy Kanlu was running with all his might, he could use the fastest time in two consecutive stages, which was enough to be called a top Asian trolley driver.
This is already terrifyingly strong for the newcomer!
"Xiang Beijun is very powerful. We didn't underestimate him, but he was faster than the upper limit we overestimate."
To be honest, before the game, Genji Ito's data analysis of Lin Xiangbei was the top ten in the road survey stage, and theoretically it would be better to even enter the top five.
On the SSL5 section, Hiroshi Yanagi from the cusco team drove Toyota Zhixuan to get the first place in the road. As a local snake, he needs to prove his home advantage.
Just when everyone thought Lin Xiangbei had already started high and walked down, the ss6 stage was used to survey the road and the fastest time point was taken down by Lin Xiangbei again, and he became a powerful driver to land!
Ss7, Ss8 until the end of the last time trial stage of Ss12. During the process, different drivers may be at the top of the list, but when the total time appears, Lin Xiangbei takes the absolute advantage of 5 seconds ahead of the second place, and surpasses the two median opponents, winning the shortest time to survey the first segment.
The final result came out and the entire pit base was sensational. This may be the first time in the history of the rally event that a Chinese driver had achieved the first place in the test drive.
