163 Race starts

When Lin Xiangbei was conducting track data analysis, the maintenance team was not idle either, but compared to the situation, the situation was not very optimistic.

The reason is that the strong suspension brings a better cornering tilt posture, but the buffering ability in the face of impact is obviously insufficient, and the racing bushings and swing arms are deformed and displaced.

You should know that the deformation and displacement of the suspension will directly affect the accuracy of the control, especially in high-level competitions. A slight operation error will determine this corner, whether you have the limit or overturned.

"Evans, can you stick to this kind of adjustment plan in the main competition?"

The old drunkard asked Evans, the chief technician of the Le Mans level, can be called the world's top maintenance technician, and controls the final decision-making power for racing tuning. Even the old drunkard, the competition engineer, had to ask for his opinion.

"The deformation amplitude is not very large, and the buffering of snow and mud is better than that of sand, gravel and asphalt pavement. As long as he has the confidence to adapt to the difference between subtle manipulation, I think he should pursue a speed adjustment plan."

Evans had not expressed his opinion on the selection of the adjustment plan before.

The reason is that he has no idea about Lin Xiangbei's control of his strength.

After all, he and Genji Ito joined the team at the end, and had a short time to get in touch with Lin Xiangbei, and he had never experienced any professional events.

Previously, Evans did not trust Lin Xiangbei's strength because of his prejudice against Chinese drivers. However, with the holding of the ROC National Cup, he changed many of his previous views.

So Evans didn't want to make a definition for Lin Xiangbei in advance, but decided based on the opponent's strength and manipulation performance.

The first-class road survey has proved Lin Xiangbei's control and strength. On the basis of being confident, the ultimate pursuit of any racing sport is speed. Only faster speed can awaken the speed and passion in the heart!

"Okay, let's determine the current adjustment plan."

The old drunkard finally nodded in agreement. Maybe no one expected that Lin Xiangbei's first official professional competition would be so extreme in all aspects!

The maintenance area passed overnight, and soon the second section of the road survey began. With the experience of the first day, it can be said that Lin Xiangbei and Li Wenfeng both had a great improvement in both track adaptation and psychological state.

But the other teams began to change their mentality at this time. They thought they were Chinese drivers who made up the numbers, but they directly scored first and became a strong opponent on the track.

They were not sure whether this was Lin Xiangbei's normal performance or the extreme speed that he ran for "vanity".

So at this time, there is a question in front of the well-known drivers. Should we show our true skills for the second road survey or continue at the usual pace.

However, there is still a question in front of you, that is, you have done your best to win this false reputation. But will they continue to follow up with the powerful enemies who are truly threatening? After all, in the heart, the seed drivers in the top Asian Pacific Rally are still not treating Lin Xiangbei as their real opponent.

In fact, this kind of road survey situation is also very common in WRC. The world's top rally drivers such as Loeb, Ogil, and Shivonin basically maintain the test road survey time of their test road survey at about 1 second.

It is obvious that maintaining this gap in most cases is not very scientific, so it can be concluded that this is a tacit understanding between top drivers.

Everyone should try to preserve their strength and not consume their physical strength before the race. At the same time, they should maintain a relatively decent test results so that they will not embarrass their opponents too much.

After all, if you leave it for more than ten seconds and a half minutes, it will look like you are not a match in the same level in terms of data. Even if you, Loeb, have dominated the track, other drivers will not be so willing to be "humiliated".

There is this balance between the track seed drivers, but Lin Xiangbei does not!

He is a pure newcomer, and he is also a Chinese driver who is not optimistic about at all. He can run the fastest and make a profit, and even if he loses it, he won't lose money.

After all, no one would think that Lin Xiangbei had any hope of winning the championship before the game. In a sense, this is also a barefoot person who is not afraid of wearing shoes.

So in the second section of the road survey, Lin Xiangbei and Li Wenfeng still took the state of "pursuing competitions instead of training" and drove the express train as he pleased.

But this time, the lead is not as exaggerated as before. After all, whether it is the quasi-WRC driver Mick, the defending champion Clock, or even several top Japanese local rally drivers, they are actually not weak in terms of hard power.

If Lin Xiangbei hadn't appeared, even if Chinese double champion Han Han ran with them, he would not have escaped the fate of being crushed.

After the second section of the road survey, Lin Xiangbei won the fastest test road survey with a time of 1 hour, 25 minutes, 3 seconds, 6, and led the second place Klopp by 1.1 seconds. As for Mick, Katsuda Fan Yan and others, the gap remained at about 1 second.

It is obvious that the gap between yesterday made these seed players feel a little bit over the face, and today their speed has increased a lot.

However, the final result may have a greater shock than the first road surveying and testing.

The reason is very simple. In the first section of road surveying and testing, all the drivers were still in a state of being a little bit detained, and no one showed a serious attitude. As Lin Xiangbei became the first in the second section of road surveying, many drivers felt unbearable, and their speed and condition had significantly improved a lot.

As a result, they all ran like this, and they were still the fastest time they were used by Chinese kids. Is this guy really strong?

"It's interesting, Mick, do you think the Chinese driver will become a strong opponent this time?"

Paul, the peugeot navigator, asked Mick next to him as he looked at the final use of refresh.

Nikan and others have actually entered the competition state, and as the racing adjustment is completed, their adaptability to the Sapporo track has also been greatly enhanced.

If the Chinese newcomer does not have strong enough strength, then Erjian will definitely be left behind.

In fact, Lin Xiangbei not only did not get rid of it, but also won the first place in the road survey again, which was completely beyond the expectations of Peugeot Motorcycle.

"It is absolutely impossible to be a coincidence that I can get the first place in two consecutive days of test drives. This Chinese newcomer is very strong!"

Mick nodded, and he began to put Lin Xiangbei in his opponent's position in his heart.

But he couldn't understand why a Chinese newcomer could run so fast, is it a factor in racing performance or his ability to adapt to the track?

Anyway, Mick couldn't believe that Lin Xiangbei had truly reached the level of a world-class genius driver in terms of hard power, which was absolutely impossible!

However, there are some loopholes in both points. The Dragon Team is indeed much stronger than the average private team in terms of financial strength, but it is still impossible to compare with the team.

Take Lin Xiangbei's Subaru Racing for example. Lin Xiangbei's driving north is still the WRC last Subaru Racing. The performance and layout are really not advanced. The four-door long wheelbase also affects the drift speed under complex multi-bend terrain.

And Clock, who is also driving a Subaru racing car, may not be able to tell what the term "中文版" means.

However, when you know that Yimei Group is Subaru Automobile and its largest dealer in the Asia-Pacific region, you should understand that this is actually equivalent to a "half-factory team", and it is impossible for you to lag behind the Dragon Team in terms of technical support.

Therefore, the performance advantages of racing are not valid in front of Clock!

As for track adaptability, there is a high possibility. Every driver has his own track environment. For example, Loeb is very good at paving roads such as asphalt and cement. The fastest speed of corner cutting can be achieved using the field driver's running method.

Finnish genius driver Shivonin has an amazing drifting strength. He became the main driver of WRC Ford at the age of 23, and was the only two threatening player in Loeb's peak championship period, almost ending the record of the nine-time champion.

With the attitude of a newcomer, Lin Xiangbei can run at such a speed on the Sapporo track. Will he be better at ice and snowy roads?

If this is the case, a hint of ridicule appeared on the corner of Mick's mouth. It seemed that Chinese drivers were isolated from the world for too long and no longer understood the changes in the outside world's running methods. The way of drifting and opening and closing has become outdated, and other road environments except for the ice and snow track will be significantly behind!

The participating drivers were speculating on Lin Xiangbei, but he didn't care about his first place in the road survey. He still maintained his own pace and reviewed the video with Genji Ito.

"You have a right-angle bend in the SSS13 section, and your brake point is too late, and the rear of the car has already rubbed against the tree trunk."

"The ss14's attitude of flying in the air is not very good. After landing, it slowed down and adjusted the front direction, losing too much speed."

"The iconic corner of SSL14, you made some mistakes in your line, which is much worse than Clock."

"Ss17 stage, this is your slowest stage. You need to find out what the reason is."

Based on the video and the data recorded during the road survey, Ito Genji analyzed something wrong with Lin Xiangbei a little bit.

To be honest, many curves of rally racing depend on drivers' on-the-spot performance, experience, and even luck!

Sometimes the poor wiring is actually not harmful, and the overall speed and stability are pursued.

However, Ito Genji is from the Honda F1 team, and his control over details far exceeds the needs of ordinary rally teams, almost according to the standards of the equation.

If it were an ordinary rally driver, he might not be able to adapt to the style of Ito Genji. However, Lin Xiangbei is different. Ito Genji's accuracy requirements are very consistent with his control habits and requirements, so the two people's analysis and cooperation after the race are extremely harmonious.

"The other point is that Xiangbeijun, you don't pay enough attention to tire protection during the track. The ice and snow track is not worn much, but if you run sand and gravel or other paved roads, your tire loss will be too high and it will be easy to blow up the tire."

Because Lin Xiangbei was either training or running short track pulling before, there was basically no concept of protecting the fetus.

Therefore, during the road survey stage, he also ran as fast as possible. In addition, even if the ice and snow surface drifted, the tires would not wear much. At most, he would run away the metal nails of the nails, which would affect the racing grip and not reach the risk of tire blowout.

However, anything happened unexpectedly, especially after two days of road survey, a layer of snow on the forest path had been repeatedly rolled into the soil layer, and there were signs of mud and gravel track mixing.

In this case, the wear of racing tires will increase a lot, so we have to pay attention to this problem.

Actually, to be serious, the tire protection strategy of rally is much more complicated than F1.

Because rally racing may face different track environments throughout the day, drivers even need to bring two spare tires themselves and prepare to replace them at any time.

The reason why Loeb was able to create the miracle of the Nine Crown King was not only his advanced running style, but also his savings and caution, which was very similar to the mentality of some of the F1 tire protection masters. If you can avoid losing the tires, you will not lose any loss at all. You can minimize the swing of the car body in the corners, so you can find a way to set the corner angle in advance.

To be honest, his running style is not as good as a Nordic driver in the rally, and it is quite similar to the style of another king Prost in the Senna era.

If he did not have the nine-winning results, he might have won the title of Car God just like Senna and Prost, just like the battle between Prost and Prost, who won the three-winning results, while Prost, who won the four-winning results, was slightly inferior to the charming.

Because many times, racing not only depends on the results, but also on the blood and passion of a driver. The way of running is too conservative, and it cannot resonate with the audience!

In this way, the mechanical inspection phase of a day passed quickly, and the time came to November 15th, which was the main time of the opening match of the Asia-Pacific Rally!

At four o'clock in the morning, Lin Xiangbei had already gotten up and started preparing for the pre-match, because the competition period of the rally was very long and was basically in a high-intensity competition state with a continuous rotation.

Once there are more vehicles and groups in the competition, the highest group will be given priority to start, so Lin Xiangbei's A8 group naturally needs to prepare early. Otherwise, dozens of teams and nearly 100 rally drivers in the venue will have to delay more than two hours just one or two minutes apart, and they must prepare time as early as possible.

At dawn, Lin Xiangbei drove the racing car to the participating repair area, preparing to undergo pre-race car inspection. At this time, the sun had not yet risen. He thought that except for the contestants and staff, there would be no audience coming on the cold winter night.

It was only when he reached the scene that he realized that he was wrong. There were already thousands of rally fans outside the pit area waiting for the drivers to prepare before the race.

Even when Lin Xiangbei's Dragon Team Subaru racing appeared, it caused a lot of commotion.

"The Chinese boy has appeared, I want to see what he can achieve in the main competition."

"If you can first find the road twice, your strength should not be much worse."

"The road surveillance results are never equal to the main race. Chinese racing is not worthy of having a name in Asia!"

Lin Xiangbei couldn't understand these Japanese comments anyway, but he suddenly discovered that a Japanese driver had been keeping his eyes on him since he arrived, and his friendliness was not very good.

Lin Xiangbei was a little puzzled by this gaze, but this did not delay him from looking back!
