020 Professional performance(1/2)
Lin Xiangbei turned around and left so simply. Fatty Chen was stunned for a moment, and then quickly followed him happily.
The distance between the plasma was a little far, and the fat man whispered: "Xiangbei, do you really want to run with him, and let it go for 3 seconds?"
"What about that?"
"You don't know about professional teams, Volkswagen 222 team is the top in China, and their drivers are very strong!"
After all, Fatty Chen has also rented a car on the Donghai International Raceway many times. Although his driving skills are still rubbish, his knowledge has improved a bit. At least he knows the name of Volkswagen 222 team.
"Then why didn't you say it just now?"
"You just said it? That boy is so arrogant, saying it doesn't mean we are cowardly. Are we those cowards?"
"After the horse."
Lin Xiangbei replied angrily, then continued to ask with a teasing attitude: "Then I have already answered it now, what do you think you should do?"
"I'll run!"
"You run away? Brother, don't make trouble, can you beat him?"
Just when Lin Xiangbei thought that the fat man was going to brag stupidly again, he didn't expect that Fat Man Chen replied calmly: "I can't win."
"Then what are you running?"
"I'm thick-skinned!"
Can thick-skinned be an advantage?
As soon as Lin Xiangbei was about to complain, Fat Chen replied: "You kid have never seen such a scene before. If you lose later, you will definitely feel bad if you are ridiculed."
"It doesn't matter to me, I haven't lost anyway."
Fatty Chen's words made Lin Xiangbei complain about what he wanted to say, but he didn't say it.
He glanced at Fat Chen with complicated eyes, then changed the topic and said, "By the way, don't you still have to try out? Don't you have to go?"
"Damn! I almost forgot that there is still this matter. Xiangbei, you are waiting. The next one that appears in front of you will be professional driver Chen Haitao!"
After saying this, Fatty Chen was ready to go to the fleet maintenance station to register for trial training.
But at this moment, Lin Xiangbei shouted, "Fatty!"
"what?"
Fatty Chen turned around and replied with a puzzled look on his face.
A black shadow was thrown at him in the sky. Fatty Chen subconsciously grabbed it and found that there was a Mazda car key in his hand.
"It's better to drive a fat man. This car is an old drunkard. If it is damaged, think about the consequences!"
Fatty Chen gestured an OK gesture, and then walked into the repair station of Donghai Chenguang Club.
As expected...
Lin Xiangbei was thinking before, which professional team would be blind and try to train a rookie like Fatty. Now it seems that the clubs of the rider club are suitable for him. After all, everyone is using rich experience of rookies to peck at each other, so the eldest brother won’t laugh at the second brother.
For a private ticketing team like Chenguang Club, the registration and trial training process was very fast. It took about less than twenty minutes to see Fatty Chen walk out and drive onto the track in the Mazda RX7 FC.
Generally, when the team is in trial training, they will choose to follow the qualifying mode in the competition, that is, to drive for half an hour, and choose the fastest lap as the final trial result.
However, some amateur teams do not pay much attention to it. If they drive 5 to 10 laps, as long as they can meet their trial lap standards, it is equivalent to passing the assessment.
Lin Xiangbei is not sure about the time requirements for Chenguang team for lap, but according to the team size and posture, it should be nowhere far higher. If the fat man can overtake, he might be able to get in.
Fatty Chen and several other trial drivers parked on the starting space of the track. When Lin Xiangbei was training at the Donghai International Track, he was at this starting line countless times.
Although time has returned to ten years ago, nothing has changed in the East China Sea track.
The five indicator lights above the track began to light up one after another, which means that the race time entered the countdown to 5 seconds. When the five indicator lights went out instantly, several performance cars for trial training began to eject, and the engine's violent howling sound began to resound throughout the track.
The formation looked spectacular, but Lin Xiangbei shook his head gently. The team's trial training was not even arranged to warm beads. Is it to save the cost of renting the venue?
I have to say that the Donghai International Circuit is the top F1 track in China, the venue fee is quite expensive. In the future, enthusiasts want to come up to run the track. The primary test drive fee is 2,000 yuan per hour, and the card application membership can get a discount.
If Lin Xiangbei remembers correctly, the price in this era will not be less than 300 yuan per section, which is only half an hour, and this does not include the cost of renting a car.
This is why Lin Xiangbei still promised to drive RX7 for Fatty Chen. With the current income of a car washer, it is not easy to run on the track, let alone rent a car.
This is also an advantage of Fatty Chen. The food is just a dish, but at least I don’t think about racing on the street. There are quite a few people who can have the awareness of going on the track in this era.
As for Fatty Chen’s operation on the track, it is also very consistent with Lin Xiangbei’s expectations, which is the normal level of Yicaiji on the track. The only difference is that he is far from the joints and mouth cannons, and he can see who doesn’t accept it. Cutting the second gear for 7,300 revs is just a domineering thing.
Lin Xiangbei is also very clear about the reason, that is, "poverty makes me awake". A car like Huacan can find a way to make up some paint, change the bumper, etc. If something happens to an accident with this RX7, the fat man will be afraid that he will really have to buy two hundred kilograms of body to sell meat.
After several laps of trial training, the results of Fatty Chen's genius level can be imagined.
When the boy sighed and returned to the stands, Lin Xiangbei couldn't help but tease, "Fatty, should I call you a professional driver now?"
Hearing this, Fat Chen handed the Mazda RX7 key to Lin Xiangbei and said with regret: "If this Mazda is replaced with GTR, then this track will be defeated by me, but unfortunately I can't replace it."
"Oh, so awesome, how about changing it to f1 for you?"
"I'm afraid the title of professional driver won't satisfy me. Please call me the East China Sea Car God in the future!"
"Fatty, it's time for you to take medicine!"
Lin Xiangbei and Fatty Chen were also seen by He Lei, who was standing at the entrance of the Volkswagen 222 fleet repair station.
If he had been a little wary of Lin Xiangbei based on Qin Hao's cognition before, then now he thinks that the other party is a pure rookie. Qin Hao has been racing underground cars a lot in recent years and no longer understands what a profession is!
"He Lei, are you really going to run a lap with the amateur driver later?"
The person who said this was Xia Jun, the leader of the Volkswagen 222 Youth Training Team. He just learned that He Lei was going to repair the racing station and went to the track for a lap, and was also with an amateur driver. So he asked in confusion.
"Well, just run around and have fun."
He Lei replied casually, it is normal for professional drivers to run two laps on the track, and ordinary teams don’t care so much, after all, it’s not underground racing.
"This kind of opponent is not suitable for you. If you really want to run, you can run with Qin Hao. He should soon become a member of the FCA team."
The name Qin Hao may not be familiar to ordinary people, but in the racing circle, he can win the Kart Youth Competition championship and study at the Toyota Team in Japan. He is definitely the top young driver in China. Xia Jun naturally knows the "hate and revenge" between He Lei and him.
Moreover, the FCA team has been in a fierce momentum in the past two years, and it is quite trending to challenge the status of the big brother of the Volkswagen 222 team in the East China Sea. Xia Jun hopes that his drivers can defeat the other side.
"I will run with him, but I have to be in the competition so that I can really beat him!"
For professional drivers, only the victory of the race is meaningful, otherwise no matter how fast you run, you will be the one standing in the audience and looking up at the champion.
"Okay, but don't run with such amateur drivers in the future, after all, you are not the same type of people as them."
Xia Jun instructed him that he could understand the occasional youthfulness and vitality, but he should pay attention to the boundaries and not play too much.
In history, the Donghai Volkswagen 222 team had similar things, and it was also China's top driver. The champion driver was racing on the street, which was a sensation at the time. In a sense, the plot of Han Han's "Flying Life" being revoked was borrowed from this matter.
In fact, it is not uncommon for professional drivers to run street racing. For example, Japan's most famous bay shore and capital high, there are countless professional drivers running there, and it can even be said to be a part of Japan's racing culture.
Of course, the premise is not to be caught. If you get caught, you can only be willing to bet and accept the loss.
"I see."
He Lei nodded. He actually had no interest in running with Lin Xiangbei at all. It was purely because the other party was too arrogant, so he had to show what the horror of professional drivers was.
The trial training of Chenguang Club was over, and next was a trial training for new drivers in the RV branch of the Donghai Volkswagen 222 team. Compared with the group of people who came to Fatty Chen before, this group of trial training drivers are obviously much more professional and have almost all had professional experience.
But Lin Xiangbei didn't know any of these people. After all, he took the career equation path in his previous life. Except for Han Han, Ma Qinghua, and Zhang Chendong, the top group of the top people, the others could not enter his sight at all.
Although these drivers performed well, they could only say "good". If Lin Xiangbei had run the track with a RV in his peak period in his previous life, he would be able to get rid of them at least 10 seconds!
The final trial was the Donghai FCA team. As a rising star who was "rich and powerful", the Rally Division was very strong, and later there were even WRC Division champion drivers. However, the RV Division was relatively collapsed, and the selection of new players has only begun.
Lin Xiangbei is not very interested in the strength of these new drivers, and is probably similar to the previous Donghai 222 team trial drivers. The only thing he is a little curious about is Qin Hao. From He Lei’s remarks just now, it seems that this guy is also a professional kart driver and has even been trained in Japan. In theory, he should have strong strength.
But Lin Xiangbei didn't understand why he could enter the Japanese Formula Toyota youth training camp, why did he run underground in Guangdong Province?
It is undeniable that there are indeed experts in underground racing, especially mountain track events. Many professional drivers are flocking to it and run around to play with it without any trouble.
For example, the prototype of Fujiwara Takumi in "Initial D", Japan's GT champion, and Le Mans' 24-hour annual runner-up Keishi Toya, was born as the king of mountain road drifting. Later, because of the excessive drifting of mountain roads, the Japanese Professional Racing Association considered that it damaged the reputation of the driver and his professional racing license was revoked for a while.
However, in China, there are very few such masters of swinging between profession and streets. At least Lin Xiangbei has never heard of it in his previous life. Qin Hao puts the "broad prospect" of Formula drivers without making it, and becomes an underground driver's choice. It is really difficult to understand.
So with this curiosity, Lin Xiangbei paid attention to Qin Hao's trial training, wanting to see how strong this guy who "flows to the lower part" is now.
Each team has its own tank. For example, the car used for the Volkswagen 222 team is Volkswagen Polo GTI, and the tank of the East China Sea FCA team is Subaru WRX Sti. The Chinese name may be more familiar to everyone, that is Subaru Impreza.
Subaru wrx The first generation of STI was born very close to that of Mitsubishi Evo, and was also born for the WRC rally. It is precisely because of this reason that Subaru wrx Sti and Mitsubishi Evo had a fateful duel that was nearly twenty years!
However, this is all about the rallying field. If Lin Xiangbei remembers correctly the record of Subaru Impreza Sti on the East China Sea International Raceway, the RV lap record of the Donghai International Raceway was driven by Han Han, and the standard track ran a domestic record of 2 minutes, 10 seconds, 64.
If Han Han’s track record is compared, it will be easier to see Qin Hao’s strength in the field race. It’s just a pity that Qin Hao did not choose Subaru Impreza, which drove the FCA team, but his Nissan GTR.
The regular warm bead ended, and the five indicator lights above the track began to light up one after another, which meant counting down for 5 seconds. When all the indicator lights went out, several racing cars in the trial ejected from the parking space, but just one start, you can see Qin Hao widening the gap with other test drivers, which is simply not on the same level!
"It's worthy of being gtr, so fast!"
Fatty Chen was extremely excited at this time, but he was not cheering for his dream car (Dream Car), the "American God of War" gtr.
Lin Xiangbei nodded perfunctorily. Judging from this starting point alone, Qin Hao's basic skills are very solid, and he deserves to be a kart since he was a kid. However, the final lap score depends on the subsequent curves, which is the key point.
The layout of the Donghai International Raceway is designed according to the Chinese character "年", and the position of turn 1 of the track is at the top of the character "年".
However, the actual turn 1 on the track is not a right-angle bend with clear horizontal and vertical Chinese characters, but is spiral, and it is connected to turn 2, turn 3, and even turn 4 at the same time.
It can be said that Turn 1 of Donghai International Speedway is the essence of the entire track. If you can cut Turn 1 well, then there should be no big problem in the subsequent turn.
To be continued...
