059 One-handed F1

The old drunkard was full of doubts at this time. Judging from the driving skills Lin Xiangbei showed before, he could not even understand the most basic control of handbrake drift.

However, during the entire driving process from Lin Xiangbei, he seemed to completely ignore the existence of the handbrake. Even if he only made a drifting move, he still relied on his footbrake.

You should know that although both the handbrake and the footbrake can move, there are still essential differences between the two.

To explain it in the simplest language, that is, the drift of the pull-hand brake can make the car slide at a larger angle and be suitable for more narrow curves.

For example, the 90-degree right-angle bend where Lin Xiangbei had just failed to drift, or the U-shaped bend like the five consecutive hairpin bend of Akimeyama.

As for foot brake, you can better pursue speed in corners. If the driver's foot brake and heel toe movements are perfectly matched, the cornering speed will not be reduced too much.

This is also the way Lin Xiangbei chose, to go through the corner at the fastest speed, but just take it off.

However, no matter which method you choose, a driver will not completely ignore the existence of the handbrake, especially when it is out of control, the chance of using a handbrake to rescue the car is much higher than the chance of using a foot brake.

So the old drunkard was a little confused. Why did Lin Xiangbei's driving skills make such an entry-level mistake?

In fact, it is normal for an old alcoholic to not understand it. That is, the racing car that Lin Xiangbei drove, there is really no such thing as handbrake. It can even be said that in Lin Xiangbei's professional knowledge, there is no such concept of handbrake. It is very good to think of it occasionally.

As for the reason why your hands don't leave the steering wheel, it's even simpler. Formula racing, especially F1 racing cars, do not have the steering wheel assistance. During the entire high-speed turning process, the force of turning the steering wheel may be as high as dozens of kilograms.

It is no exaggeration to say that those who can drive F1 racing are the Kirin arms, and holding the steering wheel tightly at any time with both hands is a must-do. Lin Xiangbei is just driving according to his habits.

In the entire F1 racing world, basically, except Kubica, no driver will drive F1 with one hand when he goes in a corner.

Moreover, the reason why Kubica had one-handed was because during the resignation of the F1 team, he started the rally in order to maintain the competitive feel. As a result, the accident caused serious arm injury, resulting in a muscle atrophy of one hand and unable to exert force. When he was forced to turn the steering wheel a lot, he could only use one hand.

So there are some online jokes in later generations, and their specialty is to drive a Ferrari with one hand. Then I dare not brag about this kind of shame in front of Kubica, because this guy really drives a F1 with one hand!

Perhaps even if the old alcoholic's imagination has doubled several times, he cannot imagine the reason behind the low-level "mistakes" because of the Lin Xiangbei F1 driver.

Similarly, Lin Xiangbei could not explain this reason, so he could only reply in a concealed manner: "The tracks are all venues that do not need to drift, and even if they are racing underground with Fatty Chen, the East China Sea is mainly on the streets and have never run any mountain roads."

"So I'm really not used to the operation of pulling the handbrake drift."

This reason can be considered as barely passing. After all, whether it is the track or the streets of the East China Sea, there is really little room for drifting. Lin Xiangbei is unfamiliar with the operation of handbrake drifting, which is actually reasonable.

Just when the old drunkard was trying to say something, Brother Niu ran over panting, looking at Lin Xiangbei and the others nervously and asked, "How about it, are you not injured, are you?"

"It's okay, it's just that the car crashed."

Lin Xiangbei replied that, like rally racing cars, they all have made up many welding points on the frame, strengthened the overall frame structure, and all the racing cars are equipped with roll cages.

Unless you really encounter someone who is like rolling down a cliff, you may be particularly unlucky to be hit by an important part of your body by auto parts, otherwise the risk of general accidents is actually not very high.

If Lin Xiangbei swung his tail and hit the car, except for the deformation of the rear fender of the Mitsubishi Evo, there is basically no impact on it.

"It's good if people are fine."

Brother Niu was relieved when he heard Lin Xiangbei say it was okay.

After all, he is not a retired professional driver like Old Drunk, and he has a relatively clear understanding of Lin Xiangbei's driving skills, so he is really worried that he will have any accidents when he suddenly goes to the track to practice.

"Uncle Xu, the fender has been deformed. Should we fix it first before continuing?"

Lin Xiangbei drove a total of several hundred meters and crashed after two turns. To be honest, he was a little dissatisfied at this moment and wanted to prove his.

"build?"

The old drunkard had a hint of disdain in his tone, and then walked to the rear of the Mitsubishi evo, and kicked it down a few times at the deformed position of the sheet metal, forcibly "kicked" the deformed rear fender back to its approximate shape.

Damn...

Lin Xiangbei looked at the violent "car repair" method of the old drunkard, and felt that my friends and I were shocked.

Because he drove an F1 race car in his previous life, he had a deep impression of the most technologically-rich racing car on Blue Star.

You should know that F1 is very expensive. Not to mention this kind of sheet metal deformation, even if there are scratches on the shell part, the pneumatic kit will be replaced in order to ensure the removal of hidden dangers.

As for maintenance, there were dozens of teams of top engineers and technicians surrounding the F1 car. When did you see this simple and rough maintenance method?

Maybe seeing Lin Xiangbei's shocked look, Brother Niu smiled and leaned over to explain.

"From north, you will understand that the sledgehammer and tape in the rally car are the most important core maintenance tools."

That's right, for rally cars, there is not enough time to repair the car in every race.

Generally speaking, if there is any sheet metal deformation in a racing car, you can kick it with your feet. If you can't handle it, you can just use the sledgehammer. If you hit it with one hammer, you can knock it back to the original shape.

If plastic parts such as front and rear bumpers, windows, and headlights cannot be repaired by sledgehammer sheet metal, then you can only use another magical artifact - the tape method!

If you can't install parts and don't have time to replace them, just stick them with tape before talking about them.

Therefore, during many rally racing, you can see the car broken and the entire rear of the car is covered with various tape. Don’t be surprised to see this scene, it is a normal "repair" method for rally racing.

After the old drunkard kicked the fender back to its original state, he said to Lin Xiangbei with a calm expression: "Get in the car and continue."

Then he opened the car door and sat in the passenger seat again.

"Brother Niu, then I'll get to familiar with the track first."

Lin Xiangbei said goodbye to Brother Niu, and opened the door of the cab and sat in.

But this time, he found that the old drunkard had an additional helmet on his head.
