“Fuck!”

When Clock heard the name, he couldn't help but scream.

He thought that even if he couldn't run the fastest time, the opponent who could beat him must be at Mik's level, and again, the previous Japanese rival Hiroshi Yanagawa and Fan Yan of Katsuda.

It’s fine if Chinese rookies are the first to run to the top, but they can still be the first in the race timer section. When will the Chinese rally driver really be so powerful?

To be honest, Clock has not been in a matchup with Chinese drivers before. In previous years, some Chinese drivers occasionally participated in the small displacement level of the Asia-Pacific Rally Group N.

He knew very well that on the same track, at least ten minutes, he was not a driver of the same level at all, which led to Clock's mentality of not taking Chinese drivers seriously from beginning to end.

Now this situation is completely beyond his common sense. Can I really not be able to beat the Chinese newcomer?

“How much behind are we?”

Navigator Atkinson asked, "Compared with drivers, navigators are generally more rational."

"1.17 seconds, currently ranked fourth."

"I see."

After finishing the call with the team, Atkinson began to talk to Clock and said: "The length of the ss1 stage is less than 10 kilometers. Now we are about 0.12 seconds behind each kilometer. This gap cannot be considered small. We need to find a way to get faster."

Under normal circumstances, the gap between the top three in a single time trial stage is maintained at about 1 second. Especially in top rally events like WRC, the gap between the top three in the entire branch station, which may be hundreds of kilometers, may be kept within the range of single-digit seconds.

However, the rally event is a particularly polarized competition. The level of WRC is better, at least the threshold is here. The time difference between the top ten and the last one is not affected by any fault, at most it will be half an hour.

However, in some low-level events, the first ones are super god drivers, and the next ones are super ghosts, so the time difference is completely incomparable.

After all, there are too many unknown accidents in the rally event. You can get off the car by simply blowing a tire, or just a few minutes or more, and a gap of half an hour will occur.

Therefore, the overall use of rally events is not very meaningful, you just need to bite the front row driver.

0.12 seconds behind per kilometer. If this gap is used after the overall event, it means that the gap between the strength of the two drivers is still relatively large. However, in the SSS1 section, this is not a big lag at all, and can be recovered at any time.

Take the ninth-winning champion of the rally event, Loeb, for example. His driving style is quite stable, and he can even be described as conservative. He always does not make mistakes in the first section and saves tires. When the car runs too much driving line, he will speed up and create pressure on his opponent. This catch-up posture can easily make his opponent make mistakes and lead to a reversal of the situation.

Lin Xiangbei is now in the lead. This kind of new driver can run the shortest time in the SS1 stage. In a sense, he has indeed underestimated him before.

However, no matter how skilled the newcomer is, what he really cannot settle down is his mentality. According to Atkinson's estimate, this speed should be Lin Xiangbei's limit. So Clock will appropriately increase the speed to shorten the gap with Lin Xiangbei, and bring psychological pressure to the Chinese newcomer.

After all, seeing himself leading the way in the ss1 stage, and then facing the opponents are getting closer and closer, the newcomers may become more and more anxious to maintain their advantages.

If you are anxious, you will be confused! Once you make any major mistakes, Lin Xiangbei will be sentenced to death in this game!

Clock is also a senior rally driver. He is still very clear about these principles and tactics. He was able to win the Asia-Pacific Rally Championship last year. In fact, it was also due to his more stable performance that he forced Hiroshi Yanagi of the Cocus team to make a mistake in the last stop, thus finally seizing the victory.

If Lin Xiangbei was not a Chinese newcomer, but a British driver like Mick, I guess Cloak would not show any dissatisfaction and would continue to endure it.

"I understand, in the ss2 stage, the Chinese guys will feel the pressure of being chased."

Clock made the next decision to accelerate. He didn't have to go crazy with Lin Xiangbei's time, but he must definitely oppress him very strongly, so that this Chinese newcomer can't get rid of his own!

In fact, it is not just Clock. After the other front row drivers learned the timing of the ss1 stage, they almost made the same decisions, which will accelerate in the next schedule and use psychological tactics to increase the possibility of Lin Xiangbei's mistakes.

"After the ss1 stage is over, even if we don't monitor the data, we can feel the drivers' speed from the shooting screen."

"It is obvious that the speed of the Chinese newcomers has stimulated the well-known drivers participating in the event. They want to use strategies and tactics to put pressure on Chinese drivers to make mistakes and overtake."

"I don't know if driver Bei can withstand such a psychological offensive, but in the camera, you can see that his wiring is very stable and smooth, without any sign of a newcomer at all, and there is indeed a solid foundation!"

After Kimura Kazuo talked about Lin Xiangbei's situation, he also explained the situation of several other drivers.

"The contestants in the No. 9 car parked on the track. From the front hood that started to smoke, it seemed that there was a problem with the engine cooling."

"The No. 15 team has already rushed out of the track, and luckily the contestants were not hurt. From the dialogue at the event center, we can know that there was a problem with their turn to the organization, and this segment event should be ready to withdraw from the competition."

"Cross No. 11 also rushed out of the track, and the rear of the car hit the tree trunk, which had already undergone serious deformation overall. It seems that it is very difficult to repair it in a short period of time."

"It's just that the No. 11 team is not a track that was broken by a racing failure, but it is obviously too fast during the acceleration process and makes mistakes in cornering drifting. From the information, we see that the No. 11 team is a young driver from Malaysia. It seems that Lin Xiangbei, who is not as mentally stable as Lin Xiangbei, is not as stable as the No. 13 team."

Thomas listened to the event broadcast of Kazuo Kimura, and also added a few words in the middle, but his eyes and attention were more focused on Lin Xiangbei's racing car.

He wanted to see when this Chinese boy would make serious mistakes when he would withdraw from the game under pressure.

But the picture Thomas wanted to see never appeared. Lin Xiang's curve was very steady and smooth, and there was no sign of any young new driver.

"Uncle Xu, are we still ahead now?"

After seeing the timing sign of the ss2 stage, Lin Xiangbei spoke and asked the old drunkard.

"No, currently ranked second, 0.71 seconds behind Hiroshi Yanagawa."

The old drunkard's voice came from his headphones, and there was no anxiety because of Lin Xiangbei's backwardness.

On the contrary, all this was as expected by him, and Lin Xiangbei was not slow.

“Does it need acceleration?”

"No, the tires are worn very well and the suspension data is healthy, and there is no time for the final battle."

The reason why the old alcoholic asked Lin Xiangbei to follow the fleet strategy instead of releasing the speed at his best was that during the previous test drive sweeping process, the tires and suspension were very damaged and were almost on the verge of failure.

In rally cars, many drivers are not slow at absolute speeds, and their time trials are more than Loeb and Ogil, but those who can finally stand on the podium are always those old faces.

The reason is stability. Lin Xiangbei has always pursued absolute speed, and the old alcoholic's professional experience for more than ten years told him that the rally competition is about rhythm and final performance.

So he must appropriately suppress Lin Xiangbei's radicalism, protect the health of racing tires and suspension, and win the final victory!

"Uncle Xu, I think I can be faster within the safe range."

Lin Xiangbei knew very well what the old drunkard was thinking, and he could also understand what the team's tactical intentions wanted to achieve.

After all, I was an F1 driver in my previous life. Even though I had never been involved in rally events, I had never eaten pork or seen pigs. Lin Xiangbei was actually easy to understand these things, let alone receiving half a year of rally training in this life.

Even Lin Xiangbei could realize that the generation gap between his thinking between him and the older generation of Chinese drivers was considered radical, and he could not be called a "hard" in the later F1 track.

But compared with the driver's thinking in this era, they are really too focused on stability and conservatism!

Of course, this is not only a backward concept, but also a cautious attitude towards Lin Xiangbei's identity as a "newcomer" to participate in the competition. The various reasons combined all make the old alcoholic and the team strategy, and the prerequisite for formulating is to conform to Lin Xiangbei's current identity and strength.

However, Lin Xiangbei is no longer satisfied with his current identity as a "newcomer". At the same time, he has realized that his opponents in Asia are not as powerful as he imagined.

Since the opponent is a group of "weak chickens", why do you still have to play with them step by step? I have this strength, isn't it good to reduce the dimensionality?

At least Lin Xiangbei now believes that he has the possibility of winning directly with his hard power!

But the identity of "newcomer" has become Lin Xiangbei's current double-edged sword. Any achievement with this title can gain higher attention and influence. For example, in the previous ROC National Cup, Dong Hebin won the title of the Chinese Car King Championship in history and became the de facto Chinese Car King.

Even Han Han performed very well in the competition, which can be called "super level", but did not leave a big response at that time. Many people even didn't know who the Chinese car king of the ROC National Cup was.

The reason is that there are no surprises or surprises. Dong Hebin became the strongest driver in China. Han Han won the double championship that year. In addition to this premise and surprise, his super-level performance is also within the normal range.

But Lin Xiangbei is different. His title of Chinese car king in ROC has even caused a little fluctuation in the world car world. After all, he defeated F1 world runner-up Vettel and lost to active world champion Patton at a slight disadvantage.

A well-known driver can do this, probably won't have such a big response. The identity of the rally newcomer alone is enough to attract attention. Even if he participated in the Asian Rally this time, Lin Xiangbei's popularity even surpassed Han Han, the organizer, commentator and other drivers, all knew Lin Xiangbei's name and the title of ROC Chinese car king.

This is the influence brought by the "newcomer" identity, otherwise he is likely to become a number-making driver who is not worthy of his life!

However, the problem now is that the identity of a "newcomer" has affected the team's judgment of Lin Xiangbei. Even if he has shown his strength, it is difficult for the older generation of conservative traditional Chinese drivers, such as the older generation, to make more radical team instructions.

Lin Xiangbei didn't want to challenge the old alcoholic as a competition engineer just now at the beginning of the professional competition. This is definitely not a good phenomenon for the operation of a team.

Moreover, he could not emphasize that he was actually not a "newcomer". I have begun to "awaken" my own power and can defeat my opponent with faster speed and time!

Hearing that Lin Xiangbei still wanted to give up his steady tactics and use speed to win, the old drunkard's expression on his face was a little hesitant.

To be honest, Lin Xiangbei’s performance so far can be described as perfect.

He used to have an absolute advantage in China, and it can be said that his opponent was too weak. Now he has already run into the top rally events in Asia. Lin Xiangbei can still perform like this, which is completely beyond the best estimate and judgment before the game.

Even the old drunkard himself admitted that even if he was in Lin Xiangbei's current position at the peak of his career, he would not be able to do better than him!

The Yangtze River pushes the old waves, which is something that Chinese people know, but now the old waves are a bit too fierce, beyond the professional perception of the old waves!

"Uncle Xu, I think it's possible to run to the North Pole? The strength he has may be beyond everyone's expectations."

Feng Bingman said at this time that she must be inferior to the old alcoholic about her professional knowledge, but she absolutely has nothing to say about Lin Xiangbei's recognition of the skills, otherwise she would not have thought of pulling him to form a team in Qixingshan.

"And even if you don't run well in the end or have no results, it's actually nothing to lose as a newcomer. This is a very normal thing."

If the previous sentence made the old drunkard hesitate, Feng Bingman's next sentence instantly awakened Xu Lang.

Yes, I was hesitating about what I wanted Lin Xiangbei to achieve good results, but I also didn't trust his absolute strength as a newcomer.

Then just treat him as a real newcomer. Even if you lose out of the track, isn’t it normal for Chinese newcomers to lose?

On the contrary, Lin Xiangbei is now running to the front row, which is an abnormal situation!

Losing is not scary, because it is terrible to suppress a driver's nature by one's own philosophy of seeking stability.

Lin Xiangbei only chose to choose Loeb very much, which does not mean that all his racing styles must become Loeb.

A scholar will die if he is a scholar. There will never be a second person. He should understand this truth very well!

"Look north and run as fast as you can. Even if you rush out of the track, it doesn't matter. Run as fast as you can!"

The old drunkard finally made up his mind that it was no longer his era, and his thinking must change as well.
Chapter completed!
