273 Clutchless shifting

Similarly, Yamamoto Ukyo looked at the change in lap speed on the real screen, and his expression on his face was extremely shocked.

To put it no exaggeration, if the manual clutch shifts, the speed of a single lap is slower by 0.0 seconds, which is simply a starting number. If the hands and feet are slower, the difference will be just a few seconds.

After all, if you run a primary formula, the number of shifts may be nearly a thousand times. If you change to the F1 event, the average number of shifts per event is as high as 2,500 times. For special tracks like Morocco Station, 3,500 times are possible.

So every time, even if it is only one thousandth of a second slower, one thousand times will be a gap of one second.

Zhang Yifei's current lap speed is not as good as the slowest lap, compared to when there was no fault, so I know how amazing Zhang Yifei's shifting speed is.

Of course, most shifts here still work by relying on the sequential gearbox itself. But Zhang Yifei also took over one-fifth of the shift times by relying on the clutch shift, which was really enough to reach the limit.

After hearing Red say that Zhang Yifei is getting slower and slower, most of the supporters' audiences didn't say anything, but just looked at Zhang Yifei's No. 13 racing car nervously, hoping that he can restore his previous two stops.

And those "oppositions" who were suppressed by Zhang Yifei's strength finally found an opportunity to vent their hostility.

"The Chinese boy is not good anymore, this is his real strength!"

"By luck, I really think I am the strongest Renault driver? Now I'll show my true colors."

"Prost is such an old and stubborn person. I don't know how much sponsorship he received from the Chinese to allow him to enter the F1 team. It's really a shame for the French car world!"

"So what if you become an F1 driver? Wait for being eliminated!"

The clamor in the audience became louder and louder, and some people even began to whistle and boo to express their mockery towards Zhang Yifei.

You should know that while Zhang Yifei's fans have skyrocketed, the absolute number of people opposing him has not decreased.

After all, Zhang Yifei competed in the European track as a Chinese driver, and his tough image in the past deeply trampled on some people's inexplicable sense of superiority.

However, what is important in competitive competitions is the results. Zhang Yifei used his outstanding performance in the previous few stops and his dominant strength, which made those who question him shut up.

Today, a breakthrough and opportunity finally appeared. These people who were unhappy Zhang Yifei had been waiting for a long time, so they naturally could not let them go.

Faced with these ridicule, Zhang Yifei's supporters began to unable to sit still and launched a counterattack.

"Fei is the strongest Renault driver. If you want to deny this title, let other drivers surpass Fei's points first!"

"If you have the ability to show your good luck for two consecutive hat tricks, do you have the ability to show me good luck?"

"Zhang Yifei created a record of entering f1, and he can also create a miracle of f1!"

"Zhang Yifei, come on and let them know that you are the strongest driver!"

"Don't let me down, rider fly."

The voices of supporters have been heard one after another, making the debate in the audience more intense and making the already very anxious qualifying matches more tense and intense.

The drivers on the track couldn't hear these, but Ah Hu and the others who did not wear headphones at the repair station could hear some whistles and boos outside.

There are not many people who can detonate the audience in the Renault event. Before that, there were Masa, Kubica, etc., but now only Zhang Yifei can do this.

There is no doubt that the only one targeting these whistles and boos is Zhang Yifei.

So when he heard these voices, Ah Hu felt even more uncomfortable. Racing maintenance was his job, but he did not do it well, which led to Fei Ge being ridiculed by these people.

Looking at Ah Hu's uncomfortable look, He Ziling stood beside him and comforted: "Ah Hu, don't be dejected. Even Cosell, who was so strict just now, thought Yifei could do it. Don't you believe him?"

"I believe Brother Fei, but this..."

As a maintenance technician, how could Ah Hu not know the difficulty of stepping on the clutch and shifting gears? It is precisely because he knows it very well that he feels hope is slim.

"No, Yifei can do it."

He Ziling replied firmly, to be honest, she didn't know where her confidence came from.

Faced with such a firmness, Ah Hu no longer hesitated and nodded heavily.

At the same time, Zhang Yifei's voice came from the fleet's call system.

"Cosell, what's my current lap speed?"

"1 minute 43 seconds 396."

"It's faster or slower than before?"

"It's nearly 0.2 seconds slower, and the track record is 0.4 seconds slower."

When he heard this number, Zhang Yifei frowned. He had done his best to perform clutch shifts to ensure the speed of the car, and the synchronizer would not be further lost.

But the problem is that manual gear shifting still has its limits, and Zhang Yifei is not facing an ordinary automatic gearbox, which is the serial gearbox that claims to be the highest gear shifting efficiency.

At present, the upgraded version of the gearbox on F1 is the only upgraded gearbox on the F1. Otherwise, if it is an ordinary 4-speed or 6-speed automatic transmission, its efficiency is not as good as Zhang Yifei's manual.

At this lap, Zhang Yifei guessed that he was about the fifth place, because the lap of the qualifying race was generally faster than that of the main race, and even the F1 race was no exception.

Because there is not such a lot of pressure in the qualifying competition, and the competition is relatively gentle, which is conducive to performance. More importantly, the qualifying competition can replace faster tires and less oil to reduce the weight of the car.

After all, it is only possible to look at the fastest lap speed, even if the lap speed is as slow as a turtle, it is acceptable.

But now the problem is that Zhang Yifei felt that other drivers were like being injected with chicken blood, and he was crazy about increasing his speed to get a better ranking.

Zhang Yifei didn't know if this had anything to do with him. However, whether it was related or not, this was not good news for Zhang Yifei, and it means that his ranking may continue to decline.

As long as you drop to the tenth place, the starting parking space will be at the turn of the track and you will not be able to see the starting signal light as soon as possible. This will have a great impact on the starting speed, which will be enough to allow the first echelon to distance the drivers behind you.

Moreover, Zhang Yifei also knew that if he fell behind, it would be more difficult than others to surpass and catch up.

The scene of "surrounding and blocking" at Manicur Raceway is still vivid in my mind, and it is difficult to ensure that similar things will not happen to Yinshi Station. Moreover, the special buffer zone of Yinshiway, overtaking with the help of the road shoulder is a very risky thing, and it will increase the difficulty of overtaking again.

"Cosell, how long will it take to end the qualifying match?"

"8 minutes and 16 seconds."

Hearing this number, Zhang Yifei calculated it in his mind, and there was probably a schedule for the last five or six laps left, so there was not much time left for him.

If you still follow the previous method and use the clutch to shift gears, Zhang Yifei will definitely not be able to break through the lap speed of 1 minute, 43 seconds, 396, and it will be difficult to maintain it.

Because just like the wear and tear of the machinery, people are also tired. Zhang Yifei has operated nearly hundreds of times in a row, such as fast stepping and quick-release shifting.

Not to mention that it is so exaggerated to step on the foot cramps, it is almost impossible to speed faster than before. So Zhang Yifei can no longer follow this method, he must want another way.

"Cosell, in your experience, the gearbox has already had gear shifting stuttering. What is the maximum speed difference range while avoiding further deterioration."

"From the current transmission loss situation, the maximum acceptable speed difference is within two thousand rpm, and the safety value is within one thousand rpm."

"What, are you planning to shift without clutch?"

Kossel directly guessed Zhang Yifei's idea because there are not many choices at present, and since Zhang Yifei asked this, there is only one answer left, that is, shifting gears without clutches.

The so-called clutch-free shifting, as the name suggests, means no need to step on the clutch shifting. This first appeared on civilian manual gears. When people found that as long as the speed matches the height of the speed, even if they don’t step on the clutch, they can directly push the gear lever into the gear without tying the teeth to damage the gearbox.

In fact, the serial transmission is the principle of clutch-free shifting, but the gearbox gear ratio is densely set, which makes the gear shift much more tolerant. It is possible to easily shift gears with the good driving skills of professional drivers.

However, now that the synchronizer is damaged, Zhang Yifei needs to switch gears completely according to the civilian manual transmission method and use very accurate speed matching.

The difference in difficulty here is that when civilian engines use clutch-free gear shifting, the speed is only about 20 million. If they really don’t cooperate well, the engine can push hard even if it hits the gears.

Unless you often play with teething like this, it will cause serious damage to the gearbox.

The race-level engines are all tens of thousands of engines. If the gear position and speed cannot be matched extremely accurately, there is no synchronizer for help at such a high speed. By relying on hard propulsion, the entire transmission gear can be directly broken into slag.

What Zhang Yifei plans to do now is to match the speed and wheel speed by himself, and move gears and push them hard at critical moments.

Before, when I manually stepped on the clutch, the worst result was slow. Now, when I play with clutch-free gear shifting, if I don’t operate well, the entire transmission will be scrapped directly, and then I will be "paralyzed" on the track due to a fault.

However, Zhang Yifei had nothing to hesitate. Anyway, as long as he completed 75% of the total schedule, he would count the lap of the qualifying race with withdrawal.

More importantly, this gearbox must be replaced after the race. Even if it is scrapped, Zhang Yifei will not feel so painful, so he plans to challenge it.

"Yes, it's just a clutch-free shift. Kossel, it's time to show my true strength!"

After Zhang Yifei said this, he released the buttons of the call system and focused all his attention on the game.
