274 Shocking the audience (Chapter 3)

With one kick down the accelerator, the speed of Renault racing increased again. Zhang Yifei not only had to pay attention to the track conditions, but also always had to pay attention to the engine speed to achieve a perfect match with the vehicle speed.

In order not to put too much pressure on the synchronizer, the speed difference must be kept within one thousand revolutions, and the maximum error range cannot exceed two thousand revolutions.

Don’t think that this is a big range. For a ten thousand-rpm engine, one thousand rpm is equivalent to the accuracy of a two hundred rpm range of ordinary civilian engines. Because most Chinese driving schools teach the habit of changing gears at about two thousand rpm, and some even start to upgrade gears at one thousand five hundred rpm in order to save fuel.

Many people have been driving for several years but have never experienced what it feels like to step into the red zone. And the higher the speed, the more difficult it is to stabilize. The difficulty of controlling four thousand rpm to three thousand five hundred rpm is much greater than controlling two thousand rpm to one thousand five hundred rpm.

And the goal Zhang Yifei wants to challenge this time is a thousand changes!

Replenishing oil, shifting gears, adjusting speed, and shifting gears, Zhang Yifei is like a precise machine, controlling the engine speed in an accurate range.

At this moment, the lap speed displayed on the ring screen inside the repair station finally stopped decreasing and rebounded slightly, but this was still quite different from Zhang Yifei's fastest lap speed in the test run.

"Teacher, Yifeijun's control of speed is really accurate. It seems that this has something to do with his participation in some underground events in China."

Yamamoto Ukyo also learned from Ah Hu and the others that Zhang Yifei also had the title of Seven Star Mountain Race God. He knew that when he was in Hong Kong and China, he had participated in some underground events, so he had such rich experience in manual transmission driving.

Otherwise, it will be difficult for ordinary Formula Elementary drivers to control their speed so accurately due to their age and contact range.

"No, underground riders can't do this control, this is the result of professional training."

Cosell could tell at a glance that Zhang Yifei was not a habit of underground drivers. You should know that although underground drivers also have rich experience in manual transmission, they need to be very sensitive to speed when shifting gears.

But the biggest flaw of underground drivers is that they do not have systematic planning and training, and many things are casual and unstable.

Don’t think that it’s all driving. The boring and boring training of professional players is far more than the hobbies of underground drivers.

All Zhang Yifei's accuracy that can be used to replace machinery with manual labor can only be achieved by professional drivers.

"It seems to have something to do with Fei's former coach Lu Ningping. I heard that he is the king of rally racing in China."

"Um."

Kossel didn't know who Lu Ningping was, but with Zhang Yifei's current age, being able to do this must have something to do with his profession. It seems that this is the case.

Zhang Yifei has already accelerated on the track, but the first lap has no exaggeration. After all, the birth of the sequential gearbox is to help drivers concentrate on the track, rather than distracting and controlling the gears.

Moreover, with a synchronizer, Zhang Yifei can change gears in the face of a huge speed difference. Even if it is a difference of four or five thousand rpm, the gearbox can be pushed forward strongly, which in a sense can save gear shifting time.

"1 minute 43 seconds 326"

"1 minute 43 seconds 175"

"1 minute 43 seconds 112"

Zhang Yifei was extremely difficult to improve his lap speed in the remaining laps. When the last lap ended, Zhang Yifei's fastest lap was frozen at 1 minute 42 seconds 998!

This is 1 minute, 42 seconds, 997 from the track record, which is really only one thousandth of a second!

"Yifeijun, he really tried his best."

Seeing this number, Yamamoto Ukyo breathed a sigh of relief. He had already made the worst plan to withdraw from the race, but he didn't expect that Zhang Yifei could still achieve a lap that was a record-breaking track record.

"This kid is doing well."

Kossel praised him with a rare word, but in fact, Zhang Yifei had already performed perfectly.

"Cosell, what's the final lap?"

Zhang Yifei has slowed down and started patrolling the field, preparing to wait for the event command center to announce the pole position before returning to the maintenance station.

Although Zhang Yifei was already clear in his heart that his lap speed should have little to do with his pole position, he still wanted to know how far he could achieve his limit.

"1 minute 42 seconds 998, very good."

"Wow, you're even saying it's good?"

Zhang Yifei asked in surprise, is this German old man Kossel complimenting himself?

However, when Zhang Yifei finished saying this, there was no Cosel's voice in the headset, and it was obvious that the old German man didn't want to pay attention to it.

At this moment, the commentator Red got the data transmitted from the event command center, which had a lap speed ranking.

"Dear ladies and gentlemen, there was a major shift in today's qualifying race. The Chinese driver who had created hat tricks in succession before did not get a pole position this time, and even failed to enter the top three."

"The player who won the pole position in the Silverstone qualifying competition was Dixon, who played the championship and Asian duel with Fei in the last stop. He won the fastest lap of the Silverstone Circuit with a time of 1 minute 42 seconds 772!"

1 minute 42 seconds 772, the track record is about 0.2 seconds faster, but it is not as good as Zhang Yifei's previous test run leading track record of 0.3 seconds.

However, this is a qualifying race. Being able to achieve this result in competition and interference undoubtedly represents Dixon's strength, and he is also a super driver who won consecutive championships in the Indy race later.

At this time, Dixon raised his arms and roared excitedly.

After his last stop, he had already planned to withdraw from the Formula European event and return to the Indy Series in the United States. As a result, Williams' post-match announcement gave him a fatal blow to his self-esteem, which made him break and then stand up, and wanted to prove himself crazy.

Now the pole position he has won surpassed Zhang Yifei, and he can finally express the shame of the loser in his heart and the aggrieved of being despised, so he is so excited that he can even see his eyes red.

In addition to Dixon, Makina also won second place, Kubica won third place, and Suarez won fourth place in qualifying, and all lap times surpassed the track record.

The reason for this kind of scene has to be said to be that Zhang Yifei gave them great confidence.

It’s like you raced with Bolt. You didn’t have much hope in your heart, and you didn’t have much fighting spirit to run at all.

As a result, I suddenly realized that I could run faster than Bolt. The motivation brought by this sense of surprise, coupled with these drivers themselves, is strong, and in the future, it will naturally explode at once.

This is why, when playing with a bad chess, you will become more and more stinky, and when playing a high-level showdown with a strong opponent, you will quickly improve yourself.

Of course, Zhang Yifei's dominance on the track is far less powerful than Bolt. It's just that the last stop brought despair to other drivers, and he felt like he was running with Bolt by himself.

"Chinese drivers ranked fifth with 1 minute, 42 seconds, 998, only 1 millisecond away from the track record. This speed is actually very good, but in the face of so many lap times that surpass the records today, it is not so dazzling."

Red's tone was filled with regret. If Zhang Yifei had not encountered a collective outbreak of other drivers, it would be possible to get the pole position in other stations.

Unexpectedly, there were so many records that surpassed the track today, which led to Zhang Yifei's lap speed being ranked fifth.

This is a good result, but not the best result.

The audience on the track heard that Zhang Yifei was only ranked fifth, and many fans had obvious expressions of loss on their faces.

Because in their hearts, Zhang Yifei is the strongest player in Renault Track. He got the F1 driver contract and was far ahead of his competitors.

So it was OK for Zhang Yifei to get the pole position or even win the final championship again. Unexpectedly, Zhang Yifei only got fifth place.

Of course, many rational car fans can understand it very well. This is a very normal thing. Even Senna and Schumacher cannot have a hat trick every stop. Qualifying fifth place is already a very good result, and still has a strong chance of winning the championship.

However, this kind of achievement finally made Zhang Yifei's opponents on the scene completely excited.

"Aren't Chinese boys very arrogant and want to win the championship? Why can't they even get the connecting rod position?"

"F1 drivers will get fifth in the qualifying competition, is this worthy of entering f1?"

"Chinese guy, start to taste failure, and you won't even feel failure in the future."

"With Fei's strength, entering the Prost team is also the fate of being cut."

At this time, Zhang Yifei had already opened his helmet and entered the exit passage close to the audience, so he could vaguely hear these ridicule.

However, Zhang Yifei was not angry, but instead found it a bit funny.

Have black fans asked so much these days? They think it's a hot guy in the fifth place in the qualifying round. Do they assume that they are pole positions?

This is not equivalent to admitting one's own strength. Sure enough, geniuses are jealous after all...

Just as Dickson was about to celebrate the pole position and Zhang Yifei was about to return to the repair station, the commentator Red played a message again in a surprised tone.

"Ohmygod, I just got a team conversation from the racing command center, about Fei and his racing engineer."

"It turned out that the flying Renault car had a synchronizer failure on the fifth lap, but he did not choose to withdraw. Instead, he relied on manual clutch shifts and the ultimate perfect clutch-free shift, running a lap of 1 minute, 42 seconds, 998, and won the fifth place in the qualifying race."

"I can't believe that a Renault driver can challenge the speed of the machinery by relying on manual control, but the driver Fei undoubtedly did it, and his lap speed in the last few laps was improved."

"I even doubt now that if the race continues, will Zhang Yifei's lap speed still improve, and can he eventually create a miraculous lap speed?"

When Red said this, the audience was stunned. Most of the people who could come to watch the primary formula were veteran car fans, otherwise they would also watch the F1 competition in order to follow the trend.

So they all know what the failure of the racing gearbox means for the drivers. Could it be that Zhang Yifei actually ran a lap that was recorded on the track in the face of such a failure?
