The five indicator lights on the track began to light up one by one, and the roar of the engines of the five Indy racing cars was obviously much louder than before.

Unlike the F1 race where the starting method is adopted in two rows, one in front and one behind, Indy Racing adopts three rows of departure.

In other words, like running, the three racing cars are placed parallel to the starting space in the first row, and the advantage of pole position is not obvious.

This starting method will undoubtedly lead to more intense competition in the starting line, especially when grabbing the line on the first corner, there is no need for competition from behind the racing car. The three drivers in the front row can fight together by themselves.

Moreover, the intensive starting method of Indy Racing, coupled with too many participating vehicles, can easily lead to car accidents, or even a series of collisions of more than a dozen racing cars.

For example, in the 2011 Indy Racing Las Vegas Station, there was a serious accident in which 15 racing cars collided, resulting in the death of British driver Wilton, who won the Indy title twice.

But precisely because of this fierce fighting and confrontation, the Indian local formula is still popular among many American car fans when its technology and technological content are lagging behind F1.

Because in their opinion, the wildness and roughness of the local formulas are the true meaning of racing, the real speed and passion.

Just like American football, it is also sought after by Americans because of its fierce confrontation and sense of power. Nlf is even the largest event league in the United States. And the "Super Bowl" in the finals is also known as the American Spring Festival Gala.

If the "Super Bowl" is the American Spring Festival Gala, then the "High Speed ​​Bowl" that prints local formulas can be regarded as the American Lantern Festival Gala, and can also reach an astonishing scale of hundreds of thousands of people.

It’s just that Indy Racing is a combination of F1 and Le Mans endurance. It takes several hours to run 500 miles in two hundred laps. So there is no long singing and dancing session, and it is far less famous in the world than the "Super Bowl".

The moment the indicator light went out, just like F1, Indy racing also had a warm bead. Schumacher became the first car on the left, Zhang Yifei lined up behind him, and Helio followed Zhang Yifei, and a group of five racing cars began to warm the tires.

"Laoda, do you think Chinese kids can still create miracles in the Indy race?"

Jaguars Racing Manager Steiner asked Nicky Lauda beside him.

During this time, many team management and strategy teams did not fly to Japan, but stayed in Indiana, USA.

Because this battle between F1 and Indy is called the battle of the century in Formula racing. If it weren't for all kinds of chances, it might be difficult to see once in a lifetime.

Whether it is to satisfy one's inner curiosity or to watch the strength of F1 drivers and Indy drivers, basically all teams have sent people to stay at the Indianapolis track to witness this historical moment.

Steiner understands that Lauda is optimistic about the potential of the Chinese boy in the F1 paddock, so he is very curious. Is Lauda still sure of the strength of the Chinese boy for different types of Indy racing?

"I don't know, but I can give an answer, that is, Fei will definitely not be at the bottom!"

Lauda's answer doesn't seem to be optimistic about Zhang Yifei, but in fact, when you think about it seriously, it has already put Zhang Yifei at a very high position.

Because as long as you don’t rank at the bottom, it means that Zhang Yifei can defeat at least one Indy World Champion. As an 18-year-old F1 newcomer, he first came into contact with Indy racing and ran the 500-mile elliptical track according to the rules of the Indian local rules.

No matter which one is almost impossible for a newcomer to complete. And Zhang Yifei can still defeat the Indy World Championship, and it is terrifying to think about it!

"Can he really beat the Indy World Championship?"

Now even Steiner doesn't believe it very much. It's okay to be optimistic about the new Chinese, but there is no need to be so blindly admired. Just as Zhang Yifei wins with this strength comparison, even Schumacher can't guarantee that he can win.

Hearing Steiner's doubts, Lauda did not explain to him, because in his mind, there was no idea why Zhang Yifei was running lap in the New North Raceway.

Maybe this Chinese boy is born to like to go unnatural, and this personality has also led to him being able to adapt to different types of racing faster than others.

There was no unexpected scene in the Indy Heating bead, and Helio followed Zhang Yifei honestly. This is not to say that Helio is forgiving and low-key, but because the entire schedule of Indy Racing is equivalent to three times that of F1 Racing. Any action that makes no sense to consume one's own physical strength is a mentally retarded behavior.

Helio’s arrogant and arrogant do not mean that he is stupid, otherwise he would not be able to win the Indy annual championship title. The warm bead is far from being the beginning, and the real good show is still to come.

When the beads warmed up, five racing cars parked on their own parking spaces, and the roar of the engine began to roar wildly. The moment the indicator light went out, the five racing cars rushed over like arrows off the strings.

Zhang Yifei's starting movements and reactions were as excellent as ever, and he was not even slower than Schumacher next to him.

When the accelerator was stepped to the bottom, the engine speed began to rise wildly, and then shifted gears and accelerated. After the whole set of movements, it could be described as fast as lightning. It was impossible to tell at all that Zhang Yifei was a novice who drove an Indy car for the first time!

Even Schumacher next to him was shocked from the corner of his eyes when he saw Zhang Yifei not falling behind at all.

Isn't it scientific? The first time a Chinese boy came into contact with Indy racing, he actually started at a speed that was not inferior to himself?

Although Schumacher was driving an Indy racing for the first time, he never thought that Zhang Yifei could be at the same level as himself.

No wonder I was able to complete the "three-level jump" miracle, jumped over advanced equations such as f3 and f3000, and directly entered the f1 paddock to gain a foothold. Sure enough, this Chinese kid is amazing in driving talent!

Compared to Schumacher's inner shock, Zhang Yifei was more excited!

That’s right, it’s just excitement. He can finally get the same speed as Schumacher without stopping the car and wake. The so-called no comparison, there is no harm. It turns out that the feeling of not having to drive a tractor is so good!

Finally one day, I can stand on the same starting line with Schumacher!

Compared with the faster the F1 racing car, the greater the air downforce, which will press the car tightly on the road. The speed of the Indy racing car is increased, and the friction caused by the air downforce is not obvious, which means that the rear end of the racing car is also very fast.

So before, the US Grand Prix could only accelerate to 250km/h, but now the Indy Racing has accelerated to 300km/h, and the speed is still rising rapidly.

However, this is not a straight-line acceleration race. Soon, in front of Zhang Yifei, the towering cement protective wall of No. 1 Death Bend appeared. Moreover, the Indy 500 race adopts a counterclockwise track, which means that all corners of the elliptical track turn left, and Schumacher on the left will have a greater advantage in the corner.

Without qualifying competition, it would lead to the start of the front row and it would be impossible to achieve an absolute company. As the current F1 No. 1 player, Schumacher is naturally much higher in importance and status than Zhang Yifei, so the FIA ​​arranged him on the left with a more advantageous advantage to ensure that he can be in the leading position.

In the Indy 500 event, the lead on the first corner actually has a great advantage. Because it does not have so many complex corner layouts, and the racing performance is also very close. Whoever can take the lead may be the leader next.

Compared to the later, he still needs to overtake the attack. At this moment, he is standing side by side with Schumacher, so Zhang Yifei naturally wants to surpass him in one go and seize the position of the head car.

So he started to line left, close to Schumacher at a very close distance, and prepared to grab the line for the first curve.

Schumacher naturally knew Zhang Yifei's actions very well. The expression on his face was very serious and indifferent, and he no longer had the kind of laughter and laughter before the game.

The US Grand Prix surpassed me in turn 1, and the Indy 500 event, do you also want to surpass me in turn 1?

Fei, you are too unwilling to take me Schumacher seriously!

In the Formula racing field, teammates are the opponents. In any case, Schumacher must defend his dignity of the king. He will never experience it twice in one failure!

Both cars accelerated and rushed forward frantically, and even saw that they were getting closer and closer to the cement protective wall, there was no slowing down.

This kind of life-threatening competition method made the IndyCar fans on the scene stunned. Isn’t this a battle between Indian local formulas and Formula One? Why are Schumacher and Zhang Yifei just like the revenge of killing their father, and they started to brake at the extreme late as they entered the corner?

Feeling Schumacher's crazy speeding up beside him, Zhang Yifei's mouth showed a smile instead. It was Schumacher. Sure enough, in front of victory, there were no "teammates" and only opponents!

When the two race cars reached the limit of the brake point, Zhang Yifei and Schumacher finally stepped on the brakes at the same time, and then turned around in a manner of competing with each other for a line. Even the two race cars were visually about to collide together.

In the end, Schumacher relied on the inside advantage to lead Zhang Yifei next to him little by little and passed Turn 1 of the Indy Track first.

But this was just the beginning. Zhang Yifei was not thrown behind. After leaving the corner, his front nose still exceeded Schumacher's rear wheel, and the acceleration movements of the two cars remained consistent in height.

However, the three Indy champions in the latter part, seeing Zhang Yifei and Schumacher's competition, the expression on their faces can be described as extremely ugly.

This is not a simple cornering, from the details of control, brake points, tangents, etc., it represents the two F1 drivers’ understanding of the control of Indy cars and the track track.

If there is any mistake, they will never be able to achieve such extreme double-car turn.
