201 Kossel Directive
When Masa saw Zhang Yifei's move to change lanes, his face suddenly became gloomy. Did this Chinese boy not take him seriously?
The normal operation of the Hoganheim track is to sprint the entire throttle. When the racing power is exactly the same, any lane change is meaningless, and even the act of lowering your car's speed.
Zhang Yifei's move was undoubtedly a declaration of war on himself. Massa was not an arrogant driver, but at this time he was full of anger.
Zhang Yifei in front felt the violent roar of the engine behind him. Even if he couldn't see Masa's expression at the moment, he knew that the other party must be very angry.
That's right, he declared war on Masa. If there is no opponent on the track who is fighting for his own life, wouldn't it be very lonely?
Only by challenging the strong can you become stronger. Zhang Yifei really wants to know how strong the Formula stage of Masa, who explodes with all his strength, is this future F1 driver!
Second gear, third gear,... sixth gear! The gears are constantly rising, and the same is true for the car speed.
All drivers were in this section of 15 full throttle and pulled their speed to 260km/h.
If he does not have the awareness and courage to step on the accelerator pedal into the engine at this time, then he is not suitable to become a Formula driver, and he will not appear in today's main race!
Compared to the battle between Zhang Yifei and Masa without smoke, the driver behind him was bayonet.
After all, the intensiveness of twenty racing cars is much more intense, especially the right-side route of the track, which is the focus of competition.
Because the first turn of the Hoganheim Track is the left turn, and the order of turning tangents is right-left-right. Being able to seize the right route is equivalent to seizing the fastest turn route.
In fact, Zhang Yifei stepped on the accelerator and blocked Masa on the right, and he also had the idea of seizing the fastest turn on the right. However, his timing of taking action was too early, making the meaning of provocation more and more obvious.
It takes fifteen seconds to say it is fast or slow, but for the track, fifteen seconds is just a moment.
Soon Zhang Yifei arrived in front of No. 1's left turn, which was a high-speed turn at a high angle. During the previous test run, Zhang Yifei used an empty accelerator and a four-speed 180km/h corner.
But this time, Zhang Yifei delayed his brake point, and in the past ten days, he had watched countless driver videos and track data, and learned a more extreme turnover route, which could tangent at a speed of 200km/h.
Don’t underestimate the speed difference of 20km/h. Maybe the opponent has just grabbed the line from the corner to the front of you by catching the line.
Just as Zhang Yifei expected, Massa also chose the delay throttle and planned to surpass Zhang Yifei on this corner.
However, he soon discovered that Zhang Yifei's speed did not slow down as much as other drivers, and the detour route was exactly the same as the best route he had developed.
It can be said that Zhang Yifei passed by this curve, and even if he asked the F1 driver to come over to drive a Renault car, he would probably not be able to surpass the car!
How is that possible?
Now it was Masa's turn to be shocked. You should know that the time point of this bend route and the throttle slack is his own team strategy group. During this period, he helped him simulate it bit by bit through computers, which is the best bend route in theory.
Zhang Yifei is just an individual paid driver. Toyota only provides technical support. Just like Renault paid technical support, can he pass the corner so perfectly and achieve the effect of the team behind it?
Masa does not underestimate Zhang Yifei's strength, but he will not look down on Zhang Yifei, nor will he think that Zhang Yifei is so powerful!
In fact, it is normal for Masa to not understand. In the eyes of the outside world, Zhang Yifei is just a new driver, or comes from a weak racing country like China. There is no strong European team behind it, and many data and track experience are shortcomings.
But they didn't know that behind Zhang Yifei was a giant, who had data on McLaren, the top F1 team.
This is to blame Kossel for not being as famous as Newey. Moreover, he has been away from McLaren for almost ten years. Many people don’t know that this old German man has such awesome background.
Another important reason is that Zhang Yifei is willing to endure hardships. He kept all the data on the Hoganheim track in his mind. His experience is actually not inferior to these European drivers!
Zhang Yifei and Masa made a turn one after another, and Kubica and Dickson behind them were also chasing each other.
Especially Dixon, his detour route was perfect, just like Zhang Yifei, and he almost overcame Kubica on the curve.
If Kubica hadn't had rich experience and changed lines at critical moments to block the road, which forced Dixon to give up the idea of overtaking, the rankings might have changed directly now.
The drivers in the top ranked successfully passed by, and the drivers behind who were less powerful did not have such accurate control ability in the face of fierce competition on the first corner.
Many drivers face this kind of high risk of collisions. All detours turn into clouds, and it would be good to drive over them. But even so, there were still two players who rushed out of the track on the first corner, leaving only eighteen drivers on the field.
According to this efficiency, it seems that the completion rate of this game may be lower before the game.
After turning the corner, the oil was replenished and the gears were upgraded. Zhang Yifei and Masa rushed into the boulevard. Due to the warm beads, the boulevard has obviously accumulated more water.
But neither Zhang Yifei nor Masa took the accumulated water seriously, and still stepped on the accelerator frantically and ran to his fastest speed.
Just like the choice of tires before the race, ambitious Formula drivers never put safety first, and victory and the desire for championships are their only pursuits to go on the track.
Zhang Yifei is the same. He would rather be crushed to pieces than slow down!
The violent engine sound formed an amplification effect close to the tunnel in the tree-lined avenue. The leaves were trembling by the sound waves, and water droplets began to fall one after another.
If the warm bead was light rain before, it would be equivalent to moderate rain now. A thin layer of water film even appeared on the ground, and the high-speed racing car rushed past, rolling up pieces of water mist.
Especially when passing through some "pits" with accumulated water, Zhang Yifei began to clearly feel the grip of a certain tire dropping instantly, and the entire vehicle trembled instantly.
But Zhang Yifei controlled the steering wheel tightly, otherwise Renault racing would show signs of slipping. Once it slipped at this time, even if it did not lose control in the end, Masa behind it would catch up.
Zhang Yifei has never underestimated Masa. Just like the old saying in China, you can despise the enemy strategically, but you must pay attention to your opponent tactical attention.
Next were two more bends. Zhang Yifei and Masa were still passing the corner at high speed, and they were chasing and biting very tightly during the process. Perhaps it was Zhang Yifei's speed and strength that stimulated Masa's potential. He was faster than before in the rank-up race!
"After entering the boulevard, the water accumulation on the ground began to gradually become worse, especially the vibration caused by air fluctuations and sound waves. The raindrops that had not yet evaporated on the leaves fell on the track, just like a light rain."
"Today, most players choose ordinary wetland tires. It is obvious that they do not want to give up their pursuit of speed and limits. But the problem is that the drainage ability of wetland tires is insufficient in the face of such a track environment. This time, Madu's accident has occurred at the Hoganheim race station. I hope I won't see a second tragedy happening."
Unlike Masa's minor injuries, the series of car crashes in Maduro ranked in the ranking is much more serious.
The left shoulder was broken and four ribs were broken. The most serious thing was that the cervical spine was misaligned by high-speed impact.
If the operation goes well, Madu can become a driver in the future. If the cervical spine is misaligned and the spinal nerve is damaged, he may have to sit in a wheelchair for the rest of his life.
Racing has always been a high-risk sport, and standing on the track is destined to face these dangers.
Red's concerns are simply not worth mentioning for the current drivers on the track, and no one will slow down.
After all, the competition has just begun now, and there is no such situation as irresistible to catch up to the end stage. There is only one champion, and everyone wants to stand in that position.
This is even more true for Zhang Yifei and Masa. It can be said that as long as there is a chance, both of them will accelerate with full throttle.
All the risks of racing skidding and losing control are no longer within the scope of these two people's considerations. Beating against the opponent is their first goal.
At the end of the boulevard is the famous Saches hairpin bend. This hairpin bend has a very small angle and even a 180-degree turnback bend. It is one of the most challenging locations on the entire Hoganheim track.
Especially in this kind of road area and water, the highway speed is over 180 degrees back and turning. The routine brought by racing speed is a challenge to tire grip and an excellent overtaking location.
"Teacher, Saches's hairpin bend is coming. I wonder if Yifeijun can defend it."
"Whether he can hold on depends on whether he is faster than his opponent."
Cosel replied coldly, then pressed the red call button on the headset.
"Fly, there is the Saches hairpin bend in front, and Masa chases the back tightly. There is a high probability that he will enter the bend inside to grab the line."
"Reduce the brake force, keep the cornering speed in 1 gear at 80km/h, and ride on the left shoulder to expand the curved arc angle."
"Let Masa understand that your tangent is more ruthless than him and faster than him, don't give him any hope to defeat you!"
This is the first time that Kossel has passed instructions on the track, and this instruction can be described as "brutal".
You should know that under normal circumstances, the ultimate speed of the Saches hairpin bending is about 70km/h at 1st gear.
