144 Crush Superior
Whether Hank believes it or not, Zhang Yifei's strength is already in front of him, and in the face of this absolute strength gap, any prepared conspiracy and trickery becomes meaningless, and he is thrown farther and farther away.
At the same time, Zhang Yifei does not need to hide any strength on the track this time, he can completely let himself go, and the handy familiarity brought by two months of high-intensity practice allows him to enjoy the high-speed cornering and feel the passion and pleasure brought by that speed.
By lap eight, he was lap last in the race, and what should have been a race turned into a chase in disguise, and he began to frantically overtake the riders behind him.
Even at this time, the riders at the back understood that there was no hope for a place, forgot the fact of the ring, and adopted a defensive posture to block Zhang Yifei's overtaking route.
Half an hour is not a short time, but it is not a long time for a formula racing event, which is less than half the time of the official race.
With the black-and-white flags waving to announce the end of the race, all that remains is to wait for the data station to release each driver's fastest lap time to determine the winner.
In fact, the winner is already obvious, Zhang Yifei is far ahead of everyone, but now the question is whether he is three seconds ahead of Hank, which is the question in everyone's mind.
After all, the number of three seconds is too exaggerated, even if it is an absolute advantage, no one dares to say that an Australian Karting Championship runner-up is three seconds.
"Console, is the lap data out, how much is the fastest lap in the first place."
"The fastest lap was on lap 14 with a time of 1:25.16."
This lap time spread to the headsets of the staff and drivers present with the walkie-talkie, and everyone looked at Zhang Yifei with wide eyes, completely unable to believe that this speed was run by a Chinese kart driver.
Even Yamamoto Ukyo's most optimistic prediction was that Zhang Yifei could run 26 seconds in three months, and he can already be said to be an Asian genius-level driver who is qualified to fight in Formula Europe.
But when this result appeared, it had already surpassed the previous best prediction, Zhang Yifei broke through the limit of 1 minute and 26 seconds, and entered the field of 1 minute and 25 seconds, less than a second away from the track record set by the F3 champion!
"What is Hank's fastest lap?"
Junko Takeda hastened to ask, which is also her current concern, which will determine who is the driver of Toyota's sponsorship of Formula Renault in Europe.
"Hank was second with the fastest lap of 1:28.62."
1:28.62, objectively speaking, this result is already a good result for a kart driver.
But with Zhuyu in front, Zhang Yifei's lap time of 1:25.16 was too shocking, and the result of 1:28 was completely overshadowed by Zhang Yifei's brilliance.
Hearing this result, Junko Takeda subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, she didn't know when she started, and she was also nervous about Zhang Yifei's place.
Maybe the world values the person who works hard, Zhang Yifei used his persistence and sweat to conquer the staff of the Toyota team.
In fact, it's not that other drivers are not talented, Hank's talent is not low, but the vast majority of people's hard work is low, and it is far from the time to fight for talent.
When other people's talent is not weaker than you, or even stronger than you, and the result is far beyond you, how can you compare at this time?
When the results were announced, everyone who learned the news had shocks on their faces, and they looked at Zhang Yifei, because the event record of Japanese F3 champion Takuma Sato is the record that every academy driver here hopes to break, but there is no one who even comes close.
Today, this person who is extremely close to the record is finally born, he is a kart driver from China, you must know that this is the record of the all-Japan Formula 3 championship, and it is so close to a youth driver who has only been training for two months.
If he is allowed to train for another two months, will he be able to break the record set by Takuma Sato?
Everyone is thinking about this question in their minds, and the answer is also coming out, according to Zhang Yifei's growth rate, it is really possible to break the track record in two months.
"Impossible! It's definitely a problem with the lap time equipment, how can he, a Chinese kid who has never run a formula before, get close to the record, and be more than three seconds ahead of me, it's definitely a problem with the equipment! ”
Hank roared hoarsely at this time, and at this moment Zhang Yifei completely shattered the sense of superiority in his heart, and was said to let three seconds forget it, but he really succeeded.
The basis for all his supremacy is that he is white and is the runner-up in the Australian Karting Championship. And Zhang Yifei is just a Chinese, the kind of dirt bun that even formula racing may not have seen.
As a result, these things are not valid from today, and Zhang Yifei will also participate in the higher-level Renault Formula race, which has opened a qualitative gap with him since then and trampled him under his feet!
In the face of Hank's roar, Zhang Yifei's face only showed disdain, and he didn't even say a word of reasoning, and turned around and went to the bathroom directly.
Half an hour of full equipment simulation event is still a lot of physical consumption, at least Zhang Yifei's clothes are all wet. Now it was a foregone conclusion, he could finally relax and take a shower and rest without delay.
If Zhang Yifei has any regrets in his heart, it is that he did not break the record of Takuma Sato. In the past two months, like other academy drivers, he has set his goal to break Takuma Sato's record of 1 minute and 24 seconds, but unfortunately he is still a little short in the end.
On the other side, Junko Takeda could only speak comfortably: "Hank, the result of this event is absolutely fair, and there is no problem with the equipment, if you don't agree with the result, you can file a formal written appeal." ”
Hank didn't say anything when he heard the word, he just wanted to find an excuse to vent, and if the written complaint was tantamount to putting the things behind the simulation event on the surface.
It's not much of a problem to lose in second place, but if you lose in three seconds before the game, it's going to be a laughing stock.
And this kind of thing itself is a private negotiation, without going through the Toyota Racing Division, Zhang Yifei will not lose because of three seconds, but because he took the initiative to withdraw from the race.
So Hank naturally won't make any written requests, which is also Junko Takeda's way of retreating.
At this time, Hank glanced at Zhang Yifei's back hatefully, and then turned to leave, he felt all kinds of ridicule and contempt around him.
took a shower and changed into light clothes, not only physical relaxation, but also a psychological relaxation, in the last month, in fact, the pressure Zhang Yifei was under was no lighter than anyone else.
Winning the sponsorship of Formula Renault in Europe means that you can finally officially set foot in the formula racing field, and from then on you will enter a new stage of professional racing.
So today is the end of Zhang Yifei's career stage, and it is also the beginning of another broader sky!
