053 Acceleration and heavy pressure

The speed of the car is soaring, but the next change is not as easy as Zhang Yifei thought, because the huge G-value brought by every corner has begun to affect Zhang Yifei.

When the go-kart turns at nearly 100 km/h, because there is no suspension roll and seat wrapping to support, it almost relies on the body to fight against this G-number, which is about twice its body weight.

Physically, it's okay to say, but I feel a little pressured, and the most uncomfortable thing is Zhang Yifei's neck. Because I was driving a high-speed go-kart, I chose a heavy-duty helmet and didn't wear a neck guard. The simple helmet weighs two kilograms, so that under the influence of the G value of cornering, the weight of the helmet is equivalent to two to three times, and more than ten pounds of things have been hanging on the neck.

This is why the top riders have very strong physical fitness and well-developed neck muscles. In his previous life, Zhang Yifei experienced professional neck muscle training, but in this life, he was just a high school student with good health, and he began to struggle a little after more than a dozen laps.

However, as Lu Ningping said, top drivers have spirit in addition to their bodies, and Zhang Yifei belongs to the kind of people who can persevere. Even though he had felt the weight of the G-value, he still gritted his teeth to find the best cornering route, and refreshed his lap time over and over again with a few tenths of a second of improvement per lap.

Until the fiftieth lap, Zhang Yifei finally couldn't hold on, and at this time, it had been an hour since he got on the go-kart.

After running past the starting line of the last lap, Zhang Yifei began to slow down and parked the go-kart on the side of the road, and then laboriously took off his helmet. At this moment, Zhang Yifei is as if he has been washed with water, his hair is completely wet, and his huge physical exertion is no less than running a rally in his previous life.

Lu Ningping came over with a stopwatch at this time, and he was not surprised to see Zhang Yifei looking tired, because he had already reminded him that go-kart is not as simple as he imagined.

But Lu Ningping also had an accident, that is, Zhang Yifei adapted too quickly, even if he has his own driving skills as the foundation, this adaptation speed is extremely amazing. As far as he pinched the stopwatch just now, Zhang Yifei's fastest lap speed has reached more than 56 seconds, which is a full second faster than the current lap record of the venue!

You must know that the lap record is similar to the 100-meter race record, and every time it is refreshed, it is basically a few tenths of a second, or even a slight difference of a few tenths of a second. Think about what it is if you throw your opponent off for a second in a 100-meter race, it can make your opponent treat you as an alien, unless you are a professional runner and an ordinary person running There is such a gap.

But the problem now is that Zhang Yifei is an ordinary person in comparison, and the previous lap record holder is already a kart driver who has trained for several years. Even if the Wind Chasing Club is not a first-class karting club, even if the lap record holder is only a teenager, all kinds of objective reasons cannot hide the shock of Zhang Yifei breaking the record.

"Uncle Lu, how did I run, and what is the fastest lap?"

Zhang Yifei asked a little tiredly, in the highly concentrated racing state, he had no energy to predict his results at all.

"56.2 seconds, which is more than a second faster than the fastest lap in the club at the moment."

"Just over a second faster?"

Zhang Yifei replied a little dissatisfied, this time is converted, his average speed is less than 80km/h, this speed is still a little slower for him, Zhang Yifei's initial goal is to run into the 55-second mark.

If Zhang Yifei's memory of his last life is correct, he has seen the information of a Donghai International Karting Club, the scale seems to have reached the international B-level standard, and the best result should be within 45 seconds for the same length and corner, and the gap is a bit big.

Of course, running a long track in 45 seconds requires a high-power go-kart, and even the top superkart, with more than 100 horsepower, but Zhang Yifei is not very clear about these, he just remembers the fastest time.

"More than a second faster and not satisfied? It's your first time in go-karting, and it's a completely new track. You have to know that some of these students have been practicing for a few years, and as a result, the record has been broken so easily by you, how desperate should they be? ”

"The problem is, they're all kids."

"Aren't you a teenager anymore?"

"I ......"

Lu Ningping asked rhetorically, leaving Zhang Yifei speechless, he was really not much older than the older students in the club.

"Okay, there's a shower room at the back of the garage, you sweat and wash up first, that's all for today."

Zhang Yifei nodded after hearing this, it is true that he looks a little embarrassed with sweating profusely, and it is impossible to touch such a thing as racing, he is just touching go-karts today, and it will take a while for him to really get started.

Watching Zhang Yifei go to the shower room behind the garage, Lu Ningping looked at the lap time recorded on the stopwatch and fell into deep thought.

To be honest, Zhang Yifei said before that he wanted to participate in formula racing, Lu Ningping did not approve of it in his heart, even if Zhang Yifei had already shown amazing driving skills, but formula racing was far more difficult to get started than ordinary people imagined.

It's just that in that environment at that time, in the face of a teenager's dream, it was always difficult to pour cold water on him as an elder, so he agreed. Thinking that he will fly to Hong Kong Island in the future, let him feel the difference between go-karts and racing, and recognize these gaps with reality, maybe this kid will retreat by himself.

When the time comes, I will persuade myself, and then use some connections in the past to make Zhang Yifei's trial in the professional team more smooth, and then go in the direction of rallying. As for the dream of becoming a formula driver, it is just the unattainable dream of a teenager, who doesn't have a few unattainable dreams when they are young?

It's just that Zhang Yifei's performance today made Lu Ningping start to doubt his previous choice, the first time he touched the kart track, he broke his club's lap record, which is definitely a very amazing talent.

Unlike ordinary drivers, who pay attention to hard work to change their fate, the first thing for top formula drivers is talent, if there is no enough amazing talent, then sorry, no matter how hard you try, you may not be able to catch up with others, this is the cruel reality.

Take the students of Lu Ningping's own club as an example, there are currently 22 students here, how many of them can become F1 drivers in the future? The answer is none. Not to mention F1, there may not even be an F3 Formula driver, and if you take a step back, someone here can get a place in a junior formula car, which may already be considered the pinnacle of life.

Zhang Yifei has shown extraordinary racing talent, which is the most important foundation. 16 years old is indeed too old, and F1 drivers are also showing a trend of getting younger and younger, but this is not absolute, take Damon Hill, the driver who participated for the first time in '92, he was already 32 years old at the time, and he won the world championship in '96.

So can Zhang Yifei also create this miracle? Thinking of this, Lu Ningping suddenly laughed, because he felt that his thoughts were too crazy.
