Yakyo Yamamoto used to play for the Toyota Le Mans team, and although it is not the same type as Formula Racing, there are still many similarities between the two sides.

For the team's gearbox tuning, Yamamoto Ukyo naturally understands, otherwise when the gearbox was replaced before, Korcel would not have asked Yamamoto Ukyo to stay and help.

But the problem is, Zhang Yifei has to adapt to this change, but at least he has to be trained by the F1 team, how can he adapt to the official competition?

Of course, there is no choice to adapt on the track, after all, there is no way to predict the accident of gearbox failure in advance.

It's just that the mentor's indifferent posture makes Yamamoto Right Kyoto not know what to say, is it too high a requirement for Yifei-kun?

Zhang Yifei on the track, he didn't expect so much at the moment, and all his attention was on Kubica in front.

After experiencing intense driving, the feeling of "not following" of the car began to come to the fore. In many cases, when upshifting and downshifting, Zhang Yifei still subconsciously follows his past habits to make the power connection not so perfect.

This slight flaw generally doesn't have much effect, just get used to it. But in the face of this kind of duel between top masters, any flaw will be infinitely magnified, so every time Zhang Yifei wants to surpass Kubica, he is always so far behind.

However, the process of catching up is also a process of learning, and after a few laps, Zhang Yifei has basically figured out the characteristics of the new gearbox. He didn't dare to say that he could change gears as perfectly as he did during the test run, or at least overtake Kubica, which should not be an obstacle.

Just when Zhang Yifei was about to attack again, Coser's familiar voice finally came from the headset: "Now that the schedule is approaching halfway, can't you even adapt to the slight changes in the gearbox?" ”

This time Korsell didn't feel like he was being harsh, because he had already given Zhang Yifei plenty of time. If it is completely according to the standards of F1 drivers, there is no so-called adaptation process at all, and the moment you sit in the car, no matter what kind of car tuning, you must achieve the unity of the car and the person!

Obviously, Zhang Yifei still has an obvious gap!

Minor changes? Zhang Yifei is not convinced by this, the adjustment of the high-speed gear of the car, because of the difference in the characteristics of the gearbox itself, coupled with the lack of experience of Yamamoto Youkyo and Ah Hu, resulting in the speed gap is almost close to 1,000 rpm, which can also be called subtle?

Using the track race as a practice, it takes ten minutes to adapt to overtaking the opponent, does Korsell not see himself as a person, or does he not see the opponent on the track as a person?

But Zhang Yifei didn't talk back, because he also knew that these reasons were not reasons to put on the track. What you need to think about is how to solve it, not to justify yourself crookedly.

"I'm almost getting used to it."

"You should know, I don't like the word almost."

"I'm used to it!"

Zhang Yifei gritted his teeth and replied, when the old man in Germany hated it, it was really a bit of a hateful feeling!

"After getting used to it, you overtook Kubica on this lap, do you want to not even be able to see Dixon's taillights?"

There is a reason why Korsell chose this time to stimulate Zhang Yifei, that is, when the schedule is close to halfway, Zhang Yifei and Kubika have been fighting for too long, and they have slowed down each other.

To use an old Chinese saying, it is that the mussels and cranes compete with each other, and the fishermen benefit. No matter how fast Kubica and Zhang Yifei are, constantly changing lines to attack and defend battles, they are still not as happy as Dixon running alone.

After more than ten laps, the gap accumulated little by little, and it became a big advantage for Dixon.

Caser has never underestimated Zhang Yifei's opponents on the track, especially Dixon, who has always been the object of Caser's attention. If Zhang Yifei doesn't overtake Kubika and continues to entangle with him, it is very likely that he will not be able to catch up with Dixon's pace.

"I see, Dixon doesn't have a chance to be a champion."

"Is there a chance that you don't say it by mouth, prove it to me."

After Korcel finished speaking, he hung up the team's intercom system directly, the current situation can no longer allow Zhang Yifei to only be qualified, he must be good enough to win the championship of Silverstone Circuit!

After the call, Zhang Yifei looked at Kubica in front of him with a cold face, he was about to start playing the limit.

I saw that at this time, Zhang Yifei stepped on the accelerator and used the wake to cling to Kubica again, and the two cars were like colliding, and the bite was very tight!

After passing through the highway, the two cars came to the turning point of the track, which is a right-angle chicane called VALE, which requires the car to be reduced to 80km/h in second gear and then cut through.

The difficulty of this corner is that because the front is a high-speed corner, many drivers have not yet changed their driving habits when facing VALE corners, resulting in too fast entering the corner, and it is easy to have a sharp brake and lock the tires.

Therefore, in VALE corners, maintaining a correct speed and finding the right braking point are the two key points.

These two points are not difficult for Zhang Yifei or Kubica, both of them know the track very well, and their strength is here, it is difficult to make any low-level mistakes.

After so many laps before, Zhang Yifei didn't try to take the opportunity to overtake it in the VALE corner. But the difficulty of this corner itself is not low, and overtaking is even more difficult, so Zhang Yifei has not succeeded several times.

This time, the two of them came out of Turn 7 and before entering the Vale Corner, Kubica faced Zhang Yifei's close proximity, he kept looking in the rearview mirror, and at the same time occupied the best route through the Vale Corner, not giving Zhang Yifei any chance.

Faced with this situation, Zhang Yifei did not choose the best cornering tangent, but stepped on the accelerator before entering the corner, and used the "slingshot" effect of the wake to directly catch up with the front garage Bika, and the two were in a side-by-side state.

Seeing Zhang Yifei appear on his left side, Kubica did not panic in the slightest, on the contrary, he had a kind of ridicule in his heart.

Chinese kid can't help it again? But now I occupy the tangent line of the corner, and the braking point of the VALE bend is in front of me, and I don't have to brake honestly and follow behind my car?

Zhang Yifei's current overtaking behavior is meaningless in the eyes of Kubica, so he can only make a show and vent his frustration of following him to look at the taillights. Because there is a VALE bend in front of him, Zhang Yifei did not occupy the best tangent line, and he waited to rush out of the track at this speed.

Therefore, Zhang Yifei must brake, and then follow him to make a corner, and everything will return to the starting point.

It's just that this time, Kubika thought a little simpler, Zhang Yifei did not slow down, on the contrary, he accelerated again and completely surpassed Kubica.

But because of this overtaking move, Zhang Yifei's speed reached 120km/h in 2nd gear, and he missed the best braking point.

Is this crazy Chinese kid? This kind of speed and course, also thought about VALE Bend?

Kubika looked at Zhang Yifei's actions, and was very surprised in his heart, because at this speed, Zhang Yifei definitely had no way to turn normally. Either choose the wheel to lock and brake sharply, burying the hidden danger of a puncture tire for the later race.

Either you just go straight off the track and end the race early, there is no third option.

But it's a pity that Zhang Yifei still gave Kubika a third option, only to see Zhang Yifei choose to change lanes to seize his cornering route at the moment of overtaking Kubica, and accurately reduced the speed to 90km/h with a foot of brake.

In the current formula car, there are no penalty rules for changing lanes twice, but as long as the front nose wing crosses the rear wheel, it means that the overtaking is successful. If you change lanes at this time, the dangerous consequences will be severely punished by the FIA.

This is why Zhang Yifei chose to accelerate at a critical time and seize the front of Kubica. It's because he needs to completely surpass Kubica, otherwise if the other party doesn't give way, he will catch up with the throttle with one foot on the throttle, and he will inevitably be squeezed out of the track if he doesn't seize the route.

If Kubica is a little more ruthless, even if it is two people who crash out, it is because Zhang Yifei did not succeed in grabbing the line, and Kubica will not be punished.

Zhang Yifei didn't dare to bet on whether Kubica was ruthless or not, because Zhang Yifei's own creed was that people were not ruthless and could not stand firmly.

So he had to overtake Kubica completely, then change lanes to grab his cornering route and become the car in front completely to make sure that Kubica didn't "take risks".

However, Zhang Yifei's acceleration at the last moment, as well as missing the best braking point, made him enter the corner too fast. And according to the original Kubica's cornering route, the tangent arc is not enough at this speed.

It's like driving on a normal road, the smaller the turning angle, the lower the speed. However, if you can find a more curved corner, you can get even faster.

The width of the track is so long, it is impossible to have an extra place out of thin air for Zhang Yifei to draw a big arc. So in this case, all Zhang Yifei can do is to borrow the shoulders on both sides of the track!

The reason why he chose to borrow it now is that after more than ten laps, the tire marks on the track have begun to appear.

You must know that unlike F1 races, Formula Renault has not yet experienced the layers of selection for F3 and F3000 events, and the gap between the strength of drivers is very large.

The top drivers may have reached the level of future F1 drivers, and the rookie drivers are at the kart level. These drivers are not strong, and the line on the track is naturally a mess, not to mention the sudden low-speed corner of VALE, which will be too fast if you don't react.

So more than one rider has had this situation, and the only way to save it is to borrow the shoulder of the road.

Although the shoulder of Silverstone is full of risks, it is already about to rush out of control, what is this risk?

After more than a dozen laps, each lap there were drivers borrowing the shoulder, some of them rushed out, but some still succeeded, so that tire marks were formed on the ground.

Lei has already been ridden by those riders, and what Zhang Yifei has to do now is to choose a successful route, borrow the shoulders on both sides of the VALE bend, and complete the overtaking of Kubica!
