211 Can You Be So Strong?
"Three, two, one!"
As He Ziling's arm waved, Zhang Yifei and Zhou Yunhui instantly ejected and started out.
To be honest, Zhang Yifei feels that he has not experienced this feeling of starting for a long time, because the slick tires of formula cars have a grip that far exceeds the hot melt tires of ordinary performance cars, and it is almost impossible for the tires to slip.
Of course, if you really want to burn the throttle, you can do the same in a formula car, after all, the power of the engine is there.
For example, F1 is the precise tuning parameters of the engine. Although the individual convoys are kept secret. However, with the blessing of the V10 engine in this era, it is conservatively estimated to be around 700P, or even higher.
This kind of power parameter is not inferior to any supercar, even a violent supercar may not be as good as the F1 power data that breaks 1,000.
Coupled with the car's lighter and more advanced aerodynamic design, it is not an exaggeration to say that the fastest supercar does not see the taillights of F1.
Not to mention those who can get an F1 super driver's license, there are only dozens of people on the earth, and their driving skills are even more overwhelming.
It's just that no one in F1 will burn tires, after all, the loss of grip of tires means power loss.
But that's not all, the starting action of the formula car is very difficult, and if there is a slight mistake in the oil separation, it may be just a matter of turning off the calf. Therefore, the formula driver, who can ensure the normal reaction and starting operation, is already qualified.
The roar and roar of the engines of the two cars, coupled with the sense of speed that quickly rushed over, made He Ziling subconsciously curl up his body.
Not standing in the middle of the track and experiencing the furious start of such a high-performance car up close is indeed a great impact on ordinary people, let alone a little girl.
Zhang Yifei's starting operation is not inferior to Zhou Yunhui, and it can even be said that he is ahead. But there was a clear lag in the start, and this is the gap caused by the weight of the car.
There's nothing quite like being lightweight!
Zhang Yifei, a "suit thug" Mercedes-Benz S55AMG, the power is actually not bad at all, for a track like New North with a lot of curves and closer to the mountain road, 500P is completely enough, even if it is 300P horsepower, Zhang Yifei can barely make do.
After all, Zhang Yifei just wanted to run into 8 minutes, and didn't really want to set any new record on the New North Circuit.
But in terms of lightweight, this "suit thug" is a big step behind, although the rear seat is also removed, and a roll cage is added to ensure the safety of the rider.
However, many of the luxurious decorative things in the front row have not been removed, probably to highlight the characteristics of this car. In addition, it is a medium-sized long-axle S-class luxury car, and its own weight is not low without carbon fiber modification of the whole car.
The Mercedes-Benz S55AMG prototype weighs about 2 tons, and Zhang Yifei's car still weighs as much as 1.7 tons after initial modification and removal of some parts.
And Zhou Yunhui's track version of Opel Astra, but everything that can be dismantled is almost dismantled, not to mention all kinds of decorations, and even the air conditioner in the car is removed, and the weight of the vehicle is about 1.2 tons.
The difference of 500 kilograms is basically difficult to make up, unless it is the general power of crushing.
Zhou Yunhui's track version of Opel Astra power Zhang Yifei doesn't know, after all, this kind of racing tuning is a secret of many teams, but just a V8 engine is put out, Zhang Yifei feels that it is at least with Mercedes-Benz S55AMG.
The power is not weak, so it is not surprising that the start was gradually pulled apart by Zhou Yunhui.
"It seems that if you want to start and win, you have to drive the S55 brother over."
Watching Zhou Yunhui gradually pull apart a body, Zhang Yifei muttered a sentence in his mouth.
The brother of this Mercedes-Benz S55AMG, in fact, Zhang Yifei is also very familiar with it, because he has to see it every time he races.
It is the current Formula Renault safety car, the Mercedes-Benz CLK55, and the Mercedes-Benz team will drive this car, and will also win this year's DTM touring car championship.
Of course, Zhang Yifei just thought about it, if the car rental company really had a CLK55 just now, he would still choose this "suit thug". After all, there are too many sports cars, and there are only a few cars that can meet the definition of "suit thug".
In 2nd and 3rd gears, Zhang Yifei directly pressed the accelerator pedal to the end, and then entered the gear without loosening the oil to maintain the high speed of the engine.
There is no way, Zhang Yifei estimates that his acceleration from 0 to 100 kilometers is about 4.3 seconds, which is 0.5 seconds higher than the original state. However, Zhou Yunhui's event-level Opel Atel, 000 acceleration must be in the 3-second range, and if you don't play extreme operations, the gap will be widened.
There is no problem with the race-level gearbox to play like this, after all, the torque impact resistance of the sequential gearbox is very large, but this S55 only strengthens the clutch plate, and does not modify the gearbox, so the consequence of such a violent shift is that the setback is obvious.
But so what? This is on the track, and the pursuit is not comfort, as long as it can make the car faster, no matter what operation is normal.
The speed of the two cars broke 100 in a few seconds, rushing directly towards the speed of 200, relative to the obvious acceleration above 000, the potential value of the rear acceleration S55 is still good, after all, the bottom of the 500P horsepower is here.
The speed began to soar, and the two of them chased after each other frantically, Zhou Yunhui saw from the rearview mirror that Zhang Yifei was not thrown off, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.
You must know that today is not a fair showdown, the performance of the two cars on the track can almost be described as a double difference, and theoretically it is appropriate to crush Zhang Yifei by himself.
But the result is not so smooth, Zhang Yifei can still bite himself now, which means that this guy's starting and gear timing can be called perverted precision, and the least power connection loss has been achieved, so that the acceleration of the S55 car has reached the limit.
Otherwise, in this short starting acceleration stage of 0 to 200 kilometers, Zhou Yunhui felt that he could fall Zhang Yifei for more than 1 second, and now it seems that there is not such a big gap.
It turns out that he is so strong, no wonder he was able to win the championship in Hockenheim and create history as a Chinese driver.
Zhou Yunhui secretly admired in his heart, it can be said that he rarely admires other Asian drivers, even Japan's top touring car masters.
After all, Zhou Yunhui is one of the few Asian drivers who can be signed by European teams and enter the DTM. Even if he is just a test driver, he is one of the top track racers in Asia right now.
Because compared to the test drivers in the formula, the test drivers of the DTM touring car race have a much greater chance of playing.
The main reason is that there are far fewer teams participating in the DTM touring car race, as it restricts the participation of private teams, and only factory teams are eligible.
So far, DTM only has Mercedes-Benz, BMW, and Audi, the top three German companies, plus an Opel and Alfa Romeo. 12 years later, it was the only gladiatorial arena left between the German top three, and the other teams withdrew.
The number of teams is small, but the number of drivers of manufacturers has not decreased, and there are only two official drivers in F1, but DTM can have seven drivers on the same team at its most exaggerated time, depending on the number of participating teams.
The increase in the number of people has greatly increased the probability of test drivers playing, so Zhou Yunhui is a driver who has the opportunity to really participate in the DTM race. In a sense, it is also the first time for a Chinese driver to participate in the world's top touring car events, and he naturally has a high vision, and it is impossible to admire another driver casually.
When he was on Hong Kong Island before, Zhou Yunhui had seen Zhang Yifei's operation on the Quanjin Highway, and he was able to beat Xie Tiancheng, which aroused his interest in running with Zhang Yi.
But the street is the street after all, Zhou Yunhui is interested in Zhang Yifei's strength and wants to run, which does not mean how much he values the other party, let alone arouse the idea of admiration.
Now the two are really facing off on the New North Circuit, Zhang Yifei is driving a Mercedes-Benz S55AMG, and he can catch up with his own track version of Opel Astra, which requires extremely strong strength to do.
The two cars were racing rapidly, and soon entered the corner, this is Zhang Yifei's first time running the New North Circuit, he naturally can't know much about the track, all the corners need to rely on the field to play.
In fact, Zhou Yunhui is not much better, after all, he has not been in Europe for two months, and the DTM touring car circuit is not Newnorth, but Hockenheim or Nürburgring South Loop like Formula Race.
It's just that compared to Zhang Yifei, Zhou Yunhui has run a few laps in New Zealand, but to say that he can remember the corners, it is a fantasy. With more than 170 corners on the circuit, no driver can memorize so many corners in a short period of time, unless they are a perennial fixture.
Both men were playing on the spot, but when cornering, the gap between the two cars became more and more obvious.
The two-door, short-wheelbase version of the Opel Astra is a pure racing car, built for the racetrack.
As long as it finds the right route in cornering and the tires grip enough, it can easily pass at high speed.
But Zhang Yifei's one is different, it is the foundation of the Mercedes-Benz S-class, a luxury business car, which naturally cannot be compared with a two-door track coupe.
In particular, the long wheelbase cornering line is much higher than the short wheelbase, and in order to avoid some novice rookie expansion accidents, there is no way to borrow the shoulder, which is equivalent to shortening the width of the track by about half a meter.
In addition, many corners of the New North Circuit itself are narrow, just like mountain roads, which makes Zhang Yifei's cornering skills more challenging.
Just like an ordinary civilian car turns around, a small car may easily pass with one steering wheel, while a large car needs to reverse and play two steering wheels. Although Zhang Yifei's exit is not so exaggerated, his challenge is much greater than that of Zhou Yunhui.
However, this is still difficult for Zhang Yifei, the long-term formula car training, coupled with Cosell's training for cornering and routing during this period of time, has given Zhang Yifei an extremely strong foundation.
Even if he was driving a Mercedes-Benz "suit thug", he still didn't have the slightest "bloated" feeling in his hands, and he used extremely fast and smooth lines to perfectly corner, and he didn't lag behind Zhou Yunhui much.
After Zhou Yunhui cornered, he subconsciously looked at the rearview mirror, he wanted to see how far behind Zhang Yifei would be in the corner.
But when he looked in the rearview mirror, Zhang Yifei's Mercedes-Benz S55 had already appeared on it, and it was ready to go out of the corner.
If Zhou Yunhui was surprised by Zhang Yifei's driving skills before, then now it can be described as frightened.
