Although there are still two short months before the return of the island, the national identity of the people of the island is still very strong.

Driven by these words, the cheers continued to sound one after another.

"Zhang Yifei, you must win the championship!"

"I'm just waiting to see you make history, Rider Fly!"

"Don't let me down, Zhang Yifei!"

The atmosphere has changed from the previous regular underground racing to a kind of cheering and encouragement for Zhang Yifei.

It can be said that from this moment on, Zhang Yifei used his strength to conquer the entire underground racing circle in Hong Kong and Macao!

Hearing this shout, Zhang Yifei smiled and clenched his fists, without anyone reminding him, he would do his best to win the Ao Island Grand Prix championship.

At this time, Chen Qiang of the Aodao Rongxin team came to Zhang Yifei, took out a check and handed it to Zhang Yifei and said: "Brother K and Lin Shao have already left, they asked me to pay the venue fee first, this is a check for one million Hong Kong dollars, you can confirm it." ”

Zhang Yifei took the check and glanced at it, to be honest, he really hadn't touched such a thing as a check before, after all, in later generations, even cash was used less, all kinds of bank cards and mobile phone payments, how could he use any check.

But in Hong Kong and Macao in this era, checks are used for large-amount transfers, and Lin Shao couldn't take out so much money at once, so he asked Chen Qiang to transfer it on his behalf, and then he returned it to Chen Qiang.

Zhang Yifei pretended to look at it twice, and found that he couldn't see any tricks, so he could only nod his head.

"Okay, I'll not bother."

Before leaving, Chen Qiang also said to Zhang Yifei: "Come on, win the F3 championship of Aodao." ”

"No problem."

Zhang Yifei replied with a smile, self-confidence is still necessary.

Seeing Chen Qiang leave, Zhang Yifei hurriedly came to Xie Tiancheng's side, handed over the check and asked, "Look at it, this won't be fake, right?" ”

For Zhang Yifei's move, Xie Tiancheng couldn't laugh or cry, where was the crushing king momentum on the track just now, it was almost like a money fan.

"Don't worry, Chen Qiang's reputation is more than one million Hong Kong dollars."

"Then it seems that Lin Shao's reputation is also worth millions."

Zhang Yifei sighed with emotion, it is really better to have a good father these days, the amount of millions of dollars, someone will guarantee it if you throw a sentence.

"That's because of his father's credibility."

Xie Tiancheng replied angrily, and then asked, "What are you going to do next, continue to run two laps, or something else?" ”

"Go back and go to bed early in the evening."

"Five laps is enough?"

"Three laps, to be exact, is enough."

After Zhang Yifei finished speaking, he directly opened the co-pilot's door and sat down.

This sentence is really not an exaggeration, because he came here today mainly to verify some key data, not to try to run any extreme results.

Because the gap between GT cars and formula cars is too big, and all the operating feel is completely different, it doesn't make much sense to test run GT cars to the limit.

So after three laps, it is enough to verify the route and speed of some corners, there is no need to continue to stay here and do useless work, it is better to go back to rest early.

"Alright then, I'll send you back."

After finishing speaking, Xie Tiancheng made the engine car and drove in the direction of the hotel.

Seeing Zhang Yifei preparing to leave, the underground drivers on both sides of the track waved goodbye to him.

Many people are still very excited, after all, this kind of scene of Asia's top formula drivers, competing with GT champions on the streets of the Guia Circuit, I don't know if I will see it again in the future.

Back at the hotel, Zhang Yifei waved his hand briefly, saying goodbye to Xie Tiancheng. After entering the profession, Zhang Yifei's work and rest time is very regular, and there are few scenes of staying up late, so he said that when he came back to sleep, he really planned to rest early.

The next morning, the team members had a breakfast party, and they also knew that Zhang Yifei had gone to the Guia Circuit last night, so Yamamoto Ukyo asked first.

"Yifei-kun, how was the result of the test run last night."

"It's going well, the speed calculation of several important corners is fine, and you can follow the standard route."

Hearing that he was not wrong, Yamamoto Youkyo had a smile on his face, and he nodded and replied, "Then I will be relieved about tomorrow's training match." ”

This time he participated in the Grand Prix, which was the first time Zhang Yifei broke away from the pre-race test run and directly challenged a completely unfamiliar track, and it was also the most difficult street venue.

Without the support of professional team race data, all the curved routes were calculated by Ukyo Yamamoto.

You must know that Yamamoto Ukyo himself is the kind of conservative and rigorous character, but he is not as confident as Zhang Yifei. So he has been in a state of anxiety these days, worried that his track data will have problems.

After all, given the speed and precision of a formula car, even a few centimeters of error can lead to a track accident. Yamamoto Ukyo felt that he had a heavy responsibility on his shoulders, and he was very bottomless in his heart.

Now hearing Zhang Yifei say that there is no problem, it can be regarded as a relief to Yamamoto Youjing.

"Don't worry, treat it as a small scene!"

Zhang Yifei replied helplessly, his "arrogant" style really didn't affect Yamamoto Ukyo at all.

The track test run was no problem, and Junko Takeda opened up to say something else.

"Flying Great, tomorrow morning's Grand Prix opener is the F3 practice and tryouts. So this afternoon, we have to carry out the overhaul work of the car in advance, do you have any comments on tuning? ”

The biggest feature of the Grand Prix is that the three races of touring car, motorcycle and formula are held at the same time. But Formula 3 has always been the highlight and finale of the Grand Prix.

Therefore, every year in the Grand Prix, the opening race is the F3 practice and qualifying round, and the final finale of the second day is also an F3 event.

Therefore, the pre-race test cannot be carried out in the morning of the race like Formula Renault, and the race time is at 9 o'clock in the morning, which must be carried out one day in advance.

"It's up to Kossel to decide on the tuning of the car, and I have no opinion."

Zhang Yifei expressed his attitude that professional matters should be handed over to professionals, and it is best not to mix blindly if there is nothing to do.

"Another thing you have to note is that this is a new F3 car, although the structure is basically the same as the Renault car, but the chassis and power have changed a lot."

"And this time the Gran Prix Organising Committee can't provide a test car on the track, so you only have half an hour to get used to tomorrow for the practice session."

This time it is an Oshima F3 event, naturally a new F3 car, and there is no essential difference in the car structure. However, in terms of power and speed, there has been a lot of improvement, and Zhang Yifei needs to adapt quickly.

"That's fine, I can adapt."

Zhang Yifei replied affirmatively, thinking that he had never even touched a formula car, so he drove the Toyota TF101 prototype to complete the trial training at the Toyota youth training base.

No matter how difficult it is to adapt now, can you still be sad about the stage when you haven't even touched the car at the beginning?

"Alright, let's wait for tomorrow's event."

……

November 2 is the official start of the 45th Grand Prix.

In order to prepare for the opening race that will start at 9 o'clock in the morning, Zhang Yifei's team and his party have already set off to the pitfall area of the Guia Circuit when it is still dark.

The pit room of the Grand Prix is a major feature of the Ao Island F3 race. Because of the limited land area, the area of the P house on Ao Island is basically only half the size of the maintenance stations that Zhang Yifei has seen before.

The size of the area is not the point, the Ao Island P room is different from the one-sided arrangement of the normal track pit station, it is arranged on both sides face to face, and in the middle of the two P rooms, there is also a wide pit lane, which is convenient for the car to enter and exit the station.

But in fact, the race time of the F3 race is not much different from that of Renault Formula Junior Race, which is only half an hour, and there is no need for any pit stops at all.

So the Ao Island P room paddock, the real use of this maintenance channel, is for the departure!

That's right, because even the widest section of the Guia Circuit is two metres wider than the narrowest part of the regular circuit.

The track is a little narrower, but it's okay to find a spacious place to place two cars side by side for the start.

The reason for the pit lane is that there can't be just two cars on the track during a real race. There will also be staff, team members, sponsors, journalists, race girls, photographers, and more.

If you come across a 7-meter-wide track with two cars in place, so many people may not even find a place to stand. It is precisely because of the premise of the narrow track that the starting area of the Guia Race, which is shared with the pit lane, is also the only one in the world.

When Zhang Yifei and his party came to the P room, although it was just dawn and there were still a few hours before the official competition, the maintenance area could already be described as full of people.

Other teams and drivers also want to hurry up, and it is best to prepare well before the race, so as not to drop the chain during the race.

At this moment, in the middle of the P room, a formula car has been placed, from the appearance of the structure, and the Renault car that Zhang Yifei drove before, there is no essential difference, but in terms of power and speed, there is a small improvement.

What's more, this car may feel completely different from the previous Renault cars in terms of driving and tuning. Because the manufacturer of this racing car is no longer the French company Renault, but the professional racing manufacturer Dalra from Italy.

Dalra is different from the car company that people think of, it does not sell any civilian-grade products, but only serves racing cars.

Whether it's a touring car, F3, a prototype car, or an IndyCar, Dalra is involved in almost every form of motorsport, making them the world's largest manufacturer of racing chassis.

It can be said that this is a new F3 car that is similar in appearance and structure, but completely different from Renault on the inside. Junko Takeda was worried about this before, she didn't know if Zhang Yifei could use the half-hour training match to completely control this new car when there was no way to test the car at all! ntent
