Junko Takeda's inner disappointment began to change a little as Zhang Yifei began to run the second lap.

Because of Zhang Yifei's speed in the second lap, it has obviously climbed, not to mention that it is comparable to the European drivers who tried before, but at least it can barely be regarded as the normal test speed. The feeling of unfamiliarity in cornering is also significantly reduced, and the cornering trajectory becomes smoother.

By the time Zhang Yifei reached the third lap, the speed had reached a normal state, and the feeling of unfamiliarity with the control had almost disappeared, and he had begun to adapt to this speed and control.

However, this performance only meant that Junko Takeda was not so disappointed, and it had nothing to do with expectations or surprises, and in terms of pure test lap times, he was close to ten seconds slower than the younger European trial drivers, which is really not a good result.

Of course, this is just a test lap, after all, each driver has a different personality, some like to finish the race in a proper manner, and some people like to do things even on the warm-up lap of the F1 field, which does not represent a driver's real driving skills.

After three laps, Zhang Yifei's helmet headset came Yamamoto Ukyo's voice: "The driver returned to the starting point, ready to wait for the starting signal, and the next step was the official trial." ”

Just like in Formula 1 mode, Zhang Yifei drove the formula car back to the starting line, with five rows of signal lights in front of his head. Just like the race flag, these combinations of lights have different meanings, such as the time the person leaves the track, the engine starts time, the start of the race, and so on.

Zhang Yifei's eyes were locked on the signal light, he did not have the absolute confidence that he had when he ran on the street before, and every millisecond of time difference may become the key point of whether the trial is passed, so the starting action must be perfect.

The fifth-row indicator lights went out, and the formula car sprinted out with a "swish", and the strong power of breaking 100 in four seconds was displayed, and the strong push back feeling directly pressed Zhang Yifei on the seat.

This is the difference from the previous karting, Zhang Yifei can already clearly feel the G value brought by the acceleration, if it weren't for the previous physical exercise for a few months, this acceleration G value alone can suppress Zhang Yifei out of breath.

The speed of the car began to increase crazily, and in order to achieve an average speed of not less than 130km/h, Zhang Yifei must accelerate to a speed close to 200km/h in the straight-line acceleration stage, so as to recover the time loss of deceleration in the corner.

The roar of the engine resounded through the track, and the camera at the observation point had begun to monitor at high speed, recording Zhang Yifei's driving trajectory, and soon he would face the first corner, which was the moment to really test his skills.

The first corner, which is a normal right-hand turn, can be done by a first-class driver without braking, as long as the throttle is empty. Second-rate drivers can keenly find the braking point to minimize the impact of braking and ensure their speed. As for the third-rate drivers, it goes without saying, because the third-rate drivers can't run the formula and are eliminated directly in the kart stage.

Zhang Yifei's speed at the moment has broken through the 200km/h mark, because this is the longest straight on the Toyota track, if this section does not accelerate with floor oil, then it will be much more difficult to speed up in the next corner, so Zhang Yifei also hung up to fifth gear in just a few seconds to ensure the acceleration of the car.

was about to enter the corner, and both the Toyota team and Lu Ningping were paying close attention to Zhang Yifei's control. Whether you can pass the trial, in fact, you can see the clue from the first corner, if you slow down too much in an ordinary right turn, then it means that the strength of the driver is not good.

Zhang Yifei stuck to the right side of the track at this moment and chose a tangential cornering route, but there was no sign of slowing down. According to Zhang Yifei's experience, the ultimate cornering speed should be around 170km/h, but this is the experience of track racing, and the grip of the bald tires of the formula car is better, and the upper limit should be increased.

It's just that the speed of the car is far more than 170km/h, the number on the computer has reached 230km/h, and there are less than two seconds to enter the corner.

Just when everyone began to wonder, the brake light of Zhang Yifei's racing car lit up, and this scene appeared, which made Junko Takeda and data master Yamamoto Ukyo frown.

Because this is a typical novice operation, when facing a long straight, he accelerates like crazy, trying to gain a little time advantage on this section. As a result, I was about to enter the corner, and I couldn't slow down the corner, so I slammed on the brakes.

In this way, the loss of power is very large, and it also increases the shift time several times, which is an extremely rookie way of operation.

Zhang Yifei's operation steps at the moment are exactly the same as those rookies who have just come into contact with the equation, thinking about the blank in Zhang Yifei's performance resume before, Junko Takeda began to secretly regret in her heart that she shouldn't have lowered her standards so much and let a pure newcomer try out.

But soon they saw another scene, that is, Zhang Yifei did step on the brakes, but it was not a slamming brake to slow down.

The brake lights dimmed as soon as they lit up, and the car remained at 200 km/h as it entered the right side of the corner.

"He's going to turn corners at this speed?"

Junko Takeda subconsciously opened her mouth wide, the speed of 200km/h has exceeded the limit of this corner, and only the Japanese F3 champion Takuma Sato has run out of this track before, this Chinese driver's resume, without any junior formula results, he dares to run like this?

The answer came out quickly, Zhang Yifei really dared to run like this, the car cut into the corner at a crazy speed, and the horizontal G value of the whole car had already pressed Zhang Yifei's body to the left side, if it weren't for the five-point seat belt, which locked Zhang Yifei firmly in the seat, Zhang Yifei doubted that he would be thrown out.

At the same time, Zhang Yifei also felt that the whole car had a slight side slip, and the grip of the tires had reached the limit at this speed. In addition, today's track surface is slightly wetter, and the grip is less than that of dry road, which reduces the ultimate speed of cornering.

Lu Ningping on the observation platform, his eyes were staring at Zhang Yifei's racing track, and they were top professional drivers who could naturally feel a slight deviation in the cornering trajectory.

Formula racing isn't like drifting on a trail or in a rally, and once the tires lose grip and drift, it can be a crash.

At an ultra-high speed of 200 km/h, even if you wear a full set of protective gear, a sideline safety fence and a racing roll cage protection, there is still a high risk. It doesn't have to be a death, even a serious injury, or the psychological aftermath of an accident that can ruin a driver's life.

Zhang Yifei held the steering wheel and desperately adjusted the body posture, he could be said to have found the perfect cutting route, but because of the lack of grip, the whole car still deviated to the left.

The front left nose wing of the car has grazed the safety barrier on the sideline, and it turns in a very thrilling way. If the corner just now deviates from the left by one centimeter, or the tire grabs into the safety guardrail, then this trial can end early, and whether Zhang Yifei can drive down the car has become a problem.

That's the essence of professional racing, there's no such thing as a safe speed, and you're always on the verge of getting out of control.
