301 Underground
Anyone who has watched F1 races knows that there is no drift in formula cars. Because once there is drifting, it means that the racing tires lose their grip, which is a manifestation of time and space.
But Iide Yuji, a god man, was actually on the F1 track, playing the operation of drifting through the corners, and the other drivers who directly competed with him were scared.
This kind of drifting cornering course, which F1 driver has seen, is even more unpredictable. Whoever runs with this guy will directly multiply the psychological pressure, and it will be a collision on the track.
Moreover, Iide Yuji does not understand English, and he needs his own boss to communicate with the team's technical or race engineers on the track, and Akuri Suzuki acts as a simultaneous translator.
If Akuri Suzuki hadn't had time to translate, he would have asked fellow driver Takuma Sato.
When you think about the car you were nervous about, and the opponent couldn't even understand the track instructions, and you had to translate it yourself, you could feel how desperate Sato Takuma was at that time.
This point can't help but remind Zhang Yifei of Ah Hu and Brother Zhi, because the two of them don't understand English, and they are doing whatever it takes to find He Ziling as a teacher to help them adapt to the environment of the European equation.
I really don't know what Akuri Suzuki thinks, Iide Yuji doesn't understand a word of English, and he can accept this. It is said that Prost is very stubborn, and Zhang Yifei seems to think that Akuri Suzuki's idea of building a pure Japanese team is simply stubborn to the point of whimsy!
The only consolation is that Taka Sato himself is also a "kamikaze" style driver, and Schumacher has been hit by him more than once. At least in terms of driving style, he and Iide Yuji can be regarded as having the same smell.
In the end, the "legendary" driver, in his fourth race, turned the corner and knocked the Midland driver off the track. And it's the kind of serious track accident where a series of somersaults and all four wheels are missed.
It is precisely because of this that the FIA (International Automobile Federation) finally couldn't stand the time bomb on this kind of track and directly revoked the super driver's license of Yuji Ide, and the Japanese driver who set the "record" finally left the F1 stage.
Of course, this was all in 2006, and at this point in time, no one knew that Iide Yuji was such a god-man.
"Iide is one of the top drivers in Japan right now, having won several All Japan F3 Championships and running GP2 races. There are plans to land in Europe and, if successful, become a potential F1 driver. ”
Junko Takeda introduced it seriously, but Zhang Yifei held back the smile in his heart.
Cosell was sitting next to Zhang Yifei, probably feeling the change in Zhang Yifei's expression, he coughed and said to Zhang Yifei: "Be serious, respecting your opponent is respecting yourself." ”
"I understand."
Zhang Yifei responded, he really didn't want to laugh at Iide Yuji, but what this guy did, it's really a bit funny in the F1 event, he just felt that he could be an opponent with him in this world, and there was a sense of "fate".
In fact, the main reason for so many commotion operations cannot be blamed on Yuji Ide, his upper limit is a GP2 driver, which does not meet the requirements of F1 drivers at all, but is caused by Akuri Suzuki to drive ducks on the shelves and pull them over to make up the numbers.
"Okay, for the time being, you just pay attention to these four drivers, and if you're chasing competition on the track, don't be too careless."
After saying these words, Yamamoto Youkyo on the other side took out a stack of materials and handed it to Zhang Yifei and said: "This is the theoretical cornering route of the Guia Circuit that I calculated, you can compare and refer to it." ”
Zhang Yifei took over Yamamoto Ukyo's track data, which was just a few thin track maps, but he knew that the amount of calculation required behind this would be very amazing!
At the same time, Zhang Yifei also remembered that Xie Tiancheng had given him the RV track data before, so he took it out and said: "I also have a copy of the Guia Circuit RV data, which is provided by the Honda Data Center, plus the theoretical track data of Youjing for reference comparison, I should be able to roughly understand the fastest cornering route." ”
Korsell didn't ask Zhang Yifei how the data came from, because this kind of RV data is of little significance to formula racing, and it really only serves as a reference and is dispensable, so he doesn't care very much.
"Okay, let's stop here today, fly, and then it's up to you to prepare."
The meaning of Koser's words is obvious, to use the old Chinese saying, that is, the master leads the door, and the cultivation depends on the individual.
At present, the support that this kind of team can do is almost to the limit, and the next thing is to rely on Zhang Yifei's own performance. Perhaps in the future, this situation will be played out frequently, and Zhang Yifei must learn to adapt.
"Don't worry, I won't let you down."
Zhang Yifei replied affirmatively, he had already been mentally prepared.
Take the Iide Yuji just mentioned, for example, because he has no training and experience in F1 races, he is purely chasing ducks to the shelves. When you encounter an unfamiliar track, you don't even dare to drive faster.
In general, the speed of the long straight of the F1 track must reach about 300km/h, but as a result, Iide Yuji does not even feel 200km/h.
Zhang Yifei will also face various unfamiliar tracks in the future, and if he doesn't want to be the next well Yuji, he has to make himself stronger!
In the next few days, Zhang Yifei did not choose to go to the Guia Circuit to continue the test run, but calmed down and watched the track data provided by Yamamoto Ukyo and Xie Tiancheng. Combined with some of the memories of my test run that day, I simulated the fastest cornering route.
It may not work perfectly, but in terms of the current conditions of the Guia Circuit, even if you go there for a test run, you can get very little improvement, so you don't have to waste time.
At the same time, in the past few days, as the news of Zhang Yifei's arrival on Ao Island has spread, some media reporters from Ao Island have also found the hotel where Zhang Yifei is staying and want to interview him.
And some paparazzi began to lurk around the hotel, wanting to take a little bit of exciting news about Zhang Yifei.
Zhang Yifei refused all the interview requests, because this is not in Europe, and he does not need to use interviews to raise his profile and establish a tough image of Chinese drivers.
Aodao is about to return, and as the only Chinese contestant, even if he does not accept any interviews, Zhang Yifei's attention will not be low. As long as you can win the championship, it will be easy to detonate the island.
Therefore, Zhang Yifei has no need and no time to be interviewed by any reporter at this point in time.
A few days passed quickly, with only three days left before the start of the main race, and even two days left before the start of the practice session.
The renovation project of the Guia Circuit has been completely completed at this moment, the reinforced protective fences have been installed in place, and the construction materials that had been piled up on the side of the road have also been cleared.
In addition, the entire surface of the Guia Circuit has been meticulously restored to prepare for the upcoming Grand Prix. Moreover, all the manhole covers on the track are welded and fixed to prevent accidents when the car passes at high speed.
These measures are basically the same as the Monaco circuit in F1, and in a sense, Zhang Yifei can also be regarded as being able to experience some of the characteristics of the Monaco circuit in advance.
That night, Xie Tiancheng called Zhang Yifei and reminded him of the agreement on the previous test run.
It was almost early in the morning, Xie Tiancheng drove his Honda NSX and appeared in front of the hotel again.
"You're pretty punctual."
Zhang Yifei looked at Xie Tiancheng, who was leaning against the car door and smoking, and said with a smile.
"I advised you not to smoke before, if you want to become a top driver, you can't do it without physical fitness."
Any profession, if you want to be at the top of the pyramid, you must be more strict with yourself. As far as Zhang Yifei himself is concerned, he is currently not a smoker or drinker, and even goes to bars or parties, even in the face of ridicule and strange eyes from others, Zhang Yifei chooses non-alcoholic drinks as much as possible.
"I've smoked a lot less, but I can't quit. Besides, touring car racing doesn't have as much physical requirements as your formula races. ”
"I don't have the perseverance to quit smoking, it's not like Xie Tiancheng I know."
Hearing Zhang Yifei's words, Xie Tiancheng just smiled and didn't reply, maybe this also has something to do with the goals that everyone is pursuing.
After all, Zhang Yifei's highest goal has always been to become an F1 driver, and he is still the strongest one.
And Xie Tiancheng, when he was on Hong Kong Island before, he didn't plan to enter the professional circle so soon. was still stimulated by Zhang Yifei, so he went to Hong Kong Island to find Toshio Suzuki, and joined the ARTA team formed with Akuri Suzuki to compete in Japanese GT events.
Sitting on NSX, the two of them went to the Guia Circuit again, which was the first time Zhang Yifei felt the night view of Ao Island. Because of the gaming industry and service industry, the liveliness of Ao Island at night is more than that of Hong Kong Island, which really matches the three words "city that never sleeps".
However, it is true that there are many fewer pedestrians on the street than during the day, and because the Guia Circuit is surrounded by Guia Hill and the reservoir, it is relatively more remote and should be less crowded.
It seems that tonight, I can finally test run a Guia Circuit.
It's just that I think it's very beautiful, but the reality is not the same thing at all, when Xie Tiancheng drove Zhang Yifei to the previous starting point of the Guia Ocean, he saw that on both sides of the road, densely packed with people, and even dozens of sports cars of all kinds.
"Damn, there are too many people, how can you run?"
In the face of Zhang Yifei's complaints, Xie Tiancheng was obviously very accustomed to this kind of scene, he just said calmly: "I told you before that the area of Ao Island is too small, and it is difficult to find a suitable track to experience speed." ”
"So every year on the eve of the Grand Prix, the streets cleared with the help of the race factor have become a carnival of underground racing on Ao Island,"
"There are a lot of people, but there aren't many people running on the track, I believe that with your current strength, you shouldn't be afraid of these street riders, right?"
