Chapter 226: Racing Genius
Zhang Guan ushered in his first time lap. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
All racing sports are compared to speed, sprinting in track and field, and the same is true for racing, but the car has to run more than 50 laps in a race, and the so-called advantage is more like a little bit of accumulation.
"Whoosh!" Zhang Guan drove the car through the big straight in front of the main stand, quickly turned into Turn 1, and then accelerated towards Turn 2.
Silverstone has a lot of high-speed corners, including a series of high-speed corners from Turn 2 to Turn 6, which requires a lot of skill from the driver, when Schumacher broke his leg and broke his leg at Silverstone, he broke off the track and crashed into the guardrail.
Ross Brown had witnessed the moment when Schumacher broke his leg, so when Zhang Guan made his way through this series of consecutive tell-the-turn corners, Ross Brown couldn't help but tense up.
"Be careful!" Brown clenched his fists, he felt that Zhang Guan's speed was fast, so he was afraid that Zhang Guan would not be able to grasp the brakes and fly and have an accident.
Zhang Guan successfully passed these successive high-speed corners and then entered the next straight.
"The rhythm of this corner is great! It feels somewhat familiar...... In other words, Zhang Guan, a person who drove an F1 car for the first time, how could he master the rhythm of cornering so well? This kind of cornering is completely shown by the experienced veteran driver. Ross-Brown shook his head in confusion.
Turn 7 is a right-angled corner, Turns 8 to 10 are a big hairpin corner, and the two corners are not difficult, followed by high-speed turns 11 and 12.
Ross Brown can't see what's going on on the track, it's not a race, there's not so many camera shots on the track, and in fact, even in an official race, he rarely looks at the picture on the track, and the monitor in front of him is full of dense data, including engine data, tire data, driver operation data, through which he can make more accurate judgments.
However, at this time, the data in front of him surprised Ross Brown, not because the data is poor, but because the data is too perfect.
"The control of the throttle, the timing of the brakes, the rhythm of the shifts...... How can it be! How could there be such perfect data! How could this kind of data be made by a newcomer who was touching a Formula 1 car for the first time? Now he's done two-thirds of the way without any mistakes, and at this level, he can get a good result even in qualifying! How the hell did he do it? Ross Brown had an urge in his heart to get Zhang Guan off the car and ask him if he had ever been in a Formula 1 car from elsewhere before.
However, Ross Brown also knew that this was obviously impossible, and he could be sure that Zhang Guan was driving a Formula 1 car for the first time.
Formula 1 is unlike any other sporting competition. For example, basketball and football high jump and long jump, an athlete can practice by himself if he has nothing to do, spend dozens of dollars to buy a football, find an open space to play for a day, and find a sand pit to practice long jump at any time, so it is normal for a folk master to suddenly appear.
But Formula 1 is different, if you want to practice on your own, you have to have a car first!
There are just over 10 teams in Formula 1, and the sport is so transparent that even if one team has one more test driver, the other teams will know right away. And this thing is burning money, no team will be idle to lend a car worth three or four million dollars to others to practice, not to mention that practice also needs a special venue, the asphalt on the general racing track is not up to the standard of running Formula 1.
Therefore, it is impossible to say that Zhang Guan practiced running a Formula 1 car by himself in private. Even if Zhang Guan participates in other sports racing competitions, there will be traces on the news. Because of this, Ross Brown fell into shock.
"I don't know this data, I think Schumacher is running on it!" Ross Brown shook his head, what he saw had shattered his perception of the sport of motorsport. At this time, even if he saw it with his own eyes, he couldn't believe all this.
After the right-angled turn of Turn 14, followed by successive hairpin turns of Turn 15 and 16, Zhang Guan's corner was still smooth, and his use of the shoulder did not allow him to lose much time, and then he turned around the high-speed turn 17 and sprinted towards the final finish line.
The roar of the "......" engine flashed through Ross Brown's ears, and he knew that Zhang Guan had crossed the finish line.
"How's the grade?" Ross Brown turned to ask the assistant next to him, only to find the assistant staring at the monitor in surprise.
"What's the grade?" Ross Brown asked again, and the assistant woke up as if from a dream, pointing to the monitor and saying, "1:20.916......"
"What? 1:20.916? You are not mistaken! How could it be so fast? This car was on this track last year, and the qualifying time was more than 1 minute and 21 seconds! Ross Brown said with a look of surprise.
"That's right, it's 1:20.916." The assistant nodded, and then said: "I also think it's incredible, last year's time on this Silverstone circuit, Patton drove this car with a time of 1:21.631, Zhang Guan is faster than Patton!" ”
Ross Brown thought for a moment and said: "The British Grand Prix was held in July last year, and although we have made some improvements to the car in the following months, considering that this car uses the tuning that Barton is familiar with, it should not be possible for anyone else to drive it faster than Barton!" Did we add fuel to this car? ”
"According to your instructions, less than one-fifth of it was added, and we were worried that there would be an accident, so we deliberately added less fuel." The assistant continued.
"That's a light car, but even if it's a light car, it's not possible to be so fast! said that he ran on the track alone and would not be disturbed by other cars, but this car was Patton's racing car, and it was tuned according to Patton's familiar driving style. How could such a thing be! A rookie driving a first-time F1 car, faster than a professional driver with eight years of F1 experience? Coincidence! It must be a coincidence! Rose-Brown muttered to himself.
Zhang Guan is still speeding on the track, and he is becoming more and more familiar with the tuning of the two cars, and the reduction of fuel also makes him faster and faster.
On the second time lap, Zhang Guan again ran within 1 minute and 21 seconds.
"1 minute 20 seconds 899, Zhang Guan's speed is faster! So that's no coincidence! He can really drive this car into less than 1 minute and 21 seconds! It's the first time he's driving a Formula 1 car! Ross Brown took a deep breath, and it was so unreal that it felt like he was in a dream.
"Genius!"
Those two words flashed through Ross Brown's mind. He has been in Formula 1 for decades, has seen a lot of talents, and has tapped drivers like Schumacher, but today, Zhang Guan's performance makes Ross Brown feel that those talented drivers in the past seem so humble and not worth mentioning!
"I believe that after today, you will definitely hand over the new car to me with confidence!" Zhang Guan's words a few minutes ago resurfaced from Ross Brown's memory, and this is when Ross Brown finally knew that this was not just a joke.
"Looks like he's really going to hand over the new car!"
