  Chapter 343 Alternative Enthusiasm

   (the second time agreed)

  …

  The wonderful performance of the No. 2 car captured everyone's attention.

Both the driver and the car are very fierce, and they are obviously using their excellent mid-to-front acceleration performance to win a good position. Even the brothers in the same class are not let go-seeing that he is about to run parallel with the second-placed Cooper, and finally at a high-speed corner Daoqian still slowed down.

  The audience was slightly disappointed, but the GP team leader breathed a sigh of relief.

   According to An Feng's character of rushing and overtaking, the front corner must be controlled poorly, and the car behind who seized the opportunity will definitely find time to overtake. Car racing is different from running laps alone, and more skills need to be considered. An Feng did not act recklessly in the end.

The corners in the first half of the lap are relatively dense, and An Feng can maintain his advantage very well. In the second half of the high-speed section, his car tuning pays more attention to the acceleration of 0-200, and some spare power is insufficient in the future, while others The car, which pays attention to the adjustment of the rear stage, has also begun to exert its strength.

   In the end, it was very difficult to maintain the third position.

  The first and second have been reversed, and the performance of the Chevrolet driver was unstable, perhaps because he did not switch from the small horsepower of WTCC to the current high horsepower rhythm of more than 700 horsepower, and was overtaken by Cooper in the second half. An Feng closely followed the Chevrolet racing car, also looking for opportunities, and Ford behind him was also eyeing.

This competition is very intense. Due to the different tuning of the racing cars and the switching of the motor, overtaking will be very frequent. At the same time, the intense speed will also put a lot of pressure on the drivers. The acceleration can reach 3G.

  This means that the standard of the car is closer to F1, and it is a huge test for the car body structure and chassis. On the other hand, the Maserati GT model performed well, thanks to the original design, and the electric motor technology and carbon fiber lightweight are also a major highlight.

The fierce car race continued, and An Feng, who had entered the state, found the familiar feeling. The experience of hundreds of drag racing on the track played a role. Through the analysis of his head, he reproduced the feeling of every corner and every straight road. And transform into your best form.

  Hard driving has made him invincible, and now the only test is overtaking skills.

  It’s useless for you to run fast, you won’t overtake, and if you can’t grasp the timing, you will also be suppressed all the way. It is unrealistic to ask the racetrack to help wave the blue flag (the blue flag means to give way to the car behind). An Feng needs to seize the opportunity just right, he can't fail to overtake, and is overtaken by the car behind instead, the gain outweighs the loss.

After 20 laps, the ranking kept changing. An Feng once won the second place by releasing his kinetic energy, stepping on Chevrolet, but was overtaken by Ford in the high-speed section, and then Chevrolet staged revenge, and he fell behind to fourth. Try hard to get back, after several changes, it is currently the third.

   The second place is Ford's driver, and the first place is still the stable Cooper. The GP team is expected to win the championship.

   At the end of the twentieth lap, Anfeng racing car still had 5% of its electric energy left, and the tires were excessively worn, so it was necessary to enter the pit stop. The team was ready, he left the track, pressed the electronic speed limit button of the pit stop, and the speed of the car was forcibly reduced to the 80 kilometers per hour required for entering the pit stop.

  The car came to the pit stop of the GP team and stopped. The brake disc of the front wheel of the car was burned red due to frequent sudden braking.

  An Feng can also accumulate a little energy for KERS by doing this, and use it to overtake in the future.

  The maintenance team started from front to back, raised the racing car with a jack, and the nuts of the racing tires were unscrewed by electric screws, and the tire changing team followed up. At the same time, the front hood of the car was opened, and the team members skillfully used electric screws to loosen the battery block and install two new batteries.

After the battery was installed, the slick tires were also installed, the nuts were screwed on, the maintenance team member holding a sign gave the order for everyone to evacuate, the last screw was screwed on, the sign went up, and An Feng, who had just taken a breath, stepped on the switch, The car races out and joins the race. The whole process takes 9 seconds.

   There are fifteen laps left in the race schedule, and the tires and batteries are sufficient. He can use his racing skills with confidence and keep the top three position. Pit pits were carried out one after another, and the ranking changed again. An Feng was sixth this time, but the car in front was actually tenth because he did not enter the pit pits.

An Feng took some time to overtake, completed the twenty-first lap, and after three more laps, all the vehicles had completed the maintenance and replacement work, and the ranking would return to normal. The first place was Ford, the second was Cooper, and the third was An Feng, Red Bull followed closely behind him, and Chevrolet once became fifth.

After so many laps in a row, every time he accelerates, decelerates or turns, he has to bear an acceleration of more than 2G. The average speed of the whole process is maintained at about 230 kilometers per hour, and he can reach a maximum of 350 kilometers per hour on high-speed sections. It is a huge challenge for both physical fitness and eyes. The spirit is tense all the time.

A car with a higher G value has higher demands on the driver's body. An Feng feels uncomfortable, but the discomfort will appear on every driver. The body feels oppressed, and they have to be pressed on the seat when accelerating. When decelerating, the head is about to hit the steering wheel, and the body is pulled from side to side when cornering... Repeat a dozen twists in one lap, and hundreds of times in ten laps. After the whole race, coupled with the hot racing suit, dehydration is very common.

  In the second half of the race schedule, the performance is more focused on the overall quality of the driver. At this time, staying awake and in good condition is of great help to the car. According to statistics, the average lap time in the first half will be slightly faster than in the second half, because everyone is tired and showing fatigue.

   Only the competition for the top five has become more intense.

This is a competition of top professional drivers. An Feng dealt with it patiently. If he hadn't been familiar with the track a hundred times, it would have been difficult for him to adapt to frequent overtaking and being overtaken. For a while, he was even about to leave the top five. , but refocused for the last ten laps.

   As a last resort, he can only rely on the machine brain.

After so many years of strengthening, the machine brain is now very good, helping him complete complex calculations and judgments, using every line and advantage, and continuing to bring wonderful overtaking and chasing to the audience... Finally, in the last lap, he held took the third place, and once again staged the corner overtaking technology as accurate as a computer, successfully used KERS, and left Chevrolet behind.

  KERS accumulates energy through every braking. There are not many opportunities, so it must be used at the best time.

  An Feng made good use of the opportunity, and this advantage lasted until the waving black and white checkered flag!

   The first place is Cooper, several parking spaces ahead of Anfeng.

  Chevrolet crossed the line almost side by side with An Feng, but the slowed-down footage showed that An Feng's racing car had about one more tire, which could be distinguished even with the naked eye, the second and second car! He was the most eye-catching driver throughout the race, competing for second, third and fourth worst riders.

   There was a sound of "aircraft engine" breaking through 300, and the cars rushed across the key line. The top ten in this race are all relatively strong in technology, and the top five are duels between top drivers. The most exciting thing is the competition between them. Different performance adjustments make the overtaking dazzling.

  The supporters in the auditorium stood up and cheered, electric car racing can be so exciting.

Especially An Feng's relatives and friends, they know that An Feng likes racing cars, and his museum alone can tell a thing or two, but they didn't expect his skills to be so superb. Everyone thought it would be good to stay in the top ten, so he directly took A runner-up blinded everyone.

  Wang Le stared wide-eyed: "Damn! The top five are all top drivers, this guy is going against the sky!"

  Roger was also full of admiration: "It's the first time I've seen a rich car fan do this."

After An Feng finished the race, he had no time to celebrate. He first drove the car to the inspection area for weighing, and then got out of the car. The members of the GP team were waiting for them. Howard was already smiling and ran over to give the two drivers a high-five: "Do Well done! Nice first show!"

  An Feng took off his helmet and mask, his face covered in sweat.

Teammates rushed to bring water up. The dehydration in a race was at least about two kilograms, and the excess was three to four kilograms. In addition to the hot environment in the car, the drivers were still wearing sealed fireproof racing suits. The dehydration was serious. The water vest can only solve the urgent need.

  Joyful Duke walked in: "Champions and runners-up! Now please follow us to the podium to receive the honor!"

An Feng and Cooper were taken to the podium by the field staff, surrounded by audiences and TV reporters. For the first electric car competition, the combination of freshness and strangeness caused an unexpected excitement, almost All the way was captured by the camera.

  Joanna and An Feng's relatives and friends have VIP privileges, and they also came to watch the scene.

An Feng waved to the friends in the crowd, and before he could speak, he was sent to the podium. He was naturally smiling. As a car fan, his previous wish was to have a supercar, and what was even more important was to have a racing driver's license to drive. In racing, the ultimate dream is to get a place in an official race.

Now it has been achieved. Although he is not a champion, what he needs is a feeling. He is not a professional driver. If Cooper is so hardworking and talented, he can’t win the championship. The world would be too cruel...With messy thoughts, An Feng caught the trophy and held it up high.

The top three started to cheer with trophies, and then served champagne, opened champagne and fought with everyone... The drivers who were in a mess went back to their respective maintenance areas, and reported the good and bad aspects of the race to the team engineers while the feeling was still there. Ready to improve next time or something.

   There was another press release afterwards, but An Feng was not involved, and Cooper was in the GP team.

An Feng took a bottle of high-end drink brought by Joanna, took a few sips, recovered a lot, returned to the living area of ​​the team, took a shower, changed into a suit of clothes and came out to celebrate with everyone. We're going to have a lively party tonight!

  The journalists at the scene were already busy, interviewing the team, the drivers, and the audience.

  The interviews with the teams and drivers are similar to usual, while the interviews with the audience are mainly about the experience of watching the race.

  Electric car racing is still very new. Although FE (Formula Electric) races existed a few years ago, this is the first time I have seen a touring car race, and the performance is very strong. The audience watching the race was divided into two factions. One thought that the electric car race lost the sound of the gasoline engine and became boring.

   But I am more interested in the sound of the aircraft engine sound of the electric car speeding past.

  One of them said: "This sound is cool, it belongs to the sound of the future!"

This sentence has been reproduced by many media, and has become the core point of view of the new batch of electric racing fans. Although the roar of up to 130 decibels is gone, under the wonderful transformation of Maserati, the sound of the electric motor has been raised to 100 decibels, expanding the The sound of an airplane engine.

   There are gains and losses. According to statistics after watching the game, 70% of the audience expressed their preference for this clean energy event.

   This has inadvertently formed an alternative enthusiasm.

Belonging to the enthusiasm for more cutting-edge technology and the future, especially young people, this narrow and long sound is also good, at least not as bad as traditional electric cars, running past you without a sound, and you don’t feel it at all... In the end The race has drawn more attention.

   Amoeba and Maserati also succeeded.
