MTL - Mixed In the United States As a Local Tyrant-Chapter 345 wonderful comeback
Chapter 345 Wonderful Comeback
Part of the interview with the GP team after the race was for An Feng.
In addition to Cooper, who has a strong halo, An Feng's performance is also very optimistic. This loss is not due to technical weakness, but a strategic error. Anyone with a discerning eye knows that as long as the team adjusts, the excitement will return. But An Feng was very mysterious, and the team did not arrange any news interview activities about him.
An Feng didn't intend to remain mysterious. He just didn't like to face the camera and questioned by reporters. Moreover, in a white-supremacist country like the United States, the main characters that the news media most hoped to appear were white people. Why would he join in the fun as a minority? It is this low-key mentality that makes him mysterious.
If you were any other driver, you would certainly not be able to disobey the team's arrangements, at least you would have to show up in front of the public, even if you stand for a minute and say a few words, but An Feng is the boss, no matter whether it is the race or the team, no one dares to make arrangements for him . He kept a low profile, and the team took care of him properly.
The so-called extremes must be reversed, but the mystery has attracted more people's attention.
There are a lot of people discussing him in the competition forum, and only a few photos were posted. Someone recognized him as the husband of the owner of Liverpool, a rich man, but now he comes to play racing? It's really strange, rich people usually protect their own lives very well, I didn't expect to have such a passionate side.
This has left a deep impression on car fans. If you are a driver who loves cars since childhood, has outstanding driving skills, and finally got on this road, there is nothing to say. There are too many examples in reality. But a rich man who lacks everything, but comes to play motorsports, this contrast will arouse curiosity.
Whether in the United States or in Europe, when discussing the No. 2 driver in Las Vegas, he mentioned a few words about his status as a billionaire. A beautiful photo of my wife, a valuable report just came out.
Since the listing of GP Energy, An Feng's net worth has also been rising. It is currently estimated to be more than 12 billion U.S. dollars. Public data shows that he holds shares in GP, not GP Energy. Not weak GP electronics, so the assets doubled.
The asset issue that has been controversial for a while has been settled, and the Liverpool fans are very satisfied. No wonder the proprietress dared to spend a lot of money, and it is no wonder that she has not shown up recently. To say that in addition to football in Europe, racing is also a popular sport.
Then some car fans began to pay attention to An Feng.
When the event was broadcast globally, they also saw An Feng's outstanding performance in the car.
No matter what else, this technology is really not bad.
So before the start of the third round, An Feng’s popularity was rising, and the popularity of the MC Challenge was also rising. The team airlifted the car to Texas, and An Feng still stayed in California for vacation. Practicing on the road, a bit... the feeling of hanging silk doomed to be alone for a lifetime.
No matter what Joanna did not allow, she asked An Feng to have a full rest, she asked the housekeeper to find a masseur to give him a massage and recuperation, and asked the chef to formulate a balanced meal, and she also got a reminder from the Internet that a few days before the game, he was required to For abstinence, one must maintain vigorous energy and state.
An Feng understood: "Just let me finish the game with a simmering fire, and then put you to bed?"
Joanna hit him: "Nonsense!"
…
An Feng only came to Austin on Friday.
Before that, other drivers trained more or less for a day or two, but he was late... Austin is a permanent F1 track with long straights, high-speed corners and sharp corners. The 300-kilometer racing car goes uphill and downhill, and the center of gravity changes frequently.
An Feng drove a few laps. Originally, the acceleration of two or three Gs was intense enough, but when he went downhill at a high speed, it felt more violent than riding a roller coaster. It is said that the roller coaster is only about 3 Gs, but it is all-round, and the racing car is only affected by it. The acceleration in the horizontal direction feels weaker than the three-dimensional one.
An Feng felt that after getting used to this acceleration, he would be able to doze off after riding the roller coaster.
The racing car has gone through several rounds of testing and debugging. This time, the focus is on the adjustment of the suspension system. The purpose is to increase the downforce and replace the brake system. The brake wear on this track is moderate. The motor of the racing car is not adjusted, the reason is naturally the traditional track, which is just right now.
After the warm-up of the practice session on Saturday, qualifying will be held on Sunday morning. This time in Austin, Anfeng's fan base is even stronger, because the headquarters of GP company is in Austin, which is regarded as the second home of the GP team! Although I don't necessarily understand racing, it's the weekend, so I came here without going to work.
GP company also bought more than 3,000 tickets and gave them away to employees for free.
There were more than 50,000 spectators in the qualifying match alone, and more than 70,000 spectators in the afternoon race.
The scale of 70,000 people has reached the level of IndyCar or F1. But there is also a reason why the ticket fee is much cheaper than other events, small profits but quick turnover...what the hell! Thousands of GP teams shouted at the scene. An Feng lived up to expectations, and this time he was the second fastest in a single lap in qualifying.
The main race started under the high expectations, the camera swept across the auditorium, the flags of the GP team were flying everywhere, including enthusiastic fans and employees of the GP company. wrong. After the brewing of the first two events, the atmosphere is very warm.
An Feng said hello to the racing MM and got on the car to get ready.
After a warm-up lap, the five lights went out, all the cars started, and the battle resumed.
The Austin track is very challenging. After starting for a short straight, there is an emergency hairpin turn immediately, and it is still climbing. It can make the speed of the car drop from 300 to 100, and withstand an acceleration of at least 2.5G. Then ushered in a high-speed downhill, and the speed returned to more than 300.
The first corner was very exciting. An Feng followed closely behind Cooper, and Chevrolet followed behind him. Drivers are a huge test of endurance.
Following a hairpin turn, it enters a state of high-speed dashing, then ushers in a series of tortured hairpin turns, and finally a sharp turn from high speed to low speed. Here it is best to switch to a single motor to play rear drive. It is not easy to run a lap, and only Formula One can handle it relatively freely, and the RV is a bit difficult.
Even during the race, there was an accident of burning the motor. The motor of the front car burned out, and the rear car hit the rear, and the yellow flag immediately lit up on the field.
The engineers of the team took advantage of the time when the yellow flag could not overtake, and provided the drivers with strategies.
The performance of the racing car is too fierce. There is a reason in the formula that you dare not press the accelerator all the time for fear of blowing the cylinder. The racing car must also be careful to burn the motor. Braking and accelerating too frequently will also cause a tire blowout. According to statistics, on average, every time a tire is replaced, there are signs of peeling and damage.
But the difficulty is for everyone. Although An Feng's performance was not as exaggerated as in the first round, the complicated corners still allowed him to give full play to his strength. If one uses a computer to draw, one will find that the braking and driving lines are so precise that it almost looks like a computer!
Finally, An Feng lived up to expectations and won the runner-up with a slight gap behind the first place.
The first place is Cooper, he has also adjusted from the unfavorable environment of the last car tuning, but An Feng is not jealous of him winning the first place. When An Feng was on vacation for three days, he was training hard. When An Feng went back to rest in twos and twos, he was still summing up his experience.
After the race, An Feng stood on the podium again. After the end, he was as low-key as ever.
All the curious reporters did not get any interview or response from him. In the interview with the GP team after the award ceremony, Cooper was present, and the second driver Ann was still missing. The team explained that the driver was busy with work and could not get out. free. The reasons for the explanation are far-fetched.
After the third race was broadcast in Europe and America, the enthusiasm for this electric car race has been ignited.
When the racing car was running at high speed, the sharp and slender sound of the plane had been printed in the ears of the audience, and the audience in front of the TV could feel the charm of the unique sound. Afterwards, a professional analyzed that the motor should have adopted a loudspeaker device. Otherwise the sound would not be so strong.
But as long as the game is good enough and the sound thrills the audience, who cares?
The fourth race is also under intense preparation. Since Austin is a bit far away from Indianapolis, Maserati airlifted the car by civilian transport plane, which increased the cost, but compared to the popular race, the speed and status of the team are advertising. It's money!
…
The game also moved to Indiana on time.
When the drivers are getting familiar with the track and practicing, An Feng is still in Texas for vacation and recuperation, and his wife is in good condition, finally unable to resist the temptation of the colorful world, and go to a love hotel together to enjoy the romantic theme and After rolling the sheets, it took two days to reappear.
An Feng felt a bit worse than normal.
Just like his talent and excellent memory, An Feng only practiced on Saturdays, and quickly formed an impression and feeling of the track. Feeling is particularly important, and drivers need to adapt repeatedly to grasp it, while An Feng only needs to store it in his mind and play it back when the time comes.
In the team strategy meeting, the engineer asked Cooper to continue to be the first, while An Feng was to compete for the first.
This may sound contradictory, but there are data to support it—Anfeng crossed the line a few parking spaces away from Cooper at the first stop, and crossed the line at the third stop closer to Cooper. There are also practice matches and some data from qualifying matches. An Feng is improving at a frightening speed.
It can be seen from the fact that he still won the runner-up after leaving the home court.
The game also attracted more than 60,000 spectators.
Indianapolis has held many F1 sessions. Anfeng feels like a miracle. With its modified elliptical track, it abruptly joins the traditional permanent track, and then leaves about 45% of the elliptical residual area... To be honest, it is also the same as Las Vegas is not much different.
It's just that there are more ellipses in Las Vegas and less here.
His car has also been replaced with two electric motors for adjustment of the middle and rear sections. This time, everyone no longer has to worry about the speed of the rear section being unable to increase... An Feng did not disappoint in qualifying and won third place. Before the start of the race, it is customary for him to have his own fans wave the flag of the GP team for him.
An Feng was standing in the starting area, with cameras facing him, and the big screen showing his figure. Fans in the auditorium stood up and waved the flag. It is said that the flag was customized by Wang Le, and the team uniform... Last time he said I have become a fan of An Feng, this rhythm is really similar.
After some preparations, the drivers went into battle, and the rest of the team left the starting area one after another, and the atmosphere of the competition came.
The signal lights go out and the race officially begins.
The track is easier than Austin's. The fly in the ointment is that the high-speed track has no buffer zone and is prone to car accidents... Its name for car accidents puts pressure on many drivers. They seemed a little cautious in the first few laps, but after An Feng overtook them neatly, Others couldn't hold back either.
Limited by the ellipse, the track has 13 corners, and there are fewer high-speed corners, but the straights will be fast.
After running a lap, An Feng used KERS at the last high-speed corner, reaching a speed of 310 per hour, followed by a one-kilometer straight. An Feng didn't know how fast the others were, anyway, his racing screen had exploded! It just stopped at 362, and its eyes developed tunnel vision.
When the car is driving at high speed, people's field of vision will be narrowed. Generally, drivers will not be able to adapt after breaking through 300, and can't see things clearly. Driving basically relies on feeling. Racers can overcome it through training. An Feng has good physique and strong adaptability. As a professional driver, he adapts to around 330.
But the current speed is a bit scary, the motor power explodes, his field of vision narrows, and he can't see the things around him clearly. It lasts for a short time, and he starts to release the switch in an instant, and brakes with his left foot at the same time. It is commendable that the elliptical corner is inclined, which provides downforce for high-speed cornering.
Even high-speed racing cars can pass smoothly.
This track is also the fastest sprint in the five races. Those who did not use KERS all had 330. After more than a dozen laps, the audience reaped great excitement, and the racers also enjoyed the fun of letting go of their speed. After entering the traditional track, it became a fierce section of competition for rankings, and An Feng's performance lived up to expectations.
Passing Echigo several times, Anfeng failed to complete the winning overtaking staged by An Feng. The car crossed the line with Cooper side by side, but still left a gap.
The champion is still Cooper. In terms of driver level, some people say that DTM is for training players for F1, and as F1 is the top race, the strength of its drivers should not be underestimated. As for An Feng, that is also strength, the combination of cheating and talent, won the second place again.
It just feels a bit like the second child in a thousand years. An Feng is considering whether to discuss with Cooper, and I will also get the first place at the terminal... But just think about it, racers are born for honor, and cheating is looked down upon. Finally on the podium, continue to fight champagne with drivers and spectators.
Pay less attention to An Feng this time.
Because after the end of the fourth race, the overall champion has been established. According to the points, Cooper has won three times and one runner-up. Even if he is absent from the last game, he is also the total points champion. I'm busy interviewing him and the GP team.
The championship is settled, and the runner-up and third place are still in suspense.
The candidate is between An Feng and the Chevrolet driver. Their points gap is not big. The ranking in the last race is very important. If An Feng wins the second place, he will be the runner-up. If the Chevrolet driver wins the second place, the runner-up trophy About to leave An Feng, he can only be the third child.
The last stop is especially critical.
