Chapter 386 The Dark Horse

Different from traditional racing competitions, the WRC Rally Championship does not have the so-called "the first person to cross the line wins" competition rule, and the participating vehicles do not directly compete with each other.What they need to compete most is time, not the rest of the factors!

In order to ensure the fairness of the competition, the FIA ​​will install a dedicated timer for FIA on each participating car, and all the competition time will be synchronized to the console of the organizing committee.

In addition, similar to the Formula 1 competition, the FIA ​​will stipulate that the starting time of each driver is not the same according to the pole position of the contestants. The time between vehicles should be one to two minutes before starting.Therefore, generally speaking, if it is not because the drivers encounter unexpected situations such as breaking down on the road, it is difficult for the various WRC drivers to see each other's competitors on the race route.

Such competition rules can be said to be completely different from car races such as F1 and the 24 Hours of Le Mans. It is precisely because of the special competition rules of WRC that this event is also very entertaining and has won many fans. favorite.

The final score of the race is won by the vehicle that completes the race in the least amount of time.

Since it is the first time to participate in a WRC-related competition this year, Chen Hai is the last one to start the grid in this Spanish race, so Chen Hai needs to wait until all the players in the same group start before he can start the race.

Not only Chen Hai, Hu Yulou and the driver of the Mercedes-Benz team will all be the last ones to start in their groups.

At this moment, Chen Hai, who was wearing a special protective suit, was staring straight ahead, with his left hand on the steering wheel and his right hand on the shift lever. The dual exhaust pipes on the outside emit bursts of green smoke, as if warming up for the next gallop on the track.

The participating cars in front of him have already started one after another, and Chen Hai's attention has become more and more concentrated. With the successful launch of the penultimate car, Chen Hai, who represented the Mercedes-Benz Racing Team, pushed the shift lever with his right hand , and at the same time stepped on the accelerator suddenly, the car let out a roar, and then saw the BMW sprinting forward like a wild horse that had run away.

Whether it is the shouts of the audience or the huge roar of the engine, to Chen Hai at this time, everything is like nothingness. At this moment, there is only one thought in his mind, and that is to win today's game and tell everyone who looks down on him. My opponent: I am not as bad as they thought!
"Driving 100 meters, keep the left lane and turn right in second gear. The road is bumpy and the road narrows. Go to the hairpin bend and cross the ramp."

The navigator sitting on the seaside of Chen Hai was also concentrating on the road book at this time, giving Chen Hai accurate information on the road conditions to ensure that Chen Hai could complete the next race safely and effectively.

After Chen Hai's car was successfully launched, Zhou Feiming in the audience couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief. The next thing was out of his control, and everything could only depend on Chen Hai's personal performance.

The race in Spain is divided into three sections, and each section has 15 special sections, which are often called SS sections. These sections are all raced on closed and controlled sections. Between them, they are connected by the RS section.

The so-called RS road section actually refers to the ordinary road section. When driving on these road sections, all racing cars must follow the local traffic rules, and they must not speed or run through red lights.

Of course, in order to ensure the smooth progress of the race, there will be local traffic management departments responsible for maintaining order on each RS road section and preventing accidents on this road section.

In fact, not only on the RS section, but even on the SS section, the top speed of the car is limited. If the speed limit is exceeded, the driver will be punished accordingly.

At this very moment, the rear console of the organizing committee of the competition, the time and condition of each participating car were sent here synchronously.

"Sure enough, the top three drivers were taken over by the three giants. Guess, who will take the championship in Spain this time?" In front of the screen in front of the master console, this time York, the person in charge of the WRC Spain race, said to his companion Edel with a smile.

On the screen, the real-time race results were clearly displayed. The first place was undoubtedly Yuya Osako of the Benma Racing Team, followed by the Dafeng Racing Team and the Futong Racing Team.

The three giants, as always, swept the top three in their group, without any suspense.

Edel looked at the screen, then took off his glasses, "I can't tell, how long has it been since the start of the current game? These results don't mean anything, and we can only make a conclusion after the three-day game is over, but judging from the current state , Dasa Yuya is still the most promising one.”

"Yong Dazai is indeed the most promising driver to win the championship. His performance this season is really too stable." York also said with emotion, and then he suddenly lowered his voice and said, "This time Mercedes-Benz has also set up a team to compete. Now, tell me, will someone in their team create a miracle?"

Now, most people will not underestimate anything related to the Mercedes-Benz company, because this company has brought too many surprises to the world. Who can guarantee that the newly established Mercedes-Benz team will not create miracles? Woolen cloth?

"Flying Chi... I don't know much about his driver, but the participating cars are definitely good cars. Whether it's Audi or BMW, their performance will definitely not be inferior to those in the same group, but at least from the current performance. Look, this player named Chen Hai in the Mercedes-Benz team has no chance of winning the championship yet."

As he said that, Edel turned his gaze to the screen again. Looking down a little, he could see Chen Hai's real-time score at this time, ranking eighth in the same group.

But if you take a closer look, you will find that Chen Hai's performance is increasing at a speed visible to the naked eye, and he is only one step away from No.3 in the 6 groups.

…………

"Enter 4th gear for a long left curve, fly jump, drive 30 meters, keep the left line, the road widens and accelerate, even [-]rd gear makes a left bend, accelerate, maintain the middle lane, the road narrows, enter [-]st gear, speed up, and even [-]nd gear short Turn left!"

The competition has been going on for more than an hour, but Chen Hai didn't feel the slightest sense of fatigue. Instead, he became more and more courageous as he fought, and his whole body was full of strength. He only wanted to win now.

"After the next road section is over, we will be in our maintenance area. Do you want to go down to maintain the vehicle?" After reporting the road book, the navigator quickly asked.

Such a high-intensity competition is definitely a great test for all parts of the vehicle. If you are not careful, there will be accidents of car crashes and fatalities. In the history of WRC competitions, such situations are not uncommon at all.

"No need, keep driving." Chen Hai shook his head, he could feel that all the performance indicators of the whole car were normal.

"Are you sure? I missed this maintenance area, and the next one will take at least half an hour to meet." The navigator asked in surprise.

This is not a wise choice!

"Don't worry, I know what's in my heart, continue to report the road!" Chen Hai quickly shifted gears with his right hand, and the car crossed a slope in a leaping posture, leaving a graceful posture in the air.
