Riding a Kawasaki H2 to chase the high-speed rail, the school beauty was moved to tears
Chapter 1156 The car problem is more serious
In Aprilia's P-room, the deputy looked at his boss with a thoughtful expression.
At the start, their drivers were too far away from Peco and could only observe Peco's car from a distance. They did not notice anything because they were too far away, but based on the principle that the car was much faster in a straight line, they believed that it was very likely that Ducati upgraded the rear end of the vehicle.
After all, upgrading the front end won't make the car faster in a straight line.
They just don’t know where exactly the upgrade has been done at the moment, so they need to guess.
“Not necessarily. If it is the rear swingarm, then Ducati’s upgrade this time is too drastic and does not make sense. I think Ducati must have developed something new this time.”
"And this device is most likely inside the racing car."
The person in charge frowned and thought for a moment before denying his deputy's conclusion.
The deputy wanted to refute, but finally kept his mouth shut.
If the deputy knew what Ducati eventually developed, he would know why he was deputy.
The person in charge continued to frown and watched the replay of the game repeatedly.
Developing a racing car is very difficult, and the three most difficult parts are the engine, followed by the frame. The swingarm is a type of frame. The frame of any car manufacturer can be said to be their technical foundation.
Precisely because of the foundation, every step of improvement is extremely difficult. When Ducati gp23 came out in previous years, its performance was even worse than gp22 due to reverse upgrades.
Just looking at this point, you can know how difficult it is to develop and upgrade a racing car. Ducati has taken such a big step this time. It is precisely based on this point that he believes that this is definitely not a regular upgrade. It is very likely that Ducati has come up with some strange and weird thing again.
What it is, they don't know yet.
But the direction of the guess should be correct.
The same scene appeared in almost all the p-rooms in the enclosure.
.......
That night, Qin Chuan was not in a hurry to deal with the company's affairs, but silently worked hard for the Qin family's major events.
Nothing is better than continuing the family line.
The next morning, Qin Chuan walked out of the RV refreshed and did a few simple stretches at the door of the RV.
Then he went to room P as soon as possible.
The KTM engineer did not leave today. Although the development kit issue is very important, he still needs to stay here to observe for a day. It is estimated that Peco's strength will be stronger in today's race.
However, according to Pedrosa and Stoner's estimates, Qin Chuan may not lose.
In the main race, Peko's straight-line stability advantage will be magnified, and Qinchuan's tire advantage will also be magnified. Both of them will have more advantages the more laps they do.
It’s really hard to say who will win or lose by then.
Although the engineers did not go back, the development of the program has already begun, and ktm's efficiency is still quite high.
John spent the whole morning adjusting the vehicle. After half a year of training, Jiang Liuzi has become more mature. Although he still cannot touch the factory cars, he will come to observe and learn from every Qinchuan competition.
John adjusted very seriously. Although Qin Chuan had prepared for the worst in this competition, he still hoped that Qin Chuan could win.
This is the duty of a driver mechanic.
At 11 o'clock in the morning, the car started.
Thirty racing cars were pushed to the starting position as before, waiting to start.
The sun is shining brightly and the weather today is still sunny. The temperature is even four degrees higher than yesterday, which proves that today's tire wear will be more serious than yesterday.
This is good news for Qin Chuan.
In the commentary booth, Xiao Zhang and Wei Ran appeared early and began to explain today's departure situation.
"Today's starting order is the same as yesterday, with Qin Chuan still starting on pole and Martin in second, but everyone seems to be a little more enthusiastic today."
"A lot of people seem to be actively moving towards Peko."
Seeing that everyone in the audience was leaning towards the Ducati team today, trying to observe the changes in the racing cars, Wei Ran made a simple joke.
Ducati's defense was very strict today and no one was allowed to get close.
Only the starting drivers who were closer to Peko could still see some.
But today the Ducati racing cars were all tightly blocked by their staff, leaving not much vision and only a little bit of it could be seen.
“Today, the drivers’ tire choices were basically the same, with a front hard and rear hard tire ratio.”
"Today's weather temperature is as high as 29 degrees, four degrees higher than yesterday, and the track temperature is eight degrees higher, reaching an exaggerated figure of degrees."
“It’s almost the highest temperature in Malay history.”
Xiao Zhang quickly explained the driver's tire selection and the temperature conditions of the track to the audience.
The temperature in Malaysia basically remains between 26 and 31 degrees all year round. Today's temperature is not the highest, but it is definitely very hot. Xiao Zhang feels that he is sweating just sitting here.
Wei Ran on the side had already turned on the air conditioner.
Such hot weather is a big test for the drivers.
The track temperature is 67 degrees, which is enough to fry eggs on the track.
It is not uncommon for the temperature to reach 60 degrees on the track. There are many cases where the temperature of the asphalt road surface reaches 60 degrees under long-term high temperatures, but 67 degrees is definitely the highest temperature Xiao Zhang has seen this year. This temperature is a big test for the driver's tires.
The same goes for racing cars. When the track temperature is over 60 degrees, racing cars are also prone to various problems.
At the pole position, Jiang Yue was holding a mini fan in his hand to blow air for Qin Chuan. At this moment, Qin Chuan's face was covered with sweat. Despite the presence of a parasol, the temperature today was a bit too high, especially when he was wearing a heavy leather jacket.
The game has already started to get intense before it even started.
"Do you want to bring a few more fans?"
Jiang Yue looked around and saw that other drivers had switched to large fans. She asked with a distressed look on her face.
In today's weather, she was sweating even in her short-sleeved shirt and short skirt, and she could empathize with what Qin Chuan was feeling at the moment.
"It's okay, the game will start soon."
Qin Chuan patted Jiang Yue's hand and shook his head to indicate that he was fine. He was already used to high temperatures and could accept these and would not become dehydrated.
Although Qin Chuan refused, Jiang Yue still took another fan and placed it on Qin Chuan's fuel tank, facing Qin Chuan, and then took a neck-hanging air conditioner and put it on Qin Chuan, turning the cooling device to full power.
"You are really blessed."
Pedrosa on the side couldn't help but envy.
He is different from that old guy Stoner. He is not married yet. I really envy the scene of them showing their love.
Qin Chuan could only smile at this.
Time passed by minute by minute, and today's race made everyone feel the torture before it even started. Fans at the scene also complained that the weather was too hot. There were huge sun visors on the stands, but they were of little use in the face of the high temperature.
Those merchants selling fan peripherals are considered to have gotten a bargain at this moment.
In the middle, the time came to ten fifty, Qin Chuan pulled down the helmet lens, the on-site staff left, the race was ready to begin, and the warm-up lap started.
Qin Chuan released the clutch with his left hand, started the car and drove out of the starting point after the flag fell, leading the group of cars behind him to start the warm-up lap.
“The formation lap has officially begun. Today’s race is very wear-intensive for the tyres. Let’s wait and see how the drivers manage their tyres during the race.”
Xiao Zhang and Wei Ran adjusted their mood and quickly got into the state.
The drivers did not run very fast in the warm-up lap, it could even be said to be very slow. Today the drivers did not have a high demand for warm-up laps, on the contrary, saving tires was the main thing.
Even during the warm-up lap, everyone had already started saving tires.
"We can see that everyone chose their slowest running style in the formation lap. Everyone knows that there will not be too many fights in the early stage of today's race."
"In this case, the most important thing is to be conservative with the tires. Plus the temperature of this track, the tire temperature will not be a problem when the race starts."
Qin Chuan controlled the car steadily and occupied the front row position. Of course, no one would compete with him for the warm-up lap.
The car was speeding on the track, and Qin Chuan's body was flipping back and forth on the car, constantly entering and exiting corners, stepping on the accelerator, and slowing down.
Soon, the long warm-up lap ended, Qin Chuan controlled the car back to the starting point, turned on the starting device, and adjusted his state to prepare for the start.
"Drivers, please take your positions. There are still a quarter of an hour before the race starts in Malaysia."
"Okay, five red lights are on!"
"Lights out, game on!"
"Qin Chuan had a very good start, and Martin also performed very well. The three of them hardly changed their positions."
As Wei Ran's voice fell, the group of cars officially started. Today's start was still extremely shocking. Qin Chuan's car took the lead and firmly occupied the first position after the start. Martin was second and Peko was third. The three cars were launched at extremely high speed and then rushed towards Turn 1.
Surprisingly, there was no position change at the start of today. Even Qin Chuan showed super high speed today and had a good start.
"Turn 1, Qin Chuan is going in. OK, no problem. Stay steady when you come out of the turn. The group of cars is turning over on a large scale. Be careful here."
Coming out of Turn 16, Qin Chuan's body flipped quickly, and the RC turned into Turn along an extremely standard line. Coming out of Turn , the car body was pressed back, and the car entered Turn again.
Qin Chuan passed the first three corners steadily without any accidents. After coming out of turn 16, the RC quickly regained its upright position. Qin Chuan shrank his body behind the windshield. After a short straight-line acceleration, Qin Chuan arrived in front of turn .
Qin Chuan leaned out his upper body and slowed down on the outside of Turn 4, preparing to enter the turn.
The RC16 made a roar, and the car downshifted and slowed down to enter the corner.
This time, Qin Chuan did not choose to wait for a while when entering the corner, but directly controlled the car to rush into the corner, showing an extremely high speed.
"Here at Turn 4, Peco attacks Martin!"
"Inside, Wansha, is there anyone?"
"Yes, Peko passed."
Xiao Zhang's voice rang out. When Qin Chuan entered the corner, Peco behind him launched an attack on Martin. The attack was very decisive, and he almost launched the attack with the attitude that he had to pass.
Martin did not show a very strong defensive mentality, and Peko's car overtook him and moved directly to second place.
Martin didn't seem to have a very strong defensive stance today.
"Martin didn't seem to be in a hurry to defend Peko behind him. Just as I expected, everyone seemed to choose to protect the tire today."
Xiao Zhang couldn't help but speak when he saw that Martin didn't seem to have any intention of defending Peko.
There is nothing wrong with this. Today's game is about who saves more tires. Martin's tactic is probably to let Peko go and let him fight Qin Chuan.
After all, he watched the live broadcast of their fight yesterday. It was the same yesterday, so they might fight again today.
Coming out of Turn 4, the car goes downhill into Turn 5.
In the five or six consecutive S-turns, Qin Chuan maintained a very good speed, even very fast, leading the way, and the sound of the RC16 engine directly led to the head of the group of cars.
After coming out of Turn 6, Qin Chuan entered Turns 7 and 8. For these two turns, Qin Chuan chose very early braking points. Compared with others who were trying to protect their tires, Qin Chuan, who was leading the race, was only making full use of his tires at this moment.
The pace was high from the start of the race.
“Coming out of Turn 8, this way we’re entering Turn 9!”
"Qin Chuan is maintaining a very high speed, and Peko is still following. However, because of the overtaking, there is a slight gap between the two of them! I wonder if Peko can catch up with Qin Chuan who is accelerating at full speed at this moment."
Wei Ran stared at the track and had many doubts about whether Peko could catch up with Qin Chuan.
Qin Chuan ran so fast after the start. His tactics were very clear, which was to lead the cars behind him as far as possible.
The benefits of doing so were also visible to the naked eye in this game.
With the temperature so high, the advantage of slipstream in this race is no longer as great as the advantage of leading the windbreak.
In other words, whoever can stay in the lead in this game will have the greatest advantage.
Even from the middle of the race, drivers will no longer choose to follow the slipstream, because high temperatures will accelerate tire wear and also affect the car's failure rate.
That's right, in high temperature conditions like this, we don't just have to consider the tire problem. The most terrifying thing is the problem of the car. While considering the tire problem, we also have to consider the problem of the car.
While the GP factory car has extremely high speeds, it also needs to rely on very high heat dissipation. Under normal circumstances, there is no problem, but in extreme weather like this, if there is no air flow to cool the car, the probability of the car malfunctioning is also quite high.
Compared with the two, the advantage of wake turbulence is not worth mentioning.
Even because of the wake of the hot tires, the savings in tire energy are not as great as without wake.
Coming out of Turn 8, Qin Chuan's speed was pushed to the fastest, and he started to make low angles in just the first lap.
