The gp23 car crossed the finish line, and the eight-time champion's lap time on the leaderboard was refreshed again. This time the lap time was raised to a higher level, and he once again secured the pole position.

The horse fans who were originally nervous on the field breathed a sigh of relief at this moment.

But he was still worried. If Qin Chuan could threaten the Horse King once, there would obviously be a second time.

As if reflecting the fans' inner thoughts, at this moment, Wei Ran and Xiao Zhang once again reported Qin Chuan's new lap time.

"There are four minutes left in the game, and Qin Chuan's first section is red again! But this time there is no 0.1 difference, only a few milliseconds ahead! But these few milliseconds are quite valuable at the end of the game."

"Qin Chuan's car was already shaking a lot, but he was still pushing the limit."

The car turned over quickly along the continuous bends, Qin Chuan turned all the way uphill, the car came out of Turn 6, and then turned into Turn 7.

Judging from the position, Qin Chuan was more than one section ahead of the eight-time champion. This was the advantage of coming out early. Not only was there no one around, but also the new lap timetable of the horse king came out as soon as he crossed the finish line.

Although this is of no use, it can still give me some psychological pressure.

Exiting the turn, the rear wheel slipped, and Qin Chuan maneuvered the car into Turn 8 and then into Turn 9, and the car finally arrived at Turn 10.

I have now passed all the continuous turn-around bends, entered Turn 10 close to the center of the bend, and then quickly stepped on the throttle.

After passing the downhill high-speed corner, the group of cars came to the second straight line of the field, the bodies returned to their positions, and the RC16 accelerated at full speed.

Accelerating along the straight line after exiting Turn 10, Qin Chuan approached Turn 11. Under his helmet, his eyes were as deep as water. Facing the extreme speed of the factory car, he had no fear, only enthusiasm in his eyes.

"In the second section, Qin Chuan has another red section. The two sections added together are nearly 0.1 times faster than the horse king!"

Coming out of Turn 10 and ending the second section, Wei Ran reported Qin Chuan's speed again.

It’s almost midnight again!

In the stands, the fans once again gasped. To be honest, they felt that the current track record was already very fast.

I didn’t expect that the two of them could continue to improve.

And even now it can still increase at a frequency of 0.1, while in the past the final qualifying rounds would only increase by a few milliseconds.

"In the third section, Qin Chuan hit a yellow, his fastest time. Now his speed is 0.114 faster than Ma Wang's lap time!"

“At this speed, I am still confident that I can challenge for the pole position. We are entering the fourth sector and will soon cross the finish line!”

After coming out of Turn 15, Qin Chuan flipped over and quickly turned into the super large U-shaped turn consisting of three corners: 16, 17 and 18.

A sharp braking sound was heard, the car body shook violently, and the car braked hard into Turn 16.

At this moment, Qin Chuan's car body has reached its limit. Qin Chuan has a hunch that this may very well be his strongest lap. If the lap speed in this lap is not enough to maintain the pole position, he will have no other choice.

At Turn 19, the harsh sound of brakes reached the eardrums again. After a few roars, the car steadily entered Turn 19, and then was thrown to the outside line out of the turn. Qin Chuan stretched his legs to enter the last turn.

"Here we come out of the 20th turn and cross the finish line. How's Qin Chuan's lap time?"

"2 minute 02 seconds 473!"

"It's nearly 2 faster than the 02:598 that the horse king ran in the previous lap! Qin Chuan is now at the top of the list."

“This time the lap record in the US Grand Prix has been pushed to a whole new level!”

On the field, after Qin Chuan's lap time came out, the Chinese fans were excited again, and the fans of Ma Wang were silent again. The smooth passing of the last section broke their last fantasy of Qin Chuan's red in the first three sections.

I couldn't help but have a thought in my mind: Wouldn't this kid make mistakes?

In the Gresini P-room, the expression of the person in charge has become completely gloomy at this moment. He knows that Qin Chuan is very strong, especially in the main race. In addition to his super high completion rate, another point is his robot-like stability. He can maintain the same lap speed or even improve it in every lap.

Even if Lorenzo came, he might not be Qin Chuan's opponent.

In other words, compared to Lorenzo, who is called a robot, Qin Chuan is more like a robot.

If this guy can win more than three GP titles in the next few years, then maybe the name of the robot will change.

(Note: Lorenzo won five championships, but only three were in the highest category, leaving two in the lower category.)

Qin Chuan's skill is also the biggest trump card that affects this qualifying match.

Because he rarely makes mistakes and can get faster with each lap.

On the contrary, the Horse King is not doing well. Just now, the eight-time champion made a mistake in the third sector. Theoretically, he has given up on this lap and will not have an outstanding lap time. Their chance only comes in the last lap.

“There is only a little over a minute left in the race, and the remaining time is only enough for most drivers to complete a lap.”

In the commentary booth, Wei Ran talked about the remaining time of the qualifying round.

Judging from the current time, most drivers can only complete one lap.

The rule of GP is that after the qualifying clock is stopped, if you have already started this lap, then you can finish it. If you have not crossed the finish line before stopping the clock, it means that you do not have the last lap, and when the lap is over you will not have the result of the next lap.

At this moment, Qin Chuan and Ma Wang were both people who would stop the watch after finishing a lap, and neither of them had the chance to run the next lap.

This one lap alone will determine who will take the pole position for this US Grand Prix, and Qin Chuan was unsurprisingly fast in this lap.

Of course, the same goes for the eight-time champion. After the mistake in the previous lap, the eight-time champion fought even harder this time.

Ma Wang almost made his GP23 feel like a GP24.

The speed of this lap was obviously improved significantly. The first section alone was 0.1% faster than the record just set by Qin Chuan.

The eight-time champion is quite daring.

In the KTMp room, everyone was staring at the screen nervously at this moment. As one of the two major rival camps vying for pole position, it would be a lie to say they were not nervous.

On the big screen, the first thing played was the perspective of the eight-time champion, occupying the entire screen. Qin Chuan himself opened a small window on the side of the ranking list.

The window shows Qin Chuan's perspective from the back seat of the car, which is a bit funny to be honest.

The angle of view from the back seat of a GP car is generally the driver's buttocks, and the position is behind the driver's seat, on the second seat of a commercial car.

There is a miniature camera here, facing forward.

Although this scene is a bit funny, it is a blessing for some ordinary professional drivers.

This camera can clearly see up close every body movement of the GP driver when cornering, when to move the body, how to control the car when braking hard, this camera can capture most of it.

If you want to learn more advanced moves, this shot is one of the best teaching materials for ordinary drivers.

There is almost no skimping on the technical aspects of this paddock, and it is all there for the average person to see.

Including helmets used by drivers.

It is no exaggeration to say that all the new features on commercially available cars are tested out by these world-class drivers. The same goes for helmets. There is a saying in the paddock that the co-branded helmets bought by ordinary people are almost all tested out by these drivers at the cost of their lives.

As for the helmet, apart from the customized face shape, the material is to some extent no different from what GP drivers wear.

It doesn't matter if Qin Chuan uses a small camera. After all, the person chasing him now is the eight-time champion. The pursuer is usually the one who receives the most attention, so the camera will naturally be given to the latter.

For example, when the horse king lap time ranked first in the last lap, the camera was also given to Qin Chuan.

"Qin Chuan has reached the third section. His speed seems to have reached saturation. The first three sections were only a few milliseconds faster, which makes it almost impossible for him to improve his performance further."

The roar of the racing car continued through every bend. When passing Turn 16, Qin Chuan's first three speeds had already been achieved.

There were no mistakes and Qin Chuan's heart rate was very stable, fluctuating around 125, but Qin Chuan's lap speed did not increase significantly.

There seem to be signs of saturation.

In the KTMp room, looking at Qin Chuan who was about to cross the finish line, Pedrosa and Stoner seemed to have calmed down a lot.

This made the ordinary staff around a little puzzled, as they were very nervous now.

"Let's just leave it to fate. I don't think the probability is high."

Pedrosa sighed slowly, still seeming a little worried.

Stoner, who was standing aside, was much more relaxed, and the tense atmosphere was obviously no longer there. Seeing him like this, he couldn't help but speak.

"Stay calm, we have done everything we can. This shows that this eight-time champion is not absolutely invincible in the United States. Even if he loses in qualifying, he still has a chance in the finals."

Stoner was nervous before because it was indeed very difficult for Qin Chuan to win the main race. As someone who knew the eight-time champion well, he knew very well that it was difficult and Qin Chuan had not shown the strength to win.

But now, it is obvious that Qin Chuan already has the strength to win. The lap time difference is so small. With Qin Chuan's driving style, he definitely has a chance in the main race and sprint race. In this case, it doesn't matter if he loses slightly in qualifying.

Hearing this, Pedrosa nodded and said nothing more, but it was obvious that he was still a little nervous.
