Riding a Kawasaki H2 to chase the high-speed rail, the school beauty was moved to tears
Chapter 822 Swingarm Problem
After exiting Turn 6, Qin Chuan's pace did not slow down at all, and he even accelerated.
"At Turn 9, Qin Chuan's brakes are still very fast. Turning into Turn 10, the lap time chart for the third section is out! Qin Shen is now eighth in the whole field."
“If Qin Chuan doesn’t lose his rhythm in the last section of this lap, his final lap time will definitely be in the top ten!”
In the commentary booth, Xiao Zhang made a bold estimate of Qin Chuan's lap time for this lap.
Qin Chuan was very fast in the first few sections of this lap and remained in the top ten.
Just as he finished speaking, Qin Chuan had arrived at turn eleven, with only two corners left in the race.
"Qin Chuan's car came out of the thirteenth turn. The race came to the finish line. Qin Chuan's lap time came out!"
“Eighth overall, the lap time is already behind Pentax! This gap is huge!”
"In just one lap, Qin Chuan's lap time improved by nearly twenty places!"
As the sound of the engine passed the finish line, Qin Chuan's lap time appeared on the list, ranking eighth, just slightly slower than Pentax.
After only one lap of adaptation, the final lap time was just a little slower than that of the Pentax. Fans from other countries looked at each other in the audience. They finally understood why Qin Chuan was the leader of KTM, the absolute number one driver.
This speed of adaptation is too terrifying. Is this a newcomer? I'm afraid even the veterans can't do it.
"Oh my god, who said that the first round of training was a joke? That doesn't seem like it, brother. Qin Shen actually made it to eighth place in the second round."
"Just wait. I think Qin Shen can at least be in the top five after practicing. He's too strong."
"It's still our Qin Shen. If he rides on the gp24, he will be invincible."
"..."
Amid the discussions of the fans, Qin Chuan had already started his third lap. At the same time, there was a gap between him and Pedrosa in front of him.
Pedrosa's task today is not just to help Qin Chuan adapt to the track, his main task is to prepare for the upgrade in the middle of the season.
He needs to collect enough data here, and these data must be collected by him with all his strength. The data collected by running slowly is meaningless.
Furthermore, he has confidence in Qin Chuan, and his absence will not affect Qin Chuan's performance on this track at all.
"On the third lap, Qin Chuan came in sixth and Pentax was squeezed to seventh. He surpassed Pentax's lap time in just three laps. His adaptability is simply terrifying!"
"Qin Chuan surpassed Pentax and came sixth on the list!"
When exiting the last turn, Qin Chuan's front wheel left the ground, his body was twisted, and the car accelerated rapidly across the finish line. At the same time, the lap time list was officially refreshed, and Qin Chuan came to the sixth place in the first practice ranking list.
Three laps wiped out the Pentax that had been racing here for many years.
"It has reached its limit. The next improvement will not be so fast."
In the Ducati P room, the Ducati person in charge was amazed when he saw Qin Chuan's speed improvement, but soon he couldn't help but said.
The improvement is very fast in the early stage, but it will take gradual improvement in the later stage. Qin Chuan's improvement speed will slow down a bit, but according to his estimation, it will not be difficult to catch up with the first group.
"On the fourth lap, Qin Chuan's lap time was still maintained at sixth. Qin Chuan seemed to have some minor problems in this lap and needed to make some adjustments. He drove the car back to the racing room."
After the fourth lap, Qin Chuan drove the car back to the P room for adjustments.
At the same time, Pedrosa has reached the second place on the list, and his progress here is very fast.
Xiao Zhang did not relax at all. He changed the subject and focused on Pedrosa.
Unlike others who held back, Pedrosa pushed the car at full speed, almost treating it as a proper qualifying race, so the catching-up speed was very fast.
Of course, age has also left its mark on him. Even though he ran at his best, he could not catch up with the performance of the current GP drivers after they let off the brakes in just a few laps.
At least Martin's wasn't very good.
In the p room.
John quickly adjusted the car in just one minute. The staff quickly started the car. Qin Chuan climbed into the car, twisted the accelerator with his right hand, and the car drove out of the P room at high speed.
The engine sound instantly spread to the entire exit channel.
A new circle begins for Qin Chuan.
"Qin Chuan is on the court again. There are still eighteen minutes left in the game, and it will be halfway through soon. Qin Chuan can still do at least ten laps!"
Under the helmet, the wheels of the track in Qin Chuan's perspective gradually became more complete.
The moment the car returned to the track, Qin Chuan lifted the speed limit in the P room and began to accelerate.
The accelerator was locked, and the RC16 quickly accelerated in a straight line to the finish line. The handlebars vibrated slightly, and Qin Chuan clamped his legs around the body of the car to control it steadily.
The car quickly passed the finish line and broke through the sixth gear, with the final speed reaching 287km/h.
At the braking point of Turn 1, Qin Chuan straightened his upper body, squeezed the brake lever with his right hand, stretched out his right leg, and braked hard to prepare for the turn.
After such a long period of adaptation, Qin Chuan has now mastered the first six bends of this track to perfection. The next period of time will be to fill in the gaps and look for adjustments in the details.
After heavy braking into Turn 1, the car slowed down and Qin Chuan stuck steadily to the center of the corner. Then he stepped on the accelerator with his right hand, and the rear wheel slid slightly, allowing the car to exit the corner.
This time, Qin Chuan adjusted the throttle point when exiting the corner, and the throttle speed was earlier than the previous lap. Of course, the feedback from the rear wheel was also greater.
When he can use the rear wheel to its limit, his lap time will basically be in the top three.
"Qin Chuan has already arrived at Turn 5. Let's see how much speed Qin Chuan can achieve on the straight line!"
In the commentary booth, Wei Ran's attention was already on other people, while Xiao Zhang was staring at Qin Chuan. The two had a clear division of labor.
On the long straight line, Qin Chuan's car accelerated all the way along the straight line. The engine of the RC16 continued to release power outwards. In the blink of an eye, the car arrived at the braking point at the end of the straight line.
Qin Chuan stepped on the brakes and turned into Turn 6 with extreme heavy braking. At the same time, the tail speed of the car also appeared on the big screen.
"Qin Chuan's final speed was only 298, which is much slower than Ducati's car this year! Is Qin Chuan's braking point selection too conservative?"
At the end of Turn 6, Qin Chuan's car had already started braking to enter the turn. Seeing the speed at the end, Xiao Zhang couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.
Now Qin Chuan is almost driving alone. The cars in front and behind are some distance away from each other, so there is no wake and no interference.
In this situation, without the comparison of the cars next to each other, it was difficult for Xiao Zhang to tell whether Qin Chuan braked early or late. After all, the factory car was moving very fast, and he could hardly tell the difference with his naked eyes.
But what he can be sure of is that Qin Chuan's final speed is definitely problematic.
Last year, the final speed record on this track was 300.8. The record was set by the Ducati team. This year, the final speed record was improved to 304.7 by Ducati in the first practice. This is just one practice. Normally, it is normal for KTM to lag behind Ducati by 3~4.
Qin Chuan could usually even fall behind by only 2 points, but today there was a small problem with Qin Chuan's speed at the end.
At the moment, Xiao Zhang is not sure whether it is a problem with the car or Qin Chuan did not exert enough effort, but the final speed is almost seven points behind, which is a considerable gap.
In the p room, John frowned slightly after seeing Qin Chuan's speed this time, but soon relaxed.
There was indeed a minor incident in the tuning of the car this time.
It is said that the Jerez circuit is not too difficult to tune, but this is a record compared with other circuits.
If you look at one alone and compare it with the rest of the events, the training here is extremely difficult.
This time they also encountered some minor problems.
The problem lies with the rear swing arm. It is not a big problem, but it still needs to be adjusted several times to perfect it.
Shock absorbers can be soft or hard, and can be compressed. There are also many requirements for adjusting the rocker arm.
The problem with the swing arm is even more complicated than the shock absorber, and requires more data to support it. With the data, Jerez's rear shock absorber adjustment does not even need to be changed, and last year's adjustment can be studied. But without data, it will be a bit troublesome, just like they are now.
One of the main reasons is that the swing arm involves the frame issue. The frame is one of the three most important and core parts of a racing car. Its importance can be imagined, so it is a bit more complicated.
The influence of the rear swing arm is very comprehensive and much more complicated than the shock absorber. The length of the rear swing arm and its angle to the ground will affect the center of gravity of the car and the acceleration of the car when exiting a corner.
This requires the use of a lot of mathematical formulas and the assistance of physics to calculate the best angle and length to the ground.
Therefore, a huge amount of data is needed to support this.
Fortunately, this problem is easy to adjust for Qin Chuan.
So John is not under much pressure, on the contrary he is relatively relaxed.
