Silverstone Circuit.

The oversized RV with KTM and Red Eyes logo printed on it slowly stopped.

Qin Chuan got out of the car, and as soon as his feet touched the ground, he saw the endless Silverstone Circuit in front of him.

The track is large and flat, covering an area comparable to that of the Shanghai track, covering as much as square kilometers.

Qin Chuan could confirm its flatness after seeing the actual object. He could almost see the entire track by standing in a slightly higher place.

This is something that many tracks cannot do, the most obvious being the US station.

If you stand in the P room area, you can't see anything except Turn 1.

With the breeze blowing, Stoner and Pedrosa behind him also looked at the track.

"Danny, I watch it every year but I haven't run in years!"

Stoner couldn't help but sigh.

"Why don't we wait for Chuan to finish running and then go up and compete?"

Pedrosa responded with a smile that since retiring, the two of them have not run on many tracks again and are no longer familiar with them.

Qin Chuan smiled at the conversation between the two seniors and didn't say much.

Behind Qin Chuan, a car slowly stopped behind the RV. Qin Chuan and his team arrived very early. There were only a few cars parked in the RV area behind the entire P house, and the main group had not arrived yet.

According to estimates, everyone should arrive before tonight.

The car braked suddenly and stopped. Annabelle and Tuca got out of the car. Qin Chuan and Jiang Yue were just about to walk around the track while the light was still good, when Annabelle ran over here.

Trot all the way.

"Qin Chuan, can I go with you? I am very familiar with this track and can give you a brief introduction."

Qin Chuan turned his head and saw that it was Anna.

"it is good."

Qin Chuan nodded and did not refuse.

The three soon began walking around the track.

Annabelle acted as a tour guide, but she didn't tell Qin Chuan the characteristics of each bend. She knew very well that with her ability, she was not qualified to teach a MotoGP driver his opinion on a bend.

So she only talked about what happened in each bend over the years, that is, the exciting fights.

She was quite familiar with these, and she had even watched every race many times. As she spoke, Qin Chuan nodded to indicate that he had taken note of them.

Looking at the track, Qin Chuan memorized each turn, and he would mark the turn that Anna mentioned.

He had also watched some replays of Silverstone races over the years and had a general idea of ​​what he knew, but not as much detail as Annabelle did.

These things did him some good, but not much.

All I can say is that the tactics used by those predecessors back then might be of some help to him.

Of all the things that have happened at Silverstone over the years, the two most famous are those that occurred at Turn 1 and Turn 4.

There are eighteen turns in the Silverstone circuit.

The starting straight line is very short, it can almost be said to be the shortest ending straight line Qin Chuan has ever seen.

This small straight line that includes the starting point and the end point is only about three or four hundred meters long, and Turn 1 is a high-speed corner to the right, probably a C-shaped curve with a very long center.

The driver must maintain high speed and turn on the right side for a long time.

The inclination angle is not very low, but the speed is very fast, and it must maintain a speed of at least two hundred kilometers per hour.

About five years ago, which was the first year that Xiao Kua was promoted to the GP group, a major accident occurred at the Silverstone station.

The reason was that after the drivers started, when the group of cars turned right and passed Turn 1 at high speed, the rear wheel of a driver in front of Xiao Kua suddenly slipped and the car body shook violently. Xiao Kua, who had just entered the GP group, thought that the car in front had stepped on the accelerator too hard and was going to fall.

He subconsciously stepped on the brakes, and it was this brake that caused his front wheel to lock and he rolled out. Xiao Kua's car just fell down, and a Ducati racing car behind him could not avoid it.

He rushed directly over the body of Xiaokua's satellite Yamaha racing car at the time, performing a scene of GP19 leaping over Yamaha R1.

The car was bounced high, and then under the action of centrifugal force, the two people and the two cars rolled and flew a full hundred meters.

It was definitely a huge accident.

That Ducati rider was Peco’s predecessor, named Dovi, and he has now retired.

This incident was the most impressive thing Qin Chuan had to watch during the replay.

It is worth mentioning that both of them fell, but the driver who was at the front and sliding at the beginning adjusted himself and was not affected too much.

Who can I ask to explain this?

After one circle, the three came to the last turn.

"There was once a legendary kill here. A Suzuki driver used the line here to kill the eight-time champion."

"Using the line?"

Qin Chuan's mind moved, as if he remembered something. He indeed still remembered this scene.

That year, a Suzuki driver defeated the eight-time champion here, and he did not do it by overtaking, but by the route.

That is, enter the corner early and accelerate late.

Enter the turn late and accelerate early.

The eight-time champion entered the last turn early in order to defend the person behind him. However, this method affected his exit speed, which prevented him from slowing down and straightening the front of the car, thus preventing him from accelerating out of the turn as quickly as possible.

The Suzuki driver behind him did not choose to attack in the last turn, but chose another route, taking advantage of the corner exit and eventually killing the eight-time champion before the finish line.

This was achieved thanks to the line choices made by the Suzuki drivers at the time, and also thanks to Suzuki's excellent cornering flexibility, which allowed it to maintain a relatively fast speed while keeping a high steering angle.

This is how the inline four-cylinder car accomplished the feat of defeating the V-type four-cylinder racing car.

This is another thing that Silverstone has become famous for in recent years.

These two videos were the hottest ones on social media platforms back then.

After circling the track, Qin Chuan stopped at the door of the RV. Instead of going in, he just looked at Annabelle quietly.

"If you have anything to ask, come to me, Sister Anna."

Qin Chuan spoke. Annabelle had just specially followed him and Qin Chuan knew that it was definitely more than just a simple walk.

Most likely he has something to ask me.

Annabelle's beautiful eyes froze and she seemed a little hesitant. She did have something to ask Qin Chuan.

But I was too embarrassed to speak up.

"Sister Anna, although we have been together for quite a while, our relationship shouldn't be that unfamiliar."

Qin Chuan smiled, as if he had anticipated what Annabelle was going to say to him.

"Okay, then I'll get straight to the point. Um... can we allow the two drivers from our team to go in and observe the practice session tomorrow?"

"Don't worry, I'm just observing, I won't touch anything."

Annabelle gritted her teeth and spoke out what was in her mind. The funding problem of her team had been solved by Qin Chuan, but she was still not very impressed with the strength of the drivers. If she could observe the data of the GP drivers up close, it would definitely be of great benefit to their team.

The reason why it was a practice match instead of a sprint or a main race was because Annabelle felt that it would somewhat violate confidentiality. In fact, it had already somewhat violated confidentiality. Not everyone could watch the p-room of the practice match, and it was a close-up observation.

Qin Chuan frowned. She roughly guessed that the matter was related to the strength of senior driver John, but she had never expected this.

He thought Anna would let him take the class.

After thinking for a moment, Qin Chuan nodded.

"Yeah, no problem. I can still make the decision on the practice match."

"Thank you, I'll treat you and your girlfriend to dinner some other day."

Annabelle smiled, breathed a sigh of relief, and nodded to Jiang Yue beside her. Jiang Yue smiled back and nodded.

After the two parties parted ways, Qin Chuan returned to the RV to rest.

......................................................

Early the next morning, the first ray of sunlight shone through the window.

The Yingguo Grand Prix officially kicked off.

Early in the morning, Annabelle brought two staff members to the door of room P, but did not go in.

Although it was just a practice match, these data not only belong to Qin Chuan, but also to KTM, and are jointly held by both parties.

This is also the reason why Qin Chuan may not be able to make the decision in the sprint race and the final race. The KTM team may not allow others to come in, and Annabelle is very clear about this.

Although Qin Chuan agreed, she also had to abide by the rules and not cause trouble for the other party.

It was not until nine o'clock in the morning, when the first practice session was about to begin, that Annabelle took the two of them into the P room.

One of the people following Annabelle was Tuka, and the other was a local driver from Yingguo, who was the one who replaced Qin Chuan after he left.

It is worth mentioning that both of them are older than Qin Chuan.

"Sister, even though Qin Chuan has some talent, there's no need for us to do this."

Tuka felt a little embarrassed and couldn't help but whisper.

Qin Chuan’s strength is a bit strong, but they don’t need to be like this.

Annabelle glared at him, her expression slightly cold, "You're still talking too much about something that can help you improve your strength."

Tuka curled his lips. He naturally knew that this was helping him improve his strength, but he just didn't like Qin Chuan.

It was okay when we were teammates, there were no conflicts of interest.

But now I heard that the team wants to cooperate with him, so his seat is not guaranteed, right?

He had to worry about his seat, so naturally he didn't like Qin Chuan.

Compared with Tuca, another driver from Anna's team was in a completely different mood at the moment.

Excited, totally excited.

It was as if an ordinary person was as excited as seeing a big star, and that was indeed the case.

For BSB drivers, Qin Chuan is an idol-level figure.
