However, the bump on the knee still did not touch the ground.

Under normal circumstances, the driver will not let the wheelbarrow touch the ground, but walk close to the ground, trying to keep a little gap between the knees and the ground. However, contact is inevitable in a fierce fight, but it is different on rainy days. In a fight, prolonged contact should be avoided, otherwise it will lead to increased instability of the car.

As Qin Chuan braked, the car waded through the water and rushed into Turn 3. The rear wheels still did not leave the ground, but the car body was shaking slightly.

At the Z-shaped corner, Qin Chuan directly reduced the speed and did not choose to speed up here. The braking point was still in advance. While entering the corner, he instantly became extremely cautious. He entered Turn 3 first with side hanging, and then gently flipped the car to maneuver, and made a quick U-turn in the middle. The car passed Turn 4 steadily and passed the Z-shaped corner safely. The speed was much slower than on dry land.

In rainy conditions, the risk of this Z-shaped corner is too high. Qin Chuan knows that he must be careful. It is more important to keep steady and score points than to be reckless. It would be mindless to speed up here as soon as he comes on the court.

“Here at Turn 4, Martin is already behind Peco!”

"The two cars passed the zigzag very carefully."

Behind Qin Chuan, Peko also passed carefully, followed by Martin. Martin's speed was a little faster than Peko's, and his turning speed was also a little faster. The whole person was relatively bold in the Z-turn. Even Wei Ran could clearly feel the difference with his eyes and reminded him immediately.

Martin was obviously a reckless type here, but fortunately nothing went wrong and he finally managed to stay stable.

“Coming out of Turn 4, Martin was faster than Peco.”

"Martin has ideas for Peco, this straight line he is sucking Peco's wake!!"

Xiao Zhang spoke up and said that it was relatively difficult for Peko to catch up with Qin Chuan at the moment. It was too difficult for Peko to catch up with the gap of 0.5.

But Martin is different. Martin is very fast on this track and is the pole position driver. Martin is also good at fighting in the rain. Compared with Peco, his chances of catching up with Qin Chuan are much higher.

Before chasing Qin Chuan, he had to take action against Peko first.

This time it has arrived!

According to his speculation, Peko might not be able to stop it.

"Peko's advantage is gone, and the next game will be difficult."

Below the stage, in the Ducati P-room, the Ducati executive frowned as he looked at Martin getting closer and closer, and said in a deep voice.

Peko is very clear about his strengths. He is stable, more stable than Martin. Secondly, he is good at tyre management, that is, protecting the tyre. Peko's tyre protection technique is unique in the paddock.

But in this situation, Peko's advantage is almost gone.

If he changes to rain tires halfway, does he still need to protect the tires?

On the contrary, Martin was like a duck in water.

Martin was a strong driver in the early stages, and now after a tire change, he has almost two strong periods. If Martin had not run conservatively in the dry, he might have been ahead of Qin Chuan at this moment. Even Qin Chuan might not have been able to gain an advantage during Martin's strong period in yesterday's sprint race, and in the end, if it had not been for mistakes, the race would have most likely ended in a draw.

This is enough to show how strong Martin is in Ying Country. He is unstoppable!

The person in charge is very self-aware. It will be difficult for Peko to defend Martin.

"Then why don't you tell Peko to make some response?"

A staff member nearby said upon seeing this.

"No need to. Giving the driver too much information on rainy days will only cause him trouble and affect his mentality."

The person in charge shook his head and rejected the idea of ​​formulating tactics for Peko. Distraction is the most taboo on rainy days. Besides, letting Martin go would also give them a chance to watch the fight.

Although Peko may not be able to catch up in the end, there is still a chance.

The racing car rumbled, accompanied by thunder, and the entire sky changed from the original blue to black. Lightning flashed faintly from the dark clouds, and the rain intensified again.

The staff who were originally standing under the eaves of the major P houses could not help but take a few steps back to avoid the rain being swept in diagonally.

“The rain is getting heavier!”

"That's right, I thought it was just a drizzle at first, but it turns out to be a rainstorm!"

"Damn it, I told you my weather forecast was accurate, but you guys didn't believe me."

"..."

In the stands, as the rain was getting heavier, the fans who came to watch the fun couldn't help but worry about leaving after the race.

It would be fine if it was just a little rain, but this heavy rain is really a bit troublesome.

Off the track, when the car entered Turn 6, Martin launched his first attack. After absorbing enough tailstream, the car pulled ahead before Turn 6.

Late braking goes straight into the inside lane.

"Inside Turn 6, Martin has taken action. Be careful, there is a lot of water in Turn 6!"

On the inside line of Turn 6, Martin's car squeezed in. Peko's car trembled and he didn't dare to change lanes without permission, or even get too close to the outside line. There is a white line between the asphalt road and the outer shoulder. This white line is very similar to the white line in the middle of the street used as a sign. Once the wheels pass over it, it is very easy to slip.

All drivers avoid contact with this line when it rains, and Peko is clearly paying attention to this.

The two cars trembled and followed Martin's car into the corner, rushing to the center of the corner first and entering the corner sideways.

Peko had no choice but to follow Martin's car into the turn from the outside.

Turn six is ​​Martin’s strong corner and he was no match for the opponent.

"Martin passed. Will Peco fight back in this turn? No, Martin came out of Turn 7 and onto the second straight."

"The two gp24s have exchanged positions!"

Martin's car overtook Peko's car at Turn 6 and came in second place. Turn 6 is Martin's strong corner, but Peko did not choose to fight him to the death, and was even a little conservative and did not fight back.

After exiting the corner, the two GP24s accelerated along the small straight line, and after passing the false turn No. , they quickly arrived in front of the turn No. , which is also a relatively heavy braking area.

The roar was getting closer and closer to Turn Nine. In the eyes of the fans, the figures of the racing cars had already appeared in the audience, one purple and one red, and were extremely obvious.

"Peko has a head shot here, but the distance is not enough, he still wants to be steady!"

"Two people passed Turn Nine, and Peko didn't attack!"

The voices of Xiao Zhang and Wei Ran were heard continuously. Two cars passed through Turn Nine, and Peko finally did not make up his mind to attack.

Compared to Martin, he lacks the boldness and courage, but this is precisely the embodiment of their styles.

One is relatively stable, the other is very reckless.

"Don't be careless, this could be something Peko did on purpose."

Pedrosa, who saw this scene, spoke lightly.

On the field, as Martin came out of Turn Nine, the situation once again turned into a chase.

After lap 13, he entered the pit to change tires. Now it was the 14th lap. After overtaking Peko, the first thing Martin had to do was to catch up with Qin Chuan.

Qin Chuan's 0.5 advantage seems huge, but if you compare it with the remaining laps, it may not be impossible to catch up. There are still seventeen laps to the end of the race, and there are many variables.

The roar continued, and Martin quickly left Peco behind and quickly caught up with the front, showing the power of Ducati's racing boat in the rain. In the rain battle, the Ducati car still had excellent stability compared to other cars.

Of course, KTM also has advantages.

In the rain the gap between them and the Ducati was shortened, but still not on par with them, just a little closer than usual.

"At present, the gap between Martin and Qin Chuan is 0.55. This gap is still within the tail flow range, which is barely a small advantage for Martin."

"He may be able to catch up with Qin Chuan with the help of the wake, but he must be careful!"

In the commentary booth, Xiao Zhang said in a deep voice as he saw the two people separated by several body lengths.

The advantage of the wake flow in the rain battle was greatly reduced, but it cannot be said that it is completely gone. After all, there is still a little bit. With Martin's own reckless nature, as long as he does not fall in the rain battle, it will not be difficult to catch up with Qin Chuan with the wake flow.

At Turn 16, Qin Chuan stretched out his right leg and turned steadily into Turn . After sticking to the center of Turn , his right hand turned slightly, the car came out of the turn and turned upright, the RC flipped to the other side and entered Turn .

After the twelfth turn, stick to the center of the turn and turn over again.

Qin Chuan repeated the flipping action continuously and controlled the car through the following several consecutive corners.

After a few turns, the car came out of Turn 15 and headed towards Turn 16.

The car body was thrown out to the outer line and accelerated closely along the white line. The whole person huddled behind the windshield, and the rain flowed into the leather jacket through the gap in the helmet.

One second, two seconds, Qin Chuan's body suddenly stood up, not affected by the rain at all. He moved his lower body to the outside first, shifting his center of gravity, then stretched out his right leg and squeezed the brake lever with his right hand.

A few downshift sounds were heard, the RC16 car shook slightly, and then entered Turn steadily.

The speed is neither fast nor slow, and it is in a relatively stable stage.

Sticking to the center of the curve and reaching the throttle point, Qin Chuan turned his right hand, stepped on the throttle and exited the curve, with the car accelerating while standing upright.

After exiting Turn 16, Qin Chuan continued to pass the next two corners steadily. After exiting Turn 18, the car soon reached the finish line.

The fourteenth lap ended and the lap time was refreshed.

"The lap time for lap 2 is out. After the rain, Qin Chuan slowed down his lap by nine seconds. This lap was 09 minutes 113 seconds !"

Wei Ran stared at the screen and said in a deep voice.

Two minutes and nine seconds, this lap time is more than nine seconds slower than in dry land, which is within a reasonable range. First of all, this is a lap coming out of the P channel, and the speed itself is slower than a normal lap. In addition, this is the first time the driver has touched the track after changing to rain tires, and the driver needs time to adapt.

After Qin Chuan crossed the finish line, Martin followed closely behind and his lap time also emerged.

2 minutes 09 seconds 398, about slower than Qin Chuan.

The fight affected his rhythm to a certain extent.
