The upgrade direction is easy to control when the steps are small, and mistakes can be corrected quickly, but on Bentian’s side, they brought too many things to upgrade at once.

Taking too big a step forward has resulted in Bentian's racing style being very mixed. They have already gained some basic control over the original car, but once these messy parts are replaced, the car becomes a new car again.

It is not yet known whether the lap time will be improved, and it will take a lot of time just to adapt.

For example, in this test, Bentian brought too many things, including the frame, front spoiler, and rear spoiler.

The frame is for use next year, but the front and rear spoilers alone are a huge step forward in upgrading the car.

This is not a small fixed wing, but a direct replacement of the entire large one. This also caused him slight bruises, and the original stability of the car when it braked heavily completely changed the wind direction.

The changes were too drastic, resulting in a change in the style of the car. He was not used to Bentian's racing style because it was left by the eight-time champion. Now, after many changes, he was struggling.

Fortunately, Bentian still has one advantage, which is that he is quite active in upgrading, and he has a large family and a large business, so he is willing to invest money.

These are the only benefits.

Half an hour later, the staff from each major P-room pushed the racing cars out of the P-room. Thirty racing cars were parked at the door one by one, waiting for their respective drivers to come out and drive.

Staff members holding cameras at the door of the P room filmed the car, and the director broadcast the live view as soon as possible.

Since then, the mid-season upgrade parts of the major teams have been completely exposed to the public.

Wei Ran and Xiao Zhang quickly gave the fans an analysis of the upgrade status of each racing car.

The first focus of the fans was Ducati, which was the same for Qin Chuan’s fans and other fans at the scene.

Strictly speaking, whether Qin Chuan can win the championship has little to do with whether KTM is upgraded or not. KTM's upgrades are actually predictable every time, and there is some effect, but it is very small and not too big.

On the contrary, Ducati's upgrades, whether it is the dinosaur tail or other devices, immediately triggered a trend of follow-up from other teams once they appeared.

This time they want to see if Ducati will add any new black technology.

Ducati's upgrades are a more deadly threat to the championship.

Everyone was nervously watching the Ducati car on the big screen, trying to spot some difference, but they were disappointed. They didn't notice anything unusual. This GP24 was exactly the same as it was before the off-season, with no difference at all. Even the heads of the major P rooms who were also looking at it didn't notice any difference.

Exactly the same car, nothing has changed!

No air kit added, no frame modifications made.

From the outside it looked like the car had never been moved.

Inside the ktmp room, John frowned, in his opinion this was impossible, gp23 had been upgraded, although Ducati had previously stated that it would not upgrade 24, but this was still impossible.

How could they not upgrade under the pressure of being the champion? Do they think that they can suppress Qin Chuan with just the current gp24 and Peko Martin?

Let alone suppressing, even overtaking may not be possible.

It's not that John is confident. The current points gap is about half a hundred. Qin Chuan is completely leading the standings. Even if he gives up one race and doesn't run at all, he will still be the absolute first. Some people even predict that if Qin Chuan can maintain the competitive state of the first half of the season in the second half of the season, he will be crowned the champion ahead of schedule.

Ducati is already at an absolute disadvantage. Without upgrading, there is absolutely no chance of overtaking, at least not with a high probability.

So what exactly is Ducati hiding?

After examining the Ducati, everyone couldn't see any difference so they had to turn their attention elsewhere. Although the KTM's upgrade was not very obvious, it was soon noticed. Aprilia changed the shape of the rear wing, which is the wing behind the seat. It also improves straight lines and corners, but whether it is effective is not yet known. The same is true for KTM, and the effect test has not yet begun.

As for Yamaha's upgrade, it is on the front spoiler. Although there are significant changes to Benta and Yamaha, not many people pay attention to it. Except for their own die-hard fans, the two of them have little impact on the victory.

It is a part of self-entertainment.

After the atmosphere was quiet for a while, the drivers had already mounted their racing cars and started racing. Xiao Zhang finally began to introduce the upgrades of the Ducati team's racing cars.

Others may not know, but the racing organizers must know, so Xiao Zhang and the others also know what Ducati has upgraded, but they just didn’t say it at the first time.

Ducati didn’t upgrade external items this time, such as aerodynamics, it upgraded the starting device.

Upgraded and started! Xiao Zhang was also surprised when he got the news.

The starting device is the one that causes the shock absorber to sink at the beginning. This is where Ducati upgraded, so it cannot be detected.

This upgrade is neither big nor small. In Xiao Zhang's opinion, as long as the upgrade of ktm is effective, it can be dealt with.

At least the competitive chain can be kept within the previous level without breaking the previous balance, so the advantage lies in ktm.

The starting device was first invented by Ducati, and now everyone has it. But if we rank which company has the best starting device and the fastest acceleration after starting, it must be Ducati. Now this device has been upgraded again, and Ducati's starting advantage will be expanded again.

Qin Chuan's already disadvantageous start is now even more disadvantageous.

After talking about Ducati's upgrade status, Xiao Zhang sighed deeply in his heart.

Listening to the narration, the audience did not react much. It seemed that they did not think that this starting device was anything special. Instead, they thought that the upgrade of KTM was more useful.

After all, the advantage at the start is only for a moment, whereas the upgrade on a straight line is continuous and can be used in every lap.

It’s easy to tell which is better.

"No, why did this Ducati only upgrade the starting point? The upgrade is not good for straight lines? The upgrade is not good for curves? What's the point of starting!"

"You're right. You can only use the start once. It's just that one advantage. It looks like Ducati will lose the championship this year."

"Don't jump to conclusions so early. The car hasn't been tested yet. If KTM fails in this upgrade, it will be a big problem."

"Well, calm down first!"

In the ktmp room, Stoner and Pedrosa frowned slightly when they heard Xiao Zhang's narration. John's face looked okay, but it was not good-looking either.

Ducati's move was to take advantage of Qin Chuan's weakness to strengthen the positional advantage of its own car and further expand the original advantage.

This is aimed directly at Qin Chuan.

It is a targeted upgrade.

"I wonder if Qin Chuan's lap time will improve during the test..."

John said leisurely.

Generally speaking, the upgrade of KTM is indeed more useful, but Ducati also has a great advantage in starting. Starting is Qinchuan's weakness. If Ducati can be in the front at the start, then most of Qinchuan's pole positions will not be of much use. For example, in the previous few stations, Qinchuan had several situations where he was in pole position but was defeated by Martin at the start. This situation will only happen more often in the future.

Ducati has strengthened its start, and a slight improvement in the KTM straight line will increase the lap speed for each lap, but once there is one more person in front, it will inevitably involve taking a great risk.

The simplest truth is that if you are leading the race, your lap time is the same as Peko's.

Another is that you are third and your lap time is faster than the person leading the race, which is indeed faster, but more risky.

"Practice session started, Peco was the first to go out, his car didn't improve in lap time, so practice session didn't have any special meaning for him!"

"He will most likely practice starting after the practice session!"
