The terrain of this straight line is slightly bumpy. Qin Chuan holds the accelerator tightly with his right hand and when the car passes the curve and stands upright, he presses down violently with his right hand and accelerates with full force.

The front wheel of the RC16 shook violently and left the ground.

The car shifted up early when exiting the turn. Qin Chuan, who should have shifted to second gear, shifted to third gear in advance.

The front wheels of the car were high off the ground, and the rear shock absorber of the RC16 sank, and it seemed that the center of gravity had changed slightly.

In the P room, John looked calm when he saw this scene, without showing any anxiety. This was not abnormal, but normal.

The terrain is higher when just exiting Turn 4, which makes it very easy to lift the front wheel when exiting the turn. This front wheel lifting is different from actively lifting the front wheel to accelerate when exiting the turn. This is caused by the terrain and is an uncontrollable factor.

It can easily reach the critical point of triggering the electronic control, and it can no longer be suppressed simply by carefully turning on the accelerator.

In order to avoid this, drivers usually choose to step on the rear brake to control the height of the front wheel. Another method is to shift up in advance. Both are to make the power smoother and smoother, thereby stabilizing the front wheel of the car.

The former has a slightly higher error rate, while the latter is relatively safer.

Qin Chuan used the latter here, but you can still see that the front wheels of the car are unstable, which is normal.

Shift from third gear to fourth gear, and from fourth gear to fifth gear.

After the rc16 entered the fifth gear, the car had arrived in front of Turn , a long straight line. Qin Chuan's car shook slightly, and then came to the braking point. His right leg was extended again, the rear wheel of the car slipped slightly, and Qin Chuan spun into the turn.

Pushing the limits once again.

John, Stoner and Pedrosa held their breath.

If the first few turns are the normal way of turning in a race, then the current drifting into the turn is the extreme way of turning.

This extreme running method that goes beyond normal cruising is generally used to test the ultimate strength of a racing car.

Qinchuan's rear wheels lifted off the ground high, and after landing, they slid to the outside. While sliding, the front wheels turned quickly. After the turning was completed, the car quickly turned out of the corner and drove out of the corner.

Seeing that Qin Chuan's car was fine, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief, as if a huge stone had been lifted from their hearts.

It was just a preliminary relief. The car looked very stable to the naked eye, and the kit did not affect drifting into corners. But whether there would be any slight impact or not, Qin Chuan and others would need to talk about their feelings next time to know.

But even if there is a problem, it probably isn't a big deal.

The car passed the next track steadily. The Red Moo Ring is a very dangerous track. There are slipstreams but no shortage of overtaking points. There are many overtaking routes on this track.

After one lap, Qin Chuan returned to the P room and John began to adjust the car according to the suggestions.

"How is it? Is it a big problem?"

Stoner asked, sitting down.

Qin Chuan didn't take off his helmet. He pulled the lens of the helmet, smiled and shook his head. "There are some minor problems, but they are not caused by the kit."

He just felt it, and no matter what the situation was, he could not feel the existence of the kit, so this upgrade was very successful.

He just came back and took a look at the tail speed. He couldn't tell how much faster it was, but it should have improved.

"That's good. Danny and I have been worried about this for a long time."

Stoner nodded, and seemed to be completely relieved.

Soon, John finished adjusting the car. Qin Chuan pulled down his glasses, turned over, got on the car, drove out of the P room again, and continued practicing.

"Qin Chuan is currently ranked first. It seems that KTM's upgrade today was very successful. Qin Chuan's return to P was also very rare today!"

In the commentary booth, Xiao Zhang looked relaxed as he watched Qin Chuan, who had been steadily ranking first halfway through the practice.

As predicted before the race, the upgrades of the major teams were very effective, but Qin Chuan, who had data, was in explosive form. Not only did he not need to adjust the car, but he was at his peak as soon as he appeared on the stage. From the first lap to the last lap, his lap time never fell out of the top three.

It can be called invincible.

Of course, this may be related to the fact that the red moo track is Qinchuan’s second strongest track.

Qin Chuan finished first in the first practice session and continued to dominate the list in the second practice session until the qualifying session in the afternoon. Fans finally saw that the situation was no longer a crushing one.

In the qualifying round, Qin Chuan met his opponent.

Qin Chuan briefly fell to second place in the first half of qualifying. Ducati used the advantage of the slipstream to suppress Qin Chuan. Qin Chuan suffered the loss of going alone. It was not until the end of qualifying that Qin Chuan started to follow the car and with the help of Acosta's slipstream that he regained the top spot and won the pole position at the Red Moo-Ring.

The whole process was relatively safe.

The moment the pole position was achieved, the entire KTM stands burst into cheers.

As KTM's home court, Qinchuan's victory is no different from their own winning for Austrian fans.

The cheers continued until the evening, and all Austrian fans came to the morning of the sprint race the next day with anticipation, hoping that Qinchuan would win the sprint race.

The next morning, the sun was shining brightly on the Red Moo Ring track, the air temperature reached a terrifying 33 degrees, and the track temperature reached over 50 degrees.

Qin Chuan held Jiang Yue's hand and pushed her hand aside so that the umbrella could cover her, and then he put on the helmet.

There were still ten minutes before the sprint race started. He stretched his muscles and turned his head to take a look at today's starting position.

He himself was on the first row, pole position, next to Martin and third was Peco.

The fourth in the second row is the Horse King, the fifth is the Beast, and the sixth is Morbidelli.

Seventh is Acosta and eighth is the Mavericks.

Among the top six riders, five were Ducatis. Although this was expected, Qin Chuan still felt a slight pressure.

Why do I feel like I'm going to be beaten up?

This thought suddenly popped up in Qin Chuan's mind, but he soon felt that it was impossible. He turned back and looked forward, waiting for the game to begin.

“Welcome everyone to the Austrian race. There are only ten minutes left before the race starts. The staff have already started to leave the race. Let’s look forward to today’s sprint race!”

Xiao Zhang's voice was heard from the commentary booth, and all the staff from the major P-rooms below the stage evacuated, leaving only thirty drivers and their respective cars on the scene.

Qin Chuan checked the zipper and helmet, put on gloves, and looked focused, with his feet on the ground and his body slightly bent.

The sprint race is stressful for him but not fatal. What is really fatal is the start. He still doesn't know what the start of Ducati will be like after the upgrade.

This is an area where you need to be careful.

"Hey, do you think these Ducatis will explode in the next moment? What if all five Ducatis are taken down by Qin Shen in one second?"

"No man, if that's the case, there's no point in playing GP. Ducati's start is just a little faster at best. If the riders in the second row can catch up, it would be incredible."

"There are many examples of drivers from the second row of GPs rushing forward."

"That's different, that kind of outbreak is uncertain!"

"..."

In the stands, fans were also skeptical about the start of the next car. Qin Chuan's start was average and not outstanding, and he could be easily overtaken, such as the Beast and Mobidelli in the second row behind. It is possible that these two would rush up.

Four of the five Ducati riders in the first two rows are riding gp24, and only Ma Wang’s gp23 did not have the starting device upgraded.

If it were Yingguo Station, they wouldn't have to worry, after all, the starting area was ridiculously short. But it's different for Red Moo. The starting area here is very long, a one-kilometer straight line starting in the middle of the track. There are at least a few hundred meters for the car to accelerate, and there are a lot of variables.

Similarly, this concern is also spreading in KTM's P room, but in the eyes of Pedrosa and Stoner, the possibility of Beast and Morbidelli is not great.

Although Qin Chuan's start was average, it was not ridiculously slow, so it was impossible for the people in the second row to catch up.

But it’s hard to say about the other two in the first row, as both of them had excellent starts.

Soon, flags were waved and the warm-up lap began. The riders started slowly, and everyone's eyes were fixed on the four Ducati cars, as if they wanted to see some clues from them. However, the riders in the warm-up lap did not know how to start the starting device at all, so they could not see anything.
