With the RC16 running at full horsepower, from an aerial perspective, Qin Chuan's car was approaching Martin's GP24 in front at a slow speed.

This shows that Qin Chuan's cornering speed is faster than Martin's.

Halfway through the 700-meter straight line, the front of Qin Chuan's car was already side by side with the rear of Martin's car, with a faint intention of wanting to overtake.

Judging from this rhythm, even if we can’t go through the straight line, there will be a fight at Turn 5.

"Qin Chuan is on the inside line at Turn 5, so it will be difficult for Martin to defend this turn!"

“Turn Five is coming!”

Xiao Zhang obviously noticed this and couldn't help but speak in a deep voice. As soon as he finished speaking, a harsh brake sound was heard at Turn 5, and the entire Turn 5 fan stand could hear the sound.

From the perspective of the stands, two racing cars were seen approaching from afar, then braking at the same time, preparing to enter Turn 5.

In the braking area, Qin Chuan squeezed the brake lever, the rear wheel of RC16 lifted up suddenly, the front shock absorber bottomed out, the car braked hard on the inside line, the body of the car shook, but was held down by Qin Chuan.

Martin was also not bad, he pushed the brakes to the maximum while on the outside, with the rear wheel also hanging in the air, and he braked hard to the extreme!

However, he was at a disadvantage on the outside and was stuck by Qin Chuan's car. The car was unable to enter the corner immediately and was firmly blocked on the outside.

"Qin Chuan blocked Martin at Turn 5, Qin Chuan passed!"

Qin Chuan tightened the inside line, the car did not throw out, and did not give Martin a chance to overtake. The rc16 entered the corner perfectly.

The two passed the center of Turn 5, and after passing the center of the turn, they quickly stepped on the accelerator. Both cars drove at full speed out of the turn and approached Turn 6, with no intention of lingering.

In the car, the two men shrank their bodies at the same time, hiding behind the windshield and accelerating.

Turn 6 is a high-speed right turn, not far from Turn 5.

The straight-line advantage of the car could not be brought into play. When the two cars arrived at Turn 6 at the same time, neither of them moved. They straightened their bodies and lightly tapped the brakes.

RC16 and GP24 passed the high-speed corner of Turn steadily.

Qin Chuan's car body was shaking slightly, and the worn tires seemed unable to withstand his violent pushing at this moment.

Martin's car shook more, but fortunately, the shaking of both of them was within controllable range.

After turning over out of the corner and coming out of Turn 6, the two cars accelerated on a short straight line and arrived at Turn 7.

Turn 7 is a hairpin bend to the left. This bend does not cover a large area, but it is possible to overtake from here. As the two cars came to Turn 7, the fans in the stands of Turn 7 could not help but stand up and cheer. A large group of people stood densely on both sides of the track, and there was a sea of ​​people under the camera lens.

At Turn 7, both of them arrived at the outside line at the same time.

Martin controlled the car and tried to pull away, but Qin Chuan's brakes were pushed very hard, so he finally held back and did not choose to force a move here.

Overtaking requires an opportunity. If the other car brakes at full speed, you cannot overtake, unless you are like Qin Chuan just now, where the car body already has a small advantage that allows you to overtake before entering the corner, such as using the wake to shorten the gap between the two cars. Only then will there be a certain probability of overtaking.

Otherwise, overtaking will be difficult.

After passing Turn 7, the car came to Turn 8, which is also a left-hand forward bend.

The straight line connecting the two turns is very close, almost like Turn 8 immediately after exiting Turn 7. This turn is exactly the same as Turn 7, as if they were carved out of the same mold.

Martin still followed without making any move. He had no chance at Turn 7, and the straight area in front of Turn 8 was even shorter, so he had even less chance. Qin Chuan had set the line very tightly, so it was very difficult for him to make a move.

After the two cars shifted gears, they entered the turn again. The lean angles of both cars in these two hairpin turns reached 65 degrees, which were purely slow turns.

Coming out of Turn 8, the car flipped over and Qin Chuan's body flipped from left to right, from left-side hanging to right-side hanging. The car turned, and the two cars flipped into Turn 9 at the same time.

Turn 9 and Turn 8 form a series of turnarounds, and after a turnaround, the car comes to a small straight line.

The turning speed of gp24 and rc16 is almost the same, and there is no extremely outstanding feeling like Yamaha.

Martin also missed the overtaking opportunity this time, but he set his sights on Turn 10.

Here was his chance, and a good chance of success.

“Both cars were thrown out to the outside line at the same time coming out of Turn 9. Martin seemed to have given more throttle. He had an idea for Turn 10!”

"The straight line before Turn 10 is quite long. If Martin can exit the turn better than Qin Chuan, then he..."

"Martin made a mistake here!!"

In the commentary booth, Wei Ran couldn't help but exclaimed when he saw Martin's car almost rushing out of the edge of the track. The fans in the stands at Turn 9 also exclaimed.

Martin's car body shook violently on the outer shoulder after exiting Turn 9, and almost rushed out of the shoulder and pressed into the green area.

The drivers are very regular in accelerating out of a turn. They accelerate slowly at the center of the turn, and when they are thrown to the outside line, the car body is just on the shoulder of the road, not an inch more or less, and the car body is just upright at this moment.

This technique is not something that ordinary people can do.

Martin almost fell off the curb just now. There is only one possibility: Martin stepped on the accelerator more frequently in Turn 10 than in other turns!

This is a sign of action! He wants to gain speed out of the corner here.

However, according to Wei Ran's guess, there is an 80% chance that overtaking will not happen this time, because Martin's mistake this time is quite serious.

Sure enough, Martin did not pull away at Turn 10, and the car passed through it very smoothly. Although he made a mistake, he did not fall away from Qin Chuan and still followed closely.

"Did Martin just make a mistake?"

"I guess he wanted to compete for lap time, but he failed. Otherwise, I think he would have attacked Qin Shen."

"This isn't a mistake, but Martin's actions just now felt very strange."

There was no shortage of smart people in the stands, and many of them saw the clues.

Martin did want to make a move just now, but he seemed to be trying too hard. When exiting Turn 9, he seemed to want to have a faster speed, but he made a mistake when he got on the curb.

The car was thrown out onto the shoulder of the road, but the body of the car was not yet upright.

Under normal circumstances, as the speed of applying the accelerator increases, the speed at which the car body stands upright will increase. This time, Martin's car body did not stand upright immediately because he adjusted his center of gravity and did not retract his body in time.

Although the car did not run off the curb, that was because Martin adjusted his center of gravity in time and saved himself from the car, otherwise it would have really fallen off the curb.

This so-called rescue posture is very unique. When exiting a right turn, the car body should hang sideways on the right side, and the same is true when it is thrown to the outside line. Seeing that the car body was about to rush out, Martin's car body quickly flipped from the right side to the left side, but did not hang sideways on the left side. Instead, he used the force of the center of gravity transfer at that moment to straighten the car body.

The rescue team lost speed and gave up the attack.

Many drivers have tried to press the car body hard to prevent it from standing upright when exiting a corner, because as the throttle increases, the car body will inevitably stand upright earlier. However, if the car stands upright before the steering is in place, it will be easier to run off the track, so drivers generally choose to press it down.

In the ktmp room, the expressions of several bigwigs remained unchanged. Martin's mistake only delayed the attack time. The attack would come sooner or later.

They couldn't hide from this attack.

According to their speculation, Qin Chuan would need at least two laps to get rid of Martin, and it would depend on how well Martin could do during these two laps.

It took Qin Chuan two laps to get rid of Martin, not because Qin Chuan was not strong enough, but because the two of them had exchanged wakes. Martin had wakes while Qin Chuan had no wake. The gap between the two was greatly weakened. Otherwise, he might have gotten rid of Martin in one lap.

After all, Qin Chuan is more than one second ahead of Martin in a single lap.

Now that the two sides are alternating in wake flow, this leading advantage is probably only a little bit left.

After passing Turn 10, the two cars came to the last turn 11. Turn 11 is the same as Turn 10. Strictly speaking, Turn 11 is also an overtaking corner, but neither of them has any intention of taking action here.

When overtaking on this track, drivers will try their best to choose overtaking corners with a high success rate, otherwise the loss of rhythm will be too great.

At the center of Turn 16, Qin Chuan's knee touched the ground and the car quickly stood up. He stepped on the accelerator with his right hand, and the car quickly turned upside down. The RC accelerated rapidly along the outer shoulder of the road.

Qin Chuan led the pack to the finish line.

The eleventh lap ended and the race came to the twelfth lap.

On the finish line, Qin Chuan, under his helmet, glanced at the P board on his side. This time, the KTM P board did not give him any distance indication from Martin.

Not giving Martin a distance hint means that Martin is not far behind him.

This time, KTM gave Peko the position difference, and Peko is currently 0.3 seconds behind him.

Not much, but not far either.

There are still four laps left in the race. If it were any other track, Peko might not have much chance, but the fight with Red Moo-Ring was extremely disruptive, so it was hard to say for sure what would happen to Peko.

Qin Chuan withdrew his gaze and looked forward again. Turn No. 1 was coming.

At the braking point of Turn 1, Qin Chuan stood up straight and stretched out his right leg the moment he squeezed the brake lever. This time he pushed the braking point back half a meter, as he knew Martin would launch an attack here.

So he has to defend.
