The director gave a replay immediately after Martin fell off the bike.

The way Martin fell was simple. He tried to brake very late at Turn 1, but his front wheel couldn't support the car and he fell out.

It was just a simple low-level race, but the car was going very fast when it fell out, and the G-force generated was also very high.

After watching the replay, all the responsible persons at the scene couldn't help but gasp. Martin braked too hard, almost bringing the heavy brakes into the cornering area, and the rear wheels almost skidded.

Both the front and rear brakes were pushed to the extreme, even beyond the limit, otherwise there would not have been this crash.

"Damn, Martin is too ruthless. Is it really necessary to fight so hard? It's already the last lap. Wouldn't it be nice to secure second place?"

"Who knows what's wrong with him? He fought so hard in the last lap. He wanted the ranking more than his life."

"Be kind in your words and see if Martin is okay first."

"..."

The voices of the fans were heard in the stands. The fans in the Turn 1 stands were startled by the crash, especially the stands facing the Turn 1 buffer zone.

After Martin fell off his bike, both he and his bike were rushing straight towards them, and it looked like they were going to crash directly into the stands.

Fortunately, the buffer zone was long enough and the car stopped after slowing down.

In fact, it’s not a big problem if you get hit. There is a few meters high barbed wire in front of the stands that can block all dangers, but the visual fear is real.

"I'm afraid Martin's vision at Turn 1 gave him the wrong distance feedback, which led to his crash. What a pity!"

In the ktmp room, Pedrosa analyzed the reasons for Martin's fall.

This kind of hard braking in a corner is normal, but to do so in the last lap, especially when the gap is 0.2, is probably just a case of being impulsive.

In addition to his impulsiveness, another point is probably that Martin's field of vision gave him wrong distance feedback.

There are differences in being impulsive. If the gap is 0.15, then it is worth a big fight. 0.2 is worth a small fight. Someone like Martin is too reckless.

Pedrosa estimated that the heavy braking at the corner probably gave him a wrong prediction of the distance.

This type of heavy braking corner is actually the easiest to cause people to misjudge distance.

His vision made him feel that the gap between him and Qin Chuan was very close, and this was the last lap, so he got carried away and tried too hard, which led to him falling.

Stoner nodded upon hearing this, not ruling out this possibility. He had just seen that in the last lap, Martin's team did not give an indication of the gap between him and Qin Chuan, but instead gave a symbol similar to an instruction.

If there was a gap, Martin might not choose to fight.

As a driver, Stoner understands what it means when vision gives wrong feedback.

The gap between drivers is indicated by seconds, such as one second or a few tenths of a second. These seconds represent different distances at different speeds.

For example, in the center of some slow curves, when the two cars are at the center of the slow curve and the speed is only 100 yards, then the difference of 0.2 seconds may mean the distance between the two cars is only half a car body, or even less than half a car body.

Because running at a speed of 0.2 seconds at a hundred yards can only cover a very short distance.

On the contrary, when your speed is 300 mph in the middle of a straight line, the gap between you and the car in front is 0.2. You will feel that the distance is very far, perhaps several car bodies away, and the distance is much longer than the center of a slow curve.

Because the car travels at a speed of 300 mph in 0.2 seconds, the distance it travels will be greater.

So when a driver is running a race, it seems that the gap between him and the driver in front of him always remains at 0.2, but in fact, the distance is always changing in his field of vision.

When they are on a straight line, the distance between them will be widened, and when they are on a curve, the distance between them will be shortened, but the gap always remains at 0.2.

The gap remains the same, the perspective changes.

This is why it is said that vision causes drivers to misjudge distances.

The red Moo Ring track is a typical example of this. After a straight line, there is a heavy braking corner. The distance between the front car and the rear car in the field of vision is shortened from far to near.

Especially Turn 1, which is on a small hill and the end of the straight line is an uphill slope, which affects the vision more than flat ground.

When driving on a long straight line, you feel that the car in front of you is still far away from you, but once the straight line ends and you brake hard to slow down, the distance between the two cars quickly shortens as the cars slow down. This feeling of shortening can easily lead to wrong judgment, making you feel that the car in front of you is really close and you may catch up with it if you try hard. The Red Moo Ring is such a track.

Martin's crash was certainly a bit reckless, but his poor vision also caused him to suffer a great loss due to his misjudgment.

On the field, the leading Qin Chuan did not slow down because of Martin's fall. Instead, he maintained a very high speed.

Qin Chuan heard the engine sound disappearing behind him and the sound of a car crashing with a bang, but he did not easily conclude that Martin had crashed. Instead, he continued to move forward steadily while maintaining his speed.

This is the basic quality of being a driver.

At this critical point in the championship, you can't judge the situation by hearing alone unless you see it with your own eyes.

After passing several bends in a row, until the exit of Turn Nine, Qin Chuan looked at the vehicle's central control and realized the situation of Martin behind him.

Martin really crashed his car, and there were only a few strings of letters on Qin Chuan's central console.

89, out.

89 is Martin's racing number.

Qin Chuan slowed down only after seeing this message, but he was already close to the finish line.

After passing the last three bends, Qin Chuan crossed the finish line first with a lead of 0.6 seconds. After crossing the finish line, Qin Chuan subconsciously looked up.

Right in front of the finish line is Turn 1. Qin Chuan guessed that Martin fell off the car here, and the engine sound disappeared at Turn 1.

Sure enough, Qin Chuan vaguely saw a purple-black racing car in the buffer zone of Turn 1 in the distance.

If nothing unexpected happens, this should be Martin's car.
