This is a strong showdown.
In terms of cars, McLaren F1, Salin S7 and Koenigsegg CCR are comparable in performance, with acceleration of about 100 km/h in about 3 seconds and the ultimate speed is above 360 km, which is a proof of the glory of the era. In actual tests, it is also comparable. In the 1/4 mile acceleration race, all three cars completed in about 11 seconds.
As for people, the first two have played professionals, and no matter what track they are, their strength will be stronger than ordinary people. An Feng just ran a lap with 1 minute and 40 seconds, and it was also very outstanding. At least if they had done their best, they might not be able to run out, and it was the first time that the sports car was on the court.
Such a comparison has become a standard duel between sports cars and drivers in the eyes of the audience. Even the news of the competition has been spread to the racing management side, and technicians were specially sent to provide services to them, checking the status of the vehicle, tires, fuel, etc.
Before the competition started, Duke suggested: "How about third place asking everyone to drink beer?"
Howard agreed: "Of course you have to have a good start! But if you change it, you have to drink with the second and third place, and there can only be one winner!"
"Bruce, where are you?" Duke looked at him.
"I have no problem, it's up to you to decide!" An Feng said, thinking that it's just a drink... Obviously, he is still very stressed when facing professional drivers.
Finally, the inspector confirmed that there were no other sports cars on the track, and the three cars were arranged neatly in front of the key line in turn, and all parties were ready. According to the requirements, the first person who ran 10 laps won the victory. The total schedule was very short, and it was expected that the slowest one would be completed in about 18 minutes, and a box of fuel was enough.
An Feng drank half a bottle of water, and racing was a very consuming exercise. The most typical one was F1. The dehydration level of running was enough to make ordinary people shock, while the drivers could still chat and laugh, which required particularly strict exercise, but An Feng was a strong person.
Put on a helmet, get back into the driver's seat, and the staff in uniform close the door for him. In order to meet the situation, a female car friend even went on a cool job, waving the black and white flags, adding a lot of highlights to the competition. Other car friends or spectators have long disappeared - they ran to occupy the commanding heights.
Although the track can be used for command lights, everyone still thinks the racing girl is more exciting. As the flag falls, the three cars roar at the same time, and a burst of white smoke emerges from the tires and the ground. They rushed out at the same time, starting to compete for the leading position after departure.
According to the performance of acceleration of 100 kilometers, the three cars were comparable, but during the acceleration period of 0-100 miles (161 kilometers), McLaren's advantages were fully demonstrated. An Feng stepped on the accelerator and stared at the rearview mirror. The two cars were pulled away by him and gained a temporary lead.
Then he was greeted with a small curve. It was very simple. He rushed over to the inside line, and the outside line at the corner exit appeared, and he still kept leading. He glanced at the rearview mirror, and the CCR and S7 were behind him. In fact, what was tested here was not technology, but the performance of the car.
In a straight line again, CCR had a full horsepower in the middle and rear sections, and had already passed by him side by side.
CCR took the lead in entering a large curve ahead.
Facing the curve, An Feng knew that the challenge had really begun. If you don’t want to be affected by centrifugal force when turning at high speed and lose control, you have to turn straight. That is, you need to focus on the racing skills of "outside-in-out". Before entering the curve, enter the curve from the outside, drive on the inside in the middle section, and after passing the top of the curve, cut back to the outside of the curve. If you draw, the racing movement is almost straight.
The leading CCR in front was stumped by this big corner. Although it was fast, the track performance was not as good as the F1 designed specifically to adapt to complex and volatile environments. The CCR was not advantageous on the corner, so after it rushed out of the corner, An Feng was already following him, and the speed was faster.
An Feng gritted his teeth and the opportunity was fleeting. He slammed the steering wheel. The sports car with excellent performance moved from right to left behind the CCR. He stepped on the accelerator and moved his right hand in gear. He used the high speed of the corner to overtake from its left, and regained the first position again before arriving on the second corner.
An Feng regained some confidence.
Perhaps it is because there are pursuers behind people who can make people run faster. For example, when there is a vicious dog chasing and biting behind people, the explosive power of people is always very strong. An Feng felt that the machine brain and biological brain rotated at the same time, and various data overlapped with the previous racing images, and analyzed the best situation.
"Slow the next turn, lower the gear..." An Feng's previous experience automatically emerged from his mind. He entered the corner here too quickly and was eager to control the direction. If the steering is too amplitude, he will bear a very large centrifugal force, resulting in frequent brakes and chaotic trajectory... So he braked into the corner first.
This time he entered slowly, stepped on the accelerator in the middle, and accelerated out of the corner... Passed perfectly! An Feng breathed a sigh of relief, and looked behind him. The S7 had surpassed the CCR and bit his butt tightly. He was worthy of being a professional driver. Even though he was already ahead, he was followed in an orderly manner, and the pressure was as high as a mountain.
In a straight line area, the powerful performance of F1 will give you strong confidence. After sprinting for a straight line, you will suddenly make another sharp turn that is close to 60 degrees, and it will also be accompanied by a downhill. There is no buffer zone on the side of the road - if the speed is too fast, it will definitely be a tragedy of rushing out and hitting the anti-collision tire.
An Feng's mind is full of this difficult bend. It is usually a pity to die when passing downhill bends at high speed - unless your car can ensure that four wheels are close to the ground, and a wheeled armored vehicle or tank weighing dozens of tons can be done, but this is a sports car known for its light weight. The most effective way is to lower the brakes to the second gear, cut into the curve from the inside line, and reach the top of the curve arc, find a good direction and then cut out the outside line... It is still safe to pass.
He glanced at the rearview mirror and disappeared!
The pride didn't come for too long. The orange-yellow S7, which was in dissipation, moved sideways quickly. The rear of the car swung twice, bit the F1's butt again, and it cut to the inside line. It looked like it was a high-speed corner just now, and it got a faster speed than Anfeng's turn - doing this is to overtake!
"Oh no!" An Feng stepped on the accelerator to the bottom, but the S7 was out of the cornering speed. If he accelerated at the same time, the original advantage was difficult to grasp. S7 quietly surpassed him, and An Feng stepped on the accelerator and was powerless to turn the situation around. He could only look at the taillights that flashed a few times when the S7 was turning.
Duke is very good. He has good control over the accelerator and rarely puts on the brakes.
After another bend, An Feng was already sweating profusely. He made several high-speed bends, bringing a lateral acceleration close to 2G. This means that the object that was originally weighing 10 kilograms would turn into 20 kilograms, and the helmet that suddenly became heavy on his head pressed against his neck, and his breathing was a little uncomfortable, but he quickly adjusted.
I glanced at the rearview mirror again. The car in front was not far away, but the car in the back was still chasing and beating him hard. It is difficult to be a dick.
After following the S7 for several consecutive bends, he encountered a spiral bend that caused him to have a blind spot in his vision. He went up the hill first, and he was mentally prepared to be overtaken. After all, he is an amateur, and he is definitely not as skilled as a professional driver. So he ran along the outside at a normal speed, trying to keep the body close to the ground as much as possible.
Duke, who was driving the S7 ahead, may be confident in his racing skills. Although he felt that the body was a little floating before entering the bend and would probably be unstable if he went downhill, he still ran along the center, hoping to quickly pass the curve with a height and a blind spot in a shorter straight line.
An Feng followed the S7 into the corner with a respectful attitude. Then... he increased his speed downhill and stepped on the accelerator. As a result, the steering was insufficient. The tire on one side of the car rushed out of the sand outside the track. The sound of brakes sounded, and An Feng was shocked... But he reacted quickly. When the CCR was about to overtake, he turned on the steering wheel and stepped on the accelerator. The black beast swayed the rear of the car, snatched the overtaking lane of the CCR. Roared out.
This time, the orange S7 appeared in the rearview mirror, but instead it was a gray-eating silver CCR.
An Feng laughed proudly. It was estimated that Duke had played too much in Nasca and could only walk small angle bends and not adapt to large-scale high and low drop steering (NASCA's track is a very simple ellipse).. After passing this most difficult corner, he easily crossed the finish line of the first lap.
On the straight road, F1 and CCR staged a straight-line acceleration duel again, leading with a small margin of F1, and turning steadily according to the memory and feel in the machine's brain. It was a bit cheating, and every time he could feel the satisfaction, as if he had saved the feeling and played it repeatedly.
In this way, his car feel will only get better and better.
...
In the tenth lap, the black McLaren was the leader, and the buzzing super high speed swept across the finish line. The speedometer showed that it had already reached a speed of 330 kilometers per hour when it crossed the line. It was crazy ahead of the second-place S7 three bodies and the third-place five bodies, winning!
When the three cars returned to the pit area, the audience surrounded them. One of the men in work clothes looked shocked: "So amazing! The owner of McLaren ran a lap of 1 minute and 34 seconds on lap 9. If you get a little faster, you can break the 1 minute and 33 seconds set by Dodge Viper!"
An Feng was also slightly surprised.
Duke, sweaty after getting off the car, asked with a smile: "Bruce, are you also a professional driver or a professional trained one?"
An Feng was modest: "I just like driving fast cars!"
No one believes that this technique is obviously not something that ordinary people can do, and An Feng has not solved the mystery. After all, it is a bit disgraceful to start a cheat... If you simply use your biological brain to drive, you will be sure to give them two of them the first lap, and you can only eat dust afterwards.
But the machine brain made him repeat one thing ten times. Every process and every feeling has experience, what to do, how much throttle, and the angle of steering... are almost the same. In this mode, it is difficult to defeat the cheater unless you are a professional driver familiar with this track.
So he won the cheating.
Duke and Howard were not confused. They came over and hugged An Feng, congratulated him, and fulfilled their promise: "We said that the second and third place were going to treat beer. Friends here could also come if they wanted to participate. Let's go to the nearby bar to have a good drink!"
In the nearby bar, three people and some of the car friends I just met arrived, which also led to the ordinary bar where more than a dozen eye-catching sports cars suddenly stopped at the door. Ferrari Lamborghini and these are already clichés, and the rare McLaren, Salin and Koenigseger were all here.
Everyone was drinking and talking about racing cars and sports cars.
Later I learned that Duke was the son of a team sponsor of NASCAR. He likes to play racing until now, but NASCAR's accident rate is not low and crashes are common. Rich businessmen are unwilling to let their children take risks, so he has only a few careers.
Duke said proudly: "JGR, Joe Gibbs, the second most valuable team, is in full swing this year, and there is hope to surpass the first!"
NASCAR is very popular in the United States, far more than the cold F1. At first, An Feng didn't understand what the fun was to run in an ellipse without technology. When he actually came to the scene, he realized that the roar brought by the top-notch engine was enough to burn the audience's blood!
After talking about cars, everyone talks about collections, etc., and everyone is present who can drive Ferrari and other sports cars. They are also from the wealthy class and have a lot of money on hand. Some people's collections at home are envious of An Feng. For example, the laferrari, which is rare to date, is simply drooling.
But later An Feng talked about the luxurious racing stadium he was building, and it was everyone's turn to drool.
Chapter completed!
