Chapter 368

Part of the interview with GP team after the race was for An Feng.

In addition to Cooper with a strong halo, An Feng's performance is also highly favored. This failure is not a technical weakness, but a strategic mistake. Anyone with discerning eyes knows that as long as the team adjusts, the excitement will return. But An Feng is very mysterious, and the team has not arranged any news interviews about him.

An Feng did not deliberately keep his mystery. He just didn't like to face the camera and reporters' interrogation. Moreover, in a country like the United States where white people are supreme, the protagonist that the news media most hopes to appear is white people. What kind of fun is he, a minority, joins in? It is this low-key mentality that makes him mysterious.

If it were other drivers, they would definitely not be able to violate the team's arrangements. At least they had to appear in public. Even if they stood for a minute and said a few words, An Feng was the boss. No one dared to arrange it for him, whether it was the event or the team. He was low-key, so the team would properly finish it for him.

The so-called extreme things will turn back, but mystery will attract more attention.

There are many people discussing him in the event forum. A few photos were posted. Some people recognized him as the husband of Liverpool's boss. He was a rich man, but now he is here to play racing? It's so strange. Rich man usually protects his life very well, but he didn't expect that he would have such a passionate side.

This impressed the car fans. If you are a driver who loves cars since childhood and has excellent driving skills and finally walks on this road, there is nothing to say, and there are countless examples of reality. But a rich man who has nothing to lack in anything comes to play racing, and this contrast will arouse curiosity.

Whether in the United States or Europe, when discussing the No. 2 driver in Las Vegas, he mentioned a few words of his identity as a billionaire. This contrast is very gossipy. Coupled with several photos of An Feng’s enthusiastic family and friends, a beautiful photo of his wife, a valuable report is released.

Since GP Energy went public, Anfeng's net worth has also increased, and it is currently estimated to be more than US$12 billion. Public data shows that he holds shares in GP, ​​not GP Energy. GP has self-operated projects. There are also GP Electronics, which is completely not weak, so the assets are doubled.

The asset issue that has been controversial for a while has been settled. Liverpool fans are very satisfied. No wonder the boss dares to spend a lot of money. No wonder he has not appeared recently. It turns out that he is participating in racing. In other words, Europe has also been a popular sport in addition to football.

Then some fans who like cars began to pay attention to An Feng.

When the event was broadcast globally, they also saw An Feng's outstanding performance in racing.

No matter what else, this technology is really good.

So before the third stop started, Anfeng's popularity was rising, and the popularity of the MC Challenge was also rising. The team airlifted the car to Texas, and Anfeng was still staying in California for vacation. There was nothing we could do about it. If he ran to the track to practice all day, it would be a bit... the feeling of being destined to be lonely for a lifetime.

Joanna didn't allow it. She asked An Feng to have enough rest. She asked the butler to find a masseur to massage and recuperate, and asked the chef to set a balanced diet. There were also reminders from the Internet that he had to abstinence a few days before the game and had to maintain strong energy and state.

An Feng understood: "It's just that I can hold a ball of fire to complete the game, and then carry you to bed?"

Joanna hit him: "Nonsense!"

...

An Feng came to Austin on Friday.

Before that, other drivers trained for more or less for a day or two, but he was late... Austin is a permanently fixed F1 track. It has long straights, high-speed bends and sharp bends. In addition, its height and low drops are very large. The two or three hundred kilometers of racing cars are up and downhill, and the center of gravity changes frequently.

Anfeng drove a few laps. Originally, the acceleration of two or three g was fierce enough, but when going downhill at high speed, it felt even stronger than riding a roller coaster. It is said that the roller coaster only costs about 3 g, but it is all-round, and the racing car only receives a horizontal acceleration, which feels weaker than the three-dimensional one.

An Feng felt that after adapting to this acceleration, he would be able to doze off after taking a roller coaster.

After several rounds of testing and debugging, the car focused on adjusting the suspension system this time, with the purpose of increasing downforce and replacing the brake system. This track has a moderate wear on the brakes. The racing motor has not been adjusted, because the traditional track is currently just right now.

After the pre-warming practice race on Saturday, the qualifying race was held on Sunday morning. This time in Austin, Anfeng's fan group is stronger because GP company's headquarters is in Austin, which is considered the second home court of GP team! Although you don't necessarily understand racing, it's the weekend and you'll come without having to go to work.

GP company also bought more than 3,000 tickets and gave them to employees for free.

The qualifying competition alone reached more than 50,000 spectators, and the afternoon main competition exceeded 70,000.

The scale of 70,000 people has reached the level of Indycars or F1. But there are also reasons why the ticket fees are much cheaper than other events, with small profits and fewer turnovers... What if it doesn't matter! There were thousands of GP teams shouting at the scene. An Feng did not disappoint everyone's expectations, and this time the qualifying race was the second fastest in a single lap.

The main race was opened with great anticipation, the camera swept across the audience, the flag of the GP team was flying everywhere, including enthusiastic real fans and GP company employees. Even if you don’t watch the competition, it’s okay to support the company’s team. After the brewing of the first two events, the atmosphere was very warm.

An Feng greeted Racing mm and got in and prepared to get in.

After a lap of warming up, five lights went out, all the racing cars started, and the battle made a comeback.

The Austin track is very challenging. After starting a short straight road, an emergency hairpin bend immediately came, and it was a climbing hill. It can reduce the speed of the car from 300 to 100, withstand at least 2.5g acceleration, and then usher in a high-speed downhill, and return to more than 300.

The first turn was very exciting. An Feng followed Cooper closely, and Chevrolet followed him. After easily passing the high-speed corner, the driver did not let the driver relax. Then he ushered in a series of high-speed corners, which was a huge test of endurance for both tires and drivers.

Following a hairpin bend, you will enter a high-speed running state, and then usher in a very tormenting series of hairpin bends, and finally a sharp bend at high speed to low speed. It is best to switch to a single motor to play rear-wheel drive. It is not easy to run a lap, and only Formula One can handle it more easily. It is a bit difficult for RVs.

Even during the competition, there was an accident of burning the motor. The motor in front of the car burned down. The rear-end car was rear-ended, and the yellow flag immediately lit up on the field.

The team engineers took advantage of the time when Huang Qi could not overtake and provided the driver with strategies.

The performance of racing cars is too strong, and there is a reason why they are afraid of the cylinder explosion in the equation. Racing cars also have to be careful to burn the motor, and braking and acceleration are too frequent, which can also lead to tire blowout. According to statistics, on average, every time the tires replaced, there are signs of peeling and damage.

But the difficulties are for everyone. Although An Feng's performance is not as exaggerated as the first stop, the complex curve still allows him to fully utilize his strength. If someone uses a computer to draw, he will find that his extremely accurate brakes and driving routes are almost as depicted by a computer!

In the end, An Feng lived up to expectations and won the runner-up by a slight gap behind the first place.

The first place is Cooper. He also adjusted from the unfavorable environment of the last racing adjustment, but An Feng was not jealous of him winning the first place. When An Feng was on vacation for three days, he was training hard, and when An Feng went back to rest in a few seconds, he was still summarizing his experience.

After the game, An Feng stood on the podium again, and after the end, he was as low-key as before.

All the curious reporters received no interviews or responses from him. In the interview with the GP team after the award ceremony, Cooper was present. The second driver An still had no trace. The team explained that the driver was busy with things and could not get any time. The reason for the explanation was that the driver was very far-fetched.

After the third stop was broadcast in Europe and the United States, the enthusiasm for this electric car race has already ignited.

When the car was running at high speed, the sharp and slender sounds of the plane were already imprinted in the ears of the audience, which also made the audience in front of the TV feel the charm of the unique sound. Afterwards, professionals analyzed that the motor should have an amplification device, otherwise the sound would not be so strong.

But as long as the competition is exciting enough and the sound can stimulate the audience, who cares?

The fourth stop is also being prepared for the intensive preparation. Since Austin is a bit far from Indianapolis, Maserati airlifts the race car through civil transport aircraft, which increases the cost, but compared with the popular events, the team's speed and status are advertisements and money!

...

The game was also transferred to Indiana on time.

Conventionally, when the driver is familiar with the track and practice, An Feng is still on vacation in Texas, and his wife is in good condition. In the end, she can't resist the temptation of the flower world. She goes to the couple's hotel to enjoy the romantic theme and roll the sheets, and it will only appear two days later.

An Feng feels worse than normal.

Just like his talent and extraordinary memory, An Feng only practiced on Saturdays and soon formed an impression and feeling of the track. Feelings are particularly important. The drivers need to adapt repeatedly to grasp it, while An Feng only needs to store it in his mind, and then it will be played back.

In the fleet strategy meeting, the engineers asked Cooper to continue first, while An Feng was competing for first place.

This sounds a bit contradictory, but there is data to support it - Anfeng's first stop is several parking spaces away from Cooper to cross the line, the second stop is not discussed in strategy mistakes, and the third stop is closer to Cooper to cross the line. In addition, there are some data from the practice competition and qualifying competition, Anfeng is improving at a terrifying speed.

It can be seen from the fact that he still won the runner-up after leaving home.

The game also attracted more than 60,000 spectators.

Indianapolis has held many F1 sessions, and Anfeng feels it is a miracle. With its modified elliptical track, it joins the traditional permanent track, and then leaves about 45% of the elliptical residue... To be honest, it is not much different from Las Vegas.

It’s just that Las Vegas has more ovals, and there are fewer ones here.

His racing car has also changed to two electric motors that adjust the middle and rear sections. This time, everyone no longer has to worry about the speed of the rear section being unable to increase... The qualifying Aifeng did not disappoint and won the third place. Before the start of the main race, it is usual for the fans to shake the GP team's flag for him.

An Feng was standing in the departure area, with a camera facing him, and his figure was also displayed on the big screen. The fan club in the audience stood up and waved the flag. It is said that the flag was customized by Wang Le, and there was also the team uniform... Last time he said that he had become an An Feng brain-dead fan, and the rhythm was really similar.

After some preparation, the drivers took the stage, and the rest of the staff left the starting area one after another, and the atmosphere of the competition came.

The signal lights go out and the event officially begins.

The track is easier than Austin. The only drawback is that the highway track has no buffer zone and is prone to car accidents... Its car accident Daming puts pressure on many drivers. Its lap in front seems a little cautious, but after An Feng overtakes neatly, others can't help it.

Due to the limitation of the ellipse, the track has 13 bends, with fewer high-speed bends, but the straight will be fast.

After returning from a lap, Anfeng used the last high-speed corner of the high-speed corner, reaching a speed of 310, followed by a one-kilometer straight road. Anfeng didn't know how fast others were, but his racing screen was already over the charts! It stopped at 362 and his eyes also created tunnel vision.

When a car is driving at high speed, the person's vision will become narrower. Generally, drivers cannot adapt after breaking through 300 and cannot see things clearly. Driving is basically based on feelings. Racing drivers can overcome it through training. An Feng has good physical fitness and strong adaptability. As a professional driver, he adapts to about 330.

But the speed is a bit terrifying now. The motor's horsepower exploded, and his vision became narrower and he couldn't see clearly what was around him. It lasted very shortly. He instantly started to loosen the electric door and braked with his left foot. It is worthy of praise that the elliptical curve is tilted, which provides downforce for high-speed cornering.

Even high-speed racing cars can pass smoothly.

This track is also the fastest sprint in the five races. There are 330 kers. After more than ten laps, the audience gained great excitement, and the racers also enjoyed the fun of letting go of speed. After entering the traditional track, it became a fierce section for rankings, and An Feng's performance did not disappoint everyone.

After several overtakes, An Feng failed to complete the championship and overtake, and the car crossed the line side by side with Cooper, but left a gap.

The champion is still Cooper. In terms of driver level, some people say that DTM is used to train players for F1, and F1, as the top event, naturally cannot be underestimated. As for An Feng, it is also a combination of strength, cheating and talent, and win second again.

It just felt like a thousand-year-old second. An Feng was considering whether to discuss with Cooper. The terminal station also won me the first place... But just thinking about it, the racer was born for honor and pretended to be looked down upon. Finally, he went to the podium and continued to fight champagne battles with the drivers and the audience.

This time I pay less attention to An Feng.

Because after the fourth stop, the championship has been generated. According to the points, Cooper won three championships and one runner-up. Even if he missed the last game, he was the champion of total points. The first place was firmly in place. Everyone was busy interviewing him and the GP team.

The championship is settled, and the runner-up and third place are still suspense.

The candidates are between An Feng and Chevrolet drivers. Their points gap is not big. The ranking of the last stop is very important. If An Feng wins second, he will be the runner-up. If the Chevrolet driver wins second, the runner-up trophy will leave An Feng and he will only be the third.
