Chapter 259 The race begins
After a famous driver took the initiative to end the competition for Q3, there are only two cars still running on the track. Although the two cars are stuck in the distance, Luo started off more than ten seconds later, thus falling behind by a quarter of a lap. However, in the final lap speed rankings, the two cars rose alternately.
After breaking through 55 seconds, each improvement of the two of them was only a few tenths of a millisecond, but they were still increasing their speed.
"Hey! Aren't you trying to persuade him?" Okita Kai looked at the Pegasus No. 1 machine that was getting faster and faster, and couldn't help but turn around and ask Ferrari's technical team why they worked so hard in qualifying. , is not a rational choice.
“We can’t persuade him.” Ferrari’s technical team leader said calmly.
"Enzo! Keep speeding up!" Carlo, who was experiencing huge acceleration in the cockpit, said expressionlessly to the AI named after his founder.
"Understood, but Carlo, the acceleration you are currently experiencing has reached its limit." The AI reminded Carlo while assisting Carlo in speeding up.
“I understand, but this record can only belong to Ferrari!” Carlo gritted his teeth with bloodshot eyes under his helmet.
If the lap record of this track had been kept by another team, Carlo might not have cared so much about the pole position, but this record had been kept by Ferrari before. So, in In this new era of formula racing, he also wants to continue Ferrari's glory.
When Ferrari pulled him out of the abyss, he regarded this team as his home. Although the technical team of this team had been cheating him since he was 11 years old, he has always regarded this team as his home. A Ferrari driver is so proud that he never thinks of leaving.
"Haha, I haven't been so enthusiastic for a long time!" Xiao Hao also laughed wildly.
"Haojun, I have detected that your heartbeat is a little fast. Can you still withstand the current acceleration?" Magnum asked at this time.
"That's natural! How far can this go!" Xiao Hao responded.
“Next, I will strengthen monitoring of your physical condition. However, if possible, please stay in this state for a while. I can feel that your ability to control the Charge is improving. "Magnum said.
“Is that so? I feel like it’s getting easier and smoother!” Xiao Hao said.
The two of them refreshed their speed in circles, making people overwhelmed.
“Aren’t they over yet?” Lin Shu had taken a shower and changed clothes by now, and the fight between Xiao Hao and Carlo was still going on.
"How about letting Xiao Hao come back early? There is no need to work so hard in a qualifying match." Chen Hewang said.
"Don't!" Just when Xiaolie made some movements, J stopped him. "It is not difficult to see from the data uploaded by Magnum that Xiaohao's sense of control of the Charge is improving rapidly. For For Xiao Hao, this is a rare opportunity. "
"Really?" Lin De walked to J's side and looked at the data sent back by Magnum. This reaction was like a precursor to entering the realm of zero. ah.
...
"There are still three minutes left! Who is the first pole position in the history of GPX!" Li Bing stared intently at the two people on the ranking list who were rising alternately.
"This should be the last lap for the two of them! After completing it, there is not enough time left for them to run another lap."
"Xing Mahao! 54.375! Card. If Luo wants to get the pole position in this race, he has to improve his lap time by at least 0.06 seconds!"
"Complete! 54,374" Li Bing was excited! shouted, "He really did it! He left the lap record of this field in Ferrari! At the same time, he won the first pole position of this priceless GPX!"
"Damn it!" On the way back to the maintenance area, Xiao Hao, who received the news, patted the steering wheel unhappily.
"Haojun, you were a little careless on the third lap. You couldn't maintain the speed in that lap, so you gave your opponent a chance." Magnum said, having been with Xiaohao for a long time, the AI also knows This guy has a bad temper. It would be better to comfort him at this time than to help him review it directly.
"I will let him know how good I am in the main game tomorrow!" Xiao Hao said, "By the way, how is Ah's side?"
"According to the data uploaded by Silver , Mr. Lin only used about 70% of his strength in qualifying. Unlike you, he needs to conserve his energy in qualifying to cope with tomorrow's race," Magnum said.
"Haha, that guy is so stupid! Let him not exercise for these years!" Xiao Hao said happily.
Magnum:...
"Huh? Why don't you speak?" Xiao Hao asked curiously, knowing that when he usually complained, Magnum would praise him.
Magnum: Does he dare to speak? Silver was staring at him now.
“I can hear it!” Lin Tie said with a dark face on the team’s radio.
Although he really wanted to get the pole position, if he didn't get it, Xiao Hao had no particular obsession and quickly accepted the result.
As for Carlo, he returned to the pit area and got out of the car with the help of the staff. He was greeted by warm applause and cheers from the audience.
In the eyes of countless iron Buddha temples, Carlo is their pride!
The starting order for tomorrow’s race has been decided.
Carlo started first, followed by Hoshimahao, then Hijikata Rei, then McLaren's No. 1 driver, Red Bull Racing's No. 1 driver, Mihail, Okita Kai..., Lin Bo is not far behind Nie Ming who was eliminated in Q3, 11th and 13th.
“Tomorrow’s main game is really getting more and more exciting!” Li Bing said in the studio after the broadcast ended.
"That's right, in today's qualifying match, although the Tai Chi Warrior Dragon that we had been waiting for for a long time chose to conserve its strength, we also saw Xing Mahao, Carlo, and Mihail, who have previously shined in WGP. The wonderful performance of the drivers in the new field also greatly increases the excitement of tomorrow's race!" said Brother Ran.
“So, let us look forward to tomorrow’s main game together. At the same time, we will also invite a special guest to the Five Star Sports studio for tomorrow’s game. See you at 14:00 tomorrow. Let’s go!” Fei Ge said.
......Sunday, the race day.
After the warm-up of the previous two days, the GPX event has also shown the potential to explode. There are still two hours before the start of the game, but in the stands of the Shanghai International Circuit But it was already full of people, and the tickets for the main race had already fetched a sky-high price in the hands of scalpers, but it still couldn't stop the enthusiasm of the audience to come and witness the first GPX championship.
"The competition is already heating up. Whether we can succeed depends on today." Fujiyoshi said while sitting on a custom-made monkey car while waving a paper fan.
When I originally knew that Lin Tie was planning to run this event, Fujiyoshi was prepared to accompany Lin Tie to go crazy even if he lost money. After all, the Three Kingdoms Group has made a lot of money in cooperation with Lin Technology over the years. With lots of money and Fujiyoshi's love for racing, it's not a big deal to lose a little money, but I didn't expect that Lin De came up with a lot of good things. This event suddenly became popular, and a lot of sponsors have already We are waiting and watching. As long as this first game gets off to a good start, GPX can completely replace F1 and become the most popular racing championship, and then they can also make a lot of money.
At this time, Xiao Lie was already directing the technical team to get busy.
Today's race, in addition to the two drivers in the team, is also a brand new test for the technical team of their new team. Therefore, Xiaolie checked repeatedly before the race to ensure Nip any possibility of problems in the bud.
As time passed little by little, the live broadcast of Five Star Sports also began.
"Welcome to the 2007 GPX Racing Championship Shanghai Station! I am Brother Bing!" Li Bing started the race in high spirits.
“I am Brother Fei.”
“I am Brother Ran.”
“At the same time, we invited a special guest to the Five Star Sports live broadcast today Time." The camera turned and a tall old man appeared in the camera.
“Hello everyone, I am the commentator Zhang Weiping!” The old man waved and greeted the audience.
The audience who watched the live broadcast laughed when they saw this figure. In the first two WGP games that year, this old man was the mainstay on the commentary stage. However, after the first-generation Chinese Dragon Team retired, the professional players trained by CCTV Mini racing commentary has also grown up, and the old man has faded out of the sight of racing fans and returned to his familiar field of basketball commentary. Today, the audience was very surprised to see him sitting on the commentary stage of a racing event again.
“Let us welcome Director Zhang!” Li Bing said.
Before the game started, several commentators also started chatting.
"Director Zhang has probably not commented on a racing event for a long time. Whether it is WGP or other events, how does it feel to sit on the racing commentary stage again now." Li Bing asked with a smile.
“It feels pretty good.” Director Zhang smiled.
"So, what made Director Zhang accept our invitation?" Fei Ge asked.
"Does that need to be said? Lin Biao's first game in a new field, how can it be without me, the number one Lin Biao in China!" Director Zhang said, it can be seen that there is no Sitting at the CCTV commentary desk, the old man completely relaxed.
“However, the familiar faces among this group of players are still very missed.” Director Zhang said.
"So, Director Zhang, which driver do you like today?" Fei Ge asked, but after he finished speaking, he realized that he seemed to have asked nonsense. This is the famous Chinese number one Lin Chui. , which driver do you think he can be optimistic about?
“Haha, as for the driver I am optimistic about, I am naturally optimistic about Lin Dai.” Director Zhang said, “Although he and Tai Chi Zhan Long seemed to be conserving their strength in yesterday’s qualifying match, this is not the case. It just shows that he has the confidence and confidence to do this!”
"The race is about to start. All the drivers are ready at the starting point. The referee indicated that the warm-up lap can begin."
All the drivers set off one after another. After running a lap along the track, they started at the starting point according to yesterday's instructions. The rankings are in order.
As the five traffic lights in front of everyone lit up one after another, the race began, and everyone stepped on the accelerator immediately.
Carlo, who was in the pole position, and Xiao Hao, who was in second place, continued the fierce battle in yesterday's qualifying at the beginning of the game. Tornado Charge and Tianma rushed towards the third place without giving up. A bend.
Behind them, Hijikata Rei, Okitakai and Mihail followed closely, waiting for the flaws in the front to be exposed due to the chase.
"Aurora! Let's catch up!" Nie Ming kicked the accelerator, and the Aurora's engine roared forward. Nie Ming, who was dropped to tenth in the starting order due to an accident yesterday, was naturally dissatisfied and planned to sprint to catch up at the beginning. After being transformed by software engineers overnight, Aurora has also unlocked many restrictions. Nie Ming, who is able to do whatever he wants, naturally plans to do something big.
"Hey! Nie Ming of the Arctic Fox team in the rear group started to exert his strength first. It seems that he regretted missing the opportunity yesterday and plans to perform well today." Fei Ge said.
"This kid hasn't changed at all after all these years." Director Zhang said, "Yesterday he became the first GPX driver to break out of the track."
"That's right. "Li Bing nodded, "But this also illustrates the safety of CF racing cars in the new era. According to past experience in formula racing, if Nie Ming rushed out of the track at the speed he did yesterday, he would at least have to rest in bed. The injury lasted for half a year, but not only was he fine yesterday, but after simple repairs, the car did not delay today's game."
"Let me just say," Director Zhang said, "I'm not optimistic about this. Because he drives unreasonably, he will rush around and get chased by others when he makes a mistake.”
"Oh? Player Lin De has also begun to speed up!" Brother Ran noticed at this time that Tai Chi Zhanlong was accelerating while deftly avoiding other riders blocking the front, and his ranking improved by several places in a few breaths. , we will soon catch up with Nie Ming.
“Good! You are worthy of being our Chinese captain!” Director Zhang said excitedly, “It seems that Lin Dai’s driving skills are also very good. At the same time, the Tai Chi Dragon also continues its success in WGP. The name of the car that has set countless records on the field!"
Brother Fei:...
Brother Ran:...
The old commentator made no secret of this! The double-standard speech was an eye-opener for both of them, but as an old partner, Li Bing was already used to it.
"Right now, Tai Chi Dragon and Aurora are basically going hand in hand. They will soon complete the first lap, but if they want to overtake, it may not be that simple. What stands in front of them is the former F1 Williams team. Driver No. 1, Rozier! This driver is 26 years old this year. He is considered to be one of the older players in this year's GPX. He has also won a single race in F1 before. Among all the F1 drivers, he is considered to be one of the better adapted to the cooperation with AI."
"Huh, it's not that easy for the little guys to surpass me!" Rozier gritted his teeth and increased his speed. , got stuck on the best line of consecutive turns on the second lap.
