Chapter 268 The King of Support
After Carlo and Okitahai set off, Xiaohao also planned to start, but the two cars of the Arctic Fox team started first, which was different from Ferrari's alternating start in tandem. , the two Auroras set off at the same time.
"Do two cars from the same team start at the same time? This is rare." Li Bing asked curiously, "Is there any special running method?"
"Damn it! He's ahead, don't even think about running away!" Xiao Hao also launched a whirlwind charge to catch up.
Seeing this, Lin De did not start the car in a hurry. After three more people set off one after another, he found an opportunity and rushed out.
After all the players in Q3 started, the situation on the scene was quite peaceful. They were just speeding up and setting lap times. Except for Xiao Hao, Nie Ming and Yuri, there was no chasing behavior elsewhere.
So, the camera also focused on the three cars entangled together.
Xiao Hao's whirlwind charge continued to speed up, putting pressure on Nie Ming and Yuri's Aurora, which were lined up together.
After one lap, the speed of the three cars exceeded 450, and then the three of them entered the continuous hairpin turns on the track.
“This is the fastest lap time so far, but wouldn’t it be a little unsafe to enter this kind of corner at this speed?” Li Bing was a little curious. In the previous track, even the one in Shanghai The series of curves in the F1 track are actually not very difficult. At least during qualifying, except for Nie Ming who rushed out of the track due to the interference of the AI that has not yet been perfected, everyone else was able to complete the course smoothly. But on this track, five drivers were eliminated in the first two rounds of qualifying alone.
What's more important is that the names of the drivers going for this corner are Xing Mahao and Nie Ming. Coupled with the Cyclone Charge model, these BUFFs add up and it seems that both of them will be eliminated in the next second.
However, what shocked some viewers was that both of them performed perfectly in this corner. Both the Tornado Charge and the Aurora passed with textbook cornering skills without any unnecessary maneuvers. this corner.
"Beautiful! He is indeed a driver who can win the F2 season championship. His basic skills are so solid. He passed this corner impeccably, and his opponent was no worse at all." Li Bing praised.
At this time, there were also barrages floating in the live broadcast room.
【Do you think this corner is a whirlwind charge? 】
Li Bing also explained patiently after seeing this comment: "This friend may be an audience who has paid attention to WGP before but has not paid much attention to other racing fields. The cornering performance of the mini car is determined by the selection of parts before the game. Yes, but the real racing field is more about the driver's skills, and what can I say about Xing Mahao's skills? He is one of the top drivers on this earth. If GPX hadn't been born, After he won the unprecedented F2 season championship, all F1 teams around the world would treat him as a guest. That is to say, F1 does not have a draft mechanism like the NBA. Otherwise, it can be said that almost all F1 teams that have no hope of competing for the championship will. He spent a whole season just for his signing rights. "
"So for him, it's not a big problem to pass this corner at high speed with the assistance of AI, it's just not very safe, but now he has. They are obviously in love with Nie Mingmao, and both of them like to mess around, so they both use this extreme running method."
"However, what is surprising is that You. Li also kept up with the speed of the two. Although his cornering method was not as extreme as the two of them, and he chose to slow down steadily to corner, he still succeeded in catching up with the two of them with a short push after passing."
The lap time ranking list was refreshed, and Nie Ming and Xiao Hao came to the first place together. The gap between the two was so small that it was difficult for a machine to calculate.
On the third lap, the two people on the bar increased their speed again based on the previous lap. This time Nie Ming also used his propeller to try to get rid of Xiao Hao.
However, after turning on the smart spoiler, Tornado Charge was able to keep up with the advancing Aurora with the assistance of airflow.
The lap times of the two were refreshed again, and Yuri's ranking also reached third place.
Seeing this, the other drivers still on the field simply drove their cars back to the pit area one after another, leaving the track to the three of them.
Originally, Lin Tai planned to see if he could compete for the pole position in this game for fun, but in the current situation, if he wanted to compete for the pole position, he might enter the realm of zero in a hurry. The exhausted dog was carried back on a stretcher, thus affecting tomorrow's race. It was totally worth the loss.
At the same time, Michael and Carlo seemed to have the same plan.
After returning to the pit area and getting off the car, they turned around and stared at the broadcast screen intently. Unlike most viewers, their eyes were not on Xiao Hao and Nie Ming, who were competing at full speed. Instead, they were looking carefully. Staring at Yuri's Aurora No. 2 vehicle.
There is nothing interesting about Xiao Hao and Nie Ming's mid-door sniper fight. I have long been tired of seeing this scene from WGP and GPX. On the contrary, it is what changes Yuri's joining can bring that is the most attractive to them. Things to care about.
This is also the reason why several people rushed back to the pit area to watch the game after giving up on qualifying. Especially when the person who pressured the Arctic Fox team was Xiao Hao, this information was tantamount to whoring. of.
After Mihai, Carlo and Lin Dai looked around twice, their expressions became serious. Even though Yuri was hanging silently behind them, everyone noticed His position selection is very particular. Currently, Aurora's No. 2 car has been staying outside the battle group of Tornado Charge and Aurora's No. 1 car. It seems that he has no intention of getting involved, but it has remained within one. Nie Ming's position can be supported by just stepping on the accelerator, and from the time everyone paid attention to him until now, he has never lost his position for a second.
"It is not difficult to catch up with the two of them, but it is not that easy for the consciousness that has always maintained this position." Carlo frowned.
"He is worthy of being the person who was able to bring a team with mediocre racing performance to the top of the rankings with one person assisting four people before," Mihail said.
In the two WGPs that Yuri participated in, he almost made it to the finals in the first one, and even reached the finals in the second one. The Russian team’s Omega may be the most performant among them. It's a bad car. Compared with the cars of many teams, the numerical value is much worse. However, Yuri was able to rely on one person to assist four people to bring this team into the finals and compete with the Korean team's gang. The performance of the car ranked at the forefront of the conference was at the bottom for two consecutive years. In the third year, it was directly replaced by the brothers from the north. It was a world of difference for the smart car.
Soon, Xiao Hao and Nie Ming's speed exceeded the 500 mark, and they entered the pseudo-zero field directly in their excitement. Both brothers were bound to win the pole position in this race. !
Lin Dai frowned. If he entered the continuous hairpin turns at this speed, even if Lin Dai and others could enter the real zero realm, the probability of passing would not be too high.
"It's almost time to decide the winner." Carlo said.
Sure enough, as several people expected, after passing the first hairpin turn, both their cars showed signs of losing control. Both their cars lost their balance under the huge centrifugal force. At this moment, Aurora Vehicle No. 2, which had been following behind, suddenly started its thrusters and passed Nie Ming's Aurora Vehicle No. 1 from the side. It used airflow to make up for the difference in resistance to centrifugal force. Some of the force pulled it back onto the track, and then decisively moved out of the way, allowing Nie Ming's car to pass safely.
"Holy shit! Real or fake?" Li Bing cursed when he saw this, and everyone in the maintenance areas of other teams had the same reaction. .
With this move, even the three people present who have been able to stably enter the Zero Realm dare not guarantee that they will be able to do it, because this not only requires extremely high technology and judgment, but more importantly , the awareness to analyze what happened to his teammate's car in an instant and react to it is something that few people really can't do.
The Aurora was pulled back to the track, but the Cyclone Charge was not so lucky. After losing control, it was thrown off the track diagonally.
"Haha, I won!" Nie Ming roared excitedly.
“Damn! It’s not fair!” After the whirlwind charge stopped, Xiao Hao patted the steering wheel in frustration. It was obviously a 1V1 battle between men, but Nie Ming brought an assistant who could make the final decision. How is this going to work? !
"Nie Ming, calm down. Only after completing this lap can you really get the pole position." Yuri's voice rang in the Arctic Fox team's team channel, reminding Nie who was a little distracted because of his victory over Xiao Hao. Ming calmed down and accepted the game.
"I know! Thanks to you this time!" Nie Ming replied.
As the Aurora car No. 1 completed the race and set a new lap time, the qualifying session officially came to an end, and the starting order for tomorrow’s race was also announced.
Nie Ming got his wish and won the pole position for this race. After Yuri accelerated to pull Nie Ming out of control, he had to slow down to stabilize his car, so he was unable to surpass him in lap time. Xiao Hao's performance in the last lap was only ranked third.
The fourth pick belongs to McLaren's new driver, Muller, the runner-up of the third WGP.
The fifth pick was taken by Lin Bo. This pick is already Lin Bo’s best qualifying result since the start of GPX.
The sixth to ninth picks belong to Michael, Carlo, Okita Kai, and Hijikata Rei.
The tenth pick belongs to a driver entering Q3 for the first time, the No. 1 driver LaMelo from Red Bull Racing.
After the qualifying round, the Arctic Fox team attracted the attention of the world because of Yuri's miraculous performance.
After both Auroras entered the maintenance station, the media swarmed in and directly blocked the Arctic Fox team’s maintenance station.
As technical director and team leader, Vatanen also had to step forward.
"Yes, that's right, player Yuri is our secret weapon. We were delayed a little for some reasons before, but it's only the third stop now, so it's not too late." Vatanen faced The media appeared very calm.
"What? The driver's license of Yuri you found is only for a walking tractor? It's not important. Didn't you all see his performance?"
"I believe that he can create new glory together with player Nie Ming. As for Vladimir, I personally wish him all the best in his future career."
Compared to the happy life of the Arctic Fox team , Xiao Hao, who lost to Nie Ming, was not very happy. He kept pouting after returning to the pit. He originally thought that after installing the smart spoiler, he could win the pole position, but Nie Ming But he doesn't talk about martial arts and plays two-on-one with him.
"Okay, we can't find out much if we start with the second pick." Lin De handed him a bottle of drink and said, "What's more important is that you tested out their trump card."
"Ah? Can you do that just now?" Xiao Hao thought about it after taking the drink, but still couldn't swallow it.
"If you let me try it a dozen times, maybe I can succeed once." Lin Shu shrugged and said truthfully.
"Can't even do the Zero Realm?" Xiao Hao asked in disbelief. In his impression, the Zero Realm, which he was unable to enter due to lack of mental strength, should be omnipotent.
"You think the Zero Realm is omnipotent?" Lin Bo said angrily, "The Zero Realm can probably allow me to pass that set of curves with your previous corner entry speed, but... I can't learn what he did, so you have to do it yourself if you want to regain your position."
"With Yuri's help, Nie Ming could not enter the Zero Realm in this game. , I should be qualified to compete with you," Huo Yuesheng analyzed at this time.
“According to the descriptions of the two of you, the biggest difference between the real realm of zero mentioned by Ah Shu and the state close to that realm that you, Xiaohao, can currently control, should be what Ah Shu said. The scene that can be seen in the next two seconds at the intersection of all the information, Nie Ming's current situation should be similar to yours," Chen Hewang said, "But with Yuri joining, even if Nie Ming can't see the future like you. You can also rely on your sharp five senses after briefly breaking through the limit to keep up with your rhythm. With the help of Yuri, he can probably make one or two mistakes. In this way, can you see The future doesn’t seem to be that critical anymore?”
“Yes, that’s pretty much the current situation.” Lin Dai nodded, “But besides Nie Ming, that little guy from McLaren is also worth it. Pay attention.”
"It feels really strange to hear you say that he is a little guy." Gao Xiaoman complained at this time, "But it's true, that kid came out with the fourth pick without making a sound. I feel like he It seems like there is still energy left?”
“That kid is the same age as Haoshu. What’s wrong with me calling him?” Lin De said, “After I retired, Haoshu mentioned it to me. He, this little guy caused a lot of trouble for Haoki. I heard that in the finals, he defeated Haoki in a duel. Haoki and Retsuya relied on their scores to win. The next championship.”
“But that’s fine, racing is more fun when there are more opponents.” Lin Tie glanced at the standings and showed a knowing smile.
