Manufacturing Empire in the Valley

Chapter 883 Overtaking for a Second in a Curve
Linda saw that the other party had been fooled, and immediately turned the steering wheel and stepped on the accelerator with her right foot. The seemingly clumsy body of the Pontiac GTO was like a light swallow, and it overtook the No. [-] car from the left.

The starting pole positions are arranged vertically, with odd numbers and odd numbers lined up in a row, and even numbers and even numbers lined up in a row. Linda is the fifth pole position, and there are only cars No. [-] and No. [-] directly in front of her.When she overtook these two cars, she was the driver with the odd pole position.

On Linda's right-hand side is the field of even-numbered pole position cars.

Aka's driving skills are really not covered. When Linda passed the No. [-] pole position from the fifth pole position, he actually completed the overtake from the No. [-] pole position to the No. [-] pole position.

There are a total of three cars No. [-], No. [-] and No. [-] on the route directly in front of Aka, one more than Linda, but the two almost completed the overtaking with the front and rear feet, and the gap is very small, so It can be seen how big the technical gap between professional racing drivers and amateur drivers is.

At the beginning of the race, there was a straight track about 600 meters long. The two of them only needed 400 meters to surpass the obstacles in front of them. The remaining 1000 or [-] meters were for the straight-line acceleration ability of the vehicles.

They all stepped on the gas pedal to the bottom at the same time, and amidst the huge roar of the engine, they widened the distance between the cars behind them.Seeing this, the other drivers could only scold their mothers loudly. Even if they all stepped on the accelerator to the bottom, they could not catch up with the two cars in front.

Linda is very confident in the performance of her car. She knows that her driving skills cannot compare with Aka, so she wants to take advantage of the opportunity of straight-line acceleration to throw him away.

The performance of this Pontiac GTO is better than that of the Chevrolet Camaro driven by Aka. When the two stepped on the accelerator at the same time, the Pontiac GTO immediately opened the distance from the Chevrolet Camaro. Some modified car enthusiasts standing on the side of the road watching the battle couldn't help but exclaimed when they saw this scene.

They are all veterans, and at a glance, the performance gap between the two cars can be seen. The performance of the Pontiac GTO is obviously better than that of the Chevrolet Camaro.

However, this is a race of nearly 130 kilometers. The performance of the car is not the only factor that determines the outcome. When the first corner comes, what needs to be competed is the cornering skills of the drivers.

The biggest difference between amateur racing drivers and professional racing drivers is that amateur drivers like to show off their driving skills, while professional drivers pay more attention to practical benefits.

For example, when cornering, amateur drivers always like to play drift. Although this looks very cool, it is not a good thing for the competition.

Drifting and cornering will increase the unnecessary wear of the tires and waste the kinetic energy of the vehicle. When the vehicle completes the cornering and drifting, the wheels will rub against the ground violently and slip in a short period of time in order to counteract the strong potential energy (centrifugal force). It takes two or three seconds to adjust.

If they are professional drivers, they will control the speed of the vehicle in the most reasonable range in advance based on their own experience. When the vehicle is cornering, they will choose the best route and use the most reasonable angle to offset the time when the car body is cornering. huge centrifugal force.

This is the most scientific way, and it is also the most practical way. The average amateur driver does not have this kind of technology.

Linda didn't have this kind of technology. She operated according to her own habits. Although she completed a beautiful drift, the skidding of the car body delayed her subsequent speed-up operation.

Aka was completely different. He reduced the speed in advance and chose the most scientific cutting curve.When the car body finished turning, he immediately stepped on the accelerator, the car body just slipped a little to offset the strong centrifugal force, and began to speed up crazily, and the speed of exiting the corner was much faster than Linda.

Fortunately, Linda gained enough lead by virtue of her straight-line acceleration advantage. When Aka cut into the corner, the Pontiac GTO had already eliminated the centrifugal force. Also speeding up crazily.With the superior performance of the vehicle, she maintained her leading position.

Next is a straight road of less than 500 meters, and then you will encounter the next corner.

Linda observed the situation of the Chevrolet Camaro behind her through the rearview mirror, and she found that after the first corner, the other party narrowed the distance between her and herself.If this distance is converted into time, the other party shortens the time difference with him by nearly one second.

It is absolutely terrifying to pass a corner to shorten the gap by one second. Linda couldn't help being surprised, and she was even more awed by the skills of professional racing drivers.

Although she admired professional racing drivers before, she still had the idea of ​​fighting in her heart.After seeing the excellent driving skills of professional racing drivers, she no longer had any thoughts of competing, and instead began to think about what to do so as not to lose so ugly.

Without much effort, Linda thought of a way. She planned to use her own car to block Aka's car. This approach is not illegal in the modified car competition, and it is a reasonable operation.

Since the technology of information transmission is not so advanced, the game can only be broadcast by observers arranged in advance on each road section.

Each of these observers is equipped with a walkie-talkie, and they transmit what they see to the radio station through the walkie-talkie, and then the radio station broadcasts the real-time broadcast to the people who come to watch the battle through the pre-installed loudspeaker.

These observers are all professionals, at least they can see ways that ordinary people can't see.

Niu Xiaoqiang stood next to the loudspeaker, listening to the audio live broadcast of the observers.When he heard about the situation at the first corner, he couldn't help but frowned, and muttered in a low voice: "As expected of a professional racing driver, his skills are really strong. Linda has no chance of winning."

He was overtaken by someone for a second at the first corner, and there are still so many corners to come. It would be foolish to say that Linda can maintain her current advantage to the finish line.

Kailinna echoed: "Yes, Aka caught up for a second before half the first lap, and there is still such a long race behind, the final result is unimaginable."

This race needs to run thirteen laps in total, with a total distance of nearly 130 kilometers. Unless Aka makes a major mistake, such as directly crashing the car and scrapping it, he will definitely win, and he will win the race with a relatively large advantage.

After finishing speaking, Kailinna looked at Niu Xiaoqiang: "It seems that you can only rely on yourself tonight."

Niu Xiaoqiang smiled wryly: "That's the only way to go."
