Reborn F1 Forza Motorsport

Chapter 12 Running-in of the new car

Time passed quickly, and on Monday, Yang Hao, who was training alone in the morning, was stopped by the technician.

"Yang, your new car has arrived. It's parked in the maintenance area. Follow me to have a look."

Excited and looking forward to it, Yang Hao followed the technician to the maintenance area.

A brand new go-kart was parked conspicuously in the middle.A brand new go-kart without any stickers.

Many people are curious about F1 and the stickers on the car.In fact, these are the names of the sponsors that the drivers themselves found.

All sponsors will be posted on the driver's own car.And the size and position of the label will be determined according to the amount of sponsorship.

Of course, the same is true for the racing suit. If no one sponsors, then his racing suit is an ordinary racing suit.

Therefore, karting has always been an extremely expensive sport.Without sponsors, it is impossible to maintain the expenses of drivers and teams.

It can be seen that today's F1 needs more opportunities and money.The fathers of many talented drivers are all big bosses worth over [-] million yuan.

For example, last year's Ma Zeping of the Haas team, although his character was really bad, couldn't stand his father buying the team for him to get the F1 driver's seat.

It's hard to see drivers like Hamilton, Senna, and Schumacher who have achieved F1 completely by talent and hard work.

The foreign exchange ratio in 95 was amazing. It can be said that it is not a big problem for Yang Hao's racing car to buy a house.

Therefore, Yang Hao's brand new go-kart is just the beginning.With the improvement of the annual level and the start of the European Championship, more capital investment will be added.

Fortunately, Yang Hao's father is an early investment who is capable of cultivating children.

"Yang, here is your racing suit and helmet. If you have sponsorship, you can stick it in a conspicuous position in front of you."

"Is there a required size?"

"No. Yang, do you already have sponsorship?" The technician was quite surprised, because no one would pay attention to karting drivers at Min's stage.

"My father's company, I think I can help my father promote it."

The technician suddenly realized that there was a mine at home, no wonder Yang Hao came here from the east to learn karting instead of studying.

"can."

"Train your child well, I believe in you."

After the technician finished speaking, he left, and Yang Hao couldn't wait to get on the go-kart and feel it.

It is indeed very different from the go-karts provided by the academy, and the seat is just right for Yang Hao's figure.

There is no feeling of a bigger circle or a smaller circle, and the distance between the hand and the steering wheel is just right, so you don't need to straighten your arms to reach it.

Hop out of the car and fill up the gas.I drove out from the maintenance area to feel the power of the new racing car.

New cars always have some grip issues, and when the speed comes up, it feels like the front of the car is floating.

This is the degree of running-in that the driver needs to have with the car. The higher the degree of running-in, the better he can know where the critical point of the car is, which is the so-called top speed.

The running-in of the brake tires is also very important, so all cars will be required to warm up the tires before the F1 race.

Go-karts also need to warm up the clutch and tires.Otherwise, the cold tires and the racing car will cause serious failure or even a car accident after high-speed braking.

After one lap, Yang Hao got used to the rhythm of the car and the strength of the brakes.

Karting and F1 brakes are very particular, and the grasp of the brakes can even affect the final champion.

If the brakes are heavy, it is easy to cause the vehicle to skid, and the brakes are light and there is no deceleration and turning.

Therefore, drivers often use continuous light pedaling and quick gear shifting to ensure that they enter large corners without losing speed.

Yang Hao, who has fully mastered the racing car, came indoors to find a technician to discuss whether it is possible to practice the race.

"Mechanic, I think I have adapted to the new car, but for the rest of the time I think I need a training session to test and adapt to the race environment."

"No problem, Yang. You go to prepare first, do you need to start from pole position or at the end."

Starting at the end of the grid is always a very challenging time.He needs to be able to have an unyielding spirit to overcome the huge pressure brought by the tail of the crane.

"I want to try for pole and then try for the finish."

"Okay, you go get ready first, I'll bring the kids with me in a while."

Not long after, Yang Hao, who was already waiting on the pole position, saw his friends appearing behind him one after another.

"According to the ranking of the indoor results just now."

The technician broadcasts in the monitoring room.

"Look at the indicator light, I won't report the start, and grasp the timing of the clutch release."

Yang Hao, who was already familiar with the track, was more steady than usual and released the clutch when the green light was stuck.

Therefore, the gap in stature has been widened since the start.

Yang Hao also became more proficient entering the first turn.

Turns [-], [-] and [-] are faster and simpler.By the time of the fifth turn, there was already a U-turn gap with the children.

The more the technician looked in the monitoring room, the more he felt that his vision was so sharp that he was able to spot two talented drivers, Hamilton and Yang Hao.

The five-lap time trial was very fast, and Yang Hao was able to lap the excellent performance of the two drivers.

Not bad for a karting driver new to the car.

When I returned to the maintenance area to replenish oil, the technician came up and said a word.

"Thank you for choosing our academy. It is an honor for our academy to have you here."

"Uh, the technician has also worked hard." Yang Hao replied to this sentence.

"I have seen that none of the players who participated in the simulated training here on Saturday could surpass your performance. And in the mid group that took place two days ago, there was none."

"Is there a match yesterday and the day before yesterday?"

"Yes, it's been there since last week. Last week was the max group."

"Is Lewis also in?"

"He just started this week like you, but he's in the national championships."

"You still have some distance to catch up with him, but I believe it won't be long."

"If you perform more than one group in the min group or your results meet the entry requirements of the max group, you may even hope to enter the max group directly."

"I will be a technician."

"According to the ranking just now, the ranking starts from pole position, and the end is vacant. Yang will be the end."

The technician began to direct the next training match.

When Yang Hao came to the end, he saw the car in front and had many thoughts. He wondered if he could complete the miracle from the end to No.1.

Still starting at the green light, Yang Hao obviously started faster than the two in front, but almost hit the rear of the car in front.

After adapting to the straight line, I started trying to overtake at the first turn.

Soon, Yang Hao entered the top five when he came to the U-turn at Turn [-].

The offense and defense of Turn [-] really gave Yang Hao some headaches, the car in front kept blocking his way into the turn, and almost squeezed Yang Hao onto the lawn when he exited the turn.

Fortunately, Yang Hao had a better control over the car, and when he entered the first turn of the second lap, he overtook the kid just now.

On the third lap, they still couldn't surpass No.2 and No.1. It seemed that Yang Hao was brought into their driving rhythm by them.

The technician looked a little worried.

It wasn't until the fifth lap that Yang Hao surpassed and became No.1 because of the mistakes of the top two.

After the training match, the technician came to find Yang Hao alone.

"Yang, your backward overtaking ability has a big gap with Lewis. He was able to return to the No.1 position on the fourth lap, and you seemed to be brought into their rhythm."

"Well, as soon as I overtook him he started to speed up and just got into his rhythm."

The technician thought for a while before taking the topic.

"You need to focus on your own rhythm instead of watching the opponent. The most important thing about offense and defense is that you attack instead of being led into defense by him."

"I think you need to practice hard in the next four days, after all you can't get pole position at every track."
