Reborn F1 Forza Motorsport

Chapter 18 New Track

"Okay, okay, don't tell me if you don't say it. By the way, Yang Hao, the place where you will compete next time is Lewis' hometown. Hehe, Lewis didn't tell you."

Herefordshire, home of Lewis Hamilton.Although his university is more famous, the local karting culture is also very strong.

"I was the record holder of all championships there." Lewis said proudly.

"And also the lap time holder!"

While the two were chatting, the technician brought the track map of the next stop.

Yang Hao looked carefully, and found that the number of curves was the same as that of his academy, five curves, but the length of the track seemed to be longer.

"Their tracks are similar to ours, and they are all min-group tracks, but their curves are longer than ours. Look at this s-turn."

Yang Hao compared the track of his own college, and indeed, the S-turn became longer.

The longer S-turn is a difficult thing for the driver, because there is an extra attack and defense point and a point to judge whether to brake.

If it is in a high-speed state, the kart will also become insufficient downforce and skid when turning.

This is different from cars, the same corner car can pass directly at high speed without considering the problem of sideslip.

But in karts and F1 races, you need to be very accurate in judging the entry and exit points of the S-turn, so that you can pass at high speed. This kind of place is also an important point for widening the time difference.

Anyone who has played F1 e-sports can appreciate the suffocating red and white baffle on the S-bend.Because if you are not careful, the entire vehicle will slide sideways and the body will come across.

On the contrary, those S-turns with very short radius and large radius can pass quickly by using the inertia of the body after deceleration.

But what is more difficult is that after the S-bend, there is a short straight line and a U-turn.

This is a test of the driver's familiarity with the track and the control of responsiveness.

"Here, here, here is the braking point." Lewis carefully marked the braking point for Yang Hao.

"For that kind of track, our indoor track is a bit similar to it, but it is simpler. Do you want to train?"

"I want to see it." It would be great to have a similar track training, otherwise it would be impossible to remember these braking points in an hour of practice.

The sound of indoor training is huge, because the rest of the children are still in the stage of learning karting indoors, so the echo caused is deafening. Fortunately, the padding in the helmet has a sound-absorbing function.

The indoor track is always worse than the outdoor track, because the maintenance time is longer than the outdoor track, so when you drive on the road, you will obviously feel the bumps on the road.

It was very difficult for Yang Hao, he was opened a big distance by Lewis.

After the second turn of the S-turn, unfortunately, I hit the rubber barrier on the right side of the turn.

Unfortunately, indoor track races generally do not allow wall crashers to continue racing for the safety of other cars.

Yang Hao had no choice but to leave the exit.

"How did you hit it?"

"I think I turned the steering wheel late and I wanted to get out on the inside line."

"You're not supposed to go out on the inside, you're supposed to be on the outside, and on the outside you can yank the steering wheel and accelerate out."

Lewis said while gesturing.

"But I think it should be the problem with the rubber baffle, otherwise I can wipe the lawn."

Because Yang Hao hit the right side of the tire, it is understandable to say so.

"You can try my driving method. He only has a braking point when entering the corner. In your case, although there is no braking point, it is easy to make mistakes in judging when exiting the corner."

In fact, the second section of the driver's license test is also the same S-curve. This is why many coaches say to keep the inside line.

You can't see the solid line because of the difference in angle of view from the outside line.You simply cannot tell where your vehicle is in the S-turn.

But this is the advantage of the kart, he can accurately and clearly see the size of the space on both sides.

"Let me try."

"Just slow down slightly, don't accelerate, use the inertia of the vehicle to pass."

As the exit was just before the S-turn, Lewis stood there and prepared to watch Yang Hao's practice.

"Don't step on it so hard, I feel your speed is dropping too fast."

"No, no, you turned the steering wheel too slowly when you came out."

Lewis guided patiently, but Yang Hao's learning ability really made Lewis envious.

On the third lap, Lewis had stopped talking, and Yang Hao's passing speed was obviously getting faster and faster.

After running a few laps, the kart even ran out of gas, so Yang Hao had to push it down by himself.

"Yang, you must check the fuel level before the race, otherwise you will not be able to finish the race. Although this will not happen in the min group."

The technician came over and checked the vehicle and said.

"Your car will be delivered the day before the game. After all, it is delivered by the academy and we cannot guarantee delivery on the same day. But don't worry, the seats of the car are protected by a protective film, and there will be a name on it."

For ordinary families, transporting karts is a very expensive thing. Your kart needs a special car to pick up and drop off, and also requires a technician to maintain it.

"Will you go, technician?"

"Yes, the school board has asked me to ensure that your competition outside the academy goes smoothly."

"Yang, to be honest, you should find a team. After entering their youth training, you don't have to worry about other things outside the competition."

At this time, Lewis has entered the list of McLaren's youth training development plan.

"I thought, I'd have to have as many titles as you for someone to sign me, I'm not British after all."

Yang Hao was a little depressed.

"You won't, Yang, but because you are Asian, you will get more attention than others. You have already won your first championship."

said the technician.

"Yes, Yang, I think you will be noticed earlier than me. After all, there are so many British karting drivers, and you are the first Chinese."

Sometimes things are so weird, when so many Brits have an Asian winner, it feels like a rare commodity.

As Asian champions, they will feel that they will have no confidence in winning the championship compared with the attention of British local players winning the championship.

This is also a strange and sad place.It is also why many people feel that there is a sense of gap with Europeans. This is the so-called source of double standards.

"Yang, you are the first Asian to do it here in the UK. Even the Japanese who compare themselves as developed countries can't do it. So as a technician, I think I will try my best to help you. Here is The grades speak for themselves."

So, as you can imagine, it was not easy for Lewis Hamilton to be the first and so far only black driver.

Although sports has no borders, it actually has skin color and country.
