How did I become an F1 driver?

Chapter 53 Chapter 53: How to save fuel
Don't you want to make progress?
Qin Yun was slightly surprised, and then felt a little lost.

When she saw the No.2 result, Qin Yun thought that there would be an opponent who could fight with her in this competition, but she didn't expect that there were more people in the opponent's car.

If there were multiple people in the other car, Qin Yun felt that she could throw Qin Miao out of her wake zone in just one lap.

This is not self-confidence, but the opponent's vehicle will definitely have a lot of negative states after the extra load.

Qin Yun never thought that this B would be there when Qin Miao ran the qualifying, and there were still more than ten liters of gas in Qin Miao's mailbox after the qualifying.

If she knew about these debuffs, she might be thinking about how to keep her ranking.

"5 minutes countdown." The engineer's voice sounded.

"receive……"

After answering, Qin Miao turned to look at Yu Jialiang: "There is still 5 minutes to start the game, you still have time to get out of the car."

Yu Jialiang's neck twitched: "It's impossible to get off the car. If you die before the race is over, I have to die in the car too!"

"You are awesome, but this is my race. The contract of the top three drivers is still very important to me, so no matter how much you beg for mercy, I will never stop and let you go." Qin Miao finally Still explained his thoughts.

"Don't worry, buddy will never hold you back."

"I drive very aggressively. If there is no accident, you will definitely vomit, the kind that you have to spit out sour water."

"If I vomit, I'll call you daddy." Yu Jialiang followed his neck and said.

Qin Miao blinked her lips regretfully and didn't try to persuade her any more.

As for Qin Miao's heart... he was actually scolding his mother, because such a big person was in the car, his lap time was at least 0.3 seconds slower per lap, but Qin Miao was relatively thin-skinned, so he was too embarrassed to blatantly drive him off.

……

“1分钟……半分钟……10秒……5……4……3……2……1……”

"gogogo! The tire warm-up lap begins!"

"Keep a distance between cars, seize the opportunity, and pay attention to safety."

Qin Miao stepped on the accelerator slowly, and under the leadership of the safety car, slowly drove out of the grid.

There is nothing to say about the tire warming circle. Qin Miao kept a distance of two cars behind the AMG GT in front, and at the same time took an S-shape to warm up the tires if there was a chance.

The car behind also followed suit.

Soon the car lineup came to T16 amidst the unique low-pitched sound of AMG GT.

The safety car came into the pit before entering T16, while Qin Miao and the rest of the race kept their speed below 80km/h and waited for the five red lights on the grid to go out.

Although Qin Miao looked calm at the moment, his heart rate was approaching 160.

Even Yu Jialiang, who sat next to him without any pressure to operate the car, had a heart rate of 130.

This involves a sense of substitution, as if you watch your favorite player participate in a game. Since you like him, you will subconsciously bring yourself into his role.

Subconsciously, I would sweat for him.

Yu Jialiang is in such a state now, even more exciting than watching his favorite player on TV, because he is sitting in Qin Miao's car right now.

The two belonged to a relationship in which one prospers and the other loses, so he also became nervous, worried that Qin Miao's start would be unexpected.

Although countless start simulations have been performed in "ACC", the vibration from the engine in front of you, the speed when the scenery on both sides of the field of vision retreats rapidly, and the desire for the first, everything is invisible. Put pressure on Qin Miao.

Finally, as the five red lights in the field of vision went out, Qin Miao slammed on the gas pedal.

This car has a traction control system, and it has a base speed of 79 kilometers, so there is no possibility that this car will be a gyro with one kick of the accelerator.

After the start, Qin Miao subconsciously looked at the AMG GT on the pole on the left.

Qin Yun got off to a good start, on par with Qin Miao.

Qin Miao did not close the distance with Qin Yun through the start, but she was not thrown away by the opponent without a start.

At this time, Qin Yun had half a body advantage over Qin Miao, and Qin Miao didn't panic after seeing this.

At the start of the last race, as long as the driver in P2 is not thrown off by the driver in pole position at the start stage, the P2 driver wins.

Because T1 and T2 in the previous game were a huge right turn, Qin Miao, who was in P2, could easily get stuck inside when entering T1 without being pulled away.

And can rely on the huge inside advantage of T1 and T2 in the previous game to easily overtake and win the first position.

With the roar of the engine, both Qin Miao and Qin Yun came to the corner of T1.

Qin Yun took the braking point of the standard left path, and she even gave Qin Miao a certain amount of space.

And Qin Miao's braking point was at least 50 meters late. This was not Qin Miao's mistake. Qin Miao would be nervous when he was in a tense state, but he would definitely not cause his operation to deform at the first turn because of nervousness.

He braked late purely because he was afraid that the driver behind would be torpedoed, and he, who was on the inside line, would be directly knocked out.

Fortunately, even though the lap times of the drivers behind were not as fast as Qin Miao's, they were all resigned to their lives, and they didn't push so far, and no torpedoes occurred.

Qin Miao's late brake also caused the advantage that should have belonged to him to be handed back to Qin Yun.

Qin Yun relied on the crossing line to pass Qin Miao, who was a little bit too far from the late brake at T1.

If this is a back bend, Qin Miao can still gain a tail speed advantage on the straight by fueling early, but it is a pity that T3 and T4 in the last race did not give Qin Miao much room to play.

After the start of the race until T3 exit, the positions of the top three did not change, but the drivers behind Qin Miao didn't know because he couldn't see it.

After getting out of T4, the heart rate of Qin Miao and Yu Jialiang, his co-pilot, also dropped.

Qin Miao's heart rate was maintained at around 130, and Yu Jialiang's was maintained at 100. For a racing driver, this heart rate is considered normal.

Although Qin Miao disliked the shortcomings of this AMG GT in various ways, saying that this car is useless except for acceleration.

But after really waiting to start running such relatively long-distance races, the advantages of this AMG GT over those professional racing cars are highlighted.

This car has air conditioning!There is also a radio to listen to music!The most important thing is that the suspension of this car is relatively soft, and the driving is not as bumpy as the F4.

Of course, in order not to distract Qin Miao, Yu Jialiang didn't turn on the radio. He just turned on the air conditioner in the car when he felt a little hot.

In fact, Qin Miao, who devoted himself to the game, didn't feel the heat, just like when he drove the F1 for the first time, the sweat-absorbing lining on the back was completely soaked by his sweat, and he didn't feel tired at all. It wasn't until he was about to get off the car that he realized that he was too tired to stand up.

However, the sudden cold wind made Qin Miao feel refreshed, and her mind became clearer and calmer.

The eyes continued to return to the game.

In the first lap of the race, Qin Miao got the first position at the start, and after losing his position in T1, Qin Miao remained within 1 second behind Qin Yun.

But most of Qin Miao's attention was not on the car in front, but on a gray AMG GT behind him.

For Qin Miao, his task today is to keep the second and fight for the first, and the game is still long. The first thing he has to do now is to keep his position, instead of thinking about attacking Qin Yun in front of him now.

Now the most important news for Qin Miao is the speed of the car behind. If as the race progresses, the opponent starts to erode the advantage he won at the start, then Qin Miao has to be as fast as possible before he attacks himself. Get the first place without any hesitation, let the third and Qin Yun dog bite the dog.

If Qin Miao didn't win the first place, he would have to defend No.3's attack.

Qin Miao is confident in defending against the attack of the car behind him, but he will inevitably sacrifice his speed if he gets into a fight. As time goes by, the possibility of Qin Miao catching up with Qin Yun and winning the first place becomes less and less. .

The most important thing is that if Qin Miao runs normally, there will be at least two lap gaps in the fuel that Qin Miao brings, which means that the fuel in Qin Miao's car is not enough for him to run the full distance.

However, Qin Miao's worries were a little unnecessary. People like them who had a certain understanding of racing cars and good racing skills were in the minority after all.

After the first lap, Qin Miao and Qin Yun formed a leading group logically, leaving behind No.3 by nearly a second in one lap.

This terrifying gap makes the face of the third buddy full of unwillingness and despair. If Qin Miao observes carefully, he can see that this is the one who came to look for Qin Yun when he and Qiu Meng were waiting for the game to start in the rest area. Fu Hai, the general manager of the so-called Fengtai Group.

But aside from these details, after confirming that No.3 could not pose a substantial threat to him, Qin Miao began to slow down his pace on the second lap and entered the cruising mode.

Although among the system tasks, the reward for getting No. 1 is almost ten times higher than the reward for getting No. 2, and Qin Miao salivates for the reward, but Qin Miao has a clear self-awareness and a relatively calm mind.

He knew that instead of increasing the risk of not being able to finish the race and fighting for a first place that may not be able to get it, keeping his No.2 is the most profitable choice.

The operation of the fuel-saving mode is not too difficult, it just needs to get used to.

The first method is to release the accelerator about 100 meters before the heavy braking point on the back straight and the starting straight of the last race, and then start to slow down and downshift after passing the 100 meters by the inertia of the vehicle itself.

The idea of ​​this approach is that in the last section of the straight, the engine is in the high-revolution stage to collect oil, which can effectively and significantly reduce fuel consumption.

And because the last section of the road did not continue to refuel, the braking point can be slightly forward, which can reduce the braking time to a certain extent.

This approach can save Qin Miao at least 4% to 6% of fuel per lap.

The second method is the acceleration stage. When Qin Miao upshifts, the 3rd and 4th gears will not run to the most suitable speed before shifting gears. Qin Miao usually shifts to half or three quarters of the speed. Upshifted.

This running method not only protects the engine, but also saves fuel and tires. The only disadvantage is that the speed is not fast enough.

Of course, Qin Miao is particular about the timing of shifting gears in advance. He usually chooses the timing of shifting gears in advance when the engine power of this AMG GT is in the middle and late stages. The loss is within an acceptable range.

Of course, the method of shifting gears in advance also needs to be selected according to your current track. If it is a long straight, it is generally the last few gears that are changed early, and if it is a short straight, it is the first few gears.

At the same time, it also depends on your current state. If you absorb the wake of the car in front or turn on drs and ers, you can also go earlier.

In short, this method is much more flexible than the first fuel-efficient method.

This driving method can also save 5% to 7% of fuel per lap.

With the two methods combined, Qin Miao can leave at least 9% to 13% of the oil in one lap.

After ten laps, at least one more lap can be opened.

Of course, this approach will naturally reduce Qin Miao's speed accordingly, but it doesn't matter to Qin Miao.

After all, his main goal is to keep up with the car in front and not be overtaken by the car behind. Judging from the current state, Qin Miao can pull the car behind for 1 second in one lap, and the 0.6 seconds lost per lap in fuel-saving mode is completely fine. accept.
