He rode a motorcycle and crashed the plane.

Chapter 520 520. Professional Performance

Xu Jia turned around and left so simply that Fatty Chen was stunned for a moment, and then quickly followed him.

When the waiting distance was a little far away, the fat man whispered: "Xiang Bei, you really want to run with him, why don't you give up for three seconds?"

"if not?"

"You don't know about professional teams. The Volkswagen 222 team is the best in the country and their drivers are very strong!"

After all, Fatty Chen has also rented a car and raced at the Donghai International Circuit many times. Although his driving skills are still rubbish, his knowledge and experience have improved a bit. At least he knows the name of the Volkswagen 222 team.

"Then why didn't you say anything just now?"

"Did you just say that? That kid is so arrogant. Just saying that doesn't mean we are cowards. Are we that kind of cowards?"

"Hindsight."

Xu Jia replied angrily, and then continued to ask with a teasing attitude: "Now that I have accepted the call, what do you think I should do?"

"Let me run!"

"Are you running? Brother, don't make trouble. Can you outrun him?"

Just when Xu Jia was trying to brag stupidly because he was a fat man, Fatty Chen unexpectedly replied calmly: "I can't win."

"Then why are you running?"

"I'm so thick-skinned!"

Can thick skin be an advantage?

Just when Xu Jia was about to complain, Fatty Chen replied: "You guys have never seen such a scene. You will definitely feel bad when you lose and are ridiculed."

"I don't care. It's not like I haven't lost anyway."

Fatty Chen's words made Xu Jia's words come to his lips, but he didn't say them out.

He glanced at Fatty Chen with complicated eyes, then changed the subject and said, "By the way, don't you still have a trial training? You don't have to go?"

"Holy crap! I almost forgot about this. Xiangbei, just wait. The next person who appears in front of you will be professional driver Chen Haitao!"

After Fatty Chen said these words, he was ready to go to the team's maintenance station to register for trial training.

But at this moment, Xu Jia shouted: "Fat man!"

"what?"

Fatty Chen turned around and replied with a puzzled look.

He saw a black shadow in the sky being thrown towards him. Fatty Chen subconsciously grabbed it and found a Mazda car key in his hand.

"You fat man, drive better. This car belongs to an old drunkard. If it crashes, just think about the consequences!"

Fatty Chen made an OK gesture and walked into the pit of Donghai Chenguang Club.

Sure enough...

Xu Jia was still thinking before, which professional team would be blind and try out a rookie like Fatty. Now it seems that a club like the Car Club is suitable for him. After all, everyone is using their rich experience to peck each other, and the eldest brother does not laugh at the second brother.

For a private ticket racing team like Chenguang Club, the registration and trial training process is very fast. It took less than twenty minutes to see Fatty Chen come out and then drive a Mazda RX7FC from the pit lane onto the race track. road.

Under normal circumstances, the team will choose to follow the qualifying mode in the competition, that is, drive for half an hour, and select the fastest lap as the final trial result.

However, some amateur teams are not so particular. If they drive 5 to 10 laps, as long as they can meet their trial lap speed standard, it is equivalent to passing the assessment.

Xu Jia is not clear about Chenguang Racing Team's lap time requirements, but judging from the size and posture of the team, it shouldn't be much higher. If the fat guy can overtake and perform well, he might even be able to sneak in.

Fatty Chen and several other trial drivers stopped at the starting position of the track. When Xu Jia was training at the Donghai International Circuit, he had been in this starting position countless times.

Although the time has returned to ten years ago, nothing has changed at the Donghai Circuit.

The five indicator lights above the track began to light up one after another, which meant that the race time entered the countdown stage of 5 seconds. When these five indicator lights went out instantly, several trial performance cars began to eject and start, and the engine roared violently. , began to ring throughout the track.

The formation looked spectacular, but Xu Jia shook his head gently. This team's trial training did not even arrange a tire warm-up lap. Is it to save the cost of renting a venue?

It has to be said that Donghai International Circuit is the top F1 track in China. The venue fee is still quite expensive. If future enthusiasts want to come up and run on the track, the entry-level test drive fee is 2000 yuan an hour. Card members can take it. A discount.

If Xu Jia remembers correctly, no matter how low the price is in this era, it will not be less than 300 yuan per session, which is half an hour, and this does not include the cost of renting a car.

This is why Xu Jia still agreed to drive the RX7 to Fatty Chen. Indeed, with the current income of a car washer, it is not easy to run on the track, let alone rent a car.

This can be regarded as one of Fatty Chen's strengths. He is a bit good, but at least he doesn't think about racing on the street. In this era, it is really rare to have the consciousness to go on the track.

As for Fatty Chen's operation on the track, it was in line with Xu Jia's expectations, and it was the normal level for a rookie on the track. The only difference is that there is far less chatter to see who is dissatisfied. It is domineering at 7300 rpm in second gear.

The reason is also very clear to Xu Jia, that is, "poverty makes me sober." A grocery cart like Corolla can still find a way to touch up the paint or change the bumper after a few scratches. If something happens to this RX7, the fat man may have to sell his -pound body as meat.

After running a few laps in the trial training, for a rookie like Fatty Chen, the results can be imagined.

When the kid returned to the stands with a sigh, Xu Jia couldn't help teasing him: "Fat man, should I call you a professional driver now?"

Hearing this, Fatty Chen handed the Mazda RX7 key to Xu Jia and said with regret: "If this Mazda was replaced by a GTR, then I would kill this track, but it's a pity that I can't change it."

"Oh, you are so powerful, how about I switch you to F1?"

"Then I'm afraid even the title of professional driver won't satisfy me. From now on, please call me Donghai Racing God!"

"Fat man, it's time for you to take medicine!"

The playful smiles of Xu Jia and Fatty Chen in the stands were also seen by He Lei, who was standing at the door of the Volkswagen 222 Team maintenance station.

If he was wary of Xu Jia based on Qin Hao's knowledge before, now he feels that the other party is a pure rookie. Qin Hao has been racing underground a lot in the past few years and no longer understands what a career is. !

"He Lei, are you really going to run a lap with amateur drivers later?" The person who said this was Xia Jun, the leader of the Volkswagen 222 youth training team. He had just learned that He Lei wanted to go to the team's pit station to inspect the car and go to the track. After running a lap with an amateur driver, I felt a little confused and asked.

"Well, just running around and having fun."

He Lei replied casually, it was normal for professional drivers to run two laps on the track, and the average team would not care that much. After all, it was not underground racing.

"This kind of opponent is not suitable for you. If you really want to run, you can run with Qin Hao. He should soon become a member of the FCA team."

The name Qin Hao may not be familiar to ordinary people, but for those in the racing circle, he can win the karting youth competition championship and has studied in the Japanese Toyota team. He is definitely the top young driver in the country. Naturally, Xia Jun is also Know the "grievances" between He Lei and him.

Moreover, the FCA team has been gaining momentum in the past two years and has a tendency to challenge the big brother of the Volkswagen 222 team in the East China Sea. Xia Jun hopes that his drivers can beat the opponent.

"I will run with him, but only in the competition, so that I can truly beat him!"

For professional drivers, only winning the race is meaningful. Otherwise, no matter how fast you run, you will still be the one standing in the audience looking up to the champion.

"Okay, but don't run with such amateur drivers in the future. After all, you are not the same type of person as them."

Xia Jun warned that he could understand the occasional youthful exuberance, but he had to pay attention to the boundaries and don't go too far.

In history, something similar happened to the Donghai Volkswagen 222 Team, and it was China's top driver. The CTCC championship driver was racing on the streets, which was a sensation at the time. In a sense, the plot in Han Han's "Flying Life" in which the protagonist's driver's license is revoked is based on this incident.

In fact, it is not uncommon for professional drivers to run street races. For example, Japan's most famous Wangan and Capital High Schools have countless professional drivers who have competed in them. It can even be said to be a part of Japan's racing culture.

Of course, the premise is that you don't get caught. If you do, you'll have to admit defeat.

"I see."

He Lei nodded. In fact, he had no interest in running with Xu Jia at all. It was simply that the other party was too arrogant, so he had no choice but to show the horror of a professional driver.

The Chenguang Club trial training is over, and next is the trial training for the new drivers of Donghai Volkswagen 222 Team Touring Car Division. Compared with the previous group of people who came to make fun of Fatty Chen, this group of trial drivers are obviously much more professional, and almost all have professional experience. .

It's just that Xu Jia doesn't know any of these people. In his last life, he followed the path of professional formula. Except for the top ones such as Han Han, Ma Qinghua, and Zhang Chendong, others can't come into his sight at all.

Although the performance of this group of drivers is pretty good, it can only be said to be "good". If Xu Jia used a touring car to run this track together during his peak period in his previous life, he would have been able to beat them by at least 10 seconds!

The last one to try out was the Donghai FCA team. As a "rich and powerful" rising star, the rally division was very strong, and there were even WRC championship-level drivers later on. However, the touring car racing division has been relatively depressed, and the selection of new members has only begun.

Xu Jia is not very interested in the strength of these rookie drivers. They are probably similar to the previous trial drivers of Donghai 222 Team. The only person he was a little curious about was Qin Hao. From what He Lei said just now, it seemed that this guy was also a professional kart driver and even trained in Japan. In theory, he should be very strong.

It's just that Xu Jia doesn't understand why a character who can enter Japan's Formula Toyota youth training camp is running underground in Guangdong Province?

It is undeniable that there are indeed experts in underground racing, especially in mountain track events. Many professional drivers flock to it and just run and have fun.

For example, the prototype of Takumi Fujiwara in "Initial D", the Japanese GT champion, and Keiichi Tsuchiya, the annual runner-up at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, was born as the king of mountain drifting. Subsequently, because of excessive drifting on the hilly track, the Japan Professional Racing Association considered it detrimental to the driver's reputation, and the professional racing license was once revoked.

But in China, there are very few masters who swing between the profession and the street. At least Xu Jia has never heard of it in his life. Qin Hao's choice to become an underground driver instead of becoming a formula driver "Great Expectations" is really a bit disappointing. Incomprehensible.

Therefore, with this curiosity, Xu Jia paid close attention to Qin Hao's trial training, wanting to see what the current strength of this "water flows to the lower place" guy was.

Each team has its own tank. For example, the Volkswagen 222 team’s competition car is the Volkswagen POLOGTI, while the Donghai FCA team’s tank is the Subaru WRXSTI. The Chinese name may be more familiar to everyone, that is, the Subaru Impreza.

The first generation of Subaru WRX STI was born very close to the Mitsubishi EVO, and was also born for the WRC rally. It is precisely for this reason that Subaru WRX STI and Mitsubishi EVO have been engaged in a fateful showdown that has lasted nearly twenty years!

But these are all things in the rally field. As for the Subaru Impreza STI's record at the Donghai International Circuit, if Xu Jia remembers correctly, the touring car lap record at the Donghai International Circuit was driven by Han Han in a modified Subaru Impreza. Leopard set a domestic record of 2 minutes, 10 seconds and 64 seconds on a standard track.

If Han Han's track record is compared, it will be easier to see Qin Hao's strength in track competitions. It's just a pity that Qin Hao did not choose to drive the FCA team's Subaru Impreza, but his own Nissan GTR.

At the end of the regular warm-up lap, the five indicator lights above the track began to light up one after another, meaning the five-second countdown began. When all the indicator lights went out, several cars in the trial were ejected from the parking space. However, with just one start, Qin Hao could be seen widening the gap with other trial drivers. He was simply not on the same level!

"As expected of a GTR, so fast!"

Fatty Chen was extremely excited at this time, but he was not cheering for Qin Hao's strength, but for his dreamcar, the "Japanese God of War" GTR.

Xu Jia nodded perfunctorily. Judging from this starting point alone, Qin Hao's basic skills are very solid, and he deserves to be a kart driver since he was a child. But the final lap time depends on the subsequent curve alignment. This is the key point.

The layout of the Donghai International Circuit is designed according to the Chinese character "上". The position of Turn 1 of the track is at the top of the word "上".

It's just that Turn 1 on the actual track is not a right-angled turn like the Chinese characters with clear horizontal and vertical lines, but a spiral shape, and it connects Turn 2, Turn 3, and even part of Turn 4 at the same time.

It can be said that Turn 1 of Donghai International Circuit is the essence of the entire track. If Turn 1 can be cut well, then subsequent turns should not be a big problem.

Qin Hao soon drove the GTR to Turn 1 of the track. He slowed down at the regular braking point and then started to cut into the corner. After passing through the APEX point at the center of the corner, Qin Hao took advantage of the situation to fill up the fuel and accelerate out of the corner.

Because the track has spiral turns, the exit of Turn 1 is the entry point of Turn 2. During this process, Qin Hao clicked on the brakes to prevent the car from running off the track too fast when entering the corner.

Qin Hao was very fast in the corners and could not find any mistakes. According to the standards of domestic touring car track racing, this is already the highest level in the country and the standard of CTCC race drivers.

But at this time, the expression on Xu Jia's face was very indifferent, because it was on this corner that he had seen drivers such as Hamilton, Schumacher, Alonso, etc., who did not need to apply the brakes and used "full curve tracking". "braking" method, connecting through the combination corners of the Donghai International Circuit.

After seeing the real "God's Control", Qin Hao's excellent cornering performance became rare and ordinary.

Of course, this may also have something to do with racing. Even the GTR, known as the "Japanese God of War", can only be at the level of a younger brother in terms of overall performance compared to F1.

就好比韩涵跑出来的场地赛圈速记录是2分10秒64，而东海国际赛道F1单圈记录，是舒马赫跑出来的1分32秒238，足足慢了接近40秒！

Of course, the strength of the drivers is incomparable, but to be able to lag behind by as much as 40 seconds, racing factors also account for a large proportion.

The half-hour trial training time passed quickly, and Qin Hao's fastest lap was good, with a time of 2 minutes, 15 seconds and 925. You must know that Han Han's fastest record was only set in 12. At the current Donghai International Circuit, the GTR lap time that you can refer to is a modified HKSGT800 kit with a 800P horsepower of 2 minutes, 15 seconds and 253 seconds. time.

As a "rookie" driver who came to Donghai International Circuit for trial training for the first time, Qin Hao's results completely exceeded the standards. Not surprisingly, he will soon see his name on the FCA professional list.

"Damn it, 2 minutes, 15 seconds and 925 seconds. Is this guy really an underground driver? Even professional drivers may not be able to run that fast, right?"

Fatty Chen was dumbfounded by Qin Hao's lap time. He had been running at the Donghai International Circuit for more than a year, and he had never seen anyone, including professional drivers, run a lap time of 2 minutes and 15 seconds. Today is an eye-opener!

"Xiang Bei, do you think the timer is broken?"

Fatty Chen turned his head and prepared to ask Xu Jia beside him.

But at this time, he found that the seat next to him was empty. Xu Jia was walking down the stands and heading towards the maintenance tunnel.

"Xiangbei, what are you doing?"

Hearing Fatty Chen's voice behind him, Xu Jia replied lightly: "Let you doubt again whether the timer is broken."
