He rode a motorcycle and crashed the plane.

Chapter 522 522. The picture is wrong

Hearing the roar of the GTR's engine, He Lei stepped on the accelerator of the Volkswagen POLOGTI not to be outdone. As a professional racing car, this POLOGTI has undoubtedly been extensively modified.

And now the CTCC (China Touring Car Championship) has very loose restrictions on the modification of 1.6L domestic racing cars. It can be said that there is almost unlimited modification!

To describe it simply, as long as you use a mass-produced car with a sales volume of more than 2500 units, you can do whatever you want without changing the original engine structure and volume.

Therefore, in addition to the frame and cylinder block of this Volkswagen POLOGTI, other components including the crankshaft, cylinder head, piston, suspension, gearbox, aerodynamic kit, etc. are all modified new parts.

However, there is a big regret in domestic touring car racing in this era, that is, the installation of turbo-increasing devices is not allowed, and this restriction was not lifted until 11.

This resulted in the 1600CC category of this era being unable to break through the naturally aspirated limit no matter how much it was modified. In most cases, the horsepower was around 200P. However, in later generations, after turbocharging, the extreme performance of the same displacement could exceed 400P.

This is the reason why Xu Jia dared to take the RX7 on the track to compete with He Lei. In terms of absolute power, the "Rotor King" basically has no disadvantages and can be regarded as a well-matched opponent.

Of course, the only disadvantage left is absolute power. Others include suspension, lightweight, handling, shifting speed brought by the sequential gearbox, etc. Mazda RX7 has been affected by this without drastic modifications. A Volkswagen POLOGTI is worth a lot of money.

The two cars left the exit of the maintenance lane one after another and came to the official track. At this moment, the track open day activities and the professional team's trial training have ended, and the entire Donghai International Circuit is empty.

Xu Jia parked the GTR on the starting grid, looked at the familiar scenes around him, and looked at the several starting lights in front of him that were still jumping. He suddenly had the illusion that he was back ten years in the future. He was not driving a car. The performance car GTR is the most powerful racing car on the planet, F1!

"Little Chi, do you need to run a tire warm-up lap?"

He Lei also parked the Volkswagen POLOGTI next to Xu Jia, and then shouted at him.

According to professional rules, the first lap on the track is a warm-up lap, because before the tire temperature rises, the grip of cold tires is very poor.

Especially for formula racing cars, the tires used in competitions are all hot-melt tires, also commonly known as slick tires, which require high temperatures to melt the outer layer of rubber in order to maintain the car's grip at high speeds.

Before He Lei's Volkswagen POLOGTI drove out of the maintenance station garage, the tires had been wrapped with a tire heating blanket to increase the tire temperature. Although he looked down on Xu Jia, an underground driver who forced himself to "pretend", he was not willing to take advantage of the other party in such details.

As long as Xu Jia is willing, he can warm up the tires first and then officially start the race.

"No need, let's get started."

Xu Jia replied lightly, it's not that he looked down on others, if the old drunkard's Mazda RX7 came up, he would have warmed the tires without He Lei's advice.

But now I am driving Qin Hao's GTR. This car has just come off the track and the tire temperature is sufficient, so there is no need to perform any warm-up laps.

Xu Jiadu said it was not necessary, and He Lei naturally would not force it. At this time, he used the in-car voice system to talk to the team console and asked the track command center to restart the start signal, which meant that the "race" would officially begin.

To be honest, He Lei has never thought that his opponent is Xu Jia so far. He wants to run a faster lap and let Qin Hao understand his strength.

I have lost once, but I, He Lei, will never lose forever! The five indicator lights above the track flashed for a few times and then went out, which meant that the 5-second countdown was coming soon. At this time, Xu Jia began to pump fuel to increase the speed of the GTR engine to ensure that it would be in a perfect ejection state at the start.

What Qin Hao said before was right, that is, He Lei is also a professional driver. His performance may be very different from his previous life, but he is definitely not a weakling. And on the premise that the vehicle does not have any advantages, being too careless may really capsize the boat in the gutter.

The start indicator lights began to light up one after another, and both cars began to continuously pump fuel to maintain speed. This scene also attracted the attention of many professional racing personnel in the pit station. However, except for Qin Hao, all of these people had a spectator mentality, waiting to see how He Lei would abuse the food!

Xu Jia's eyes were firmly fixed on the start light. There were no other distracting thoughts in his mind, and he was completely in the state of his competition.

When the five indicator lights went out, Xu Jia kicked the floor oil to the floor. The GTR tachometer pointer was pulled to 7,000 rpm, and the entire car was ejected with lightning speed!

This is the advantage of a performance car equipped with semi-thermal tires. It has enough grip, and you don't have to worry about burning the tires and spinning when you step on the accelerator too much, which will slow down the starting speed.

Next to him, He Lei's Volkswagen POLOGTI started not too slowly, and because of the higher transmission efficiency of the gearbox and the lighter weight of the car, it actually had some advantages in this ejection start showdown. The front of the POLOGTI was ahead of the GTR!

However, in the eyes of the professional racing team members who were watching in the stands, the expressions on their faces changed from the cheerful laughter before to one of shock and surprise.

You must know that He Lei is the champion driver of the National Touring Car Rookie Cup, and he drives a competition-level POLOGTI that has a starting advantage. In theory, he is not on the same level as an amateur street driver, even if his opponent is an expert.

The picture that should appear normally is that after the start, GTR encountered ruthless crushing from POLOGTI, but now it is only slightly ahead?

How fast should the guy driving the GTR react at the start, and how precise should he be with the oil and gas for ejection, to achieve such a close match?

After starting on the track, the GTR's twin-turbocharged engine began to roar wildly. Xu Jia did not let go of the accelerator, and directly let the speed pull into the red light zone at 8,000 rpm before starting to replenish fuel and shift up to second gear.

The gearbox gear ratio of a performance car is not like that of a family car, where the highest first gear is tens of kilometers per hour. For a modified GTR, you can directly push the accelerator until the first gear exceeds 100 kilometers per hour, and there is no need to worry. High speed in the red light zone puts stress on the engine.

After all, the speeds at the bottom of the table are as high as 10,000 rpm, and they are all specially adjusted ECUs (driving computers). The red light area after 7,000 rpm is just a "warm-up"!

As the twin-turbocharging begins to exert force, the GTR's greater horsepower advantage begins to show its advantage in the long straight area after the start of the Donghai International Circuit.

No matter how POLOGTI changes, it will always have the same 1.6L displacement and only about 200P horsepower. As for Qin Hao's GTR, the power modification is not very exaggerated, but it is at least more than 450P horsepower.

The scene that should have occurred at the start was like what Xu Jia and Changmao Racing did before. He Lei used the starting advantage to force Xu Jia's GTR, and then changed lanes and entered the No. 1 car on the track.

After entering the corner, the professional driver's strength can be fully exerted. Xu Jia may not even be able to see the taillights after the final lap.

But now that He Lei failed to press the car at the start, the GTR's late-stage acceleration ability was revealed and it quickly overtook POLOGTI. Even at this time, a scene appeared that no one expected. Xu Jia was not only satisfied with the lead, but on the contrary, he also actively changed lanes and forced himself in front of He Lei's car!

Provocation, this is a challenge to the Volkswagen 222 Team, the top domestic rookie professional driver Chi LUOLUO!
