Chapter 581 581. Absolute trust

"Is it so demanding?"

Li Wenfeng muttered in a low voice. Although he had some understanding of professional racing, he had never entered the professional circle. As a hobby, he could never imagine what level of skills other people need to achieve.

What's more, the old drunkard's requirements are top-notch!

"If you can't do it, quit early and don't waste each other's time."

The old drunkard still replied indifferently, saying that he would not interfere with who Xu Jia chooses to be the navigator, because this requires the driver himself to be in tune.

However, no matter who becomes Xu Jia's navigator, life-threatening hard work is the basic condition. Professional racing is not a house game. You can come and leave when you want.

And a more important point is that the rally driver and co-driver are basically in a locked state, and rarely change partners midway. This is a decision with no regrets!

"I can do it."

Li Wenfeng looked at the old drunkard and replied with a firm look in his eyes. He was completely without the playful attitude of a young master in the past.

"Achieving success is not just about words, it's about actions."

"I will prove myself!"

"Remember what you say now."

After the old drunkard finished speaking, he looked at Xu Jia and said, "What about you?"

"I believe in him."

Hearing this answer, a strange light flashed in Xu Lang's eyes. He nodded and replied: "Very good, it seems you understood what I told you yesterday."

Just yesterday during the trial run, the old drunkard told Xu Jia that if, as a rally driver, he could not fully trust the navigator around him, then he was destined to become a loser.

If Xu Jia immediately questioned Li Wenfeng just because of his few words, Xu Lang would be very disappointed, proving that Xu Jia did not truly understand what a navigator meant to him.

No matter how strong a driver is personally, he or she is not suitable for rallying, because rallying is a victory for two people.

"The plan has been drawn up for you. All that's left is to cultivate tacit understanding and trust."

"Remember, what I want is absolute trust. Even if there is a cliff ahead, as long as the navigator announces the road and you can go, or the driver decides to drive this way, you must be able to risk your life!"

Regarding the words of the old drunkard, Xu Jia and Li Wenfeng were temporarily silent. Without enough common experience, it is difficult to have a life-long friendship, but at least both of them must develop in that direction.

All that needs to be said has been said, and now it’s time to take action.

Xu Jia understands the expressions in the road book, but he has not systematically studied the standard road book. After all, the track does not need a road book to navigate. If the driver cannot remember the characteristics of more than ten or twenty curves, it only proves that there is no such thing as a road book. Suitable for the career of racing.

The structure of the official standard road book can be divided into two components. The left side is a number indicating the distance between time and the next node, and the right side is a symbol indicating the terrain.

Because rally races start differently from track races, they start at intervals. So basically there won't be any overtaking scenes. The winner or loser depends on how fast you can run and how long it takes to pass the record point.

The time on the left can be roughly understood as track lap time. Drivers use it to compare the time they pass through nodes to know whether they are faster or slower.

To explain the distance to the next node in a layman's terms, it means that the navigator reports 50 meters ahead to turn right, and the number 50 is the distance from the car to the next node.

The right half of the standard road book is specifically used to indicate the terrain ahead, such as curves, slopes, road width, whether it is gentle, etc. Of course, this is just the expression method of the standard road book. As for the driver's own road book, it is completely based on personal habits.

Whichever way of writing sounds comfortable to you, and the navigator can express it concisely and clearly, it doesn't matter even if it is written in Martian script, anyway, you and the navigator can read it.

In addition to learning how to make standard road books, Xu Jia spent the rest of his time in the "fitness factory".

Although this racing base is shabby in every aspect, it is at least very comprehensive in terms of fitness equipment and even has the most professional driver training cockpit.

The so-called driver training cockpit is something similar to a cockpit, and it also has components such as a steering wheel.

It’s just that this steering wheel is not used to drive, but to weight the barbell plates. That is to say, every time you turn the direction, it is like grabbing the barbell, specially used to exercise the unicorn arms!

And on the steering wheel, there is a traction device connected to a special helmet for the driver to wear on his head. In this way, as you turn the steering wheel, you can simulate the huge G value when cornering on the track, giving you a more realistic sense of direction.

After Xu Jia sat on it, he directly hung a 20KG counterweight on himself. As a result, he instantly felt as if his neck was being broken.

Damn it, I can’t even carry 20kg. Am I such a weakling?

Xu Jia muttered something speechless in his heart. You must know that his training limit in his previous life was 40KG, and now he has not even reached half of it.

Because under the action of centrifugal force, a high-speed cornering can produce an acceleration of about 4G. If converted into weight, the neck needs to bear 24 kilograms of weight at this moment.

The G value caused by sudden braking for hundreds of kilometers will soar to 5-6G, and the acceleration weight will also reach a terrifying 40KG at this time.

Therefore, the standard value of 40KG is the passing line for F1 drivers. If you cannot bear even 40KG, you will have to continuously apply the brakes to slow down on the track, otherwise you will suffer from black vision and dizziness.

Ma Qinghua, China's only F1 test driver, has stopped at the threshold of an official driver. In addition to his skills, he also lost because of his physical fitness that cannot bear the G value. Xu Jia cannot let himself make the same mistake again.

"Just take 20KG. Aren't you afraid of breaking your neck?"

Seeing Xu Jia's radical move, the old drunkard warned him while holding up the barbell plates.

Many things must be done within one's ability. The cervical spine is one of the most fragile parts of the human body, and a little carelessness may have serious consequences.

"Uncle Xu, I know what's going on."

Xu Jia gritted his teeth and replied. He was no stranger to the driver's training mode. It could even be said that he was extremely familiar with it.

Therefore, Xu Jia knows very well what his current limit is, and he is also able to skillfully use the steering wheel to reduce the pressure on his neck. 20KG is a lot of pressure, but it is not unbearable.

"This weight is already the passing level for professional rally drivers, don't think about reaching the top in one step."

The old drunkard ignored Xu Jia's words. In his opinion, this was the stubbornness and frivolity of young people, and he was ready to take off a 10KG barbell plate.

But at this time, Xu Jia took his arm and said firmly: "Uncle Xu, I can really do it."

Xu Jia never thought that he would just stop as a rally driver, so he always used F1 as a reference. That is the standard for the strongest driver on the planet!
