Chapter 583 583. Changing Instinct

Weld your foot to the accelerator?

Xu Jia was stunned for a moment. Could this be the professional version of the description of who will be the grandson of whoever takes off the accelerator?

No wonder I had kept these two points in mind before racing, I guess I heard it from the old drunkard!

After the old drunkard finished telling this so-called "secret", he took a step back and took out a stopwatch to start timing.

After all, this is just a private training base. It’s good to be able to build such a short-track rally track. It’s unrealistic to get high-tech like electronic timing and fully automatic photographic timing. The only way is to manually stop the stopwatch.

The total length of the Guangshen base rally short track is 2.9 kilometers, which is about the same length as a standard track. The old drunkard’s single lap time is 1 minute, 33 seconds and 21 seconds, which translates into an average speed of just over 112km/h.

You may not feel much by simply looking at the numbers, because the speed needs to be compared to determine the speed.

Taking the WRC, the highest level of rally competition, as a reference, the average speed of the general outdoor stage is about 110km/h. The speed in cities or on asphalt roads is slightly higher, around 140km/h.

Maybe this speed doesn’t seem particularly exaggerated, but imagine how intense the impact would be if you raced at hundreds of kilometers per hour on various mountain dirt roads and streets.

It is not even an exaggeration to say that the sense of speed and presence that WRC brings to the audience even surpasses track races such as F1!

The old drunkard can become the strongest rally driver in China, and he really has two skills.

After having some idea of ​​the speed requirements, Xu Jia turned to look at Li Wenfeng and asked, "Is that okay?"

To be honest, Xu Jia has never doubted his driving skills. At least at this stage, it is not enough.

But Li Wenfeng is just an underground driver. This is his first contact with professional training. He has never eaten pork before and has only seen the level of pig running. Rally racing has never been a one-person game, it requires the ultimate cooperation of two people.

"A man can't say no, you just run away and that's the end of it!"

"Have personality."

Almost as soon as Xu Jia finished speaking, he kicked the floor oil directly and shot it out. The push on his back instantly pressed Li Wenfeng to the seat, and you could even see the muscles on his face were slightly deformed.

Damn it, no wonder this guy used to run on the streets and crush his opponents almost all the time. Only by sitting in the passenger seat can you experience this terrifying strength!

The emotions in Li Wenfeng's heart could be described as turbulent, but the shock was quickly broken by Xu Jia's voice.

"Road book!"

"The first 50 is a fast right turn with a camber of 5."

Almost as an instinctive reaction, Li Wenfeng blurted out the first node data he had just recorded.

Accompanied by Li Wenfeng's compatriot Xu Jia, he filled the floor with oil. The speedometer needle went from 80km/h, 120km/h, 140km/h, and even the final cornering speed reached an astonishing 160km/h!

It can be said that Xu Jia really achieved full throttle cornering and never took his foot off the accelerator from the start!

"Uncle Xu, this cornering speed to the north..."

Brother Niu is also standing next to Xu Lang at this moment. He has seen the speed of the old drunkard running on this short track at his peak. Not much else to say, just now Xu used full throttle to corner the speed, which was not slower than the old drunkard back then. , this is still based on the premise of driving the same racing car!

The old drunkard knew what Aniu wanted to say, so he just nodded, his eyes always fixed on the Mitsubishi EVO.

The previous test runs and road surveys could only be regarded as preliminary preparations and could not show the fastest speed of a driver.

Just when Xu Jia drove the car at the first right turn, Xu Lang knew very well that he was no slower than himself in the corner, and Xu Jia's line was even more beautiful.

To be honest, Xu Lang has only seen this kind of extreme alignment level in the top WRC drivers such as Loeb and Gronholm. According to Xu Jia's current driving strength, he has already reached the threshold of WRC by running on asphalt or cement road stages.

After fifteen years of hard work, I still haven't crossed the WRC threshold. Can Xu Jia do it so easily? Thinking of this, the old drunkard who had been indulged and degenerated for a long time once again had a bitter smile on his face because of the past.

"Go straight 100 degrees, turn 6, and go through the right curve at full speed."

The Mitsubishi EVO was still racing wildly. Following Li Wenfeng's instructions, the high-speed curves in front were basically passed at full throttle.

After all, compared to those completely unfamiliar mountain roads, Xu Jia has already run this short track twice. I dare not say that he can achieve the level that is imprinted in his mind, but at least on the asphalt road, the curves cannot bring any impact to Xu Jia. obstacles!

"Gravel road, left right-angle bend, curvature 3!"

After running several hundred meters of asphalt road, what Xu Jia had to face next was the gravel and mud environment that he had never been exposed to in his previous life.

This is not only a change of terrain, but more importantly, it is impossible to use the experience of the previous life to "cheat". Everything must be broken through by one's own learning during this period.

Many times, change is more difficult than starting from scratch. In a state of entertainment, Xu Jia can easily remember pulling force operation techniques such as drifting and pulling the handbrake.

However, in a competitive situation, the formula car driving method in the past ten years has become a physiological instinct of Xu Jia.

In other words, when faced with a right-angle bend on a gravel road, his first reaction is still to decelerate and downshift with the foot brake, and then find the APEX point at the apex of the bend to take the line through the bend. However, due to the lack of tire grip, the speed needs to be reduced to an extremely slow state to ensure that it does not run off the track.

When Xu Jia realized that this way of cornering was not working and needed to apply the handbrake to replenish oil to exit the corner, time had already been wasted.

Even if the whole process is lightning-fast, for motorsport, every millisecond represents a different ending.

Therefore, Xu Jia's speed obviously began to slow down on the gravel road environment, and he lost the smoothness that he had on the asphalt road.

"What are you hesitating about? Is this how confident you are?"

"Remember, this is a rally, not a track race. Every corner you take has no chance to be repeated. Every mistake you make will ruin the entire game, or even your entire career!"

"One step slower will always make you slower than others!"

The roaring voice of the old drunkard came from the earphones under the helmet. This time he was really angry!

You must know that he has already discovered that Xujia's asphalt and gravel running methods are two extremes. It's just that as a young man, he is not familiar with it and can adapt to it by running two more laps.

Unexpectedly, this kind of hesitation would still appear at every sharp turn on the gravel road in Xu Lang, which made Xu Lang find it unacceptable and incomprehensible.

There are no repeated laps in a rally. You only have one chance to pass each corner. If you want to be a top rally driver, you cannot even allow one chance to make a mistake. How can you make mistakes like Xu Jia!

Hearing the roar of the old drunkard, the expression on Xu Jia's face was as cold as ice. He knew his problem very well. It was just an instinctive habit brought about by his career for more than ten years. How could it be so easy to change?

Otherwise, there would be no such thing as the saying "A country is easy to change, but a person's nature is hard to change".

But Xu Jia knows better that if he can't change, he won't even be able to cross the WRC threshold, let alone return to F1.

Genius drivers never rely on the experience of their previous lives to "cheat", but rely on their own talents to learn and change.

I, Xu Jia, can step into F1 in my lifetime, and I can step into WRC in this lifetime. There is nothing that cannot be changed!
