He rode a motorcycle and crashed the plane.

Chapter 584 584. Terrifying Strength

confidence! This is absolute confidence in your own abilities!

Every driver who can enter the F1 field must have a sense of pride and courage. If you don't even believe in yourself, how can you defeat the strongest opponents in the world?

Being afraid means losing!

At this time, Xu Jia took his right hand away from the steering wheel and grasped the gear lever on the side. The memory and instinct of being an F1 driver in his previous life were erased from his mind, and he was completely brought into the identity of a rally driver.

"The first 70 turns right and turns sharply, the camber is 1!"

Li Wenfeng also heard the old drunkard's roar. To be honest, he didn't feel the big change in Xu Jia's speed.

After all, Xu Jia's so-called hesitation is at the level of milliseconds for top drivers, not really to the extent of slow motion.

This time Xu Jia completely gave up the idea of ​​cutting corners, and carefully calculated in his mind the latest braking point for turning back and drifting, the limit of tire friction, and even the limit of his own ability!

For a driver, choosing speed and passion means that he will be walking on the edge of danger. There is never any absolute safety in professional racing.

F1's ultra-high speed of hundreds of kilometers per hour, once an accident occurs, it means that the event ends early, and even whether you can get off the car is a problem.

The absolute speed of a rally is not that fast, but it does not mean it is safer. You must know that there is no buffer zone on the rally track. There may be walls, trees, reservoirs, or cliffs next to it!

A speed of more than 100 kilometers per hour is also enough to kill a driver. Even rally drivers have a higher casualty rate than track racers.

As a competitive sport where life is on the line, if you make a mistake, you will not have a second chance to do it again. This is why the old drunkard is angry, and it is also why Xu Jia must change!

After reaching the latest braking point, Xu adds downshifting, adds oil, brakes and turns the steering wheel. The entire operation can be said to be completed in one go. I saw this racing-grade Mitsubishi EVO, as if it had drawn a circle on the ground, passing through the turnaround at high speed with the dust raised.

"Uncle Xu, is Xiangbei's operation a matter of skill or luck?"

Brother Niu was simply stunned by Xu Jia's drifting speed. Compared with the smoothness of the operation just now, it was like two people driving. For a moment, Brother Niu even felt that the person sitting in the racing car was not Xu Jia, but Xu Lang standing next to him!

What's more important is that during the entire drift process, the right front spoiler of Xu Jia's car was always close to the edge of the track, maintaining a centimeter level and firmly stabilizing the center of the circle.

This means that Xu Jia's control of the center of gravity of the side-sliding vehicle has reached a very powerful level. Maybe Xu Lang was just like this a few years ago.

You must know that one second Xu Jia was hesitant when cornering and drifting, and the next second he became a top expert. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, no one would believe it!

Facing A Niu's question, the old drunkard opened his mouth in shock, suddenly not knowing what to say.

He knew very well that Xu Jia was talented. It would not be an exaggeration to call him a talented driver, but the drift operation just now was a bit too exaggerated!

Because the top rally drivers in the country currently have the same extreme control over the edge of the track as Xu Jia did just now.

But the question is, can Xu Jia be considered the top rally driver in the country? He hasn't even officially obtained his racing license yet!

“You’ll know whether it’s skill or luck at the next turn.”

The old drunkard muttered something silently. He wanted this answer just like A Niu. "The first 30 turns to the left at a right angle, with a curvature of 3, and the road becomes narrower at the end."

After Li Wenfeng read out the road conditions at the next node, he immediately added: "Damn it, how did you do that drifting corner just now? It was so fast!"

"Shut up!"

Xu Jia didn't have time to explain to Li Wenfeng now that there was a left right-angle bend thirty meters ahead. Considering the current speed of the car, it only took a short one or two seconds.

At this time, Xu Jia raised his foot to stop the accelerator, then combined the braking belt with the brake to steer. After the vehicle speed dropped to a reasonable range, he immediately released the foot brake and pulled the handbrake to drift through the corner. At the same time, he quickly replenished the accelerator with his right foot to accelerate out of the corner.

After the entire operation process, every connection point is extremely precise. The drifting arc of the car once again reproduces the scene of the turnaround. The front spoiler of the car is almost completely attached to the edge of the track, and the center of gravity and distance are controlled even more abnormally than before!

Xu Jia didn't know how much impact his distance control on the edge of the track had on Brother Niu and the old drunkard, because it was just a basic skill for him.

Han Han once said that at a speed of about 200 kilometers per hour on the track, he could control the distance of a book with regard to routing accuracy. As for the thickness of the book, whether it is a homework book or a dictionary, it purely depends on the competitive situation at the time. fate.

The strength of the old drunkard is slightly stronger than Han Han before 08, but slightly weaker than the peak Han Han who won the track and rally championships after 08.

But you have to know one thing, even Han Han, the only double champion in the country, only deserves the word "unfashionable" in the formula racing world.

The only Asian Formula BMW that I have participated in can basically be said to be at the bottom, and the level of the Asian Formula BMW itself is very low, completely inferior to Formula Renault or Formula Ford back then.

As a comparison, Vettel, a four-time champion who was ridiculed by many as a "parallel import", participated in the European Formula BMW where there are many experts. He won 19 championships in 20 races, but he did not participate in the one race he did not win.

Many times there is really no comparison and no harm. This is why every F1 driver is said to be a monster. You can't even imagine how they "slaughter" their opponents in low-level events.

In addition, Verstappen, the "turret" of the later Red Bull Racing Team, also did tests. When driving an F1 car at a speed of 300 kilometers per hour, he could control the sideline and pass the wall, only scratching the wallpaper without damaging the car. itself.

This kind of control accuracy can no longer be described in centimeters, but should be at the millimeter level.

Xu Jia naturally does not have the strength of Verstapan, but at least centimeter-level cornering control is not a big problem for him.

It can only be said that with the changes in the professional atmosphere, Xu Jia's competitive status has slowly emerged. After all, he is not a weakling!

"It's still the same precise control. Uncle Xu must not be lucky now, right?"

Brother Niu murmured a question, and the shock in his heart was beyond description.

Luck is something that rarely comes twice to professional racing. If Xu Jia's operation is still described as luck now, it would be an insult to his driving skills!

"It seems I have to change my plan. This kid is no longer suitable for low-level rally events."

The old drunkard naturally knows better than Brother Niu how valuable Xu Jia’s drifting cornering control is. It can be said that it not only broke his highest expectations, but also shattered Xu Lang's previous career plan.

Xu Jia also participates in low-level rally events, which is a waste of time!
