He rode a motorcycle and crashed the plane.

Chapter 625 625. Genius strength
Xu Jia, who was sitting in the driving seat of the Volkswagen Scirocco, naturally heard the roar of the engine next to him.

When he realized that Ren Zhiguo was stopping next to him, the corners of his mouth began to rise slightly. He did not expect that an opponent would appear so soon.

But that’s okay, what’s the point of simply trying it out? The addition of opponents can make the process more exciting.

Ren Zhiguo also saw the smile on the corner of Xu Jia's mouth at this time, and this scene made his face look a little livid. If Xu Jia's answer to a reporter's question before could still be described as youthful and energetic, then Xu Jia can still laugh in this situation, which is simply a naked provocation to himself!
Do you really think that you, the national track champion, can't beat you, a rally newcomer?

The roar of the engine began to come one after another, and Xu Jia and Ren Zhiguo were both lightly activating the accelerator.

Because this is not a racing car in the conventional sense, naturally the two people will not agree to run a tire warm-up lap to let the various oil and tire temperatures come up before engaging in a formal duel.

Therefore, if you want to quickly increase the temperature of various oils, you can only increase the engine speed in place. However, because the car is cold, you cannot increase the speed too high, otherwise the oil pipe will easily burst.

In the automotive industry, there is a very popular video of a car anchor taking a test drive. The car was cold and the accelerator blew out the oil seal of a Koenigsegg worth tens of millions. It was a simple repair and maintenance of a rubber ring. The cost may be as high as 28.

Indeed, for supercars and top-performance cars, because the engine performance is excessively squeezed, they appear to be very delicate. If you do not follow the operating procedures, there is a chance of causing a major failure.

In fact, this is not only true for civilian-level supercars and performance cars, but also for racing-level vehicles.

Don’t think that racing cars are skinny and durable. On the contrary, the more sophisticated the racing cars, the more delicate they are like flowers in a greenhouse and cannot withstand any wind or rain.

Take F1, the pinnacle of racing technology, for example. Before each race, special instruments are used to heat the oil to the appropriate temperature before starting the car.

Moreover, the mechanical failure rate of F1 racing cars is "extremely high". If a few cars are not damaged in each race, it is simply a miracle. Even if it can run safely for two races, the engine will be replaced due to excessive wear and tear.

In other words, if the engine of a normal civilian car is well maintained, it can be driven for millions of kilometers, but even if you support it as a father, the engine of F1 can only be driven for a thousand kilometers.

The reason is that the engine power is squeezed too aggressively, which naturally affects the stability of the engine. Think about the concept of squeezing out thousands of horsepower from a 1.6L displacement. It can be said that it has been squeezed dry!
The Volkswagen Scirocco that Xu Jia is driving now is incomparable with the racing car in all aspects of performance, but in terms of durability and stability, it will definitely surpass the track version. Even if the car is cold and the accelerator is hit, the most it will do is accelerate the engine wear, and it is still difficult to cause a malfunction.

The two Volkswagen Sciroccos are hitting the accelerator in such a tacit understanding. Even the slowest driver should understand at this moment that these two people are at odds.

To be honest, in the Chinese racing world, it is rare to see a new driver who has the courage to challenge for the national championship, especially a rally driver who drives a touring car on the track and provokes the track drivers.

Xu Jia's behavior is no different from seeking death.

At this moment, the start lights on the track started to light up. When the red lights went out one by one, and all the green lights came on, the two Volkswagen Sciroccos jumped out almost at the same time.

But what happened next made the drivers at the scene a little unbelievable. That is, under the ejection start operation, Ren Zhiguo was half the front position slower than Xu Jia. Even the gap was still widening on the short straight after the start. big!

"How can this be?"

A touring car player at the scene originally had a smile on his face as if he was watching a show, but when this scene appeared, his expression was completely stunned!
We must know that the Chinese drivers who can come here today have won several national-level championships for the first time. How could they not see the level of control?
In the same standard car, Ren Zhiguo's tires showed slight skidding marks at the start, but Xu Jia clung to the ground.

This means that Xu Jia is better at throttle control and engine speed control than Ren Zhiguo, the national track champion. But the problem is that he is not even a track touring driver. How can a rookie rally driver do this?
"Am I slower than him?"

Ren Zhiguo looked at Xu Jia, who was gradually leading him, with disbelief on his face. He thought this was a race to teach children a lesson, so that they would understand what it means to be a champion driver.

As a result, I was not as good as the opponent, a newcomer in rallying, at the beginning?
For a moment, Ren Zhiguo felt that the scene in front of him was a bit unreal, but he was still a veteran after all. He quickly adjusted his mentality, stepped on the accelerator and tried his best to speed up and bite Xu Jia. The duel had just begun!
The special track renovated by the Bird's Nest is only 2.76 kilometers long, but it has up to 12 curves, which means that on average, you will face a curve every two hundred meters.

Moreover, most of the curves on the indoor track are large-angle curves such as C-turns or U-turns. It is almost difficult to accelerate through the corners at full throttle, and you have to slow down to negotiate the corners.

This is very similar to the short track rally that Xu Jia ran before, except that the road conditions are much better, and the speed has naturally increased a lot, reaching an average of about 120km/h.

The first corner of the Bird's Nest track is a C-shaped curve with a large angle. Under normal circumstances, a car with cold tires needs to go very slowly if it wants to tangentially corner the corner, otherwise it will skid and hit the track protective wall. Moreover, the indoor track pavement material is different from cement or asphalt pavement. It is paved with wooden boards that will not damage the original ground of the venue. Its grip is much stronger than sand, gravel, mud, etc., but it is far better than nothing. Get on the asphalt surface of a standard track.

The reason why this road surface material was chosen is to allow drivers to show some drifting scenes as much as possible during the race. After all, for the vast majority of ordinary viewers, it is difficult to see the technical value of some high-end wiring. On the contrary, the cool drift can stimulate their hormones.

The two cars soon came to the C-turn. According to the public's understanding of rally drivers, Xu Jia would definitely not be able to outrun the track champion Ren Zhiguo if he relied solely on the alignment.

Theoretically, Xu Jia can now drift through corners. After all, with cold tires and weak road grip, as long as the drift center of gravity is perfectly controlled, it will not be much slower than tangent cornering, and may even be faster!

But the problem is that Xu Jia is on the outer lane. If he drifts around the corner, the distance to the ground will be too long. After all, real professional racing cars are not caricatures. They can drift around corners for five or six seconds and glide all the way around.

Just when everyone was wondering what method Xu Jia would choose, he had already passed through the first corner of the Bird's Nest track like a bolt of lightning, choosing a tangent corner!
And Xu Jia's control can be described as perfect, whether it is the timing of braking when entering the corner, the process of finding the APEX point of the corner, or the final full-throttle acceleration time when exiting the corner.

If this wasn't the Bird's Nest National Stadium, hosting the ROC Nations Cup for the first time, people couldn't help but wonder if this was Xu Jia's home stadium. How could he be so familiar with it?
"This level of alignment perfectly controls the balance between grip and speed. If you go faster, you may skid and run off the track. If you go slower, you won't be able to reach this speed."

"This guy Xu Jia is simply better at cornering than a formula driver!"

Chen Congfu, the only professional formula driver here, couldn't help but exclaimed after seeing Xu Jia's cornering maneuvers.

If it weren't for the fact that the event information states that this guy is a rally driver, and the only "big event" he has participated in is the Hong Kong Island Short Track Rally.

Otherwise, he would never believe that this level of tangential cornering could be achieved by a rally driver.

To put it in an exaggerated tone, ordinary track drivers cannot run out of Xu Jia's line. Only formula drivers who pursue the ultimate can do it!
"No wonder he is so confident in answering reporters' questions. He is really strong!"

Han Han also muttered silently, no one understands the current level of domestic professional drivers better than him.

With the strength that Xu Jia has shown so far, even Han Han, the current CTCC annual champion, can't say that he will be able to run at the same speed.

Thinking about when I was watching the Hong Kong news, some people called Xu Jia a genius driver. At that time, Han Han didn't feel anything.

Because there are so many compliments in the country, including himself, he has heard them countless times.

It’s not like Han Han has never seen drivers in the outside world. He knows very well that real talented European and American drivers can reach any level. Even for Hamilton, the F1 champion who has been relatively popular in Europe and the United States in the past two years.

Even if he is a teenager and drives Formula Renault, he will probably win the CTCC annual championship when he comes to China to compete. This is the gap!
Xu Jia now gives Han Han the same feeling as when he first met foreign talented drivers. This is the true strength of genius!

If at the initial stage, Ren Zhiguo still saw a little hope, then when the first corner passed, he was left with only despair.

He has been running professionally in China for many years and has reached the pinnacle of racing, but there has never been an unusual duel that made him feel completely powerless to fight back like he does now.

At every corner, Xu Jia would widen the gap. From half the front of the car at the start to switching tracks after half a lap, Ren Zhiguo had already been left behind by at least 20 meters.

When the exchange entered the inner lane, it became Xu Jia's personal show. He was no longer satisfied with precise alignment, and began to demonstrate drifting corners that was inferior to rally drivers.

The sound of "sizzling" tires rubbing against the ground continued to sound. This front-wheel drive Volkswagen Scirocco felt like Xu Jia was being forced to waltz on the track.

You must know that for drifting, only rear-wheel drive can be called true drift, while front-wheel drive is called tail drift!
More than a dozen participating drivers beside the track, including the leaders of the China Automobile Association and the technical staff of the organizer, all stood there blankly, watching Xu Jia's performance. Stories that could only appear in movie plots in the past were actually played out in front of me today.

The national track race champion driver was crushed by a rookie rally driver!
