Chapter 630 630. True strength

Twenty-year-old Xu Jia is actually not that young, but he is the youngest among the Chinese riders in this ROC.

The reason is that Chinese professional racing lacks a youth training echelon. Except for formula drivers who consciously go abroad for training at a young age, drivers in other racing events can basically only receive professional training after they reach adulthood.

Therefore, this has led to the fact that Chinese drivers are generally older. Talented drivers in their twenties may already be on the F1 track abroad, but most of them are still in their infancy in China.

After He Bing has been a commentator for so many years, Xu Jia is already considered the youngest driver he has ever seen in national-level events.

If he can win, then he can also add the premise of being the most talented!
So calling it the rise of talented Chinese drivers is not an exaggerated adjective.

Cheng Congfu on the track was unaware of the exclamation of the on-site commentator. When turning the corner, he looked at Xu Jia on another parallel track separated by a "wall" from the corner of his eye.

Although the speed difference of 7km/h is not very obvious, for a formula driver at this level, it is enough to see that he is left behind by the opponent.

Seeing Xu Jia's car leading him little by little, Chen Congfu didn't know how to describe his mood at this moment. This kind of helpless lagging behind was far more impactful and shocking than the previous defeat of Ren Zhiguo watching on the court.

To be honest, even though Xu Jia defeated Ren Zhiguo before, Chen Congfu still didn't feel that he would lose.

But now, the situation is far worse than imagined!
However, if you want Chen Congfu to admit defeat, you would be underestimating the strongest formula driver in China.

Just like Xu Jia's belief, it's OK to lose, but not afraid!
At this time, Chen Congfu stepped deeply on the accelerator, and the roaring engine sound began to sound crazily. Then he kept using the paddle in his right hand to increase the speed. He would make Xu Jia understand that he was not a weakling!
Soon the second corner came, and Xu Jia performed very steadily, adopting a standard tangent cornering operation. However, at this time, Chen Congfu stepped on the brakes very late and cornered at an even faster speed.

Even when cornering, because the speed was too fast, the tail wing dangerously hit the separation wall, and finally exited the corner smoothly. But this kind of high-risk control also gave him high-yield rewards. At the second corner, he evened his previous lag, and was once again on the same starting line as Xu Jia!
"Xu Jia's amazing performance seems to have stimulated Chen Congfu. He cannot tolerate being defeated by a newcomer."

"It can be clearly seen that from the second corner, Chen Congfu increased his speed and evened his previous lag."

"He wants to prove his strength and win this showdown between the Chinese car kings!"

After He Bing saw Chen Congfu's fighting spirit, he did not hesitate to praise him.

The essence of motorsport is never a one-sided crushing, but a never-say-die showdown between two masters!

"Come on, Chen Congfu, you are the strongest Chinese driver."

"Winning the title of China's Car King, we support you."

"Go ahead, overtake!"

The current audience was also stimulated after seeing this scene. Many fans stood up excitedly and cheered for Chen Congfu.

After all, compared to newcomers like Xu Jia who have little fan base, Chen Congfu can be said to be the de facto number one in domestic racing. Only this year there is a vague tendency to be surpassed by Han Han.

More importantly, Cheng Congfu is currently competing for the country as a Chinese driver in Formula A1.

Even in e-sports, the popularity of foreign players is higher than that of "civil war", let alone motor sports, so his fans are obviously not in the minority.

As the second corner passed, the parallel track finally began to diverge, and there was no way to directly compare lap times. However, judging from the monitoring equipment at each corner, Chen Congfu's cornering speed is not inferior to Xu Jia's. After the explosion, the two were at a level between them.

Is the situation going to be reversed?
The old drunkard watching this scene from the sidelines subconsciously reached for the call button on his headset.

This is the team's voice call system, which can directly communicate with Xu Jia on the car to provide tactical guidance and provide some track information.

It's just that after the old drunkard put his hand on the button, he always hesitated to press it, because he didn't know whether Xu Jia's current speed was his limit on the field, let alone Xu Jia's mental state at the moment, whether he had reached the limit. On the verge of stress?
After all, this is a national-level event, and the revenue and influence it brings far exceed that of ordinary national-level events.

No matter how amazing Xu Jia's talent is on the car, he is still a rookie after all. Sometimes too much pressure and intervention may not have a positive effect, but will cause the driver to "collapse".

Take the previous e-sports as an example. When newcomers stand on the stage of international competitions, they are already very nervous and exert all their strength. You have to be there to guide them like a BB machine. Maybe everyone will be confused. The results are even worse.

The same is true for racing. Once Xu Jia's psychological quality fluctuates, it may not be the current stalemate, but falling behind.

After hesitating for a few seconds, the old drunkard resolutely pressed the call button on the earphones. He said to Xu Jia in that familiar and indifferent tone.

"Boy, weren't you driving very fast before? Now you are being caught up by Chen Congfu, can't you do it anymore?"

Hearing the old drunkard suddenly say these words, several members of the team looked at him in shock.

Damn it, at this critical moment, you still dare to use this kind of "provocative" method to pressure Xu Jia. Are you really afraid that you will be crushed and lost?
Xu Jia, who was on the racing car, suddenly heard the voice of an old drunkard coming from his earphones. For a moment, he was really "scared".

The reason is that this seems to be the first time during the game that the old drunkard has spoken to himself about the team, and it is really a bit uncomfortable to hear it all of a sudden.

"Even Young Master can give you this answer. Do you still need to ask me?"

Bet right.

These were the three words that came out of the old drunkard's heart after hearing Xu Jia's answer.

At the same time, he had an indescribable complex mood. Not to mention that the outside world did not believe that Xu Jia was a newcomer, even he often did not feel that Xu Jia had any newcomer qualities.

Taking the current dialogue and the psychological quality of terror as an example, does this guy really have the concept of tension in his outlook on life?
"Then when will you surpass Chen Congfu?"

"It's now!"

As Xu Jia's words fell, he also kicked the floor to the bottom, and he had already pulled the engine speed to 10,000 rpm!
You must know that with the layout of the indoor track, the corners are relatively large and narrow, and it is rarely possible to pass more than 200km/h. This is different from the average speed on the F1 track, which exceeds 200km/h. Essential difference. If Xu increased this speed, it would be easy for the tires to lose grip on the ground and spin out of control, and he would be eliminated directly!

This kind of thing is actually not uncommon in the history of the ROC Nations Cup. Even in the history of 09, top F1 champion drivers such as Vettel and Hamilton had crashes into the wall.

Especially for Vettel, his collision happened during the duel with Han Han, but even if he hit the wall, Vettel defeated Han Han.

Sometimes I really have to lament that even the strongest driver like the Chinese double champion is so vulnerable as a rookie in front of Vettel.

Xu Jia's crazy acceleration has obviously put himself into a dangerous situation. Vettel can crash and still be ahead of his opponent, but he cannot overtake Chen Congfu after hitting the wall. Is it necessary to be so aggressive? ?

The answer to this question can be found at the next corner. Xu Jia not only increased the speed, but also delayed the braking point when entering the corner, so the tire grip quickly exceeded the limit after entering the corner.

Even if there is a distance buffer from the inside line to the outside line, it still cannot prevent the car from drifting laterally. This is a typical understeer and head-pushing scene caused by high-speed cornering!

What the hell is this kid doing?

When the old drunkard saw this, his face suddenly became ugly.

He wanted to squeeze Xu Jia's limit and surpass Chen Congfu, because the opponent may be the strongest opponent in the Chinese Car Championship.

If he beats him, Xu Jia will be able to challenge those unattainable gods in the racing world.

But the old drunkard didn't expect that Xu Jia was like a madman. He started to speed up violently without considering the grip of the car. As a result, he started to skid directly after entering the corner. Did he think this was the grip of the asphalt track?

The broadcast footage on the track was also focused on Xu Jia's car. The novice had acted so impressively before, but now he couldn't bear the pressure when he encountered a strong enemy and started to make mistakes?
But it was different from what everyone expected. When Xu Jia's car slid to the edge of the track, the tire was directly blocked by the edge of the road shoulder, and then miraculously regained control!

Road shoulders are something that can be found on the road, but racetrack shoulders are a little different from those on ordinary roads. Its design height is slightly higher, and its friction and hardness are greater, which acts as a safe buffer and protects the track.

It is precisely because of the special properties of track shoulders that many track drivers like to use the road shoulders to corner faster in order to achieve faster cornering speeds.

Most sections of the indoor track shoulders have been replaced by separation walls, but buffer shoulders are still designed in a small number of places.

Xu Jia took advantage of this design, just like the drainage channel cornering in Initial D, using the height difference to block the lateral drift of the car, offset the loss of control caused by understeer, and achieve faster cornering!

This principle sounds very simple, even street racer Takumi Fujiwara has done it, but in fact it requires extremely precise control of the lateral drift force. If the slip is too severe, the road shoulder cannot block it, and it must be just right!
Xu Jia's extreme control also caused various exclamations from the audience, followed by thunderous applause again.

Perhaps among all the drivers competing today, he has the fewest fans, and not many people even remember his name.

But on the track, strength will always win respect for drivers, even if Xu Jia is a complete "newcomer".

This cornering control is so exciting, it can be called the current TOP level operation, the kind that can be included in the post-game highlights. Xu Jia deserves the cheers and applause of the audience!
The same pit crew members, including the old drunkard, all took a deep breath to relieve the tension and pressure in their hearts.

What Xu Jia did just now was like playing with his heartbeat!
"Yes, is this the legendary drainage ditch corner? Use the road shoulder to prevent the car from sliding sideways?"

An audience member also saw the operating principle of Xu Jia, but this kind of theoretical thing had only been seen in comics before. He didn't expect that someone could perform it in reality, and it was still in the ROC Car Championship!

"We're in the lead again. Chen Congfu can't even stop this newcomer. He's too strong!"

"Can China also produce talented drivers? It's really unbelievable."

"A driver who cannot win a world championship is not worthy of being called a genius!"

"Your demands are too high. China may not be able to produce a world champion within ten years."

The audience in the stands began to talk a lot, and Xu Jia on the track had already exchanged tracks with Chen Congfu and came to the outer track.

Even Chen Congfu failed to take the lead on the outer lane. His proficiency in drifting and cornering on the inner lane was completely incomparable to a standard formula driver like him, a cross-border driver like Xu Jia.

This is no longer the stage at the beginning of the game where you can still catch up by playing to the limit.

When Xu Jia's crossed the finish line again, he could already faintly hear the applause of the audience. This was applause for himself!
But there was only a faint smile on the corner of Xu Jia's mouth, not much joy.

The reason is simple. Chen Congfu is indeed the strongest Chinese driver in Formula One, but in fact his strength in field confrontation is not very strong.

When he won the British F3 championship, many people thought it was the beginning, but in fact it was already the peak.

Chen Congfu's real strength is not this kind of short-track confrontation, but the Le Mans long-distance endurance race. All of his highest professional honors were actually created on the Le Mans circuit.

However, at this point in time, Chen Congfu only realized that he was not suitable for the formula, so he chose to run in Germany's DTM next year, and finally went to Le Mans after going round and round, and finally found his own racing project.

Not to mention that this kind of indoor short track also has some pulling properties. Chen Congfu's adaptability to running may not be as good as Han Han's. This is indeed the case in history. Han Han eventually became the second driver of the Chinese team, and Chen Congfu was eliminated.

"Rookie driver Xu Jia won the duel with Chen Congfu and showed extremely wonderful maneuvers during the game!"

"Now Xu Jia's only opponent is the domestic double champion Han Han. If he can really create a miracle and defeat Han Han, he will win the title of China's Car King."

"I simply can't imagine that a 20-year-old newcomer will become the king of Chinese cars. This may create the history of Chinese racing!"
