Half an hour later, all the judges had complicated expressions on their faces.
"This is fake!" Someone took a deep breath and said.
"How could this data come from a rookie?" Another person said.
"Could it be that the team found a substitute for him? Let the substitute complete the three hundred laps?" a person next to him speculated.
"A substitute? This is impossible. Isn't there a video? The driver on the video is obviously Zhang Guan!" Someone next to him immediately denied this speculation.
"I heard that Hollywood's makeup technology has become better and better in recent years. Maybe if you find a top special effects makeup artist, you can have this effect!" The person who spoke said half-jokingly.
"There may be this kind of makeup technology, but don't forget, how many drivers are there in the world who can run this kind of data at Silverstone?"
This sentence instantly caused everyone to fall into silence again.
Indeed, from the data point of view, it is simply perfect!
The committee members present are all insiders, and some of them are also racing drivers. They are very familiar with old tracks like Silverstone. Many of them can simulate it in their minds just by looking at the braking and cornering controls. Race car drivers on the track. As for the data in front of me, not everyone can beat it, even among active racers. Or among the current racers, there are many who do not have the skills to run such data.
This kind of data is not something that can be achieved by just any stunt driver. It is data that can only be achieved by top racing drivers. There are only a few top racing drivers in the world, Alonso? Raikkonen? Hamilton? Obviously no one among them will run laps for Zhang Guan.
"Oh my gosh, I think this is so crazy! Zhang Guan can really drive a racing car, and he can also run the data of top drivers! I have never heard of him participating in a racing competition!" Someone once again expressed surprise. voice.
"Honestly, just based on this data, he is qualified to get a Formula One super license!" Another person immediately said.
"Gentlemen, what are we waiting for? Come and sign for this new super driver's license!" Bernie said as he took the lead in signing his name.
Then, he looked at the other committee members who were signing and took a long breath.
“Perhaps the Formula One world will change in the new season!”
…
Barcelona, Spain.
Barcelona's Circuit de Catalunya is internationally recognized as the most perfect circuit and is also the venue for the Spanish round of the Formula One race. This circuit is one of the most difficult and demanding of all F1 circuits, offering almost every challenge found in modern racing. Drivers have to contend with three U-turns, several fast corners, and some gradients. In particular, the corners before the sprint straight are even more difficult, and the driver has to withstand centrifugal force four times his own body weight. Many people believe that if a car can do well on the Barcelona track, it can do well on any track.
It is for this reason that it is used as the location for the last public test of the new Formula One season.
At this time, on the track, a car with a red base and yellow assists was particularly eye-catching because it was constantly setting the fastest lap time.
This is the racing car of China Power!
The driver on the car is Barrichello. Since Zhang Guan has not yet obtained his super driver's license, he was unable to participate in this last public test. However, the performance of Barrichello, a veteran, was not inferior to the young people at all.
"So fast! Force China's car is so fast! It has set the fastest lap time three times in a row!"
"How is it possible? A team on the verge of bankruptcy can actually become the first place in public testing! Even Ferrari and McLaren were suppressed by them! Why on earth is this?"
"Last year's Honda team only scored 14 points, ranking second to last among all teams, only slightly better than Force India. I didn't expect that they could achieve such good results just after changing owners. Although this It’s just a public test and not a real match, but based on this situation, maybe they can hope to finish in the top three in the new season!”
"Ferrari and McLaren probably haven't exerted their strength yet, but even so, it is a very remarkable achievement for a new team to take first place in the test! Ross Brawn is indeed Ross Brawn!"
"But I think Force China's car is much faster than other teams. In that lap just now, we almost had a 1 second advantage. This is too outrageous!"
"Perhaps there is something unique about Force China's racing car design. Yes, it must look like this!"
While everyone was talking, the racing designers of each team had already enlarged the photos of the China Force racing cars to look for the so-called "unique features".
Red Bull Racing.
As a master of racing design, Adrian Newey once designed championship racing cars for Williams and McLaren. In the future, the Red Bull racing car he designed won the Formula One championship for four consecutive years because of his With the emergence of F1, F1 even specially formulated rules to limit the space for technological innovation.
At this time, Newey was holding a picture of the rear of the China Power racing car, with an expression of admiration on his face.
"Double-layer diffuser with a hole in the middle! This increases downforce by at least 20%! Genius design! In other words, it perfectly exploits a loophole in the rules!" Newey sighed.
Newey is best at aerodynamics. The car he designed is absolutely the most aerodynamically perfect. When he saw the diffuser on the rear of the China Force car, he immediately knew why China Force was so fast.
The car designers of other teams may not have reacted as quickly as Newey, but after the test, they carefully analyzed the photos of the car and discovered the problem one after another.
Racing diffusers are a loophole in the rules, and in the new season, more than one Ross Brawn is tampering with diffusers. Williams Racing Team and Toyota Racing Team have both made changes to the diffusers, but their changes have not Ross Brown is just so thorough.
Ten teams participated, and three teams took advantage of the loopholes in the diffuser. Of course, other teams could not take advantage of it. Since it was a loophole in the rules, everyone exploited it together. For example, Ferrari, McLaren and other teams, although they were a step late, they They also began to study double-layer diffusers at the first time, hoping to increase the speed of their racing cars.
In the end, the China Force team successfully won the first place in this pre-race test. This made many people realize that Force China is not the street racing team that people imagined. Force China is more like a giant dragon that has just shown its fangs!
However, there is one team that does not want to see the Force China team win the first place in the test, and that is of course Force India.
…
Omi smashed the teacup in his hand on the ground angrily, and the pieces immediately scattered around.
"Damn it! It's so damnable! They actually got the first place in the test competition! They were able to build such a fast car!" Omi then cursed: "Trash! This bunch of trash we raised! What kind of trash car did they design? Car! We’re in last place again this year, worse than a team that almost went bankrupt!”
"Sir, the reason why the Force China team is so fast is because they use a double-layer diffuser." Someone immediately said.
"Then we want this too! Go and put this double-layer diffuser on our racing car right away!" Omi said immediately.
"Sir, every part of the car has strict aerodynamic indicators. It cannot be changed by changing it! What's more, this double-layer diffuser seems to be controversial at present. Although it cannot be said that it is definitely against the rules, at least we I think this is a loophole in the rules." Another person said.
"Violation? Please explain to me in detail." Omi said immediately.
The man immediately explained the double-layer diffuser and the requirements of the rules in detail.
"Drilling holes at the bottom is not allowed? Although the diffuser is on the side of the tail, it is installed at the bottom? So the diffuser can be regarded as a part of the bottom as well as a part of the tail?" Omi looked in his eyes A cold light flashed, he thought for a moment, and immediately said: "Go and prepare documents for me immediately. We have to report to the International Automobile Federation that China Force's double-layer diffuser violates the rules!"
