Automotive Black Technology Chapter 768: : This is not a dark horse, but a lazy donkey!
www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of automotive black technology!
Because the 24 Hours of Le Mans is conducted with substitutions of people but not cars, protecting the car is the top priority for the drivers at all times.
So even if everyone is eyeing the right to start the first round, they will still have reservations during qualifying. Although starting the first round is a pleasant thing, if the car is damaged due to excessive pursuit of this point, it will be more than worth the gain.
What are the criteria for winning or losing at Le Mans?
The car with the longest mileage within twenty-four hours wins!
In a fundamental sense, Le Mans is a game where the last man wins while maintaining speed.
So in the qualifying stage, there was a driver who broke the historical lap time, which directly cheered up the audience!
When Li Fanyu returned to the starting point and accepted the starting order arranged by the competition team, the audience talked a lot;
"God! Which team is this? Why have I never seen it before?"
"I just saw the information about the participating teams. It seems to be a small car manufacturer in China. It has only been established for two years. There is only one car participating this time."
"Oh! It's amazing. It's really unexpected that such a car manufacturer can participate in the LMP1 group."
"The quality of the drivers in this team is beyond my expectation! Oh my God, I wonder if you just noticed the real-time broadcast of the qualifying lap. His route selection and cornering style made me feel like Alonso has arrived. The illusion of Le Mans!"
"When you say that, I feel a little bit too! Why does it feel familiar? Who is this driver?"
“I didn’t pay attention, but when the participating teams were introduced before, it seemed that the main driver of the Zhengxin Racing Team was their chairman.”
"Wow! So awesome? The chairman personally participated in Le Mans?"
"Yes, I have a fighting spirit. This time I thought that Mercedes-Benz and Aryan Automobile Manufacturers would withdraw from the LMP1 group, and the excitement of the game would be affected. It would become a drama where the Euroleague dominates and competes with Nissan and Toyota for the championship. . Now that there is such a quasi-dark horse, the game will definitely be more exciting!”
"Well! Looking forward to the performance of this team! By the way, what is the name of this team?"
"True faith!"
Li Fanyu would never have imagined that just by driving the Jinya R for one lap, he would attract a large number of fans to the team and be given the aura of a quasi-dark horse.
In fact, he was very worried about the upcoming race.
According to the rules of Le Mans, in order to ensure the accident rate and the excitement of the race. Each driver may not drive for more than four consecutive hours and the lead driver may not be on track for more than fourteen hours.
Given this rule, he needs to spend at least ten hours on the site as a spectator.
Through the qualifying match just now, he felt a slightly different atmosphere.
It seems like...the EuroLeague's No. 3 car on 5.6.7 is eyeing me.
In order to win the championship to the greatest extent possible and to increase the winning rate, major car manufacturers will adopt the strategy of multiple teams competing at the same time. Among the major car manufacturers in the LMP1 group, except Toyota, which has two 11.13 cars, the rest all compete with three cars.
And Zhengxin only has one car.
If something happens, that's **** up.
For an ultra-high-intensity endurance race like Le Mans, accidents such as collisions are not too common. With Han Yue and Chen Chen's skills, if they drive normally, they can't say how good their results will be, but at least they won't fall behind at the bottom.
But in the fierce confrontation, the variables are too great!
The Zhengshin team cannot afford a serious accident - because the black and red painted Jinya R is Zhengshin's only hope of winning the championship!
With this worry, after finishing the starting order, he came to the station and called Chen Chen and Han Yue to his side.
"The main race will start soon. According to our pre-determined strategy, Han Yue, you will run for the first hour."
Han Yue nodded, "Don't worry, Director Li, I will take advantage of starting in the first round and try my best to maintain the leading position!"
"No." Li Fanyu shook his head, "The plan has changed. Don't care too much about the ranking, you have to do your best to protect the car!"
Han Yue was surprised: "Huh?"
Striving for the first round of the car is something that the three of them have already decided on. Han Yue took advantage of a good start by starting first and continued to maintain the leading position, creating a favorable situation for Li Fanyu to change after the first pit stop.
Why is it now a guaranteed car?
Seeing that he didn't understand, Li Fanyu recounted what happened at the Dunlop Curve just now. The Euroleague No. 7 almost forced himself out of the curve by using the Dunlop Curve and the Mulsanne Straight.
Although Li Fanyu did not describe the situation in detail, Han Yue and Chen Chen broke out in a cold sweat after hearing the details.
The Dunlop Corner is the fastest corner on the entire 13-kilometer Le Mans track, and the Mulsanne Straight is also a stage where cars are very fast and accidents are very likely to occur.
If there is even a slight collision in these two stages, it is very likely that the car will run off the track due to the speed of nearly 400 kilometers per hour.
Although the anti-collision level of the Jiniya R is enough to cope with such a collision, the driver will be safe and sound. But if there is really a problem in these two stages, there is definitely no need to think about the next game!
When the car is repaired, the competition will definitely be over, and we can still talk about the ranking!
So after listening to Li Fanyu's instructions, Han Yue immediately said that she would make every effort to keep the car intact.
After some preparations, the race started on time at 3pm local time!
The weather was surprisingly sunny and the temperature on the track was 22 degrees Celsius. This is an extremely favorable environment for both the driver and the car.
So after the start, the competition entered a fierce stage.
Light up as soon as you go!
However, under such favorable conditions, the No. 17 car of Zhengxin Racing Team, which had high hopes from some spectators, lost the leading position in less than seven laps under the strong conditions of starting in the lead!
And the loss was very simple. Not to mention falling out of the LMP group echelon, even some of the leading cars in the LMG group that started later had to catch up with the No. 17 Zhengshin car!
From ranking third after the start to ranking 23rd now, this strong contrast directly shocked the audience who were previously interested in Zhengxin Team!
"Oh my God! Did the qualifying just now use up all the luck of the Zhengshin team? This is unbelievable!"
"Yes, it's just Fake! I just bought 200 euros to bet that Zhengxin Racing Team will take the top three in the LMP1 group at the pace of a dark horse! Fake!"
"Hahaha! Jerry, I'm afraid you'll lose all your two hundred euros!"
"Damn it! This **** team just looked like they were on a chicken's blood during qualifying. Who the **** could have expected that they would immediately wither after entering the race! It's so **** deceptive! ”
"Huh? Just now, the driver of the Zhengxin Racing Team, Li Fanyu, drove the No. 17 car in qualifying, and now the No. 2 driver, Han Yue, is driving. Could it be that there is a big technical gap between the drivers of this team?"
“From first to last, the gap is so **** big!”
"This is not called a gap, this is called funny!"
While everyone was talking about it, the eighth round ended and the rankings on the bulletin board were refreshed again.
In just one lap, Zhengshin’s No. 17 car dropped another three spots...
Seeing this scene, the spectators who had just bought Zhengxin at the betting office in the viewing area were so angry that they tore their lottery tickets into pieces!
Just over half an hour after the start of the game, Zhengxin went from a "dark horse" to a "cheating lazy ass"...
