423 Chapter 422 - Free Practice Match

The Isle of Man TT race is the longest track in the world, not one of them, with a total length of 60.7 kilometers and a total of 226 corners of different sizes, making it the longest in the world.

Of course, if you are tough, you can say that an 80-kilometer highway is a track, and there is nothing wrong with it.

However, as the oldest game on the planet, the Isle of Man TT has been in existence for 104 years. Except for a few years during World War I and World War II, it was canceled once because of foot-and-mouth disease in 01. It has never been cancelled.

This year is the 92nd Isle of Man TT.

Bu Zelu's flying circle was not in a hurry, he needed to be familiar with the road and test some performance of the locomotive.

'It seems easier to drive this time? 'Bu Zelu did not cross the finish line, but returned directly to the Pit House, so there was no timer.

That's the way it is in practice, it doesn't matter if you're running the time or testing the performance of the motorcycle, after an hour and a half, everyone's gone.

'Is it (Imperial)'s hidden skill? Bu Zelu felt that his intermediate riding skills had improved again. Simply put, it was a feeling, a kind of mastery of motorcycles.

As Bu Zelu returned, he began to communicate with the engineers around him. After having a new experience, he needs to improve the car, especially in terms of gear ratio. He needs more extreme support. After all, his driving style It has been improved.

20 minutes later, Bu Zelu came out of the Pit House again, and after a simple tire grinding in the maintenance area, he began to drive into the track.

Hitting the accelerator, raising the front of the car, and jumping out suddenly, this is not a gimmick. In a motorcycle race, raising the head is to refill the fuel, so that the fuel can rush into the pipeline more quickly.

Lifting the head to replenish oil is a technique commonly used by motorcyclists.

Of course, in normal times it was just pure show off and playfulness.

After 2 minutes, Bu Zelu completed the flying lap, did not enter the entrance of the maintenance area, but directly crossed the starting line and started his first lap.

At this time, the people from Bu Zelu's team had already stood by the paddock and began to help Bu Zelu time, which they had already discussed.

If the condition of this lap is good, then run a timed lap to see how the result is. If the condition is not good, return directly.

At the same time, at a corner in the maintenance area of ​​the track, there is also a crew member who also uses earphones for timing.

If Bu Zexiu did not cross the finish line in this lap, then a single-lap speed can also be measured before deceleration, and the calculation of the remaining last corner and entry can be calculated.

Bu Ze's running laps are not for the organizers, but for their crews to test and record themselves. It's just a practice session, not a qualifying session.

However, Bu Zelu must have a result in the second practice match or the third practice match, otherwise he will not be able to participate in the qualifying match.

It doesn't matter the first practice session.

3:45 seconds.

With the data of the first lap, Bu Zelu began to slow down slowly, and he still completed the timing of the first lap.

Did not turn directly into the pit lane at the end of the timing lap.

After another lap, Bu Zelu did not stay on the field, but turned into the maintenance area and returned to the Pit House.

"3 minutes and 45 seconds! Very impressive!" The team's engineer gave Bu Zelu a thumbs up.

Bu Zelu frowned when he learned of this result, but no one saw him wearing a helmet. This result was not the best for him.

However, this result is already in the middle and late stages of the competition in recent years.

If you compare it with last year, you should be able to rank around 15th.

But in the eyes of the team's engineers, Bu Zelu, a tennis player, suddenly came to participate in the highest level of motorcycle competition, and they were already excited enough to achieve such a result.

And when Bu Zelu's results appeared, the organizer's commentators also began to explain that Bu Zelu is also a star in the motorcycle circle.

After all, he has the motorcycle championship results of the Dakar Rally, coupled with his achievements in tennis, he is no less than the legendary driver 'Dunlop' 'Ian Hutchinson'.

Even the commenters used the name 'joye' as a joke, because Dunlop, the most legendary driver of the Isle of Man TT, was also named joye.

And the other Ian Hutchinson, like Bu Zelu, completed his personal epic five-time crown last year.

In 2010, there were two individual five-time champions, Bu Zelu's Tennis Open Grand Slam and the year-end finals.

Ian Hutchinson also won the first five-time crown in the Isle of Man TT. In just one competition, he participated in five groups of competitions and won all of them.

However, in September last year, Ian Hutchinson participated in the motorcycle race at Silverstone and broke his leg, and he is now recovering.

Although Bu Zelu has signed up for all categories this year, if he really wants to run, Bu Zelu will only run in 2-3 categories.

But Bu Zelu didn't expect to run so much, he just needed to complete the super motorcycle group, and he was more cautious about killing himself.

A guarantee, which is required by the system task, as for the remaining groups, Bu Zelu is also hesitating.

The system didn't force him to issue tasks for him, he just signed up for it.

This is why there are 3 more cars in his garage, which are all for different groups of motorcycles. In addition to these three cars, there are two spare cars.

But Bu Zelu doesn't want to use it, because using the spare motorcycle means that he crashed, and only the car that is broken and cannot be repaired will be replaced with a spare motorcycle.

After re-tuning, Bu Zelu rode his super-modified motorcycle into the track again to start practicing. Today, he has no special pursuit of speed.

He is just getting used to the beast under him. Sleeping Space does not have a matching motorcycle. He needs to fully grasp the performance of this car and the limit of every corner.

Choose the bending route according to the actual situation, and wait until the Sleeping Arhat space before proceeding with the improved running method.

During the 1 hour free practice session, Bu Zexiu would run on the track as long as there was a "window" and try not to return to the maintenance area.

The so-called 'window' is the term on the closed track.

That is, the distance between the front car, the rear car, and the Bize shoes, on a relatively clear track, you can run your own rhythm to the greatest extent.

Otherwise, if the vehicle in front is too slow and needs to overtake, it will inevitably affect the speed of the vehicle. Similarly, if the vehicle behind is chasing too closely, whether the vehicle behind overtakes or not will affect him.

So the 'window' is very important in practice.

Even sometimes Buzelu will listen to the command of the crew in the earphones to slow down or accelerate, creating a 'window' for themselves to compete.

The time for the first practice session was suspended, and today Bu Zelu's best time was fixed at 3:32 seconds, and the top speed was only 211 km/h. (Mile times are omitted for convenience)

Such a result is neither good nor bad, at least from the perspective of the whole team, Bu Zelu's practice match today is already perfect. He, a freshman from the Isle of Man, can run such a single lap time, which really surprised the whole team.

This result has reached the 13th place last year.

And the crew knew very well that the locomotive was still being debugged, and Bu Zelu was not running at full strength. Many times, the crew would notify Bu Zelu to slow down at a certain stage.

The Isle of Man TT does not have brakes, only gear shifting to slow down. If the brakes are pressed, except for extremely low speeds, the other case is that the car will overturn.

"Huh..." Bu Zelu replaced all the equipment on his body, and exhaled lightly.

Today he ran 10 laps, but fortunately he survived. Then he leaned on the seat, and Bu Zelu closed his eyes to feel his heartbeat.

This was the first time he ran a race like this in reality. The speed was so fast that he didn't dare to relax at all during the race.

The only thing you can do is stare at the limited field of vision ahead, and simulate the next corner in your head, without even having time to pay attention to whether there are gravel or the like on the road.

Because if the tire crushes a stone, by the time he reacts, he must be in the air or rolling on the ground.

There is no other possibility. Even in the practice race, the average speed of all motorcycles is over 200 kilometers. At this speed, they have to keep entering corners, so there is no time to pay attention to the road conditions.

You must know that in a racing competition, the faster the speed, the narrower the driver's field of vision. At such a high speed, the line of sight of Buze shoes can only be in a V-shaped 100-degree angle of view.

And as the speed increases, this viewing angle will become narrower and narrower.

"Look what, buddy survived, can't you take a breath, calm down!" Bu Zelu suddenly grinned at the camera in the room and said.

This was arranged by Daniel. He seriously hired a photographer to record all his experiences from the French Open to the Isle of Man TT.

As for some private time, of course it will not be filmed, just like Isis's face has never appeared in the camera.

"Let's go home, we can have a good meal today!" Bu Zelu stretched his waist. Today his family will transfer from Liverpool to the Isle of Man by ship.

Bu Zelu is already used to this camera. Anyway, these things are all his own. No matter whether it is production or editing, some sensitive things in the pictures of these videos will not appear.

And some more sensitive scenes will not be taken by photographers, such as the second floor of his apartment, which is where he and his wife stay.

This documentary will deliberately avoid the contact scenes between Bu Zelu and the female relatives, and even if there are, they are all exchanges and work scenes.

Going home in the car, Bu Zelu was very quiet all the way, closing his eyes and thinking about today's 10-lap race.

Not long after he returned to the farm on the island, his family members had already arrived, and Bu Zelu was helplessly taught by his family members crazily. He had expected this situation a long time ago.

However, the two nephews who haven't seen each other for a long time have not recognized their birth, and they have grown up a lot. This will happen to be hugged by Bu Zelu as a shield to play with.

I remember last year when the two little ones couldn't walk, sat on him and even peed all over him, now the two little ones are running around on the rug where they are stumbling.
