End of the Century Talented Racer

Chapter 24

The map for this game is Istanbul Circuit.

The Istanbul circuit was designed by the German architect Hermann Tick, and the then Prime Minister of Turkey personally attended the groundbreaking ceremony. The circuit is located in Tuzla, on the Asian side of the Bosporus Bridge, about 50 kilometers.The track design is patchwork, with a level difference of 50 meters and an 8% incline.The Istanbul circuit is one of the three anti-clockwise circuits in the F1 calendar (the other two anti-clockwise circuits are: San Marino Imola Circuit, Brazil Interlagos Circuit).The construction began on September 2003, 9, with a construction area of ​​over 10 million square meters and a cost of about 220 million euros. It is the second racing track built in Turkey. The construction of the grandstand began in June 1.75, and in January 2004 The overall beautification work on the track began, and then it was refurbished and rebuilt several times.

Istanbul Circuit The Istanbul Circuit combines the characteristics of the Hungaroring Circuit in Hungary, the Interlagos in Brazil and the Spa Circuit in Belgium. The Hull Circuit is as grand as the Shanghai International Circuit and is suitable for holding high-level formula races such as F1.The track has a total of 14 curves, including 8 left curves and 6 right curves. The designed maximum speed on the straight track can reach 360 km/h.

But for the powerful drivers with superior skills, the Istanbul circuit has prepared many good opportunities for them to overtake.Because the terrain here is complex, with ups and downs from time to time.In seemingly the same turnaround as in Malaysia and the Shanghai International Circuit, the chances of drivers to overtake are vastly different.If it is not handled properly, it is easy to make low-level mistakes.

The [-] participating drivers are ready in the starting position according to the starting order. The five starting lights are turned on one after another. After all the lights are turned on, the five lights go out together, and the drivers set off one after another.

The excellent start allowed Zhang Yue to rank first, and did not give a chance to the drivers behind. After the start, the first thing to do was to pass through the big straight below the main stand. Of course, no one would question the fact that he passed at full speed on the big straight. Zhang Yue's speed was about 320 kilometers per hour when she braked before reaching the first left turn.

From the track map, it can be clearly seen that Turn 1 is 90 degrees and has obvious downhill characteristics.

Zhang Yue has experienced a lot of track experience these days, and already has some experience. Zhang Yue reduced the gear to the third gear and passed the corner smoothly at a speed of about 160 kilometers per hour.

In fact, Turn 1 and Turn 2 on this track are a combination of turns. Zhang Yue had a rough idea of ​​the best route in his mind. According to the route he had planned in his heart, Zhang Yue carefully passed through this combination of turns. The curves were handled fairly well, and Zhang Yue expressed satisfaction. After exiting the right-hand Turn 2 of this combination bend, Zhang Yue quickly shifted gears, increasing the speed of the car to 200 kilometers per hour.

Zhang Yue glanced at the situation behind by the way. After these two corners, he has pulled away the No.2 vicissitudes of life 3.067.

Zhang Yue couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. Today seemed a little different from the past... Was he too strong now, or was the opponent he matched with today too weak?
Such a thought quickly floated in Zhang Yue's mind.

Turn 2 in front of Turn 3 is a very long right-hand curve. There is no doubt that there is also an acceleration here. Zhang Yue accelerates the speed to 300 kilometers per hour, and the one who is about to pass is the left- Right-left combined corner, which means Zhang Yue has to slam on the brakes as soon as the speed comes up.

The first thing to deal with is the No. 3 turn to the left. In fact, it is the fastest of these three consecutive turns. Zhang Yue reduced the gear to the third gear and passed at a speed of 145 kilometers per hour.But Zhang Yue didn't dare to slack in the slightest when driving out of this corner. He didn't dare and couldn't swing too far, because he had to stick to the left side of the track to prepare for entering the No. 4 turn.Zhang Yue downshifted to 120 kilometers per hour. In addition, it is very important to grasp the apex position of this bend, and brake before entering the 5th turn.

Zhang Yue's spirit has been in a tense state during these corners. He wants to make sure that he is taking the best route.

After going through this left bend, Zhang Yue also saw the No. 6 turn, which also turns left, and it forms a double-vertex corner with No. 5 turn.But at the exit of Turn 6, the track will become wider and wider, so Zhang Yue can always accelerate out at this time.

Coming out of Turn 6, there is a straight road ahead, and the speed of the car must be as fast as possible.But Zhang Yue had to step on the brakes heavily when reaching Turn 7 (hairpin turn), which would put enormous pressure on the rear wheels of the car, which was not inferior to the pressure when accelerating out of the corner.This hairpin bend has a slow downhill, and the speed through it should not be too fast, about 115 kilometers per hour.

Coming out of Turn 7 is a short track acceleration, followed by Turn 8, the most interesting and difficult turn on the entire track. Turn 8 is a continuous left turn. It is actually composed of 4 vertices, and the route through it is reflected as three vertices.The state of the car when driving here will be pushed to the limit, and the right front wheel is under great pressure; it is also a challenge to the driver's driving skills. He must master the best passing route, and any small mistakes will lead to serious consequences.

从复杂的8号弯出来，9号弯已经在一条平坦直路的前方向。9号弯和10号弯形成一个左-右方向的连续弯。赛车从六档时速300公里骤减到110公里通过9号弯。然后加速右转通过10号弯，在这里的出弯速度将对后面的长直道速度带来很大影响。

The back straight of this track is also very characteristic. The long straight is broken by a right bend, that is, turn 11.The speed through this corner is as high as 300 kilometers per hour, and then the car continues to accelerate to 320 kilometers per hour.At this time, the speed of the car reaches the fastest, and it will soon enter the slowest point at the end of the track, which is also the best overtaking position.

最后的三个弯形成左-右-左连续弯道，其中最有趣的当数头一个左弯12号弯。因为它后面的13号弯是一个右弯，所以我们可能会在比赛中看到两部赛车在12号弯齐头并进争抢车位的景象。12号弯的时速只有90公里，时速110公里的13号弯使抢位的赛车排好次序进入最后一个弯道。赛车从14号弯以每小时110公里的速度出来就再次驶入主看台大直道开始新的一圈。
