Riding a Kawasaki H2 to chase the high-speed rail, the school beauty was moved to tears

As the car entered the exit channel, Qin Chuan pulled down the lens of his helmet and tore off a piece of film, then carefully felt the changes in the car.

Qin Chuan is actually very much looking forward to the upgrade of this racing car, although he knows that this device is likely to affect the results of this race.

Not noticing any changes, Qin Chuan also realized that he was a little anxious. He hadn't even got on the track yet, so what was he waiting for?

"Qinchuan is the fifth one to go out. KTM has brought some new upgrades today. However, their upgrades this time are the same as Ducati's last month. You can't see anything from the outside."

"I have a hunch that Qin Chuan and his team probably knew what Ducati had upgraded in the last race, and then secretly imitated it. Otherwise, the two would not have such similar experiences, with neither car having any exterior changes."

Seeing Qin Chuan's performance, Xiao Zhang looked over immediately. Ducati only had one private upgrade opportunity, which had already been used in the previous stop. And according to the rules, Ducati was not allowed to use the kit that had been tested in the previous stop in this stop, so essentially, the strength of Ducati's car in this stop was weaker than in the previous stop.

What Ducati tested at the previous stop was not allowed to be used any longer, due to their privileged Class A factory restrictions.

KTM is different. KTM has three testing opportunities, and everything tested can continue to be used.

In terms of rule differences and restrictions, KTM is treated much better than Ducati.

Of these three times, one was a collective upgrade of the Red Ring track, and the remaining two were private. In terms of number, KTM has one more time than Ducati, which is also a preferential treatment for disadvantaged racing car manufacturers.

The GP competition rules officially adopt this restriction to maintain a balance in the performance differences between car manufacturers.

If you are strong, you can't test more or develop more. It is definitely very difficult to develop a car without enough races in GP to test data.

But this is not all bad. With less development, car manufacturers have to spend less on research and development. On the contrary, KTM has more testing opportunities, but they also have to pay more. This can be considered a balance.

Aprilia, who is at the same privilege level as KTM, also has the same number of times as them. As for the R series, which has an even lower privilege level than KTM, they have more times.

At present, it seems that the upgrades of Ducati and KTM are the most useful, or their drivers have made the cars perform better.

Aprilia has certainly improved, but the drivers of the cars are all in the fifth to tenth place range and are not even in the camera range, so it is relatively not that obvious.

As soon as Xiao Zhang said this, Stoner and the others standing in the P room looked at each other. They had to admit that this commentator's sense of smell was really sharp, even sharper than some of the old guys in the paddock. He guessed it right.

"All drivers, come on stage, the first practice session begins! Qin Chuan didn't push the speed too fast at the beginning!"

As Xiao Zhang's voice fell, Wei Ran's voice immediately followed, and the two began to explain alternately.

At the same time, off the field, driving out of the P room and stepping onto the track, Qin Chuan's eyes quickly focused on the track, controlling the car to accelerate and start to set laps.

The Valencia Circuit is one of the most famous circuits in Eastern Gambia. As the final battle track of the GP, it is also the most exciting track for championship competitions over the years. This track is extremely important to every driver, so there are many drivers who are good at this track.

Not to mention Martin, the local East Italian rider, the Horse King, even Peco and Beast from the Ducati factory team are very good at this track. They are from the country of Xiaoli. Qin Chuan won the championship here last year and is quite familiar with this track.

After a rough glance, the memories in Qin Chuan's mind began to emerge rapidly, and slowly began to overlap with the track in front of him.

rc16升档，1档进2档，2档进3档，3档再进4档。

The gears are off the charts and the car accelerates at full speed.

The finishing straight line of Valencia is about 340 meters, which is not very long. The current highest speed is 338 kilometers per hour achieved by Ducati. KTM's speed here last year reached , which is not much slower than Ducati.

After Qin Chuan stepped onto the track, he quickly lowered himself to accelerate, the RC16 roared wildly, and the car began to accelerate in a straight line.

The vehicle speed officially exceeded 300 kilometers when it reached the fifth gear, and reached 360 kilometers after the sixth gear.

The final speed is about 2km higher than last year.

The straight line of more than 800 meters passed quickly, with strong wind surging in his ears. The edge of Qin Chuan's leather jacket was blown up and down by the wind. Qin Chuan did not care about his tail speed. The tail speed data just out of P was not accurate.

Because he did not pass the last corner, but used the speed increased by exiting the P channel, the final speed was slightly higher. Normally, Qin Chuan estimated that it would be around 340.

Turn 1 at Valencia is a left turn. Qin Chuan braked on the outside, his body straight, his left leg extended, and the car braked hard to slow down.

Accompanied by the sound of downshifting, the car slowed down and quickly entered the curve, turning left.

The turning angle of Turn 1 is not large, about 70 degrees. If it is less than 90 degrees, this turn cannot be strictly considered a right-angle turn, but only a high-speed turn. However, due to its special position, at the end of the long straight line, this turn can be handled as a right-angle turn.

Qin Chuan controlled the shaking of the car body and kept his knees close to the ground. After reaching the throttle point, Qin Chuan began to turn the throttle with his right hand and his body began to return to its position synchronously, turning at high speed along the route inside and outside the racing car.

The entry into Turn 1 was perfect.

Coming out of Turn 1 is a small straight line of more than 300 meters. Qin Chuan straightened the car body instantly when it was thrown to the outside line. He grasped the timing just right. After the car was straightened, it accelerated in a straight line. Here Qin Chuan subconsciously wanted to push the preload lever in his left hand.

Just when his fingers were about to touch, Qin Chuan reacted subconsciously and retracted his fingers immediately. The shock absorbers of the car automatically sank and started to turn.

Qin Chuan turned on his full senses, placing his entire center of gravity on the rear end of the vehicle, carefully observing the changes in the car.

It's not about observing the speed, the speed is 100% faster than the manual one. Just as their analysis at the last stop, the real strength of this rear shock preload device is not in the sinking area, but in the rebound area, which optimizes the area that the driver could not control before.

Without control, drivers can't perform to perfection. Now that machines have achieved this, they are definitely faster than humans.

After exiting the corner and speeding up, and confirming that there was no problem with the shock absorber, Qin Chuan felt relieved. He stepped on the accelerator and accelerated with all his strength. At the same time, the car had arrived at Turn 2.

The 300-meter straight line is fleeting for a factory car.

Turn 2 is the same as Turn 1, also a left turn, but the angle is very different. Turn 2 is an extra-large hairpin corner, and Qin Chuan needs to brake heavily to slow down before entering the turn.

The shock absorber had just finished rebounding when Qin Chuan stretched out his left leg again. The RC16 under his crotch bottomed out as he braked, and the rear wheel left the ground, so he braked hard to slow down into the turn.

The screech of brakes sounded.

The car slows down on the outside line, then approaches the inner bend, and after hugging the center of the bend, it quickly accelerates and opens the throttle, and the car exits the bend again.

There are only three corners on the Valencia circuit where the rear wheel preload device needs to be activated, one is the last turn, Turn 14, one is Turn 1, and the remaining one is Turn 6.

There aren’t many corners, and those that do offer little advantage in turning on the preload device.

There is a big difference between the Valencia Circuit and the Malay Circuit. Malay has three large straight lines, each of which is longer than the finish straight line of Valencia. The longer the straight line and the faster the speed out of the corner, the more advantage there is.

The exits of Turn 1 and Turn 6 of the Valencia Circuit are both short straight lines of several hundred meters, so the advantage is very small.

This is also the reason why Ducati did not upgrade at this station, but Qinchuan upgraded. However, John thought that Qinchuan had little chance of winning, because even if this thing is fast, the failure rate is difficult to control.

And in Valencia, both Peco and Martin are very strong, and there are not many people as fast as Qin Chuan.

Ducati's research and development is definitely more mature than the ones they rushed to produce, but even so there is still a 50% error rate. They failed in one of the two races, which they really dare not say.

To put it bluntly, it is possible that both games were cancelled.

The device has a high error rate, so it’s useless for them to believe in Qin Chuan’s strength.

But it's not all bad news. There is some good news. KTM has learned from Ducati's lesson and designed a simple reset button on the left side of Qinchuan's handlebar, just in front of the manual trigger preload device. The general meaning of this button is that if a mistake is made, it can be reset manually.

Qin Chuan has never tried this thing, but he estimates that even if he has adjusted it, the loss of rhythm will be very great.

For example, as happened to Peco before, by the time you realize that the car is stuck, it has already exited the corner. By the time you adjust, the speed out of the corner has already been lost a lot.

"Qin Chuan is coming out of Turn 2. He has maintained a pretty good speed in the first two turns. Now we are coming to Turn 3!"

Xiao Zhang followed the car with his eyes all the way, and the RC16 quickly turned into Turn after exiting Turn .

Turn 3 is still a left turn, but the angle is very small and it is a high-speed turn. The car enters the turn quickly, speeds up after entering the turn, and comes to Turn 4 below.

After reaching Turn 4, we finally arrived at the right turn, the first right turn of the entire race, Turn 4, a right-angle turn.

Except for the 300-meter straight connection between Turn 1 and Turn 2, the connection distances between Turns 2, 3 and 4 are very short. Although Turn 4 is a corner that requires turning over and heavy braking, the probability of a driver overtaking is actually not high.

Because the connection distance between the thirty turns is too short, but fortunately Turn 3 is the first high-speed turn, overtaking is generally possible.

First turn over, then brake hard to slow down, and after slowing down, the car enters Turn 4 steadily.

Enter the corner, stick to the center of the corner, and drive out of the corner with full force.

"At the end of the first section, we can see that Qin Chuan ran very fast in the first section. It seems that he has no intention of stopping. He ran at full speed right from the start, and the car was shaking quite a lot. I take back what I said before."

"In the practice match, Qin Chuan was much bolder than Peko in the last race. I am a little curious about what KTM has upgraded this time."

After driving out of the first section, Xiao Zhang summarized Qin Chuan's performance in the first section. He was very fast, which could be seen from his speed. He directly ranked first among all the drivers who had run through the first section so far. Secondly, the car shook a lot, which showed that Qin Chuan was working very hard.

He did not really run for leisure purposes, which was very different from Peko's performance in the last practice race. Although Peko's last race could not be called a leisure run, he ran very carefully. Today Qin Chuan ran very boldly.

This made Xiao Zhang overturn his own predictions.

Aren't they both upgrading the same thing?

Well...it seems so.

Inside the ktmp room, everyone stared at the screen without blinking. John's palms were already sweating. To be honest, he was very nervous at the moment.

Essentially, they don't want Qin Chuan to run so fast, for the same reason as Ducati before, they are afraid of damaging the upgrade kit on the car.

They had been curious about this thing before, saying that Ducati might have been in a hurry and only brought one set. This statement was actually a bit untenable, but the focus was not on this topic at the time and they didn't pay much attention to it.

Now they know that what is truly vulnerable is not the device itself, but the thing inside it that is used to collect data.

Once this thing is damaged, there is no condition to replace it in the P room, so the whole kit can only be replaced together. This makes the data inside easy to be lost. The probability is not 100%, but the team will try its best to avoid this. As the saying goes, if you can avoid it, don't drop it.

If this thing breaks, even if the entire set can be replaced, data loss is unavoidable.

Qin Chuan was riding so fast, how could they not be worried?

"Chuan is a really honest guy. He said running faster can get better test data, and he actually did it for real."

Stoner's eyes twitched at this moment, and he couldn't help but give a thumbs up. He admired it!

If it were him, he wouldn't dare to do that because he doesn't have the courage.

Or maybe he just couldn't believe that he really didn't make any mistakes.

This time, the KTM engineer also came to the scene, the same one who came back last time. At this moment, he couldn't help but frowning, his heart was in turmoil, but out of trust in his own driver, he forced himself to suppress the nervousness in his heart.

When someone is sad, someone else will be happy.

At this moment in the Ducati P room next door, everyone's mood improved a lot in an instant.

I feel happy and all the gloom is gone.

As the developer of this black technology, Ducati naturally knows this equipment best and naturally knows the key to it. Since Qin Chuan ran so fiercely, it proves that their upgrade this time has not been exposed and has not been replicated by KTM yet.
