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

"It will take at least three laps? Doesn't Qin Shen plan to overtake the beast? There are only sixteen laps left in the race. How can we make up for this gap?"

In the audience stands, as the race went on longer and longer, Chinese fans fell into a long state of tension.

The Beast was indeed consuming tires, but the gap between him and Luca, who was in seventh place, was gradually widening as they took the defensive route.

The following situation is not favorable for Qin Chuan.

"Wait a little longer. I think Qin Shen will make a move in these two rounds!"

An old car fan said as calmly as possible.

In the KTMp room, the atmosphere gradually became depressing. Jiang Yue, Jiang Liuzi, Pedrosa, Stoner, and John all looked at the track with nervous expressions.

The Beast's tire consumption is huge, even surpassing Qin Chuan's current tire consumption. Among the three, Pentax has the most remaining tires, followed by Qin Chuan, and the Beast has the least.

Qin Chuan had just been secretly protecting the tire for the past two laps. Due to the early fight with the beast and the huge damage to the defensive line, the tire was left with less than half of its original size.

"Ogawa must overtake the beast in one lap at most, otherwise the situation will be hard to control. It's up to Pentax next!"

After a long silence, Pedrosa was the first to speak.

Fifteen laps is the bottom line in his mind. If Qin Chuan still doesn't take action, he will have to ask the team to remind Qin Chuan.

Now the cars in the front are not too scattered. Except for Martin who is in the first place, the rest are far away from Luca. Fifteen laps are already very tight, and Qin Chuan must move!

Hearing this, Stoner and John nodded, agreeing with this statement. Stoner sighed and said slowly, "I hope Pentax can stop the beast in the tenth place!"

Tenth place. In the next race, if Pentax can use the advantage of its tires to block the Beast and keep him behind, the Beast will finish in tenth place, and Qin Chuan only needs to catch up to second place.

It can help Qin Chuan share some of the pressure.

Is it just KTM that blocks Ducati?

It’s very difficult! Even if the tires have an advantage, it’s not easy.

Jiang Liuzi and Jiang Yue had sad and worried expressions on their faces. Jiang Yue clasped her hands together in front of her chest and prayed silently for Qin Chuan in her heart.

She couldn't help Qin Chuan in any substantial way, and this was the only thing she could do at the moment.

Inside the huge Valencia Circuit, hundreds of thousands of spectators were watching the four-kilometer-long track. Dozens of racing cars were speeding on the track, and shouts could be heard everywhere they passed.

At Turn 5 of the track, Qin Chuan lay down behind the windshield, controlling the car to exit the turn at a high angle without pushing the car to the maximum speed.

The car did not shake, and drove out of the center of the corner in a very stable posture, then rushed to the outer shoulder and gradually accelerated.

After exiting the turn, Qin Chuan quickly shrank back into the seat, clamped his legs around the car body, and after upshifting and downshifting, stretched his legs to enter the next turn.

The car was still very stable and followed steadily behind the red Ducati car.

Qin Chuan has been following the car in this way for the past two laps, trying to minimize the wear and tear of his tires, so as to ensure his combat effectiveness in the later stages.

Right in front of Qin Chuan, the beast entering Turn 6 still took the center line approach, not giving Qin Chuan any chance to overtake.

The Beast's car was shaking slightly, and it was obvious that its tires were badly worn.

The two cars passed the center of the curve. Qin Chuan hung his body sideways outside and took the opportunity to observe the beast's rear tire up close.

The wear on the Beast's rear wheels was not serious, but according to Qin Chuan's observation, the degree of wear should be higher than his own.

This is also normal. The wear of the rear wheels is different from that of the front wheels. The front wheels rely on heavy brakes and tracking brakes, but anything involving late braking is related to the front wheels.

The rear wheel is used for acceleration out of corners, in a straight line, and because of the use of the rear brake, Ducati's straight line speed will result in more severe wear on its rear wheel.

In response to this, Ducati has previously developed a black technology, which is to install a small wind deflector behind the rider's right footrest, where the rider's right foot steps, to reduce excessive wear on the rear wheel.

Although this wind deflector is also an aerodynamic kit, the principle is very simple.

Under normal circumstances, when the car body accelerates, the air will be smoothly diverted by the guide grooves on the front of the car and then dispersed on both sides of the car body. This small wind deflector guides a small section of air from the air on both sides, so that it does not flow from both sides, but blows towards the tires.

Used to cool the rear tires.

After testing, it can reduce tire temperature by at least five degrees.

In the first half of the MotoGP race, the tire temperature rises very slowly, which results in poor grip in the first few laps, but after the tire temperature rises, the tire temperature will reach over 100 degrees.

It can rise but cannot fall, so if the temperature rises for a long time and does not drop, it will aggravate the wear of the tires. Don't underestimate the huge effect of just five degrees in the GP arena.

However, as soon as Ducati installed this thing, it was reported by several other manufacturers, saying that it generated downforce. Regardless of whether it was true or not, or whether it violated the rules, Ducati was forced to disclose this technology. Now all car manufacturers' racing cars are equipped with this small guide vane on the rear wheels.
