"Ducati seems to be..."

"You are creating a god, right, Senior?"

Before Stoner could finish his words, Qin Chuan's voice rang out.

Creating a god, this was the answer Qin Chuan came up with after much thought. He originally thought that Ducati was targeting the eight-time champion.

Because this time Ducati not only made great upgrades to its factory bikes, but also made certain cuts to its satellite fleet.

In the middle of the season, the car will be upgraded, usually with a simple adjustment of the fixed wing. This year, the GP23 car that Ducati gave to the satellite team was not the one upgraded in the middle of last year, but the version at the beginning of the year.

It is equivalent to a weakened version of gp23, which is different from previous years.

At first he thought this was Ducati's strategy against the eight-time champion to prevent him from threatening the factory team.

But if you think about it carefully, it is not the case, especially what the Ducati manager said later, which further strengthened the idea of ​​creating a god.

Qin Chuan had also heard of the term "creating a god". Previous R-series car manufacturers had also used this method. Generally speaking, the gap between the satellite and factory team's racing cars would be widened, so that the strength of the factory team would be highlighted.

It can not only avoid being overshadowed by satellites, but also enhance the influence of factory team drivers.

The earliest Benta used this tactic for a long time. The current Ducati is following the old path of Benta, first using the strategy of a large number of racing cars, using more data to improve the performance of the racing cars, and then cutting satellites, improving the factory team, and maintaining its dominance.

An old trick of gp.

"Well, we can't rule out this possibility. This year's Ducati factory bike will be very strong!"

Stoner nodded.

After a rest, Qin Chuan controlled the car to go out again. This time, Qin Chuan met an acquaintance, the eight-time champion.

Gray horse!

The previous horse king rode an orange Bentayga, but now he has changed to a cement gray Ducati. To be honest, he doesn’t seem to be very adapted to it.

Qin Chuan himself wasn't used to it.

The two men bumped fists, but did not go on the track together. Qin Chuan let the other go first, and he kept some distance.

It is important to be on guard against others. Drivers on the scene will keep a certain distance from people who are not from the same team to prevent them from seeing the secrets on their cars.

Qin Chuan has seen the eight-time champion's GP23 many times, and he will definitely be at a disadvantage if the two of them go on the track together.

Qin Chuan only came on the court to brush the circle after the eight-time champion left.

The car followed steadily not far behind the eight-time champion, and was controlled to enter one corner after another.

"This morning's test session is about to end. There are currently four record-breaking riders. The first to break Qin Chuan's record in Malaysia was Peco, and the rest are Martin and Beast riding Ducati GP24s."

"The next one is Qin Chuan himself. These four people broke the record of last year's Malaysia race."

As the morning test session was coming to an end, Wei Ran talked about the ranking situation on site.

The fastest one was still Peco, who not only surpassed the lap record set by Qin Chuan in Malaysia last year, but was even nearly 0.4 seconds faster than Qin Chuan's record.

This speed at least shows that Ducati's GP24 has improved its lap time by more than seconds, or even more, than last year.

This result is very terrifying, it is indeed a major upgrade.

In addition to these, another point is that the Beast's condition has been adjusted this year. The Beast gave a very high evaluation of the gp24 upgrade parts brought by Ducati this time, saying that this kit is very suitable for him and is in line with his driving style.

Ducati currently has three riders driving the most powerful racing car, the GP24, including Peco Martin and the Beast, and the Beast is the one who adapts best to the new racing car.

According to the media's evaluation and his opening performance, his competitiveness will definitely increase significantly this year.

The speed is almost comparable to Martin's, or even faster.

That's how it is in the paddock, with a slight change, a driver may suddenly rise up like a beast.

A sudden change may make a championship contender completely lose his competitiveness. For example, Mavericks and Senior Brother, it is hard to imagine that these two were once drivers who could enter the top three of the year, but now they have fallen outside the top ten. This is the cruel paddock.

It is worth mentioning that there have been changes in the team of the senior brother this year. Just as the media in the paddock broke the news at the end of last season, the senior brother transferred from Yamaha to Ducati Satellite through his master and teamed up with Martin.

Considering Yamaha’s current form, this is a break from the misery.

The results of Yamaha's upgrade this season are still unknown. Qin Chuan did not pay attention to Yamaha Xiaokua's ranking because the opponent was not in the front row of drivers at all.

However, Qin Chuan has seen Xiao Kua’s car twice on the track. Well, he doesn’t know whether it has been upgraded or not. Anyway, there is no change in the appearance. Maybe the engine and frame have changed.

After work in the morning, Qin Chuan returned to the P room. In the morning, Qin Chuan tested two sets of aerodynamic kits and a new frame. There are pros and cons. The new frame does reduce the vibration of the rear wheel and makes the car faster in corners.

The only drawback is that it conflicts with the fixed wings that were used at the beginning, which will have an impact when turning over.

Qin Chuan is not in a hurry for this, as he still has two sets of air kits that have not been tested. He needs to choose the best one from KTM's four air kits in the coming time, and the most matching one will be used for the first race in half a month.
