"Come on Qin Chuan!"

"Come on, Qin Shen!"

The sound was the loudest in the stands opposite the auditorium because it was facing the P-room. Qin Chu heard it almost clearly and had to wave his hand at the camera again.

The excitement lasted for half an hour. At eight o'clock in the morning, the number of fans reached its peak. Nearly 180,000 fans poured into the entire Kata circuit, which was almost comparable to the attendance of the main race.

The stands closest to the track were almost completely packed, with almost no empty seats in the stands.

At exactly eight o'clock, the test race officially began. Qin Chuan changed into a leather jacket, pulled down the lens of his helmet, turned over and stepped onto the racing car.

As the staff started the car, Qin Chuan gripped the accelerator with his right hand and twisted it slightly. The car roared and slowly drove out of the P room.

"Qin Chuan is coming out, look, God Qin is coming out!"

"Ahhh! Hubby! I love you hubby!"

"Husband, look at me!"

When Qin Chuan came out, the stands went completely crazy. Qin Chuan had no choice but to greet the fans again. He let go of the handlebars with both hands and clamped the car body with his legs. Qin Chuan waved to the stands in front of the P room as a greeting. The stands were already full of people at this moment, and there were noisy heads everywhere.

After saying hello, Qin Chuan put his hands back on the handlebars, then began to squeeze the brake with his right hand, and the car moved along the exit channel with a jittery movement.

Apply the brakes to increase the temperature of the brake disc and the tire at the same time.

When the car passed the Ducati P room, Peco also came out and came in front of Qin Chuan. The two cars were moving forward slowly. Taking this opportunity, Qin Chuan roughly observed the changes of the Ducati car.

Unfortunately, no changes can be seen from the back. The exhaust and even the rear wing have not changed. The engine must have changed, but it cannot be seen.

Apart from that, most of the changes to the car should be in the front part, that is, the aerodynamic part.

Qin Chuan even estimated that Ducati would not make any changes this time because the last upgrade was already big enough.

In the blink of an eye, the car rushed onto the track. After driving out of the channel, Qin Chuan gripped the accelerator with his right hand and began to accelerate. While accelerating, he lifted the speed limit of the P channel, and the speed of the car soared rapidly.

The rc16 roared and the gears increased layer by layer.

At the finish line, Qin Chuan leaned his upper body tightly behind the windshield, and the car accelerated from first gear to second gear, third gear to fourth gear, and then quickly shifted to sixth gear. While shifting gears, Qin Chuan quickly felt the changes in the car body.

This time his perception was fully open, not intending to miss any details, and the first thing he observed was the feeling in the straight line.

Compared with the last car, this car has more stable straight-line acceleration, and Qin Chuan was the first to notice this stability.

This is definitely due to the improvement of the air kit.

The straight-line aerodynamics of F1 is the most perfect, and I believe there will be surprises in the straight-line final speed as well.

Qin Chuan didn't feel much speed increase on the straight line, but this was just a perception. If the tail speed difference was 1-2, it would not be something a human could feel.

This stability made Qin Chuan firmly believe that the straight-line speed was definitely improved. When the car passed the finish line, although Qin Chuan had already lay low enough, when the speed exceeded 300, Qin Chuan's back and the leather jacket on his shoulders were blown up and down.

At extreme speeds, the air resistance is very large.

Before Turn 1, Qin Chuan straightened his upper body, downshifted with his left foot, and held the front brake with his right hand. After a few buzzing sounds, the car began to brake hard into the turn.

The rear wheel shook and Qin Chuan's RC16's speed dropped sharply.

It must be said that the car has been greatly improved this time. The top speed is 2km/h higher than last time, and the brakes are not too shaky.

This time Qin Chuan braked hard and the car only shook slightly, and then it stabilized. This shaking was completely within the acceptable range.

Qin Chuan stretched his legs to brake and entered Turn 1. Turn 1 of Kata is a right turn, followed by a left turn.

Qin Chuan stepped on the throttle close to the center of Turn 1, and while stepping on the throttle, he threw the car to the outside line and accelerated along the outside line. The shaking when exiting the turn was also effectively suppressed.

The overall driving experience was very good. When the car accelerated out of the corner and reached the middle, Qin Chuan turned over and entered Turn 2 at an incredibly fast speed.

In the blink of an eye, we entered Turn 16 again. The RC entered the turn with a lean angle again. This time the brakes did not shake and were very smooth.

The car entered the corner steadily, and Qin Chuan made a standard cornering posture with his upper body straight and leaning outward.

This time, even Xiao Zhang and Wei Ran in the commentary booth noticed the stability of Qin Chuan's car.

"Qin Chuan's car seems to be more stable than the previous two tests. Could it be that KTM has made some substantial progress this time?"

“It should be. If Qin Chuan’s lap time improves, KTM will most likely be able to compete with Ducati next year.”

In the Ducati P room, after seeing Qin Chuan's car was stable, the person in charge of Ducati frowned. Qin Chuan's car had improved, which was not a good thing for them.

The addition of the sprint race this year is good for Martin, but in fact he is not worried about Martin. On the contrary, he is very worried about Qin Chuan.

Qin Chuan's performance last season could almost be said to be so good that if it weren't for his good luck, he would have only run for half a year and the final championship would definitely have changed hands.

As the biggest dark horse to win the championship this year, he has to worry.

This guy has to run for a whole year this year. Compared with Martin and Qin Chuan, he is still too young.

As his thoughts turned, his eyes were already on a corner of the big screen, ready to see what Qin Chuan's lap time would be.

On the field, after turning several corners, Qin Chuan has completely adapted to this racing car, and the overall experience is very good.

The stability in both corners and straight lines is very good, almost exactly the same as last season's car in terms of stability, but the speed has been improved, which is real.

Coming out of the last turn, Qin Chuan pushed the car with all his strength, the front wheel left the ground, he quickly turned and passed the finish line, setting a new lap time.

"Qin Chuan's lap was only 0.1 slower than Peco's. This is a huge improvement compared to last time. Does Qin Chuan plan to run a few more laps?"

As soon as the two people's lap times came out, Wei Ran shouted out excitedly.

0.1 second difference, this was the gap between Qin Chuan and Peco in the last test. This time, Kata's lap time was still 0.1, but the situation was completely different. Peco's car had been debugged and matured last time, and there was not much change overall this time, so there was no need to adapt.

This is Qin Chuan's first time on the court after the changes. If some simple adjustments are made in the later stage, it is very likely that he will break Peko's speed.

The probability of this is very high.

The KTMp room also erupted in cheers at this moment. It was obvious that Qin Chuan's lap time gave them great confidence.

After one lap, Qin Chuan did not return to the P room, but continued to run on the field. He needed to run a few more laps and then return to the P room for adjustments. In the next two laps, Qin Chuan's speed became faster and faster, close to surpassing Peko's speed, but always lacked that finishing touch.

After a lot of effort, he had a chance to overtake, but Peco was a little faster. After five laps, Qin Chuan returned to the P room and began to adjust the car. John collected Qin Chuan's opinions and then quickly adjusted the car.

The driver's feeling is different every time a kit is changed. For example, after changing the kit this time, Qin Chuan felt that the center of gravity was wrong when exiting the corner, so he asked John to make a simple adjustment. After various problems were adjusted and perfected, the speed is likely to be improved.

Ducati completed all of these tasks in the second test, and it seems that there will not be much change in the third test.

In fact, under normal circumstances there won’t be too many changes. Except for KTM, the racing cars of the other companies in the paddock have basically been finalized. Only KTM is still making changes and adjustments.

Ten minutes later, Qin Chuan once again controlled the car out of the P room, and the car quickly stepped onto the track.

After the good results achieved in the first race, Qin Chuan and the KTM staff were full of confidence this time. Qin Chuan started to push the speed with all his strength as soon as he got on the track.
