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

This is somewhat similar to today's F1. The aerodynamics of F1 are very exaggerated, and the exaggerated aerodynamics make the air behind the car very dirty.

Dirty airflow does not mean that the air is really dirty, but that the air flow is very chaotic.

F1 cars turn at an average speed of nearly yards per hour, and it is the aero kit, or fixed wing, that provides stability for the car in the corners.

The F1's spoiler is much more exaggerated. After all, it has four wheels, the car is big, and the tail wing is also big.

What really makes the fixed airfoil work and has a stabilizing function is the high-speed flow of air.

Now, this air is destroyed by the fixed wing of the front car, or the fixed wing of the front car diverts the airflow, so that it cannot blow all over the rear car.

This is dirty airflow.

The dirty airflow reduces the effect of the rear car's fixed wing, which is unable to provide much stability for the rear car when cornering.

This is why there is less overtaking in F1 today, because it is more difficult to follow the car in the corners and the rear car is not as stable as the front car.

GP is now facing the same situation as F1, but because it has two wheels after all, its size is small and its aerodynamics are not too exaggerated, the situation is far not as bad as F1. However, there are already signs that are exactly the same as F1.

In today's GP, if the driver follows too closely and the lines are highly overlapped, the stability will be reduced, the temperature of the front wheel will rise rapidly, the heat dissipation will be affected by the reduction of air, and the lack of air heat dissipation is obviously also a problem.

These problems are the same as those faced by F1, and the chance of engine explosion due to high car temperature is also slightly increased.

The reason for the sudden engine explosion incidents in MotoGP events now is not only that the team has not replaced the engine because it has been used for too long, but also this.

Following the car affects heat dissipation.

However, dirty airflow also has its advantages, that is, the car speed is faster in a straight line, and the reduced air flow behind the front car has a great effect on grabbing the vacuum bag in a straight line.

A straight line is inherently more stable, and less air can allow the car to go faster.

All these things made Stoner very unhappy. He felt that in today's GP, only half of it was the driver's own performance, and the other half was the technology of the car.

Pedrosa does not quite agree with this point. Instead, he thinks it is a sign of progress of the times and as long as overtaking is possible, that is enough.

The sport of MotoGP has always been responsible for the development of two-wheeled vehicles. If GP develops well, maybe one day ordinary people will be able to ride a commercially available car with fixed wings.

After all, apart from those performance features that can only be brought out at high speeds, a car with a fixed wing is definitely more handsome!

You can not use it but you can't live without it. This sentence is deeply rooted in the eyes of car fans.

On the field, after exiting Turn 2, Martin's car got closer and closer, almost to the point of being wheel-to-wheel with Qin Chuan.

This following distance means that Martin is almost certain to attack in the next few corners, most likely Turn 4.

"After the group passed Turn 3, they came to Turn 4, a steep curve. Peco seemed to start speeding up, but Qin Chuan was still able to keep up! The drivers in the first group were very close to each other, and no one could get away from him."

"Qin Chuan had two chances to take action, but he gave up both times. I don't know if this was a plan."

Xiao Zhang and Wei Ran were talking and shouting to each other. While the two were talking, the group of cars had already come out of Turn 3 and were approaching Turn 4.

The car was speeding so fast that it seemed to turn into a shadow in the night.

The red gp24 leads the way, followed by the orange KTMrc16, and then two more gp24s.

Under the night sky, the nearly 600-meter straight line between Turn 2 and Turn 4 stretched as far as the eye could see. Under the light, Blue Star's fastest two-wheeled racing car sped past along the outer shoulder of the road.

Then you can hear the harsh sound of brakes coming from the end of this straight line, and at the end of Turn 4, the cars are braking hard.

Under the night sky, a sound of Wei Ran was heard.

"At Turn 4, Qin Chuan's heavy braking is quite steady. He is still following behind Peko without attacking. Martin is coming!"

On the outside of Turn 4, Qin Chuan squeezed the brake lever and used the standard outside braking method. This method confirmed that Qin Chuan would not try to overtake at Turn 4.

This isn’t the offensive line.

Just as it was about to enter the corner, a purple-black racing car suddenly rushed in from the inside.

That’s right, it’s a purple and black racing car. Last year, the color of Martin racing car was pure purple with a little white, but this year the white turned into black.

Therefore, Martin was also teased by car fans today, especially the Chinese fans, who were having a lot of fun calling him "Little Black and Purple".

It seems as if these three words "Xiao Hei Zi" have some magical power.

The car decisively inserted into the inner line. Qin Chuan's car body straightened instantly, and his peripheral vision saw Martin's car. Martin's car came in from the inner line forcefully, then retracted and passed Turn 4 perfectly.

This time the overtaking was very successful, and even Qin Chuan couldn't get it back.

"Martin passed Turn 4, and Qin Chuan was very calm. He didn't seem to need to fight back. He braked hard at Turn 4 not too late. This was not a serious defense."

After the overtaking was over, the group of cars came out of Turn 4 and Qin Chuan fell to third place. Wei Ran expressed the doubts that had been in his mind.

Qin Chuan gave them an unusual feeling in this lap. To be precise, they started to have this feeling from the second half of the previous lap. Qin Chuan didn't seem to be in a hurry to fight back, and even felt a little... depressed?

Yes, that's what it feels like.

It was completely different from a sprint race, and the running style was very conservative, which confused them.

The fans in the audience also had this feeling. Qin Chuan didn't seem to be as strong in today's race, and it seemed that he didn't fight back much.

"What happened to Qin Shen tonight? Martin just let it go like this? Why didn't he fight back?"

"Yeah, God Qin was too gentle today. Why didn't he take action? This is not his character."

"Could it be that there is something wrong with the car, or is it just not in good condition tonight?"

"The car has a problem? Don't even think it's possible. If the car has a problem, it will be a big trouble."

"..."

In the audience, the fans' discussions became louder and louder, and some even began to suspect that there was something wrong with Qin Chuan's car.

In less than two laps, Qin Chuan dropped from first to third, losing two positions in a row, and he didn't even show any sign of wanting to get his position back, which made them feel that something seemed wrong.

car broke down?

In the KTMp room, Pedrosa and Stoner both looked calm. The KTM staff behind them didn't look too good, but they were not bad either. They were all very calm.

Judging from the team's backend data, there was nothing wrong with Qin Chuan's car. On the contrary, this lap time and running style saved a lot of tires.

Pedrosa, who has been dealing with Qin Chuan for more than half a year, has now guessed Qin Chuan's intention. As for Stoner, he obviously also knows what Qin Chuan wants to do.

Save your strength.

That's a good guess.

As for why they conserved their strength, they all agreed that it was probably related to the sprint race.

Before the test race began, KTM actually always felt that based on Qin Chuan's performance last year, he would be able to dominate the field this year and there would be no problem at all. The biggest problem was to prevent Qin Chuan from being poached.

That’s right, Pedrosa knows this and knows it best, but Stoner doesn’t know it.

During the post-season break, KTM's biggest focus was not on research and development for the new season, but on how to prevent Qin Chuan from being poached.

If they don’t poach the champion next year, that’s basically it. That’s what everyone at KTM thought at the time.

But imagination is good, but reality is very bleak.

At the beginning of today's game, it was obvious that they had received a heavy blow.

He felt that Qin Chuan had realized through the sprint race that this year would not be so easy, and that his opponents were more competitive than last year.

Qin Chuan's driving style has an absolute advantage in the sprint race, and the overall reference value is not very significant, but based on the competition in the first few laps of the sprint race, it is not difficult to see that Qin Chuan can no longer completely suppress Peco this year. On the contrary, he may have one more competitor.

A beast that has adapted to the car and adjusted to the condition this year.

That's why there's this idea of ​​preserving tires.

Ultimately, KTM's upgrade this time is not as good as Ducati's, which has been hiding its shortcomings for a long time.

This is what caused Qin Chuan's current disadvantage.

Pedrosa ignored the discussions on the field. More and more fans were asking if there was something wrong with Qinchuan's car.

This is like a leading effect. At the beginning, there were only a few people. Once these people took the lead, others would soon follow, which led to the current situation.

It’s not that they don’t want to clarify, but there is no need to do so.

Even if he wants to conserve his strength, he will definitely not fall out of the top three. Pedrosa estimates that if the beast attacks later, Qin Chuan will definitely force his position back.

If you fall out of the top three, even if you preserve the tires enough in the later stages, it will be very difficult to compete for the championship.
