The speed in sixth gear instantly exceeded 300.

A deafening roar came from Qin Chuan's crotch. At the same time, Qin Chuan's car hit the inside of the horse king directly.

"Qin Chuan came to the inner lane of the horse king, and Martin also came up, but his distance was not enough. The three cars were lined up side by side in a ladder shape."

With a scream from Wei Ran in the commentary booth, the three cars were lined up before Turn 12.

This time the line-up was similar to the scene at the start of a race, with Qin Chuan in the middle, the eight-time champion in front of him on the right, and Martin behind him on the left.

He is somewhere in the middle.

Ma Wang and Qin Chuan were the closest, with his car almost reaching half the distance of the other car. On the contrary, Martin was a little further back, with the front of his car just side by side with the rear of Qin Chuan's car.

It is easy for Qinchuan to draw the line in this straight line, but it is more difficult for Martin.

At a speed of 350 kilometers per hour, the three cars came to the braking point in this posture, and all the fans held their breath.

This overtaking is not just a simple change of position. If one of these three people makes a mistake, all three will be in great danger.

Almost instantly, a harsh brake sound came from Turn 12. The three cars braked collectively. Qin Chuan's shock absorber bottomed out, his left leg stretched out, and the rear wheel instantly left the ground.

The rc16 decelerated on the spot with an almost terrifying force.

On his right, the eight-time champion also stretched out his left leg, and the car braked hard to prepare for the turn. Martin braked the hardest, with the rear wheels highest off the ground. His position was the most difficult to overtake, and the braking distance was the shortest.

"Martin braked hard on the inside line. He wanted to do a one-two, but the distance is obviously not enough! He can't stop here! Ma Wang and Qin Chuan both took a late turn!"

Wei Ran had just time to finish a sentence when the outcome was decided.

As the only driver among the three whose front shock absorber bottomed out under heavy braking, Qin Chuan unsurprisingly had an absolute advantage in this three-way contest.

Martin turned the ball inside and threw it outside. Qin Chuan and Ma Wang both chose to go outside, and the three of them crossed the line.

Martin threw the ball out, Qin Chuan was the first to recover it, followed by Ma Wang.

Qin Chuan used heavy braking to perfectly defeat the horse king who was also turning from the outside and waiting for Martin to throw him out.

“Exiting Turn 12, Qin Chuan is in first place, Ma Wang is in second place, and Martin is still in third place! Peko is already catching up! The first group in front is very tight.”

Seeing that there was no collision during the overtaking, Xiao Zhang and the car fans were equally relieved.

Exiting Turn 12, Qin Chuan steadily controlled the car and led the entire group of cars. Behind him was Ma Wang, then Martin, and finally Peko Niu.

This starting lineup is very different from yesterday. Qin Chuan made an effort in the first lap and came to the first position.

"God Qin exerted his strength today and actually came in first in the first lap."

"Dude, isn't it normal to be first? After all, it's pole position. I can only say that yesterday was a tactical arrangement and today was a normal performance. Both are hard tires. Our Qin Shen is definitely the best."

"Brother, keep a low profile and don't bring bad things to Qin Shen. Is it true that the lack of a little tail wing really has no impact?"

"I don't know either, but judging from the look on Qin Shen's face, it shouldn't be a big problem."

In the stands at Turn 12, the emotions of Chinese fans were ignited to the extreme. They came in first place at the start, which was what Chinese fans most wanted to see in the US station.

Exiting the turn and turning over, Qin Chuan moved quickly. After completing the move, he instantly squeezed the brake lever with his right hand, and the car braked hard to the extreme and turned into Turn 13.

The group of cars officially entered the continuous U-turn corners.

Under the helmet, Qin Chuan looked towards the first center of Turns 13 and 14. When the car stuck to the center of the turn and started to turn, his right hand had already left the brake lever and placed it on the accelerator, pressing down lightly.

Feedback came from the rear wheel and the car came out of the corner quickly.

After exiting the turn, he did not choose to turn over in the middle of the track, but rather near the other side of the track, but the distance was not as great as in yesterday's sprint race.

It is exactly in the middle between defense and normal cornering.

Entering a turn at this position can take two aspects into consideration at the same time, without wasting too many tires, while also providing a certain degree of defensive action.

After heavy braking, the car turned into Turn 15, and Qin Chuan's car occupied an extremely tricky position.

"At Turn 15, the horse king wanted to pull away, but Qin Chuan's inward line was very detailed. Xiao Zhang, I wonder if you feel that today's race was less entangled than in previous races."

In the commentary booth, Wei Ran said to Xiao Zhang standing beside him as he watched the cars turning into turns 16, 17 and 18.

"Yes, that's right. The pace of the race slowed down a lot today. The reason is probably due to the choice of tires and the weather today."

Xiao Zhang immediately answered the question raised by Wei Ran.

There were more fights in the first lap of the sprint race in the US station than today. In today's race, not only were there few fights at the head of the group, but there were fewer fights in the entire group.

In Xiao Zhang's opinion, the main reason for this is the hard tires. The hard tires have no advantage in terms of tire selection, and the weakness of the hard tires in the early stages led to the situation at the beginning of today's race.

Another reason is because of today's weather. The high temperature in the United States makes it particularly difficult to complete the 30-lap race even with hard tires.

After the two finished talking, the race had already reached Turn 19.

At this high-speed corner, Qin Chuan was far ahead of the others, and the gap between him and the eight-time champion behind him was close to 0.1, which was almost the size of a car body.

"Oh my god, Qin Shen is so strong today."

"Of course you are. You don't know that Qin Shen is a data maniac. He was responsible for collecting data during the sprint race yesterday, and the real game started today."

"Yes, you are right. Only a fool would really think that the Qin Shen yesterday is in the same state as the Qin Shen today. Losing a Dingfeng Wing seems to have no effect on Qin Shen at all."

"..."

Amid the discussions of the fans in the finish line stands, the car group has reached the twentieth turn.

At this moment, at the finish line, KTM staff have already prepared the p-board.

In the MotoGP race, the number of P-plates in the first lap is the least. The reason is that most drivers know that there are drivers in front and behind them and they are very close to them in the first lap, so they don’t need reminders. Blindly giving P-plates in the first lap is more likely to distract drivers and even give them inexplicable pressure.

This time, KTM's P-plate is very simple. What it expresses is a signal to remind Qin Chuan that something has fallen off his car.

There was no specific reminder of where Qin Chuan had lost something, and this was difficult to express clearly through the P board.

The car came out of the last turn, Qin Chuan accelerated quickly, and the car was thrown upright to the outside line. While speeding up, he also noticed the P board next to him.

Are there parts falling off the car?

With a quick glance, Qin Chuan saw the string of numbers and English.

There was a constant sound of the engine in his ears, and when Qin Chuan saw the incomplete instructions on the P-board, he immediately thought of the car.

This instruction carries a hint of meaning, as English is often not as clear as Chinese.

Passing through the straight line quickly, Qin Chuan immediately thought of the rear of the car. The reason was simple: the front end of his car had not collided, only the rear end was hit at the beginning. Thinking of the sudden sliding of the rear wheel just now, he guessed that there must be a problem with the rear end of the car.

But Qin Chuan soon realized that this problem should not be serious. If it was a serious problem, the organizers would have flagged him off the field long ago.

On the whole, there should be something wrong with the fixed wing.

When the car came to Turn 1, Qin Chuan squeezed the brake lever, stretched out his left leg, and braked hard to turn into Turn 1.

It’s not that Qin Chuan’s thoughts changed quickly, but that there are few parts at the rear of the racing car, and the only thing that can affect the sliding of the car is the fixed wing.

It's unlikely that the exhaust has leaked, right?

There is only one rear spoiler, which is behind the seat, and nothing else that can affect the rear wheels.

Just now when the car fell over, he did feel someone hit the upper part of the rear of the car.

A sharp braking sound was heard, and the car braked hard to turn into Turn 16. The RC quickly entered the turn along the inside line.

At the same time, the car of Ma Wang behind him was getting closer and closer, and the original 0.1 second gap was also caught up at the finish line this time.

"Qin Chuan ran the fastest in the last lap. Can he still widen the gap in this lap?"

The car continued to accelerate, and in the commentary booth, Xiao Zhang announced the fastest driver on the field in the previous lap.

The fastest one was Qin Chuan, followed by the eight-time champion.

These two are still the two fastest drivers today.

Currently, the only one who can surpass the eight-time champion in the United States is Qin Chuan.

Exiting the corner, turning over, the group of cars quickly drove out of Turn 2 and approached the Turn 3 below.

The continuous bend section of the second lap officially begins.

"The second lap of continuous turns has begun. After a straight chase, the 0.1 gap that Qin Chuan had opened up was caught up by the horse king. Let's wait and see what changes will happen in this lap."

Before Turn 3, Qin Chuan braked and downshifted, and the car quickly turned into the continuous bends, followed by continuous turning and moving.

When the group of cars turned into the continuous turning bends, Ma Wang immediately stuck behind Qin Chuan, but did not overtake. Instead, he was waiting for Qin Chuan to make a mistake.

In the first few laps of today's race, leading was an absolute disadvantage and he needed to take on the task of breaking the wind, so he was not in a hurry to do it.

On the contrary, after ten laps of this race, the lead will gradually expand.

Although there is no wake, the cleaner airflow in front of the leading driver can help the driver's tires cope with the high temperature conditions on the track.

Wake flow is good for a straight line, but using too much wake flow can also cause the front wheels to heat up too quickly.
