[Racing] King of Speed

The scene of the race was cut into the CCC studio, the blue sky of Albert Park and stretches of woods appeared on the screen, followed by a silver-purple racing car speeding on the track Looking closer, the driver's shiny golden helmet was particularly dazzling.

"Look, everyone, this is Jinxi's Helios helmet! He is doing tire warming laps now." The host exclaimed excitedly, "It really can blind people's eyes in the sun, no wonder he said in the interview that he is not afraid of it." The sun is setting, so I prepared a belt." Jinxi's helmet is made of pearl, and there is a purple-gold sun totem in the middle, no matter how close or far away, it is indescribably domineering and coquettish.

Ross also wentssip with a serious face, "And I heard that the surface is all plated with real gold."

The two looked at each other and smiled, and then the camera turned to another driver. Unlike Quimby's publicity, that set of tender apple green was indescribably green, while the top of this driver's helmet was full of Orange dots the size of ping pong balls.

The host said again, "Is this Neil Deloza?"

"Well, it looks like the T frame is Sislera's No. There is no color during the test, and red and yellow will appear when the race is officially launched. Although each team always has to argue that there has never been a clear regulation on the number one and two drivers, it has always been fair to others, and the FIA ​​has not. Such a system, but everyone knows in their hearts that the red T is number one, and the yellow T is number two. As a newcomer, Nair naturally wears a yellow T.In addition to the T-frame, the only way to distinguish two cars on the field is the driver's helmet. The vehicle's main perspective lens mounted on the T-frame will also be very intuitive so that everyone can appreciate the driver's helmet up close.

Ross stared at the screen for a while, then suddenly said, "Delosa's helmet, it seems..."

"A mushroom." The host silently answered.

Ross coughed and didn't laugh right away, but the host obviously felt that what he said made sense, "Look," he read the message on the interactive forum, "The fans of [Helios House] agree very much. In my opinion, such a domineering name of [The House of the Sun God] must be a fan of Kinsey, right? Kinsey's fans said: Little Nair is a 'Scaredy-Shroom' (*note)!"

The host patted his thigh, "Oh, I also know about Scaredy-Shroom, the Scaredy-Shroom, the Scaredy-Shroom is very suitable for use at night, so Deloza should not be afraid of the sun going down."

Ross quietly rolled his eyes sideways at the camera and said, "I don't think Deloza is timid, and timid mushrooms are very effective as long as they eat enough sunlight." After a pause, he added, "Don't Thought I never played the game."

Another gag, the scene has officially entered the Q1 qualifying race, but there are no teams on the track to come out to make results. The car that was just on the track returned to the P room after two laps. The competition system stipulates that you As long as you set an effective lap time in the first 10 minutes, and because there are only six sets of tires to be used until tomorrow, for some relatively confident big teams, there is no need to go lap after lap. It's a waste of tires, as long as you run two laps, you can be sure that you can enter Q2. On the contrary, some small teams have to run more to strive for the opportunity to enter the back.

Sure enough, 5 minutes after the time passed, some small teams in the mid-to-late stage began to enter the track one after another, while the three major teams still stayed calmly in the P room, and Jin Xi was racing with him. The road engineer spoke, and behind him stood a pair of elegant blonde couple and an old man with all white hair. The camera fell on them for a long time, and the blonde couple waved to the audience generously, smiling very brilliant.

"Ah, this is Paimer Sodenshahn?! Sodenshahn and his wife?!" The host in the studio shouted again, "They came to watch their son's first game in Quinby in person. Ah! And the old gentleman standing beside him is the legendary Samuel Quimby!" He is also the real big boss of the Quimby Racing Team, "It seems that the Quimby Racing Team attaches great importance to this opening match." It should be said that it is very important. It's okay to pay attention to a certain driver.

This is another highlight of Formula [-]. In every race, there will be many super big names appearing here. They may be celebrities in the political and business circles, or first-line stars in Hollywood. Buy box tickets to watch, but the really awesome ones can go to the P rooms of various teams to watch the game, and there will be professional technicians explaining to you. People like the Sodenshahn family must be the guests of Quinby.

The Sodenshahns were obviously very new to this environment, pointing and asking questions from time to time, while Farier personally accompanied them, and Samuel crossed his hands and smiled calmly.

At this time, an apple-green racing car drove onto the track from the exit of the maintenance area. It was the car of Sislera's No. 2 driver Neil De Rosa. Before him, Gregory of the Xinzeman team had just Made an effective lap time and temporarily ranked first.

Ross said, "Delosa went out earlier than I thought."

Host, "Does that mean that Sislera has no idea about the car at this stop?"

Ross shook his head, "I don't think there is any team in the first race that dares to say that they are sure. Even though they have tested countless times in the winter before, Albert Park is still a brand new track for this car, but Sislera is more important. Just out of caution."

More than three minutes later, Nair also completed his first qualifying result in the first qualifying race of his life, 1:31, not very strong, but a full second faster than Gregory.

"Not bad, menacing!" said the host.

Nair didn't stop, he made two more flying laps, the pink mushroom helmet kept sticking in front of the screen, until the lap time was raised to within 1 minute and 30 seconds, the three masters slowly passed joined the battle.

In the end, the results of Q1 ended with Pirzeo of the Satika team as the first finisher, followed by Westbrook, Garnett, Nair, Kaiser... Kinsey ranked tenth, and another driver of Sislera Reading are also sixth.

"Sislera is very good, both drivers are among the best, but what's the matter with the speed of Master Sun God?" the host asked.

"It's more than 1 second behind Weiss's result." Rose also said, "But he made it to Q2 safely, probably because the tuning of Kinsey's car is not suitable for medium tires."

At the end of the first quarter, seven cars were eliminated according to the rankings, and fifteen cars were left to enter Q2. After a period of rest, when Q2 started, Quinby dared not be careless and let Jinxi go on the track first.

The results are rising alternately. After all the teams completed a round of results, some small teams switched to soft tires. This time the tire manufacturer provided two types of tires: soft tires and medium tires. The soft tires naturally have better grip than the medium tires. Good, and the so-called "grip", as the name suggests, is the strength to hold the ground, which is very important when turning, because the closer to the apex of the bend, the faster the speed, just like when running a long-distance race, always close to the inside Running is more cost-effective, the downforce of the car and the tires will affect the size of the grip, even a little is very important, so the softer tires will of course be faster.

And because some tracks in Albert Park are usually used as open roads, the road surface friction is small, and the grip is worse than that of ordinary tracks, so once the tires are changed, it will be clear whether it is better or not.Of course, smart people can't make their opponents specialize in beauty, so one family changes, everyone changes, and finally everyone uses soft tires to speed up laps.

And the result of Q2 is Westbrook, Garnett, Fren, Kaiser, Neil... Kinsey is still in tenth place, barely at the end of the crane, the three major teams add eight cars to West Slera, and two more The cars of the mid-range team entered Q3, and the remaining five cars were eliminated.

"What's wrong with Kinsey? If there is a problem with Quimby's car, but there is a big gap between him and Westbrook?" the host asked Rose.

Ross pondered, "At first I thought it was because his tuning was not suitable for medium tires, but the results still didn't come up when he switched to soft tires."

Some people on the forum have already started to complain, feeling that the newcomer is really unreliable, if he knew it earlier, he would not have pressured him to win. Fortunately, he didn't gamble too much, but the odds ratio has become significantly higher now.

The author has something to say: *Note: Scaredy-Shroom (Scaredy-Shroom), a night tool in Plants vs. Zombies, can fight after eating sunlight, but it is suitable for long-distance attacks, and it will wither when it gets close~
