Autumn famous mountain bike god is reborn

It was also a conversation before departure, and the atmosphere of the Saitama Northwest Alliance team was not at all like that of Project D.

"It's really enviable, Yanyan." Akiyama crossed his arms with unconcealed jealousy: "You can be the first person to compete with the downhiller of Project D."

The running methods that he can observe are extremely limited.

But whether it's the AE86 with a very low front, which symbolizes a lot of modifications; or the driver himself who looks gentle and taciturn, but enters the final preparation stage before the race...

It all proves that this will be a perfect opponent that all mountain riders dream of.

"Understood." Akiyama Nobuhiko stared intently at the panda TRUENO in front of him, without turning his head to look at his cousin outside the window, and said with a blank expression: "As long as it meets the winning formula, I will definitely strive for you to play against in the second round." his."

"What is fighting for?" For this ambiguous answer, Akiyama was obviously very dissatisfied: "Hey, are you kidding?"

——"The countdown is about to begin!"

Shi Hao's suddenly raised voice officially kicked off the downhill race that countless spectators were looking forward to.

"Tsk."

Although Akiyama Shepherd was very upset, he could only dodge to get out of the way.

Unlike the uninformed spectators, the members of the Saitama Northwest Alliance team are obviously not very interested in this...even the driver and captain Akiyama Nobuhiko knows that he will lose.

Although the two cars started first and then chased, the rear car usually slowed down by 0.5 seconds and stepped on the accelerator pedal for safety reasons.

But Nobuhiko Akiyama chose to eject at the same time without hesitation out of his absolute trust in the driving skills of the car in front.

Although he had carefully studied the AE24's starting movements in the past 86 hours, he was still taken aback by its sudden burst of amazing momentum.

"Oh oh."

He couldn't help but narrowed his eyes slightly, and let out two exclamations of unknown meaning.

Sure enough, compared with the picture shown in front of us now, the performance of the 86 in those test runs before the race was already amazing enough, and it was the ordinary level that the downhillers of Plan D felt comfortable and distracted from the test run.

Observing the smooth operation of the vehicle in front when accelerating at the shortest distance, it sounds much louder than the normal 4A-G, and the high-pitched sound of the naturally aspirated engine is completely different from that of the turbo. Looking at the front of the car with a very low center of gravity , and a well-reinforced body...

It's a racing engine, maybe it's been refitted to a plan D downhill bike for roads.

What interested Nobuhiko Akiyama most, of course, was not the 86, but the driver himself.

After such a large-scale modification, it is not difficult to imagine that while the 86 has achieved a limit improvement, the fault-tolerant error area in the limit area must become smaller.

It is necessary to use the whole brain to conduct precise analysis, and then use hands and feet to make correct judgments in time...

Not only does it require extremely high technology and concentration, but it is simply impossible to do it based on the limit that the human body can bear.

In the top rally events, more than anything else, it relies on the driver's instant emergency judgment, and then relies on the muscle memory accumulated in countless fierce battles to carry out specific strategies.

"The first corner is coming soon."

Akiyama Nobuhiko muttered to himself.

As the captain and data analyst, the price for others to plan ahead is that the spirit has been tense since last night.

Looking at the smooth and smooth control route of the car in front of him, and thinking that he was facing off against such an opponent whose level was beyond ordinary people's imagination, he felt a shudder that he had never felt before.

It was like reliving the emotion he felt when he bought a car for the first time and drove it up the mountain road.

The first AE86, of course, cannot empathize with Nobuhiko Akiyama.

The expression on Fujiwara Takumi's face at this moment was really calm to the point of indifference.

He performs dizzyingly fine maneuvers with the ease of breathing, as if he's completely in his own right, not at all like he's in the midst of a serious game.

After getting Mr. Ryosuke's permission to 'do it freely', he has no intention of concealing his strength.

When he went to England ten years ago, he didn't have a brain as good as Mr. Ryosuke's. He didn't even know much about machinery, let alone win by resourcefulness.

The reason why he mastered so much theoretical knowledge later was only to convert them into assistance to make him run faster.

——As long as he runs the fastest and the distance between the two workshops is far enough, then with the speed advantage caused by the absolute technical gap, the opponent will not be able to catch up to him no matter how many tricks they use.

Nobuhiko Akiyama could clearly see that the accelerator pedal of the car in front had been stepped on decisively all the way to the end. Amidst the huge roar, the high-speed unit that was squeezed violently released the hidden horsepower suddenly.

In what seems like a blink of an eye, the first corner is here.

"Okay," Akiyama Nobuhiko, who had to brake in advance in order to control the speed of cornering, held his breath subconsciously, staring at the rear of the AE86, waiting for the taillights that symbolize braking to light up: " Let me see the strength of the No.1 Super Ace of Gunma Downhill - oh!"

Nobuhiko Akiyama's pupils suddenly constricted.

Obviously already at that position, why doesn't 86 stop braking? !

Although he knew nothing about Nobuhiko Akiyama's heartbeat that was almost stopped by shock, Takumi Fujiwara fully satisfied the wish of the car behind.

On the Dingfeng Mountain Road, where he has only run for two nights, although he has not found the theoretically best braking point, no matter the braking force, location, or time, he is definitely not the one who has run thousands of times here. Nobuhiko Akiyama can imagine the extent.

At the moment when the speed of 100+km/h cuts into the curve lightly, the brake light of AE86 turns on belatedly.

In order to enter the four-wheel drift state called absolute balance, the braking accuracy when entering the corner is undoubtedly the most important.

Under the fascinated gaze of Nobuhiko Akiyama and the spectators waiting at the first corner, the driver stepped on his keen right foot, which was exactly the critical value to prevent the wheels from entering the locked state.

Fast and decisive deceleration not only ensures the most effective use of wheel grip in deceleration, but also reduces the braking distance and time loss to the extreme.

The body suddenly turned horizontally, and Takumi Fujiwara's feet delicately controlled the opening of the accelerator to guide the direction of the front of the car while maintaining a very high speed during the drift.

The action of heeling and shifting gears was completed almost at the same time, and the right hand, which had been resting on the steering wheel all the time, made subtle corrections to the left.

It seemed that the black and white rear of the car with the braking force just reached the corner at the last moment, and in the sharp and harsh tire noise of "squeaking-" it slid sideways and suddenly flung towards the outer guardrail, splashing a lot of water. The gravel and leaves of the earth!

"Uhhhhh-!"

"It's about to hit you!!! Hurry up and dodge!!!"

"My God!"

Even though I trusted Akina 86's technology, when I saw the super-high-speed iron rushing towards me mercilessly, the audience who had just held their breath and watched instinctively screamed and moved back. !

Whether it is gravel or thin dust covering the road surface, drivers have always regarded it as an obstacle that makes grip unpredictable and dangerous.

Of course, Fujiwara Takumi could not ignore this.

Instead of decelerating and passing with trepidation, or risking acceleration, and then possibly falling into the frustrating situation of skidding or understeer at any time... it is better to actively float up from the beginning, sacrifice a small amount of speed, and turn it into an oversteer that can be precisely controlled by him.

In the eyes of the audience who got away in embarrassment and finally found out that it was just a false alarm, the four-wheel drifting movement of Akina 86 was so perfect that it was like a work of art. completed.

After passing the curve like a gust of wind, the seemingly violent rear of the car did not continue to shake exaggeratedly, and the front of the car even completed re-acceleration under smooth throttle control.

The black and white silhouette of the car regained its stability, passing indifferently with a mocking expression.

Only the road dust and gravel blown up by the rear of the car and the tires were left, mixed into the smoke and dust, and the people who rushed to the outside of the guardrail to look stupid... and Nobuhiko Akiyama, who was also dumbfounded, just entered the curve at this time.

"incredible."

The audience was dumbfounded, and they didn't even realize the fact that they accidentally ate a lot of dust: "Akina 86's strength... Has it reached this point?!"

"I don't know if it's my illusion, but I always feel that it is even more powerful than the match between Akina and Takahashi Ryosuke!"

"Horsepower, it's horsepower! The horsepower has definitely increased?! Did you change the engine?!"

"Watching that kind of bold and terrifying drift up close makes me shudder... Is that really something that humans can do?"

"Sprinting like this at full speed on the mountain road that he ran for only one night, he is not only a genius, but also an out-and-out lunatic!"

"Wow, I'm really touched. You deserve to be the No. 1 in our group of horses going downhill."

"In our eyes, it's a performance that goes beyond the limit. Maybe 86 still has more energy..."

"It's really worth it to come so far just to watch his four-wheel drift."

"Me too, but even if my wish is fulfilled, I won't be able to sleep tonight, and my mind will definitely be playing it non-stop."

"Akina 86 is really unique for the picture taken by the camera and the charismatic running style."

"The skills of Qitama's drivers are indeed not on the same level as those of 86. It's only the first corner, and the race is over."

Although Nobuhiko Akiyama tried his best to catch up, the huge gap in skills between the two was fully reflected in C1.

When he waited until the second corner, he just caught the moment when the taillights disappeared after the 86 left the corner.

"Ugh."

Even though he had expected such a situation, Akiyama Nobuhiko still showed a depressing, but clearly depressed expression.

——"The game may end in an unimaginable speed, right?"

In the Plan D convoy waiting at the top of the mountain, Matsumoto directly made a judgment.

Every week on the Dingfeng Mountain Road, the time spent by Fujiwara Takumi gradually shortened due to the increasing familiarity with the track.

This is undoubtedly most obvious during the first night of practice.

In the daytime of the next day, due to the increase of passing vehicles, he had to leave more safety margins when practicing the car, and the range was reduced.

In addition, the further to the later stage, the smaller the room for improvement, from the initial 1-2 second lap speed increase, to the difference between 0.2-0.8 seconds.

But his average speed is indeed constantly improving-such a high efficiency is really terrifying.

In the first night's test run alone, Matsumoto Shuichi, who had already been vomited by Fujiwara Takumi, regained his spirit and sat on the 86 again.

He is undoubtedly the person who has the most obvious sense of the improvement of the lap time-except for the necessary one or two times, after getting enough data to correct the settings, he almost left the driver's seat of the 86 at an escape speed .

"I have never felt that mountain road racing is such a dangerous and terrifying activity." In private, he said to Yoshino with a wry smile: "I really underestimate this sport."

"Is it so exaggerated?" Yoshino obviously couldn't understand: "Cheer up, you haven't even been in the co-pilot of a professional racing driver, and your qualifications have accumulated to our level. You have never seen a world-class scene, but No matter how you look at it, mountain road riders can only be said to be the pinnacle of amateurs."

"You really should take Takumi's co-pilot once." Matsumoto just recalled the violent G force that kept pushing him, and the contrasting expression of the pilot who was as calm as a sculpture of ice and snow. I felt a surge in my stomach: "It's all said so far, and I'm not afraid of being laughed at by you."

Under Yoshino's curious and incomprehensible eyes, he continued to speak with difficulty: "Whether it is the first time without any mental preparation, or the second or third time after having done psychological construction... I admit that sitting here When I got into his co-pilot, what I thought the most was whether it is God or Buddha, please bless me to get out of this car that is rushing like a madman alive."

The mountain road is narrow and rugged, and in the dark night, it is impossible to see the true face of the curve with only the light of the headlights.

Speeding past the scene in front of him at a speed of more than 130, suddenly jumping into the corner in front of him like in a prank game, when the car body drifted sideways with the four-wheel drift, it was like flying past the outer guardrail against his chest...

Not only Fujiwara Takumi who can use that kind of expression that is so indifferent that it is not an exaggeration to say that nothing happened, and do the kind of extremely difficult manipulation that makes people shudder.

Even being able to happily sit in the 86 co-pilot and get down safely, and sincerely looking forward to the next Ryosuke Takahashi, Matsumoto felt that "this is definitely the brain difference between a genius and a mortal."

"I'm sorry for Takumi, but when I think that Project D has just started, I will have to adapt to the experience of sitting in his co-pilot sooner or later," Matsumoto said helplessly, "I started to have a headache again."

After all, feeling fear when life and death hang on the line is an instinct that cannot be restrained.

It can only be said that Fujiwara Takumi not only possesses superb driving skills, but also trusts himself to the extreme.

Only drivers who are sure to control every subtle movement of the car will be as calm as if they have lost their fear.

——After 6 minutes and 32 seconds, the news of the second game of Plan D came from the foot of the mountain.

Fujiwara Takumi not only ruthlessly lost his opponent at the first corner, but also completely smashed the best record of 7 minutes and 15 seconds set by Nobuhiko Akiyama on the Dingfeng Mountain Road with a speechless gap.
