Sitting in the cockpit of the F1 car, Lin Yan stared intently at the track ahead. His position was to the left of the start, and the first corner was a left-hand turn, giving him a natural advantage.
As the car entered the violent acceleration zone, Lin Yan's right hand suddenly pressed a button on the steering wheel, and the adjustable rear wing instantly deployed.
With the rear wing deployed, the resistance on the car in the straight was reduced to its limit, and the straight-line speed increased by a few points.
Almost at the same time, Luo Xi made the same move.
"Both of them activated DRS at almost the same time. It looks like both have intentions for the first corner. Oh wow, Luo Xi's car is very close, seemingly preparing to take the inside line from Lin Yan into the first corner. He's making a move."
Seeing the rear wings of their cars rotate almost simultaneously, Hao Dong said quickly into the microphone.
For this race, he had spent a long time studying F1 and had some knowledge of it.
"Good heavens, what is this DRS that Brother Dong is talking about? I'm a newbie and don't understand. Can any experts explain it?"
As soon as Hao Dong finished speaking, someone in the comments immediately asked. After all, they were all people who often watched motorcycle racing, and some were not very familiar with F1 car functions.
As soon as the question was asked, someone below immediately answered him.
"DRS, simply put, is the adjustable rear wing on an F1 car. It can change the angle of the wing according to the track conditions. It's also colloquially known as the one-button overtaking system. However, DRS has many usage restrictions. Why is it being used on the first lap?"
"Buddy, haven't you seen the race rules? There are a total of seven laps, and it's an unrestricted race. Let alone using DRS on the first lap, as long as you're brave enough, you can use it throughout."
Of course, using it throughout was impossible. At least, it absolutely couldn't be used in corners. The adjustable rear wing only had an effect on straights; in corners, it would interfere with the airflow around the car.
As the car was about to enter the corner, both cars simultaneously closed their DRS.
The moment the car's rear wing rotated, Luo Xi's car moved towards Lin Yan's. The two F1 cars were side-by-side.
At such a close distance, the front wheels of their cars were almost touching. Both of them wanted to take this first corner.
A sharp braking sound echoed, and both cars braked simultaneously.
Lin Yan turned the steering wheel, and his car entered the first corner first, with Luo Xi closely following.
Seeing Lin Yan's maneuver, Luo Xi under his helmet exclaimed, "This kid is also so good at driving four wheels."
The maneuver was fluid and natural. Considering Lin Yan was only twenty years old, he didn't have time to think further and refocused.
Exiting the first corner, both cars rapidly shifted up gears, accelerated, and DRS was activated again. Such frequent use of DRS was probably only seen here.
Because Luo Xi failed to take the first corner, he was left behind.
However, he wasn't too far behind and kept close to Lin Yan, continuing to look for an opportunity.
Overtaking in corners in F1 is still difficult, as the cars are very wide. Except for a few corners that are easy to overtake, it's not easy to squeeze into the inside line in other corners.
"This kid's four-wheel driving is also this strong."
Off the track, seeing Lin Yan leading, not only the bearded foreigner was surprised, but even Veneres was surprised.
Everyone knew Luo Xi's four-wheel driving skills were excellent, and so did people within the industry.
After all, F1 legend Hamilton was a close friend of Boss Luo, so it was normal for him to have good skills. But what was going on with Lin Yan, to be ahead of Luo Xi?
Yesterday, Lin Yan's individual lap times weren't significantly different. Today, comparing them side-by-side, Lin Yan was surprisingly powerful, not losing to Luo Xi at all.
At twenty years old, could he be a master of both two-wheel and four-wheel racing?
Lin Yan's fans on the field were also shocked by Lin Yan's skills and were shouting encouragement frantically.
"Wow, master of both four and two wheels? Is this the all-around racing god? Haha."
"Ahem, I think at Brother Lin's age, it wouldn't be bad to train him for F1."
"Brother Lin is awesome, Brother Lin is the GOAT!!!"
"Go, Brother Lin, if you win, I'll have a baby for you."
......
Although Lin Yan's four-wheel driving skills were very strong, they were, after all, taught by his master.
"Oh wow, Boss Luo overtook Brother Lin with a late brake. As expected, the older the ginger, the spicier it is."
At turn eight, Luo Xi overtook Lin Yan again with a late brake, reclaiming his position. Turn eight was an easy overtaking corner. Seeing Luo Xi overtake him, the foreign audience breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, if this twenty-year-old was already this formidable, what would the next few years be like?
After Luo Xi passed, the distance between them didn't widen much.
The two cars swiftly navigated through the nine corners ahead and entered the remaining nine corners.
As the cars entered the subsequent nine corners, Lin Yan launched another attack. There were too many suitable places for an attack in these high-difficulty corners.
They engaged in a fierce battle here.
The cars went back and forth, constantly changing positions, fighting intensely.
The cheers of the fans from both sides also rose and fell.
Several times, the cars almost collided, making the audience's hearts pound.
"Damn, I'm really afraid they'll kick open the car door and give me a Luo Xi kick when they corner."
"Stupid bird, F1 cars don't have doors."
"Stop talking and look, another overtake!"
......
Although Luo Xi's skills were not as good as current F1 drivers, he was still at the top level. After several position changes in the nine high-difficulty corners, he ultimately managed to defend against Lin Yan.
After multiple unsuccessful overtaking attempts, Lin Yan's pressure increased.
"Rumor has it that Boss Luo started playing four-wheel racing after retiring. Judging by this performance, the rumor is probably true."
"Look quickly, Brother Lin's heart rate is jumping so high."
In the upper right corner of the screen, there was a real-time display of their heart rates. Lin Yan's heart rate had jumped to 160, which was indeed very high. In contrast, Luo Xi's heart rate was only around 110. wΑp.kanshu伍.net
"Good heavens, I rarely see Brother Lin's heart rate jump so fast. He truly is a nine-time champion."
"Wow, Boss Luo's heart rate is only 115. That's too low."
"Upstairs, Boss Luo's heart rate was always stable and elegant in his GP days, unmatched by anyone. This is very normal, isn't it?"
Lin Yan's hands gripped the steering wheel tightly. On the main straight before the finish line, he activated DRS again, drafting behind Luo Xi's car, preparing to make a move at the first corner.
After exiting the continuous corners and returning to the straight, Lin Yan's heart rate quickly dropped.
After this lap of probing, Lin Yan knew that it would be very difficult to make a move on his master in the remaining corners. His master's defensive skills were very strong, and he had no opportunity.
His only chance was in the first nine corners.
And among the first few corners, the most suitable ones for overtaking were the first corner, the fifth corner, and the eighth corner where Luo Xi had just made his move.
In fact, Lin Yan still had a question: why did Luo Xi make a move at the eighth corner? The fifth corner offered a much better overtaking opportunity.
He didn't have time to think further. Lin Yan focused his attention, wanting to see what his master was doing at the fifth corner this time.
On the main straight at the finish line, drafting behind his master's car, Lin Yan's car accelerated wildly. kanδん
Under his helmet, Lin Yan's gaze was extremely focused.
His master's skills were superior to his, but even more terrifying was his master's extremely low heart rate.
This was why Lin Yan wasn't planning to make a move on Luo Xi in the remaining nine corners. If their skills were similar, he could take a gamble, but with superior skills and the advantage of a low heart rate, his chances were very slim.
It was better to focus on the first nine corners.
