Su Yang followed behind with a Edison Chen-like smile on his face. The few laps he had done yesterday were not just to familiarize himself with the track.
After running a few laps, he memorized every corner of the racetrack and knew it like the back of his hand.
The main track of the Shanghai International Circuit has a total of 16 turns, 7 left turns and 9 right turns. The turning radius of each turn is different. The entire track layout is precise and the difficulty is very high.
Immediately following the starting point are a series of right, left, and left compound turns, namely Turns 1, 2, and 3.
These three turns combine to form a spiral contracting turn, with the turning radius dropping sharply from 93.9 meters to 31.8 meters. After running a few laps yesterday, he found that the first few turns were not suitable for drifting.
To be precise, most of the corners on the entire track are not suitable for drifting, and it will be faster to enter the corner normally.
So Su Yang did not choose to drift, but directly entered the turn at high speed.
The powerful downforce provided by GT3RS presses the car body firmly on the track.
Although Su Yang entered the turn later, he quickly overtook He Peng, who was still drifting, after exiting Turn 2.
He Peng was stunned when he saw this, then he smiled contemptuously: "Oh? I have something, it doesn't matter if I let you take a few steps first."
Let the GT3rs take the lead on the track, and other cars will basically have no chance of overtaking, unless the difference in skills between the drivers is too great, or the person being overtaken is a professional formula racer and is driving an F1.
But He Peng didn't seem to realize this.
By the time he finished speaking, Su Yang had already arrived at Turn 4.
The fourth turn is not very steep and can be easily driven out. There is a straight line from the fourth turn to the fifth turn.
Su Yang quickly shifted up a gear and stepped on the accelerator, instantly increasing the speed to 200 km/h.
But He Peng is a professional after all, and he follows very closely.
The two cars drove out of Turn 5 one after the other, and then there was another straight section.
When approaching Turn 6, He Peng slowed down again in advance to prepare for drifting, because Turn 6 is very sharp, almost a U-shaped turn, and rally drivers subconsciously like to drift through this kind of turn.
He Peng subconsciously stepped on the brakes. Although he started out playing karting and Formula One, he has been participating in rally races for the past five or six years, and it has become a kind of muscle memory.
Su Yang noticed He Peng's action through the rearview mirror and smiled slightly: "Goodbye."
He still didn't drift, but just braked a little.
The GT3RS is really awesome. The car body is very stable and it can easily exit Turn 6.
As soon as he came out of the corner, he immediately accelerated and rushed towards the nearby highway turns 7 and 8.
He Peng still hasn't realized the seriousness of the problem. Every time he enters a corner, he will be left behind by Su Yang a little bit.
Although his car has two more cylinders and more horsepower.
But this is a racetrack, and the advantage of high horsepower can only be brought into play in the last long straight line between Turn 13 and Turn 14. It is difficult in other places, and the speed has to slow down again before it reaches the maximum.
So after all this back and forth, Su Yang is already ahead.
At this time, Qin Su in the stands was so excited that her face turned red and her heart was beating rapidly.
In the stands, she could watch the situation of the two cars on the big screen. Ever since Su Yang overtook her, she had been worried that He Peng would overtake her.
Buzz buzz buzz!
The GT3RS burst out of Turn 13 with an ear-piercing roar.
The section of the track from Turn 13 to Turn 14 is 1,175 meters long and is the longest straight section of the Magic City International Circuit. Su Yang quickly increased the speed to 320 yards by shifting the paddles.
The GT3RS is speeding like a beast.
He Peng behind him had already driven out of Turn 13 and started accelerating madly in an attempt to overtake Su Yang here.
But it’s not that easy to overtake. Su Yang had already opened up a considerable distance on those bends.
The 1,175-meter section of road quickly came to an end. Turn 14 is the sharpest of all the turns on the entire track.
The radius is only 10.07 meters, and the driver needs to reduce the speed of more than 300 kilometers per hour to less than 88 kilometers per hour within 129 meters to enter the corner safely. This requires extremely high braking precision for both the driver and the car.
However, Su Yang did not reduce the speed to 88km/h, because he planned to drift through this corner, and this was the only corner where he thought drifting into the corner would make him faster.
When the speed dropped to 95km/h, Su Yang turned the steering wheel to the left to swing the car body and then immediately turned the steering wheel sharply to the right to use a pendulum-like drift to enter the corner. At the moment of entering the corner, he quickly turned the steering wheel back.
The car steadily pressed the inside lane out of the corner.
All of Su Yang's actions were seen by He Peng behind him.
He unconsciously widened his eyes, his face full of disbelief.
Only then did he realize that something seemed a little wrong, and he suddenly became a little anxious.
My mentality was affected a little, and when I came to Turn 14, I was a little slow, the rhythm was a little wrong, and the turn was not smooth, so I wasted some time.
At this time, Su Yang had already reached the last turn. He passed and exited the turn normally, then accelerated and rushed towards the finish line.
Qin Su, who was in the stands, jumped up excitedly when she saw Su Yang driving out of Turn 16 first. She leaned over the guardrail and shouted at the fast-moving Su Yang, "Su Yang! Come on!!"
Buzz!
As Qin Su's voice fell, Su Yang rushed across the finish line and completed the first lap first with a lap time of 1 minute 34 seconds 566.
“What the hell!?”
When seeing this lap time, everyone was shocked. You know, on this track, the fastest lap time of an F1 driver is only 1 minute 30.849 seconds.
It is so terrifying that Su Yang can achieve such a result while driving a mass-produced sports car.
