Lu Ningjun drove the prototype car out, and he was accompanied by two racing car designers who brought testing instruments with them to measure the operating conditions of the main components of the car.
Once a problem is discovered, it will be recorded immediately.
It takes a year to test an ordinary civilian car in Nanwan. If this racing car wants to catch up with the Dakar Rally in 2004, it will have to undergo continuous testing from now until next year until it has no problems at all.
There shouldn't be any major issues with this car's components except the gearbox.
The gearbox equipped in this car is a sequential gearbox that is only used in racing cars. It is very simple to operate and the gear shifting is completed by pushing and pulling, which is similar to a manual transmission.
The simplest reason why this type of gearbox does not appear in civilian cars is that it is very expensive.
Sequential gearboxes have high requirements for component materials. Racing is a game of every second, and this sequential gearbox is designed entirely for racing, and the gear shifting must be completed within a few tenths of a second.
Therefore, this type of gearbox hardly uses the clutch when shifting gears, which will cause a large gear shift shock. Because of the strong impact caused by shifting gears, cars equipped with this type of gearbox are not comfortable at all, unless they are experienced drivers.
An ordinary sequential gearbox costs tens, hundreds, or even millions of yuan, which is more expensive than the entire car, and its wear resistance is not good.
The gearbox of a racing car is replaced after one season, but who can replace the gearbox of a civilian car once every one or two years?
For Nanwan Group, sequential transmission is a new topic. Although they have come into contact with and studied this type of transmission before, they have never actually used it because they did not install it on the car.
After the technology development was completed, it was sealed.
Now this technology has been activated when making racing cars. Although the gearbox has been made and has been tested on the test bench for more than a month, and although no problems have occurred on the test bench, people in Nanwan are still unsure.
After driving the prototype car out of Nanwan, Lu Ningjun headed straight for Heijiao. In recent times, the Nanwan team has been training at the Heijiao Nanwan heavy vehicle test track, and he wanted to drive this car to the test track for testing.
Lu Ningjun drove to the test track without stopping the car. He just drove into the test track with a "hum".
Lu Ningjun drove the racing car around the test track for more than ten laps.
The power is undoubtedly strong, and the chassis contact is very soft. His first impression is that this car is good.
Better than the Mitsubishi and Nissan racing cars he has driven.
If there is no problem with the car itself, he thinks it should be possible to drive it to the Dakar Rally and finish in the top ten as long as there are no accidents.
He felt that the car was damaged, but the technicians on board did not think so. They still found problems with the chassis and gearbox through instruments.
After returning to Nanwan, the technicians immediately dismantled the gearbox and chassis where the problems were found, and made improvements to the areas where the symptoms occurred overnight.
Ten days later, when the second prototype came out, the gearbox and chassis had been installed with improved versions.
It was under such circumstances that problems with these two racing cars were immediately solved. After more than a dozen improvements over more than two months, there were finally no more problems.
Although Lu Ningjun is obsessed with test driving every day, the training of the Nanwan team has not stopped. There are special coaches in his team to train the drivers of the Nanwan team.
After several months of training, the characteristics and shortcomings of the South Bay team's drivers have been summarized.
The strengths and weaknesses of Guan Dahai, the top driver of the Nanwan Racing Team, are very prominent.
Guan Dahai’s strengths are his boldness and drive. Once I get in the car, I just rush forward no matter what the situation.
After entering August, the South Bay team held several simulation races.
Guan Dahai, who thought he had learned something, was ready to make Hei Xia Zi stand at attention - to show off his skills.
But when the competition was over, he lived up to everyone's expectations...but he didn't even finish a single race.
The reason was simple: he was running too fast. Falling into a ditch and overturning was a small matter. The most speechless thing was that one time, when passing a steep slope, the car flew off the track and was stuck between two crooked trees more than one meter above the ground.
My goodness, the four wheels were hanging in the air and no matter how much gas I put in, it just wouldn't come down.
When Wan Feng saw this scene, he laughed so hard and was also very angry.
"Master Guan! Tell me what you think. How did you manage to fly the car up there so cleverly?"
Guan Dahai smiled bitterly.
"People say they've never seen a sheep climb a tree, but I haven't seen a sheep climb a tree either. Today, I saw a car climb a tree. This should be just as difficult as a sheep climbing a tree. I'll give you a chance to drive this car like this for me again."
Guan Dahai scratched his head for a long time: "I can't drive up!"
"You can't drive it up! If you can drive it up like this again, I'll give you a hundred thousand. If you can't drive it up, you won't be allowed to eat tonight."
Guan Dahai hesitated for a long time and didn't dare to try, because he knew it would be impossible to open it.
Wan Feng went to ask Lu Ningjun: "Captain Lu! Why does Guan Dahai always fail to finish the competition? This is not okay!"
Lu Ningjun smiled. "All drivers who have just started racing are like this. They only have one thing in mind: speed! They always think that only by going fast can they win first place. People who love this industry are not lacking in courage, and those who want to drive fast are no slouch. But why do some people achieve great results while others can't even finish the race? In fact, when a driver enters the track, he must first ensure that he completes the entire race, and then consider striving for a place."
"What should we do? This problem must be solved!"
Wan Feng understood this logic as soon as he heard it, but the key point was that he knew it was useless because he couldn't play.
You have to take care of the elm tree in the sea to understand it.
"Don't worry, he'll figure it out on his own. He might not listen to what others say. Only the experience and lessons he draws out on his own are the most useful. He's not eighteen or twenty-three anymore. I believe he'll figure it out on his own. If he can't even figure it out, then he should just stay away from this industry and continue to be a test driver."
Lu Ningjun turned his head and said, "See? He's squatting in the corner, thinking about something."
Lu Ningjun was right. This kind of failure can only be remembered deeply if you seriously reflect on it.
Guan Dahai is indeed summarizing himself.
While his teammates were training on the track, this guy hid himself under a wall, folding his arms and thinking hard like an old farmer.
There is only one thought in Guan Dahai's mind now: Why can't I finish the race?
No matter how fast you drive or how hard you run, if you can't finish the race it's all for nothing!
Without valid results, it’s useless even if you drive your car to the sky!
It seems that what I should do now is not to drive the car fast, but to participate in one or several car races steadily and completely, and then improve my results.
