The Formula One track at the Shanghai International Circuit has a single lap length of 5.451 kilometers. The fastest lap record was set by Schumacher in 2004, with a time of 1 minute 32.238 seconds, but that was an F1 car.
The lap times of road-legal cars are all above 2 minutes. The mass-produced car that broke the record this year was the NIO EP9, which reached a terrifying 2 minutes and 1 second, just one second away from breaking the 2-minute mark.
Unfortunately, this electric car cannot be registered and can only be used on the racetrack, while the Bugatti is a real beast on the road.
"Ah~~"
He lightly stepped on the accelerator, and Xia Yu rushed out with the car amid the roar of the engine.
He didn't start very fast. The first lap was just to familiarize himself with the track, so there was no need to try too hard. However, he was really relaxed once he got on the track.
The traffic conditions on the road are complicated, and with the speed limit, you have to step on the brakes after stepping on the accelerator, and you can't let go at all.
If Xia Yu has the chance in the future, he would like to go to the United States to experience the highway without speed limit. If he is in China, he’d better stay on the track!
"Ah~Ah~~"
After reaching 180kmh, Xia Yu began to slow down to enter the corner. This track has a total of 7 left turns and 7 right turns, which is the same number as Tianma Mountain's 8 left turns and 6 right turns, but the length is more than one and a half times longer.
The biggest difference is the longest straight between corners T13 and T14 at the International Circuit, which is 1,175 meters long.
Only with such a long straight road can you enjoy the intense pleasure brought by straight-line acceleration to the greatest extent.
After passing several turns, the longest straight road finally appeared in front of Xia Yu.
The moment he exited the corner, he stepped on the accelerator to the bottom.
More fuel mixed with air rushed into the engine's sixteen cylinders, the pistons moved wildly, and the engine speed continued to rise.
Every time Xia Yu pressed the shift paddle, the sound became louder and louder, and the tachometer was visibly jumping.
100kmh!
200kmh!
300kmh!
This is the maximum speed that the AMG GTR has ever reached, but at this speed, the pointer still did not stop.
350kmh!
400kmh!
At that time, the speed exceeded 400. Xia Yu, who was holding the steering wheel, had a cold face, but his mind was full of thoughts.
This is probably the speed of high-speed rail. I have never ridden in a test train that can reach 600+.
At this moment, Xia Yu felt that Bugatti satisfied all his fantasies about sports cars. He had felt so before, but only when you really reach this speed can you truly enter the "sage time", and everything outside the car is so boring.
“Beep~beep~beep~~”
When the speedometer needle stopped at 420kmh, a prompt sound suddenly sounded amid the noisy roar.
This tells you that you have reached the speed limit and no more pressing the accelerator will increase your speed.
No, he has to unlock the speed limit and fully squeeze out the performance of this W16 engine.
He moved his right foot from the accelerator to the brake, and with a few taps, the high-speed beast stopped in the shortest time possible with the action of the 8-piston front and 6-piston rear brakes, and then slowly drove to Ji Yang's side.
"How is it, is it fun?"
"It's okay, but only reaching 420 isn't satisfying. I want to challenge the top speed."
Xia Yu pushed open the car door and said with a smile.
"Awesome, let's race together?"
Ji Yang suggested.
What he meant by "speeding up" was not about lap time, but about top speed.
Same car, same engine, Xia Yu's choice of ultra-lightweight wheels may have a slight advantage, but he has been resting now and is obviously more energetic.
Ji Yang felt that this kind of competition was fair, but he didn't know that the person standing in front of him was a human cheater.
"OK!"
Xia Yu accepted his proposal.
Ji Yang opened the car door. There was a magnetic groove on the lower door frame, which was the place where the speed limit key of Bugatti Chiron was placed, and the keyhole was right next to it.
The two of them tacitly picked up their respective keys and inserted them into the keyholes together.
“Ding~Ding~~”
The speed limit unlocking prompt sounded twice, but it was more of a warning than a prompt.
The maximum speed of an F1 car is only 350kmh (the specific value depends on the venue, fuel load, and tires). If it exceeds 400kmh, the car will be destroyed and people will die if you are not careful, so experiencing the speed is like walking on the edge of a knife.
Bugatti has an obligation to warn car owners of the possible consequences of their actions, and adults must learn to be responsible for themselves.
In fact, Ji Yang booked the Magic City International Circuit to be responsible for himself and others.
With only two cars on the huge racetrack, the probability of accidents was reduced to a minimum, and the high-quality track was a guarantee of safety.
Rich people value their lives more than ordinary people. If they still get into an accident like this, it's really bad luck, and there's nothing to complain about.
The two of them got into their cars and slowly came to the starting point of the longest straight line, the exit of T13 curve.
"Ah~Ah~~"
The moment the timing indicator light came on in the distance, two cars, one red and one black, rushed out almost at the same time.
In less than three seconds, the numbers of zero and one hundred for the two cars appeared directly on the big screen.
No. 1 (Xia Yu): 2.4s
No. 2 (Ji Yang): 2.5s
Xia Yu achieved the official result given by Bugatti, while Ji Yang was 0.1 second slower in operation. However, he kept up with Xia Yu, and the difference between them was only more than half a car body length.
Do you think you can overtake if you hold on?
With the help of the driving buff, Xia Yu shifted gears and accelerated smoothly, leaving Ji Yang completely behind in the acceleration from 100 to 200 km/h.
