Ji Yang complained while helping Xia Yu change into green semi-rain tires.
He was also a die-hard fan back then. During his four years in Yingguo, whenever there was a game, he would either go to watch it alone or bring his girlfriend with him.
I returned to China in the past two years and entered the supercar circle, so I paid less attention to F1.
"Actually, compared to the competition, I like cars more."
Xia Yu spoke from his heart. As a person who loves appearance, he fell in love with the sport because of the appearance of F1 cars. Unlike fans like Ji Yang, who can remember every year's race process by heart, if he has to say, he is more interested in the highlights of the mistakes in the game.
Such as another collision, another slow tire change, and another tire flying off.
I hope his F2002 doesn't crash. Even if a Bugatti crashes, you can buy another one. But as for those old F1 cars that have created honors, every time they crash, there will be fewer of them. This is really not a problem that money can solve.
"Me too. The best-looking Ferrari is still its F1 car. I really don't like those sports cars."
Ji Yang reached a consensus with Xia Yu on this point.
"But starting out in F1 is a bit of a big step!"
It usually takes a driver eight years to make the transition from karting to F1, and Ji Yang, the oldest of the two, has only been behind the wheel for eight years.
"I drove an F3 car in England, but I've never driven an F1."
Seeing that the tire was almost replaced, Ji Yang started to get scared.
"What are you afraid of? I've only ever driven a go-kart!"
It was He Jiawen who asked Xia Yu to play go-kart. He felt that he was driving well, but someone at the scene turned the go-kart into a bumper car, and one car overturned and caused several people to fall.
I’m afraid Xia Yu is the only one who has been promoted directly from karting to F1.
"Brother, don't scare me!"
After hearing what Xia Yu said, Ji Yang's face almost turned green.
Although this guy is great at driving a supercar, F1 and supercars are two different things. This thing may not have a top speed as high as a supercar, but the complexity is several levels higher.
"Hahaha, look at your cowardly look, I've driven this car before, I know how to drive it."
Xia Yu couldn't help but laugh.
The entire vehicle must be tested before it can be fully prepared. He also got familiar with the operation at the same time. Ji Yang still needs to ask him for advice on this aspect!
However, before leaving the track, both of them were equal, and their advantage was probably their familiarity with the Shanghai F1 track.
There was no other way. Tianma Mountain was remote and short, and could only support F3-level events. After he and Ji Yang became familiar with each other, he basically stopped going there. If he wanted to go, he would only go to the international racing circuit, and the whole place would be booked out.
To exaggerate a little, I know the track route so well that I can drive my own car with my eyes closed, but I have to open my eyes to drive this F2002.
You can practice lap times slowly after you are familiar with it. Today, I am just here to familiarize myself with the car.
Ji Yang's tow truck came directly to the door and transported the F2002 and the Silver Sword GTR to the Magic City International Circuit. They also brought an extra set of rain tires in case the rain got heavier.
Zeppelin arrived with the two of them in his car. The huge racetrack had been rented by Ji Yang. Apart from the staff, there were only their group of people there.
The cold rain hit the ground. The F2002 that had been pre-started in the museum was unloaded, and the two went to the locker room to change clothes first.
Xia Yu was naturally wearing a sexy bright red racing suit, and when he put on a helmet, others thought Vettel had come!
As a former four-time champion, Vettel joined Ferrari in 2015, but unfortunately he was unable to start his own dynasty like his idol Schumacher.
This year's champion is Hamilton, and it was also him in previous years. I wonder if it will be him again next year?
In this regard, Xia Yu was only concerned about the results; he was more interested in the car itself.
He picked up the steering wheel he had brought with him and got into the F2002.
"Buzz~~~"
The roar of the engine pierced through the sparse rain and resounded throughout the sky above the Magic City International Circuit.
This beast, older than a racing track, awakens once again and races on this unfamiliar track for the first time.
The circular longitudinal grooves of the semi-rain tires keep the car firmly under control on the track. Xia Yu, sitting in the driver's seat, feels extremely refreshed. Is this F1? Is this the charm of Ferrari?
So exciting!
The cold winter rain could not extinguish his enthusiasm at the moment, and he soon finished a full lap.
As for the grades, they are only 3 points.
After all, it was raining and the roads were slippery, and it was also the first time to officially go on the track, so safety was definitely the top priority.
As for why the accelerator is so loud, just blame the 3.0-liter V10 engine. The sound is louder than that of the 8.0-liter W16. It seems that F1 is a competition of who has the loudest voice.
It's a pity that the V10 of that year became a swan song. It transitioned to V8 and then to the current V6, and the voice has become smaller and smaller.
After running a lap, Xia Yu had a rough idea in his mind. Apart from the complicated control, there was not much difference between driving an F1 and driving a supercar. Entering a corner depended on following the line, not drifting.
When it comes to strategy and tactics, they only have one F1 car, and they are the only ones on the entire track. If they really want to use tactics, they can only compete with the air.
After digesting the experience just now, Xia Yu prepared to run another lap.
"Buzz~~"
He turned into a red galloping horse and disappeared at the end of the rain curtain, leaving only the roar still echoing.
Wow, 2 minutes and 35 seconds, it’s almost breaking the lap record for four-door production cars.
It is a bit unfair to compare an F1 car with a four-door production car, but his F2002 is already 16 years old. In addition, it was raining that day, so no matter how much advantage he had, he was pulled to the same starting line.
