Chapter 330 Lap Time (Part 2)
After a tacit silence, the first exclamation came from the public channel.
"how is this possible?"
"too crazy!"
"Oh, it's just incredible!"
"This is an illusion, this is an illusion, it won't scare me!"
...
A series of praises sounded out of nowhere, almost joining together.
Everyone couldn't help but admire, seven minutes and forty seconds, this is definitely the best time this year except for some perverted super sports cars. You know, the best time of the Porsche 993 Turbo this year is only 7 minutes and 57 seconds, just within eight minutes.
Before the speed test, everyone saw the car's starting speed and the exterior design of the car. According to their experience, they felt that the car could run within 8 minutes and 30 seconds. Some people have even overestimated it, thinking that they can run within 8 minutes and 20 seconds, but none of them can believe that this car can run in 7 minutes and 40 seconds on the first lap.
What is the equivalent of seven minutes and forty seconds? Bugatti Veyron's performance at the New Nordschleife in December 2005 was seven minutes and forty seconds, which was still in 2005.
After Guo Tailai combined the advantages of several top-end sports cars, this T-head sports car was refitted. With only a little over 500 horsepower, it ran an astonishing 7 minutes and 40 seconds in the first lap.
"Seven minutes and forty seconds? Oh NO, I didn't pass a corner in that lap just now, and I think I can do better." Hearing his first lap results on the radio channel, Hines was slightly agitated. Dissatisfied, but also very excited.
Of course Hines should be excited. Generally speaking, such results should be driven by the chief driver of each team, under the protection of the professional team of the team, and under the careful adjustment of dozens of engineers from a large factory , it can only be achieved by using the best spare parts at any cost. He is the last reserve driver of the team who has no chance to drive.
This vacation is really lucky! Of course, it was also related to Hines' own keen observation and thick skin. He saw Guo Tailai's only acceleration on the track, and he saw that it was unusual. Then he took the initiative to follow Guo Tailai back to the parking space, and shamelessly recommended himself for a test drive, otherwise, he would never have had the chance to touch this car. It's really cool!
The excited Hines stopped yelling this time, concentrated all his energy, stared at the road ahead, and tried to do his best in every movement and use the most appropriate method for every corner.
Fortunately, Hines is a local. He has played no less than hundreds of laps on this New Nordschleife, and he is very familiar with every corner and every straight road here. Under no circumstances, run through every intersection with the best condition.
The engineers of the big factory almost all stopped their work and were waiting for the lap time results of the second lap. Even the driver who parked his car on the side of the road just now stopped running completely, and watched the black lightning pass by his side again from the side of the road.
"Seven minutes and thirty-three seconds." When the official speed test notified everyone of the results of the second lap through the public channel, there was another burst of exclamation.
This result has surpassed many popular supercars and squeezed into the front positions. This crazy car is simply creating miracles! When did Huaxia have such a powerful modification master? Or a private modification master?
Hines was still not satisfied, he felt that he had not fully utilized the performance of the car. After two laps at high speed, Hines seemed to become more and more excited. He was originally a preparatory F1 driver, and the faster he was, the more excited he would be. For him, the first few laps were just warming up the tires and improving his condition, and the third lap was the real race.
Yes, Hines treated the lap time as a competition. He is a reserve driver, and he doesn't have many chances to be on the official track, but the lap record measured by this is able to keep his name. Especially in my hometown, it is an honor to leave my name on the track of my hometown!
Stimulated by this kind of mentality, Hines has really entered the best racing state, even if there is no real-time command from the commander-in-chief in his ears, even if the car is not a professional F1 car, even if the road has just been lightened due to the rain. Do something, he can't care about these, he has nothing else to do, only the track in his eyes, passed one car after another, and finally saw the finish line again.
"Seven minutes and twenty-nine seconds." As soon as the results of the third lap were announced, cheers erupted from the entire public channel.
No matter whether it is Guo Tailai or not, no matter what country they are from, no matter what big factory they are from, everyone cheers.
Seven minutes and thirty seconds is a dividing line. As long as you run under seven minutes and thirty seconds, you can be called a horse in the world. If a mass-produced fuel car can break into this mark, it can definitely be called a high-performance fuel car.
For the time being, the various models of the major manufacturers who have been queuing up for testing during this period of time do not have the confidence to run within 7 minutes and 30 seconds. Today, a sports car modified by a Chinese modification expert ran into this dividing line, which is definitely something worth celebrating.
In the public channels, the major manufacturers already know where Guo Tailai’s parking space is, it’s next door to Chevrolet, and after hearing the results of the third lap, almost every major manufacturer has people rushing in that direction, wanting to get closer. Take a closer look at the sacred car from a distance.
When Hines drove back to the parking space, at least 20 people had already gathered here to visit. Fortunately, each family restrained themselves and only sent one engineer over to observe it, instead of rushing over in droves.
After getting out of the car, when Hines took off the driver's helmet, some of them immediately recognized Hines and called out his name. Those who didn't know asked in a low voice, and they all knew the identity of Hines.
Reserve driver for McLaren? No wonder there is such a formidable driving level. It should be able to get good grades. After knowing the drivers, everyone's attention was focused on the car itself.
How does the engine perform after running at extreme speed? What are the parameters? How is the car's exterior aerodynamics? What are the tires used for? Which gearbox? Replaced the chassis or used the old one? How was it adjusted? How about the interior? These are the focal points of interest for engineers.
Guo Tailai didn't have any secrets, he opened the hood and let everyone see it first.
"What kind of precision is this?" All experienced veterans exclaimed as soon as the hood was opened.
At first glance, the engineers saw the shock.
