This is not how you drive a machine!

Chapter 10: Curving Torpedo?

Sitting in the car, the moment his hands were on the steering wheel, Zhou Yun's hands couldn't help but tremble.

I haven't touched racing for more than two years. Can I still reach my previous level?
This is a race between an ordinary car and a mecha girl. Can he win?
Although this car is a racing car he modified, its performance is still far behind that of the Mecha Girl.

All kinds of questions weighed on Zhou Yun's mind, and those scenes flashed before his eyes again.

A spinning sky, a dusty asphalt track, flying hoods, shattered windshields... and raging fire.

Racing cost him his life.

However, when Zhou Yun looked at the track, his hands stopped shaking.

It turns out that Mr. Lin Yao was right.

He loves racing, loves the thrill of driving, and is crazy about participating in competitions.

It's not to prove how great he is, but to win back everything he lost.

The car was ready, and so was he.

Zhou Yun couldn't help but smile. So what if the other party was a mecha girl?

He is a unique driver in this world!
Once he was in the racing car, he didn't want to lose.

"Teach me how to turn? Today I'll show you the true art of driving."

Zhou Yun gently placed his hand on the gear, and all his self-doubt disappeared.

Put the car in first gear, press the clutch with your left foot, step on the brake with your right foot, gently press the accelerator with your heel, then slowly release the brake with your toes and lightly press the accelerator with your heel.

After the familiar heel-toe movement of the racing car came out, the engine began to roar and the tachometer began to climb slowly.

The performance of the mecha girl is terrifying. If it starts normally, the speed will be greatly reduced, so he used a catapult start.

Launch the car, control the engine speed, torque and tire friction limits, and let the car output the maximum torque at the moment of starting to achieve the best acceleration.

In this world, only Zhou Yun and the car he modified can do this.

Soon, the number on the tachometer soared to around 7,000, the clutch slowly lifted, and the smell of burning clutch filled the entire car.

Immediately afterwards, the rear wheel began to slide slowly and a puff of white smoke rose from the tire.

……

"What are you doing, man? How come you can't even drive?"

Yue Lin glanced down and said with a smile, "How did he make the tire smoke? Did he give all his skills back to the driving school?"

Because there is no burnout start in this world, Zhou Yun's behavior of starting with the tires smoking seemed quite clownish to Yue Lin.

Only some novice drivers who don't know how to drive have made this joke.

Normal cars have stable start-up control systems.

Under this system, half-clutching is an illegal operation, and starting with burnouts is impossible. Only a novice who stomps on the accelerator and brake at the same time will, by chance, make the tires smoke.

Zhou Yun's move made Yue Lin feel that this man was a joke.

Lin Yao didn't know what was going on. He smiled awkwardly and said nothing.

He also began to doubt in his heart, could Zhou Yun really... drive?
"I think the entire starting control system has been dismantled." Kong Guancheng narrowed his eyes and saw a little bit of the clue: "Braking and accelerating at the same time... Isn't this burning the clutch?"

"I don't think this guy can drive at all." Yue Lin asked Lin Yao with some sarcasm, "Even so, you still recommend this person to my team? What are you thinking?"

Lin Yao was extremely embarrassed. He wanted to pull Zhou Yun back, but Kong Guancheng had already connected to the broadcasting system.

"There's still time left before the competition..."

"three!"

"two!"

"one!"

As the green light on the track came on, they saw the front of Zhou Yun's car jump high, and the whole car was ejected like a cannonball.

Then Zhou Yun's car stuck closely to Jiang Wuyang's Qingluan, and they were equally fast.

Seeing this scene, Yue Lin couldn't help but widen his eyes.

"Fuck!"

He turned around and found that the other two people had the same expression.

……

The familiar feeling of being pushed back came over him, and Zhou Yun smiled as he looked at the raised front of the car.

Not calculated.

The vehicle's torque was too great, and the center of gravity of the car was not adjusted perfectly. After the launch, the front of the car directly lifted up.

Although it looks fancy, it is still a bit slow.

After the front of the car dropped, he quickly shifted gears and kept the car body close to Qingluan.

Although his starting speed has caught up, his acceleration is still slower than that of the opponent's mecha girl. As the game time goes on, his speed will get worse and worse.

Zhou Yun held his breath and fixed his eyes on the first 120-degree bend 500 meters ahead.

Must overtake there!

Although it was his first time at the Xiaoyunshan Circuit, there was a track map posted at the entrance. He had glanced at it before arriving and had practically memorized it.

He had repeated the back bend countless times, and he could remember it even for a short time.

If you want to win, you must overtake at this first corner.

After the bend, there is a long and narrow straight road. If the opponent's driver is allowed to exit the bend early, then the opponent's speed advantage will be fully utilized.

There is no doubt that by that time, he will be left behind so badly that he won't even be able to see his taillights.

On the contrary, if he exits the corner early, he can block the opponent's overtaking route and have a greater chance of winning.

However, as the game progressed, the performance advantage of the mecha girl was fully demonstrated.

Qingluan passed him little by little from the outer lane, as if mocking his attempt to challenge the mecha girl.

……

"Qingluan, this kid is a bit weird."

Jiang Wuyang was stunned for a moment, then said to Qingluan through the neural link: "Dismantle the launch control, step on the brake and accelerator, wait until the torque and grip reach the limit balance, then release the clutch and brake. This idea is good, but it consumes too much clutch plate."

As a veteran driver, he easily figured out Zhou Yun's skills and what specific modules to modify.

At this moment, he had to admit that this kid had something.

No wonder he dared to brag like that last night.

It turns out you have some skills, but... that's not enough for you to be so arrogant as to scold my daughter.

"Hurry up! I don't want to be overtaken by a grocery cart. It would be embarrassing if it got out."

Qingluan pulled Jiang Wuyang back to the track with an annoyed voice. Jiang Wuyang smiled and said, "I don't know how he modified the car to go so fast, but after all, it's just a grocery store. Qingluan, speed up."

"You don't need to tell me."

As Qingluan accelerated, the performance advantage of the machine girl was fully reflected at this moment, and the distance between her and Zhou Yun was instantly nearly half a car body.

The distance between the two cars was getting bigger and bigger.

"Speaking of Qingluan, can you start like him?"

"Unless the machine girl is crazy, she wouldn't do such a thing."

"why?"

"Think about it, if you're running a race with someone and before you start, you firmly step on your right foot with your left foot, wouldn't that be awkward?"

"..." Jiang Wuyang was silent for a moment, then asked: "But it can still be done, right?"

"I need to overhaul the module. Are you crazy?" Qingluan continued, "Stop talking... This track is too slippery. I need to slow down in advance."

Jiang Wuyang nodded and held the joystick with both hands. There was a large-angle turn ahead, and he instantly chose the best route to cut the turn.

As the saying goes, a driver's performance depends entirely on his cornering speed.

It's very simple.

Vehicles travel fastest on straight roads.

The faster you exit a corner, the less time you have to accelerate, the longer you are at full throttle, and the higher your lap time.

What determines the speed out of a corner is the cornering route chosen by the driver.

The so-called miss is a thousand miles away.

The wrong route resulted in a 0.1 second delay in exiting a corner, which slowed the speed by 1km/h, and the speed at the next corner could be 10km/h slower.

After all, if you are slow to exit the corner, you will still be accelerating on the next straight while the opponent is already running at full speed!
For the angled bend in front of you, the best route is to stick close to the outside of the bend first, then turn late, with the cutting point at two-thirds of the bend, and then go at full speed after passing the cutting point (Apex point).

After pushing Qingluan close to the outer lane and occupying the best route, Jiang Wuyang turned his gaze towards Zhou Yun.

Because he was a little curious about what he would choose.

Is it a bad route?

Or follow closely behind him and take the same route into the turn?

Regardless, he had the upper hand.

According to common sense, we are sure to win.

But his eyelids were twitching violently, and a bad premonition lingered in his heart.

Qingluan's speed dropped rapidly, and soon it reached the maximum speed for cornering. If it slowed down a little more, Qingluan would easily fly off the track.

He calmed his mind, carefully controlled the direction, and let Qingluan speed up after passing the center of the bend.

At this moment, he discovered that Zhou Yun had caught up with him.

Zhou Yun's car did not slow down at all, but continued to accelerate. It soon came to his left rear and had missed the best braking point.

Just when he was wondering what Zhou Yun was going to do, he found that Zhou Yun controlled the front of the car to turn in the opposite direction of the bend, that is, in the direction of Qingluan.

Seeing that the front of Zhou Yun's car was about to hit Qingluan's butt, he couldn't help but roar.

"Holy crap! A curve torpedo?"
