Theoretically speaking, now that the tire performance has been damaged and a certain amount of grip has been lost and speed has been affected, if you want to make the car run faster, Xiao Ning's approach can indeed increase the speed!

The headlights of ae86 adopt a jumping light design. You can often only see this kind of retro design on some old sports cars.

The reason why a mechanical design like jumping lights became so popular in that specific era was not actually because this structural design had any outstanding performance advantages. It was completely a coincidence that this thing became popular around the world in that specific era.

In the last century, the automobile-related regulations of lighthouse countries began to have clear and strict requirements for car headlights. They required that the ground clearance of the car's headlights must be higher than 610 mm, and the shape must be two seven-inch round lights.<

/p>

Because sports cars usually maintain a low profile, in order for such a car to comply with relevant regulations, a novel design must be used to meet the detailed requirements for headlights.

So some designers started to use their brains. After all, we cannot let car companies from all over the world give up the world's largest car market just because of such regulations.

The final solution is to imitate the cord810, the world's first car with a "jumping light" design, and install jumping lights on all models that do not meet regulatory requirements.

This kind of hidden headlight design perfectly took into account the requirements of regulations and daily use in that era, and thus successfully won the favor of many car companies. More and more cars equipped with pop-up light designs have sprung up in the automobile market.

The reason why no cars now use the jumping light design is actually due to many factors.

Part of the reason is that this design inherently has "design flaws". If a car accident occurs when someone is injured when the jump light is turned on, it will inevitably cause secondary injuries to the person who is hit because of the design structure of the jump light. This design is placed on the

Vehicles are a safety hazard for pedestrians.

Another part of the reason is that the jump light, as an electronically controlled mechanical structure, is prone to aging at the mechanical level, and structural aging damage can easily occur after repeated opening and closing.

In addition to these reasons, the reason why car manufacturers around the world collectively no longer launch models with jumping lights is actually because this thing itself is not aerodynamic!

It will make the car slower!

It will make the car consume more fuel!

After the jump lights are turned on, the headlights and lampshades rising from below will increase the wind resistance of the entire car!

For a car equipped with a jump light, if the aerodynamics test is conducted with the jump light on and off, you will obviously find that the wind resistance of the car is greater when the jump light is on, which affects fuel consumption and vehicle speed.

It will be higher!

The fundamental reason why Xiao Ning turned off the jump light just now was to reduce the impact of wind resistance!

Even if the actual reduction in wind resistance is relatively limited, in fact, for a car traveling at high speed, only a small reduction in wind resistance can significantly improve the acceleration!

For a car traveling at 80 kilometers per hour, almost half of the movement resistance comes from air resistance, which means that half of the engine's work is fighting against wind resistance!

For a car traveling at a speed of 120 kilometers per hour, wind resistance accounts for 85% of the resistance to motion!

When the car's speed reaches 165 kilometers per hour, 95% of the resistance to motion comes from wind resistance!

The faster the car speeds, the greater the wind resistance will be. Every time the car speed doubles, the air resistance it faces will increase by three times!

When the vehicle speed reaches a certain level, even if the wind resistance is reduced slightly, the speed gain will be extremely considerable!

In the eyes of people who don't understand, companies that spend huge sums of money to make progress in aerodynamics and develop new aerodynamic structures are actually a bit baffling.

In their view, spending so much money just to reduce a little bit of air resistance is completely incomprehensible and unreasonable.

But the technical R&D personnel of these large companies are definitely not fools.

The reason why those top supercars and even F1 racing cars spend huge amounts of money to research various streamlined structural materials is to improve the aerodynamic performance of the car and reduce as much as possible the slightest bit of air resistance!

Xiao Ning's operation of turning off the car lights at this moment is actively reducing the air resistance encountered by ae86!

In terms of power output, there is no need to allocate this part of the force to fight against air resistance, so the force that originally needs to fight against wind resistance will naturally be converted into wheel horsepower!

Wind resistance is reduced!

Increased thrust!

The speed will naturally be faster!

Now that the speed of the ae86 has exceeded 200 kilometers per hour, the benefits brought by this seemingly slight reduction in wind resistance are extremely considerable!

In the world-famous F1 competition, F1 racing cars have a system called "drs". Translating the abbreviation into Chinese, it is the adjustable tail wing adjustment system, also known as the air resistance reduction system.

When certain conditions comply with the competition rules, F1 drivers will use drs to overtake and accelerate.

The basic principle is actually to use aerodynamics to obtain smaller wind resistance or greater downforce by adjusting the rear wing!

In the F1 competition, because the cars are traveling very fast, even such subtle aerodynamic changes will bring unexpected and surprising results.

The use of the DRS system to complete overtaking has even become one of the most exciting aspects of the F1 game!

Although Xiao Ning's operation of turning off the car lights is not the same as drs, it is essentially the same!

Both of these methods are changing the aerodynamic performance of the car and using aerodynamic changes to bring speed gains to the car!

After figuring out everything Xiao Ning did in a flash.

Xie Bin was stunned in place.

Under such an unexpected situation, Xiao Ning was able to calm down to such an extent, in an almost "unbridled" way in his eyes, which cast a new layer of mystery on the result that originally seemed to be an inevitable failure of the challenge.
p>

Such an extremely imaginative operation!

It’s incredible!

"Who in the right mind would have thought that something like this could be done at this juncture?"

"Xiao Xiao is simply amazing!"

"It's too exaggerated!"

"How did he get the idea to do this?"

"What did he think?"

"He definitely doesn't watch less F1 races!"

After these thoughts flashed through, Xie Bin looked at the monitor that was completely dark and could only hear the crazy roar of the engine. The tension and worry in Xie Bin's heart instantly filled his chest.

Indeed!

Theoretically speaking, Xiao Ning's operation of turning off the jump lights can indeed reduce wind resistance. Now that the speed is so fast, these negligible reductions in wind resistance will inevitably achieve a certain degree of acceleration!

If the calculation is considered completely theoretically, then ae86's plan to accelerate to 280 kilometers per hour and brake in advance before the braking point arrives can even be said to have been realized.

But actually!

This is a very scary thing!

Because at this time, Xiao Ning turned off the car lights and stepped on the accelerator to the bottom!

Not only was the screen on the monitor completely dark at this time, but Xiao Ning, who was actually driving in the tunnel, was also in total darkness and couldn't see his fingers!

"Don't say driving in a tunnel without turning on the lights in the middle of the night, even if you are driving in a tunnel without turning on the lights during the day! This is also an act of committing suicide!"

"This almost relies entirely on intuition and experience to control the vertical posture of the car!"

When Xie Bin was shocked, everyone on the Red Bull team was not in a very optimistic mood.

Xie Bin was able to figure out the reason why Xiao Ning turned off the lights in a moment. As a professional team, the Red Bull team and others can naturally also figure it out.

John's brows were already furrowed: "If I remember correctly, when we tested acceleration at the airport before, because it was getting late, Xiao Ning tested the speed with his car lights on!"

The deputy on the side quickly replied: "Indeed!"

"If you turn off the lights to reduce wind resistance, the acceleration of this 1,000-horsepower ae86 will actually be better than the best data we tested before!"

"Now Xiao Ning gains aerodynamic advantage by turning off the lights..."

"It is very possible that he can ignore part of the loss of tire performance!"

"It is entirely possible that he increased the speed to 280 kilometers per hour before the braking point arrived, and then braked in advance, and reduced the speed to the safety line through a longer braking distance when the tire performance was damaged!"<

/p>

What Deputy John said is what everyone else is thinking at this time.

Just because everyone can think of this does not mean that everyone can be optimistic about Xiao Ning's current challenges.

Even now, sufficient acceleration is most likely no longer a problem.

But in this situation, how Xiao Ning survives until the upcoming braking point is the problem!

Driving to more than 200 kilometers per hour without any sight, even on a straight road, places extremely high demands on the driver!

Stop talking about driving!

If someone without professional training is asked to close his eyes and walk even a few steps, he will inevitably walk crookedly!

If you walk crookedly, it will be crooked, but Xiao Ning is different now!

When the speed exceeds 200 per hour, if the steering wheel offset is even the slightest bit more, the car's driving posture will deviate!

John was so nervous that his voice trembled: "What is Xiao Ning's current speed?"

The deputy glanced at the computer, then frowned and said: "Two hundred and forty-seven kilometers per hour!"

Two hundred and forty-seven kilometers per hour!

It’s almost equivalent to traveling 70 meters in one second!

And Xiao Ning's speed continues to increase!
To be continued...
