Chapter 93 91: Small strength shocks

After testing the radio and making sure there was no problem, Qin Miao felt the grip of the steering wheel with both hands.

The steering wheel is a little too big, but this is someone else's car after all, and Qin Miao, a guest, cannot be picky about this.

After calming down my excitement, although it feels great to be in a formula car again, it is easy to make some irrational actions while driving in this state of excitement.

After his mood gradually calmed down, Qin Miao took one last deep breath, then pressed the clutch and shifted into gear, and gently drove the car out of the parking space.

The whole process was extremely smooth, and it looked like I was in contact with racing cars every day.

And all this was seen by Feeney, who was not far away.

Under the guidance of the team staff, Qin Miao drove the car into a P room at the Silverstone Circuit.

Qin Miao vaguely remembered that this seemed to be Haas's parking space during the British Grand Prix. However, after the F1 Grand Prix, all the black and gold paint that originally belonged to Haas in the P room was removed.

It was replaced by an ordinary rough room, but the rough here refers to an ordinary P room without any interior decoration, just a layer of white walls and ceilings, and some lighting equipment and wire interfaces.

That’s all.

After passing through here, you will see the pit lane of Silverstone Circuit.

Qin Miao couldn't wait to drive the car into the pit lane. Today was not an open day. There were only some teams from the Silverstone Circuit practicing on the track. Naturally, there were not many cars in the pit lane.

Most of the teams' vehicles are parked in their own P-rooms for inspection and debugging. Some will also review the performance of their own drivers on the track in the recent period and put forward some suggestions for improvement.

While driving in the maintenance area, Qin Miao also saw Zhou Guanyu's team and his car.

However, Zhou Guanyu was not in the garage at this time, and Qin Miao had no intention of saying hello. Sitting in the car, he could not wait to feel the adrenaline provided by the F3 racing engine, so Qin Miao directly

Then he drove the car out.

On this familiar yet unfamiliar track, Qin Miao did not do any warm-up laps. He had never been on the track before and did not dare to do flying laps at this time.

If Qin Miao dared to do flying circles in this state, then the car underneath him would dare to let him take off.

So in the first few laps, he mainly wanted to get familiar with the car underneath him and the track he was about to drive on.

The first thing is to find out whether the braking point of this track in reality is the same as the braking point commonly used by Qin Miao in the game.

For example, in the game, when Qin Miao takes some corners without many suitable reference objects, he likes to find some special asphalt blocks on the ground as his braking points. However, when he comes to reality, he is a little worried that he will

Will the braking points used in the game disappear due to track repairs?

Of course, the final result was mixed. The asphalt blocks in some corners had indeed disappeared, but Qin Miao could still find one or two familiar braking points on the corners.

Because there were a few missing braking points, Qin Miao had to spend a few laps to find a braking reference that she felt more comfortable with.

But to be honest, even if he found the braking point, Qin Miao would not dare to brake at the braking points that he was accustomed to before he was thoroughly familiar with the car and track.

After all, when he usually plays the simulator, he drives either F1 or GT3. He has never played F3 in the simulator.

Moreover, without using the human-vehicle integration skill card after getting in the car, Qin Miao not only had to gradually become familiar with the real Silverstone circuit, but also had to constantly explore the performance limits of the F3 car under her.

Although after buffing the car, he was not worried about the car having mechanical problems, Qin Miao was really unsure about the performance of the car itself.

But no matter how many difficulties Qin Miao had to face at this time, he was already very satisfied with being able to drive an F3 car, so even though he needed to collect a lot of data, he could still enjoy it.

…

The whole morning passed by in a hurry. Under the notice of the team, Qin Miao, who had already run countless laps on the track, was called back.

This is the second time he has returned to the pit area. The first time he returned to the pit area was because the tires were almost worn out by Qin Miao, and he was asked to go back and add oil.

The main reason why Qin Miao was called back this time was because it was already time for the team staff to take a break from get off work at noon.

After turning off the car and getting out of the car, the staff handed over a tablet computer.

After taking off his helmet and wiping his sweat, Qin Miao took the tablet handed to him.

It clearly records the data Qin Miao ran down all morning.

To be honest, the most eye-catching thing here is Qin Miao's lap timetable.

From the first lap when Qin Miao came into contact with the F3 car to the last lap in the morning, there was a huge gap of five seconds.

The entire table shows an obvious downward trend. Although the decline becomes lower in the later stages, Qin Miao's speed can basically increase in every lap.

Because of this, the team staff did not hesitate to praise Qin Miao: "Qin! Your results are great and your progress is obvious."

"To be honest, you are almost catching up with the qualifying speed of our team's official F3 driver. With your current ability, many F3 teams will be interested in you."

Upon hearing the other party's compliment, Qin Miao just smiled politely and didn't pay too much attention.

Because Qin Miao felt that she still had a lot of room for improvement, she was not very familiar with this car, and she was not very confident when cornering, so she did not push the limit too much in many corners.

If he becomes thoroughly familiar with the car and the track, and then finds a tuning setting that suits him, Qin Miao feels that his lap speed can be improved by about 0.7 seconds.

Moreover, the other party also said that he is just catching up with the qualifying speed of their team's official F3 driver, which shows that there is still a big gap between himself and the other party.

What Qin Miao didn't know was that this F3 team was actually the F3 division of the Prema Racing team.

Although this team's F2 results have been ups and downs. They won the F2 world championship in 2016 and 2017, but in 2018 they didn't even make it into the top three teams, let alone this year. They have a kind of dive all the way, reverse direction.

The attitude of winning the championship.

However, their F3 team's results have always been very good, and they are always the favorite to win the F3 series. Their F3 driver is also the leader among all F3 players.

And you must know that Qin Miao ran this kind of result using hard tires. Although when he finally did the results, his fuel tank was almost empty and the car was much lighter, but its tires were also worn a lot.

The soil fertility is compared to when it first started.

After taking into account these prerequisites, let’s look at the staff’s evaluation of Qin Miao. This is obviously a great compliment to Qin Miao.

Zhou Guanyu found Qin Miao at noon and took him to have lunch, but after eating, Qin Miao paid the bill quietly.

When Zhou Guanyu found out, he naturally complained about Qin Miao.

After resting for a while, Qin Miao returned to training in the afternoon.

After a morning of familiarization, Qin Miao already had a certain understanding of this F3, and in the afternoon Qin Miao began to try to set lap times in a real sense.

Qin Miao once again gave his car a buff and drove the car onto the track.

At the beginning, Qin Miao only repeatedly tested the edge of the limit, and did not push to the limit at every turn.

Test T3 and T4 on the first lap, and test T6 and T7 on the second lap. Use this method to familiarize yourself with the limits of this car on this track.

This state lasted for about an hour.

An hour later, Qin Miao came into the pit and changed to a new set of soft tires.

…

The roar of the engine sounded in the distance, and a red F3 racing car roared past the guardrail of the paddock with huge noise and wind.

The turbulent wind caused the dust and relatively light tire rubber on the side of the track to fly and swirl, and then fell to the ground.

At this time, Qin Miao had completed his first warm-up lap on red tires.

After the flight lap, T18 came out of the corner. This set of red tires gave Qin Miao a strong confidence in cornering.

Feeling the various scenery passing by on both sides of his field of vision, Qin Miao had a feeling that he was in good condition this lap and might be able to achieve a good result.

Because he had a premonition and had nearly a morning to get familiar with it, plus the confidence given by this set of red tires, Qin Miao pushed without reservation in this lap. It can be said that he devoted everything he had.

When he crossed the finish line, Qin Miao suddenly felt like he was exhausted after putting all his energy into this flying circle.

After having this feeling, Qin Miao knew that it was enough to stop here today, and running any further would only increase the risk and there would be no more gains.

So after completing the flight circle, Qin Miao said in his voice: "I'm going back to the maintenance area."

After the engineer heard this, he naturally immediately arranged for engineers to prepare to receive Qin Miao's racing car.

"How are my results?" However, Qin Miao still asked curiously during the return lap.

It was quiet for a while, and then a voice came from the TR: "1:42:601... To be honest, brother, this result is already faster than the qualifying result of our team's official driver. How did you do it?

"

Qin Miao said frankly: "I don't know, everything will fall into place."

This is a truth. When doing this lap, Qin Miao knew that he was in particularly good condition and might get good results.

But he never thought that his results would be as good as what was said in TR. He felt that he just tried his best and his results were indeed very good. Everything happened naturally.

Drive the car back to the garage again.

At this time, there were already staff waiting at the entrance of the garage, and Qin Miao even saw Zhou Guanyu, who was leaning on the edge of the Prema garage chatting with the team staff.

Qin Miao didn't care. After parking the car, Qin Miao jumped out of his seat.

After taking off his helmet, he nodded to Zhou Guanyu as a greeting, and then Qin Miao hurriedly ran to the team's data detection engineer.

Here, Qin Miao was able to find the operation inspection chart of his last flight circle.

Now that Qin Miao's ability has improved, Qin Miao can also understand the tables that were like reading from heaven.

Zhou Guanyu also followed curiously.
