Soon, everything was ready, and the five red lights in the game lit up one by one. Qin Miao also stepped on about one-fifth of the accelerator, keeping the engine speed at 9,500 rpm, and pressed her finger on the clutch button. .
Qin Miao also focused all his attention on the traffic lights, waiting for the moment when the five red lights went out.
However, Qin Miao also devoted some of his attention to looking at his system.
He was quite looking forward to the system giving him a task or something. This was not for rewards, but mainly because Qin Miao wanted this game to be more challenging.
It's a pity that Qin Miao's expectations turned out to be fantasies. Perhaps because this was just a game on the simulator, there was no movement from the system and no system tasks were assigned to Qin Miao.
Qin Miao was not disappointed and regained his composure.
At the same time, the five red lights on Qin Miao's screen went out at the same time. Qin Miao almost pressed the clutch button as fast as he could, keeping the accelerator deep and starting quickly.
As the saying goes, if you compare yourself with others, you will die, but if you compare goods, you will throw them away.
Qin Miao's starting ability is only 59 points, which is completely worth mentioning in front of those F1 drivers. However, compared with the tourists who participated in this small challenge with Qin Miao, Qin Miao's starting ability can be called Crush.
Among the other two tourists who participated in the event, one forgot to turn on the traction control system that comes with the game. After starting, his foot was directly on the floor, and his Mercedes also spun on the spot.
The other person's start was quite satisfactory and stable, but it was just stable and had no speed at all. Qin Miao was far behind him as soon as he started.
With just one start, Qin Miao was at least one second ahead of the Mercedes behind him, let alone another buddy who didn't even understand how to start.
Since the rules stipulated that the defending driver should give the challenger 5 seconds, so when Qin Miao drove out and entered T1, the defending driver behind him started.
And this five-second period does not include the time when the car accelerates, so the gap between Qin Miao and the chasing driver is actually about eight seconds.
There is nothing to say in the first two laps. After all, there is a gap of eight seconds. Except for the unlucky guy who slipped at the beginning, the defending driver could not even catch up with the person behind Qin Miao in the first two laps.
Qin Miao also steadily pulled away from the driver behind him by at least 1.5 seconds every lap. By the time the second lap was completed, the gap between Qin Miao and the driver behind him had reached close to 4 seconds.
If this gap appears in a race, the driver behind will definitely feel desperate.
However, Qin Miao did not let down his guard because the driver behind him was not his opponent. Even the interests of the two people were the same. Neither of them wanted to be surpassed by the defending driver.
In the middle of the second lap, the defending driver had already arrived in the DRS area of the person behind Qin Miao.
However, Qin Miao was still lucky at this time. He felt that no matter how amateur the person behind him was, he could at least play racing games. It shouldn't be a big problem to block the driver for half a circle.
But what Qin Miao didn't expect was that when he once again diverted some attention to the ranking options in the upper left corner, the defending driver had easily overtaken him on the first DRS straight with a faster exit speed. That driver.
And at this time, the gap with Qin Miao was quickly shortened.
At this moment, Qin Miao really had the illusion that her anus was tightening.
At the same time, the driving style on hand has become more aggressive and adventurous inadvertently.
Although it is just an innocuous little competition, Qin Miao still has a strong desire to win. Although Qin Miao is systematic and does not say it, he still thinks that he is stronger than ordinary GT3 professional drivers.
But despite this, the gap between Qin Miao and the defending driver, which was originally more than 6 seconds, is still rapidly shortening at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Basically every lap can be shortened by nearly 2 seconds.
In fact, given the opponent's approaching speed, Qin Miao didn't have to worry about the opponent catching up with him. After all, the game was still over in two laps.
But Qin Miao's attention was all on the game at this time, and he had no extra thoughts to pay attention to how long it would take to end the game.
Moreover, the defending driver behind him put a lot of psychological pressure on Qin Miao invisibly.
It is difficult for people who have never experienced it to understand this feeling. There is a very fast person chasing you behind you at an incredible speed.
Although you can win as long as you maintain your own rhythm, there is always someone following you behind you. If you make a mistake, the victory that is so easy for you will disappear. The pressure will make a person breathless. .
Qin Miao's mentality system has been analyzed for a long time. It was originally only a barely passing level of 61 points. After a period of high-intensity training, his mentality attribute growth was also the lowest, and it was raised to 65 points.
This score of 65 is similar to the mentality of most young people. They can think calmly without severe interference.
You can stay calm even under a little pressure to ensure that your mentality is not unbalanced.
But when the pressure is high, it is easy to have a mental breakdown and make mistakes.
Unfortunately, Qin Miao felt tremendous pressure from behind.
Therefore, Qin Miao also made unexpected and reasonable mistakes, and they were relatively low-level mistakes.
From what Qin Miao learned, this year's Ferrari team's concept of building cars is low resistance and high speed. Unlike Mercedes' F1 car, the T9 at Silverstone can pass at full throttle.
Although the Ferrari's resistance is not so low that it requires braking to negotiate this corner, it still has to ease off the accelerator a little.
However, Qin Miao, who was under tremendous pressure, released the accelerator a little late in this corner, and therefore went a little wider. Qin Miao had to apply the brakes to stabilize the front of the car.
Because of this small mistake, Qin Miao lost at least one second.
Qin Miao, who could have won as long as he drove calmly, now had to face the attack of the Ferrari behind him.
The car behind naturally discovered Qin Miao's mistake. After all, the distance between the two cars was gradually approaching. Qin Miao's mistake was at the end of the straight. Qin Miao's taillights could still be seen. of.
In fact, the guard driver felt that Qin Miao was still capable. After all, most people would catch up with him after three or four laps.
But Qin Miao was different. If Qin Miao didn't make mistakes, he really wouldn't be able to catch up before five laps were completed.
But now it seems that Qin Miao is indeed capable, but his mentality is not good enough. He made mistakes after applying a little pressure.
On the last lap, the gap between the two cars came to two seconds.
This is also the lap where the defending driver is really motivated to kill.
T1 and T2 are two false corners. Qin Miao maintained the same distance from the car behind him. After T3, Qin Miao braked normally and entered the corner. The braking point of the car behind him was the same as Qin Miao's, but for some reason, he entered the corner. In the distance from T3 to T4, the car behind can erase Qin Miao's 0.2 second advantage.
After exiting T4, go through the T5 false curve and come to the DRS area between T5 and T6.
Since the opponent did not catch up with Qin Miao when passing the DRS monitoring point, the opponent did not have DRS at this position, but the distance of 1.8 seconds was enough for the opponent to slightly catch up with Qin Miao's wake, plus when he came out of T4 He also had a faster tail speed than Qin Miao, so after DRS finished running on the straight, the opponent lost another 0.2 seconds to Qin Miao.
So when the two cars entered T6, Qin Miao discovered with some tingling that the gap between the opponent and him was only 1.6 seconds.
In the combination of T6 and T7, Qin Miao felt that there was really nothing wrong with him, but the opponent could easily smooth out the speed gap between the two cars in this relatively basic corner, and the speed gap between the two cars was gone by 0.2 seconds.
Before Qin Miao knew it, the clothes behind him were wet with sweat, and there was a slight sweat on his forehead.
However, after exiting T7, it is the fastest corner in Silverstone. Qin Miao feels that he can breathe a sigh of relief anyway. After all, there is no DRS on this straight.
This was indeed the case in the early stage. The car behind only caught a little bit of Qin Miao's wake and could not lose much time on the straight between T8 and T9. However, a T9 opponent directly chased Qin Miao for 0.2 seconds.
The opponent's approaching speed scared Qin Miao into a cold sweat and made him confused. Qin Miao even doubted whether he and the opponent were driving the same car.
How could he lose 0.2 seconds of himself in the high-speed corner T9? Why should he?
While they were busy waiting for Qin Miao to figure out the reason, the two cars came to the combined turns T10~T14 one after another. In these turns, Qin Miao was unsurprisingly lost by the opponent by 0.3 seconds.
Now the opponent has caught up to one second behind Qin Miao. The good news is that the opponent did not catch up to Qin Miao within one second behind the DRS area monitoring point between T10 and T11, so the opponent in the DRS area behind T14 There is no way to turn on DRS.
The bad news is: the opponent has entered Qin Miao's wake area and can easily absorb Qin Miao's wake, and his exit speed is faster than Qin Miao's.
However, what made Qin Miao slightly relieved was that before reaching T15, the opponent had not yet been able to tap.
The wake is indeed a good thing, but without DRS, it is still difficult for two F1 cars with the same performance to overtake each other.
Therefore, both sides of the T15 can corner normally without incident.
Since T15 is indeed not difficult, Qin Miao not only was not chased by the opponent in this corner, but also bought himself 0.2 seconds of breathing space.
But Qin Miao knew that what he needed to face next was the real test.
If he can hold on to the three corners from T16 to T18, he will be the champion of this small competition. If he doesn't hold on, the first five laps will be in vain.
In the straight between T15 and T16, the opponent is still using the wake to speed up, but with the previous foundation, the defending driver has enough speed before entering T16.
Qin Miao had already had psychological expectations this time, and had already firmly guarded the inside line before the opponent made a move.
At this time, someone may ask: Although Silverstone's T16 is a left-hand corner, the T17 and T18 after T16 are right-hand turns. It is advantageous to hold the inside line at this time, but the wheel-to-wheel after entering the corner , Qin Miao couldn't be captured on the spot by this charioteer?
This statement is indeed true, but what if Qin Miao never thought about entering a wheel-to-wheel session with the opponent?
Qin Miao, who was stuck on the inside line, completely placed his car in the center of the track before entering T16, while the opponent's car was at the outermost normal position.
If the script develops normally, both of them should brake normally, and Qin Miao might brake later to deliberately block the opponent's route.
But Qin Miao didn't. He deliberately forced the opponent's position to the right before entering the braking point.
While carrying out this pressing operation, Qin Miao was instantly blessed. When defending to the right, there was no more, no less, leaving only one body space for the opponent.
On the one hand, Qin Miao made this move to prepare for more track width to slow down and enter the corner. Before making this move, he had always stayed in the middle of the track and did not cross the line, so it was not considered a dragon defense.
Another reason is that doing so can compress the space of the car behind you to a certain extent and affect the rhythm and speed of the car behind you.
Because of Qin Miao's sudden operation, the other party had no choice but to slow down.
Qin Miao's operation was also successful. Originally, it was wheel-to-wheel in the curve. In the two subsequent right turns, the defending driver relied on the advantage of the curve to overpower Qin Miao. He did not expect that Qin Miao would suddenly pressure him.
He subconsciously eased off the accelerator a little and stepped on the brakes for half a second longer.
It wasn't until Qin Miao's car turned left that the fuel supply started again.
In fact, half a second of braking is not long, and the speed lost is not much.
But both parties are driving F1 cars after all, and 0.5 seconds can determine the outcome of a race for an F1 driver.
Just when Qin Miao thought he could breathe a sigh of relief and win the race directly, the opponent actually caught up with him again in the last two corners and sucked into Qin Miao's wake when exiting the corner.
The most important thing is that he drew his head again and prepared to attack Qin Miao.
Seeing this scene, Qin Miao really admired the opponent. Not to mention his strength, he would not give up easily even in the final stage.
It's a pity that the starting straight is too short. Even if the opponent caught Qin Miao's wake, he was unable to surpass Qin Miao in the end without DRS and a sufficient straight.
As two Ferrari SF90s crossed the line one after another, F1's exclusive BGM "Formula 1 Theme" also sounded in Qin Miao's headphones.
The P1 prompt appeared on Qin Miao's monitor.
This means that Qin Miao won the championship.
It can be said that Qin Miao's victory in this game mainly relied on his 79-point defensive ability. If there was not so much theoretical knowledge to support it, Qin Miao would never have imagined that he had used this kind of dirty, but it did not count. Foul defense.
After winning, Qin Miao smiled and raised his hands in the air and cheered.
In fact, Qin Miao is not such an unstable person, but the pressure placed on him by the defending driver is too great. After a sudden victory, the pressure exerted on Qin Miao by the opponent during the game became Qin Miao's. Feeling refreshed, naturally it becomes a little harder to control myself.
Qiu Meng, who had been observing behind Qin Miao, breathed a sigh of relief when she discovered that Qin Miao finally won. She happily hugged Qin Miao's neck and was happy for him.
"Congratulations on winning this competition. Your driving skills are very good."
Suddenly, the ring guard sitting next to Qin Miao took off his helmet and extended his hand to Qin Miao again.
At this moment, the whole room was quiet.
Qin Miao looked at him in confusion. He saw that the defending driver was wearing a Ferrari team uniform. He had slightly curly brown hair, a thick neck, brown eyes, and a handsome face.
Qin Miao was also stunned.
"Leclerc?"
I really like what CSGO players often say: "Huh?"
