There are only these few logos on the whole car. Compared with other F2 cars, Qin Miao's car is really spotless.
Somewhat excitedly, he reached out and touched the paint on his racing car. Feeling the smooth feel of the paint, Qin Miao couldn't help but feel excited.
Although Qin Miao has also driven F2, that car is not his after all. No matter how good his relationship with Zhou Guanyu is, Qin Miao would not dare to drive Zhou Guanyu's car and do whatever he wants on the track.
This can be regarded as one of the worries about not stepping on the accelerator, but the source of this worry is not money, but people.
But today is different from the past. The car in front of him belongs entirely to Qin Miao. Qin Miao even bought it with his own money. Moreover, Qin Miao's savings are enough for him to buy another seven or eight F2 cars like this. So Qin Miao on the track Miao dared to push this car to the limit without fear of collision.
The moment Qin Miao's hand touched the racing car, Qin Miao took a picture of the purple man-car integration skill and stuck it on the racing car in front of him.
Originally, in Qin Miao's eyes, this car was just a big toy full of unknowns and novelties to him.
But as soon as this skill card was used, Qin Miao instantly felt that the simple F2 car in front of him was full of intimacy.
And Qin Miao felt that after sitting in this car, the feeling of intimacy and familiarity would be stronger than the feeling now.
After feeling this way, Qin Miao couldn't wait to turn around and ask Luo Xin, who was looking at him with a smile on his face: "Sir, when can I try this car?"
Luo Xin was stunned for a moment when he heard Qin Miao's question.
Although he was very satisfied with Qin Miao's love for racing, he still poured cold water on Qin Miao with some embarrassment: "I'm afraid it won't work in the short term. This car has only just been in our hands for less than a week. , we have only carried out some basic inspections on it, and completed the installation of the customized monocoque, as well as the spraying of paint, system adaptation of the steering wheel, etc. As for the engine and vehicle computer, etc. I’m afraid it will take at least a week until the parts are inspected more carefully and in-depth.”
After using the purple man-car integration skill card, Qin Miao's familiarity with this car has reached its limit. Even without checking, he knows that there is nothing wrong with this car.
But before he could say anything, Luo Xin said: "I know you are in a hurry, and we also know that there cannot be any problems with the car that just came out of the manufacturer's factory.
But kid, you have to know that your life safety is more important than your temporary excitement. "
Qin Miao sighed with regret, but he was not an unreasonable person.
Although it was a pity that he could not sit in the monocoque and drive this car on the track, before leaving, Qin Miao still got into the driving seat that belonged only to him, started the engine, and felt the car. rhythm.
After getting out of the car, Qin Miao caught up with his crew members.
After all, they haven't seen each other for half a year, and both parties need to get familiar with each other again to regain the previous feeling.
The first day was quite leisurely. After seeing the racing car that she had longed for, Qin Miao returned home contentedly. She helped Qiu Meng complete the housework at home and cleaned most of the places.
It is a pity that Lubos was infected. Although he is no longer seriously injured, he is still lying in the hospital and cannot get out. Otherwise, it would be much easier for Qin Miao and Qiu Meng to have one more labor force.
On the second day, Qin Miao exercised in the morning and returned to the team in the afternoon to start adaptive training using the simulator in the team.
It is worth mentioning that the simulator used by Qin Miao in Prema is much more realistic than the simulator used by the Ferrari F1 team.
This is not Qin Miao's feeling, but Qin Miao's proficiency gained by the training system on Prema's simulator is much greater than that of training at Ferrari.
The reason is also very interesting. The Prema team bought the right to use the Ferrari team's simulator. In a sense, Qin Miao still uses Ferrari's simulator.
However, the Prema team's simulator eliminates the variables of vehicle upgrades and only needs to calculate the data of the F2 car and the track data. The load of the simulator is smaller, and there is less data to be simulated. The variables are naturally smaller, and the simulator is accurate. The level and degree of simulation are even higher.
However, the Prema team's simulator still has shortcomings, and that is the hardware shortcomings.
The Ferrari simulator uses the monocoque of the F1 car as the cockpit. When you sit in it, your perspective and posture are the same as sitting in a real F1 car.
And Qin Miao recently heard from the staff in charge of the simulator that they were planning to introduce VR glasses to further increase the simulator's realism.
Prema's simulator is the kind of simulator solution that is available on the market. Although it is expensive, the simulation effect is very good, but the sense of substitution is not as strong as the Ferrari F1 team's simulator.
After starting his normal work, Qin Miao spent nearly a week practicing on the simulator with the assistance of Franky and Sui Wentao, and tried to test various adjustments and settings on various tracks. , trying to find the most suitable training for Qin Miao's driving style.
To be honest, Qin Miao didn't like this step and thought it was useless, because the car he drove in the simulator was not the F2 car he was really familiar with, so the simulated data may have certain deviations, but okay The news is that practicing on the simulator can indeed increase Qin Miao's proficiency on the track.
This is also the main reason why Qin Miao persisted in training patiently for so long.
A week later, Prema's inspection of Qin Miao's car ended and there were no problems. There was not even a trace of rust on the car, which meant that Qin Miao could finally drive his car and race on the track.
Of course, in addition to Qin Miao's car completing the test, Qin Miao's teammate Mick Schumacher's car also completed the test today. The two cars will be loaded tomorrow and headed to the Fiorano track they are familiar with. Conduct pre-race testing.
From now on the comparison between the two Prema Team riders begins.
Although F2 is not like F1 where teammates are the biggest enemies, it is inevitable that two drivers on the same team will be compared subconsciously.
However, Qin Miao didn't think much of it. The next day, he took Qiu Meng back to Maranello on the team's truck used to transport the racing cars.
There was no time to go home and rest. After arriving in Maranello, Qin Miao unloaded his F2 car with his team's technicians, and then changed into his racing suit in the P room.
Qin Miao's racing suit is the same as his racing suit. There is no sponsor's logo on the surface and it is very clean.
As for the helmet, Qin Miao was wearing a helmet designed by Qiu Meng for Qin Miao. He still remembered that the design of this helmet was when the two of them were trapped in Maranello.
At that time, Qin Miao pestered Qiu Meng and wanted her to design a helmet for him, but Qiu Meng couldn't resist him, so she agreed.
Because what she ate that night was fish head with chopped peppers, Qiu Meng, who had been thinking about what design elements to use to make a helmet for Qin Miao, drew inspiration from this dish, so when Qiu Meng designed the helmet in front of the computer Just incorporate elements of this dish into it.
So today, Qin Miao had a cartoon version of a fish head on his head. The fish head was sprinkled with chili peppers, and there were white noodles in the red fish soup.
To be honest, when Qin Miao received this helmet, he regretted that he chose to let Qiu Meng customize the helmet for him.
Now that I'm wearing this helmet and sitting in the car... I regret it even more.
I feel like I have a plate of food on my head, as if I am saying that I have a lot of food...
Because the vehicle had already completed self-inspection at Prema, Sui Wentao and other engineers only conducted the most basic inspection of Qin Miao's car after arriving at the track.
After confirming that there was no problem, Qin Miao knew that he could drive onto the track under Franky's prompts.
However, Qin Miao was not in a hurry, but sat in the driver's seat and took several deep breaths.
Qin Miao did this to calm down his somewhat restless heart. Then he put the five fingers of his right hand together at a 45-degree angle and gently patted the flip-flops of the racing car to give his racing car a buff.
Although Qin Miao's system did not give him any hint of machine soul joy, Qin Miao, who had established a connection with his F2 car, clearly felt that after he went through this set of rituals, the car under him The condition is obviously different. Some undetectable metal fatigue, burrs and errors in parts have automatically disappeared. The entire car has reached its best condition at this time.
At the same time, Qin Miao is also equipped with three passive skills: [Strong Body (Blue)], [Guide of the Research Department (Purple)], and [The Best Pirelli Tire User (Purple)].
This set of skill configuration is what Qin Miao plans to use in the competition. During the test, he naturally took out this set of skills to see the effect.
After completing this ceremony, Qin Miao drove the car out of Room P.
This is the first time that Qin Miao is familiar with his F4 car on the track, and it is also the first time that he has officially cooperated with his team for training. He must be familiar with Franky's command and the rhythm of tire changing by the team's staff. .
There were many items that needed to be tested today, but Qin Miao was not in a hurry to start working.
He first ran two laps on the track, then returned to the P room, slightly increased the downforce, then drove onto the track, and then did a flying lap on the track with all his strength.
The final lap time was 1 minute 03.661.
Qin Miao feels that he still has room for improvement, but this room is not big. It can be improved by 0.2 to 0.5 seconds at most. Due to the natural limitations of F2, Qin Miao knows that it is impossible for him to use this car to reach the lap speed on this track. Within one second.
After getting over the addiction of driving an F2 car with all his strength, and feeling the huge downforce and G-force of the side box provided by the formula car, as well as the roar of the engine, Qin Miao could not wait to drive this car. The car goes to the track to compete with other F2 drivers.
However, Qin Miao did not forget the business of coming here today. After finishing his fun, he began to cooperate with Frankie's request and began to conduct tests on the track and collect various data.
After working hard all morning, Qin Miao drove the car back to Room P.
When Qin Miao unbuckled his seat belt, lifted his headrest, took off his helmet, and was about to ask where to eat at noon so that he could go home and get some chili sauce, Franky came to Qin Miao with a frown and a paper form. Next to Miao.
Sui Wentao, Alvin, and Steve began to inspect the machine system of Qin Miao's racing car.
Looking at Franky's face and the actions of the other three, Qin Miao roughly guessed what might be wrong with the test results of this competition.
"What's wrong?" Qin Miao asked curiously as he buckled the carbon fiber steering wheel, which fit his hand perfectly and was very comfortable to hold, back onto the car.
"There is a problem." Franky handed the file in his hand to Qin Miao and explained: "But there may be a problem with the telemetry system."
Qin Miao took the document curiously.
While Qin Miao was reading the file, French said: "After the morning test, we exchanged test data with the Mick crew. You know all the necessary procedures. By comparing the data between you two We found that the tire wear data of our car was a bit too abnormal. Did you deliberately protect the tires on the track just now?"
Qin Miao was a little distracted while looking at the data, so he did not analyze the meaning of Franky's words in detail. After hearing the other party's question, he answered directly: "No."
After hearing Qin Miao's answer, Frankie nodded and said, "There should be something wrong with the telemetry data."
During this time, Qin Miao also read the data given by Franky. After all, he has been working in this industry for almost a year. It can be said that Qin Miao is familiar with data.
The reason why Frankie and the others reacted so strongly was also found.
Data shows that Qin Miao's tire failure was at least 19% slower than Mick's during the test.
Even though this data does not reach the 30% reduction in tire wear described by Qin Miao's skills, this 19% loss reduction is still incredible.
Because there are really too many.
Because this number was extremely outrageous, Franky and the others thought there was something wrong with Qin Miao's vehicle telemetry system.
After all, Qin Miao's car and Mick's car are the same, they just have different tuning settings and different drivers.
There is no reason for these two differences to create such a large tire wear gap.
After testing now, Qin Miao's average lap speed is faster than Mick's, and his fuel consumption is less than Mick's. The most outrageous thing is that the tire wear is 19% less than Mick's.
Anyone who reads such outrageous data will subconsciously think that there is something wrong with the system's telemetry.
Unlike others, Qin Miao knew the specific reason why all this happened: his own system skills.
Moreover, Qin Miao also discovered the rules of his own system skills, that is, it depends on how he drives.
Because during today's test, Qin Miao maintained a relatively comfortable pace during the test for most of the time. There was no tire protection or advancement, so his tire loss was 19%.
Qin Miao believes that if he drives this car with the tires protected, the tire wear will definitely be reduced by 30% as stated by the system.
And if you push forward forcefully, the tire wear should be reduced by about 10% compared to normal wear.
Qin Miao and his team have not tested the specific number, but it should not be too different from Qin Miao's guess.
