"Four-wheel drive cars rarely have oversteer problems, but if a rear-wheel drive car wants to corner by drifting, the suspension system of the front and rear axles must be upgraded. At the same time, the driver must also calculate various factors to maintain tracking when turning." Takeda Tetsuya sat in the passenger seat and puffed away his breath.

"This problem can be easily solved by adjusting the spring and damping coefficients, softening the rear suspension, reducing the compression ratio of the shock absorber's damping coefficient, improving ductility, reducing the rigidity of the rear balance bar, or increasing the There are often restrictions on the rear wheelbase in official competitions, but there are not so many restrictions in underground competitions.

"In addition, if you find spoilers after completing the configuration, you can consider increasing the angle. This can increase the downforce effect on the rear half of the car body. Of course, your top speed will also be sacrificed. In the end, there is no such thing as absolute perfection. Racing cars and modified racing cars are all about finding a balance between various performances..."

Zhang Heng silently memorized these words while driving. Ten minutes later, the two arrived at Tsukiji Fish Market. This was because Zhang Heng drove as slowly as possible.

As soon as l300 arrived at the gate of the fish market, Takeda Tetsuya immediately shut his mouth. This guy stuck to his previous agreement and was unwilling to say a word. He opened the door and jumped out of the car.

However, after taking two steps, the owner of the aquatic product store stopped for the first time, paused and said, "Come early this Sunday."

Zhang Heng raised his eyebrows. He realized that he might have triggered some new plot, because just four seconds ago, he received a new reminder that his car driving skills had increased from lv0 to lv1. At the same time, after a month Learning him also adds a lv0 skill of modification and repair.

So on the third night, after Zhang Heng and Ameko went shopping in Shinjuku, they took the bus directly to the fishery store, three hours earlier than usual. After seeing him, Takeda Tetsuya turned around and closed the store door, throwing the key in In his hand, "The store is closed for the day today."

"So where do we go next?"

"Seaside, I will teach you drifting from today on."

Zhang Heng was a little surprised. Although Takeda Tetsuya had been instructing him on how to race and taught him many techniques, he had never revealed his unique skills. Zhang Heng asked several times, but was always told by the latter: "You're still here" He was dismissed as not qualified, but this in itself was an obvious reminder that he needed to meet certain requirements first.

However, under normal circumstances, it is almost impossible for a novice like Zhang Heng to trigger the advanced conditions. He has been learning to drive for more than four months now, and has long passed the original task deadline, which he only just met yesterday.

Of course Zhang Heng would not let go of this precious opportunity. Who knows when this stingy Tetsuya Takeda would have changed his mind? If this guy hadn’t had the D1 Grand Prix Tokyo Station Chase Champion, he would have been the closest to the DK title. Man, he wants to consider changing his strategy, such as the mysterious senior in the racer seminar.

His attitude is very good. In order to benefit future generations and point the way for more people like him who are aspiring to become racing drivers, he does not hesitate to make his insights and experiences public for free.

Zhang Heng felt that if he worked hard, he might be able to get on this line. After all, compared to Tetsuya Takeda, the owner of a fish shop, his senior was a genuine racing driver, but after careful consideration, he gave up.

GT300 is a serious racing competition. The track and driving skill requirements are very different from underground modified car competitions. In terms of horsepower, GT300, as the name suggests, the upper limit of horsepower output is 300ps, while the only rule for underground modified car competitions is There are just no rules. No one cares what kind of car you drive or what technology you use. Whoever reaches the finish line first is the final winner. As long as you are brave enough, you can even compete with n20.

He has watched the senior's notes and videos more than once. The opponent's fierce running style is more suitable for professional tracks, and he is indeed not as good as Takeda Tetsuya, the former D1 Drift Grand Prix champion, in dealing with complex environments.

The owner of the aquatic product store took him to a nearly abandoned private dock, and used tire rings and cardboard boxes as obstacles to build a track.

“Drifting is a driving skill that involves deliberate oversteering to make the car slide sideways. Young people today always like to use drifting to show off their skills, but in fact drifting on normal roads will only cause a loss of speed and tire wear. One trick is designed to cope with complex road conditions.”

Zhang Heng looked at the densely packed cartons and tire rings in front of him, "Is it... a bit too complicated?"

"It's not complicated as long as someone can do it." Takeda Tetsuya said with great momentum that it was difficult to refute.

Zhang Heng originally thought that after this guy put down his rhetoric, he would come and demonstrate it in person. In the end, he only sent a demonstration video, and it looked like it was from a few years ago. After that, he took out the mazaar and fishing rod from the trunk.

"…………"

"Don't look at me. I swore that I would never hold a steering wheel again in this life, but don't worry, the obstacles I set for you are definitely not impossible to complete."

Takeda Tetsuya put the bait on the fishhook as he spoke. Zhang Heng quickly watched the video and found that he had wrongly blamed someone this time, probably to make up for the guilt of not being able to do it himself. This teaching video is unprecedentedly detailed. Except for the actual combat demonstration at the beginning that uses previous materials, the following parts are newly recorded by Tetsuya Takeda.

Zhang Heng looked at the thing in his hand seven times, and two of them were slow-playing frame by frame.

Then he stuffed his phone back into his pocket, got in the car and started practicing.

The result... was of course horrific. The pier was filled with the harsh sound of tires rubbing against the ground, and the cartons and tires were knocked around. Zhang Heng originally felt that his driving skills had improved significantly after this period of practice. , and even came up with the idea of ​​completing the main mission first without getting a car.

But the new training poured cold water on him. Although Takeda Tetsuya had never been very reliable, there was no need to deceive him on such a trivial matter. Since the guy said that the training could be completed, it proved that it was His own problem.

So until the sun rose from the sea level the next morning, Zhang Heng was still struggling with the pile of tire rings and cartons on the ground. The owner of the aquatic product store put away his fishing rod, stretched and glanced at someone, "In the future Delivery is as usual, you can come here to practice drifting in your extra time, so how much time you have to train depends entirely on you, but you can now try to modify this L300 by yourself, I will provide you with certain suggestions, but the parts You have to do it yourself.”
