Godly Fisherman

The most watched sport in Stars and Stripes is NASCAR racing. Even the favorite rugby sport of Stars can't match.

When I arrived at the Stars and Stripes Congress, I found that motorsport was really integrated into the souls of the Stars and Stripes. I felt that all the Stars and Stripes were talking about sports all the time, and the most common thing to talk about was motor sports.

People in Stars and Stripes don’t take the usual way when they play racing. What they like is simple and rough, how to stimulate it!

For example, it is also used as a formula car. On the surface, the Indian formula racing car that the Stars and Stripes likes is similar to the F1 car body design, but it is larger than the F1 car with high-tech starter technology. Stronger horsepower! And you can't use electronic auxiliary devices at all, how come the original ecology! Similarly, the same is true for NASCAR racing, etc., which are not allowed to use electronic aids. People here like simple, rough and wild types.

Of course, it is also because the racing industry in Stars and Stripes is too developed, so it has a close relationship with the gaming industry. Betting on racing here is as convenient as buying lottery tickets in China. So Xiao Peng suspected that Di Wei let himself go to the New York circuit to play racing because he was betting money.

Di Wei walked out with the phone, and walked back after a while: "Brother Peng, get it done! Let's go. By the way, I have a question I want to ask you."

Xiao Peng is in a good mood now: "You can ask."

Di Wei said: "Well, I heard that you often gamble with people, you gamble on stone and boxing, and go to the casino. And you just gambled with Troy, why don't you let others gamble? ?"

"..." Xiao Peng slapped Wen Jie on the head again.

Di Wei looked aggrieved: "Brother Peng, why are you hitting me this time?"

Xiao Peng replied with a cold face: "You know too much..."

Di Wei drove, and the two came to the Brooklyn Cruise Terminal, which has been separated from each other. It is an urban circuit like the Monaco circuit in F1. Usually this is a car road, but when it comes to races, it becomes a racing track.

Because it is an urban track, it is not long here. It is only 2.4 kilometers in a lap, and the difficulty is not high. There are only 14 corners. In addition to the two 180-degree hairpin turns, there are two right-angle turns. The rest are small corners.

But I have to say that the scenery here is really good, most of the tracks are planned along the coast, and the Statue of Liberty can be seen on the track. The fly in the ointment is that there is a container terminal next to it, and the gantry cranes are always working and making a lot of noise, which is quite disastrous. . . . . .

The day Xiao Peng and the others came was not the race day, but the open day of the track. To put it bluntly, it was a carnival that made tourists money. Tourists could spend some money and drive their cars around the track to feel the atmosphere. Of course, you can also experience the speed and passion here in a car driven by a professional driver; you can even compete with a professional driver on the simulator! All in all, this is a festival for car fans.

When Xiao Peng arrived here, he bought a black and yellow hat and put it on his head. Di Wei puzzled: "Brother Peng, this hat doesn't look good! Why did you buy such a thing?"

Xiao Peng gave him a white look: "You know what a shit, my name is to support the China Racing Team. This is the hat of the Tilin Team. Even though the Tilin Team is only a small team in Formula E, the results are actually really good. Last year Both drivers at the New York station stood on the podium. If I see Jean-Eric Pooh and Ma Qinghua, I must have them sign me."

Di Wei retorted: "What makes me know what a fart, Brother Peng, I am a racing fan, but I often go to Vegas to watch racing. Ma Qinghua, I know, at that time, our Chinese were very excited when we learned about him. But then no one was seen, so I used to participate in Formula E here."

Speaking of which, although many fans are cold-eyed at Ma Qinghua, it is undeniable that this is one of the best drivers in the China Motorsport circle, er, one of the drivers with the worst luck.

He had the opportunity to become China’s first F1 driver, and even signed a contract with the Spanish HRT team as an official driver. As a result, the HRT team was disbanded before the race. Later, he participated in the World Touring Car Championship and often performed well after joining the Citroen team. He often climbed on the podium and won the championship, but did not get the long-term appointment; later he had the opportunity to participate in the World Rally Championship Imperial Metro Station, but the race was cancelled by the FIA, and his rally dream was also Then fell through. He is now the third driver of the Tilin team and has few opportunities to play. This is also related to his state. He participated in many electric rally championships, but did not get a single point. However, he had the opportunity to play at the New York station. I hope he can have good luck. . . . . . (To be a digression, I sincerely blessed Ma Qinghua when I wrote this content. In the end, although he finished the game, he still didn't get points... Let's keep going.)

The two came to the carnival, which is not the usual lively. Some people are taking photos with the drivers one-to-one models. Of course, more photos are with the **** racing girls. There is also a row of racing simulators inside, and many people are waiting in line for the experience.

Xiao Peng blinked: "Hey, why are the four above them empty?" He found that there were four simulators empty and no one was playing.

Di Wei looked at it: "It's a professional simulator in Cruden, the Netherlands, and one of the most expensive racing simulators. Such a machine costs 180,000 US dollars, which is exhibited by the manufacturer. Because It’s too expensive, so it’s not free. You need to pay to play that. You know, the economy is not so good now, so there are fewer people playing it."

Xiao Peng smiled and said: "Go, let's play that. Let's also experience what it feels like to be the most expensive racing simulator in the world."

Di Wei ran over and said, "I will contact the staff now."

When Di Wei contacted the staff, Xiao Peng also watched the racing simulator up close. It was $180,000! This money can buy a Porsche 911 and drive it for fun.

While Di Wei went to find the staff, Xiao Peng took a closer look at the racing simulator. I have to say that this thing is really awesome. It uses a high imitation car body made of glass composite material and carbon fiber; a real formula. Style carbon fiber steering wheel; professional high-torque steering system; equipped with ultra-thin seamless display system; motion acceleration of up to 1.5G; what push back feeling, centrifugal force design silky buttons, up to 24 machines can be networked for real-time competition! This Nima is no different from driving a real car!

If the only shortcoming is the simulation track made by the CG technology displayed in the display system, it would be perfect if it was a real track.

Well, the price is a bit expensive, but it's really worth the money - at least you don't have to worry about crashing this one.

When Di Wei found a working employee, Xiao Peng was even more lamented that these people would make money: five hundred dollars for an hour, no wonder no one queued up here, the price is really not cheap.

The first time Xiao Peng got into the simulator, he considered whether he should buy two sets and play with Qianliyan: it's so realistic! Including the wind pressure thrust, the design is considerate. It really feels like driving a real car. . . . . .

But as soon as Xiao Peng sat in, he was dumbfounded: this thing. . . . . . How to drive?

Since it is a high-precision simulation of a formula car, the steering wheel is exactly the same as the formula car steering wheel. Xiao Peng looked at the steering wheel with a dazed expression.

Di Wei asked curiously: "Brother Peng, you should try it."

"Open? I rely on, you said it is light, now you can't drive with a formula in front of you, okay? What do so many buttons do?" There are two kinds of buttons on this formula steering wheel. more than ten!

The staff of Cruden's company came over and explained to Xiao Peng the function of the buttons on the steering wheel. This guy may have done it deliberately. After a quick talk, he ran aside to watch the excitement.

He has seen too many people like Xiao Peng, chanting slogans one by one that he is the best racer in the world, but he couldn't even get the steering wheel in a formula car.

Regardless of whether these formula cars are Formula 1 or Formula E, they are all high-tech products. In order to facilitate the driver's operation, almost all functions are on the steering wheel!

This is not only a simple paddle shifter, but also includes a cornering differential, a cornering differential, a bending center differential, a high-speed differential, an overtaking device that increases instant power output, and brake balance adjustment Wait, wait, the LCD screen in the middle of the steering wheel is showing data such as tire pressure, temperature, ground temperature, number of laps, etc. No wonder these professional racing cars can drive so fast, that is to the extreme!

Xiao Peng smiled and said: "I finally know why the Stars and Stripes are both a'country on wheels' and also a'Grave of F1'. It is so troublesome to drive a car? No wonder this Stars and Stripes country likes racing so much but can't make it F1 racer. With the IQ of the Stars and Stripes, I really can't play this stuff. I'm afraid I can't even remember the functions of these buttons."

Di Wei blinked: "Brother Peng, then did you remember? That guy said just too fast!"

Xiao Peng grumbled: "Crap, can't I remember? Come, let's watch me run around!" After speaking, he put on his helmet and directly pressed the start button.

Just as Xiao Peng was about to start the car, a row of English suddenly appeared on the LCD screen: "A new challenger has appeared."

Xiao Peng blinked. This is really like a video game. Can someone challenge it?

He tilted his head and saw that on a simulator not far away, a man wearing a helmet was sitting in the simulator.

Di Wei glanced at him and curled his lips: "Cut", a woman still wants to beat my brother Peng? Are you kidding me? "

Xiao Peng was taken aback: "How do you know that you are a woman wearing a helmet?"

Di Wei smiled cheerfully: "Can a man's chest grow like that?"
