Today is the most meaningful day to observe the ring tower on the spot. I talked a lot with the teachers of the Zhengzhou Nissan team, and I have a deeper understanding of the competition system and some conditions of the ring tower racing. I can proudly say that I am proud of the ring tower. I’m no longer a noob! Next, I will share the professional knowledge I have learned with you.
The ring tower race is different from track races and street races. It is really difficult to keep up with the distance of tens of hundreds of kilometers. Even if there are cars suitable for the race, they will not be allowed to enter the track. This is a rally race. Today’s race is about 100 kilometers away. The racers lined up to start in the morning, and we went straight to the collection point at noon to wait.
According to the news, a certain team broke down its car 57 kilometers away from the finish line. Let me explain the rules to you. If you can’t reach the collection point by the closing time, it will show 100+ on the report card. There will be a time penalty; however, if the on-site repair is made and the vehicle is returned to the collection point before the closing time, the score will be counted normally.
Based on this, it is said that more than one car broke down today, making it impossible to return. It is not known whether it will be dragged back or repaired on site~ What we can know is that the time penalty of 100+ has a great impact on the ranking of the entire race, but it will not It only affects subsequent games.
In addition, according to “Team Parents”, there are more novices participating in the Tournament Rally this year. In addition, this year’s difficulty is generally very high. It is possible for novices to fail to complete the overtime or even abandon the race.
In addition, there is a special situation, that is, for manufacturers with more difficult stages, they will choose to give up the stage to reduce the safety risks of vehicles and personnel, and use time penalties in exchange for the final finish. The “playstyle” of some OEMs.
Today, I will show you the situation of the car collection point. Let’s talk about the car collection point first. Before the two red flags, there are two yellow flags to remind the racers that this is the end of the stage. At the same time, the car’s satellite positioning system will also pass Reminder at the end. The next section of the road is reserved for drivers to slow down. At the finish line, a referee will wave a red flag to remind the racers to slow down.
At the flag-waving referee’s side, the navigator will get out of the car to register and receive the report card.
Because the camp is in the south of Aksu City, and the venue for today’s competition is in the valley and the Gobi Desert in the northern part of Aksu, so the drivers who finish the race will continue to drive back to the camp. There will be traffic police, assistants, and armed police at intervals along the way , Militia, etc. to maintain order. It can be seen that holding a competition still consumes a lot of manpower and material resources, but it can also increase a lot of local fiscal revenue and the income of the people.
In my impression, it is the only mini car on the field, and it is quite stylish, but the round one is not my style~~~ In addition, it starts at the front of the grid, so I have already finished running when I arrive.
Today’s pictures are all pictures of various cars. Let’s talk about Nissan’s situation first. All 4 cars in this stage finished the race, only one car’s rear bumper was damaged, and the rest were intact.
Because the results are recorded separately from the infinite modification group, the Navarra racing car is still very promising to compete for the championship in the group. In addition, this year’s driver lineup is strong, and the rhythm so far is very stable.
A total of 14 cars participated in the production car group, and the 4 cars of Zhengzhou Nissan Navara won the first, third, fourth and sixth places respectively! Should there be some applause here?
From far to near, the painting of the face is very eye-catching in the distance. You can always find a sense of déjà vu of Paladin fighting on the field.
The suspension of the Navara racing car uses 8 shock absorbers, which can maintain the stability of the vehicle well when running on bad roads for a long time. The AT tires also have good grip on gravel roads. A friend and I discussed the issue of tire selection yesterday.
I think MT tires are more wear-resistant, more puncture-resistant, and have better stone-repelling ability for bad roads. However, due to the particularity of the pattern, it is not suitable for complex road conditions such as the Ring Tower in many road conditions. The two powers harm each other, whichever is less suitable for tire selection~
Navarra’s drifting posture at this curve is particularly perfect, but only this one is the clearest after several consecutive shots, and the effect should still be visible.
Isuzu sent MUX and D-MAX racing cars to participate. For Zhengzhou Nissan, Isuzu should be regarded as a strong rival~ It is said that Isuzu also poached the champion driver of Zhengzhou Nissan last year with a high salary this year. It seems that there will be a “hard battle” this year. ~
This racing car uses Toyota Hilux, in fact, there is only part of the shadow of Hilux, and the chassis has also been redesigned~
Zotye Motors also came to participate, but apart from the front face, it seems that there is nothing Zotye has, right?
Let’s brainstorm about this car, let’s see what kind of prototype it is? I don’t have enough brain capacity~
Everyone is very familiar with this. The Hongqi racing car has appeared on the field many times, and it feels good to participate in the competition~
This car is still a Hilux racing car, from the Longxing team. The lineup of the Longxing team is very strong this year.
The Mitsubishi Pajero team’s racing car is based on the Pajero V9x. In fact, imported Mitsubishi still has a good reputation in the rally arena. However, in recent years, Pajero’s production has been reduced and discontinued, which has caused manufacturers to be less invested in the racing business. Maybe Pajero will fade out of people’s sight in the future.
This is my favorite racing car. Its width, color, and it can be called the most beautiful boy on the field. The prototype car is Nissan Patrol, and the rest is only the shape of the front of the car~
The utilization rate of the trunk of this steel tube racing car is very high, and it can effectively reduce its own weight. Weight is very important in rally competition. When the power cannot be further improved, weight reduction can bring better results to the car~
The prototype of Land Cruiser is LC200, but it is also modified and strengthened on the basis of LC200, and the overall suspension has not undergone qualitative changes.
The Patrol Y61 pickup racing car has appeared many times in this round of the tower, and it is also a car that individual drivers prefer to use. The front and rear hard bridges are durable, which is its biggest feature.
The 4.8L six-cylinder engine has sufficient power, and with proper weight reduction, it can achieve good results. On the first day of the starting ceremony, there was a Patrol Y61 racing car driven by two female drivers. I don’t know if it is this one~
Suzuki Super Vitara Racing.
I don’t know if the engine has been modified, but judging from the situation of turning over the sandy mountain yesterday, the power should be pretty good.
The following are the racing cars of the modification group, basically adopting the two-wheel drive structure of baja.
Don’t know what happened to it, there seems to be an accident on the right front that knocked off the light housing.
You can see a lot of racing cars drifting through this corner, and the attitude of this baja racing car is also very perfect. It is expected that the driver is a sweetheart!
For local tyrants in the modification group, it is definitely not cheap to buy a helicopter for aerial photography, and this red helicopter was also brought by a certain team for the whole aerial photography. This situation reminds me of Lin Zhendong in Feichi’s life.
Its cost is at least a few million more, but the exact amount is not clear~ Anyone know? Let me know~
guess who is this? Mr. Zhao Hongyi, the star driver of the motorcycle rally! My idol, he successfully completed the race on a KTM motorcycle. Not only did he successfully complete the race, but he also performed a little. so handsome!
It flew up, only because I used a telephoto lens and didn’t take a picture of the whole body~ But I can still see the lift off of the front wheels.
This is another driver of the Dakar team, the car is still KTM450RALLY
It can be seen that the racer finished the game calmly. One more thing, for a motorcycle, the same mileage as a car will consume a lot of physical strength. It’s okay if you don’t reverse the car. Once the physical exertion increases, many drivers will also retire due to lack of physical strength.
The two riders on the right side of the picture are Mr. Lu Jian, and they are in good condition. The two even shook hands in front of the camera! Are they going to cross the finish line hand in hand?
What kind of car is this race car? Looks a bit like a Ducati, not too sure. The drivers who are approaching the finish line will be so excited that they even forget the hardships along the way.
Finally, there are a few riders in the ATV and UTV groups. It is also difficult and necessary. Compared with UTVs, ATVs are more lonely, and motorcycles are more dangerous than ATVs. These drivers deserve our respect and admiration! As for the competition situation, the results have not yet been released as of press time.
But I feel that for me, the ranking is not so important. Perhaps appreciating the wonderful details of the event, experiencing the hard style of the event, and feeling the rallying life of the event are often much more important than the ranking! Is it right?
