The Ring of Truth

An Feng took some time to match the two tiger transformation potions. After repeated testing several times, he performed the first phase of injection. Since there had been successful cases before, this time he was familiar with the process. He went to observe four hours after the injection, and nothing happened. Anything unusual, progressing well.

  After the inspection, An Feng grabbed a cat with one hand and got off the plane with his arms crossed.

A two-month-old tiger is no different from a kitten. Animals are cute when they are young, even ferocious beasts are no exception. Two kittens are playing in its arms, climbing up and down its feet, and the helicopter landed on the On the lawn of the manor, An Feng jumped off the plane and put the two guys on the ground.

  After they landed, they started making noises, and Xiaobai also ran over when he heard the movement. With the previous reminder, he was still friendly to these two little ones, at least he would not sneak a bite. The two guys were also bold, they stopped fighting as soon as Xiaobai appeared, and shifted their targets to him.

   "It's so cute!" Joanna walked slowly with her belly out, followed by a maid.

   "Yes, small animals are always cute." An Feng squatted down to tease the two guys, and they opened their mouths to bite An Feng's fingers.

   "I really want to hug you." Joanna's voice softened.

   "Let's talk about it later, you are pregnant now." An Feng hesitated. He didn't know whether pregnant women should touch tigers... This seems to be a rare precedent.

   "They will grow up in the future, how can they be hugged." Joanna said so, but she didn't want to hug the two cubs willfully.

  An Feng teased the tiger, and walked around with her. When he was tired, he sat on a bench by the lake and basked in the sun. The two little ones also came and played nearby. Xiaobai lay down on the ground, stretched out his front paws, stared at the two little things with big eyes, and the nearby hunting dogs also came to play.

   Take a look at these funny animals together, and the time will pass slowly.

   To the beginning of October, approaching the day of departure.

   During this time, when Kelly came to accompany Joanna, An Feng had three or four days of vacation, and some Maserati employees took off on a private jet.

  The destination is Frankfurt, Germany, but the place is only a transit station. After getting off the bus, I didn't stop there. I took the shuttle bus to the Nürburgring, more than 100 kilometers north of Frankfurt. Germany in October is not an ideal tourist season, and the weather has turned cold, so I can only see the city in the car.

   After leaving the city, enter the high speed, and then turn on the high speed mode.

An Feng was riding in a Mercedes-Benz E-class car. The driver was an old driver with a little white hair. He drove very steadily in the urban area, and gave priority to avoiding pedestrians. The speed of the car became soaring, with an average of about 160 in the whole journey.

When it was fast, An Feng saw that the dashboard had already reached a speed of 180, but he was stunned to let a small truck overtake it. I will not talk about other luxury cars, sports cars, etc., but the small truck also abused them, and followed Another big truck abused them one after another, and the world went crazy.

   Calculated, the driver is relatively stable, and the fastest overtaking is 210.

  There is no speed limit on most sections of the German highway, but its accident rate is much lower than that of other countries' highways. You have to accept that this is not only a law, but also a manifestation of quality. Most cars on the road are like this. Overtaking uses the overtaking lane. After passing, they change lanes and do not occupy them for a long time.

  So it took about 40 minutes to drive more than 100 kilometers.

  Nurburgring is not surrounded by big cities, but it is a holy place for racing, a place that fans all over the world yearn for. After arriving at the local area, I stayed in the hotel next to the track. The hotel room can overlook the motorcycle race held in the South Ring Road. I heard that it is a practice race, and the sound of the engine keeps roaring.

The south ring of the Nürburgring is the F1 track, which is four to five kilometers long, while the north ring known as the "Ring of Truth" is more than 20 kilometers long and is called the "Green Hell". The track is zoomed in. Therefore, the lap times here have always been recognized as a high-performance car.

  An Feng had already rested on the plane. After arriving at the hotel and putting down his things, he didn't rest. Like other car fans who yearn for the Holy Land, he couldn't wait to see the true face of New North. He set off with several members of the car factory, and the standard equipment was Maserati's GT sports car, gasoline version.

The gate of the Nordschleife is very low-key, but the surrounding area is full of racing atmosphere. Before entering the racetrack, you need to buy a ticket and check the vehicle. The fare is also cheap, 27 Euros for one lap, 100 Euros for 4 laps, 1600 for the year without a car It doesn't matter, there are a lot of car rental companies nearby, and Porsche can be rented.

  Before going on the track, An Feng was the co-pilot.

The coach responsible for the driving explanation claims to do 300 laps in half a year. He is a professional driver. Now he is a tour guide and a racing coach. He has to run an average of 600 laps on the North Ring Road a year. He has rich experience and can be said to be able to run with his eyes closed. The whole process is awesome, and the explanations are also in place.

  To be honest, for first-time tourists, the track with a length of more than 20 kilometers usually remembers the back and forgets the front. After running a lap, they basically don't remember anything. But when the coach specifically asked An Feng how he felt, he actually said all the key points just now.

   Those who didn't know An Feng's background were shocked.

  Remember again, is this still a human? Those who were familiar with An Feng were also a little surprised, but considering his status as a first-class driver, it was not too surprising. After getting acquainted with him for a while, An Feng switched to the passenger seat and ran five laps in a row. There are other vehicles on the track, and the performance of the models varies widely.

After An Feng ran for a few laps, he felt that he was really cruel. The sports car meandered forward on the plateau. The track was undulating with the mountains. The vertical drop of the road surface was as high as 300 meters, and there were as many as 177 corners. , running at high speed non-stop, and the road conditions are also complex and changeable.

   A few years ago, there was a popular saying, what is a supercar? Accelerate from 100 kilometers in 5 seconds? Speed ​​up to three hundred?

   No, New North ran within eight minutes!

Well-known supercars such as Ferrari ENZO, Lamborghini LP700, and Pagani Zonda-F all have a time of about 7 minutes and 24 seconds. With the improvement of car performance in recent years, the standard for eight-point heroes has increased, but they can run seven minutes and 24 seconds. Less than half a point is still the top.

   While resting in the starting area, An Feng asked the engineer: "What is the ideal fastest time for Esplosione?"

  The engineer said simply: "Within 6 minutes and 50 seconds."

  An Feng is not surprised, because it is really strong: "What is the fastest running so far?"

  The engineer said: "6 minutes and 49 seconds, has not yet been officially certified. After the racer's condition is adjusted, it should be improved by a second or two."

   "Very good!" An Feng said, if it can be improved by two seconds, it will break the fastest record of mass-produced cars and secure the first place.

  As for non-mass-produced cars, this is not considered. What is the difference between a racing car and a road car?

  …

  The next day An Feng also drove one of the Esplosiones, and followed the open practice in the morning.

  Currently, there are two supercars, and originally planned to use only one for testing, but because An Feng's No. 2 car followed closely behind, and he was interested in testing, the manufacturer seized the time to build two. Anfeng is currently the fastest car owner to get Esplosione besides the official one.

Because of the emergence of the top-level electric supercar, it has attracted the attention of many people. The New North is still open in the morning, and Maserati will reserve the venue in the afternoon for the racing drivers to practice. They will continue to practice tomorrow morning and officially set the record in the afternoon. One place won.

Esplosione is not only the crystallization of Maserati's research and development, but also the embodiment of the technology of Angle Industries and GP. During the research and development of models, high-tech materials and supercomputers are used. It requires almost every detail accurately and strives for perfection. New North is the name holy place.

Many people came to watch the practice in the morning. The field was reserved in the afternoon, and other cars could not get on it. The racer and An Feng's car ran on it. An Feng planned to spend the whole day here, and he himself did not speak German. , There is no girl to accompany me on the street, so going out is no fun.

   After the practice in the afternoon, Maserati's focus is on adjustments.

Because...you have to admire the ability of some people to cheat. The queen racing driver has run the North Ring no less than a thousand times, and he has memorized all the details. The fastest lap can run to 6 minutes and 47 seconds, but he only ran more than 30 laps The An Feng, just got a score of 6 minutes and 46 seconds, which really scared everyone!

   Then Maserati considered what the boss had thought a long time ago: he ran a lap himself.

Continue to practice the next morning. At noon, after discussing with An Feng, the high-level officials allowed the addition of racers. Anyway, it is not bad to record one. An Feng is also willing to participate. It would be nice to run a lap and leave a record. One thing, although everyone generally only remembers the model.

  In the afternoon, he put on a full racing suit and went into battle.

The starting direction of New North is clockwise. First of all, there are a series of cruel curves. The track is surrounded by green, and it is always in a state of ups and downs, swinging from side to side. The whole process cannot be effectively monitored, and it can only be called after the game. With the car recorder, An Feng was absorbed in racing on the track.

   Maserati employees and other onlookers at the terminal are also looking forward to it.

  Six minutes have passed, whether a new record is born or not depends on the next forty seconds.

An Feng ran through most of the corners smoothly. After passing through a few particularly uncomfortable high-speed corners, he was greeted by a nearly three-kilometer straight road. When he exited the corner, he used KERS. Just step on the switch at the next time and stay in a daze for a while.

An Feng didn't dare to be in a daze. He stared at the speed of the sports car. It was already 340, and it reached 345 in the blink of an eye. If he worked harder, he broke through the 350 mark. The scene in front of him was already blurry. Slow down, but there is still a distance.

   Didn't stop after breaking through 350, when 352...354 reached 355, waved the flag and crossed the line! He immediately released the switch, the speed of the car slowed down, and at the same time cheers came from the radio, and a shocking number rang the bell of a new record: 6 minutes and 45 seconds!

  An Feng set a new record with an absolute advantage!

Afterwards, there was no need for another driver to go up and run. His best state was only 6 minutes and 47 seconds. God knows how An Feng ran, but it doesn't matter. Esplosione has set a lap record for production cars and won the Authoritative certification for the highest speed on the Nurburg Straight.
