"Damn, another vote, can't you just open a free one."
Seeing Shunzi open a paid vote, a few fans in the bullet comments were a bit unhappy. To vote, you had to brush gifts.
Shunzi was indeed a skilled streamer, but his fan base wasn't particularly large. To make a living, he naturally had to constantly monetize. Shunzi didn't pay attention to the comments and focused on preparing for the upcoming race.
Engaging the clutch, shifting into first gear, twisting the throttle, Lin Yan's virtual character in the game casually performed a standard drag start preparation. His feet braced against the ground, his body leaned forward over the fuel tank, his helmet tucked behind the windshield.
The engine roared to life.
As the five red lights extinguished, Lin Yan's Kawasaki H2 shot forward. Shunzi, who was ahead, also started at the same time. His bike was also a Kawasaki H2. This race was a battle between the Kawasaki H2s.
Lin Yan's drag start was excellent, even though he did it casually. However, a good start didn't mean his bike was faster.
A 600cc bike was about a second slower than a 1000cc bike in 0-100 acceleration. On the straight before the first corner, even with Lin Yan's throttle fully open, his bike was far behind the opponent's.
He was nearly two seconds behind on the straight, and with Su Mojin's previous second, it was a total of three seconds.
The difference in displacement on the straight left Lin Yan eating dust.
Shunzi wasn't surprised by Lin Yan falling behind. He smoothly applied the brakes on his controller, from heavy to light, performing a braking entry into the corner that looked extremely skillful to the audience.
It was cool, but in Lin Yan's eyes, it was no different from children playing with mud.
Talking on paper could never test a person's skill as well as actual combat.
Downshifting, braking, braking all the way to the limit. Compared to Shunzi's smooth corner entry, Lin Yan's braking was extremely aggressive. The entire bike vibrated violently under the braking force, with the rear wheel lifting off the ground. wΑp.kanshu伍.net
Unlike before, Lin Yan's corner entry method was completely different from when he was driving the factory bike. While braking hard, the bike immediately started to lean into the corner, and the leaning speed was even faster than when he was driving the factory bike.
"Damn, is this guy behind me a beginner? What's going on, braking recklessly because he can't stop?"
Someone in the bullet comments noticed Lin Yan's actions. Since they were using production bikes, there were rearview mirrors. It wasn't difficult to see Lin Yan's movements.
As the bullet comments noticed, Shunzi also saw it. Lin Yan's braking looked like a beginner who missed the braking point and braked desperately. The tail of the car swayed unstably. However, he was puzzled because he felt that the distance to the car behind him seemed to have closed a bit.
Was it an illusion? He quickly looked away, reminding himself not to get distracted during a race.
It was a bit closer, but it wasn't because Lin Yan's speed was faster. It was only the entry into the first corner, and even if Lin Yan was skilled, it was impossible to tell how fast he was. The reason Shunzi felt it was a bit closer was due to the difference in characteristics between the two bikes, which was the difference in displacement.
A 1000cc bike was faster on the straight, and relatively speaking, its exit speed was higher than Lin Yan's. A higher exit speed required a longer braking distance.
Under this effect, compared to a smaller displacement bike, a larger displacement bike needed to brake earlier, meaning it needed to brake first.
In addition, larger displacement bikes needed to reduce their speed to a certain level before entering the corner before leaning the bike and braking into the corner. This was something that many people, even streamers, would not do, even if they had to pay to learn.
As long as the game was realistic enough, professional drivers would be able to dominate.
At the fifth corner, Lin Yan easily overtook Shunzi by maintaining his cornering speed, without even needing to brake late, relying solely on his cornering speed.
