Chapter 149 Stage Eight
Ye Ling, during the Dakar Rally, of course he didn't know what happened to the outside world, and he didn't know that there was an article that had such a big impact on the outside world.

The eighth stage of the competition is about to start.

Ye Ling has been in a state of decline for two consecutive stages of the game. Although you can't worry about your gains and losses in a rally game, this is a game after all. Ye Ling doesn't want to let himself continue in this state.

Saturday, February 2013, 1.

Stage [-]: SALTA (Salta)-SAN MIGUEL DE TUCUMáN (Turkmenistan)

Driving section: 247 kilometers for motorcycle quad bike group; 379 kilometers for car group; 393 kilometers for truck group.

Stage: motorcycle quad bike group 491KM; car group 470KM; truck group: 155 km.

The theme word of this track is: "The long-lost rest day".

On the way to TUCUMáN, this stage will be divided into two timing areas, and the scenery along the way is also colorful and each has its own advantages.

Stone forest (also known as odd-shaped rock, a kind of weathered rock), canyons, cacti, racers will be intoxicated by the most beautiful natural scenery in the "west" of Argentina that stretches for 150 kilometers under the red and green curtain.

The second timed section will take place in an area that Dakar has never been through. It is obviously different from the first half. This is a sandy section, and some sections may be quite tricky and difficult to deal with.If we happen to have a hot and windy day that is very damaging to the region, we may also be affected by this weather condition.

Rest days have never been more sought after by everyone, especially those motorcyclists who have just completed a marathon stage, and they deserve it.

In this stage, too much is owed to you, and the environment that has never been encountered in the competition is about to be in front of the drivers.

The torrent meets unexpectedly.

For this stage, in this stage, the organizer dispatched more helicopters.

Because in this stage, this kind of plant is easy to fall into the torrent, the engine is flooded from time to time, and it is very common for the car to get stuck in the crevice of the stone.

The drivers are about to face new challenges.

A bumpy track, mud and water slapping on the glass, blocking the driver's way forward, are all things to consider.

In the first eight days of desert assault, the racing car went through constant groping and impact, and the fatigue and damage of the racing car would also increase.

The later the race, the mentality of the racing drivers will also have some adjustments.

Ye Ling and his team made waterproof preparations for the engine before embarking on the journey.

In fact, the engine water intake is not a big problem for the Mercedes-Benz G-Class, because the Mercedes-Benz G-Class has a higher chassis than other off-road vehicles, and the possibility of engine water intake is lower.

However, just to be on the safe side, Ye Ling still made waterproof measures for Convenience One.

And there is another unexpected situation in today's game, that is, it rained heavily last night.

There was more water in the channel, and it almost became a flood.

So this morning, the first organizing committee announced the cancellation of the first part of the special track.

Compared with the desert road, the drivers still prefer this torrent stage.

After all, advancing in the desert, the temperature is too high.

In the torrent stage, the physical damage of the riders will not be so great.

But if you think this track is easier, you are wrong.

Due to the performance problems of off-road vehicles, many racing cars may perform well in the desert, but they are not suitable for advancing in the torrent at all.

Like some racing cars with better endurance, the chassis is relatively low, and the body has more contact with water, so it will suffer greater resistance in torrents and consume more horsepower.

However, for some racing cars with good endurance, the horsepower of the racing car is often relatively poor. Not only is it difficult for the racing car with poor horsepower to overcome the resistance of the water, there will be some rocky beaches under the torrent. It also requires more horsepower to pass through the bumpy road sections of these rocky beaches. .

Torrents, rocks.

These are the polar off-road sections in this stage.

And in this road section, it is more to test the polar off-road performance of the car.

In this stage, some cars with good endurance do not have much advantage.

On the contrary, some off-road vehicles with extreme off-road performance will perform better.

Coincidentally, Ye Ling's car gained some advantages in this stage.

Ye Ling's car encountered such a stage, it was like a warrior with chicken blood, very excited and omnipotent, when some rocks stuck the car on the road ahead, the Mercedes-Benz G-Class stored up enough horsepower and went straight away. Can rush over.

Showing his kingly demeanor, it is like a lion king.

The performance of the Mercedes-Benz G-Class in this stage is perfect. Ye Ling's driving experience is also unprecedented, and he has also experienced the positive power of Mercedes-Benz.

Who Said Pole Off-Road Buggies Are Not Suitable For The Dakar Rally?

Ye Ling was the first to disagree.

The Mercedes-Benz G-Class driven by Ye Ling is far ahead in this stage, almost unstoppable.

In the end Ye Ling finished the race in the shortest time.

(1:13 a.m. on January 5, BJ time) The Dakar Rally ended the competition for the eighth stage.

The organizing committee terminated the competition that day due to bad weather, but did not indicate how the results will be calculated after the termination of the competition.

The eighth stage is divided into two timing areas. On that day, due to the rain, some roads in the first timing area became rivers, which forced the start of the race to be postponed. After some drivers finished the race, the rain area in the second timing area expanded, and the organizing committee terminated it due to safety considerations. game of the day.

Judging from the current information released in Dakar, the top seven in the car group are Ye Ling, Chilet, Terra Nova, Gordon, Chaveni, Peter Hansel and Rome.

It may be due to racing, the Chinese teams and drivers performed very well.

When the Dakar Organizing Committee announced the termination of the competition, the two drivers of the Haval Dakar Team, Sousa and Zhou Yong, ranked 14th and 19th respectively. notify.Although short-term adjustments can be made after the termination of the race, the Haval Dakar team did not relax and carried out a detailed inspection of the two Dakar racing cars in the rain. Sousa and Zhou Yong said: I am very grateful to the hard-working support team behind.

Sousa once said: "As a driver, I feel a great responsibility. We drive in front, and there are many behind-the-scenes staff behind us. They all work very hard, so we are not only racing for ourselves, but also for the whole team." From this point of view, Dakar is also a war for every team.

This year, besides two racing cars, the Haval Dakar team has also prepared a T4 track rescue truck, three T5 logistics trucks, a news vehicle, and a logistics work vehicle. At the same time, it is equipped with a maintenance support team of 17 people. To ensure the smooth completion of this Dakar, the Haval Dakar team has made sufficient preparations.
