"In the first lap, Peco was the first to get a red card. The Ducati riders started to exert their strength one after another. Big E and Maverick couldn't keep up with the pace!"

Qualifying began, all drivers driving GP23 began to exert their strength, lap times began to increase, and they continuously attacked the positions of Xiao Niu and Da E.

In the first lap, the two of them fell out of the top five.

Qin Chuan also started to exert his strength, and the lap time began to increase little by little. This time, the RC16 experienced high-intensity vibration, and the front and rear of the car shook violently when entering and exiting corners.

Even ordinary corners are the same. It is obvious that Qin Chuan is no longer in the state of running a practice race, but in the state of qualifying, and he starts to push.

"Peko has achieved the fastest time so far, 1:31, which is the highest score in qualifying!"

At the end of the first lap, Peco was the first to set the fastest time on the grid. Xiao Zhang simply compared Peco's speed in practice and found that the first lap of qualifying was 0.2 seconds faster than the fastest time in practice.

Peko seemed to be hiding.

When he first watched the practice match, he thought Peko didn't hide much, but he didn't expect that he was wrong.

"Martin finished in 1:31, 426 seconds behind Peko."

"Qin Chuan's time in the first lap was 535. Martin and Qin Chuan need to keep working hard. Peco is obviously still speeding up. This is only the first lap of qualifying."

After the first lap, Wei Ran told the lap times of the top three.

The gap between the top three is not big, but obviously no one will show their lap time in the first lap, and Peco will be faster.

Qin Chuan's car crossed the finish line and also achieved his fastest personal lap time of 1 minute 31 seconds 535. On the straight line, Qin Chuan didn't even have time to check his lap time and immediately started the second lap.

After the RC16 shifted up to fifth gear, it quickly downshifted into Turn , with the rear wheel off the ground and the car braked hard to the limit.

Although the Assen circuit has many straight lines, the straight line to the finish line is not very long. You may have to be relatively careful just by looking at the P board on this track. The straight line is only about 500 meters long, and you may miss the braking point if you are not careful.

When entering a corner, brake hard at Turn 1 and stretch your legs to enter the corner. After entering the corner, quickly move towards Turn 2, pass the U-shaped curve and then turn into Turn 5.

Qin Chuan has already driven very skillfully in the first section. Apart from this U-turn, there are almost no overtaking points in this first section.

Although Turn 5 is a hairpin turn with a large angle, anyone with a little bit of common sense would not choose to overtake here unless the car in front makes a mistake in the line.

Qin Chuan's elbows and shoulders were all pressed against his knees when turning at a 66-degree angle, and the car accelerated upright out of the turn.

"In the first section, Qin Chuan's speed is almost the same as Peko's. We will enter the second section as soon as we exit the corner."

"The first section has always been the closest to Peko among Qinchuan's four sections. The two are almost at the same speed!"

Xiao Zhang had been observing Qin Chuan. When he saw his RC16 coming out of Turn , he quickly glanced at the lap time meter on the field. The first section did not show red, but showed yellow, which was his personal best.

He glanced at the lap time comparison with Peko again. It was just a few milliseconds, which was negligible.

The first section is not a big problem.

The RC16 accelerated in a straight line out of Turn 211, and its speed gradually increased. While accelerating in a straight line out of Turn , Qin Chuan quickly looked down at the fastest lap time on the field, which was set by Peko.

He was a little surprised at this lap time, because the opponent had made a much faster lap time in the first lap than in the second practice.

It seems that the other party was acting in the second practice just now. The car may have reached the perfect state long ago.

It was a bit unexpected but okay. At first he estimated that today's qualifying lap time might be under 30, but it should be at the very end. Now that he is running so fast from the beginning, the competition at the end may be more intense.

After passing the 16-meter straight line, Qin Chuan quickly shifted to fifth gear at the end of the straight line. The RC tilted quickly and rushed into Turn . Qin Chuan clamped the handlebars tightly with both hands, stepped on the accelerator when exiting the turn, and then turned over into Turn . This time, Qin Chuan's front shock absorber vibrated less and his speed was also much faster.

Compared with before, both the car and the running method have been optimized.

Silky and smooth.

"Qin Chuan's lap at Turn 7 was obviously better than the previous lap."

"The last three turns in the second section, keep steady! You must keep steady!"

"Qin Chuan has another yellow section in the second section, and his current lap time is still in the top three!"

Qin Chuan accelerated quickly after coming out of Turn 7. This is the only key turn in the second section. Although he can overtake in the other turns, they are of little use in qualifying and he will not lose speed.

At the end of the second section, Xiao Zhang took a look and saw another yellow section. It was his personal fastest but there was still a gap between him and Peko.

In the first two sections, Qin Chuan had no major problems in the first section, but in the second section he was a little slower than Peko and needed to make adjustments.

There was no problem with the fourth section in the last two sections, only Qin Chuan was relatively slow in the third section. If Qin Chuan could solve the problem in the third section, Xiao Zhang felt that Qin Chuan would have a high probability of competing with Peko.

As for the second section, it is just a little slower, which is not a big problem.

After Turn 7, the next 80, 90 and 100 turns are the right turn, the left turn and the right forward bend.

Qin Chuan maintained a very good speed in these three corners. After coming out of Turn 10, the second section was officially over and the car came out of the corner and entered the third section.

Seeing Qin Chuan arrived at the third section, the tense atmosphere in the ktmp room spread again. Stoner clenched his hands and felt a little nervous. This is considered the most difficult section of the Assen circuit and also the section where Qin Chuan is currently facing the most problems.

The roar of the RC16 spread all the way out of Turn , and the fans nearby couldn't help but cover their ears.

rc16 passed Turn and the third section officially began.

"It's time to start. Relax."

Seeing that Stoner was getting nervous, John quickly squeezed the two of them with his shoulders to make them relax.

When the car came to the third section, Qin Chuan subconsciously paid extra attention. He knew exactly where he was slower than Peko, and it was in this third section.

To be exact, it is at the last bend in the third section.

There are four turns in total in the three sections, 11, 12, 13 and 14.

The most difficult ones are the last two.

"Qin Chuan came to the third section. The next eleven turns is a very common high-speed right turn. Qin Chuan turned into the eleventh turn. There was no problem. He passed it steadily!"

"RC16 starts to speed up after coming out of Turn , preparing to approach Turn !"

Turn 11 is a very common high-speed turn. After coming out of Turn 10, Qin Chuan tilted the car body slightly to the right, released the throttle a little, and the car quickly passed Turn 11. His knees did not touch the center of the turn, because the inclination angle was not very high, and his knees could not touch the ground.

After passing the eleventh turn, the car's tires stuck to the center of the turn and accelerated upright, then were thrown to the outside line. Qin Chuan gradually pressed down the accelerator with his right hand and began to rush towards the twelfth turn.

The rc16 sped along the outer shoulder. Unlike Turn , which was almost next to Turn , Turn was a little further away.

There is a small straight line between the eleventh turn and the twelfth turn. It is not very long, only about two hundred meters. Qin Chuan's original speed of just over one hundred kilometers rose rapidly to two hundred at this moment. When he was about to reach 230 kilometers, the twelfth turn came.

The front wheel of RC16 left the ground, Qin Chuan's left foot quickly shifted up the gear, and the car quickly passed through this small straight line. At the end of the straight line, Turn appeared in front of Qin Chuan.

The second turn in section three.

This is a super high-speed corner, very similar to Turn 6, and it is still a right-hander.

Release the accelerator again and tilt the car body, and the RC16 rushes into the curve again.

“Turn 12 is the second relatively high-speed corner on this track!”

"The 13th turn behind is also a super high-speed turn. It is a double right-turn high-speed turn."

"Qin Chuan passed the first bend smoothly."

We passed the twelve bends at high speed. After coming out of the twelve bends, the car accelerated again and there was another small straight line, about three hundred meters long.

After slowing down at the curve, Qin Chuan's speed reached 200 kilometers per hour, 30km slower than when entering the curve. On the 200-meter straight line, Qin Chuan's speed rose again from 270 kilometers per hour to yards. The thirteenth turn is coming.

Everyone on the scene held their breath. After passing Turn 12, they would come to Turns 13, 14 and 15, the most difficult turns in this section. The really tricky corners in the third section are in these three turns, which are also among the most dangerous turns on this track.

Turn 15 is planned in the fourth section, but strictly speaking it and Turn 14 are a combination turn, a U-shaped turn to the left, so they can be viewed together.

Turn 13 is still a right turn, a high-speed right turn, which is basically the same as Turn 12. The angle here is similar to Turn 6. The next Turns 14 and 15 are U-shaped combination turns to the left, which means that you have to turn over quickly and brake after entering the turn this time, which is almost the same action as Turn 7.

Qin Chuan did not downshift this time, because his speed was not very fast in the 300-meter straight line, only 270 miles per hour, not as fast as before Turn 6. When the accelerator was released halfway, the car quickly went down the incline.

Turn right in fifth gear and enter Turn 13.

The rc16 was driving at a very high speed, brushing against the shoulder of the road at the center of turn .

Qin Chuan plunged into Turn 13 from the straight line without much deceleration. After the car passed the center of the bend, the accelerator was quickly shut off and it turned over at high speed.

Turn right and then turn left.

After exiting the bend, he quickly turned left and entered Turn 14 without slowing down.

This is a U-shaped combination bend, but it is not two right-angle bends combined together, but two high-speed bends with a small angle. This is why Qin Chuan did not slow down at the first bend. He could enter the high-speed bend without slowing down. These two bends can be regarded as one, and the braking point should be targeted at the second bend.

The rc16 moved quickly out of the turn, the front of the car changed from right to left, and Qin Chuan's body also changed from hanging on the right side to hanging on the left side, with his knees pushed out and quickly touching the ground.

Turn 14 is a left turn, and so is Turn 15.

Turning left into Turn 14, Qin Chuan did not release the accelerator and rushed into Turn 14 quickly. After entering the turn, he quickly turned outward. After exiting the turn, he squeezed the brakes on the outside line and began to slow down to enter Turn 15.

The car is in a tilted position at this moment.

When we came to the fifteenth bend, the car speed had exceeded 300 kilometers per hour. It was difficult to pass even a high-speed bend at a speed of 300 kilometers per hour.

So you have to slow down at this second turn, and slow down a lot.

The opening shapes of these two high-speed turns are somewhat C-shaped, and when combined together they form a semicircular shape, but with slight angularity.

You don’t need to slow down when entering the first corner, but you cannot do that for the second corner. You must slow down when entering the corner. This is also the traditional way of running on the Assen circuit.

This way of entering a turn results in the car going very fast when entering Turn 15, and the car must be downshifted to enter the turn while tilted, which is extremely difficult.

The straight area between the two bends is very short, and there is no space for the car body to stand upright, so it looks more like a U-shaped corner.

Downshift and enter the turn.

Qin Chuan's car body shook violently.

The car decelerates at a very high speed into the second corner of the U-shaped combination.

The violent downshifting and braking force of the GP driver will make the car extremely unstable when the car body is upright, not to mention that the car is still in a tilted state at this moment.

Qin Chuan has tried his best to slow down the force and speed of braking and downshifting, but the RC16 under his crotch is still shaking violently, and the body of the car is undulating back and forth.

"Can you hold this place steady? You must hold it steady!"

"Hold on! We're entering Turn 15. Let's see how fast we can go in the third section. It's still my fastest time!"

Seeing that Qin Chuan did not fall off the bike, Xiao Zhang's face suddenly relaxed a lot. In the previous practice sessions, Qin Chuan had two falls here. Because of the high speed on the curve, he fell heavily. Fortunately, he was fine, but the bike suffered considerable damage each time.

In the ktmp room, Stoner Pedrosa followed Qin Chuan's eyes all the way to Turn 14, and then turned to Turn 15. Seeing that Qin Chuan stabilized the two of them in the end, they were relieved. This track seems to have many turns, but in fact many of the turns are relatively ordinary. The really troublesome and impressive ones are Turn 6, and the other four turns are Turn 13, 14, and 15.

If Qin Chuan can handle these bends perfectly, then there will be no major problems in today's race.

Seeing that Qin Chuan kept his balance in the corner and did not fall, Stoner and Pedrosa were relieved.

"After turning fifteen, Qin Chuan turned over and braked hard, preparing to enter the last three turns!"

Xiao Zhang's tone was slightly relaxed as he watched Qin Chuan exit the turn and reach the last three turns.

These three turns are relatively simple. There are three consecutive turning turns at the end of a small straight line, similar to an S-shape, but it consists of three corners. After coming out, you will reach the finish straight line.

After Qin Chuan braked and entered Turn 16, he turned over along the center of the turn and entered Turn 17, then turned over again and turned into Turn 18, and then came out to the finish straight.
