Chapter 331: Preparations
At this time, more and more sports cars and performance cars flocked from New York to Brooklyn Racing Park, which even caused traffic jams.
Even the police department in New York City was alarmed and had to send police forces to maintain order on the scene.
Lu Ning was already fully armed and stood beside Elaine Chau and Paris. The McLaren F1-XP5, which needed to be driven, was doing the final maintenance. After all, it was aiming for a record-breaking, and it was not just a symbolic game.
Therefore, it is necessary to undergo strict inspections. Three-quarters of the gasoline, four Gunnery ground tires are replaced, and the inspection technicians of the Supercar Club are busy.
"I said, Elaine and I both have been suppressing the money. Don't let us pay, otherwise you will be responsible for the rest of our lives." Paris was relaxed at this time. Anyway, she had absolute trust in Lu Ning and Paris.
"How much are you suppressing?" To be honest, Lu Ning really didn't have any confidence. When he heard Paris' tone, he seemed to have suppressed a lot of money and couldn't help but feel nervous.
"Elaine and I are 1,000 each." Paris said casually.
"10 million? You're crazy." Lu Ning was startled.
"$1,000, and 10 million, how dare you accept this amount?" Paris rolled her eyes. Is this all entertainment good? The highest bet on-site is Joseph's 10,000 US dollars. What I thought, it's 10 million, why don't you go to heaven?
......Lu Ning was so amused and crying. It seemed that he was cheated by Paris again. He was just $1,000, and he would rely on himself for the rest of his life if he lost. It was obviously a scam.
At this time, the newly prepared McLaren F1-XP5 was also driven out by Rooney and stopped steadily in front of Lu Ning.
The seats of McLaren F1-XP5 are in the middle, exactly the same as the design of F1, and can only drive alone. Well, bad reviews! I went to the bar at night and found the partner but found that Yaya, it would be so embarrassing that it would not be able to take it away.
You can't take out a Franklin and let the girl take a taxi to the hotel by herself.
When Lu Ning got into the car, he found that the McLaren F1-XP5 did not use a traditional steering wheel, and of course, it was not the functional steering wheel of the F1.
It is a semicircular test that is relatively close to the rally. It is quite strange in this era, with its own paddle shifters and the instrument has a sense of déjà vu.
"Lu Ning, be careful." Elaine still gave a little worried reminder.
Lu Ning nodded and glanced at the interior of McLaren F1-XP5: "Which, Rooney, come here." Then he waved his hand and shouted Rooney in front of the car.
"What's wrong? Mr. Lu, what else do you have to do?" Rooney ran over and looked down at Lu Ning with a pilgrimage look on his face.
If Mr. Lu really sets a record later, the value of his car will definitely skyrocket. At that time, he will make a lot of money by changing his hands.
"Well, Rooney, can you tell me first where the start button is?" Lu Ning looked at Rooney awkwardly. After watching for a long time, he couldn't find the start button.
......Roonie's sweat appeared on his forehead, please, Lu Shen, you, hey, Rooney taught Lu Ning how to start McLaren F1-XP5.
The moment it was started, a huge engine roar sounded, and the V12 engine was in an absolutely violent state after being trained by McLaren's R&D department. Now, as long as Lu Ning lightly slams the accelerator, this violent beast will recover.
"I believe it, stay there." After McLaren F1-XP5 was launched, there was nothing wrong with Rooney. Lu Ning waved his hand and drove away the annoying Lu Ning.
"Well, Mr. Lu, be careful to click on it. This is my lifeblood." Rooney looked at McLaren F1-XP5 reluctantly, and then he moved out of the position.
The little eyes of parting were filled with a hint of resentment, which made Lu Ning shudder.
Hiss, could it be a pervert? Well, it's better to stay away from this guy in the future. Lu Ning put on his helmet, put on his seat belt, and lightly click the accelerator. McLaren F1-XP5 rushed out.
Tsk, this feeling is much more exciting than driving a Porsche 997 just now. It is worthy of being the strongest mass-produced supercar on the surface now.
Lu Ning drove McLaren F1-XP5 onto the track. Now, the track has been completely closed and all vehicles have left the track.
Lu Ning drove the McLaren F1-XP5 in a serpentine step forward on the track. Since he had just changed four new tyres, a tire grinding process was needed, which would allow the tires to be warmed up better.
In the first three laps, Lu Ning used a snake-shaped route to fully warm up the tires, and also conducted several "elk" tests.
Overall, the McLaren F1-XP5's performance is perfect, and the turning direction is also very good, no worse than the Porsche 997.
During the fourth lap, Lu Ning significantly accelerated the speed, and every in-turn and out of the corner was tested. McLaren F1-XP5 is very suitable for extreme drift and can be stuck just right.
Even now, when I changed my driver's seat, I felt a little uncomfortable, so Lu Ning was not in a hurry to start running, and more, I had to test the driving first.
"Lu Ning, what does it feel like?" Wireless equipment has been installed in the helmet to facilitate communication.
"Don't worry, I've tried the car. It's very good. The performance of entering the corner is very good. When going out, there will be some slight deviation at the rear tail, which will not have much impact."
"Okay, then you're heating the tires." Joseph had been communicating with Lu Ning, and at this time, Madeline and Xiao Chenxi, who had been hiding in the lounge for snacks, also came out to cheer for Lu Ning.
After preheating, Lu Ning clearly felt that the grip of the tires was better.
In the last lap of test, Lu Ning no longer made a snake-shaped advance, but increased his horsepower and tested the straight-line acceleration.
It's really not to mention that the straight-line acceleration of McLaren F1-XP5 is more violent than all the sports cars Lu Ning drives.
Although 0-100 is just that and there is not much happiness, the gap between 100-200 is somewhat obvious. The McLaren F1-XP5's rear-range acceleration will definitely beat all supercars of the same level.
"Hu." Lu Ning took a deep breath and turned off the goggles of his helmet, so that he could avoid misjudgments caused by the sun.
"Be careful, I'm going to start the run in the next lap." Lu Ning said to the built-in microphone in his helmet.
"I received it, I wish you good luck." Joseph replied, and at this time, everyone looked at McLaren F1-XP5 on the track.
As we all know, the highlight is about to begin, and at this time, more and more cars are driving into the Brooklyn Racing Park. Some of them don’t even shut down the engine and throw their cars into the audience.
The one who had asked a hot girl to go to the hotel before arrived panting.
"How is it, how is it, I'm not late, are you?"
"Just just now, I'm going to run away in the next lap." Hearing the answer, the man breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and looked at it seriously.
Chapter completed!
