Chapter 1287: The Ring of Truth!

Newberg is located in the town of Nüborg about 70 kilometers south of Cologne, Germany. There is nothing special about the town, but this track makes it famous all over the world. Newberg is actually not a track. It includes a 22.8-kilometer north track and a 7.7-kilometer south track. What Li Fanyu said is the Newberg North track, which is known as the holy place of racing!

This is an incredible high-speed track. The entire track winds forward on the Everre Plateau. With the ups and downs of the mountains, the vertical drop of the road surface is as high as more than 300 meters, and there are 177 detours of all sizes!

Before 1976, the North Ring Road was once a stop in the F1 event, but because the track was 21 kilometers at that time, it not only had technical difficulties in television broadcasting, but even the most important safety car could not arrive in time. It was not until 1982 that the newly built New North Green South Side Track was established that the devil track finally returned to F1.

Among the 1,177 bends in the North Ring Road, most of them are high-speed bends. The road surface and buffer zone are relatively narrow, and at most they can accommodate three cars in parallel. At the same time, the angle of some shoulder stones is quite high. If the route is wrong and the wheels are pressed on the shoulder stone, it is extremely easy to cause excessive bounce and cause the car to lose control.

Therefore, New North Green has extremely strict requirements on drivers' skills, physical strength, vehicle chassis, braking, steering body rigidity, tires, etc.

Therefore, this is called the "Ring of Truth"!

At this time, all the personnel of the topgear film crew outside the New North Green Raceway were in place.

Now topgear has an unparalleled influence in the industry. The three kids have become famous with the help of the show. The good quality and dissemination of the show have made the crew very rich. So how the three Clarkson play the fun and play now, regardless of the ideas of Li Fanyu, the big boss.

After hearing that Li Fanyu wanted to do a test in New North Green, the three of them all together and sent an invitation to the drivers who had participated in the program before WCR, F1 and FE.

When I heard that I was going to compete with an autonomous car at New North Green, many drivers were also quite interested and responded directly.

Let’s not talk about Alonso, the leader who swept the world in FE. He is Li Fanyu’s good friend, not to mention Alonso’s current teammate Lou Lu. When the little girl heard that she wanted to call her master, she came over. Zhengxin’s test must be supported.

But even the popular F1 actor, Alonso's former teammate Hamilton, received Clarkson's invitation and rushed over from the United States.

It can be seen that virtual driving really makes everyone very curious.

Many drivers who came came took the sports car prepared by the program team and began to do some preparations; curious, as professional drivers, everyone is familiar with this track, and knows that when they are speeding in such a place, they are GG.

They dare not take it lightly.

On the side of the track, a pure white, exquisite metal sheet metal red flag young man with charming light in the sun attracted the attention of most people in the venue.

Because this is the protagonist today!

"Hey, mete, I'm ready, how are you?" Clarkson put on his helmet and shouted with James May on the intercom.

"FK! Only the madman would compete with an unmanned car on such a dangerous track! I have written a suicide note. If this Shabi car loses control and implicates me to death, please tell my wife that I will finally have a chance to get rid of her!"

James May was sitting on a longbow and was a little crazy.

Although it was a joke, James's words expressed the thoughts of many people present.

Although virtual driving is a new thing, everyone has seen it! Generally, autonomous driving cars rely on map guidance to confirm the route, while on the other hand, they use visual analysis instruments to detect the front. Such cars all look stupid and a little "lucky".

On weekdays, it’s okay to drive autonomously, but where is it now?

New North Green!

Almost all drivers made up their minds - to stay away from the virtually driven car in a while.

Almost all the staff were worried about the drivers on the field - nothing happened!

This test, according to Li Fanyu's meaning, broadcasts the global car fans and people who drive virtually, in this form, according to Li Fanyu's intention. At this time, the audience in front of the computer was already quarreling;

"FK! That so-called virtual car driving is not called, don't run around like a fly in a while! My favorite drivers are all here. If something happens, it will be a heavy loss!"

"Yes! My goddess Lou Lu must be careful and run forward in a while! If something happens, you won't touch you!"

"Hey, what's the matter with Zhengxin this time? Even if virtual driving is awesome, can it be compared with these professional drivers? Hurry up and go home and sleep! If that young man can run the entire journey in New North Green, it would be a burning fragrance, right?"

"Who said no? Running on such a track is an adventure. There are so many drivers in the season now. It will definitely be in chaos at that time. If virtual driving is not good, can you cause a series of car accidents?"

"Okay, OK, it's useless, it's useless to be blind now. The test is about to start. Let's see the results later."

"The result is not to bet on it. I bet on five packs of spicy strips. The young man who was driving the Red Flag in virtually will have to fall down the mountain if he can only run 10 kilometers."

...

The audience is not optimistic about Zhengxin’s virtual driving.

Not only were the audience not optimistic, but even the staff on the scene were facing a great enemy.

"P1, P1, the competition begins soon. Please always ensure that the rescue vehicle is in the state to prevent accidents that may occur immediately!"

"P1 understands, N1, please use the air superiority to pay close attention to the red flag on the track. If there is an abnormality, please call and notify us immediately! This is New North Green, and it is difficult for the rescue vehicle to be in place in time. Repeat, this is New North Green, this is New North Green!"

"N1 understands, I will pay close attention on the helicopter! over!"

Amid the noise of radio, Clarkson stood in front of the live camera with an expression of not being able to die.

"Hey! Friends, we are fully prepared. As you can see, fifty drivers are already in their position at the starting point of the Ring of Truth, waiting for a race that is unprecedented in racing history! That is... a race between people and programs!

So, now, before the exciting moment begins, I will solemnly announce something to the world. I, Clarkson, will have the honor to sit in that charming or perhaps deadly red flag to present the first perspective of virtual driving in this world!”

After saying that, Clarkson tightened his funny hard hat again, waved his hand to the camera, opened the young man's co-pilot's door, and sat in it.

As the indicator lights at the starting point light up one after another, the competition begins!
Chapter completed!
