THE pedals mabuleki ndi accelerator ali pafupi kwambiri kwakuti zimawoneka kuti ndikuyendetsa popanda nsapato. Ndikaika manja anga pa chiongolero chaching'ono, ndimadabwa kwakanthawi: kwa nthawi yoyamba ndimawona chiongolero chaphimbidwa Alcantara wakuda pa XNUMX, mwanaalirenji pang'ono mkatikati kosavuta kwambiri.

Chizindikiro cha Farm kumunsi kwa phiri chikuwoneka cholonjeza, koma titafika pachipata, palibe chipale chofewa. Ndikuyesera kugunda mzere wofiira ndi woyera, koma Caterham ndiwokwera kwambiri. Dean ndiye apeza kuti chotchinga sichinatsekedwe ...

Kuyenda paphiri pawekha ndikosangalatsa, ndipo msewu umamveka ngati Seveni: yopapatiza kwambiri (yopapatiza kwambiri pamagalimoto apamwamba kwambiri), yokhala ndi magiredi osiyanasiyana komanso pamapindikira sangalalani ngati openga, ndibwino kuposa njirayo.

Ndipo kotero ndimakonda kwambiri kuyendetsa.

Tsoka ilo, chipale chofewa chikayerekeza kuonekera, chimakhala chokwera kwambiri kotero kuti ngati ndingayese kuchotsa njira yanga, mauna a Caterham amasanduka oyera mpaka kuwoneka ngati kuti koke ya coke idapangidwa. Chifukwa chake timabwerera ndikuyenda njira yopita Mon-Dorkomwe kudakhala kusuntha kwakukulu.

Tidali ku Clermont-Ferrand nthawi ya Ecoty 2007 (ndimayendetsa Lotus 2 Eleven kumeneko panthawiyo) ndipo pali mseu womwe udandikakamira. Izi ndizomwe tili tsopano: D996, ndiye Col de la Croix-Moran.

Imayambira kumunsi kwa chigwacho, kuchokera pomwe nsonga zokutidwa ndi chipale chofewa zimawoneka ngati zakutali komanso zosafikirika ngati mitambo yomwe imawakhudza. Poyamba, msewu umawoneka ngati wadutsa m'miyala, kenako umadutsa m'madambo musanalowe m'nkhalango ya paini yomwe imabisala nsonga zamapiri ndikukweza phokoso la mpweya wotulutsa utsi. Mitengo ya paini ikasowa modzidzimutsa, mumaona mawonekedwe ochititsa chidwi: msewu umakakamira kukhoma laphiri lomwe limaimirira.

Mwina ndikukhazikitsa komwe ndidasankha komwe kumandilimbikitsa makamaka, zowona ndikuti nthawi yomweyo ndidakondana ndi Supersport. Itha kukhala Caterham yamphamvu kwambiri yomwe ndidakwerapo, koma ndiyomwe yakonzedwa bwino kwambiri. Pamaso pake pali anti-roll bar woonda kwambiri padziko lapansi ndipo amawoneka ngati camber yoyipa, kuseri kwa anti-roll bar ndi yolimba. Ndizochulukirapo kuposa izo, koma zotsatira za chimangochi alchemy ndi 'khomo lolowera pakona kutuluka kodabwitsa komanso kopita patsogolo komanso kotsogola kumbuyo. Mukalowa ngodya zazitali kapena ma chicane akumanzere, ingotsitsani phazi lanu pang'ono, tengani pang'ono pang'ono kuposa nthawi zonse (tembenuzirani gudumu ma millimeter angapo), kenako mutsegule gasi pomwe mukumva zosiyana ... .. Zimachepetsa kulemera. Zisanu ndi ziwiri sizovuta nthawi zonse kutumiza chammbali: nthawi zambiri zimayendetsedwa mpaka nthawi inayake, pambuyo pake sizingabwezeretsedwe. Koma Supersport akuwoneka wokondwa kulola kuzunzidwa, ndipo ngakhale zili zovuta, alibe cholinga chopandukira. Zili ngati kuyendetsa Escort Mk2.

Msewu nthawi zonse umakhala wopanda chipale chofewa, koma ndikafika pamwamba ndikutsatira mapazi anga kuti ndichitenso, sindisamala, chifukwa nyengo zotere komanso mumsewu wotsetsereka komanso wokhala ndi miyala, kuyendetsa galimoto ndikosavuta. zodabwitsa. Ndinganene kuti chochitika ichi mosakayikira ndi chimodzi mwazanga zapamwamba XNUMX.

Komabe, nthawi ina ndimamva mluzu. Pakati pamiyendo yachiwiri pamwambapa, the pedal Zowalamulira imatenga nthawi yayitali, ndipo pakatha masekondi atatu imasiya kugwira ntchito. Tembererani. Ndimayima, kuzimitsa injini, kutukwana, ndi kutuluka. Kunayamba kuda ndipo tili pambali pa phiri lozizira kwambiri ndi Caterham wokhala ndi cholumikizira chosweka. Vuto lalikulu. Kwa nthawi yoyamba patsiku, ndili wokondwa kuti sikukugwa chisanu.

Patadutsa theka la ola ndikuseweretsa injini ndi babu limodzi lokha pakuwonetsera foni yam'manja, tazindikira kuti clutch idachotsedwa. Ndikudziwa kuti palibe chomwe ndingachite (ndilibe chizolowezi chogogoda) ndipo ili si vuto la Caterham chifukwa ndichinthu chosindikizidwa chomwe chimaperekedwa ndi wogulitsa. Ali yekha tsoka...

Dzuwa likakwera, zimawonekeratu kuti zowalamulirazo zidathyoledwa ndipo sipamatsala chipale chofewa. Sindingathe kusiya ntchito chifukwa padzakhala mwayi wambiri wosangalala, chifukwa chake tidaganiza zodzudzula za clutch. Tikadakhala GT-R kapena 458, sitikanachitira mwina koma kuyendetsa galimoto kupita kunyumba, koma ndikutumizirana maukadaulo kopanda kompyuta kuti ilume kumbuyo kwa gudumu, ndizodabwitsa momwe mungachitire.

Gawo lovuta likuyamba: palibe mkangano womwe umafunikira kukankha kapena kukoka. Koma ndi injini ikuyenda, ndikosavuta kuyenderera koyamba. Imafulumira, ngati kuti palibe chomwe chidachitika, imalowa ndale, ndipo boma likagwa mokwanira, koma osati kwambiri, lachiwiri limachitika. Imathamangitsa, imapita kumalo osaloŵerera, madontho othamanga, gawo lachitatu. M'malo mwake, kuti mukwere, mumasinthana kukwera ndi chidendene choloza, kenako ndikusunthira ndale komanso kutsika pang'ono.

Maola awiri oyamba anali ovuta pang'ono, koma patapita kanthawi ndinatengeka, ndipo zidakhala zosangalatsa. Ndinakwanitsanso kukhala ndi mayendedwe ofanana ndi a Caterham okhala ndi clutch m'malo mwake. Komanso pitani ku Yendani. Chovuta kwambiri ndikupeza malo oti muyendetse popanda kuyimitsa, ndiyeno mukayima ndikofunikira, onetsetsani kuti mukuchita m'njira yoti mphuno itsike. Inde, mizinda iyenera kupeŵedwa. Chodabwitsa, kuthamanga kwa m'mawa popanda clutch kumakhala kopambana kwenikweni: chotsalira chokha ndichoti, kuweruza nyengo ndi msewu, kungakhale tsiku lotentha la autumn, choncho sitinathe kuvala nyengo yozizira. matayala. mayeso. Ndiyeno, tikaima kuti tidye chakudya chamasana pa nyumba yokhayo yomwe ili pamwamba pa chishalocho, mitambo ikuluikulu imasonkhana paphiripo. Chipale chofewa chimagwa pang'onopang'ono, kenako mochuluka. Tikamadya mkate wa mbatata ndi tchizi, timaona chipale chofewa chikuyera udzu, miyala, ndi msewu.

Matayala a Ice Touring ndi kuphatikiza kosavuta kwa kukhalapo komanso kusowa kogwira. Koma koposa zonse, ndi iwo muli ndi chidaliro kuti ngati muchepetse, mudzasiya, ndipo izi zimakulolani kupanga malingaliro anu.

Kuyenda chammbali ndikosavuta kuposa kale, ingokhalani kumbuyo kumbuyo wolamulira... Koma, monga momwe zimakhalira ndi galimoto yowuma, pamakhala ndemanga zambiri nthawi zonse, ndipo nthawi zonse mumayang'anira vutoli, simukumva kuti ndinu wokwera chifukwa cha zomwe zikuchitika. Potembenukira kumtunda kwa chiphaso, mutha kuyendetsanso pagalimotoyo, kenako kwezani mwendo wanu, tsegulaninso khosalo ndikuoloka mbali inayo.

Ndizabwino kuwona kuti siife tokha omwe tikusangalala ndi chipale chofewa: M3 E30, yomwe ikuwoneka kuti idakonzekera mwambowu, ikutidutsa. Mkati muli anyamata awiri akumwetulira ali ndi zaka makumi asanu, ndipo ndimatha kumva foni yawo mphindi khumi zapitazo: "Allez, Pierre, tulutsani BMW."
