ʻO ka hoʻokolohua hoʻokolohua Ford GT LMGTE PRO / GTLM: huakaʻi hanohano
Nā mea
ʻO ka huakaʻi hanohano hope loa ma mua o ka hoʻomaha loa
Mai 1966 a i 1969, ua lanakila ʻo Ford i ʻehā mau lanakila GT40 i nā hola 24 o Le Mans. Mai 2016 a 2019, hoʻolauleʻa ka GT o kēia manawa i kona hoʻi ʻana i ka heihei hoʻomanawanui. I kēia lā, hana ʻo ia i kāna pōʻai hanohano hope ma mua o ka hoʻomaha ʻana.
ʻO nā kihi maikaʻi ʻole, ka lele ʻana o ka puʻu, ʻike ʻole ʻia ka hoʻopau ʻana - ʻo ke kaikuahine liʻiliʻi ma Nurburgring North i kapa ʻia ʻo VIR, he ʻAmelika maʻemaʻe ʻo ia, nona ka home ʻo Alton, Virginia, me ka heluna kanaka he 2000. Welina mai i ka lewa déjà vu ma ke Alanui ʻĀkau me ka Ford GT o Virginia International Raceway.
I ka 2016, ua hoʻolauleʻa ʻo Ford i kahi hoʻihoʻi hoʻomanawanui, a pau i kēia manawa ʻehā mau makahiki ma hope. Ma waho aʻe o ke komo pū ʻana me ka hui o ka hale hana i ka moʻo nui ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa IMSA (papa GTLM) a me ka FIA WEC World Endurance Championship (papa LMGTE Pro), ua hoʻokumu ʻia ka manaʻo nui loa e ka hoʻi ʻana o Ford me ka lanakila ma ka 24 Hours o Le Mans ma ka papa LMGTE Pro. i ka 2016
Mai 2016 a 2019, ua komo ka hui ʻoihana Ford i ka heihei Farani maʻamau ʻaʻole wale me ka helu kaʻao 67, akā pū kekahi me ʻekolu mau kaʻa GT ʻē aʻe - he hoʻomaikaʻi i nā lanakila ʻehā Le Mans Grand Prix kahi i lanakila ai ka GT40 i ʻehā mau makahiki i ka lālani. (1966–1969) ma ke ala kiʻekiʻe i ka muliwai Sarthe.
Kaua o nā pilikua
ʻO ia ka hopena o ka hoʻokūkū kaʻao ma waena o nā kānaka nunui ʻo Enzo Ferrari a me Henry Ford II. Ua makemake ka tycoon ʻAmelika e kūʻai i ka haʻuki haʻuki Italia a me ka hui kaʻa heihei ʻo Ferrari i mea e loaʻa koke ai ka kūleʻa ma motorsport. Aia kekahi hōʻino. Ma hope o ka kānalua mua, hōʻole ʻo Enzo Ferrari e kūʻai aku i kāna ʻoihana. A laila ua hana ʻo Ford i ka GT40. ʻO ke koena ka moʻolelo.
ʻAʻole wale ka GT ʻulaʻula a keʻokeʻo wale nō me ka helu hoʻomaka 67, akā ʻekolu mau GT hale hana ʻē aʻe i kū i ka huakaʻi aloha ma hope o ka pau ʻana o ka hoʻokūkū a ka hui a me ke aloha iā Le Mans i ka makahiki 2019 ma nā kala o nā mea lanakila o ka makahiki 1960. Ua hoʻomaha ʻo ia mai kāna ʻoihana heihei ma mua o ka hoʻomaka ʻana i ka helu 67 a loaʻa i kēia manawa ka manawa kūpono e hoʻopau ai i kekahi mau ʻaoʻao hanohano hou ma Virginia.
"Mai pāʻani me ka mea hoʻokele ma S-curves. Ma ka piha piha a i ʻole ka hapalua o ka throttle - mai hoʻokuʻu koke i kēlā ʻāpana o ke ala," wahi a Billy Johnson, ka mea holo Ford. Hoʻomaopopo pono ʻo ia i kēia mau mea, no ka mea, no nā makahiki ʻehā i hala ua hoʻomaka ʻo ia me GT ma Le Mans.
ʻO ka poʻe makemake ʻole e hoʻolohe. ʻEhā, ʻelima, ʻeono. ʻO ka manaʻo maikaʻi, ke kaʻa nei mākou me ka wikiwiki piha no nā huli ʻehā i ka wikiwiki kiʻekiʻe. Ua kapa ʻia ka hoʻomaka ʻana o kēia ʻāpana "The Snake". Akā ke "nahu" ka nahesa iā ʻoe, ʻaʻole ʻoe e manaʻo i nā ikaika ʻeha o ka wikiwiki ʻana i ka ʻaoʻao - e ʻeha loa kou kālā ke lohe ʻoe i ka ʻakaʻaka o nā ʻenekinia mai ke kikowaena mana.
Hoʻopau ʻia kekahi o nā lap mua o ka hanohano me ka huli ʻana i ka wikiwiki kiʻekiʻe a me ka rollover ma hope o ka nahele ma ke ala. Lilo ka GT i Allroad, kahi kaʻa haʻahaʻa a ākea e hakakā ana ma waena o nā ululāʻau. ʻO ka mea pōmaikaʻi, ma ka honua honua, ʻaʻole i hoʻopilikia ʻia ke kanaka a me ka mīkini.
Ma mua o ka ʻae ʻana o nā mea hoʻonohonoho e hoʻokele i ka kaao Le Mans, hoʻokomo ka papahana i kahi hoʻomaʻamaʻa maloʻo ʻelua mau hola i kahi simulator Ford Performance Technical Center a me kahi kaʻa e holo ana ma kahi ʻo Virginia International Raceway ʻoiaʻiʻo. Hoʻokahi kaʻa heihei ma Concord, North Carolina kahi home o 2D a me 3D simulation mai 22am a 365pm, aneane XNUMX lā o ka makahiki.
I kēia lā, i mua o kahi kānana kiʻi ʻoniʻoni 180-kekelē, neʻe ke kaʻa GT mua i mua a ma hope i nā neʻe uila. ʻAʻole wale ma Ford, ʻo nā hana simulator i kēia manawa kahi ʻāpana o ka hoʻolālā kaʻa heihei, ke kaʻa kaʻa a me ka hoʻomākaukau heihei.
Hoʻomaʻamaʻa ma ka simulator heihei
"Hiki iā mākou ke hoʻololi i ke aniau, pāʻani me nā kūlana traction like ʻole, a i ʻole e hoʻohālikelike i ka pōʻeleʻele. Pēlā mākou i hoʻomākaukau ai i kā mākou mau kaʻa no ʻelua hola a me ka hapa o ka hoʻokele waʻa pō ma 24 Hours of Le Mans,” wahi a Mark Rushbrook, Ford Performance Head of Sports.
ʻOiaʻiʻo i nā kikoʻī liʻiliʻi loa, nā kiʻi kiʻi o kahi simulator kiʻekiʻe, e hōʻike ana i kahi track virtual a i nā aniani ʻaoʻao, he nani maoli. Ka ua nui a i ʻole ka hau ma ke kahua heihei ma Virginia? ʻAʻohe pilikia - ʻekolu mau ʻenekini e nānā i ka simulator ma nā mākaʻi he ʻumi e lawe i ke kuleana o St. Peter ma ka pā ʻana o kahi pihi.
ʻOiai hāʻawi nā kiʻi i ka manaʻo o ka ʻoiaʻiʻo, ʻaʻole hiki i ka simulator ke hoʻokokoke i nā pūʻali koa a me nā longitudinal e hana i kou kino ma hope i ka kaʻa heihei. Eia kekahi, ʻo ka manaʻo o ke kaomi ʻana i ka pedal rem i ka simulator ka mea i manaʻo ʻia he hana ʻole.
ʻO ka loaʻa ʻana o ke kaomi pedal kūpono ka paʻakikī e like me ka loaʻa ʻana o kahi kiko kū pono. ʻAʻole wale ka hihi ʻike ākea, ka mea e kōkua iā ʻoe e koho i ka mamao i ka huli, hana wale nō ia i ka honua o ke ala uila, akā ʻaʻole e hōʻike koke ʻia ka makaʻu nui o ka hoʻomaha ʻana a me kahi rollover weliweli i ka simulator. Kū pinepine nā ulia pōpilikia i nā pailaka ʻoihana.
"ʻAʻole wau makemake nui i ka pahu i loko o ka simulator, no ka mea he mea kūlohelohe ia. Eia nō naʻe, he mea nui ka hoʻāʻo ʻana ma laila no ka mea, no ka laʻana, hiki iā mākou ke hoʻohālikelike i nā hui hui like ʻole me ka wikiwiki, "wahi a Ryan Briscoe.
Ua heihei ʻo Briscoe ka mea hoʻokele F1 mua i ka Ford GT o Chip Ganassi Racing i nā heihei mai IMSA, WEC a me Le Mans. "Ke neʻe nei ʻoe i ka ʻumikūmālua, ke holo nei ʻoe me ka ʻole BoP. A laila e loaʻa iā ʻoe ma kahi o 100 hp. ʻoi aku, "ʻakaʻaka ka mea hoʻokūkū ʻoihana Australia, e kuhikuhi ana i kahi hoʻololi rotary ma kona huila hoʻokele me kahi lepili ʻulaʻula ʻulaʻula e ʻōlelo ana "Boost" ma luna. No kēlā me kēia mea ʻaʻole makemake i ka motorsport: kū ʻo BoP no "Performance Balance". Ma hope o kēia he hoʻoponopono ʻenehana e lawe i nā kaʻa heihei like ʻole i ka mana like.
Pahe nui ka puka kalapona ʻokiʻoki i loko o ka laka. Kaomi mākou i ke pihi hoʻomaka. ʻO ka ʻenekini māhoe-turbo māhoe 220-lita V3,5 mai Roush Yates Engines, ka hoa ʻenekini heihei ʻo Ford, e uwē nui nei. Huki mākou i ka huila hoʻokele ʻākau, kaomi - a ʻo Ricardo ka hoʻoili ʻana i ʻeono-wikiwiki hoʻoheheʻe ʻana i ka pahu mua.
Hoʻomaka mākou, e wikiwiki e haʻalele i ke ala lua, a laila kaomi i ke pihi melemele ma ka huila me ka hōʻailona "honu". Aia kēia me ka Pit Limiter, ka mea e pale ai i ka GT mai ka ʻoi aku o ka palena kiʻekiʻe i ʻae ʻia he 60 km/h ma ke ala lua. Kaomi mākou i ke pihi - a lilo ka honu i ka lio heihei. Hoʻomaka ia!
BoP: ʻoi aku ma mua o 600 hp
"515 hp me ka IMSA BoP," ʻo Kevin Groot, ka luna polokalamu Ford IMSA/WEC, i haʻi mai iā mākou ma mua o ka hoʻomaka ʻana e pili ana i ka ʻae ʻana i ka mana mīkini. ʻAʻole i emi iho ma mua o ka hapalua ʻūhā, a ma ka lima ʻākau ke kiʻi nei i ka pihi Boost i ʻōlelo ʻia ma luna. I kēia manawa, hoʻomohala ka kaʻa me kahi ʻenekini waena ma mua o 600 hp. "E like me ka IMSA BoP, ʻo ke kaumaha me ka ʻole o ka pailaka a me ka wahie ʻole he 1285 kilokani," wahi a Groot.
ʻAʻole wale ʻo GT i ka hāʻawi ʻana i ka mana laina o kāna ʻāpana biturbo ikaika, akā me ke kiʻekiʻe o ka traction mechanical. Hōʻike ʻia ka ʻāpana mua o ke ala e nā huli ʻoi. Hoʻohuli ʻoe i ka huila hoʻokele i ka millimeter e komo ai, wikiwiki ʻoe ma waho o ke ala me ka traction maikaʻi - me ka GT hiki iā ʻoe ke ʻike pololei i ka laina kūpono. ʻO ka mana traction variable XNUMX-wikiwiki e maʻalahi ke kaʻa i ka GT.
Kāma Lio, NASCAR Bend, Left Hook - ʻaʻole i ʻike ʻia nā inoa o nā kihi mua e like me ka mea ʻaʻohe wahi puka pilikia ma Virginia International Raceway. I nā huaʻōlelo ʻē aʻe, inā ma nā heihei o kēia wā ua hāʻawi ʻia ka puka mai ke ala me nā wahi asphalt ākea, a laila ua like ke ala kahiko o ʻAmelika me kahi papa kolepa kiʻekiʻe. Ma kahi kokoke i ke alanui asphalt, hoʻomaka kahi māla hou i nā wahi āpau. He nani ke nānā aku, akā i ka haʻalele ʻana i ke ala e kū ʻole ia ma mua o ka hau i ka hoʻoilo.
Aloha ʻo GT i nā kihi wikiwiki
Mai noʻonoʻo kākou, akā e noʻonoʻo i ka "snake". ʻOki mālie ʻo Ford GT i nā kihi ma nā ʻaoʻao melemele-a-uliuli - ʻike ʻia kahi ao lepo ma ka hōʻike pahu kiʻi hope. ʻAʻohe hiʻohiʻona hope i kahi kaʻa heihei lōʻihi. Hoʻopili ʻia kēia e nā S-bends kiʻekiʻe.
Manakia papahana
ʻO kahi kikoʻī ʻē aʻe ʻaʻole hiki i ka simulator ke haʻi like ʻo ia ka ʻāina puʻu o ke ala holo 5,26-kilomita me ka piʻi a me lalo. Ua hana ʻo GT i kāna huakaʻi hanohano ma ke ʻano ʻokoʻa "Full Course", ʻo ia ka mea i holo ma ka moʻo IMSA ma Virginia.
ʻAʻole wale ma nā wili S-wikiwiki, ʻo ka Virginia International Raceway he ʻano like me ka North Circuit. Ma hope o ka hōʻea ʻana o ka GT i kahi wikiwiki loa ma kahi o 260 km / h ma ka huli lōʻihi lōʻihi, iho i lalo ma o ka hui ʻana i lalo o nā pio hema a ʻākau
E like me ma mua i nā S-curves, ʻano ʻokoʻa ka GT. ʻAʻole wale ka mīkini, akā ʻo ka lele aerodynamic hoʻi i ke kiʻekiʻe. Ke hoʻohālikelike ʻia i ke ʻano hoʻohālikelike heihei ʻo Mustang GT4 kokoke loa, ua ʻoi aku ka nui o ka GT ma mua o ka pāpālua o ke kaomi aerodynamic.
ʻO ka wikiwiki āu e hele ai, ʻo ka nui o ka piʻi o ka ea a ʻoi aku ka paʻa o ka GT ma ke ala. Hoʻohuli nā pūʻali centrifugal i ke kino, i nakinaki ʻia i ka noho o ka pū, a hoʻoluliluli nui i nā mākala o ka ʻāʻī. Akā, ʻoiai, ʻaʻole hiki i ka moʻolelo Le Mans o kēia wā ke hōʻole i nā kānāwai o ka physics. I kekahi manawa, hiki i ka palena ʻaneʻi.
Kumukūʻai? ʻEkolu miliona kālā
Pehea e ʻike ai ke kūpale ʻana me ka ʻole o ABS? Inā ma ka simulator kokoke i kēlā me kēia kū me nā huila i laka ʻia ke kumu o ka uahi keʻokeʻo mai lalo o nā ʻēheu, a laila i ke ola maoli ʻaʻole paʻa iki ka huila i ka neʻe ʻana o ka wikiwiki ma mua o ka huli ʻana. ʻO ka braking Braking Braking Braking Braking Braking System ʻO kēia ke kumu e hoʻomālamalama ai ka GT me ka hana braking maikaʻi loa.
Inā ʻo nā mea āpau i ʻōlelo ʻia i kēia manawa ua ala ʻoe i kou kuko no ka ʻona ʻana i ka Ford GT kaʻao, ʻaʻohe pilikia inā lōʻihi kāu mālama ʻana i nā kālā. Ma waho aʻe o ka mea lanakila o ka papa ma Le Mans 2016, kahi e mahalo ʻia e ka poʻe kipa o ka Hale Hōʻikeʻike ʻo Ford, ke kūʻai aku nei nā kaʻa heihei ʻewalu i koe no $ XNUMX miliona i kēlā me kēia.
