The circuit was 433 kilometers long.
"What?!"
Shen Qi rubbed his eyes and checked the circuit length again.
433 kilometers...
A rally?!
Chapter 710: Rally
Gujī?!
Dodo, who was also looking at the group assignments, gave a little hop.
He could not understand why the circuit was over four hundred kilometers long.
"This one's a rally."
Shen Qi explained.
Rallies were often astonishingly long, with a total distance that could reach several thousand kilometers, divided into numerous stages with some distance covered each day.
They tested a racing driver's endurance and health, consistency behind the wheel, and the car's reliability.
Even short rallies covered several hundred kilometers in a single run, like the one Shen Qi had drawn.
Dodo expressed his confusion...
There won't be enough energy.
An economical, energy-efficient sedan could travel 500 kilometers on a full charge, but race entrants would naturally be driving race cars.
Rotary engines consumed enormous amounts of energy, and other race cars were not much better.
Some high-horsepower vehicles even had superchargers installed, requiring additional energy to drive the turbine.
Even a design like the Rainbow Flying Sword, which had been optimized for energy efficiency, also had a smaller energy reservoir-the equivalent of a smaller fuel tank-and likewise could not last through a race of over 400 kilometers.
"There'll definitely be supply points along the way."
Rallies provided supply points, repair points, and food and drinks.
Nobody wanted to spend so much time stopping to recharge during a race. Swapping out the energy blocks in the reservoir took only a few minutes, but every second counted in a race, let alone several minutes.
Energy was not the only concern. The tires might also need changing, depending on the strategies adopted for different cars.
"I didn't expect to draw this kind of stage."
