My Formula 1 System-Chapter 388: S2 British GP. 3
[Retrieving pitstop info...]
[Service Time: 1.91 seconds]
[Front Tires: Intermediate → Soft]
[Rear Tires: Intermediate→ Soft]
1.91 seconds—now that was a commendable stop. Even as the memory of the 1.80 from the last race flashed through his head, this was still something to be proud of.
But time in the pits is never just the service, it's the whole process. And by the time Luca had fully exited just the pitbox, he had already spent a total of 7 seconds away from racing speed. His lead was hanging by a thread now. The driver in P2 was already thundering toward the pitlane's exit, ready to snatch away the throne.
And sure enough, Elias Nyström was now firmly in P2. Luigi, just out of the pits and still wrestling with cold tires, couldn't hold him off. Nyström surged past confidently, leaving Luigi behind to face the wrath that was storming forward.
**Elias is closing in fast—he's got pace, Luca. Be ready when you merge back in** fгeewebnovёl.com
"...FROM P7, ELIAS NYSTRÖM IS WRITING A FAIRYTALE OF HIS OWN OUT HERE!" The commentator couldn't hold back the thrill.
"...From the shadows of the grid into the fight for the lead—this is the rise of a man who refused to be forgotten! And now, he's only one car away from tasting the air at the top!"
—Wrenches: 1 ]
"It's true. I got a Wrench from winning pole position on Thursday. I planned to use it in this race for the same Sync Buff plan as well."
Luca thought about which to use the Wrench on. Should it be Yaw Flex or Gripper? Either of them would add a single bar to the Sync Bar, so it came down to which one he preferred more in this situation.
However, as he thought deeper on the dynamics of Cs & Ws, Luca's eyes widened as he realized he had just discovered a major loophole in the system's functioning.
The system had once explained that 1 Wrench equals 3 Catalysts and vice versa. They were two different entities: one for his personal arsenal, and the other for the car's. It reminded him of school, mostly economics—about trade, and how certain currencies lose or gain value when converted into another, possibly because of what commodities could be bought with them or something close.
Here, Luca realized that if he used just (1) Wrench on a Car Skill, he would get just a single addition to the Sync Bar.
However, if he converted that (1) Wrench to (3) Catalysts and used them on Self Skills, he would get THREE additions to the Sync Bar.
"How amazing!"
[That is a brilliant inference, host! Your mind races just as fast as your car!]
