Njengoko usazi, uToyota wasimema ukuba size kwi-Spa-Francorchamps ukuze sifumane ii-ins kunye nokuphuma kwi-World Endurance Championship (WEC). Njengoko ndibhala le migca, iToyota TS040 HYBRID ilwa ebaleni… masiyazi ngcono.
I-Vrum, i-vrum kunye ne-vrum eninzi. Kuhle ukukhathazwa yingxolo yoomatshini abangaphezulu kwe-1000hp njengoko ndinibhalela nonke. Phi? Ngokuthe ngqo kwi-mythical Circuit de Spa-Francorchamp - dammit, ejonge phezulu kwekhompyutheni ndiyabona i-Raidillon / Eau Rouge curves. Epic! Khange kubelula kum ukugxila, ndiyavuma.
Mandikuxelele yonke into eyenzekayo ngeenxa zonke kum: kukho iinjineli kuyo yonke indawo esebenzayo; iintatheli zibhala ngokubhuduzela; i-pit-babes strolling (nangona ingaphantsi kwezinye iintlelo); iimoto zokhuphiswano ezibaleka ngaphezulu kwe-300km/h; kwaye ngokuqinisekileyo, ukugqiba i-bouquet, ivumba le-adrenaline kunye nerabha etshiswe ngumoya ihlasela iimvakalelo zam.
EZIQHELEKILEYO: I-backstage kwi-WEC kwi-Spa-Francorchamp kunye ne-Ledger Automobile
Okwangoku, njengoko ndibhala le migca, i-Toyota TS040 HYBRID ilwa imfazwe yeeyure ezi-6 kunye ne-Porsche 919 Hybrid kunye ne-Audi R18 e-tron. Ndize eSpa-Francorchamps ukuze ndimazi ngcono, kodwa iToyota TS040 Hybrid ayikame emingxunyeni ibulise. Ndiyazi ukuba akukho xesha lokuchitha kukhuphiswano, ngoko ke niyaxolisa.
Mhlawumbi nje ukuphikisana noko ndikubhalileyo, u-Anthony Davidson kunye no-Sébastien Buemi we-Toyota TS040 HYBRID ngoku baye bayeka emigodini. Yangena ngaphandle kokwenza isandi, kwimodi yombane ye-100%. Utshintshe abaqhubi wemka kwakhona ekwimowudi yombane ukuya kumzila. Iyamangalisa indlela irhamncwa elingaphezu kwe-1000hp elinokuthi cwaka ngayo. Amarhamncwa amakhulu anje, athule-nangona kolu hlelo lwe-6h ye-Spa-Francorchamp, yiPorsche 919 Hybrid ezingela ukhuphiswano…
Ukuphila, i-TS040 iyamangalisa kuzo zonke iindawo zokujonga. Ukuphithizela kwemini yogqatso akuzange kundivumele ukuba ndisondele kuye, kodwa nokuba umgama oziimitha ezili-10 uyambona ukuba ukhethekile kangakanani. Alithandabuzeki elokuba seyenye imodeli eyazalelwa kwizakhiwo ze-TOYOTA Motorsport GmbH, icandelo lophawu lwaseJapan oluzinze eJamani kwaye laphuhlisa ezona zithuthi ziphambili zokhuphiswano zakwaToyota, ukusuka kwiindibano ukuya kwiFomula 1.
Kuzo zonke, iToyota TS040 HYBRID yeyona nto inzima kakhulu. Yiprototype yodidi lwe-LMP1 ene-carbon chassis, enikwe amandla yi-injini ye-3.7 litre ye-V8 ekwazi ukuphuhlisa ngaphezu kwe-500hp. Ukuncedisa ukusebenza kweli candelo, sifumana inkqubo yombane eyenziwe ngeenjini ezimbini zombane eziqhutywa yi-capacitor ephezulu. Iziphumo ezidibeneyo? Ngaphezulu kwe-1000hp yamandla.
Umceli mngeni omkhulu kukubeka zonke ezi nkqubo ukuba zisebenze ngaxeshanye, kangangeeyure eziliqela, ngendlela ethembekileyo, eqhubekayo nezinzileyo kugqatso oluthi lunyamezelo kodwa oko kungaphezulu koko: kukubaleka! I-6h sprint, apho abaqhubi kunye noomatshini banika konke. Ndiyabona xa bedlula apha, iprogress yenziwa ngumntu ongenzi concessions kwi material. Isiqhelo esilungileyo somdyarho wokugqibela: i-24h yeLe Mans.
Ukufumana uluvo olugwenxa malunga nesantya se-LMP1 prototypes eSpa-Francorchamp, masikhumbule ukuba iToyota TS040 Hybrid yaphumelela kulo mdyarho kunyaka ophelileyo, ithatha i-1,198km kumyinge wama-200km/h.
Namathela kwiinkcukacha zobugcisa. Ukuba unokundixolela, ndiza kuyivala ikhompyutha. Andikwazi ukuqhubeka ndikrobe kwiscreen, ngenene kufuneka ndiyokubona ugqatso!
