Chapter 254 If the car isn't good, the skills will make up for it
Two race cars with vastly different power levels were parked at the starting line.
With the countdown to the start signal at its last second, the red signal light turned green, and the two race cars roared off like a strong gust of wind!
The entire outdoor racing track connects to a considerable area in the suburbs, and it would take about half an hour to complete the entire course at speeds of over 100 mph.
The road has three curves, including an S-curve, two uphill sections, and passes through hilly areas, gravel roads, and muddy roads. Snow is constantly being cleared from the road, preventing it from burying the road.
Such a short track is child's play for Wen Ni.
However, the performance of the rented race car is indeed limited. On such roads, technology is not the most important factor; what is tested more is the performance of the modified vehicle!
As a result, by the time Wen Ni was almost at the finish line, Zhou Tian'ao had already pulled ahead by about 100 meters.
"If the car isn't good enough, then I'll have to make up for it with my skills!"
Wen Ni's lips curled up slightly, her eyes gleaming with an unwavering determination to win, and she slammed the steering wheel shut!
The car body suddenly swung backward, using the rear of the car to climb the slope.
"What is she trying to do?" Zhou Tian'ao saw the trajectory of Wen Ni's car behind him in the rearview mirror. He was surprised and nervous, and sweat broke out on his forehead.
He couldn't be sure whether it was Wen Ni's own operation or the vehicle's aging and loss of control!
Instinctively, I reached out and connected to the safety officer's line!
"We're going close to 200 miles per hour! I need you to check on the driver of the car behind us!"
"Okay, we'll verify it now."
The safety officer agreed and immediately connected to the communication signal on the vehicle!
"Driver of vehicle 3A6! This is security station number 07. We are here to confirm the vehicle's safety and whether you were the one operating the vehicle's trajectory!"
"Driver of car 3A6! Can you hear me?!"
"3A6...beep!"
Inside the 3A6, Wen Ni held the steering wheel with one hand and used the other to turn off the communicator on the control panel!
It's so noisy.
A shadow crossed the usually bright eyes beneath the helmet!
The moment the rear of the car swung up the slope to its highest point, the accelerator was pressed all the way down in just a few seconds!
The sudden acceleration, along with the added power from the downhill slope, caused the car to accelerate abruptly.
The speed exceeded the maximum limit that the car's tires could withstand.
Sparks flew as the rubber rubbed against the ground, and the vehicle sped toward the finish line, leaving behind a trail of flames that seemed about to ignite, burning and dropping black residue!
"What? How could this be..."
"Oh my god, this is too dangerous! Everyone get out of the way!"
On both sides of the finish line, onlookers were urgently evacuated.
With only ten meters left to the finish line, Wen Ni drove her 3A6 past Zhou Tian'ao!
Sparks and lightning streaked all the way.
The moment she slammed on the brakes, a plume of black smoke billowed from the hood! The tires on all four wheels looked like they'd been chewed by a dog, and even the rims were a bluish-black tinge!
Zhou Tian'ao crossed the finish line shortly after, and he stopped behind her, his eyes filled with indescribable shock!
“Clatter.”
The driver's side door of the 3A6 opened from the inside, then shattered with a bang and fell to the ground!
A soft gasp escaped the crowd.
Then, long, slender legs emerged from the car, stepping onto the door and gracefully stepping out.
"Are you out of your mind?" Zhou Tian'ao rushed over.
“This is an extreme sport. The moment you start driving a race car, your life becomes one with the car! So, from the very beginning, I never intended to leave myself any room for error!” Wen Ni said with a cold and arrogant expression.
"It was just a practice race, and you actually chose such an extreme suicidal driving to beat me! It's a pity you only beat me by two seconds! In the real race, I won't give you any chance to beat me!" Zhou Tian'ao raised a finger, his eyes red.
He never expected to lose to a newcomer to the track, even though the opponent won by a narrow margin and at great risk!
"The Chinese people will never lose to the Japanese, at any time or in any place, even at the cost of their lives!"
Wen Ni glanced at him lazily, threw out a cold remark, and turned to leave!
Zhou Tian'ao was taken aback.
"What did Wen Ni mean by that just now?!" Gao Yang was the first to react, and she quickly ran to Zhou Tian'ao!
Faced with her questioning, Zhou Tian'ao's eyes darted away, and his tone became somewhat weak, "Gao Yang, actually, let me explain..."
"What explanation do you have?! Explain why you didn't represent China but represented Japan instead?!" Gao Yang's eyes widened, his anger blazing. "You're the only one in China with the best chance of winning the championship! And now you're telling me that, right before the competition, you've sided with Japan and are even helping them fight against China!"
“No, I, Gao Yang…” Zhou Tian’ao tried to explain, but then gave up. He was also filled with grievances. “That’s right! It’s exactly what you said, but so what? You don’t understand me at all. Nobody knows that in China, if I don’t win a championship, I have no chance to make it! What’s the difference between me and those third-rate drivers? But the Japanese are willing to give me more money and better treatment, so why can’t I choose them and compete for them?”
"China has given you the best! Traitor! I have nothing to say to someone like you!" Gao Yang and Qian Duo angrily turned and left!
Only Zizi remained where she was. She smiled at Tian Ao with relief and said, "Gao Yang has always been like this, she doesn't empathize with others. You don't need to pay attention to her words in a fit of anger!"
"Thank you, Zizi." Zhou Tian'ao sighed.
As they left, Zhou Tian'ao stood there lost in thought.
A figure came over and patted him on the shoulder...
"Zhou Tian'ao".
"Mr. Senbon?"
"You don't need to pay attention to what they think. The day you become the champion, not only them, but even more people will be willing to flatter you and fawn over you! Only the one who wins first place can be understood by everyone, you understand?"
"Yes, Mr. Senbon, I will definitely win the championship!"
Three days later
North City International ScBA3 Season, World Racing Championship Day!
International Sports Center Spectator Area
The semi-circular, egg-shaped indoor viewing area was already packed!
The previously noisy and chaotic atmosphere in the stands fell silent the moment the event host's voice came through the loudspeaker.
"Hello everyone! I'm Zhao Dabao, the host of the ScBA3 season's Ice and Snow Cup Racing Championship! Next to me are the international representatives, Siri (the foreign language commentator), and Dou Dou (a top-tier Chinese commentator). I believe those who frequently follow motorsports will be familiar with us and know that we are old friends of yours!"
"Let's skip the pleasantries and have Brother Dou explain the general rules of this competition!"
"Okay, host." DouDou's voice came through the microphone clearly. "In this competition, a total of 30 racers from different countries will start in 6 batches, with each batch starting 10 minutes apart. The racer who crosses the finish line in the shortest time and completes the entire course will be the champion of this international race!"
