Chapter 98 Car Accident and Unease
Looking for some fun?
As a professional rally driver, Ryuichi Kijima couldn't possibly be unaware of what this meant.
Rally racing has always been considered one of the most dangerous sporting events because its routes encompass a variety of winding and complex mountain roads, including rainforests, mud, snow, and deserts.
During a race, at least one-third of the vehicles will be involved in accidents, such as rollovers, which are commonplace.
For this reason, Ryuichi Iruma, also a professional racer, like every other racer, has a racing suit worth over a million yen to deal with various situations, and has also developed the habit of wearing it whenever he participates in a race.
Therefore, he might as well do some underhanded things if conditions allow.
"It costs more."
Without hesitation, Ryuichi Gijō presented his conditions.
As expected, the other party readily agreed.
Upon receiving a clear answer, Ryuichi Kijima was also invigorated. He glanced at the rearview mirror, looked at the RX-7 that was relentlessly pursuing him, and sighed: "We have no grudges against each other, and I never intended to do anything to you, but since they've paid for it, you can only blame your bad luck."
At the same time, Junichi Se, who was driving the Rx-7, raised an eyebrow slightly, noticing the change in the vehicle in front of him.
He was surprised to find that he was losing control of the other car's taillights.
If before this, the opponent only relied on the performance of the Evo3 to expand their advantage when exiting corners, now perhaps the opponent has truly shown the strength of a professional race car driver.
Whenever a car approaches a bend, the driver will use a lateral drift to navigate the bend and use the drift's momentum to save time on the straightaway. This greatly compensates for the shortcomings of racing against cars with much higher power on straightaways.
That's right, it's exactly the same cornering technique that Junichi Sei always uses.
While ensuring maximum horsepower, it can accelerate immediately after exiting the corner without any unnecessary deceleration, completing the corner in the shortest possible time.
The roads on Mount Akina are notoriously steep, and even though many people want to use this technique to navigate the curves, they dare not risk their lives.
The maximum speed means that there can be no mistakes. Once a mistake is made, it means the car will be destroyed and people will die. The braking system simply cannot withstand the power inertia of an Evo3 that has been modified to reach a speed of 255 km/h.
Using the same technique, Junichi Sei's quick entry into corners loses its advantage, while the Evo3's acceleration performance when exiting corners will be further enhanced.
As a professional race car driver, even the slightest advantage is enough to be fully utilized.
Junichi Sei, realizing this, remained calm, because from the beginning he had no intention of overtaking before the five hairpin U-turns appeared.
The entire road on Mount Akina has drainage ditches, but their effectiveness is maximized only on the five consecutive hairpin U-turns.
No matter how skilled you are, it's impossible to maintain your speed when faced with such steep, continuous sharp turns.
However, slowing down means a significant reduction in power.
But for Junichi Sei, who had mastered the technique of navigating the bends of the drainage ditch, this became the key to his invincibility, because he did not need to slow down.
Even with the slope and friction of the drainage ditch, the car's undercarriage suction force can be enhanced dramatically. Under such circumstances, even if Junichi Sei steps on the accelerator to the floor, the car will not be thrown off the road due to the centrifugal force generated by the inertial tail drift.
This is also why Junichi Sei doesn't consider using his own R8, because the power is too strong, and even the drainage ditch can't save it.
On the contrary, the RX-7, with a power difference of nearly 100 km/h, can play its greatest role on such roads.
...
"Saeko-nee, Rx-7 has fallen behind."
At this moment, Tayumi Shinoe, who had received information from the traffic officer, looked at Saeko Busujima with a serious expression.
"It was still too much of a stretch."
"They're professional players, after all. Is there any comparison?"
Ade and Mitsui finally seized their opportunity and made a few sarcastic remarks.
Saeko Busujima glanced at the two of them, remaining remarkably calm, and said indifferently, "Have you bent over by the fifth hairpin yet?"
Tayumi Shinoe shook her head: "We're almost there."
Upon hearing this, Saeko Busujima's expression became even more relaxed.
Only by sparring with someone can you know how terrifying their strength will be once they have that drainage channel that enhances suction power, and how they will unleash their power in that winding hairpin bend.
However, the moment Saeko Busujima's thought crossed her mind, Tayumi Shinoe, who was standing next to her, seemed to have suddenly heard something, and her expression changed drastically: "What?!"
Everyone was drawn to her commotion, and Saeko Busujima frowned, asking, "What happened?"
Tayumi Shinoe said with a sullen look, "There was a car accident!"
"???"
Saeko Busujima's expression stiffened, and the next second she coldly swept her gaze towards someone: "Mr. Hondo, what do you mean by this?"
Upon hearing the sound, Hondo Isao seemed to belatedly realize what was happening and asked curiously, "Miss Busujima, what's wrong? Is there some misunderstanding?"
Saeko Busujima's face was terribly grim. As the captain of her own racing team, she couldn't believe that the other party hadn't known the news.
Moreover, with two racers, one a professional and the other possessing equally impressive driving skills, the probability of an accident occurring without oncoming traffic is extremely low.
Saeko Busujima would never believe it was just an accident.
Hondo Isao, seeing that he couldn't hide it any longer, said calmly, "Racing is inherently risky, and it's understandable if something unexpected happens. If the accident happens to our side, I won't blame them at all."
"It'd better everyone be alright, otherwise, this isn't over." Saeko Busujima said coldly, then turned and snatched the walkie-talkie from Tayumi Shinoe's hand.
In fact, given the other party's status and the fact that it was authorized by his family, Saeko Busujima should not have clashed with him.
But after hearing the news about that guy's predicament, Saeko Busujima couldn't help but feel agitated.
Even with toys, only you have the right to dispose of them; no one else has the right!
After dismissing Saeko Busujima, Hondo Isao looked at Kaori Ogasawara with a forced smile and asked, "What's wrong, Ogasawara? Are you feeling unwell again?"
At this moment, Ogasawara was biting her thumb nail tightly with her small mouth, looking very worried.
When Hondo Isao asked her, she forced a smile: "No, I just think racing is too dangerous."
Hondo Isao sneered inwardly, his words carrying a double meaning: "Pursuing excitement comes at a price, and what I set my sights on, no one can take away from me."
Upon hearing this, Ogasawara Kaori's expression immediately stiffened. She wasn't sure if it was just her imagination, but she had a feeling that the other person seemed to know something.
But at that moment, someone's safety was constantly on her mind.
Even though I've decided to ignore this liar, I can't help but think about him all the time.
She hates this feeling!
