"Her name is Chen Yunzhi. Her family runs an advertising company. I invited her because our family has a cooperative relationship. I heard she's a good driver. She just bought that Panamera last month."
He Jiawen told Xia Yu all the information he knew. In the morning's training match, he also found that he seemed to be unable to beat the opponent, so now he placed all his hopes on Xia Yu.
"Just changed it? Is that the latest model?"
"Yes, the 2017 Panamera Turbo Sport Turismo, with a 4.0T twin-turbocharged V8 engine, has 550 horsepower, which is plenty of power."
Compared with Xia Yu, He Jiawen knows all the car parameters like the back of his hand. Although he prefers Mercedes-Benz, it does not prevent him from having an in-depth understanding of Porsche.
Both are original cars without any modifications. This 4.0T Panamera has the same displacement as the GTR, but it has 35 less horsepower and its acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h is 0.3 seconds slower, but this is not a big disadvantage.
Racing is not only about the performance of the car, but also the skills of the driver. Otherwise, wouldn't it be easy to decide the winner by just comparing everyone's configurations? Why bother with all this trouble?
In addition, the key to winning or losing today lies in these bends on the mountain.
You should know that on the mountain, Toyota 86 can beat GTR, and the Panamera of the same level can also beat AMG GTR.
"I understand. Thank you, Lao He."
After some interaction, Xia Yu no longer called him Mr. He, but just called him Lao He like everyone else, which sounded more friendly.
"They are all trivial matters. Let's go eat first and then study them in the afternoon after we are full."
As He Jiawen spoke, the group arrived at the main building of the B&B.
At noon, the kitchen prepared a table full of delicious dishes, including old duck soup that had been simmered for more than two hours, as well as wild vegetables and mushrooms from the mountains.
There is no wild game. Only the nouveau riche eat that. Not only does it taste bad, it can also spread viruses. No one wants to join in the fun.
Because driving on mountain roads requires more concentration, everyone has consumed a lot of energy in the morning training session. Besides being tired, they are also hungry. Now that so many dishes are served, everyone is eating with relish.
Xia Yu was also busy preparing his meal, but at this moment an acquaintance came over.
"Brother Xia, a few of us bachelors have made an appointment to go to the hot springs together tonight. Why don't you come too?"
Lu Zhou lowered his voice and spoke, as if he was afraid of being heard by others.
"Just taking a hot spring bath? There are no other activities!"
Xia Yu did not agree directly. Some things had to be made clear in advance. He only took baths in regular hot springs.
Ning City is close to the sea, but because it is mountainous, it has rich geothermal resources, so there are many hot springs in Siming Mountain. It is a rare trip here, and Xia Yu also wants to take a bath in it.
"No, I'm so tired from driving, I don't have the energy to do anything stupid. I just want to take a bath and get a back massage or something."
Lu Zhou quickly denied it. He just didn't expect that this little brother was so self-disciplined.
"Okay, count me in. Are you going, Lao He?"
"He's not going. He wants to be with his girlfriend."
He Jiawen's girlfriend also came this time, but she couldn't stand racing, so she didn't sit in the car. She stood on the side of the road and used the radio to report on the road conditions.
After confirming that Xia Yu would participate in the operation, Lu Zhou didn't say anything else. If he wanted to say anything, he could leave it until the evening.
There weren't many people soaking in the hot springs, so it was a good opportunity to chat.
After dinner, we went back to the house to rest for an hour, and then we gathered in the parking lot and headed up the mountain together.
Compared with the training match in the morning, this time it was serious. The originally relaxed atmosphere now became tense, and the radio remained silent for a rare time.
When we got there, everyone parked their cars in the parking strip and gathered together.
"Although the mountain road here is wide, it's still too crowded for eight cars to run together. Let's split into twos and compete in groups!"
He Jiawen explained the rules of the competition.
They originally had ten cars, but the last two in the morning training race saw that their results were too poor and did not want to embarrass themselves, so they voluntarily withdrew and planned to be the audience cheering 666.
The remaining eight cars can be divided into four groups in twos. The group competition does not mean to determine four cars from the four groups, but rather one group of two cars against another group of two cars.
This means that four cars are put into the game at once, and the advancement of each group is determined by the team performance. In this way, the winner can be determined in just two rounds and three races.
After all, today is a team competition. Individuals can shine, but the final result will still be based on the two of them, just like when Xia Yu sang with his senior classmates yesterday.
Of course, it is also possible to race two cars at a time, but that is too cumbersome. Three rounds and seven races are required in one afternoon, and the flowers will wither by then.
Forming a team is a free choice. Xia Yu is of course in the GTR group with He Jiawen, and the others also form teams with friends they are familiar with.
After the four teams are lined up, the next step is to draw lots and draw your opponents first.
Xia Yu's group sent He Jiawen as their representative and drew the second place, which means they were the second to participate in the competition.
If Chen Yunzhi had drawn the second B position, then this round would have decided the outcome, but her opponent happened to be Lu Zhou.
Looks like I need to warm up first!
At the starting point, four cars were parked two abreast, with each group arranged in a front-and-back configuration. Shen Yunzhi volunteered to line up at the back, seemingly very confident in herself.
Of course, most of the people present are not even amateurs, and the advantages of car performance have been reduced to the same starting line by the mountain roads. How good you are depends on how many tires you burn on a regular basis.
He Jiawen has dabbled in both racetracks and mountain roads, but he has only burned about five or six pairs of tires, so he can drift, but his drifting is a bit ugly, unlike Chen Yunzhi or Xia Yu.
