Why race if you don’t have money?

Chapter 44 Whose home field is it?
"Principal Wang, if Chen Xiangbei drives a Ferrari 550 GT, is there a chance he could break the track record?"

Hearing Ye Yong's sudden question, Wang Xiao was stunned for a moment, then nodded with a complicated expression and said, "It's very likely."

After getting this answer, Ye Yong rushed out of the P room without any hesitation. If he didn't seize the opportunity to recruit such a talented driver now, when would he?
As soon as Chen Xiangbei got out of the car on the track, he was met with a bear hug from Liang Chi. The other party's intimate behavior gave him goose bumps all over his body, and he quickly pushed Lao Deng away and kept a distance.

"Boy, you ran well. You got 70% of what I taught you."

Liang Chi was in a very good mood and returned to his usual frivolous nature.

Especially when Chen Xiangbei finally crossed the finish line in the lead, he felt proud when he saw Zhang Zhicong's astonished expression.

Reason is not absolutely equivalent to correctness. Facts have proved that this world still needs the existence of ideals. Persistence will lead to miracles!

Chen Xiangbei didn't have the energy to joke with Liang Chi. After he took off his helmet, his cheeks were covered with dense beads of sweat.

To be honest, the intensity of this lap was beyond his previous expectations, and it also reached the current limit of his body.

Take the helmet worn by Chen Xiangbei as an example. It is an ordinary fiberglass helmet provided by the Volkswagen 222 team and weighs about 2.5KG.

It looks like it weighs only a few pounds, not too exaggerated.

In fact, under the influence of lateral G-forces when cornering, the weight of the helmet can be multiplied several times. Imagine what it's like to have a weight of more than ten pounds tugging on your head and neck, not to mention the extremely delicate control Chen Xiangbei had to perform.

If it weren't for the shoulder and neck muscle training in the past one or two months, Chen Xiangbei and Han Han's competition would not have reached the level of a car racing competition. The weight of the helmet alone would have been enough to crush him.

This is why, the more advanced the driver, the higher the physical fitness requirements.

At present, Chen Xiangbei has only been driving at a speed of 130km/h and going through a steep curve, which has already squeezed the limit of his body's ability to withstand pressure.

The F1 record at the 130R corner of the Silverstone Circuit reached an astonishing cornering speed of 332km/h, and the average lateral G value was as high as 5.2G.

Remember, this is just an average. The highest lateral G-force at the Suzuka Circuit has exceeded 6.1G!

From this we can see that Chen Xiangbei still has a long way to go if he wants to return to his peak or even surpass his former peak.

Han Han sat in the driver's seat of the Volkswagen POLO, watching Liang Chi run over to congratulate Chen Xiangbei, and felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.

As the newly crowned CCC national champion, he lost on a familiar track to a rookie high school student who had never run professionally.

To be honest, this kind of blow can easily break a person's moral integrity.

After all, Han Han had been training professionally for eight years and thought he was at the top of the country, but when he looked back, he found that there were always better places.

Of course, Han Han could also make up a false excuse, such as being careless or not trying his best.

But he didn't want to lie to himself. At least in the second half of the race, Han Han knew that he had given 100% of his strength, but still couldn't stop Chen Xiangbei's final overtaking.

After taking a few deep breaths, Han Han calmed his turbulent emotions, then opened the car door and got out.

Just like the famous saying goes, even if you lose the game, you still have life.

He doesn't want to be a person who can't afford to lose. He wins with integrity and loses with openness.

After getting off the car, Han Han came to Chen Xiangbei and congratulated him: "Xiangbei, I lost. You really have top racing talent as Liang Gong said." Han Han once questioned Liang Chi's words, that is, Chen Xiangbei has racing talent that surpasses Cheng Congfu.

Facts have proved that Liang Chi did not exaggerate or lie. The control that Chen Xiangbei demonstrated on the track today has completely reached the level of a talented driver.

The most important point is that Han Han saw Chen Xiangbei's turning line in the rearview mirror. The technique of riding on the shoulder of the road to cut corners at an extreme level is an extremely standard operation of a Formula One driver.

You should know that most touring car drivers will never take this kind of route. It’s not that they can’t do it, but the downforce of an touring car is far less than that of a formula car, and riding on the curb can easily cause the wheels to slip.

This is like an ordinary person driving a car on a rainy day. If he drives over the white and yellow lines painted on the road, the grip will be much lower than that on asphalt roads.

Unless you are extremely familiar with the Formula One racing lines on this track, there will be small rubber particles dropped from the wheels on the shoulder, just like ruts. Over time, the grip of this shoulder will be greatly improved when passing the curve.

RV drivers have never been there, so they naturally don’t know and don’t dare to try.

Chen Xiangbei took this route, and no matter if he was confident or it was an accident, he succeeded anyway. Isn't this genius?
"Thank you, you are awesome too."

Chen Xiangbei praised him, but that didn't mean he was being modest.

Instead, Chen Xiangbei originally intended to leave Han Han behind by at least one second, but in the end the two cars crossed the finish line almost side by side, proving that Han Han, the newly crowned champion of the 08 CCC, was stronger than he expected.

Of course, Chen Xiangbei would not say these words out loud, as they were really too discouraging.

In response to Chen Xiangbei's "polite words", Han Han showed a wry smile on his face.

Then he asked, "Chen Xiangbei, there's something I'm really curious about. How do you know the alignment of a Formula One car?"

In the end, Han Han couldn't suppress the doubts in his heart. He wanted to lose clearly.

"I learned this from playing games and watching competitions. It was just a fluke."

This time Chen Xiangbei made a small excuse. The truth was that he had run Formula One training here, and he was probably as familiar with every curve and line on the track as Han Han.

Again, even if Chen Xiangbei has the strength of a quasi-F1 level driver, he is not a god either. He has no problem crushing ordinary street or professional drivers on tracks or mountain roads that he has never driven on.

He wanted to rely on the physique of a high school student and the inferior performance of his car to crush the national champion who often races on the Haizhu International Circuit. The difference in driving skills between the two sides was actually not that big.

In fact, there is a misunderstanding in the thinking of Che Laoquan or Han Han. They think that since they are professional drivers, the racetrack is their home court, and it is natural for them to beat Chen Xiangbei, a high school student.

In fact, it’s still unclear whose home turf this is…

Did you know it from playing games or watching competitions?
Chen Xiangbei's answer stirred up waves again in Han Han's suppressed emotions.

Chen Xiangbei easily mastered the cornering line of a Formula One car, which he had never been able to try in his eight years of professional racing.

Is the gap between people so big?
Just when Han Han didn't know what to say, Ye Yong, the manager of the Volkswagen 222 team, had already run to Chen Xiangbei.

He extended his hand and said straight to the point, "Student Chen Xiangbei, I'm Ye Yong, the manager of the Volkswagen 222 team. I'm wondering if you're interested in becoming a professional driver?"

PS: Brothers who have monthly tickets can vote for me, thank you.
