Car Racing without Money-Chapter 424 - 171: Mind-Blowing Driving Skills (Part 4)
minute 58 seconds 012.
minute 58 seconds 518.
Next to the faster lap time at the top, the name Chen Xiangbei appeared in pinyin letters.
The result that was a full 0.5 seconds slower belonged to the McLaren Team’s Jenson Button.
Even seeing Chen Xiangbei cross the finish line first, even seeing the rankings appear on the big screen.
The spectators still stared blankly at the big screen, mouths agape and unsure how to celebrate; it was a miracle unimaginable before the race!
"Won?"
Someone murmured hesitantly.
"Won!"
This time, it was a definite answer.
"That’s right, we won!"
Only at this moment did the eighty thousand spectators in the Bird’s Nest remember to erupt into thunderous cheers and applause.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the opening match is over, the Chinese driver Chen Xiangbei has defeated the UK team driver Jenson Button."
"This is not just a duel between two drivers, but a showdown between a new talent and a world champion!"
"Let’s give Chen Xiangbei the most enthusiastic cheers!"
Li Bing, with his slightly delayed commentary, reminded the audience to cheer for Chen Xiangbei.
The reason was the shock brought on by the results, which far exceeded the impact when Chen Xiangbei had won the championship at Grand Prix.
Chen Xiangbei not only won, he was a full 0.5 seconds faster!
Facing the deafening cheers of the crowd, Chen Xiangbei lowered his car window and waved during the victory lap.
To be honest, compared to the commentator and the spectators, he wasn’t too surprised by this result. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺
The lion uses all its strength to hunt the rabbit.
From the first corner, Chen Xiangbei realized his cornering speed was faster than Button’s.
He already anticipated that Button’s conservative driving would not win.
At the same time, Button, in another car, was filled with waves of emotion.
Back in the Brawn GP Team’s P room, Button had seen Chen Xiangbei’s F3 support race, which left a deep impression on him.
Even then, Button had a vague feeling that this Chinese kid was fast, with potential and possibility to enter the F1 Paddock.
He just never thought this Chinese kid would grow at such a remarkable speed.
In just a few months, he had already reached a level to match, or even defeat him!
Even driving a modified touring car, even if he didn’t take risks, there is still no excuse for a world champion losing to a rookie.
If the Chinese Kid were in the F1 Paddock, and possessed the same speed and adaptiveness as today, how terrifying would that be?
The future can’t be verified, as Chen Xiangbei and Button returned to the pits, followed by Han Han and the touring car king Andy heading onto the track.
The entire ROC competition cycle is only two days, meaning the pace of the event is extremely fast, almost constantly bringing excitement to the audience!
Han Han’s race result was equally unexpected, yet reasonable.
Using his specialty rally car, he defeated touring car king Andy, showing that the UK team paid the price for its "arrogance."
They thought it was a "slaughter," completely disregarding the type of racing cars, yet they never expected to be countered in such a way!
But this wasn’t the end, the scene that followed further exceeded the audience’s comprehension and imagination.
The Chinese team, deemed the weakest, accomplished a "slaughter" against the Australian team.
Han Han used the BAN PICK mode, defeating the cross-border king of motorcycles Duhan with an ROC specialty race car (super kart).
The outside world mostly knew Han Han for winning dual championships in circuit racing and rally, but they didn’t know he used to be a Formula car driver, participating in BMW Formula in Malaysia.
Duhan, in a kart, really wasn’t a match for Han Han.
As for Chen Xiangbei, he stunned the world even more.
He actually drove a rally car, using drifting to accomplish a "slaughter" against the Australian V8 world touring car champion.
The appearance of this scene overturned external perceptions.
Chen Xiangbei, the Formula car driver, unexpectedly possessed world-class rally and drifting skills; where did this kid learn his driving techniques?
Not only the spectators present, but even the competing professional opponents felt they needed to re-evaluate the Chinese team.
The two Chinese drivers seemed highly capable across the board, unexpectedly possessing true cross-border all-round attributes, as though they could drive any racing car!
