Car Racing without Money-Chapter 467 - 185: F1 Bahrain Season Opener (Part 3)

Zhou Chenshu happily agreed. He had long wanted to witness the real manufacturing scene of F1 racing cars and see Chen Xiangbei as a professional driver.

To be honest, up until today, his feelings about Chen Xiangbei transitioning to a professional driver felt just as surreal as Chen Xiangbei watching him ride a motorcycle, filled with a sense of unfamiliarity.

After all, Chen Xiangbei hadn’t seen Wang Yanjing for over half a year, during which a lot could have happened.

In comparison, Wang Yanjing felt that Chen Xiangbei had just raced a few laps around Nanyun Mountain and suddenly transformed into a Formula driver.

The process was so rapid, it was like he had become a different person.

Today, he could finally witness Chen Xiangbei’s professional side, and hopefully, it would change his perception.

As the two walked into the Lifield Technology Center, Wang Yanjing suddenly thought of something.

"By the way, Xiangbei, do you know that Dong Yuanxi came to the United Kingdom?"

"I didn’t know."

Chen Xiangbei shook his head. After Dong Yuanxi left Australia early that day, the two hadn’t had a chance to meet.

"She was accepted into the University of London, and it seems she enrolled at the beginning of October. Our teacher even posted congratulations in the class group, didn’t you see it?"

"I haven’t had the time to look at that."

Chen Xiangbei hadn’t even had time to check the class group chat; during the off-season, he was training intensively for up to ten hours, barely having time to look at his phone.

"Skipping a grade" is like a lower-grade student needing to learn all the upper-grade content in a short time, plus Chen Xiangbei had never crossed the F1 threshold in his past life, so it’s like learning everything anew.

"Xiangbei, I feel like Dong Yuanxi might like you."

Zhou Chenshu secretly stated.

He didn’t know about Dong Yuanxi coming to Australia, nor about the private interactions between Chen Xiangbei and her; to Zhou Chenshu, it was more like discovering a little secret.

"How did you get that impression?"

"She actually had many choices, and the teacher also recommended her to go to the United States, yet she ended up coming to the United Kingdom."

"Moreover, Dong Yuanxi, as a girl, chose Mechanical Engineering and is even pursuing STEM courses; it’s simply outrageous!"

Dong Yuanxi choosing Mechanical Engineering?

Hearing this from Zhou Chenshu, Chen Xiangbei was a bit surprised, as he was just learning about courses related to aerodynamics and racing engineering.

In this era, it’s indeed rare for girls to choose such hardcore engineering disciplines.

Before Chen Xiangbei could ask more questions, Liang Chi happened to walk out from the workshop. Zhou Chenshu, considered his "online" disciple, was filled with joy upon meeting again; the two started talking about recent events.

In the next month or two, Zhou Chenshu stayed at HRT Team’s headquarters, diligently learning about racing from Liang Chi and Bob Bell.

At the same time, he truly saw the side of Chen Xiangbei as a professional driver, with high-intensity fitness training, long hours of simulator practice, and using spare time to study theoretical knowledge.

At this moment, Zhou Chenshu understood why Chen Xiangbei could become an F1 driver in such a short time.

Hard work does pay off in the end.

By mid-February, with the start of the new F1 season, HRT Team moved its entire operation to Bahrain, and Zhou Chenshu reluctantly left.

As the plane landed, Chen Xiangbei led the HRT team members to Bahrain International Airport, and as soon as he walked out of the arrivals gate, he was surrounded by a dense crowd.

This time, Chen Xiangbei was no longer just a background of an F1 driver, nor was he the unknown small role.

He had become the focal point of the new F1 season!
