Chapter 598 598. Not an opponent
Xu Jia was sitting in the Subaru GE cockpit, looking at the F430GT3 in front of him expressionlessly.

He didn't know that he had attracted the attention of everyone, but even if he knew it, Xu Jia wouldn't be surprised. This exhibition match is destined to be his showtime!

Just like Xu Jia once ran on the Donghai International Circuit, he was able to show his strongest strength and press Volkswagen 222 professional driver He Lei to the ground and rub him hard.

The Ao Island Coloane Circuit was the same place he ran in when he was racing karts in his previous life. Even the street Grand Prix, Xu Jia was not absent!
The latest braking point here, the fastest cornering line, where the apex of the bend is, and what the maximum cornering speed is, Xu Jia knows no less than these Hong Kong Island local riders.

They always thought that Xu Jia was a country bumpkin from the mainland, but little did they know that this "country bumpkin" knew this track better than they did!
The person driving the F430 was a driver from Hong Kong. He looked at the Subaru GE popping out of the rearview mirror, and there was even a hint of panic on his face.

Because as a professional driver, he naturally understands what it means to overtake him on the narrow track of the Coloane in just three laps.

Not to mention that the people running the exhibition race here today are all professional drivers. Even if you are an amateur driver on the street, it is not easy for you to overtake more than a dozen cars.

But that was the fact. The Subaru GE behind him was like a "blue ghost" following his car.

"I don't believe this mainland guy can pass it!"

F430 murmured in his mouth, then simply gave up chasing the car in front and changed lanes directly to block Xu Jia's car, taking a defensive stance.

Anyway, this game is not counted in the professional results. Even if his ranking remains the same or even falls behind, at least this mainland kid can't even think about rushing to the front row again!

Seeing the F430 in front of him start to change lanes to defend, Xu Jia just showed a faint smile.

"If the defense can definitely block it, then there will be no overtaking in this world."

At this time, Xu Jia stepped on the floor and accelerated, Subaru's powerful torque burst out, and the speed soared to 200km/h in an instant, almost driving against the rear wing of the Ferrari F430 in front of him.

Faced with Xu Jia's "aggressiveness", the F430 driver also took the risk. He simply blocked in front of the Subaru GE car regardless of the wiring. The two of them simply locked up and didn't even think about running away!
"Idiot, if you don't use the lane to disrupt the wake at this time, do you still think you can block it?"

Xu Jia cursed disdainfully, then turned the steering wheel and changed lanes. The entire Subaru GE seemed to be pushed by some mysterious force. The speed suddenly surged and surpassed the F430 in front of it. Many viewers were unable to react. What!
In fact, this overtaking method is not a magic trick, but a "wake effect" that is very common in formula racing.

The professional term is called slipstream, also called "slipstream".

In layman's terms, when driving at high speed, the car in front resists all air resistance, and then forms a low-pressure zone or even a vortex vacuum zone at the rear of the car.

As long as the car behind you runs in this wake area, the air resistance it will endure will be greatly reduced. Even when changing lanes to overtake, you can use the increased wake effect of the car in front to eject your own car like a slingshot, thus achieving rapid overtaking!
Therefore, in the peak showdown on the F1 track, many people can see this scene. The leading car often makes inexplicable back and forth changes to lanes, instead of accelerating crazily on the straight to the end.

The reason why the leading car does this is to disrupt the airflow at the rear of the car by constantly changing lanes, so as not to give the following car a chance to "follow suit".

Otherwise, as long as the car behind catches the wake, it will soon catch up and pose a threat to itself.

In a top-level professional racing duel, you will never be like the F430 driver in front, who only wants to use his body to block the car behind him. Because there is no change in the airflow, it actually gives Xu Jia the opportunity to overtake by using the wake. He can only be too naive!
When Xu Jia successfully overtook the F430, the audience was in an uproar.

If there are some low-level drivers in the back row, and it is understandable that they can't stop Xu Jia, then the drivers in the front row are already among the best in Hong Kong Island, but the result is still vulnerable. Did the defense last more than 10 seconds?
"Come on the street, what's the background of this mainland boy, no one can stop him?"

"Hey, it's too easy to overtake. Is this really a professional driver running?" "The Subaru driver seems to be named Xu Jia. Is he a new star that has recently emerged in mainland professional racing?"

"In front of you is SD Team A Wei. He and Ouyang Xi are from the same team. He shouldn't be overtaken so easily again, right?"

Discussions began to continue. This exhibition match, which was supposed to be a prediction for the Grand Prix, has now become almost a personal show for Xu Jia, which is beyond the expectations of many people.

Now everyone's eyes are fixed on SD Team Ah Wei. His professional performance is second only to Farfus who came here to make money today. He can be regarded as the first-class professional driver in Hong Kong Island.

Ah Wei, who was driving a Porsche 997, had a ferocious expression on his face at the moment. He had already learned through the team's voice that Xu Jia was overtaking like crazy, and his strength was not at all what he had imagined for the mainland young bird.

It's just that Ah Wei didn't expect that Xu Jia could be so strong that he would crush the riders in the back row all the way, and overtaking on the track became a numbers game.

What he didn't even expect was that Xu Jia was already behind his car!

To be honest, Ah Wei's heart had started to beat faster at this time, and he really felt the pressure brought by Xu Jia.

But after all, he is Hong Kong's top professional driver and has a long-standing sense of superiority. Even though Xu Jia has shown extraordinary strength, Ah Wei still thinks he can win this duel.

Xu Jia, who was in the car behind, looked at the red Porsche 997. His face finally lost the playful smile before, and showed a hint of indifference.

This is not because he attaches great importance to Ah Wei and is starting to take it seriously now, but because he intends to let Ah Wei feel what it means to have no resistance!
Ahead is the U-shaped bend of the Coloane Circuit, also known as the turnaround. When reaching the corner entry point, the Porsche 997 brakes came on, and Ah Wei began to slow down and negotiate the corner on a tangent line.

And he chose to stick to the center line of the track and not give Xu Jia any chance to overtake in corners. From this point of view, Ah Wei is indeed better than the previous driver. At least his defense is quite satisfactory and there are no mistakes.

But for professional racing, the premise of blocking the opponent is based on the small gap between the two sides. With this conventional way of guarding the tangent to block the car, trying to guard Xu Jia was simply a joke.

At the regular braking point, Xu Jia did not step on the brakes. He entered the corner at extremely high speed to overtake the Porsche 997, seizing the APEX point at the center of the corner faster than his opponent!
"How can Subaru ensure that it doesn't push its head off the track when entering a corner at this speed?"

Ouyang Xi stared at the blue Subaru. He didn't expect Xu Jia to be so extreme. He didn't give Ah Wei a chance to fight. He planned to beat his opponent as soon as he caught up with him!
But the problem is that it is impossible to pass the U-turn at this speed. The inertia has exceeded the grip limit of the slick tires. Did the mainland driver lose his mind because of the previous quarrel?

The answer is of course no. A driver like Ah Wei, who is a cat and a dog, is not worthy of making Xu Jia lose his mind.

If Xu Jia was driving a super touring car, then in this situation, there is indeed a high probability of running off the track. But surprisingly, in the GT event, he drove a pure-blood rally car with an extra handbrake lever!
This means that Xu Jia can pull the handbrake and brake the rear wheel again when decelerating with the extreme foot brake, thereby obtaining the speed difference between the front and rear wheels, and then use a drift method that is rare in track racing to corner.

In track racing, drift cornering speed is inferior to tangent cornering, there is no doubt about this.

But in the competition, it’s not that the one with the fastest cornering speed can win the championship, it’s that I only need to corner faster than my opponent.

As Xu Qiang aggressively seized the apex and drifted through the corner, he blocked Ah Wei's Porsche 997 behind.

He has only one purpose in doing this, and that is to let the other party understand that you can't even stop me from turning a corner!
