He rode a motorcycle and crashed the plane.

Chapter 609 609. Overcoming Instinct
In fact, the reports Xu Jia saw before were not considered rumors. Today’s Hong Kong Island Short Track Rally did have a lot of mainland spectators and fans coming to watch the race. They wanted to see if Xu Jia was as strong as the online videos. .

But in terms of number of people, it is definitely incomparable to home drivers like Wu Yaohao. When the Hong Kong audience started mocking, most people were reluctant to speak out.

And now Xu Jia has proved his strength with speed, especially the wonderful cross jump in the last scene, sprinting at full throttle without any sign of giving up, which gave them a lot of encouragement, so the applause and cheering sounds finally started to sound. .

"Damn it, the short track layout is designed to be so exciting!"

After landing on the ground, Li Wenfeng exhaled heavily. For a newcomer like him, the situation just now had indeed a sense of uncontrollable tension.

After all, from Li Wenfeng's vision, he almost watched the opponent's car crashing towards him, and even his body began to instinctively make dodge movements, although this was of no use.

"Who would watch it if it wasn't exciting?"

Xu Jia replied calmly. In fact, he didn't pay attention to the "dangerous" scene just now.

You must know that short track rallies are limited by the venue area. There is a high-angle bend almost every few dozen meters, which will reduce the speed of the car to a very low level. In most cases, it is difficult to reach 100km/h.

Even if there is a period of straight-line acceleration before the final jump node, it is actually close to 100km/h, which is far inferior to using a top speed of more than 1km/h on the F300 track to perform a knife-edge dance with the opponent.

That's a real slight collision, and you can see how the car is torn into pieces.

Even if we compare it to a rally, the real danger brought by whether it is a cliff, a reservoir, or a protruding tree stump on a curve exceeds the "crisis" of this exchange point.

But in terms of visual effects and the impact it brings to the audience, this kind of two-car crossover leap is indeed more enjoyable to watch.

Therefore, it is very challenging for the Hong Kong Island Short Track Race Organizing Committee to design such nodes on the track and maintain the balance between danger and enjoyment. It also shows the dedication of the design team. strength.

"The car was about to crash just now, didn't you feel anything?"

Li Wenfeng asked in surprise.

Just like when someone punches you in the face, you will subconsciously close your eyes. Seeing that a car was about to hit him, didn't Xu Jia even have instinctive fear?
"No."

There was no change in his tone. Even during the jump just now, he didn't pay attention to whether Wu Yaohao's Focus RS would hit him.

In many combat sports training, there is an item called overcoming instinct. That is to say, when your opponent punches you, your first reaction should not be to close your eyes, but to stare at the opponent's fist and dodge.

Otherwise, the moment you close your eyes, you may fall to the ground in the next second. Continuous combination punches will follow one after another, and you can be defeated by your opponent in one wave.

For professional drivers, overcoming some of the human body's instinctive reactions is also something that must be done.

To give a more general example, most people who have obtained a driver's license should have heard the saying "Yield the speed but don't give way."

That is to say, when encountering a tense situation, you must not panic and turn the steering wheel to change lanes. Instead, you must hold the steering wheel steady and apply the brakes to slow down.

However, for many ordinary drivers, especially novice drivers, when faced with a sudden approach or traffic jam in the lane next to them, they will subconsciously turn the steering wheel to move away. This is the human body's instinctive reaction.

If the speed is low and there are no cars or people next to you, this kind of stress reaction will force you to go in the direction. At most, you will be shocked and it will not be a big deal.

But what if you’re on the highway, or there’s someone following you next to you? This kind of subconscious jerking of the steering wheel may cause the entire vehicle to lose control and hit a car or person, for which you have to bear the main responsibility.

There are many videos of car accidents, especially on highway ramps, and this kind of thing is not uncommon. As a professional F1 driver, it is normal to fight against each other and engage in "zero distance" personal games at speeds of hundreds of kilometers per hour on the track.

If you see your opponent's car approaching instantly, your first reaction is to quickly turn the steering wheel to move away to avoid being hit. How about pursuing a hammer career?

Xu Jia has received training in overcoming instincts in racing cars. This is different from the fact that his physical fitness cannot pass through. His consciousness is always there.

So in the eyes of ordinary people, this kind of jumping with two cars that looks very exciting is not even considered pediatrics in Xu Jia's eyes. The entire F1 event lasted nearly two hours, and almost half of the time involved this kind of dancing-on-the-knife confrontation, and it was faster and more difficult!
This is why Xu Jia's performance is so calm. It's nothing to him!
When he realized that Xu Jia really didn't feel anything, Li Wenfeng, who was sitting in the passenger seat, suddenly felt that he didn't know what to say.

Maybe because they get along with Xu Jia day and night and witness Xu Jia's progress together, he is not as keen on the title of "genius driver" as others are.

But this time, Li Wenfeng finally understood why Xu Jia had the title of "genius" circulated on the Internet.

This guy is simply born to be a racing machine without emotions!
Before the race, the road survey was still going on. Xu Jia, who was on the inside lane, was not lagging behind. When he switched to the outside lane, his speed was even less likely to be slower than Wu Yaohao.

When he finished one lap and crossed the finish line, his final lap time was immediately displayed on the big screen next to the track: 1 minute, 18 seconds and 76 seconds!

When the red numbers appeared, many people on the track, including the staff, took a breath.

"Hell, the road survey before the race was less than 2 seconds slower than the track record. Is it unstable in the race and breaks the track record?"

"Nonsense, Wu Yaohao was overtaken on the outside lane by the inside lane, and he finished almost 1 second slower on the inside lane. Do you think this kind of strength can break the track record?"

"Mainland man, don't talk so eloquently. Do you think it's so easy to catch up with a car that's 2 seconds behind in a single lap?"

"You little bumpkin, I guess you don't even know how big a 2-second gap is in a professional racing car, yet you still break the track record?"

Some cynicism from the Hong Kong audience began to sound, and there was an indelible sourness in their tone.

The main reason is not how fast Xu Jia is, but that double champion Wu Yaohao is lagging behind. You must know that this is his home court. Even if the track layout has been slightly adjusted, the home court advantage is still obvious.

Taking advantage of this "geographical advantage" to explore the road, he was actually slower than the mainland boy who ran for the first time?

Compared to the passionate arguments between the audience and fans, Xu Jia's entire team was very calm at the moment.

Needless to say, Xu Jia, if he can be excited and satisfied with this kind of lap speed, then he might as well go back to Donghai to wash his car.

The old drunkard and Brother Niu have at least seen big events, and Xu Jia has already shown so many amazing qualities that it is not surprising that he can run so fast.

Le Zai belongs to another kind of "cold", thinking too much like a man in science and engineering. This kind of speed and results can't stimulate his excitement.

Therefore, this lap time result, which is enough to cheer and celebrate in other "newcomer" teams, seems unusually calm to the members of the Xujia team. Li Wenfeng, the only one who wanted to say something good, couldn't help but start to wonder when he saw this situation. Is he abnormal, or is the world abnormal?

But soon both the audience's arguments and the team's calm reaction were broken.

Because after Japanese driver Taro Aso finished his test run on the road, the lap time on the big screen was 1 minute, 16 seconds and 81 seconds. He broke the track record by just doing one lap of the road!
