He rode a motorcycle and crashed the plane.

Chapter 611 611. Newcomer level?

Just as Taro Aso judged before, the lap speed Xu Jia ran in the road survey lap was not his full strength.

Although he also used the running method of running on the line through corners, he tried his best to drift through corners most of the time, constantly practicing his control of the center of gravity of the vehicle's sideslip.

You must know that determining how high a driver will be in the future is never about his technical strengths, but his shortcomings.

Take Felipe Massa, the famous Brazilian F1 driver, for example. This was supposed to be a driver with world championship potential, but his mediocre performance in the rain battle made him miss the peak glory of the car world.

With the dominance of nine-time champion Loeb in rally racing, cornering has indeed become the mainstream running method, but this does not mean that Loeb cannot drift. He can also show his "road tyrant" dominance in the ice and snow of Finland and the rainforest of Brazil!

Compared with the more than ten years of experience in track racing in my previous life, the gravity control of rally drifting in just a few months in this life is obviously not enough to compete with world-class drivers.

Therefore, Xu Jia often does not use what he is best at on the track to pursue the ultimate speed. Instead, use competition as a substitute for training to master the running method that you are not good at.

Changing to all-terrain tires that are more prone to slipping, in addition to pursuing speed, is actually a challenge for Xu Jia.

If there were no terrifying lap speed shown by Taro Aso in today's event, Wu Yaohao might not be able to see what Xu Jia's true strength is when he goes all out.

Even after the game, he would feel regretful and dissatisfied with his narrow defeat!

It is a pity that Ng Yiu-ho, the mountain king of Hong Kong Island, needs to understand a cruel fact now.

That is, even though he is a double champion, he has been kicked out of this short track race and is no longer an opponent at the same level.

Xu Jia's true strength is far beyond what he and everyone knew!
"Xu Jia, a rookie driver from the Mainland, actually started again ahead of Hong Kong Island double champion Wu Yiu-ho, and even directly lost his opponent in Turn 1!"

"This speed is simply unbelievable. It is much faster than the previous road exploration lap. Did Aso's speed stimulate the players, or did this mainland newcomer hide his strength from the beginning?"

Liu Qiang, the commentator of the Hong Kong Island race, described it in an exaggerated and excited tone. He has participated in the Hong Kong Island Short Track Rally for nearly ten years. He has seen foreign drivers come to participate in the competition before, showing his crushing strength at a different level.

But today is the first time that mainland riders have this kind of "power"!
Compared with the audience and other drivers who don't know much about it, Liu Qiang has an internal player information.

This driver named Xu Jia can be said to be a complete newcomer. His professional resume only includes two municipal competitions in the mainland. He even did not pass the threshold to participate in the Hong Kong Island Short Track Rally.

Previously, the tournament organizing committee believed that Xu Jia was not strong enough, and also suspected that he had falsified his professional resume.

Now it seems that there is indeed suspicion. Is this guy's level really only that of a newcomer from the mainland?
When the voice of the event commentary was transmitted to the ears of every audience through FM, the expressions on many people's faces changed.

Especially those Hong Kong spectators who looked down on or even mocked Xu Jia before. At this time, most of them were staring at the blue Subaru racing car on the track, shocked by the speed he showed.

My heart is also full of confusion and doubts. The strongest mountain drift driver in Hong Kong Island and the double champion of short track rallies can really not outrun a newcomer from the mainland?
"The first 50 curves to the right, with a camber of 6, full throttle!"

"After 100 meters, make a U-turn. Turn right after exiting the bend."

"Short straight road 50, gravel and bumpy road, full speed!" A series of node messages came out quickly from Li Wenfeng's mouth. The previous nervousness and apprehension, along with Xu Jia's crazy control, had long been forgotten.

The speedometer pointer on the racing car kept beating crazily, and the high-speed rotating tires caused all kinds of fine sand and gravel to fly, showing a shocking sense of mechanical speed!
"Straight 100 dirt, stay in the middle!"

Soon we came to the previous dirt road section again. Compared to the last time when Li Wenfeng reminded Xu to cut off the gas and slow down, this time he just said to keep the line in the middle of the car.

Because so many racing cars have formed two obvious ruts in the middle of the mud after surveying the road and completing the race. As long as they follow the tracks, they can avoid skidding to the greatest extent.

And Li Wenfeng also knew very well that Xu Jia didn't need to stop the gas and slow down. He just put his right foot on the accelerator and rushed as fast as possible. He would either win the championship or go back to the Guangshen base and start again. "Practice" well!
The track of a high-speed racing car in the mud is even crazier. Many times it is even unclear whether Xu Jia is driving over or sliding over.

Many times, even in the eyes of outsiders, it feels like Xu Jia's car has spun out of control, but the critical point has never been broken through, and it is still firmly in Xu Jia's hands!

"Pretty!"

Li Qiang sat at the commentary table and watched the scene in front of him, and couldn't help but praise it loudly.

Although he is also a Hong Kong Islander and has a sense of superiority inherent to Hong Kong Islanders, as a race commentator, his professional ethics require him to describe the driver's performance as objectively and fairly as possible.

Xu Jia's mud track drift control is really too beautiful, not at all slower than the speed of the former Japanese rally star Taro Aso.

There was even a moment when Liu Qiang realized that he was not watching the low-level Hong Kong Island Short Track Rally, but was watching a world-class rally event, with those top Southern European drivers taking extreme corners on the track!
Just when Li Qiang was a little amazed, the assistant next to him immediately handed over a piece of track data.

When he read the numbers on the A4 paper, Li Qiang's expression changed instantly, showing a mixture of shock and surprise.

"Brother Qiang?"

Seeing that Li Qiang had even forgotten to explain, the assistant next to him lowered his voice and reminded him, then pushed his arm.

This seemed to wake Li Qiang up. He grabbed the microphone and continued speaking in a high tone.

"Dear viewers, I just received the infrared speed measurement data. Xu Jia, a driver from the Mainland, has an average speed of more than 85km/h in mud corners!"

"You have to know that the average speed of other drivers on the dirt track is only about 70km/h. Even Japan's rising star Taro Aso just now only reached a maximum average speed of 80km/h."

"So Xu Jia ran the highest speed on the dirt stage in the history of the Hong Kong Island Rally!"

If you just watch the Subaru GE speeding on the track, you won't have an intuitive feeling about how fast it is.

So now when the average cornering speed comes out, everyone can clearly understand how fast Xu Jia is on the track!
This is the fastest speed in the Hong Kong Island Short Track Rally's history of more than ten years, and even Japan's rising stars are left behind. Could it be that in the history of Hong Kong Island Short Track Rally, the first mainland driver to win the championship will really appear?
