He rode a motorcycle and crashed the plane.

Chapter 629 629. A blockbuster

Perhaps this is the first time in the history of Chinese racing that this situation has occurred, because professional racing in China only started in 85, and it has only been a short period of twenty years, and it has not witnessed the rise of any talented driver.

When they look at Xu Jia now, they have the illusion of watching foreign drivers making money and "carnage" on the Chinese track. In the past, the scene could only be seen by foreign drivers, but today it appeared on a Chinese teenager.

"Ladies and gentlemen, what you are seeing now is the third event of the ROC China Championship, between Ren Zhiguo, the 07 national track champion, and Xu Jia, a newcomer from the Dragon Team."

"If nothing else happens, Ren Zhiguo should have a great advantage on the field driving a super touring car. Xu Jia's luck is really not very good and he may be eliminated in the first round."

At the end of the live event, He Bing introduced the driver information in an orderly manner while the two drivers were counting down to the start.

But just after he said that Xu Jia was unlucky, the two cars had already ejected, and the result was completely different from what he said.

"Oh my gosh, the situation on the track has changed a bit. Ren Zhiguo seems to have a slower ejection start than the newcomers. Could it be that he is not used to the Bird's Nest indoor track?"

"No! Xu Jia also turned faster at the first corner, and the gap between the two sides widened further. It seems that Ren Zhiguo, the national championship driver, is a little overwhelmed in front of the newcomer!"

He Bing explained with some amazement while quickly flipping through Xu Jia's match information. He wondered if he had read the wrong name. Is this really what a newcomer should look like against a national champion?
After confirming that the name on the information was Xu Jia, especially in the racing event, He Bing was a little stunned.

Forget about newcomers, the rally driver field can still crush the CTCC championship. Is this the sun coming out of the west?

In the few seconds he was stunned, Xu Jia had already passed the second corner, and the gap between the two cars had widened to one and a half car lengths, which meant that it was more than 5 meters.

Even if he switched to a super touring car, even if Ren Zhiguo didn't relax as much as during the test run, the result still didn't change. It was a race that was destined to be crushed!

After the audience saw this scene, many people's faces were full of disbelief.

Although China's current professional drivers, even at the CTCC championship level, do not have a great influence in the public eye.

However, those who came to the Bird's Nest to watch the race today were mainly car fans. Not to mention how well they knew the sixteen professional racers participating, at least those like Ren Zhiguo, who had won the national championship, had heard of their names.

And his opponent Xu Jia really didn’t even know his name!

"Is Xu Jia a newcomer who emerged this year? Why have I never heard of this driver in the event?"

"He is a newcomer this year, and he seems to have won the Hong Kong Island Short Track Championship."

"Is the newcomer so strong?"

Once again, the newcomer's identity was confirmed, and a large number of fans had shocked looks on their faces. This guy had just entered the car world and crushed the national track championship. What if he had been running for a few years?

"The facts are in front of us. He is so strong. Otherwise, how could he join the Dragons for just one event?"

"You have to know that the establishment standard of the Dragon Team is said to be to compete in the three major FIA events. Without this potential and strength, why would Cheng Long sign him?"

Just when the audience was discussing Xu Jia's identity, he had already switched to the inner lane and began to show his ultimate drifting and cornering skills.

The Volkswagen Scirocco I tested before had a front-wheel drive structure. Although it could use inertial drift to corner, it was still slower than the rear-wheel drive car in terms of speed, and the handling was also far inferior.

Now this super touring car is a standard mid-mounted rear-wheel drive, with a 50:50 competition-level weight distribution, so the drift alignment and cornering speed are completely unmatched by the Volkswagen Scirocco.

More importantly, the indoor track's basketball floor-like road environment is actually very friendly to drift operations. In a sense, this road environment is also a kind of care for rally drivers.

After all, as a full-sport ROC Nations Cup, if it cannot achieve a balance in all aspects and let track racers completely dominate the event, then a lot of fun will be lost.

Once the ultimate drift center of gravity is under control, the remaining game time becomes a personal show for Xu Jia.

Moreover, Xu Jia's control can be said to have perfectly combined and unified the bells and whistles with actual combat effects, which was even more shocking than the visual impact that the previous line cutting and bending brought to the audience.

Strength is always the stepping stone for competitive sports, and now Xu Jia has begun to conquer the audience with his performance!
"Damn it, this cornering operation is too elegant. Xu Jia's vehicle center of gravity control is very good!"

"This guy seems to be a real rally driver. It's really scary to have such strength in track racing."

"Is Xu Jia going to become a talented driver in China, the kind that makes a big splash?"

Many people have this kind of doubt and want to know how strong Xu Jia's driving skills can be in this ROC Nations Cup and how far he can go.

"There are still 100 meters to go before we reach the finish line. Xu Jia from the Dragon Team is now far ahead!"

"He had already demonstrated the driving skills of one of the top track drivers in the country when cornering on a tangent line. What we didn't expect was that his drift control was also so powerful, he was almost omnipotent."

"The finish line is in front of us. Xu Jia crossed the line and won the third round of the showdown!"

He Bing almost shouted at the end of his explanation, because this event, which everyone originally thought had no suspense, had an even less suspenseful result.

But the result is the other way around.

Xu Jia took the absolute lead and crossed the finish line first, and the number 1 minute, 16 seconds and 56 appeared on the big screen next to the track!
This is the fastest lap time so far this evening at the Bird's Nest indoor track. It is even nearly two seconds faster than Xu Jia's previous test car with a Volkswagen Scirocco!
Seeing himself being left far behind again, this time Ren Zhiguo's face was not as pale as before, and there was even a bitter smile on the corner of his mouth.

Because people's psychological state is like this, if there is only a small gap and someone is ahead, then they will feel uncomfortable. I feel that as long as I work harder and get a little faster, I can turn defeat into victory.

This feeling is like passing an exam with a score of 60, only to get a score of 59. It’s so uncomfortable!
But when you can only score 40 points, you don't have much obsession with passing 60 points, because no matter how hard you try and catch up, you can't cross the 20-point gap, and you are willing to accept your fate.

The mentality of Ren Zhiguo now is that of the student who only scored 40 points in the test. He was unwilling to lose the first test and lost face.

In the second race, he was still absolutely crushed, and the gap even widened. He knew in his heart that Xu Jia's driving skills and strength were no longer on the same level as him.

Although Ren Zhiguo couldn't understand why a newcomer like Xu Jia who suddenly appeared was so terrifyingly strong. But if you lose, you lose, and you lose so miserably that there is no need to make excuses!

"We win, Xiangbei wins, this guy is still the same monster on the field!"

Li Wenfeng couldn't help but roared angrily. He knew that track racing was Xu Jia's strongest point.

Even during the training process, in order to exercise my control over the center of gravity of the vehicle, I also deliberately reduced the running method of cornering and slowed down my speed, just to avoid leaving any shortcomings in the future top competition.

But Li Wenfeng didn't expect that Xu Jia would be so strong, so strong that his opponent would be vulnerable to a blow!

Excitement also appeared on the faces of other team members, except Evans and Ito Genji, who looked at each other with complicated expressions.

When they came to the team, Xu Jia basically stopped running track races, and could even reduce the impact of his formula driving style in his previous life.

To use a movie line to describe it, that is, love what you do. A formula driver's change of career can determine the lower limit of his level, but he will never reach the upper limit of WRC.

Not to mention Xu Jia, a test driver, is not good, F1 champion Kimi Raikkonen is not good, even if Senna is reborn and Schumacher is allowed to run again, it may not be possible!
Therefore, Evans and Genji Ito only knew that Xu Jia surpassed the rally driver's line and cornering, and regarded him as a Southern European driver with a technical style like Loeb.

But he didn't know that Xu Jia could be so strong on the track!

This is not only beyond the realm of touring cars, it is completely at the level of a standard formula driver, which is simply incredible!

Especially Genji Ito, who quit the newly disbanded Honda F1 team. He is very familiar with formula drivers, especially F1 drivers. Xu Jia's current level is at least at the GP2 level!

In fact, after half a year of training, because of his younger body and better mentality, and indeed having two lifetimes of superimposed racing talent, Xu Jia's strength recovered very quickly, almost catching up with himself in another world, GP2 The level is not too high. The duel between Xu Jia and Ren Zhiguo ended, making many people remember his name. At the same time, the competition continued. Han Han from the other group also crushed his opponents without exception and advanced to the next round.

Historically, Han Han was the runner-up in the 2009 ROC China Championship, and lost to Dong Hebin in the final.

After all, at this point in time, Dong Ho-bin is only one step away from the F1 driver level, and will be the third driver of the Renault team next year.

In a sense, he has achieved more than Xu Jia in his previous life. You must know that although the Renault F1 team has been somewhat depressed in recent years, it was still a super team that won the double championship in 05 and 06.

A skinny camel is bigger than a horse, and it is still much better than Xu Jia's third-rate F1 team in his life.

And the third driver is only one step away from taking the field. The Xujia test driver is still one position behind the third driver before he can officially take the field.

To put it simply, the third driver in motor racing is equivalent to the sixth man in basketball.

Therefore, Han Han did not lose unfairly.

But this does not mean that Han Han is weak. The double championship brings not only results, but also a momentum bonus of "who would give me the best".

This kind of thing sounds quite metaphysical, but in fact, in competitive sports, it has a great bonus for athletes, and can even reach the point where the weak can defeat the strong.

Just like Schumacher's history of five consecutive championships, the Ferrari car was not considered the fastest car in the paddock within five years, but the car god relied on the momentum of consecutive championships to complete a rare unification in the history of F1.

The same is true for WRC. Now that "Road Dominator" Loeb has won consecutive championships, it seems that all his opponents have become a foil. The opening race of the season only begins every year, and everyone is thinking about how it would be for him to be on the championship podium in the final race. What a scene, even the opponent subconsciously puts himself in the position of a challenger,

Being a challenger means that you are weaker than the other party by default, otherwise the other party will challenge you in turn.

This is no longer a concept of kingly momentum, but makes Loeb the real rally king by default!
After the first round of duels, the remaining eight drivers began the second round of duels. Xu Jia was drawn to China Rally Champion Chen An, but the car was drawn to a ROC special car.

This kind of formula car, which is similar to a roll cage, is destined to be on Xu Jia's side at the right time and in the right place. His crushing on the track is even more powerful than that against Ren Zhiguo in the last game, beating his opponent by more than 3 seconds. !

On such a short track, being able to beat the opponent for more than 3 seconds is already at the level of beating a child in reverse.

When this duel ended, it was no longer as simple as the audience remembering Xu Jia's name, but many people had already set their sights on him, wanting to see if he could perform a similar performance in the next duel. Beat up!
The Xujia Group A final, which is also the overall semi-final opponent, is Chen Congfu from the Chinese A1 Formula National Team.

He is currently the first Chinese formula driver. He was surpassed two years later by Ma Qinghua, who obtained a super license and joined the HTR team.

In the duel between Xu Jia and Chen Congfu, the racing type did not use the lottery method, but chose super touring cars on their own.

Because this car is the most powerful among the five ROC models and the closest to actual combat, it can represent the true level of the driver.

It's obvious that Chen Congfu wants to have a real showdown with Xu Jia Lai to see if this kid can match his own formula driver in track racing!

"We have encountered a strong enemy this time. I hope Brother Bei can hold his own."

Le Zai in the audience spoke at this time, with a worried look on his face.

It can be said that among the fifteen domestic opponents in ROC, only two can really pose a threat to Xu Jia, namely Chen Congfu and Han Han.

In a sense, formula drivers like Chen Congfu are even more terrifying on the field. As long as Xu Jia can pass him, it will basically be safe to join the national team.

"Are you praying for North?"

Evans, who was next to him, heard Le Zai's voice and asked a question.

Compared with Ito Hirofumi who knows a little bit about Chinese, Evans is the kind who doesn't understand it at all.

But after a few months in the team, I probably realized from the title that the sound "北" means Xu Jia.

So after hearing Le Zai pronounce the word "North", he asked a question.

"Well, this Chen Congfu is a strong opponent of Brother Bei."

"A British F3 runner-up driver can be called a strong opponent. How will he fare against the world champion he will face tomorrow?"

Evans' tone was full of disdain. In the European F3, such a result as the runner-up is at most an entry-level result, but in China it is regarded as a "driving god".

Faced with this sentence, Le Zai didn't know what to say. Evans is from the UK. He has seen countless top players in the world, so he naturally doesn't pay attention to F3 level drivers.

But this is in China. Chen Congfu is currently the strongest formula driver. This cannot be called a strong opponent. Then Xu Jia has no opponent in China.

"Bei will beat him, the fast one!"

Evans spoke with certainty in his conclusion, even appearing to trust Xu Jia more than the Chinese team members.

You must know that when this British guy first came to the training base, he didn't like to look at Xu Jia seriously and looked down on him at all. This changed Yue's attitude too quickly.

"I agree with Evans that Xiang Beijun will defeat this opponent."

Next to him, Genji Ito also said that they have seen too many top events on the European circuit and have a very clear judgment on the strength of the drivers.

Xu Jia's performance in the track race even surpassed his professional rally event and was completely at the level of a GP2 driver. It would be strange if you can't even drive F3.

Just as the foreign members of the team predicted, when the two cars started to take off at the beginning of the race, Xu Jia's precise control of speed, torque, and grip was still better than that of fellow formula driver Chen Congfu, and he still started ahead of his opponent!

When this picture came out, the participating Chinese drivers on the scene even had no sound of discussion. They were all completely silent.

Because in the perception of the domestic racing community, formula drivers are better than touring cars, and those who race in Europe are better than those who race in Asia.

Chen Congfu's field strength is almost equivalent to the ceiling of this competition, and his only opponent may be double champion Han Han. Historically, the reason why Chen Congfu was eliminated was because he met Dong Hebin. The strong among the strong had nothing to do.

It can even be said that he is the most popular player in this ROC Nations Cup, the Chinese car king.

As a result, now, even he can't outrun rally newcomer Xu Jia?
"I couldn't believe my eyes. Not only at the start, but also at the first corner, Xu Jia, a newcomer from the Dragon Team, seemed to be faster than Chen Congfu of the German Volkswagen F3 Team. How on earth did this happen? ?”

Match commentator He Bing felt like he was watching a fairy tale. Movie scripts wouldn't dare to write it like this. It was even more shocking than Ren Zhiguo's previous defeat!
Soon, He Bing's commentary screen showed a piece of data from the track control center, which showed the speed of the two cars on the first parallel turn.

Xu Jia's cornering speed reached 117km/h, while Chen Congfu only reached 113km/h. This is either a coincidence or Xu Jia's cornering speed is faster and more extreme than his opponent!

When he saw this number, He Bing opened his mouth, not knowing how to explain this "supernatural" incident.

After a pause, he spoke into the microphone and said: "Dear viewers, I got the track monitoring data. Xu Jia is ahead of Chen Congfu in cornering speed."

"I was a little shocked by his driving skills. I couldn't imagine the speed that a rookie driver could run."

"If Xu Jia can become the final winner today, we may have the opportunity to witness the rise of a talented Chinese driver!"
