Beyblade: You call this a four-wheel drive vehicle?

Chapter 260

If we look at it from the perspective of an F1 driver, Rozier's defense was excellent, basically blocking most of the cornering routes.

This is the best any professional F1 driver could do in this defense, and Rozier's experience was fully demonstrated at this moment.

However, this is the era of CF racing, and the conventional F1 running method may not work well in front of CF racing.

Lin Che pressed the button on the steering wheel, and the wings of the Tai Chi War Dragon spread out, with two fans emerging from under the wings.

Then, Lin Che stepped on the accelerator and the Tai Chi War Dragon rushed towards the outer road.

Rozier looked at the movement of the Tai Chi War Dragon in the rearview mirror with an incredible expression. It could be said that he did not leave any room for overtaking in the entire outer lane. Lin Che's behavior puzzled him greatly.

However, the Tai Chi War Dragon's rear wheels that were slightly suspended in the airflow and its flying-like cornering style directly dealt him a heavy blow.

Seeing that the Tai Chi War Dragon was about to overtake his car, Rozier was a little panicked. When he wanted to adjust, the Aurora, which had been ready to go, took advantage of the opportunity to penetrate the gap he had left when he tried to defend Lin Che.

As an old rival, Nie Ming trusted Tai Chi War Dragon more than Lin Che himself could surpass the opponent, and he had been watching closely from the side, waiting for Tai Chi War Dragon to make the opponent make a mistake.

Compared with F1, the biggest rule change in GPX is the overtaking rules. Many overtaking or defensive methods that are prohibited on F1 tracks are completely liberated in this major competition.

After the two men overtook Rozier one after another, they stepped on the accelerator and sped away, chasing after their next opponents.

"Nice overtaking!" Coach Zhang in the studio said excitedly, "Although I have seen Tai Chi War Dragons overtaking like this many years ago, seeing a Tai Chi War Dragon of this size running like this on a track like this, the visual impact it brings is completely different from that of a mini racing car!"

"Coach Zhang is right. Taiji Zhanlong's running style is always pleasing to the eye no matter how many times you watch it." Li Bing agreed. "At the same time, Nie Ming also performed very well. It seems that yesterday's mistake did not affect his mentality. The overtaking just now was very decisive in terms of timing and line selection."

"Let's not talk about other aspects for now. I don't think anyone can influence this kid's mentality." Coach Zhang said with a smile.

"That's true." The two of them showed mysterious smiles at the same time. For a man who has been talking about becoming the fastest man in the world since he was eleven years old and has not wavered in his determination until now, they don't think there is anything in the world that can affect his mentality.

Taiji Zhanlong basically maintained the pace of overtaking one car per lap, while Aurora was also very cunning and followed behind him to pick up the missed ones. The two people whose starting positions were not very ideal had already caught up to the sixth and seventh positions respectively before the first tire change point.

The Whirlwind Charge, Pegasus and Mercedes GP-1, which maintained the first echelon, also chose to pit for tire changes at this time. Okita Kai, Hijikata Rei, and the Tai Chi War Dragon and Aurora who were catching up were still engaged in a fierce battle.

"I've been waiting for you for a long time!" Hijikata Ling looked at the aggressive Tai Chi war dragon in the rearview screen, his eyes fixed, and he stepped on the accelerator to speed up.

Hijikata Rei and Okita Kai coincidentally did not choose a defensive posture, but instead increased the speed of their cars. As old rivals from more than ten years ago, they knew that defense could not stop Tai Chi War Dragon's unpredictable overtaking methods. It would be better for them to rely on the purest speed and control over the car to compete with hard power.

The four cars continued to pass through the consecutive bends from T1 to T4 at high speed, and their order did not change.

"Interesting, you choose to fight with pure speed?" Lin Che said with a smile. In his current state, if Lin Che does not increase his speed to the critical point of entering the zero realm in a short period of time, he really cannot surpass them here. But this game has only been played for less than a quarter.

At the same time, the three cars that had entered the pit earlier also started changing their tires.

Mercedes maintained their usual stability in the F1 arena and completed the tire change in 2.01 seconds.

Ferrari's technical team also had no problems, 2.03 seconds.

On the contrary, the DRS technical team chose to proceed steadily due to lack of experience and fell behind by 0.2 seconds in this stage.

After the three cars rushed out of the maintenance area, the ranking changed slightly, and Xiao Hao's Whirlwind Charge fell to third place.

"Very good, no mistakes. Let's keep this pace in the next round of tire change!" Xiao Lie was quite satisfied with this speed. With only half of the race experience, Xiao Lie did not have high requirements for the technical team. He would be thankful as long as there were no outrageous mistakes.

After the three leading cars rushed out of the maintenance area at the beginning, other teams also began to enter the pit one after another.

"Ache, prepare to pit on the next lap. Silver detected that the front wheel of Tai Chi War Dragon was seriously worn." After seeing Xiao Hao off, Xiao Liema started preparing for the second tire change without stopping.

"I understand." Lin Che said, temporarily slowing down his acceleration.

Okita Kai and the others seemed to be planning to pit for tire changes in the next lap, and they all slowed down their acceleration.

After Lin Che and others entered the station, Carlo, Michael and Xiao Hao also returned to the first echelon.

With the experience from the last time, the DRS technical team consciously increased the speed this time and completed the tire change at a speed of 2.15.

The Mercedes technical team, known for its steadiness, also completed the tire change in 2.03 seconds.

Although the technicians of the Arctic Fox team were a little slower, they still completed the replacement of the Aurora's tire within 2 seconds.

But this time, something went wrong with our Maranello Circus.

When installing the right rear tire, a technician slipped and failed to install the tire immediately, which caused the tire replacement time to increase sharply. After Lin Che, Hijikata Ling, and Nie Ming all set off, Okita Kai had to wait in the same place. "What the hell!" Okita Kai cursed in the team channel.

"Sorry, sorry, there was a small mistake." The technical team leader wiped the sweat from his forehead, "It's no big deal, let's go!"

"Damn it!" Okita Kai gritted his teeth, started the car, and rushed out of the maintenance area.

"5.79! Ferrari is still the same Ferrari!" Li Bing laughed after seeing this familiar scene. At the same time, the live broadcast barrage kept passing through sentences such as Wofaethane, and the entire online live broadcast room of Five Star Sports was filled with a happy atmosphere.

"Calm down, this is nothing. It's still within the range of what can be recovered." Carlo, who was entangled with Xiao Hao and Michael, suddenly spoke.

Starting from WGP ten years ago, to F3 and then to F1, Carlo knows everything about his own technical team. Now Carlo's mentality in this regard is basically calm. As long as it is not too outrageous a mistake, such as the 13 second performance that directly cost him a race championship last year, he will not react. Even that time, he just scolded his own technical team for two minutes after the race. When he was interviewed after the game, the reporter wanted to get some explosive news from him but failed. At the press conference, he calmly said that this was also part of the game. After that time, fans of other cars felt that Ferrari had produced a saint!
As for the situation that Okita Kai encountered this time, for Carlo, it was not even a small episode in the game.

In the cockpit, Kai Okita tried his best to calm himself down and accelerated to chase the two cars that had overtaken him due to mistakes made by his own technical team.

Soon, halfway through the race, the rankings of the cars had basically stabilized, with only slight changes in the major echelons.

In the first echelon, Michael's Mercedes AMG01 is currently leading, followed by Carlo's Mustang, and then the two DRS cars, Tornado Charge and Tai Chi War Dragon. Hijikata Ling's car is currently only 1/4 body length behind, and Nie Ming's Aurora is not far behind. Chongtianhai, which was tricked by its own team, is about to catch up.

The top two drivers in the second echelon are from Red Bull and McLaren, two former F1 teams. Their drivers are members of the national team who played for Belgium and England respectively in the third WGP. They are also the youngest drivers in this conference and were promoted directly from the F2 echelon by their own teams.

“Are all the top 9 former WGP drivers?” Coach Zhang said, “It seems that in this new era of formula racing that emphasizes cooperation with AI, drivers who have had experience in this area since childhood do have more advantages.”

"That's natural," Li Bing said. "Drivers who don't have experience in this area are more accustomed to relying on their long-term experience rather than AI calculations when dealing with problems during a race. It's not easy to change this habit, especially when the car's speed increases and the driver is in a highly nervous state. Compared with them, these WGP players who have driven GP cars and are used to cooperating with AI since childhood naturally have an advantage."

"Judging from the current ranking, if it remains the same until the finish line, the winner of this race will be among Ferrari, Mercedes, and DRS. The No. 18 car of the Arctic Fox team, where Nie Ming is, is currently ranked th, so it's difficult to help him, but he can still compete for his personal championship." Ran Ge said.

Soon, all the drivers started the second round of tire changes, and this time there were no problems.

The first elimination of the race occurred on lap 39, when the No. car of the McLaren team chose the risky route provided by the AI ​​when trying to overtake, but failed to complete the turn due to its own lack of control and was unfortunately eliminated.

After the first car had an accident, it was like opening Pandora's box. Within three laps, cars began to be eliminated one after another for some reason.

"It seems that the epoch-making improvement in speed of CF racing cars is also a test of the drivers' willpower and concentration." Li Bing said. These mistakes can be regarded as relatively low-level mistakes for these drivers. Apart from the high pressure brought by the speed increase, Li Bing can't think of any explanation.

"Ouch! How scary!" At the same time, in a residential area in Beijing, Lin Che's grandparents' palms began to sweat as they watched the live broadcast of cars flying out of control one after another off the track.

Especially when one car flew out and broke the gear lever directly, and more than half of the car body was completely scrapped, and the whole car was covered by terrifying white steam, the old lady felt that her heart was about to jump out. In just a short while, the scene of her beloved grandson speeding in her mind was conceived!

"No! This is too dangerous! How can my eldest grandson do such a dangerous thing!" The old lady was almost scared to tears by herself.

"Wait, look at them..." Lin Che's grandfather noticed something different.

Under the camera, after the cockpits of the racing cars that had accidents were opened, the safety cars arrived shortly afterwards and the drivers in the cars all walked out of the cockpits at the first opportunity. There were all kinds of reactions, some sighed, some were dissatisfied, and some even took off their helmets and slapped themselves in the face. But no one lay there motionless. Even in the place covered by the scary steam, a figure patted his clothes and walked out of the steam area, then got into the safety car of the organizing committee while cursing.

"It seems what Xiao Che said is right. This racing car seems to be really safe." Lin Che's grandfather took a puff of his cigarette. It is hard to imagine that the person whose mouth shape is clearly saying a word starting with F in this shot just got off a racing car that lost control at a speed of 350km/h.

"After a number of players dropped out of the race due to mistakes, several drivers in the first echelon have maintained their form, and the ranking of the first echelon has been constantly changing," said Li Bing.

On the 48th lap, after everyone had completed their final tire change, they all started the final sprint. Only the last eight laps were left in the 56-lap race.

Xiao Hao and Nie Ming were the first to start accelerating, but Carlo and Michael, who were currently firmly in the top two positions, naturally would not give up the lead and began to accelerate.

"400!" Li Bing shouted in surprise. This speed was unimaginable in the former F1. However, at this moment, the cars that reached this speed were controlled by these young drivers with ease!

After the speed of the cars in the first echelon exceeded the 400 mark one after another, the cars in the first echelon also completed lapsing the last car. Although he was very unwilling, the last car had no choice but to make way for them.

"Silver thrusters ready." On the 53rd lap, Lin Che said lightly.

"Karl, prepare the turbo!" Michael also ordered the AI ​​in a deep voice at this time.

"understand!"

"learn!"

The two's AI responded.

On the 55th lap, the thrusters at the tail of the Tai Chi War Dragon lit up, and the lights began to flash along the black and white paint on the car body, and finally converged on the black and white Tai Chi diagram on the thrusters, accumulating violently in a short time.

"BOOST ON!" Lin Che pushed the gear lever on the right side hard, and the air in the thruster gushed out.
