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

Chapter 267 The third game begins

After the Aurora was freed from the out-of-control state, Nie Ming looked at the other Aurora not far from the side of the car body with great surprise.

"What are you standing there for? Speed ​​up." Yuri's gentle voice sounded in the team channel.

"Oh." Nie Ming also reacted and started speeding up again.

At this time, Vatanen also reminded in the channel: "Nie Ming, try some more extreme operations, Yuri, you can keep up."

"I'll try my best." Yuri said calmly.

After hearing the coach's instructions, Nie Ming also started to become bolder, and although Yuri tried his best, he still caught up with Nie Ming's speed.

Moreover, when Nie Ming is in danger of losing control, Yuri's car will always arrive at the right position in the first time to provide him with assistance.

"Wuhu! It feels so good to run like this!" Nie Ming said happily, and then further increased the speed of the Aurora.

Of course, Yuri's ability to provide a backup plan has its limits. After assisting Nie Ming to pass the bend in a high-risk manner for three consecutive times, the Aurora completely lost control the fourth time Nie Ming passed the bend at a speed 30% beyond his control limit amid the AI's warning. This time, not only did Yuri fail to pull him back, but he was also implicated by the out-of-control Aurora, and both of them triggered the protection program.

Yuri was startled by the bumpy body of the Aurora after it lost control. Yuri, who had been concentrating on keeping up with Nie Ming, finally realized that their speed just now seemed to have exceeded 500!

"If I lose control at this speed... I'll die!" Yuri swallowed after failing to bring the car back under control.

However, when the Aurora hit the barrier around the track and stopped smoothly, Yuri was stunned at first. How could it be okay? Then, Yuri realized that this was a CF car and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Coach! The front wheel axle is broken, and the suspension is also partially damaged. It can be repaired in about a day." Nie Ming walked out of the steaming cockpit and trotted towards Yuri while telling Vatanen the AI's self-inspection report.

"Damn it, this guy gained experience from crashing cars!" The mechanics in the technical team cursed. They could also receive the self-inspection data of the AI, and their estimate of the repair time for Nie Ming's car was exactly the same as what Nie Ming said.

Nie Ming came to Yuri's car, pulled Yuri out of the cockpit, and then took a look at the car's self-test data and frowned: "Your car is a little more troublesome than mine. The blizzard thruster was damaged in the collision, and I don't know if there are any spares. As for other minor damages, they can be repaired quickly."

"Sorry, I broke the car." Yuri said apologetically.

"Hey, if I hadn't been driving too high, this accident wouldn't have happened," Nie Ming put his arm around Yuri's shoulder and walked towards the maintenance area. "Let's go. We can't train if the car is broken. Let's go out for lunch. It's my treat."

"You seem to be in a good mood." The technician who drove the trailer looked at the two of them with some resentment.

When Vladimir was still there, they only had to work overtime to repair one car. As a result, this new driver took the car to the repair shop during his first actual car training, which meant that their overtime hours had to double again.

"Sorry, sorry! I'll pack a big meal for everyone!" Nie Ming said with a hearty smile.

"Well, you little bastard has some conscience," said the technical staff, "Remember to say hello to the director before you leave."

It's really hard for people to have any bad feelings towards Nie Ming. Looking at Nie Ming's back as he walked away while talking to Yuri, the maintenance workers shook their heads helplessly and went back to work.

Maranello, Italy.

After the two Tianma cars passed the speed measuring point one after another, the technical team at the back showed excitement on their faces. The lap speed of 570km/h greatly refreshed the record of Tianma cars in this training ground.

"How do you feel, Carlo, Xiaohai?" Ferrari's technical team leader asked in the channel: "The optimized Apollo aerodynamic components are not bad, right?"

"Of course." Okita Kai's words were full of excitement. "Although there is not much improvement in straight-line burst, the controllability when cornering is greatly optimized. With this, our speed on the curves is much faster!"

"Of course!" Ferrari's technical director said complacently, "The corners are where the driver's skills are fully demonstrated. As for the thrusters and the means of overloading the engine, they are just the ways of the barbarians! When it comes to the aerodynamics of the car! We at Ferrari are the best in the world."

"What about stability?" Carlo asked at this time.

"Don't worry about that. The Apollo components have undergone rigorous testing before being installed on the Mustang. There will be absolutely no problems!" Ferrari's technical director said immediately, patting his chest. But before he finished his words, a short stick made of paper fell on his head!
"Old Deng! What are you promising?" Sally shouted angrily while hitting the old man's head.

As Carlo's assistant, Sally has been with him since Carlo started driving go-karts. During this period, the technical team assisting Carlo has been replaced by many batches.

However, whether it is WGP, F3, F2, or even F1, Ferrari's technical team seems to love to make some kind of guarantee and then give Carlo a big job in the subsequent races.

So now, Sally is almost suffering from PTSD after hearing the word "promise".

"Hey! Please show some respect to an old man like me!" Ferrari's technical director said hurriedly while dodging the paper stick.

……

Mercedes training ground, Germany.

Hijikata was driving the AMG-01, turning on the turbocharger system, and increasing the speed to the maximum.

In the cockpit, Hijikata gritted his teeth as he felt the pressure from the gradually increasing acceleration. At the same time, the fatigue from running dozens of laps in a row began to set in. The double pressure of body and mind made his vision gradually blurred.

"A-Ling, hold on!" Michael, who was closely watching the data monitoring of Tu Fangling's car in the maintenance area, said, "Resist the instinct to slow down, continue to speed up, then relax, try to pay attention to the details around you, and feel the speed at the same time."

Hijikata gritted his teeth and held on, but just as Michael said, he relaxed his mind and carefully felt the pressure brought by this speed.

After his body and spirit were pushed to their limits, these few short seconds seemed like centuries to Hijikata! But in the next moment, Hijikata caught a fleeting miracle, and everything around him suddenly became clear.

"Is this... the Zero Realm?" Hijikata Ling said blankly as he felt the special feeling that everything around him was under control. However, just over a second later, Hijikata Ling fainted because he could not withstand the huge consumption of the Zero Realm. Before fainting, Hijikata Ling seemed to see a silver-armored knight on a warhorse saluting him.

The protection program of AMG-01 was triggered, and Michael quickly called on the staff around him who had been prepared to come for support.

Since Michael had been trained in this way some time ago, the Mercedes medical team was already familiar with the procedure and rushed out with a stretcher.

That night, Hijikata Rei slowly woke up in the Mercedes' infirmary.

"You're awake." Mikhail, who was guarding the bed, handed Hijikata Rei a cup of water with a straw after seeing him wake up. With experience in this area, he naturally knew how it felt to wake up from this state.

"How do you feel?" Michael continued to ask after Hijikata Ling had replenished his water.

"Success." Although Hijikata Ling on the bed was exhausted, he smiled happily, "Thank you, that realm is exactly the same as what you said."

"There's no need to thank me. Your previous experience in rally racing is more than enough. What you lack is to get used to the speed under the burst of turbocharging." Michael said.

Hijikata Rei's previous achievements in the field of rally racing were no less than Xiao Hao's, and he was also a super star that attracted worldwide attention. Moreover, he did not have the problem of imbalance due to his strong physical fitness like Xiao Hao and Nie Ming, so the obstacles for him to enter the realm of zero were actually very small.

"I'm finally qualified to compete with that guy in the final. It's not easy." Hijikata Ling sighed. After entering the realm of zero, Hijikata Ling could truly feel how terrifying the strength of the drivers in the realm of zero would become. No wonder the top three in two consecutive races were Lin Che, Michael, and Carlo. It is almost impossible for a driver who can master this realm to lose to a driver who cannot enter this state.

"Okay, if you're okay, just have a good rest. We'll try to give that guy a big surprise in the next race." After seeing that Hijikata Ling was fine, Michael also got up and left the infirmary.

……

As time goes by, the third stop of GPX officially kicks off.

In Friday's warm-up race, the drivers of the ten teams began to change.

First of all, it was the first appearance of Yuri, the second driver of the Arctic Fox team. This driver, who once left the reputation of the team king in the first WGP which was hailed as a battle between gods, naturally attracted the attention of most media.

Most of the media and racing fans also expressed their expectations for his new combination with Nie Ming. After all, one of them was once the king of the team, and the other was once a famous team cancer. The whole world is looking forward to what kind of sparks their team will create.

As for other teams, after two games, they have begun to turn their attention to the former WGP players, but the problem is that those who are still fighting in the racing field basically already have a team, while others have completely given up racing for various reasons.

For example, the former captains of England's Royal Knights and Spain's Madrid Bullfighters, Arthur and Casillas, came to watch the match. Arthur is currently studying philosophy at Cambridge University, while Casillas is very good. He is currently the hottest new star in the Spanish bullring.

When the two were having dinner with Lin Che and his friends, they also mentioned that a GPX team had invited them, but they both refused.

However, Arthur did give Lin Che some interesting news, which was that after several teams found that almost all the top players in the first WGP had been defeated, they began to turn their attention to the players from the later WGP sessions. This time, Red Bull directly replaced the two representative players from the German team that won the runner-up in the third session after Michael and Ye Li retired.

McLaren was planning to send invitations to the two core members of the third WGP championship team, but had to give up because the two had not yet finished their high school studies.

"Hao Shu and Lie Shi? They have good vision." Lin Che said. Speaking of which, after he has collected the system's rewards and retired from GPX, he can call Hao Shu over and try to take his place.

"In short, you guys better do your best in this game. We two have come all the way to China, so don't let us down." Casillas said with a smile.

"Don't worry, your trip will definitely be worthwhile." Lin Che also said with a smile.

……

Saturday's qualifying session started as usual.

The track for this race has slightly fewer straight lines than the previous one, but the curves are more complicated. This racetrack was rebuilt from the home track of the American team when China hosted the WGP. It is 6.84 kilometers long and has 80 laps in total.

Moreover, this track is very innovatively equipped with five consecutive hairpin turns. The difficulty of this level is not low. During the warm-up race yesterday, everyone’s speed was not fast, so the difficulty may not be very obvious.

But in qualifying, under the pressure of the starting order, everyone's speed increased. In Q1 alone, three cars were eliminated in this corner.

In Q2, the speed increased further and two more cars ran off the track.

“Isn’t this kind of hairpin bend a bit unreasonable for large racing cars, especially CF racing cars that can easily exceed 300 km/h?” Li Bing, who was broadcasting the qualifying session live, couldn’t help but question it after seeing this brutal qualifying session.

“However, several teams currently on the standings have performed very well on this track.”

"Like Tai Chi Zhan Long, whose qualifying performance was average in the previous two races, on this track, his lap times were in the top three in both rounds. Does Lin Che intend to fight for the pole position in this race?"

"Then there are the two Ferrari drivers. They also have very fast lap times on this track. Carlo has been in first place for two consecutive rounds."

“After them, it’s the two drivers from Red Bull. They had been quiet before, but their performance is very outstanding after the change of drivers. It seems that the former WGP drivers are indeed the code for GPX’s victory.” Li Bing complained.

"Q3 is about to start. Carlo will start first, followed by Okita Kai."
