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

Chapter 316

After failing in yesterday's qualifying, Kevin and John reflected deeply on it and decided that they couldn't give up their thrusters that suited their taste so well just because of the risk of being eliminated. Although the Red Bull crew didn't want to agree, at their strong request, they still opened up their thruster limiter from 35% to 80%. If it was any higher, the event committee would have to come again.

For this reason, Red Bull's technical director had to sigh that they really found a treasure. They are worthy of being extreme sports players and they dare to challenge the limits of human beings.

At this moment, although the road conditions along the Qinghai Lake are not as exaggerated as those in the uninhabited areas, they are certainly not as good as the standard tracks that need to be inspected and maintained every day. However, Kevin and Muller started their charge with the roaring thrusters.

However, after the brief chaos just now, they were actually somewhat out of touch with the first echelon, and they had no idea what was happening in the front.

When they accelerated, they originally thought that the Mercedes and DRS in front would stop them, and they were ready to fight with each other. However, what they didn't expect was that as soon as they approached, the four cars of Mercedes and DRS directly made way for them without even symbolic defense.

"What are they doing?" Kevin and Mueller were stunned. They haven't even reacted yet, and they've already reached the third or fourth place?
"Okay, in that case, let's overtake the Arctic Fox and take the lead!" John said excitedly.

"Damn! What is that!" The two men, who were full of confidence after overtaking DRS and Mercedes, were awakened the next second by the interference airflow of the Aurora.

Compared with other racing cars, the RB-C01, which is currently modified like a berserker, is much less resistant to disturbed airflow than other racing cars.

"RB-C01 suddenly started shaking violently after approaching the Aurora!" Li Bing asked in surprise, "Did it accelerate too fast just now?"

"No wonder they let us come!" Kevin and Muller began to adjust the state of the car in a hurry, but they were caught off guard and were about to lose control.

However, at this moment, Tai Chi War Dragon and AMG-01 rushed up from the left and right, using the airflow to help the two stabilize the car body.

"What do they mean by this?" Kevin's eyes widened, but the next moment, the two men helped them stabilize the car body and blocked their retreat.

Just kidding, it's rare to have a rookie who rushes up to help them cope with the pressure, we can't let them be eliminated like this.

The two RB-C01s are now in a real dilemma because of the recklessness of the two. Just now, DRS could still rely on the stability of Tai Chi War Dragon and Tornado Charge on the off-road track to fight, but now if the RB-C01 wants to overtake the Aurora, it must turn on the thrusters. However, with their current vehicle conditions, turning on the thrusters against the interfering airflow is basically equivalent to killing itself.

"It looks like the tempo of the race will hardly change before the first tire change." After the situation on the field had not changed for a long time, Fei Ge said, "Then, we can follow the camera and enjoy the beautiful scenery along the coast of Qinghai Lake."

"He Wang, Xiaohao and the others are expected to arrive at the maintenance station in 7 minutes. Please check the equipment again." Xiaolie was making preparations in the fourth maintenance station and coordinating the overall situation at the same time. Because this maintenance station is located at the junction of the off-road track and the urban road track, the chassis of the Tornado Charge needs to be replaced here, so Xiaolie is in charge of it personally.

"I understand." Chen Hewang nodded, without stopping checking the equipment. This time, many new people had joined their technical team, and in order to avoid low-level mistakes, they had to check repeatedly.

Soon, everyone in the first echelon arrived at the first maintenance point.

"You'd better move faster!" Among the first few teams to arrive, Kevin and Muller were probably the most anxious. The two hundred kilometers they just ran had made them very sick.

"But your fuel consumption is very high, so we have to replenish it temporarily." Red Bull's technical team explained while operating the machine.

"If we don't get going soon, we'll probably end up in the same situation again. But the next maintenance point is 300 kilometers away. If we continue like this, it will be hard for us to make it there!"

Under tremendous pressure, the technical team of Red Bull drawn from the F1 event showed amazing potential in this station. Even though they had an additional process that required temporary refueling compared to other teams, they actually managed to gain a few tenths of a second more time than others. After getting confirmation that they could set off, Kevin and Muller hurriedly accelerated out of the maintenance area, and only breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the Aurora, Tai Chi War Dragon and AMG-01 that had just set off behind them.

"Is the pressure so great?" Nie Ming said with a smile in the cockpit of the Aurora. "We don't plan to continue using this to interfere with the airflow in the next section."

Although the Aurora's airflow interference is very effective, it is ultimately an extra energy consumption that does not increase the speed at all. It is okay to use it occasionally, but to rely on it as a means of winning is simply thinking too much.

Kevin and Muller still suffered from the lack of experience. After they started again and caught up with RB-C01, they used them as windbreakers. On the road along the Qinghai Lake, a row of CF racing cars of various colors were lined up. Under the aerial camera, those who didn't know would think it was someone's wedding car team.

At this moment, Kevin and Muller also found something was wrong and slowed down on their own initiative in an attempt to give up the thankless position of windbreaker, but the cars behind them didn't care. If you slow down, I will follow suit. Anyway, on such a long-distance off-road track, there is no need to exert force early in the morning.

After a tug of war, Carlo and Okita Kai, who had passed the first maintenance area in fear, caught up with them and joined the long line of CF cars.

"This..." In the Five Star Sports studio, the trio were speechless when they saw this scene. What would the commentators say if you guys ran like this!

"It seems that facing the ultra-long distance track, the drivers all want to wait until the second half to exert their efforts." Li Bing laughed dryly, but at this moment, the broadcast screen suddenly showed that the No. 2 cars of USCF and Sauber were eliminated at the same time.

"Huh? What happened back there?" Brother Fei also became interested, and soon the camera cut to the side where the newbies were pecking at each other.

Unlike the peace in the front echelon, the competition in the rear echelon is particularly fierce.

Muller did not choose to accelerate after the start, but kept his acceleration rhythm with Lanci, maintaining the 11th and 12th positions, but several cars behind them wanted to overtake. However, their attempts were easily resolved by Muller.

Then, as they ran, they got anxious and forgot that they were on a cross-country track, not the standard track they were most familiar with!
As we all know, the training channels for Formula One drivers, rally drivers and touring car drivers are completely different. This group of veteran drivers who entered GPX from F1, except for top talents like Carlo, Michael, Muller, and Xiao Hao, all had to go through a period of training before they could truly become familiar with the off-road racing methods. However, after the competition entered the white-hot stage, with a high degree of mental concentration, the cognitive training they received since childhood inevitably had an impact on their choices.

Just like just now, USCF and the No. 2 driver of Sauber team, after trying to overtake without success, instinctively performed technical moves on a standard track. However, if it was a well-maintained standard track, there would be no problem with their technical moves and their cars would be able to withstand it. But on this track where the road surface is not too perfect, the risk is too high. Just now, USCF encountered a bumpy turn and lost control of the car. Not only was he eliminated, but he also dragged down the No. 2 car of Sauber team not far away.

After watching the replay, Li Bing commented calmly: "USCF's No. 2 car was a little careless. How could they use that kind of overtaking method on this kind of road?"

After one person was eliminated, the remaining cars became much more cautious when trying to launch an attack on Muller.

However, they do not intend to stop. According to the information conveyed by AI, the leading team in front is currently playing at a very slow pace. As long as they can get past McLaren's defense line, they will have a chance to catch up with the first team.

However, Muleka was the only one standing against ten thousand enemies here, and the entire battle situation on the field seemed to be divided into two parts with MCL-C01 as the dividing point.

The lagging team made frequent mistakes after getting anxious, but the commentators from various countries watched the game with great interest. In previous games, the camera would hardly move to their side, but in this game, everyone found that the fight between the noobs at the back seemed quite interesting.

"The last remaining member of the USCF is entangled with two Aston Martin cars. Can he hold on?" Brother Fei was watching with great interest. In just a few minutes, after the battle became intense, these professional drivers began to make very low-level mistakes because they were not used to the control method of off-road racing cars.

"There shouldn't be any problem in stabilizing this section." Li Bing tried to make a judgment.

"It's about to lose control. The convoy in front had to slow down to pass this section of road. It's too risky for him to speed up. But there's no one to interfere, and the two Aston Martins are also unable to take care of themselves. Can they stabilize?" Ran Ge said expectantly.

"It's okay, calm down! Beautiful!" Brother Fei continued.

"Ah? It's shaking again?" Li Bing said excitedly, "Come on USCF! You can do it!"

However, the next second, the last remaining seedling of USCF spun off the track.

"USCF is down! (crying voice)" the three of them shouted in unison.

After a while, the three of them laughed out loud. "Unfortunately, with the elimination of car No. 1, USCF failed to finish the race again, and their completion rate was lowered again."

When teasing other teams, the three have to take their fans into consideration. Even the Sauber and Aston Martin teams, which are currently accompanying USCF in the worst zone as experienced teams, have accumulated a group of loyal fans in previous F1 races.

However, they don't have so many concerns about teasing USCF. Among the ten teams in GPX, three are completely newly established teams without any previous foundation. Arctic Fox has attracted a large number of fans with Nie Ming's camera-oriented running style, and DRS is even more popular in China. Only USCF has become a serious amusement for all racing enthusiasts around the world.

Even North American car fans like to make fun of them from time to time.

"The first team has almost completed a lap around the 300-kilometer Qinghai Lake. They will soon turn to a section with more complicated road conditions. Will the situation on the field change?"

"The Tai Chi War Dragon is starting to speed up with the Whirlwind Charge!" The moment they entered the fork in the road, Lin Che pushed down the gear lever of the Tai Chi War Dragon's thruster, and started to speed up after breaking away from the team that looked like a wedding car convoy. The advantage of the Tai Chi War Dragon in off-road mode when facing complex roads was undoubtedly revealed at this moment. Before others could react, the Tai Chi War Dragon and the Whirlwind Charge took the lead. This time, Lin Che did not give others the opportunity to use them as wind breakers, and he quickly took Xiao Hao to distance himself from the others.

Afterwards, Mercedes also started to exert its strength. After Michael and Hijikata's two AMG-01s switched formations, the special airflows created by the two cars began to interact with each other, and they accelerated together to chase after DRS.

"Yuri, should we give chase?" Nie Ming saw this and began to ask for help from his external brain. "If we use that trick, we should be able to gain a huge advantage before reaching the second maintenance point."

"Wait a little longer." Yuri said, "Although the reinforced coating on our car can last until the second repair point at the current distance, we have to leave some room for error."

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Nie Ming nodded in response.

"After Tai Chi War Dragon suddenly exerted his strength to gain the advantage, he gave up the first position to his teammates. After Whirlwind Charge was accelerated by Tai Chi War Dragon's burst, it has maintained this speed."

After a long time, after entering the uninhabited highway, on the vast Gobi Desert, two cars accelerated one after the other on this long road with no end in sight. The picture captured by the broadcast camera looked like a road movie.

"It feels good to drive on this road. It's not as exaggerated as Aaron said." Because the pressure was relatively low, Xiao Hao even had time to chat with Lin Che.

"There were only two of us." Lin Che said, "When Aaron drove Teng Ji's off-road vehicle on this road, he was the only one there. Plus, that kid was so brave that he insisted on running in the middle of the night. How could it not be scary? There are really wolves in this area!"
