Chapter 93: Chapter 82: You’re All Talk and No Skill (Part 3)
Some people especially like to have a girl in the passenger seat to show off while racing, but this not only slows the car down and affects handling, it’s much more complicated than that.
In the event of a crash, the natural survival instinct is to turn the steering wheel for an emergency dodge, making the passenger seat the most dangerous position.
After saying this, Chen Xiangbei turned directly and walked towards the parking lot with the keys to drive.
Qin Lianjie had once asked if any unruly people were bothering his sister, to help fend them off.
Now that Chen Xiangbei has fulfilled his duty of advising, whether he can stop them is beyond his ability.
Opening the car door and sitting in the Infiniti G35, just as Chen Xiangbei expected, due to it being a left-hand drive and not suitable for the track, the interior wear is low and it still looks quite new.
Starting the car, the engine sounded in good working condition, and shouldn’t break down on the road.
Driving this G35 to the pit lane, Hashimoto Ichiro no longer had the previous anger and truly saw Chen Xiangbei as a show-off rookie.
He rolled down his window and mocked, "Kid, want me to give you a few seconds head start on the track?"
Even without talking about the gap in driving skills, just the performance of my GTR alone, Hashimoto Ichiro didn’t know how he could lose to this rented Infiniti G35 on the track.
"No need, just a regular run."
"Running isn’t a problem, how about we add a wager?"
"What do you want to bet?"
Chen Xiangbei retorted.
"If you lose, kneel and apologize to me."
Kneeling is an extremely common thing in Japanese culture, Hashimoto Ichiro felt it wasn’t a severe punishment for a rookie.
"What if you lose?"
"I lose?"
Hearing this, Hashimoto Ichiro laughed and replied disdainfully, "Do whatever you want."
"If I win, stop bothering Hoshino Yoshi like a piece of crap."
According to Chen Xiangbei’s former personality, he would have wanted some material wager, after all, what’s racing without money?
But now being a professional driver and at Suzuka Circuit, and the opponent not being a gentleman, he had to be a bit cautious.
No choice but to bet on something else.
Chen Xiangbei previously sensed Hoshino Yoshi’s tolerance towards Hashimoto Ichiro.
Although he didn’t know what his concerns were, being occasionally provoked by such a person would be very bothersome for Hoshino Yoshi, so he decided to do him this favor.
Upon hearing Chen Xiangbei call him "crap", Hashimoto Ichiro’s face turned gloomy, this kid was really pushing it.
"Fine, you’re destined to lose."
Hashimoto Ichiro coldly threatened, driving the GTR towards the starting line of the pit lane.
Hoshino Yoshi stood by the car and heard Chen Xiangbei’s challenge. His heart felt mixed emotions, it seemed a long time since someone his age was so kind to him.
"Thank you, Xiangbei-kun."
Hoshino Yoshi bent down and sincerely thanked Chen Xiangbei.
"No need to be so polite."
Chen Xiangbei waved his hand and also moved the G35 to park in front of the starting line of the pit lane.
Since today is an open day, there were still many people doing laps on the track, so they could only start from the pit lane.
At that moment, Hashimoto Ichiro’s companion came to the front of the two cars, raised her hand, and started counting down.
Chen Xiangbei and Hashimoto Ichiro almost simultaneously shifted gears and revved the engines. Being able to beat Hoshino Yoshi on the mountain road, he naturally had some skill. The starting RPM was kept very stable, definitely not a rookie level.
The roar of the two car engines naturally attracted the attention of many spectators in the stands, with many curious glances cast their way.
As the countdown ended, Chen Xiangbei stepped on the gas and launched, the two cars almost neck and neck as they rushed onto the track.
This scene surprised Hashimoto Ichiro’s fellow drivers, showing unexpected expressions on their faces.
It’s known that Hashimoto Ichiro’s car is a professionally modified Nissan GTR, while the opponent merely rented an Infiniti G35 temporarily from the track, the performance is in completely different leagues.
Despite this disparity, the G35 managed to keep up with the GTR at the start, it was simply ridiculous!
