I was just thinking about taking the arts exam and you said I've been playing supporting roles
Chapter 466: 1 Rider is far ahead!
Chapter 466 A lone rider leaving everyone else in the dust!
"Chan, I've actually met Chinese people before, and I know you're all very concerned about saving face!"
Vin Diesel suppressed a laugh. Of course, all of them had driven Chen Jin's car before and knew what kind of car it was.
Therefore, my subconscious feeling about Chen Jin's words was that she was just being stubborn.
A euphemism.
"..."
Chen Jin could only shrug, sitting in the car with a hint of helplessness, and said, "As you can see, it's not very fun to drive. It's all looks and nothing else. It's not as comfortable to drive or as roaring as supercars like Paganis, but..."
"Thank goodness, really thank goodness!"
Because of her driving skills, Chen Jin was indeed able to handle the car, and to be honest, the straight-line acceleration felt even more powerful than that of a supercar.
What he mainly struggles with is straight lines.
Even when turning or drifting, as long as the speed isn't too high, you can easily drive onto the track.
In fact, for many race car drivers, such cars are more challenging.
Although Chen Jin is not a professional race car driver, she actually enjoys the feeling of controlling a vehicle.
Rather than vehicles with more powerful auxiliary output.
"Well, it seems our main villain has gotten used to his ride!"
"Chan, you are definitely suited for the role of Xiao!"
Diesel laughed, while the others walked toward their respective racing cars, all wanting to try them out.
Of course, this is also their daily routine.
As a racing movie, acting well is certainly important, but the various cool racing effects and other features are what make this series so beloved by countless viewers.
Therefore, almost every character needs to know how to drive.
So every day during their breaks, the actors would come to the training ground to drive and get a feel for the car. They would also have a few racing consultants explain to them how to drive, which would help each of them improve their driving skills by several levels.
Vin Diesel, Paul, and others have always enjoyed driving, and their driving skills are already better than many people's. After filming these movies, their skill level is actually comparable to that of a race car driver.
This is no exaggeration. This is the sixth Fast & Furious film. The previous five films all involved training in racing knowledge, and with their private driving improvements over the past decade, they could probably qualify for some small or low-level rally races.
Of course, winning an award is difficult.
Forget about F-level races.
However, the main cast of "Fast & Furious" are indeed quite skilled at racing, and even the female leads, Jordana Brewster, Michelle Rodriguez, Gal Gadot, and Elsa Pataky, are all pretty good drivers.
"Oh oh oh!"
One by one, the guys climbed into their cars and drove their respective vehicles onto the track.
This time, it wasn't just Chen Jin's "F1 monster" that was the only sight on the track; the entire track was filled with luxury cars.
Hearing the commotion outside, several of Holden's racing advisors also came out from the training ground's lounge.
Seeing Diesel and the others getting ready to drive, they all chuckled.
Especially Holden.
Of all those people, he was practically the only one who knew Chen Jin's driving skills.
Are these guys planning a car race?
A racing consultant was speaking there.
"It must be a welcome ceremony for the new companions, right?"
"I think this is just a show of force!"
"Larry, you're in charge of that new guy. What do you think of him, this Chinese kid?"
His colleagues were asking Holden questions.
Holden raised an eyebrow: "All I can tell you is that this is going to be good!"
"Really?"
"Haha, it's been so long since we've had any fun on the training ground..."
"Let's go, let's go take a look!"
The group called out to each other and immediately headed towards the racetrack.
Meanwhile, on the training ground, a dozen or so vehicles of various colors and exceptionally cool appearances, including a Pagani Huayra, a Ferrari LaFerrari, an FXX, and a Jason Interceptor, roared to life and came to a stop.
"Chan, welcome to the Fast & Furious family!"
Vin Diesel arrived beside Chen Jin in his iconic Jason Interceptor from the Fast & Furious series.
This car is the homemade car driven by Diesel's character in the movie, and it gets a lot of screen time.
However, it actually comes from Jensen, a former British sports car and commercial vehicle manufacturer, and is a two-door, four-seat sports car launched by the company between 66 and 76.
Just like its name suggests, the body shell of this car is made of steel plates. It adopts a front-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout and is equipped with a 6.3-liter V8 engine from Chrysler, paired with a 4-speed manual or 3-speed automatic transmission.
However, this car has obviously been heavily modified by experts, with its power and torque far exceeding the original parameters, and it is extremely loud.
As for the other absolute protagonist of "Fast & Furious," Paul Walker, he drives the same car that his character loves—the Nissan GTR, the famous God of War.
"How about it, Chan? Want to go for a drive together?"
Paul Walker drove the car to the other side of Chen Jin, and he and Diesel flanked Chen Jin's F1 Batmobile.
Meanwhile, drivers like Old Black Terrige and Little Black Luda drive two Ferraris, the FXX and the LaFerrari.
The LaFerrari won't be available until next year, and Ferrari is giving the Speed exclusive support to promote the car.
It's important to know that "Fast & Furious" is the most valuable racing IP in the world. Countless car companies want the opportunity to sponsor the film, and it all depends on whether Universal will agree.
Companies like Ferrari, Porsche, and Toyota have been collaborating for years, providing various vehicles for filming. After a movie is finished, hundreds of vehicles may be scrapped.
It would be too expensive for the production team to buy the cars themselves, so they all received sponsorships from major car manufacturers.
Manufacturers even have to pay various advertising fees, sponsorship fees, and product placement fees.
"Okay!"
Chen Jin naturally had no objections; he just wanted to see how well Paul and the others drove.
Look at how they are in the Fast & Furious movies, capable of anything, going anywhere; their driving skills are so good that even racing gods would have to bow down to them.
Therefore, Chen Jin had high expectations for the actual driving skills of the main characters.
Sung Kang, Dwayne Johnson, and even several leading actresses such as Jordana, Michelle, and Gal Gadot also joined the car chase.
A dozen or so cars lined up, ready for a mini-race inside the Fast & Furious franchise to begin.
Holden suddenly appeared at the edge of the training field with ill intent, grabbed a megaphone and shouted, "Hey guys, ladies, can I be the referee and give the starting signal?"
That would be perfect.
Beep!
A group of people honked their horns and agreed.
Just like in the Fast & Furious movies, Holden immediately took the center position and acted as the starter.
"Are you ready, everyone?"
His response was the honking of every car horn.
"OK!"
"Then... let's get started!"
Swish!
Holden looked at everyone's vehicles, floored the accelerator, and then reached out and swung his hand down sharply.
boom--
More than a dozen cars sped off at lightning speed.
Clearly, the Pagani Huayra's acceleration is no joke. This Huayra supercar, with a torque of 1000 Nm, leaves the other cars behind the moment it starts moving.
Even if Gal Gadot was driving it. Then there are the Ferrari twins, the LaFerrari and the FXX. In fact, the LaFerrari is faster from 0 to 100 km/h, but the drivers of the LaFerrari are less skilled.
The moment Terrige pressed the launch button, the Pagani Huayra next to him had already started moving.
The Pagani accelerates faster from a standstill.
The LaFerrari's advantage lies in its super acceleration after 50 kilometers.
A few seconds later, the LaFerrari was already running alongside the Pagani Huayra, then the FXX, and then... and then Chen Jin's F1 Batmobile!
Yes, this heavily modified vehicle with its super engine is certainly no slouch when it comes to acceleration.
It quickly became quite similar to the FXX that Xiao Hei drove.
"These guys!"
Paul Walker drove his GTR at full power, but the difference in engine and acceleration meant that his vehicle was no match for the other cars.
Fortunately, this temporary training ground has not only straight sections, but also many curves.
Curves are where a driver's true skill is truly tested.
The difference in straight-line acceleration nowadays is simply due to the performance gap between vehicles.
Vin Diesel, who was standing next to him, shared the same thought.
When they reached the bend, these guys obviously showed their true colors, especially the ladies. Their driving skills on the bend were, well, much better than other female drivers, but... well, it was still hard to describe.
Sure enough, the first one to enter the turn was Gal Gadot, the future Wonder Woman.
Squeak!
The sound of the Pagani Huayra's brakes snapping and the friction discs allowed the LaFerrari, entering the second corner, to overtake it instantly.
The two cars were practically side-by-side, and both began to slow down as they entered the bend.
The LaFerrari was a full car length ahead of the Pagani.
At the same time, Chen Jin's Batmobile was also entering the bend at 75 miles per hour. After a beautiful drift into the bend, it completed the acceleration command the moment it exited the bend.
The other three cars that were faster than him were a bit slower, especially the Pagani Huayra.
Despite Gal Gadot quickly adjusting her body, her acceleration was still a bit slower.
On the contrary, she entered the corner the fastest and exited it on the fourth, with the car still slightly off course.
"Whoo~~~"
The determined Israeli girl gritted her teeth, exhaled, stared intently at the three cars ahead, and pressed hard on the accelerator, trying to overtake them again.
To her surprise, the Batmobile that Diesel and his friends had mocked before was actually going so fast.
Even Pagani couldn't compete?!
It seems like he's going to overtake both Ferraris?
Old Black and Little Black were indeed under great pressure at this time.
Their two Ferraris are not ordinary mass-produced Ferrari supercars; they are both limited editions, and are known for their speed.
Terrige originally thought his vehicle had a sure chance of winning, at least on the first corner.
In the past, he had always been able to overtake Gal Gadot whenever she entered a corner fastest, because the actresses were indeed quite bad at cornering; but what he didn't expect was that he would actually be the first to enter the corner.
But after exiting the bend, Chen Jin was almost catching up with him.
"accelerate!"
Old Black and Little Black gritted their teeth and slammed the engine on their feet.
They had raced against Diesel and Paul Walker many times before, but each time they were overtaken by those two halfway through the race.
At the beginning, their vehicle had a very clear advantage, giving them the upper hand.
However, as you enter more corners, this gap will gradually decrease.
But now, on the second bend, someone has already posed a threat to them?!
LaFerrari and FXX accelerated again on the straight.
But as the second bend approached, Terigi and Luda suddenly realized that Chen Jin had overtaken them the instant he emerged from the second bend.
the first!
Chen Jin was the first to exit the second bend and had already accelerated, leaving everyone else in the dust.
Only then did Terigi realize he needed to step on the gas and continue sprinting.
In that brief difference of less than a second, Chen Jin's Batman had already pulled ahead of his by more than a parking space.
"Oh, shit!"
Terigi cursed, and the car almost tipped over.
If he hadn't caught him in time, he might have gone off the track, which gave the old black man a real fright.
It was this one mistake that allowed Little Black Luda to surge ahead of him.
Even if Xiao Hei makes no mistakes, he is still no match for Chen Jin.
Accelerating in a straight line, the FXX was fast, but with one curve after another, the acceleration took less than a few seconds. So after the third curve, Xiao Hei felt in despair that he could only see the rear of the Batmobile.
The smell of exhaust fumes is unpleasant.
Chen Jin is already far ahead.
"It's boring!"
"Really boring!"
"Only three bends..."
Having watched the entire race on the makeshift track, Holden couldn't help but shake his head.
Even though Vin Diesel and Paul Walker were excellent drivers and were quickly overtaking, they were overtaking Gal Gadot, Terry, and Luda, who had the advantage of their vehicles.
With the tournament halfway through, Diesel has finally moved up to second place, while Paul Walker is in third.
The two chased each other, but they didn't notice any other cars ahead.
This even gave Diesel a kind of illusion.
Have I... already surpassed that Batmobile?
Paul thought so too.
The two were used to being first or second, and after surpassing Luda by a few points, they didn't take it to heart.
Therefore, such a misconception is quite normal.
Until... just as they were about to reach their destination, they saw Chen Jin's Batmobile, parked there peacefully.
"???"
Diesel slammed on the brakes in disbelief.
Squeak!
Jason Interceptor left a long tire track on the track and came to a stop right next to the Batmobile; Paul Walker did the same, also braking to a stop at the finish line.
"Hey, I've been waiting for you... for ages!"
Chen Jin glanced at her watch, smiled, and flashed a harmless grin at Diesel, revealing a bright set of white teeth: "2 minutes and 17 seconds!"
After Chen Jin finished speaking, he shook his watch.
"what?!"
"2...2 minutes and 17 seconds?"
Diesel's eyes widened, and he exclaimed dramatically, "You've been here for over two minutes already?"
"Correct!"
"I can testify to that!"
Holden then walked over.
