Why race if you don’t have money?

Chapter 4: High school students are so strong?

Qin Lianjie felt a little unbelievable. He immediately turned around and went to the observation deck on the top of the mountain, where he could see almost the entire winding mountain road of Nanyun Mountain.

On this long straight stretch of the starting grid, the Mercedes-AMG has already left the Corolla far behind. Now, all it needs to do is wait for the first bend, and the Corolla behind will no longer be able to see the Mercedes-AMG's taillights.

To be honest, the gap between us was three or four seconds at the start alone. Under normal circumstances, the outcome of this race could be said to have been decided, and the cars behind us would have had no chance of catching up.

Could it be that the speed of light for this high school student named Chen Xiangbei was just a coincidence?
"Brother Jie, the taillights are almost gone. Do you still need to pay attention to this game?"

Someone nearby was a little confused when he saw Qin Lianjie watching the game so seriously.

“Who wins and who loses won’t be known until we pass the first bend.”

Qin Lianjie replied indifferently. Whether Chen Xiangbei's start was a skill or a coincidence can be clearly seen by watching him turn.

At this moment, Sha Minghui, who was running in front, glanced at the rearview mirror and said with disdain, "You two losers want to race with my AMG? I'll make sure you don't even have time to catch the exhaust gas!"

As he finished speaking, he had already arrived at Turn 1 of Nanyun Mountain, a relatively ordinary C-shaped bend.

I don’t actually drive much on Nanyun Mountain Road to show off my life, especially when I drive this Mercedes-Benz AMG.

After all, for a demolition resident like him, racing is not about speed and passion, but about showing off and picking up girls. Why would he run to the mountains and suffer the cold wind for no reason?

In the past, when he tried to show off his skills through this C-shaped curve, the maximum speed was 90km/h. This time, in order to crush Chen Xiangbei and Wang Pangzi, and to show off in front of Xu Yali, he did not step on the brakes hard to slow down, and planned to take the curve at the maximum speed of 100km/h!

At this speed, you either drift at high speed or take an extreme line.

But Sha Minghui is not familiar with either of them. All he can rely on is the excellent mechanical performance tuning of Mercedes-AMG and the grip of the performance tires that he has just replaced.

Sha Minghui's Mercedes-Benz AMG was seen diving into the curve. When he was about to reach the center of the curve, he turned the steering wheel, but was horrified to find that the whole car did not move at all, and was still rushing straight towards the guardrail!

The Mercedes-Benz SLK55's large V8 naturally aspirated engine is indeed very powerful, but it also has the inevitable disadvantages of a large-displacement engine, that is, the engine is very heavy and the overall style tends to be more like an American muscle car.

Coupled with the convertible short-axle setting, the front and rear weight ratio of the entire vehicle is not the standard 50:50. On the contrary, the front and rear weight difference is as high as 60:40!

In "Initial D", Takahashi Ryosuke once commented on Nakazato Takeshi's GTR with a classic line, which is that although your GTR has great horsepower, the front of the car is very heavy. There are so many sharp turns in Akina Mountain, and you will definitely push the front every time you enter a turn.

Now Sha Minghui is facing the same problem. When his speed exceeds the limit of the vehicle's mechanical performance but he cannot make up for it with his driving skills, the Mercedes-AMG directly pushes its head in the corner.

Looking at the guardrail getting closer and closer to him, Sha Minghui's forehead instantly broke out in cold sweat, and Xu Yali, who was sitting in the passenger seat next to him, screamed in shock.

Maybe Sha Minghui was particularly lucky, or maybe the AMG lived up to its reputation as a top German performance car. When it was on the verge of a crash, it regained its steering force and made a thrilling turn, scraping the rear end of the car against the guardrail.

This scene made Sha Minghui's face pale. He didn't expect that just increasing the speed by ten kilometers per hour would bring the car to the brink of losing control.

"Game over."

Chen Xiangbei, who was sitting in the back car, watched Sha Minghui's turning movements and silently recited this sentence.

He originally thought that since this guy had bought a top-of-the-line performance car and was relatively familiar with the Nanyun Mountain Road, he must have some hidden tricks up his sleeve.

As a result, Chen Xiangbei saw that Sha Minghui was relying purely on luck in this cornering operation! This level of opponent had reached the point where Chen Xiangbei didn't need to outrun him. If he didn't slow down and admit defeat, he would sooner or later crash under the high pressure of the car behind him.

"What did you say?"

At this moment, Wang Yidonggang was completely in a daze, holding the handrail tightly with both hands, not daring to let go for a moment.

He never thought that a Corolla could drive at a speed of 120 or km/h on Nanyun Mountain Road, considering that the speed limit on the highway is km/h!

The surrounding guardrails and streetlights flashed by like slides in Wang Yidong's eyes. He couldn't imagine how lush the grass on their graves would be next year if Chen Xiangbei made any mistakes at this speed...

Chen Xiangbei didn't explain much. He just stepped on the brakes. There was a harsh metallic friction sound from the brake disc of the Corolla, and then the speed of the car dropped to about 100km/h in just a few seconds.

That’s right, Chen Xiangbei plans to use this grocery cart to achieve the same cornering speed as a Mercedes-AMG!

Taozi, who was standing on the observation deck at the top of the mountain, couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise when he saw this scene: "Fuck you! Driving a Corolla like that is courting death. Even the AMG was nearly losing control at this speed, and he was planning to go through the corner at high speed?"

"This high school kid really thinks he's the driving god of Akina Mountain."

Others sneered and agreed. Seriously speaking, both cars were the kind that didn't know their place. If they crashed through the guardrail and rolled down the hillside at this speed, they would most likely die.

It's just that the AMG was lucky enough to pass. Now let's see if the Buddha will bless this Corolla to pass the corner.

Qin Lianjie remained silent, his gaze fixed on the Corolla on the mountain road. He'd been driving a modified Civic Type-R through Turn 1 at a slightly faster speed. How had Chen Xiangbei managed to do that with a completely unmodified Corolla?
Both Chen Xiangbei and Sha Minghui arrived at the No. 1 C-turn on the highway, but their routes were completely different. He drove the Corolla very close to the outer guardrail, then accurately passed through the inner APEX point, and finally "slid" out, with the car body almost rubbing against the other outer guardrail as he exited the turn at full throttle.

The entire outside-inside-outside wiring process is extremely smooth. Even some professional riders Qin Lianjie has seen may not be able to achieve such an extreme in wiring.

In just this one turn, plus the time wasted by Sha Minghui pushing the front before, the Corolla driven by Chen Xiangbei caught up with the rear of the AMG!
"No, are we catching up now?"

Fatty Wang looked at the taillights of the Mercedes-AMG in front of him and asked in disbelief.

"Well, if Sun Minghui doesn't crash at the next turn, I should be able to overtake."

Chen Xiangbei's tone was extremely calm, as if this life-threatening speed on the mountain road was just normal for him.

Sha Minghui, who was driving in front, also saw the Corolla catching up through the rearview mirror. Compared with Chen Xiangbei's calmness, he widened his eyes and his face was full of disbelief.

Even if he made a mistake at Turn 1, Chen Xiangbei still had a three or four second advantage at the start, so he caught up with him in just one turn. How fast was his cornering speed?

If there was no long straight road at the start, allowing the Mercedes-AMG to fully demonstrate its horsepower advantage, does it mean that I would lose at the first corner?
The overwhelming gap in strength made Sha Minghui's heart a little broken. What was even worse was that he had developed an uncontrollable panic about the next bend.

If I continue to enter the corner at the same speed, it's unlikely that Lady Luck will favor me again, and I'll probably lose control and crash through the guardrail. I just want to show off in front of my girlfriend, why risk my life?
As the wheels rolled forward, Turn 2 of Nanyun Mountain was already in sight. There was no time for Sha Minghui to think too much. His instinctive fear of death made him step on the brakes hard and he dared not turn at high speed again.

Just when the Mercedes-Benz AMG turned the corner, Shai Minghui saw a headlight flash past his eyes. Chen Xiangbei drove the Corolla straight into the inside to overtake, and soon the only thing left in his sight was the taillights that were getting farther and farther away!
The car behind overtook the car in front, and the winner was decided.
