End of the Century Talented Racer

Chapter 57 The Race Begins

Until the end of the third quarter, no one could break Zhang Yue's lap record.

Amidst the loud applause from the audience and the taunts to the rest of the drivers, the grid ranking for the qualifying session was also announced.

Zhang Yue from Huayue Racing Team ranked first, Zhao Guorong from Freezing Point Racing Team ranked second, and Lu Jianxia from Zeus Racing Team ranked third.

The race will officially start after the qualifying round and half an hour of rest and adjustment.

During this period, the atmosphere within each team also became more solemn. It is not a big deal to spend a little time in the previous training matches, but it will matter in the official competition. Winning the trial is the only way to get tickets to the National League.

"The first match of the trials will start in 5 minutes. There will be a lot of competition. Which team will make a good start on the way to the National League. Please let us wait and see!"

All participating drivers are ready on the track, waiting for the start light above to light up.

When the first red light came on, everyone's spirits tensed up.

When the five red lights went out, Zhang Yue stepped on the accelerator almost at the same time.

With his good start, Zhang Yue took the first place without hesitation, followed by Zhao Guorong of the Freezing Point team. At this time, the ranking on the field was exactly the same as the ranking in the qualifying race.

Having run three laps in qualifying before, Zhang Yue became more confident about this track. After a short straight-line acceleration, he was about to enter the first corner of Boya Circuit.

Zhang Yue, who is in the lead, does not need to worry about the route. According to the route planned in his mind and the perfect control of the car, Zhang Yue passed the first corner with a very precise route.

Compared with Formula One, the steering wheel of the mini-Formula karting is obviously "lighter" than the steering wheel of Formula One.

Therefore, Zhang Yue feels more comfortable driving the kart, and his handling of corners has few flaws.

Zhao Guorong, who was behind Zhang Yue, saw Zhang Yue's turn. What he didn't want to admit was that he couldn't compare to Zhang Yue in this first turn, even though he had seen it before. Zhang Yue made many turns, but after witnessing them with his own eyes every time, he still wanted to sigh.

At the first corner, the three cars in front passed one by one and headed for the next corner.

But the players ranked fifth and sixth behind them attracted the attention of the audience at the first corner.

"This first corner... I feel like I can do it!" Guo Hairong, currently ranked sixth, murmured when he saw Li Pengju in front of him.

"Then try it first, it's best if you can overtake it!" Guo Hairong's eyes became firmer, and he suddenly increased his speed and approached Li Pengju ahead, and got stuck in the driving route of Li Pengju ahead of him when he entered the curve.

At the same time, Wang Yongxiang, who was ranked seventh behind Guo Hairong, also brightened his eyes: "Don't miss this opportunity!"

They also took this opportunity to overtake Li Pengju in front. After overtaking, the two of them blocked Li Pengju tightly behind them.

I grass!

Dropped two places at the first corner?This was a bit difficult for Li Pengju to accept.

"The first overtaking after the start of the race happened so quickly! Li Pengju, who was in front of Guo Hairong, was overtaken by Guo Hairong at the first corner. This...hey, wait a minute, so was Wang Yongxiang behind Guo Hairong. Seizing this opportunity to overtake Li Pengju is really incredible!" The commentator in the commentary box also explained the overtaking in time.

"Let's take a look at the replay of Li Pengju being overtaken on this curve. Through this lens, we can clearly see that Li Pengju made a big mistake in handling this curve. The angle was too far outside and gave the two players behind a chance. In this level of competition, Li Pengju's mistake is really undeserved!" The commentator said with a little regret in his tone.

The audience in the stands couldn't help complaining when they saw this scene.

"Pfft, could this be the legendary double-shot?"

"This corner is really water. At this time, there is no one who can make such a thing happen!"

"666, the driver's psychological quality is too poor, the appraisal is complete!"

……

Amid the noise on the field and the dissatisfaction conveyed by the team, Li Pengju's head was already sweating, and his hand holding the steering wheel was also a little hard, and he clenched his teeth.

"It's okay... I still have a chance..."

This mistake really shouldn't be!Li Pengju, who was lagging behind, followed closely behind Wang Yongxiang, trying every means to overtake, but it was useless to blindly insist on the truth. Wang Yongxiang in the front stood firmly in front of him, and did not give him any chance to overtake. !
"Oh, have you become angry?" Wang Yongxiang in the front saw in the rearview mirror that Li Pengju in the rear was still swaying from side to side looking for an opportunity to overtake, and couldn't help laughing, what a waste, why did you go so early? Yes, to make that kind of mistake, you are still a professional player!
Every time Li Pengju overtook was blocked by Wang Yongxiang in time, and the repeated failures made Li Pengju's mentality unconsciously become a little impatient.

"I want to calm down, I want to calm down..."

Li Pengju recited these words silently in his heart, trying to calm down.

Slowly, Li Pengju adjusted his mentality. Instead of blindly overtaking, he followed closely behind Wang Yongxiang, looking for his flaws.

On the fifth lap, Li Pengju finally got his chance!

This was also Wang Yongxiang's flaw that he discovered in the previous laps. Every time at the seventh corner of the track, Wang Yongxiang's cornering on this continuous corner seemed very stiff.

Li Pengju stared at the racing car driven by Wang Yongxiang in front of him.

"right here!"

Li Pengju's eyes lit up, waiting for this opportunity!

Seeing Li Pengju trying to overtake in the rear, Wang Yongxiang thought he could easily block Li Pengju just like before.

However, there is a sparseness in everything!
When Wang Yongxiang was defending, he ignored that he was on this continuous curve with a lot of flaws in handling, which caused the speed to be a bit too fast, but the car deviated on the curve, so that Li Pengju drove from the left side. Directly completed the overtaking.

"My grass!"

Wang Yongxiang was a little annoyed, why did this guy choose this corner!
He was quite aware of his own problems. He had been trying to cover up this shortcoming all the time, but he never thought that Li Pengju would still seize the opportunity.
