God of Speed

In the early morning, Lang Yan drove back to the convoy, just in time to meet Chen Mo and his party starting to participate in the opening race of this year's rally.The car and the car crossed each other at the door and missed, Qian Duoduo turned his face to one side.

Walking into the reception room, Li Mingqing was sitting on the sofa drinking coffee. When he saw Lang Yan coming in, he put down his cup and said, "Is there any progress in the matter I asked you to investigate?"

"It's about the same as you estimated." Lang Yan threw the Vitesse key on the coffee table and walked upstairs.

Li Mingqing stared at Lang Yan's back, his face sinking like water: "Continue to follow up, and give me what I have already mastered in a while. In addition, I will build a security system for this place, to an unbreakable scale."

Lang Yan went upstairs, turned his back to Li Mingqing and waved to make it clear.After walking a few steps, Lang Yan turned around and said, "The security system is secondary. I suggest that you push this broken building down and rebuild it first." After speaking, he strode upstairs.

"You are the wind, I am the sand, lingering to the end of the world..." Lang Yan's singing came from the stairs.

Li Mingqing looked around at the surrounding walls, thinking that this building must be demolished and rebuilt.

The team arrived at the arena. In March, the sun was shining and the spring breeze was blowing. The first half of the rally season began.

In the past, the rally lasted only three days, but with the popularity of motor sports, the three-day event is no longer enough for car fans to vent their enthusiasm for the event, and gradually expanded to a six-month event. March to May, September to November in the second half of the year.The first half of the season is a qualifier, which is divided into regions. According to the number of teams and drivers, it is divided into 3 competition regions.The top eight teams in each race can get 3, 5, 9, 11, 18, 10, 8, 6 points, and the teams that get the top 5 points in the qualifiers can enter the second half of the season and compete for the championship.

Peak and Sovereign are in different divisions, and the confrontation between the two teams will continue into the second half of the year.However, the pinnacle of winning the division championship is not about pinching an egg with five fingers-surely.Last season, the Kings Racing Team ranked fifth overall and the Peak belonged to the same division.This is both an opportunity and a challenge for the newly established Pinnacle. They can use the king to find their status, but the king's performance is also good. Although they are ranked fifth, the actual gap between the twelve star teams in total points is not very far.

Therefore, it is not so easy for Peak to win the qualifiers.

However, this qualifier can promote the growth of Qian Duoduo and Xia Qing, because there is not much time for real running in the three-month competition, and the remaining time can be used for adjustment and improvement.For some reason, the two aces of this year's summit did not participate in the World Rally Championship. Among them, Model went to F1, and Lang Yan stayed in the dormitory of the summit team.

This is also a good thing for Fengfeng. Chen Mo believes that with his and Lang Yan's guidance, Xia Qing and Qian Duoduo will definitely be able to advance by leaps and bounds.

The opening match of the first day was held on a wasteland covered with gravel.

There are 30 teams in the competition area where the peak is located, 10 professional teams send more than two drivers, and the remaining 20 amateur teams have only one driver, a total of 44 drivers and 44 navigators.

Teams like Peak and King have their own technician teams, and some weaker professional teams also have their own technicians. If you can’t solve big problems, you still have the ability to fix minor problems with small knocks.The 10 amateur drivers are more pitiful. If there is a problem with the car, they can only drive it after the race to repair it. If it is serious, they will quit the race directly.

The so-called opening race is actually a warm-up ceremony, where leaders give speeches and fire salutes... After a cumbersome ceremony, each team is ready to run around the winding track about 3 kilometers long and then return to Beijing. Similar to the admission of athletes in a sports meeting.The purpose of this opening race is to let the old teams run in, and the second is to let the new teams adapt, so the track is not long and difficult to run.

In fact, from the perspective of the organizers, these two points are also secondary, and the most important thing is to create opportunities for leaders to show up.So time is wasted every year for this dispensable opening game.

The starting order is based on the points ranking of last season. Although Chen Mo has left Sovereign, his points are still there, so he starts first.Xia Qing ranked 15th in points last year and started 15th on the grid.

The qualifiers are nothing to watch, and they are mostly in the wilderness, dusty, and it's not a rest day. The fans basically don't come. They are all old farmers watching the fun.In today's rural areas, there are not many people under the age of 60!

The arena seemed to be full of people, but in fact, apart from the officials and referees of the Automobile Federation, as well as the media reporters, team drivers, and team technicians, there were basically no knowledgeable spectators.For this reason, and today's results are not included in the total points, most drivers, especially the amateurs, feel that their abilities are in vain.

Chen Mo doesn't think so. In his concept, a racer is a racer, and as long as he drives to the field, he must go all out.

On the rostrum built in a piece of loess, there are quite a lot of officials sitting.Some local officials also came to join in the fun and sat on it in a serious manner.Sitting in the maintenance area, Chen Mo saw that there was an empty seat above, and the name of the summit branch manager was written on the sign.

What kind of medicine is sold in this gourd?Do you still want to take advantage of this time to advertise?

It didn't take long for Chen Mo's doubts to be resolved, because Li Mingqing sat in the vacant seat with a sullen face, still wearing a suit and leather shoes, and his leather shoes and watches were shiny.

The officials spoke one by one, and when it was Li Mingqing's turn, he said a few simple sentences, to the effect that summit would provide fuel for all the players in the competition area.

This news made many racers excited, especially amateur racers, because the number of gasoline used for competitions is hundreds, and most of the gas stations with the highest number are 98 gasoline.Of course, teams like Peak and King have their own dedicated gasoline.

Amidst the cheers, Chen Mo laughed as he watched Li Mingqing step down from the rostrum, and said in his heart that wearing such bright leather shoes, which are dusty, is really too expensive?

After a while of commotion, the referee issued an order, and Chen Mo drove the Mitsubishi Revo to the track, and the dust rolled up from the rear of the car was several meters high.

Qian Duoduo is still in good condition, although he is far behind the first-class navigator Xing Yimin, but he is not in a hurry and follows the road book.After running in a circle, the cooperation between the two was okay, and Chen Mo was very pleased.

Back at □□, driving off the track, a team of technicians gathered around, asked Chen Mo about the problems that existed while driving, and adjusted the vehicle.Chen Mo answered absent-mindedly. Although he only used his hands last night, his back was still uncomfortable.

Here, the cars start off one by one at an interval of 2 minutes, and the cars on the other side leave the track one by one.Professional teams are surrounded by a team of technicians for vehicle maintenance and adjustment, while amateur racers are not so happy, wandering around with nothing to do, making the whole stadium even more chaotic.

This seemingly chaotic scene is actually very orderly, because the truly chaotic people have very little impact on the game.In the early days, the daughters-in-law of amateur racers became well-known professional racers, but today, with the idolization of racers and the commercialization of competitions, such encounters are almost extinct.Promising seedlings were selected into the karting training camp when they were young, and the seedlings that were not selected were allowed to grow. Without the irrigation of huge funds and manpower, naturally they could not grow into towering trees.

As soon as Chen Mo left the maintenance area, he was surrounded by reporters.The reporters asked questions in a hurry, and Chen Mo answered in an orderly manner. He is different now from when he was in Junhao.Behind him is the huge public relations team of sister Xin and summit.What questions the reporters might ask and how he should answer them have all been set up one by one.

The reporters asked a lot of questions, knowing that there would be nothing to gain if they dug further, they scattered in twos and threes, and surrounded Zhan Leyi, the king's matchmaker.

Chen Mo looked at the amateur players who were idling around on the sidelines but not many people paid attention to them. Thinking of what Gu Shen said when he defended his betrayal, he had a deeper understanding of the reasons for Gu Shen's betrayal. .If he hadn't been selected into the youth karting training camp, if he hadn't been supported by Junhao and Lao Lei, and hadn't met Li Mingqing after re-launching the team, he would only have one more title of gold racer and speed god than those amateur racers. .

Even if there is a comeback, it will be a few years later.In the past few years, if things go wrong, he may also have to drive a taxi to earn money to keep the car running like Gu Shen, not only that, but also to solicit sponsors everywhere with a shy face.

At the end of the first day of the competition, a group of people compared the results.During the period, a little time was wasted due to the running-in problem between the two, and Xia Qing took longer than the new second-seat driver used by the king. Therefore, the time taken to run the entire track was 10 seconds behind the king.

Although it was 10 seconds behind, in Chen Mo's opinion, this was already an excellent result.

After returning to the convoy, taking a short rest and washing off the yellow sand, Lao Huang and Chen Mo gathered the team members and gathered in the meeting room.At this time, videos of the opening games of each competition area have appeared on the Internet. With the help of Lang Yan, all the videos of the twelve-star team were collected and compared in detail using the big screen.

Different road surfaces, the skills that need to be paid attention to when driving, and the fastest cornering method for each corner, Chen Mo, Lang Yan and Lao Huang discussed together to form an internal teaching material.

Two drivers who are at the pinnacle of the racing world and an experienced coach, the textbooks they come up with are naturally extraordinary.

For the next three days, Xia Qing, Li Yao, and Qian Duoduo started intensive training.Living in the same room with Xia Qing and Lang Yan, Qian Duoduo had a complex expression and evasive eyes, always refusing to meet Xia Qing and Lang Yan.If you accidentally met Xia Qing's eyes, a mist would immediately fill up your big eyes; if you accidentally met Lang Yan, your fair bun face would instantly turn red like a mature shrimp.

Even so, Qian Duoduo didn't lose his temper once in the past three days. He listened carefully to Chen Mo's analysis of the reasons for the corresponding countermeasures, and took careful notes.On a thick notebook, words like earthworms crawling on sand are written crookedly and densely.

Several people taught at night and practiced during the day. Lang Yan also got a car from the summit, and Lao Huang temporarily served as the navigator. The three groups of drivers started chasing.

Three days later, the speed of Xia Qing and Li Yao's group increased significantly, and the time-consuming was greatly reduced.Qian Duoduo no longer blindly relies on the road book that has been formed, but learns to judge by himself, adapts to changes in road conditions and old ink lines, perfects the road book, and strives to focus the driver's attention and increase the speed of the driver.

At the end of the last day of training, Chen Mo looked at the reduced results of each road section, patted Qian Duoduo on the head, and said, "Good job."

There was a bright light in Qian Duoduo's listless eyes.

At night, all team members went to bed early, and the team building was quiet.

For the first time since the Spring Festival, Li Mingqing did not spend the night in the convoy, and Chen Mo lay alone on the bed, filtering out Qian Duoduo's shortcomings one by one.Qian Duoduo was paranoid by nature, and he didn't know how to let go when he set his sights on one direction. This can be seen from his smashing of srt8, his hostility to himself, and his incomparable attachment to Xia Qing.

Similarly, in the piloting operation, once he has decided on a good plan, no matter whether it is right or wrong, he will stick to it until the end, and will not turn back without hitting the south wall.

If he can get rid of this problem, with his sensitivity to cars, he will gradually grow into a better navigator than Xing Yimin, but how can he win over this little guy?Chen Mo thought until late at night.
