Autumn famous mountain bike god is reborn

As soon as Fujiwara Takumi sat on the co-pilot of the FD-3S, he immediately fastened his seat belt and tightened it under the watchful eyes of Keisuke Takahashi.

"I'm ready."

Fujiwara Takumi turned his head to the right, and looked at Mr. Keisuke with a straight face.

With a well-behaved and harmless expression on his face, he announced: "You can start anytime."

Keisuke Takahashi narrowed his eyes slightly, nodded his head invisibly, and drove the FD that was idling.

Even if his eyes were facing forward, he could clearly feel the gaze cast from the passenger seat.

—is calm and examining.

From the moment the car was started, Fujiwara Takumi's stunned demeanor, which seemed easy to bully, had disappeared without a trace.

Instead, there is an existence like his elder brother who is absolutely rational, rigorous and objective, similar to a mentor.

Do not make jokes.

How could he let the little monster who was almost three years younger than himself be an education for the younger generation!

Takahashi Keisuke felt a strong unwillingness in his heart.

As a typical intuitive driver, such intense emotions were quickly transformed into strong fighting spirit by him.

Especially when I thought about the last time I sat on 86, although I relied on my self-control, I was not frightened and shouted in embarrassment by the ferocious running method beyond people's imagination...

But that kind of running around corners, where life and death hang on the line, is dangerous like walking a tightrope for him, but for Fujiwara Takumi, it seems easy and comfortable, and everything is under control.

Such a strong contrast caused a shattering blow to his self-esteem, and of course it was still fresh in his memory.

The situation is different now.

That time was at the home court of this indescribably strong guy, Akina, and this time, it was at the Akagi Mountain Road where he ran for more than two years regardless of the weather.

Even if it is impossible for this little monster to withstand the shock and impact he had last time, at least he must use his beloved car FD-3S to impress the other party!

With such thoughts in mind, Takahashi Keisuke can be said to have worked hard.

The high-spirited FD-3S swooped down from the Chicheng Mountain Road like a bright yellow flame, wrapped in an aura that seemed to burn everything.

Takahashi Keisuke, who was determined to surprise Fujiwara Takumi, definitely performed exceptionally this time.

On his way downhill with all his strength, he scared the drivers who were overtaken by FD or passed him in the opposite lane.

They often run on the Chicheng Mountain Road, and they are all locals who are familiar with this FD with the arrogant tail.

After being overtaken by FD with extraordinary momentum, they all stopped at the side of the road in astonishment and asked about the specific situation.

"Wow, was that RedSuns Keisuke Takahashi just now?"

"You're an idiot, who else is the yellow FD running here in Akagi besides Keisuke Takahashi?"

"Is that the state when he was serious? The speed is astonishingly fast. After I saw his car in the rearview mirror, it wasn't long before I was eaten by him at the corner."

"As expected of Brother Takahashi, who often appears in racing magazines. My younger brother is so powerful, it's hard to imagine how terrifying being my older brother Ryosuke is."

"Having said that, the most unfathomable thing is the old 86 that beat Takahashi Ryosuke's Akina 86."

"I really want to know the secret of why he can run so fast. Even if it is going downhill, it is impossible for an old car with weak horsepower to surpass a new car."

"I bought all the new car magazines that came out this week, and I went through them all, but I couldn't find any reports related to him."

"Damn it, why are those guys lazy about this kind of thing?"

"I was watching the match at the five consecutive hairpin turns in Akina. The running style of 86 is really amazing. It is unbelievably fast and has an indescribable charm."

"Didn't someone just say that AE86 went up the mountain with FD? Why is only Keisuke going down the mountain now?"

"Who knows, I really hope I'm here to challenge."

"If the White Comet of Akagi fights at home, even if the opponent is that magical 86, they will definitely not lose!"

The drivers were discussing, and unconsciously changed the topic

The discussion on their side was very lively, and FD-3S, which was sprinting with unprecedented ferocity, had already arrived at the end of the mountain triumphantly.

The RedSuns player who stayed at the finish line quickly pressed the stopwatch, and was shocked to come up with an astonishing number that completely broke the best record that Keisuke Takahashi ran just two days ago.

After a brief pause, the yellow FD turned around smoothly and went up the mountain again.

Compared with the all-out effort just now when going downhill, FD's speed when climbing this time is very ordinary.

Obviously, the people in the carriage are using this time to have a conversation.

"Hey," Takahashi Keisuke made an indifferent expression, pretending to ask calmly, "How do you feel about the downhill just now?"

When he was about to set off, he originally wanted to distract himself to observe the reaction of the co-pilot.

As a result, in his subconscious mind, he really wanted to perform at his best in front of Fujiwara Takumi—so much so that he was in a state of full concentration throughout the whole process, completely forgetting about it.

"Well, how should I put it?" Fujiwara Takumi, who had been silent just now, was obviously still thinking, and blurted out after hearing the words: "Mr. Keisuke is so arrogant, there really is something wrong with him."

"You bastard!" Keisuke Takahashi was stunned for a moment, and then became angry from embarrassment, and almost couldn't help but punch the opponent's head: "Don't just imitate my tone of voice!"

"Eh, is there any?"

Takumi Fujiwara, who was suddenly condemned for unconsciously imitating the tone of a familiar person just now, couldn't help but widen his eyes in surprise.

He just wanted to explain, but at the next moment, he could only admit embarrassingly under Keisuke Takahashi's embarrassed stare: "Uh, maybe there is."

Takahashi Keisuke glared at him angrily, and let out a heavy "hum".

After putting aside this episode, Fujiwara Takumi quickly sorted out the information he had just obtained through careful observation.

He accidentally took out the habit of explaining when he was a tutor, and naturally started from the simple operating principle: "If I remember correctly, Mr. Keisuke's FD-3S is equipped with a turbocharged engine called Sequential System. When you step on the accelerator pedal to accelerate, the first turbine will start first, and the second turbine will start when the acceleration continues to a certain threshold. Compared with the traditional engine, the rotary engine has the advantages of light weight and complete 50:50 front and rear matching It is heavy, and its sporty characteristics are responsive in the medium-speed area. But as a combination of light engine and high horsepower, the most difficult key for the driver to drive it is that the braking force of the rotary engine is smaller than that of the traditional engine. gone."

Speaking of this, Takumi paused for a moment, and continued in a disapproving tone: "Although the throttle control of the rotary engine is indeed difficult to practice, as Mr. In terms of technology...it is too rough. Not only the accelerator, but also other control techniques are too rough. In one downhill, there were nine times when I directly kicked the clutch with my foot."

Hearing this, Takahashi Keisuke, who sometimes half understood the previous content, and sometimes his mind was blank, finally woke up.

He gritted his teeth secretly.

What is rough and rough... That is clearly the bold manipulation method that a man should have!

To be able to count so clearly, does this little monster who rarely writes a long speech really regard himself as a teacher?

"Of course, we can't blame Mr. Keisuke entirely." Not feeling Keisuke's resentment at all, Takumi commented objectively: "The Akagi Highway, which is Mr. Keisuke's home field, should have affected your technical progress. The biggest objective factor. The road conditions are really good, without the common problems of old-style roads such as uneven gaps, unstable curvature, too narrow width, and too many potholes. In Chicheng, drivers can freely match hard suspensions. With tires with high grip, you can choose between four-wheel drifting and grip running as you like, without the urgent need to exercise throttle control..."

As he spoke, Teacher Fujiwara subconsciously shifted his gaze from the road ahead to the 'student' who had remained silent.

After seeing the blond cool guy's seemingly cold and indifferent side face, which was blank inside, Teacher Fujiwara's explanation also came to an abrupt end.

Fujiwara Takumi: "..."

How did he forget again?

At this time, Mr. Keisuke was still an idiot who couldn't understand the theoretical explanation.

In this stiff and quiet atmosphere, the next half of the uphill journey seemed to go smoothly.

The yellow FD returned to the starting point on the top of the mountain, and the car was still quiet.

Takahashi Keisuke seemed calm and fixed his gaze, his hands resting on the steering wheel motionlessly.

And Takumi Fujiwara, who was on the co-pilot, put forward a new proposal after a period of careful consideration.

"Mr. Keisuke."

Fujiwara Takumi looked seriously at Keisuke Takahashi, who was pretending to be serious but didn't understand at all: "How about this. If you don't mind, I will switch places with you, and I will drive your FD around Akagi for a while." lock up……"

After all, Mr. Keisuke at this time is really too stupid.

When the explanation is not clear, the other party can only rely on wild intuition and physical feelings to directly comprehend in the co-pilot.

Well.

Mr. Ryosuke is really amazing to be able to teach such Mr. Keisuke into the future.

"This may be more valuable." Fujiwara Takumi carefully chose words that would not irritate the other party: "Please believe that I will not crash your car—"

Before he finished speaking, Takahashi Keisuke let out a soft "sneer".

He untied his seat belt neatly, stepped on a pair of long legs, and got out of the car decisively.

He walked around to the door of the co-pilot, but he didn't pull it away in a hurry. He just frowned, looked down at Takumi who was stunned by his swift action, and said in a deep voice, "I'm not so stupid. Not even that much confidence in your technique."

So the next moment, under the watchful eyes of more and more local drivers from Chicheng gathered at the other end, the driver of the FD and the person on the co-pilot completed an exchange that made everyone feel unbelievable.

"The first half may not run fast." Fujiwara Takumi explained in advance: "I haven't touched an RX-7 car for a long time, and I need time to get familiar with it."

In this case, it is actually a humble rhetoric.

As a rally driver who worked for some small companies temporarily and traveled around before he obtained the WRC qualification and signed a contract with Toyota, Fujiwara Takumi developed the ability to quickly adapt to models with different performances early on.

Besides, it is the RX-7 model that he is very familiar with.

Although it's been a long time since I've really started to drive it, as long as I run a few corners, I can basically familiarize myself with its characteristics and display [-]% to [-]% of its strength.

After all, this is not a formal mountain road race, but a simple running method to guide the throttle control, and the speed itself is not the most important thing.

But his words fall into the ears of others who don't know the truth, it seems like an understatement, but it is actually an arrogant declaration.

Strangely, Keisuke Takahashi, for the first time, had no reaction to this.

Ever since he watched with his own eyes, Fujiwara Takumi, who still maintained a calm expression, completed the operation to fully enter the acceleration state of FD within 0.3 seconds, which was so short that he could not catch up in the blink of an eye...

His Adam's apple rolled unconsciously.

The next line of sight never moved away from the opponent's every move for an instant.
