Whether it's a cross-country rally or a sprint rally, it's made up of several stages. These stages are divided into two sections: a driving section and a special section.

The driving section is to race in accordance with local traffic rules and complete the process from the starting point to the event assembly area. In the driving section, all the time is given uniformly, and the time of each car is not calculated separately. All competitors must arrive at the stage assembly point at the same time and will be subject to a time penalty for arriving late or early. In such a section, even speeding or violating the traffic rules in the section will be punished accordingly.

At the start of the race, all the participating cars pulled out in a long line and drove slowly along the established route, as if it were a grand parade of cars, not like a race.

But everyone knows in their hearts that the calm of the storm is at this time. The real arena of the Dakar is those devilish special stages.

After a calm 115km drive from Paris to Portimão, the competition for the special stage began with the instructions given by the race team!

Li Fanyu's Juque was in the middle of the convoy, sandwiched between the T3 and T4 groups.

As soon as the road section began, the K2 was the focus of the EXP team with the team's honor logo on the door.

It's not because the dazzling array of honor stickers is eye-catching, but it's ...... In the eyes of everyone, this car is too weird.

There has never been such a car on the market that is full of edges and corners, simply sharp and fierce, and can pierce the eyes of bad people.

At this time, in the helicopter above the team, the event commentary team is broadcasting the scene in real time.

Two commentators from Paris are judging the products of Zhengxin Juque;

"Hey, Mondstadt, this year's EXP group is really refreshing. Not only did TSL sponsor the team and put its latest product RP into this year's Dakar, but even Zhengxin, which has been in the limelight recently, also brought its latest pure electric off-road vehicle Juque. In your opinion, who will win this year's EXP category?"

"Oh, Peto, that's hard to say. You know, anything can happen in Dakar. Especially for a new energy car like the EXP group, whose stability is not easy to estimate, maybe both cars will hang up halfway."

"Haha, Peto, you're going to be slandered by both TSL and Zhengxin if you say that!, but I've heard that bets on the EXP group have been hot lately, and the game has even surpassed the T1 group, which is the favorite for many tournaments. ”

"Yes, I've heard that, too. Well, just now you asked me which team in the EXP group has the better chance of winning, so let me tell you, I bought 2,000 euros of TSL."

......

When the news came over the radio that the race team had announced the start of the special stage, Kuraki Hei glanced in the rearview mirror.

Seeing that the boxy iron box of the Zhengxin K2 team was following behind him unhurriedly, he pursed his lips.

"Kuraki-kun, dry daddy!" Aso, the navigator beside him, shouted, "The winner of the EXP class and a million dollars are beckoning to you!"

"Haha!" Kuragi Ping couldn't help but rejoice when he heard the cheering of his navigator and thought about the bonus that Furui Yan had promised before.

However, just as he was about to slowly give the navigator a gesture back, he heard a "whirring" around him, and immediately, a black shadow passed by him.

“TF！？”

BEVs have one advantage, or disadvantage. That is, even when the electric motor is at a high power output, it does not emit the surging sound of an internal combustion engine car.

So when Li Fanyu suddenly accelerated and suddenly increased the speed from 60KM/h to 130KM/h, neither Kuraki nor the T3 car in front of him reacted at all!

The vigorous giant is like a big black fish, with a flexibility that does not match its shape, shuttling back and forth in the traffic. Ignoring the fact that this is a rally with the aim of running long distances and challenging nature.

If you see Juque's driving, people who don't know what kind of race this is will even have a thought -, this is a sprint race, right?!

You know, the charm of the Dakar lies in the fact that man and machine depend on each other to challenge the harsh and unreasonable nature.

In such a challenge, speed is not the most important thing. Human will, the stability of the car, and the team's ability to support each other are the fundamental factors that determine the outcome of the race.

Therefore, in the past Dakar, whether it was in the arid deserts of Africa or in the wetlands of South America, almost all cars were chasing and chasing themselves under the premise of taking car protection as the first priority.

This kind of race is definitely exciting, but the teams and drivers have some scruples, so naturally there is a little less passion and speed.

So in front of the TV, in front of the computer. Seeing the No. 66 car of Zhengxin K2 team shuttling between the cars like a snake, the audience was shocked;

"TF! What is the No. 66 car of the Zhengxin K2 team going to do?

"That driver is crazy! At such a speed, even a car with an internal combustion engine consumes a lot of fuel and tires. Not to mention the pure electric models that rely on battery life! I dare to pack tickets, such a tactical strategy, Zhengxin K2 team will definitely not survive the last!"

"Exciting! After watching the Dakar for so many sessions, it's the first time I've seen such a stunned young man!"

"Damn! I bought the betting of the Zhengxin K2 team!

Although Li Fanyu is a Le Mans champion, this guy has never participated in a long-distance cross-country rally on his resume! It seems that this guy regards the Dakar as a Le Mans race! Fortunately, I didn't buy Zhengxin this time!"

“…… The original price of 1500 Zhengxin K2 team betting coupons, now 1200 euros transfer, there is no ...... to take over?"

In the galloping giant que, Han Yu, who was sitting on the co-pilot, tightly grasped the deputy above the door. looked at Li Fanyu with a worried face.

"Li Dong, it's not okay to enter the cross-country stage at such a fast speed, and according to my thoughts, are we more stable? After all, ...... We'll have to wait for the T5 team's backup car, or ...... What should I do if I run out of batteries?"

Han Yu pointed to the fuel gauge on the dashboard of Juque, feeling the feeling of a boat at high speed brought by Juque's high suspension.

Li Fanyu looked at the power, and then looked at the several competition groups behind him that were already messed up and mixed with each other, and smiled calmly.

"Take your way, I'll show you today, the limit speed of off-road!"
