Chapter 22: The Bend
A simplely dressed woman gave the order to start, and 16 cars rushed out of the grid like bulls.
The starting position was determined by the qualifying session held earlier, and since Su Xiji was not familiar with the car, the result of the qualifying session was not very satisfactory, and he only finished in 14th place.
The drivers in the race were not as relaxed as they were in qualifying, and everyone pressed the accelerator hard at the beginning of the race.
In a fixed track, whoever can take the advantageous position on the grid will be favored by the goddess of victory.
Of course, Miami locals who are familiar with this track also have certain natural advantages.
A retired driver named Alfonso rushed to the first place, followed by Miami native Phil.
The small black guy drove like Hamilton possessed him, and he was biting Alfonso's tail tightly, ready to overtake at any moment.
The first group only had these two cars, and the rest of the cars were crowded in the rear and no one let anyone.
At the very end, there was an old red racing car, which was Su Xiji's car at this time.
Because of the disadvantage of ranking, Su Xiji was left behind early.
Su Xi looked at the straight road near this starting point, and despaired in his heart: "This is still a bird, I can't even see Phil's ass!"
Su Xiji stepped on the accelerator to the bottom, but this is a big straight, and the competition is the ability of the car, Su Xiji can only look at the cars and sigh.
At this time, no one in the stands noticed the Honda nestled at the end, just watching with concern as to who could take the corner before the first devil's corner.
Regardless of which side has the advantage, the next two laps will be in hand.
Alfonso was always far ahead, but he didn't give it his all, as he was a professional driver and couldn't afford to compete with these amateurs.
Phil is different, and he's counting on the much-anticipated match to prove it for him.
But at this time, there was a burst of exclamation from the arena.
Several cars behind Phil collided violently as they crossed the first S-corner, and three cars were immediately knocked out.
There were also many cars that were blocked in the wake of this disaster.
Su Xiji looked at the broken parts scattered all over the place in front of him, and did not relax the accelerator.
Although this kind of scene happened on the racing track, Su Xiji, as a professional driver, has also seen many on the second ring road.
He spotted a gap and escaped the scourge with a slip.
Cars stuck in traffic can only pass through this gap after making a U-turn.
In just an instant, Su Xiji, who was in the last place, became the third.
Su Xiji looked at Phil's flickering butt and laughed: "If I catch up...... I'm just hey, hey, hey. ”
However, Phil didn't care about what was happening behind him, he just stared at Alfonso's back.
In the blink of an eye, the first lap was over, and Alfonso and Phil ran past the rostrum one after another.
This was not an unexpected result, and the real surprise was that the third person to rush over the rostrum turned out to be a red Honda.
"Wow, Lu Xiang, your boss really has two brushes!" Schmidt sighed heartily.
Lu Yan smiled and didn't say anything, just stared at the Honda with champagne.
Lu Xiang knew that although Su Xiji was racing for the first time, the sprint on the seaside road that day showed that Su Xiji was not an idle person, after all, Lu Xiang was with the car every day, and he had to endure the test of commuting rush hour.
Phil kept chasing Alfonso, not noticing a slowdown in the car in front of him.
Alfonso felt that he couldn't take himself too seriously as a professional driver, so he put a little water in it.
But in this way, he not only slowed down Phil's car, but also gave Su Xiji room to catch up.
Su Xiji looked at the takin, which was less than fifty meters away, and involuntarily stepped on the accelerator on his foot.
He had to catch up with the car before the devil cornered, otherwise the takin's advantage would be evident when he reached the big straight.
The Honda roared, and it was the first time that the old engine had withstood such violent use.
Sure enough, before the devil's corner, both cars slowed down.
But Su Xiji didn't, he wanted to rush over with the gap of two seconds.
This bend is four consecutive small S, and the entrance to the bend shrinks abruptly, which can only be used by two cars at the same time.
But in the case of ultra-high speeds, two cars cannot pass at the same time anyway.
Su Xiji's reckless move of not slowing down stunned the audience in front of the big screen.
Although they couldn't see the bend in the real situation, they were there, and everyone was staring with bated breath, and their hearts were beating wildly.
Although Lu Yan was full of confidence in Su Xiji, when he saw Su Xiji's suicide, his heart also rose to his throat.
Not only did he feel embarrassed by Su Xi, but he was afraid that in such a high-speed situation, Su Xiji would die in Huangquan.
Alfonso and Phil also saw the Honda rushing behind them like a high-speed train, and they both thought the man was crazy.
Alfonso was better, consciously giving way to the inside bend and putting his left wheel on the speed bump, not wanting to cause any surprises in an exhibition match.
But behind him, Phil wasn't so kind, he rode on the outside corner, leaving only room for theory in the inside corner.
Even Alfonso couldn't squeeze through this devil's bend at such high speed.
Su Xiji is actually very nervous, but Su Xiji is different from others, the more nervous he is, the more focused he will be.
He was going to make a bad deal for Phil at the corner, don't give him a damn,
But when Su Xiji really rushed to the corner, he found that Phil had been out of danger, and it was he who was in danger.
At this time, he no longer had a grudge with Phil in his heart, and his heart was as calm as water.
In his eyes, there was only the palm-wide inner passage.
When Su Xiji was a driver, he never drove recklessly, because he couldn't afford to pay for the Land Rover accident.
But this does not mean that Su Xiji has no talent, he pulled down the handbrake and turned the steering wheel.
All the timing was perfect, the red Honda's inside tires were off the ground, and it danced across the devil's track.
The 7,000 spectators and celebrities from all walks of life in Miami witnessed this miraculous moment.
After everyone was stunned for two seconds, they erupted in warm applause, and some fanatical car fans were so excited when they saw this moment, as if they had done it themselves.
Since the beginning of this bend, no one has ever floated through it perfectly, and no one has ever been able to float through it.
Alfonso saw the red shadow floating in front of the windshield and involuntarily extended his thumb.
Even if he was ten years younger, he wouldn't be able to do it.
And Phil could only be dumbfounded, dumbfounded, and couldn't close his mouth for a long time.
Only after experiencing all this can you feel Su Xiji's madness, and you will tremble involuntarily for that madness.
