098 Showdown
The people at the intersection of the mountain, hearing the news from the observation point, they were crazy in their minds to make up the picture at that time, Zhang Yifei accelerated in the corner and controlled the steering with the throttle, how powerful is this control ability, in order to avoid the vehicle from losing control?
"I thought that this mainland boy was powerful, but I never thought he was so strong!"
"Oh my God, I almost surpassed Xie Tiancheng, do you really want to win?"
"It doesn't exist, I have gossip thanks, Tiancheng is invincible, he can't lose!"
The divided drivers are still arguing fiercely for their supporters, each with their own reasons, and they can't convince the other that the debate can only be ended when the winner is decided.
"Andy, are you still sure that Xie Tiancheng will win?"
Zhao Jun asked Sun Minghua at this time, with a victor's smile on his face, he was basically pressed by Sun Minghua in the recent period, and now he finally waited for the opportunity to counterattack, but it was a pity that Zhang Yifei was not from their Causeway Bay team.
"Has Zhang Yifei surpassed it?"
Sun Minghua also asked rhetorically.
"Not yet, but I'm close to overtaking."
"It's normal to be close to being in a car, Xie Tiancheng has had this crisis, and he won't give Zhang Yi a chance."
Sun Minghua's tone was firm, but in fact, he was a little nervous just now, he didn't expect Zhang Yifei to find an overtaking opportunity so quickly.
According to the previous assumption, let alone let Zhang Yifei have a chance to overtake, in the first half, he was already able to throw Zhang Yifei off, and the second half directly announced the victory. Now it seems that he has put Zhang Yifei in a very strong position, and it turns out that this kid is even stronger than he thought!
Maybe Sun Minghua is also the idea of most people, he has won several underground masters and won the queen of the newcomer in Guangdong Province one after another, at least there are few people who have no IQ and purely look down on Zhang Yifei, and everyone generally agrees that Zhang Yifei has a certain strength.
It's just that this has a certain strength, and there is a big gap between thinking that he will definitely win, after all, age is here, and most people don't have a high degree of trust in the hairy boy. Another point is the heritage, whether it is Zhang Yifei's record or the mainland racing culture, the heritage is not enough.
This is very similar to the perception of giants in football, in the face of an emerging and powerful opponent, even if the giants have declined, most people will still choose to believe in the giants, because of the existence of the heritage, they have created too many achievements and miracles.
On the Nissan 300ZX, fine beads of sweat had appeared on Xie Tiancheng's forehead, and the scene just now was also thrilling for him. If it weren't for the last-minute moment, he urgently adjusted the body posture with full throttle, and took advantage of the slight advantage that the speed out of the corner was so fast than Zhang Yifei, and he might have been overtaken by Zhang Yifei in the compound corner.
It can be said that when Xie Tiancheng ran with Japan's top mountain road masters, there was no such tension, Zhang Yifei actually used his power to drift in the compound corner, and relied on the throttle to control the steering throughout the whole process, this kind of control difficulty is already the peak of the mountain road.
Although they were not overtaken in the end, the distance between the two cars became close to the car in front again, and the little distance that was finally pulled away before was caught up by a corner.
Zhang Yifei in the rear car, at this moment, also has a trace of regret in his heart, just now he almost overtook successfully, but because he drifted for too long, even if he kept replenishing fuel to maintain the speed of the car throughout the whole process, the power loss was still very large.
At the key point of the final corner, the acceleration was not as good as Xie Tiancheng's full-throttle out of the corner, and he was still pressed behind the car.
However, Zhang Yifei quickly adjusted his mentality, and there are triple hairpin bends and compound bends behind him, which are also overtaking sections, and it is not completely without opportunities.
In addition, there is another important point, that is, Xie Tiancheng's strength has won Zhang Yifei's recognition, even if he really loses, it is not ashamed to lose to this kind of top mountain master. After all, he is not a professional mountain road rider, and he has not run twice on this Quanjin Highway, so losing is actually a normal situation in a sense.
At this time, Zhang Yifei took advantage of the distance between the cars shortened by the previous compound bend and began to constantly force the 300ZX in front, wanting to find an overtaking point to put pressure on the other party.
But Xie Tiancheng blocked the route very well, and always chose the shortest route, so that Zhang Yifei did not have the slightest overtaking space. The two of them were in a stalemate one after the other, and came to the three-in-a-row hairpin bend of the Tsuen Kam Highway.
In general, in order to slow down the slope, in some places with particularly large slopes, this kind of continuous bend is used, and the final point on Akinayama is the five-consecutive hairpin bend, which is five consecutive big bends.
This kind of continuous cornering is a great test of the driver's judgment of the route and the handling of the vehicle. At the same time, for the laggards, this is the best place to overtake, as long as you catch a mistake in the opponent's continuous corners, you can overtake successfully.
Therefore, the three consecutive hairpins, whether it is Xie Tiancheng or Zhang Yifei, are in the spirit of twelve points at the moment, and both of them understand that this will be one of the key points of the whole game.
Especially Xie Tiancheng, the compound bend was almost overtaken by Zhang Yifei just now, if nothing else, Zhang Yifei will definitely try this triple hairpin bend. Because the route of the Tsuen Kam Highway has now passed the halfway point, the last place with a high probability of overtaking is the second compound bend at the foot of the mountain.
But at that time, the pressure on the rear car will be much greater than it is now, so many drivers put the real overtaking point on this triple hairpin corner, which is also the most critical point of victory and defeat on the Tsuen Kam Highway.
It is precisely because of this traditional history that there is still a group of street riders standing outside the guardrail at the triple hairpin corner, waiting to see the overtaking scene happen. After all, hearing other people's descriptions from the walkie-talkie is never as exciting as seeing it with your own eyes.
The roar of the engine came from afar above the mountain road, and it became more and more obvious on the silent and uninhabited mountain road.
"Here, Mitsubishi EVO and Nissan 300ZX are coming down!"
"Prepare for the video, it's definitely a wonderful historical scene!"
Street riders outside the guardrail leaned out to see the vehicles that were about to appear at the end of the corner.
You must know that the speed of the previous two people has broken the record of the Tsuen Kam Highway, and the time to reach the three-consecutive hairpin corner is already more than two seconds faster than the record five years ago, and at this speed, the finish of the race may really be more than four seconds ahead!
Four seconds is a very big improvement for the mountain road record, so it is destined that this event will become a classic battle on the Tsuen Kam Highway in the future, so someone has taken out the DV machine and is ready to record the possible overtaking, which may be a historical witness in the future.
Zhang Yifei and Xie Tiancheng both know the importance of the three-consecutive hairpin bend in front, and because it is a continuous large-angle bend, it is called a low-speed bend in the racing car.
The first hairpin is a right turn, and Hong Kong Island is on the right side, so Xie Tiancheng has moved the 300ZX to the reverse road, close to the corner angle, and does not give Zhang Yifei any opportunity to overtake on the inside road.
But when he didn't expect it, Zhang Yifei did not follow him to change lanes, and was still close to the outside of the corner. Seeing this kind of move, Xie Tiancheng had some ominous premonitions in his heart, could it be that Zhang Yifei could overtake outside?
