"Wangan?"

When he heard this familiar place name, Xie Tiancheng was stunned for a moment, and then the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

"You're a world-class Formula driver now, why do you still want to go to the bayside?"

"Revisit the old place, isn't this time the most lively time for the bay shoreline?"

To be honest, when Zhang Yifei came to Tokyo, he didn't have much energy and motivation to sit on the plane for more than ten hours.

But now seeing Xie Tiancheng and seeing this last king-class sports car Honda NSX, those past memories and interest have come up. The last time I was in the bay, I was just a bystander and passerby, and now I revisit the old place, and I don't know how it feels.

"OK, since you want to go, let's go and have a look."

Xie Tiancheng has no ink, and for professional riders in Japan, Wangan is almost an unavoidable term. Compared to the rest of the world, where there is a clear line between professional and underground, Japan's Gulf Coast is a shared "runway" where you can always meet active and retired professional players from all over the world, even the top ones.

Leaving the airport, NSX headed towards the shoreline and watched the bustling scenery of Tokyo Bay, a feeling unlike anything else before.

"Tiancheng, how are you running in your Japanese GT, I heard someone say you are third?"

Zhang Yifei opened his mouth to ask, and the group of fans just now muttered in a whisper, he probably heard the relatively simple words GT and third.

"Well, I finished third at this year's All Japan GT Awards, and next year I'm going to represent the ARTA team in the World Touring Car Championship."

"You kid can!"

Zhang Yifei happily patted Xie Tiancheng on the shoulder, being able to compete in the world's top touring car events is equivalent to stepping into the ranks of top drivers.

Even 20 years later, there are only a handful of Chinese drivers who can participate in the world's first-class touring car events. is the only one who can run the results, and Ma Qinghua is the only one.

Xie Tiancheng's breakthrough can be regarded as changing the original history in a sense.

"Don't scold me, the gap between me and you is getting bigger and bigger."

If you want to be two people, you can also fight on Qixing Mountain and on the Tsuen Kam Highway on Hong Kong Island. And now Zhang Yifei has obtained a super driver's license, and he has to fight with the strongest drivers in the world, and even has his own winners and losers.

When he was at the Toyota Youth Training Base in Japan, Xie Tiancheng and Zhang Yifei had an agreement to work together to compete in professional competitions, but today, Xie Tiancheng can't catch up with Zhang Yifei's footsteps.

"Don't make a fuss, it's not a professional event, you tell me to run GT, maybe I have to count down."

Zhang Yifei's rampant has always been only aimed at outsiders, and he has never shown any sense of superiority to Xie Tiancheng, a true friend, even if in fact the gap between the achievements of the two people is indeed getting bigger and bigger.

And to be honest, Zhang Yifei has always felt a little sorry for Xie Tiancheng, his talent and strength are very strong. It's just that this guy has never been enterprising before, and he is still running underground to play when he has a good foundation, delaying the best professional training period.

It wasn't until I met Zhang Yifei that I was infected by his professional mentality and chose to enter the Japanese GT competition. If this point in time had been advanced by a few years, perhaps Xie Tiancheng would have already achieved results in the World Touring Car Championship.

can only say that talent and foundation can't afford to waste!

For Japan's roads, Xie Tiancheng can be said to be familiar with the road, and soon drove NSX onto the capital's Gaowan shoreline. However, this time it is different from the previous GTR, which was frantically provoked, and it is obvious that some Japanese drivers took the initiative to give way to the turn signal after seeing Xie Tiancheng's Honda NSX, instead of provoking.

"You often run to the shore now, huh?"

After driving to a few cars to give way, Zhang Yifei opened his mouth to ask.

"Hmm."

Xie Tiancheng nodded, and then continued: "Before, I mainly focused on mountain roads, but now I am running track races, and naturally I run more streets. ”

"No wonder so many Wangan riders salute your car, it seems that your kid has been doing well lately."

"Okay, 4th fastest this year."

"Damn, the third place in all Japan GT is only the 4th fastest?"

Zhang Yifei was really a little surprised at this time, he knew that there were many professional riders running along the Japanese Gulf Coastline. In particular, before the major traffic accident in '04, the Japanese police basically checked very loosely, and it can be called the mecca of street racing all over the world.

Later, after the traffic accident, the Japanese police began to crack down on the Bay Shoreline racing, and the position of the Tokyo underground racing car was transferred to the capital high C1 line. At the same time, there are also relatively fewer professional riders involved, and they are more low-key.

Except for the most core group, basically professional drivers will not easily reveal their identity and avoid some troublesome things.

At this point in time, it can be regarded as the golden age of professional drivers participating in the Bay Coast underground racing. Regardless, the All Japan GT Race is the oldest and most powerful touring car race in Asia.

There are countless world-class drivers from GT events, not only local drivers are strong, but foreign aid from overseas can also be said to be terrifying. For example, Benoit Treluyer of GTR Racing won the 24 Hours of Le Mans.

Xie Tiancheng's status as the third place in Japan's GT looks like a third-place finisher, which is not very good. But in reality, he is already the best touring driver in Asia, and he is the dominant driver in any street race.

With this kind of strength, occupying the "local" advantage, they can only run fourth, so what level of drivers do the top three have to be?

F1？ Le Mans? Or DTM? In addition to these drivers of the world's top professional events, Zhang Yifei can't think of anyone better than Xie Tiancheng.

"Well, you should know that there are a lot of world-class drivers running around the shoreline. And I'm a professional driver after all, so it's normal that I can't focus on staying in the rankings and being overcome. ”

"Do you know who the top three are?"

"The third is a Le Mans P3 driver, the second is this year's All Japan GT Champion Arsaharu Ide, and the first is a retired F1 driver, you should have heard of it."

"Who?"

"Nigel Mansell, the Lion King of England."

Mansell?

When he heard the name, Zhang Yifei was still a little surprised, because he had just experienced the Indica program, and the first driver in history to win both F1 and Indy races was this Mansell.

Later, this guy also participated in the Le Mans endurance race, as well as the German touring car race and the world supercar GT event, which can be said to have played through the world's major motor sports events!

"Is he still in Japan?"

"Of course not, he just ran and played by chance, and he ended up running the fastest speed of the year."

"What, you're planning to run with him on the shoreline?"

Hearing this, the corners of Zhang Yifei's mouth smiled, and he did not deny it. It would be interesting to have a run with the British legend, who hasn't tried two F1 drivers yet, what it's like to have a street duel.

In the process of chatting, Xie Tiancheng had already driven the Honda NSX into the underground garage of the original building. It's time for the Cinderella race on the Gulf Coast Line, so it's full of cars waiting for the next high-speed race.

Seeing Xie Tiancheng's NSX come in, the underground garage, which was still very noisy before, suddenly quieted down, and there was a kind of surprise and excitement in the eyes of many people.

The third place in all Japan GT is the top driver in Japan, and it is not too much to say that it is even the top in Asia. Generally speaking, at a level like Xie Tiancheng, although he still runs the bay shoreline, it is actually quite difficult to meet it once, so his sudden arrival surprised many bayside riders.

"Yes, the pay is much higher than last time."

Zhang Yifei teased, obviously feeling that Xie Tiancheng's status in the bay shore has improved.

In the face of Zhang Yifei's ridicule, Xie Tiancheng just smiled, and then found a vacant seat and prepared to park the Honda NSX.

But at this time, a sharp brake tail flick sounded, which was quite harsh in the enclosed space of the underground garage.

A Toyota Supra GT performance car, with a drifting equation, quickly overtook Xie Tiancheng's Honda NSX, and preemptively parked the car inside.

Is there still a parking space grabber in this place?

When he saw this scene, Zhang Yifei was a little stunned, the bay coastline was originally a place for street competitions, and if there was a grievance, he would run a game to solve it, basically no one would do such a provocative and tasteless thing.

However, this Toyota Supra GT performance car shows that the driving identity is extraordinary.

Because this is not the ordinary version of the Toyota Bull Demon King driven by Li Tao on Qixing Mountain, the full name of this car is Toyota Supra TRD 3000 GT model, and the suffix can be described as outrageously long.

Just like the Mitsubishi 3000GT of the four kings of the Japanese system, the suffix is hung with the GT letter, which means that they are born to compete in Japanese GT events, that is, special racing vehicles.

However, the Mitsubishi 3000GT can still be simply bought by ordinary people, but the three letters TRD in the name of this Supra mean that it is specially customized by Toyota's Racing Development Department. Just like before Mercedes-Benz did not acquire AMG in the early days, the AMG letters were hung on the same model, which was also customized and transformed.

Of course, with the acquisition of Mercedes-Benz, Mercedes-Benz AMG's models have become production cars, rather than specially customized modifications.

So Zhang Yifei can probably guess that the person who can drive this Toyota Supra GT is basically a professional driver. It's just that why did the other party do this kind of thing, could it be that he had a grudge against Xie Tiancheng?

Sure enough, when Zhang Yifei looked at Xie Tiancheng, he found that his face was ugly. You must know that Xie Tiancheng's personality has always been relatively indifferent, and he is not easy to get excited or particularly angry, and now this situation is definitely that the two people have grievances.

At the same time, the appearance of this scene also made the street riders in the underground garage commotion, if nothing else, there will be a good show to be staged.
