“Power-Drift!”

Lu Ningping, who was sitting in the co-pilot, was full of shock in his heart at the moment, Zhang Yifei's cornering technology just now, described in professional terms as Power-Drift (power drift), this drift method is mostly used to modify rear-wheel drive cars, using the high horsepower and large torque of the high-performance engine, so that the steering wheel can be adjusted at a small angle to forcibly flick the tail sharply, and turn in a way close to the inner road.

This drifting method can be said to have taken a completely different strategy from Shen Dong, Shen Dong directly relied on the four-wheel drive horsepower to quickly enter the corner, and then the whole car used the way of the big bend to draw a big arc out of the corner. However, Zhang Yifei chose to stick close to the inward bend, almost did not occupy the opposite lane, and quickly exited the bend with the shortest curve.

And Zhang Yifei's operation is more accurate and delicate than Shen Dong, if this is the state of the two professional racing cars are very close, then Zhang Yifei can rely on the advantage of the inside bend to overtake directly in the corner! This way of cornering is quite difficult, after all, Shen Dong almost uses two lanes, while Zhang Yifei only uses one lane, and the exponential reduction of space requires a higher level of operation for the driver.

Shen Dong in GTR was originally very satisfied with his corner, and he had a smile on his face. But when the rearview mirror headlights shone through, the smile on Shen Dong's face froze instantly, he didn't expect Zhang Yifei to be able to turn the corner so quickly, almost next to himself.

That's impossible! Shen Dong roared in his heart, and the first bend could also say that he underestimated this high school student and gave Zhang Yi a flight. But after feeling Zhang Yifei's strength, Shen Dong had already decided that he was Lu Ningping's apprentice, and there was no reservation in cornering technology, but he was still caught up by Zhang Yifei, and he also narrowed the distance between the cars.

Shen Dong, who is almost a semi-professional driver, has had the experience of running road races with professional drivers several times, and it is no exaggeration to say that even if he ran with a professional driver in that corner just now, the distance may be shortened, but it will definitely not be so exaggerated as a body closer.

In other words, Zhang Yifei's cornering level is no longer inferior to those professional drivers that Shen Dong has come into contact with, a high school student has the strength of a professional driver, and others will probably think he is crazy! Even if he is Lu Ningping's apprentice, unless he has been training in racing since he was a child, it is impossible to have this level!

Faced with this unbelievable reality, the expression on Shen Dong's face has begun to be a little hideous, he does not allow himself to lose to a high school student, which is the biggest insult to his racing career. So at this time, Shen Dong's right foot increased, and the accelerator pedal was pressed hard, and he didn't plan to give Zhang Yifei any more chance to close the distance between the cars.

Listening to the roar from the GTR engine of the car in front, Zhang Yifei could probably guess Shen Dong's emotions at the moment, but there was a trace of disdain on his face, if the car can win by stepping on the accelerator, then what do you need to do with driving skills, who will not step on the accelerator.

And this is a mountain road, the straight line distance is not long at all, so if you step on the accelerator frantically and encounter a sharp bend, even if you drift through the corner, there will be no corner route at all. It's okay to deal with rookies, but the master duel can't take the best cornering route, that is, the situation of waiting for loss, unfortunately Zhang Yifei is that kind of master!

Soon the two cars came to a short straight front corner, and it was at this corner that Ah Le understeer due to his excessive speed and crashed directly into the guardrail. It was also at this corner that Zhang Yifei officially won his first car victory in the world.

So in this old place, Zhang Yifei doesn't plan to give Shen Dong any chance, these two consecutive corners are his overtaking points!

Shen Dong drove the GTR to the corner quickly, and his speed had reached 160km/h at the moment, even if the short straight front corner was not very steep, it was difficult to use this speed to get through the corner. In particular, GTR is prone to pushing heads, which Shen Dong naturally understands, so even if he is extremely angry in his heart, he can only brake lightly and reduce the speed to 100km/h, which is a relatively safe cornering speed.

It's just that what he didn't expect was that there was a violent engine roar in his ears, and the Ford Mustang behind him did not choose to slow down at this time, and even accelerated before entering the corner. According to Shen Dong's estimate, Zhang Yifei's speed at this moment has reached at least 140km/h, which is nothing in a straight line, but it is quite exaggerated to cross this corner.

Too high a cornering speed, it is easy to cause the tires to lose grip, the consequence is the whole car out of control, which is also the main cause of mountain racing accidents, is it said that the back of this kid is going to die, with this speed to corner?

Shen Dong didn't have time to think about Zhang Yifei's mental activities, because he had already rushed into the corner, and the amplitude of the short straight front curve was not large, so Shen Dong did not slip and drift, but took a slight tail flick to turn the corner, so that he could enter the straight at high speed and avoid dropping too much speed in the corner.

Almost at the same time as Shen Dong entered the corner, Zhang Yifei's Ford Mustang also rushed into the short straight front bend and still did not slow down. This is not the first time Zhang Yifei has entered the short straight front corner, with the experience of entering the last corner, Zhang Yifei has been able to accurately find the Apex point (bending center) of this short straight front corner, so that he can use the perfect arc to pass through this short straight front corner while maintaining high speed.

Drifting is only a means to get through a sharp corner, but it is not the fastest way to get through a corner, because drifting means that the tires have lost their grip and horsepower has been lost in vain, so tangential cornering is really the fastest way.

Unlike the average street rider who loves drifting, Zhang Yifei has a real professional cornering mentality, and he only pursues faster! He already has a general understanding of Shen Dong's strength, and he can barely be regarded as a master, but he is still not enough to see in front of him, and he can't give enough pressure for Zhang Yifei to have the excitement and passion of the game, so end this game early.

Shen Dong has had experience with professional drivers, and Zhang Yifei's way of cornering is to cut the bend and pass the corner with the fastest speed, which is the habit of professional drivers. It seems that Lu Ningping's appearance here today is not an accident, but to personally guide this high school student to run the mountain trail!

Seeing the Ford Mustang getting closer and closer to him, by the time he entered the short straight, the two sides were almost neck-and-neck. Through the window glass, Shen Dong saw Zhang Yifei's calm side face, as if this kind of difficult cutting and bending operation was not a problem for him at all, and overtaking was a matter of course.

Shen Dong's self-esteem, which was deeply tingled by this expression, as a quasi-professional driver of the Dongfang team, was crushed by a high school student when he came to the small place of Qixing Mountain, and Xie Tiancheng and Lu Ningping were also here, if it was spread to the East China Sea racing circle, then he would have no face to mix it up, and when he thought of this, Shen Dong's face became more and more ugly.

After the short straight, there is the exit corner, if Zhang Yifei can enter the corner first, it will mark the end of this game, and Shen Dong can enter the corner first, he can once again suppress Zhang Yifei behind him, and the race continues.

The expression on Shen Dong's face began to become fierce, and at the same time, he stepped on the accelerator, relying on the advantage of GTR's high horsepower, leading by about half a body. Just when both sides were about to enter the corner, Shen Dong, who was originally in the outer lane, directly hit the steering wheel to the right, forcibly intercepted Zhang Yifei in front of him, and used a rough and dangerous move to prevent Zhang Yifei from overtaking.
