Chapter 66: The First Departure

After the official introduction of all the teams, the next thing to do is the much-anticipated opening match.

The Big 8 and Kami teams each have two cars in the race, and everyone is now waiting for the long-overdue grid to be announced.

Speaking of which, the rules for the ERC race change every year, and it's a very controversial and interesting event that precedes each race.

However, the rules for the start of any motor race are nothing more than sequential and reverse starts.

Take the GTCC touring car championship as an example, the track race is arranged through the qualifying race, that is, the driver who wins the pole position can start first, which is not much room for debate, since ancient times, it is only on a first-come, first-served basis, to some extent, this rule can also be called a kind of sequential start.

However, ERC, in the past few years, the race has also formulated the starting rules according to the driver's points, but sometimes it starts in order, and sometimes it is arranged in reverse order, which inevitably makes the audience and friends dizzy.

The reverse starting method is the opposite, that is, the better the group, the closer to the end of the grid, which is very similar to diving, weightlifting and other sports, the masters always put the finale at the end.

But why do the rules keep changing? The reason for this is due to the fact that the track format and track races are very different from those of the ERC.

As we all know, the track race is all asphalt tracks, and ERC has not only asphalt roads, but also gravel, ice and snow roads because of the freedom to choose the competition venue.

If you look at the gravel-dominated track of the Swiss Race, it is fair to say that no single group wants to start at the top of the grid.

The gravel rolls around in a variety of sizes, which greatly affects the grip of the tyres, which is almost always the most important thing in most motorsports.

In this way, the car that starts first will inevitably face the largest amount of gravel, and as the race continues to deepen, the gravel on the track will also be swept away by the car that starts in front and clears out a lot.

Then the problem is simple, ERC will definitely arrange the team with good results to start last, after all, the strength of the people is there.

Sometimes, in order to prevent the disparity between the teams' results from widening, the ERC will set unfair rules for the high-scoring teams.

On the one hand, it increases the competitiveness of the racing competition, and on the other hand, it also improves the viewing experience for fans and enthusiasts, which is the best of both worlds.

While waiting, all the members of the caravan of gods prayed silently.

"Sequential departure!"

"Departure in order!"

A game is a game, although Mo Shu has extraordinary strength, but who doesn't want to take advantage of the time, place and people.

After a while, the official list of the starting grid was finally given, and the Divine Team was the first to start.

"Hey... It seems that there is no escape from the fate of the 'sweeper' after all! Many members of the team sighed.

The sweeper is also the nickname given by ERC fans to the first few car groups.

The meaning is very simple, that is, the front car clears the road obstacles, so that the opponent behind can improve the performance, and it looks like a real wrong!

However, in this opener, Mo Shu was the first to start, and Mo Shu felt that it was okay.

In his mind, this first start can be described as the opening game of the opener, and it is not this moment that the media and fans from all over the world look forward to every year.

For Mo Shu, this is an excellent time to increase his popularity, but the premise is that the results must be good!

He doesn't want to be the laughing stock of fans around the world because of his poor grades, and it's not interesting to be famous for this.

"Mo Shu, as the first driver to start the ERC this season, can you tell us how you feel?" The officially authorized event reporter caught up with the microphone and asked.

Mo Shu was reluctant to be interviewed before the game, but Wang Yu told him that this was the official designated part of the game, not to mention that it was not possible.

"It's an honor and I believe I can come out on top." Mo Shu's answer was simple and clear, full of confidence.

"Cut! Coming out on top? Roger and fans from other teams on the field snorted with disdain when they saw this interview.

In addition, this is still a global simultaneous live broadcast, TV and the Internet have official signals, and there are more than a few voices of disdain.

Especially in the webcast room, as well as on the major racing forums, all over the world at this time are full of voices that look down on the gods team and Mo Shu.

"Who is this? Just those two words? Still so big? I, a fan of the British Empire, were dissatisfied. ”

"I know upstairs that the gods are from Huaxia, but my big French fans are not their fans."

"Does Huaxia have a decent fleet of vehicles? Ethiopian fans said they hadn't heard of it. ”

"It doesn't matter if you've heard of it or not, anyway, I only support the Kaben Black Gold team, I'm from Germany."

"On the top floor, Germany is the strongest!"

"You Carbons, we bull-headed kamikaze fans haven't spoken yet."

"You archipelago dogs, we fans of the William Pirate Convoy haven't allowed you to speak."

"Everyone, don't make any noise, anyway, everyone is not optimistic about the god convoy, right?"

"That's right! In the tank! ”

"+10 in support!"

"Support +300!"

Fortunately, Mo Shu can't see these comments, and if it doesn't work, it will affect the performance, Wang Yu sighed and locked the screen of his mobile phone, he, the team manager, was a lot more relaxed in the rally, after all, many things on the track were handed over to Wang Yining, the navigator who was sitting in the co-pilot.

"Mo Shu, I was very careful when surveying the road, don't worry, the matter of pilotage is handed over to me." Wang Yining cheered Mo Shu up.

"No need, you can rest more, just keep the tank halo all the time." I thought that Mo Shu would be a little nervous, but I didn't expect him to be so light-hearted.

"What? Don't you need me to lead the way? Wang Yining's eyes widened, but she stayed up all night to finish the road book.

"No, have you forgotten how I did during the game?" Mo Shu has a good idea.

"The game session? Is it just that you are pulling that sister Wang and Thomas game game? Wang Yining thought for a long time before he suddenly realized.

"That's right, the road book is all in my head!" Mo Shu nodded his head through the helmet and said with a smile.

When did Mo Shu still have the ability to memorize road books? Wang Yining, the second monk was puzzled.

Anyway, it's about to start, so don't think about it so much, Wang Yining hurriedly turned on the tank aura in his mind, and Mo Shu's speed aura also shone with a shimmer.

The drivers are in position, the cars are in place, and the referees are in place.

The first battle of the ERC will be kicked off by Mo Shu and Wang Yining in person, and all the personnel of the god team held their breath, and all the fans in front of the screen were silent.

At the same time, the teams of the eight major manufacturers are waiting for Mo Shu to sweep them away, and the two fierce rivals of Kaben Black Gold and Munich Light are also waiting to sweep the god team.

"Whew~~~"

The time on the timer began to pass quickly, and Mo Shu was another perfect god start.
