Chapter 49: The Second Half
The speed of the RX7 has been exerted to the extreme, and the two cars are also driving on the mountain road in a straight line, but you can clearly feel that the yellow car shadow behind it is like a nightmare that cannot be shaken off.
Keisuke Takahashi will not allow himself to fail, let alone allow the first half of the race to be dumped by this EG6.
Feeling the close pursuit of this RX7, Takeuchi Hide's eyes calmly swept the rearview mirror, he knew that in this battle, Keisuke Takahashi was bound to do his best to fight for victory.
The sharp roar of the engine was like a storm, completely suppressing the sound of the EG6.
Ignited the flame of the mountain road!
The entire Akina Mountain trembled.
The driver needs a steady state of mind, he is a lonely boat in the whirlpool of the sea, and if he has the idea of turning his back, he will lose everything. And with hope, we can break through many obstacles and reach the other side!
Here it comes!
His eyes swept over a sharp bend, and Takeuchi Shu quickly adjusted his movements, and in the moment of cutting into the corner, he grasped the action and timing perfectly. As long as he holds the advantage of corners, no matter how much Keisuke Takahashi uses the advantage of straight-line acceleration, it will be useless.
When the body moves sideways and completes the corner, it takes less than two seconds to throw it out.
The RX7 followed, and the sound of the tires of the two cars grinding was sharper than the cold wind in the valley, and the noise of the cicadas stopped.
At the moment when Keisuke Takahashi came out of the corner, he saw that the EG6 that was still in the lead position and pulled the distance was no longer as surprised and angry as he was at the beginning, but an adaptation.
Although I don't know how fast this man enters the corner, why can he be so fast......
The only thought now is to try to keep up with this guy, as long as he is still within a safe distance, there is hope for victory. Akinayama still had countless corners to challenge, and with the five consecutive hairpin bends at the last minute, he didn't believe that there would be any good fruit to eat if he went through continuous corners at this speed.
In Takahashi's view, there is definitely a possibility of failure in this very risky way of entering the corner.
Once you fail, or expose any flaws and weaknesses, you have the hope of turning defeat into victory.
The race entered a white-hot situation, when the two cars one after the other, constantly driving in and out of the corner, after completing the battle again and again, although the EG6 maintained a large distance, but the RX7 still did not leave the sight of Takeuchi Xiu.
Well?
Seeing the RX7 in the rearview mirror, which was firmly stable and had never been thrown off, Takeuchi Shu quickly knew what Keisuke Takahashi's trick was when he entered the corner.
This guy is really learning and putting it into practice. When Takeuchi noticed that Keisuke Takahashi had actually changed his running style, a wry smile appeared on his face.
For no other reason, Keisuke Takahashi, as an opponent, actually gave up his drift technique. Instead, he adopted a very familiar running style, which was his own guidance to Iketani in the last race.
If drifting techniques don't get the fastest way to get in and out of corners, then use the most common way...... Turn!
Keisuke Takahashi is really smart, and his RX7 is actually more suitable than the S13 in this way, adapting to the rhythm of the opponent as much as possible. Because of the rotary engine and lightweight design, combined with the low center of gravity of the body, this car is more suitable for becoming a "cornering machine".
Take the S13 as an example, although the hard cornering can retain most of the horsepower, but when pushing the head, due to the lack of steering ratio, only a part of the space can be reserved.
And a car like the RX7, even if it doesn't drift, can play an ability, that is, people who can't drift can also become a master. Of course, such as Keisuke Takahashi's opening method, it still needs to cut the angle and constantly adjust the body to make technical cooperation.
The Takahashi brothers, who have always been famous for the strategies of their eldest brother Ryosuke Takahashi. In fact, Keisuke Takahashi, who is the younger brother, is not unintelligent, but he is just covered by this excellent older brother.
He was able to quickly learn from Iketani's methods and follow the car throughout the first half of the race, as evidenced by this.
The street lamps shook his mind, but when Takeuchi Xiu's eyes fell on the yellow car shadow, it was just a few touches, but there was no change in mentality, because he came up with this idea, and naturally there was a way to crack it.
Now he guesses that Keisuke Takahashi's idea should be that this pure running style plus the power of the RX7 can support it to five consecutive hairpin corners and decide the real winner with himself.
Halfway through Mt. Akina, the wind in the valley became stronger at night. This had an impact on both cars, as the airflow caused the body to lose some of its stability.
The world of Takeuchi Shu and Keisuke Takahashi has filtered out these external factors.
They, like the car, embody sprint and determination!
RX7's death-and-death follow-up gave hope to the RedSuns members who were holding walkie-talkies and waiting at various mountain road nodes.
In their minds, it is impossible for Keisuke Takahashi to lose to this EG6.
As long as the RX7 maintains this distance, it can only be regarded as a state of following, rather than being completely suppressed.
It's getting closer!
Keisuke Takahashi knew that in the second half of the race, most of them were sharp corners and U-shaped corners, which increased in difficulty and tested the handling of corners even more. He now has to use this awkward run to keep up with EG6. However, in the U-shaped corner, you can only use the drift technique you are familiar with.
But now......
The most terrifying reality is that this man's drift allows him to see despair.
If you drift into a corner, your speed will only be slower and you will be delayed more. This result...... It's something he never dreamed of!
Took a deep breath.
Keisuke Takahashi's palm was against the steering wheel, looking at the purple car, he now understood the explanation that his eldest brother had given him before he set off.
This man is really strong enough to make people lose confidence.
Seeing the warning sign of Mt. Akinayama reappearing, Takeuchi knew that the race had entered the second half.
The finish line is getting closer and closer!
But the moment the curve came, Takeuchi Xiu's hands and feet did not have any mud and water.
The EG6 swings beautifully, cutting a perfect arc through the corners.
I don't feel tired, and I enjoy the moment when the car finishes my imagination!
So throughout the game, he was relaxed with a smile on his face.
And in another picture.
Keisuke Takahashi's hair was wet and sticking to his forehead, his whole body was tense, and his eyes were solemn.
His hands grip the steering wheel, following the EG6 into the corner for a second.
A struggle and hesitation arose in the heart.
Is it drifting, or is it turning around to keep up with that guy?
If it's a drift...... It's really going to lose.
It seems that we can only stick to the current way of running.
As he drove the RX7 into the corner again, Keisuke Takahashi looked at the purple EG6 and had a lot of thoughts in his heart.
Will this man look at the rearview mirror and laugh at his running style?
