Chapter XXVI Preparations
It's been a long time since it's been here, and it's been a drag racing showdown.
Waiting, waiting.
At the foot of this silent mountain, the sound of people talking and the low revs of the engines roared to make the familiar night scene covered with hustle and bustle.
Akina's local speedstars took on the RedSuns team from Akagi, attracting a lot of car enthusiasts. Among them are Ah Shu, who is in high spirits, and Takeuchi Shu, who cheers for Iketani.
Ah Shu knew a few partners who usually had a good relationship with Iketani, they were all members of the speedstars team, of course, he had to cheer at this moment, so as not to demolish the morale of Tyumen.
And Takeuchi Shu looked out of place, and none of the people who came knew him.
And everyone doesn't know him, only that he is the owner of this purple EG6. And his car was parked a little off, and he didn't come forward to talk, so naturally no one would care about his existence.
Wu Neixiu enjoys the purity of a person very much, he is not like Ah Shu, he can gossip, and quickly mingle with these young people who play with cars. At his current age, he is already an old guy in the driver's circle.
There is no way to talk about it with these young boys who are seven or eight years apart.
Chewing gum and addicted to cigarettes, Takeuchi Shu leans on his car and looks at the real protagonist.
Challengers from Akagi, the RedSuns team led by the Takahashi brothers!
About 20 meters away from him, the most eye-catching thing was not the small person, but the RX7, which was one of the cars in the race! A bright, bright yellow sports car with an all-over body.
That's right, it's Keisuke Takahashi's car!
The full name is Efini.RX-7.Type-R (FD-3S), which is now recognized as the fourth largest manufacturer in Japan, and Mazda is a car brand that focuses on the concept of sport.
Mazda's civilian cars are far inferior to Liangda and Yisan, but they occupy a place in the sports car series. In Takeuchi's view, Mazda is the BMW of Japanese cars, and his entire car-making career continues to his later generations, and the style he has been insisting on is sports and handling!
So as soon as he saw Mazda's logo, Takeuchi Xiu's feeling was that the tone of this car was very clear, that is, a sports car with a chassis tuning bias and very flexible body control.
Keisuke Takahashi's vision is good, I don't know if the car was chosen by himself or his brother Ryosuke's vision.
When choosing a car in the auto market, in addition to the GTR, Takeuchi Shu also paid special attention to Mazda's cars.
At this stage, among the sports cars launched by Mazda, the most eye-catching is the RX7.
The performance of the RX7 is very good, and the Type-R is the most powerful one in the RX7FD3S series. The drive mode is also FR, and the maximum output of the original car can reach 280 horsepower.
Compared with Iketani's S13, it has an absolute advantage, that is, horsepower output!
To give a very simple example, if you don't turn, just a straight line battle, Iketani's S13 may not be able to catch up with the master.
So in terms of parameters and performance, the car is already a big weaker. Iketani should be well aware of this, so when they met at the café, he also mentioned the comparison of the two cars.
But the car doesn't have to be the difference between victory and defeat. This...... You can get a glimpse of it through the performance of AE86 in the comics.
Takeuchi Shu's gaze shifted from the RX7 to his master.
It is said that each other is born from the heart. In fact, to a certain extent, the car also fits the owner's aesthetics.
The RX7 is yellow, while Keisuke Takahashi also has a conspicuous yellow hair, which is more dazzling in the crowd.
He was tall, and all Takeuchi saw was his back.
Keisuke Takahashi, who is communicating with another young man at the moment, looks like it should be Ryosuke Takahashi. But it's just speculation!
Takeuchi Shu was curious about the appearance of the Takahashi brothers, but he would not be reckless and walk over and take the initiative to greet strangers.
Seeing that RedSuns was really professional, the members of the entourage were actually taking the trouble to test the tire pressure of Keisuke Takahashi's RX7 and whether the oil was missing.
Compared to their profession, Iketani seems a little shabby, even pitiful. The members of his team are very amateurs, and none of them will do these measurements.
"Uncle, don't be stunned. Let me take you to meet the seniors of this competition. Ah Shu came over at this time and said to Takeuchi Xiu.
When Wu Neixiu heard Ah Shu's words, he was stunned at first, and then reacted. I couldn't help but smile bitterly in my heart, they had met at noon today. It seems that Ah Shu has never known that the two of them are old acquaintances.
Ah Shu led him to Iketani.
Iketani had a sad face, and the pressure of the game was already welling up in his heart. RedSuns's preparations, he also saw in his eyes, and there were more blows invisibly. But remembering what Takeuchi said during the day, he still behaved very calmly, no matter what...... Psychologically, you can't afford to lose to your opponent.
"Poolani-senpai." While he was thinking nonsense, Ah Shu's voice woke him up.
Iketani came back to his senses and saw Ah Shu, who was working together at a gas station, and his eyes moved to the tall man beside him.
And also......
Ikeya's eyes lit up, this great god is finally here!
"Let me introduce you, this is my uncle Takeuchi Shu!" Ah Shu smiled and walked to Ikeya with Takeuchi Xiu.
And Iketani's reaction was obviously not expected by Ah Shu.
"Ah Xiu, you're finally here!" Iketani stepped forward and put his arm around Takeuchi's shoulder.
Takeuchi smiled bitterly: "Don't be so affectionate, you guy." ”
Ah Shu was on the side, only stunned, and couldn't help asking, "You two know each other?" ”
"Of course." Iketani nodded as a matter of course and said with a smile: "Ah Xiu is my good friend. So, I'm your uncle too, stinky boy! ”
Ah Shu's expression was complicated, no matter what he thought, he couldn't imagine that his uncle, who had just returned to China, would make friends so quickly. And this friend is still his predecessor at the gas station, and now he is facing the driver.
Takeuchi Xiu nodded slightly: "Ikutani and I have known each other for a long time, Ah Shu." ”
Ah Shu shouted with some dissatisfaction: "Damn, I'm actually the last one to know." What a waste of feelings. ”
Just as the three of them were chatting hotly, a young man walked over.
Takeuchi remembers that he was a member of the RedSuns team.
Iketani's face changed and he put away his smile.
"It's time for the game, can you get ready to start?" He said straight to the point.
Iketani was silent and nodded slightly.
Ah Shu excitedly looked at the RX7 that was already preparing to take place at the starting line, and then encouraged Iketani: "Come on! Seniors, my uncle and I, will cheer you on the whole process. It's sure to win! ”
"Thank you." After Iketani finished speaking, his gaze stayed on Takeuchi Shu's face.
Takeuchi Shu looked into his eyes.
"Remember my words, victory is earned by yourself, don't think about defeat." He doesn't have any good words, he understands Iketani's mood right now, but a driver is a profession that rises to the challenge.
If you lose the challenge, if you lose the excitement, everything is flat and straightforward, and what fun is there.
Ikeya took a deep breath.
"Ah Xiu, what else do you want to teach me?"
He couldn't help but lower his voice and said in Takeuchi's ear
Takeuchi Shu looked at Iketani, gently took out a piece of chewing gum from his pocket, and handed it to him.
Akaya was stunned and took the gum that hadn't been torn off the candy wrapper.
"Speedstars tonight, it's you! that yellow hair! ”
Takeuchi tapped him on the shoulder and gave him an affirmative smile.
