Chapter 53: Fools or Legend? (1)
Shi Tu handed something over to Jean Fly with a satisfied smile
Jan Fly looked at what Shi Tu had given him, it was the helmet-mounted communication device that allows contact with the instructor and technical staff during the race.
Of course, Shi Tu deliberately let the rest see him hand over the communication device to Jan Fly, he even handed the helmet over to Charles to make sure it really didn't contain any communication devices.
Racing without communication devices is equivalent to giving up half of the safety precautions which is extremely dangerous
Driving without communication devices in high-speed races is extremely dangerous because it will not be able to obtain directions and most importantly, the technical staff will not be able to inform them of the overall condition of the car or any malfunction in the event that it occurs and will not know the general situation of the race or his position.
For example, if an accident occurs in the front, if the racer does not slow down, there is no way to avoid another accident
Unlike the technical staff, who has comprehensive information about the car's condition thanks to its monitoring devices, the information that the racer gets is very limited , because installing many display panels will increase the weight of the car, which is bad in racing.
Shi Tu put on the helmet, got into the car, got up, and put it on, and so did the rest racers
The rest sat in the observation room in order to watch the race well
Charles looked at the car driven by Shi Tu and seem to be very familiar. As the leader of the technical staff, he knows every car in the club and has dealt with it before, but if he cannot remember a particular car, it means that it is old.
Charles shook his head and dismissed this idea because he knew Shi Tu is not stupid or ostentatious so why would he bring an old car?
' Looks like it's been a while since I scolded them, and now they dare to submit incomplete reports. '
Charles thought that this was a new car or that some modifications had been made to a model, but this was not mentioned in the report that Charles received
The countdown screen installed on the track has started counting
1 , 2 , 3 Go!!
All racers pressed the gas pedals and the cars set off at their full speed
The first part of the track was a straight track extending for 1,200 meters, which is the longest straight track on the track, so the maximum speed and acceleration of the car were the most important factors that allowed to excel in this stage
In these, the Shi Tu was far behind
Ten seconds passed, the difference of more than 200 meters between Shi Tu and the rest, while there was hardly a difference of a few meters between the other three.
"It seems that he did not succeed in choosing his car. This track does not contain many turns and most of it is straight. So speed and acceleration are the most important, but he chose a car whose advantage is stability and balance at the expense of speed " Javier gave his objective judgment
Jan Fly seemed to realize something but didn't say it because it would sound like making excuses for Shi Tu
Charles sighed because his guess was correct, turned to Jean Flee and said
" Jean, if I'm not mistaken, Shi Tu just asked you to show him the track map a few moments before the race started, right? "
Jean Fly felt so comfortable, apparently he didn't need to make excuses because Charles understood
" indeed, I did not tired myself telling him the nature of the track because it is famous and has been previously used in international races so I thought he knew beforehand , but it seems to me that he did not know " some helplessness and remorse appeared in the Jean Fly face, if not overestimate the club fame and told Shi Tu, he will not make a wrong choice
" Looking at the age of Brother Shi, he was just a child at that time, so it is not surprising that he did not know about the track, and in the event that the nature of the track is not known, it is better to choose a car that is based on stability and balance because most of the tracks have a small area so it contains a lot of turns, Looking at the matter from this angle, his choice is logical, but unfortunately it has put him in trouble. "
Charles seemed a bit strange and suspected that there was some conspiracy, even if Javier's analysis was correct, there are better stability and balance cars than what Shi Tu chose, so why did he choose this old car? Wasn't Stan with him? He's supposed to help him pick the car, so he's supposed to tell him about the track
Among the many cars Shi Tu chose this old car
Either it's the only car in the barn or it's ...
Charles' eyes showed some sharpness, there is nothing wrong with competing between racers at the club, but Charles never likes to use dirty tricks, and given Stan's personality, this probability is not low.
Charles has not expressed his thoughts because there are six strangers here and it is not a good idea to say these things in front of them
" Javier, do not try to make excuses for him, if he is really skillful like Frederick Mazer, there are some movements to compensate for this weakness although it is very difficult, who knows? The more difficult the victory the more obvious his skill after all. "
Such a good opportunity to discredit Shi Tu, how could Cecilia miss it?
What kind of person is in this room? How do they not understand what Cecilia means?
If this was intended by Shi Tu in order to increase the difficulty and convince them of his abilities, then he is either an arrogant fool or a legendary racer.
If he wins, he is a legendary racer on the same level as Frederick Mazer, and no one will doubt his abilities, even with making many concessions and making things difficult for himself, he managed to win
But if he loses, he is an arrogant fool who overestimates himself and does not know the vast of heaven and earth
Javier smiled and said
" You expect a lot from him. "
Deep down, Javier wished Shi Tu would win and be a legendary racer
After what Cecilia said, even if Shi Tu did not intend to do this and it was some kind of bad luck, no one knows what is in Shi Tu's heart and doubt will still exist and this will destroy Shi Tu's image for everyone.
It could be said that this single phrase gave Shi Tu one choice and that is to win!! Even if he gets second place by a small margin of first, he will be treated like an arrogant fool
" Who asked to show off so much? "
