CHAPTER 210: CHAPTER 114: THE BLOOD AND GRIT OF CHINESE RACERS (DOUBLE CHAPTER)

On the contrary, even though Chen Xiangbei was fierce, he still kept a basic sense of reason, always thinking about how to win.

That’s why, after becoming a professional racer, Chen Xiangbei was no longer as flamboyant as he was during his street racing days.

He maintained more of a low-key, restrained, killer instinct!

Now, Mansell’s instinctive evasion finally ushered in Chen Xiangbei’s "killing" moment.

At this moment, Chen Xiangbei decelerated and squeezed out the last bit of power from the Renault engine.

Using the space created by Mansell’s steering deviation and the speed difference of several kilometers between them, he completed a strong line cutting maneuver at a critical moment.

The rear wheel of car number 13 almost grazed the nose of car number 9, as the two cars intersected in the bend.

[Did he overtake?]

Mansell stared at the rear wing of the car in front, his mind going blank in an instant.

He never expected that Chen Xiangbei would use an evasive maneuver to "scare" him, taking advantage of that tiny space to complete an extreme line-cutting maneuver.

Do Chinese drivers judge cornering lines with such precision?

At this point, there was no time for Mansell to think of an answer.

The reason was simple, his cornering speed was too fast, the inner steering head-turn was useless, the only thing he could do was brake hard.

As soon as he hit the brakes hard, all four tires of car number 9 locked up, sending a cloud of smoke into the air from the friction on the track.

But even then, Mansell’s car still skated uncontrollably towards the safety buffer area.

Compared to the smoke from the previous tire-to-ground friction, the gravel and dust kicked up now were flying everywhere. The narrow track buffer zone couldn’t stop the car’s speed over two hundred kilometers per hour, and Mansell crashed directly into the edge tire barrier, the fiberglass body instantly shredding into pieces.

Chen Xiangbei on the other hand was equally in a dangerous situation. Although he completed the overtaking maneuver with downshifting acceleration and performed a line-cutting maneuver in the extreme space.

But his speed had already reached the Renault car’s limit of 260 km/h!

At such a staggering speed, unless encountering the Suzuka Circuit’s 130R full-throttle bend, ordinary corners cannot keep a car grounded.

Unsurprisingly, exceeding the physical limits of grip, any technique would be futile.

One side of Chen Xiangbei’s tires completely crossed over the curb, directly pressing into the track’s buffer zone. However, compared to Mansell’s side of gravel ground, this was merely an ordinary grass buffer zone.

Even though it kicked up turf and dirt into the air, it at least provided some grip for the tires, preventing the car from sliding and getting stuck in the buffer zone like a spinning top.

Using what could be called a "cutting a watermelon" technique, Chen Xiangbei forcibly brought the car back onto the track, leaving only a deep track in the grass.

"OH MY GOD, Mansell lost control and crashed into the tire wall. Based on the broadcast footage, the car seems severely damaged, we don’t know the driver’s current situation yet."

"The Renault race officials have deployed the red flag, all cars will return to the pit lane to await further instructions. Let’s pray that Mansell is alright."

"Additionally, Chinese driver Xiangbei did not back down during the track confrontation. He used Mansell’s error to bring an extremely shocking overtaking maneuver to the scene. Monitoring data shows Xiangbei’s cornering speed reached 260 km/h, which is the limit of Renault car’s performance!"

"I must admit, the wisdom and driving skills demonstrated by Xiangbei are astonishing. Even after over ten years of commenting on Formula racing, I have never seen such a strong overtaking maneuver in corners!"

Track commentator James was completely stunned, he simply could not imagine that this was the level a rookie Formula racer could reach.

Leaving aside how difficult the overtaking and cornering maneuvers were, had Chen Xiangbei made even a slight mistake, the two cars could have collided directly in the corner.

This kind of control over speed and distance is simply unparalleled!

"Xiangbei didn’t lose control, did the Chinese driver actually succeed with this extreme speed cutting through the corner?"

"Full-throttle overtaking maneuver in the corner, is Xiangbei really that strong?"

"Did you see that? This is the strength of the Chinese driver that you underestimated!"

"Tremble, young geniuses of Europe, Chen Xiangbei is the real genius driver!"

"Chen Xiangbei’s amazing!"

The spectators in the stands went wild, on the track, strength always earns a driver respect.

Even though many of them were criticizing Mansell’s spraying not long ago, thinking the Chinese Kid was courting death by daring to provoke. As Chen Xiangbei’s extreme cornering maneuver emerged, they couldn’t help but offer praise and amazement.

Of course, the most excited were the Chinese audience.

Initially, they came with a sense of nostalgia to support the Chinese driver.

Now it seems, there’s no need for nostalgia anymore, they can justly and rightfully shout that Chen Xiangbei is awesome.

Not only does he not fear any European drivers, but he also has the formidable strength to defeat opponents!
