Chapter 480: Chapter 219: One Billion Wager_4

The announcer was boasting about Schult’s Enzo, almost making it the only thing in existence.

After finishing with Enzo, he continued to talk about the GTR.

"Well, Enzo’s opponent, the GTR, even in comics and movies, it has never won, not even able to outrun an AE86. So everyone, just imagine, I won’t introduce it further."

"Haha..." The whole crowd burst into laughter.

At this moment, on the track, the GTR had already been pulled half a lap behind by Enzo, and it seemed like the gap was only going to widen.

Li Tao said with a smile: "Oh my, just three minutes in and the outcome is clear. The GTR is not a match for Enzo, and a ride-hailing driver can’t beat a professional racer."

Wang Qian Ni stood up nervously; surely Yang Chen can’t really lose just like this.

Quickly, it’s the eighth lap, Yang Chen hadn’t changed tires yet and continued racing.

Chen Lijun: "Damn! Brother Chen forgot that he needs to change tires by the eighth lap."

Wang Zijun was anxious and kept waving the flag he was holding to remind Yang Chen.

At this time, everyone in the stands laughed aloud.

"Is that GTR driver an amateur? Doesn’t know to change tires!"

"Is he trying to kill himself?"

"Haha... I’m dying of laughter, doesn’t even know to change tires, yet dares to race against professional racers. This ride-hailing driver truly has no sense of danger!"

...

Theoretically, tires should be changed every eighth lap, but there’s no rule mandating it.

Yang Chen never accelerated earlier, which allowed Enzo to lead almost a lap.

He thought the tires should hold out for another two laps.

In the tenth lap, Yang Chen clearly felt the vehicle body becoming unstable and quickly entered the pit for a tire change.

Yang Chen shouted: "Fill it up with gas!"

Wang Zijun: "Brother Chen, you ran two extra laps, it’s too dangerous. I saw the car body was a bit wobbly. You can’t keep this up! Remember, when you see me waving the flag, come in the next lap to change tires!"

Chen Lijun shouted: "Brother Chen, you need to speed up a bit, you’re already a lap behind. We’re competing for distance within half an hour, you need to speed up as much as possible!"

Yang Chen nodded, hit the accelerator, and rushed out.

However, Yang Chen was still leisurely following along and did not accelerate.

It wasn’t until the 15th lap that Yang Chen suddenly accelerated.

At this moment, Enzo was again going to the side to change tires, which meant Enzo was going to be stationary for about 7 seconds.

Yang Chen seized the opportunity and sped up.

When Enzo re-entered the track, GTR was making a turn, reminiscent of the morning scene where GTR drifted through the turn, after a 360° spin of the car head got straightened, speeding through without the slightest drop in speed.

Moreover, GTR firmly occupied the inner lane, cautiously preventing Enzo from overtaking inside.

On the 17th lap, Wang Zijun quickly waved his flag to remind Yang Chen to change tires.

But in the 18th lap, Yang Chen didn’t change tires, continuing the race instead.

Wang Zijun was just about to speak when Chen Lijun loudly said: "There are 90 seconds left, Brother Chen dares not change tires now! I get it, he deliberately delayed the first tire change to the 10th lap, so he can save one tire change. Ferrari’s always running at full speed, Schult dares not risk running more for fear that the tires won’t grip and fly off the track. Brother Chen is using tactics to bridge the inherent gap between GTR and Enzo."

Wang Zijun: "Then who covers more distance?"

Chen Lijun: "Brother Chen is currently 1 kilometer behind; it’s just a blink. Let’s see who can quickly handle the last bend, whoever’s faster will win!"

Announcer: "Wow, the competition is extremely fierce! Enzo leads by less than 500 meters, the last turn will determine the winner. Whichever takes less time, they will prevail upon getting straightened. Although 500 meters seems a lot, before the competition time is up, GTR still has a chance to overtake. GTR clearly accelerated, its body is somewhat wobbly. Hmm? At this moment, GTR’s speed even seems faster than Enzo? Could it be due to the low tire friction?"

A few seconds later, Enzo started entering the turn, Schult used an outer lane drift to get through, which was safer.

Just then, GTR’s inner lane drift encountered unexpected trouble, due to severe tire friction damage, traction was insufficient, the car spun 360° almost flying off the track.

"Oh..." Everyone let out a gasp, standing up excitedly.

GTR was about to fly off the track but it didn’t because of severe tire damage, the low traction actually helped GTR fall just ahead of Enzo by half a car length.

Announcer: "Oh my! Is GTR really overtaking like this?"
