Car Racing without Money-Chapter 580 - 227: This Time I Will Be Even Faster! (Part 3)

If you cover the name, Odetto might suspect that this driver is Schumacher, or maybe Senna driving.

"Sawano, is this the reason you put Xiangbei on semi-rain tires?" 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

Odetto asked in a shocked tone.

Now the rain on the track is gradually increasing, and many sections have obvious water accumulation.

Some drivers who are not good at rain battles can’t control their cars, not to mention switching to semi-rain tires; even full rain tires still slide badly, with three skidding off in less than two laps, and the rest dare not push the speed.

Chen Xiangbei, however, did the opposite. He took advantage of the track when the water accumulation was not so severe and started to aggressively chase Masa without even completing the warm-up lap after exiting the pit lane.

The reason Odetto can think of is the phrase "skill high, courage bold."

But the problem is, Chen Xiangbei is brave, but where does his high skill in rain battles come from?

"Team leader Odetto, enjoy Xiangbei’s showtime."

Sawano Hiroyuki didn’t say much; he forever remembers the scene when Chen Xiangbei broke the Renault Formula record in a rain battle at the Suzuka Circuit.

Rain battle is this kid’s real trump card!

Through the water mist at the back of the track, Masa saw the black and orange HRT Racing Car again in his rearview mirror.

Compared to the first time being chased, the shock it brings him this time is even greater!

The reason is simple, Masa didn’t pay attention the first time, but now he intentionally increased his speed, not wanting to give Chen Xiangbei any chance to catch up.

Yet he still got caught up!

[A rookie with such rain battle capability?]

The question mark popped up in Masa’s mind; he really couldn’t believe it.

"Xiangbei, accelerate at T4 corner, set T5 Lauda corner as the overtaking point, and expand the corner angle by riding the left-side curbs; that side has higher terrain without water accumulation."

"Take down Masa in the fastest and fiercest way, don’t give him any chance to breathe and react!"

Odetto smoothly issued the team order; this is the statistical data on the overtaking points for Albert Park Circuit under rainy conditions accumulated during his years with the Ferrari Team.

Originally, he didn’t want to directly convey such an order due to the high difficulty requirements for driver control.

But Sawano Hiroyuki’s attitude, combined with Chen Xiangbei’s speed, gave Odetto confidence.

The Chinese Kid has the qualifications to challenge the limits daringly!

Another point is, to deal with an experienced veteran like Masa, one must utilize his shock and relaxation mindset to strike successfully. Otherwise, when he realizes Chen Xiangbei’s rain battle capability and fully deploys the defensive line again, it is easy to replicate the previous failed scene.

Never underestimate the defensive ability of a World Runner-up!

This time, Chen Xiangbei did not reply; he understands clearly what it means when the opportunity is rare, never to come again.

To quickly defeat Masa, one must become an aggressive gambler, seeking greater rewards.

Only in this way, he quickly catches up with the car in front, impacting the possibility of the podium!

Without the slightest hesitation, from 3rd gear at 138 km/h at T3 corner, Chen Xiangbei gradually accelerated to 4th gear at 201 km/h at T4 corner and still in the process of continuous acceleration.

Sensing Chen Xiangbei’s intention to overtake, Masa decisively moved to the defensive line; he would let the Chinese rookie taste defeat once again!

However, the same method won’t trip Chen Xiangbei twice.

He directly accelerates, changes lanes, and rushes to the left curb, utilizing the expanded track width to cut corners at high speed, getting ahead of Masa before passing the APEX point.

Returning his fire in kind, this time Chen Xiangbei is faster!

Everything changed in a flash, and looking at the suddenly appearing HRT Racing Car in front of him, Masa’s eyes are filled with disbelief.

The Chinese rookie dares to accelerate extremely in the corner, ride the curb, and overtake like this; where exactly does he get his confidence and courage to bet that his car won’t skid out of control?

Most unacceptable for Masa is, Chen Xiangbei placed his bet successfully.

Was the Goddess of Victory ultimately unable to favor him?
