Car Racing without Money

Chapter 857 - 351: Nuking the Racing World (Part 3)

How did Chen Xiangbei manage it without having anything?"It’s indeed quite perplexing. Most likely, the Ford team provided precise pace notes assistance."

The commentator next to him, Allen, made his speculation.

"Precise pace notes don’t always suit the driver, Allen, you should understand that."

The continuous questioning finally made Red a bit impatient.

He could understand the competition between two different top-tier automotive events, but you also have to objectively acknowledge the talent’s strength.

Chen Xiangbei is that talented driver!

Facing Red’s rebuttal, Allen finally fell silent; how could he not know?

It’s just his preference for WRC that made him reluctant to acknowledge the strength of the F1 driver, especially someone like Chen Xiangbei, who is at an abnormal level.

At this moment, in the Ford team camp, the management and strategy team members were also discussing Chen Xiangbei’s "abnormal" performance.

"Chief, is it really that exaggerated for an F1 driver paired with a rookie co-driver? The speed on the muddy SS4 stage didn’t slow down at all and remains neck and neck with Leb."

The race engineer, Barlow, asked in an amazed tone. This entire cross-border competition process was decided by the management and even reached the height of the Ford Group headquarters.

From Barlow’s perspective, Chen Xiangbei’s crossover seemed more like the team hiring an F1 driver for advertising and playing around.

But who would have thought he could challenge Leb surpassing Raikkonen?

According to the car sensor data on the console, Chen Xiangbei’s speed could literally be described as firing a rocket, surpassing any "rookie" in the hundred-year history of rally racing!

"I don’t know how to explain it."

Ford team leader Jones couldn’t utter a single word for a long time, as it was beyond rational explanation.

"Could it be that Driver Bei has no tire-saving intentions and is going full speed ahead?"

Engineer Anderson thought of one possibility, that the driver had no intention of saving tires, just like in F1 when the race is treated like qualifying, pushing madly every lap.

"That’s possible, North is unfamiliar with the rally pace."

Compared to the thousands of sensors in an F1 car, rally cars have pitifully few sensors, and with the hundreds of kilometers of off-road race track limits, there was not enough equipment and bandwidth to support such extensive data transmission during the 2010s.

Monitoring instruments focused mainly on the power unit, and the tire aspect only had basic information like tire pressure; it couldn’t calculate the wear percentage.

Thinking it over, the only reasonable explanation the Ford team could give was that Chen Xiangbei was pushing at full speed.

"300 on the long straight, full throttle, fly at the end!"

"300, 200, 100, slow down and adjust the aerial posture, prepare to cut right upon landing!"

With Emily’s instructions, the Fox RS soared into the air.

Unlike a typical fly jump, this one required a right curve immediately upon landing, necessitating control of the car head direction and front-wheel steering.

With a dull "thud," the Fox car heavily slammed onto the road, and Chen Xiangbei had already made posture adjustments in mid-air, doing a right turn immediately upon landing.

This jump spot was the most noteworthy section at Monte Carlo, with a camera specifically aimed at the curve. When the footage of Chen Xiangbei’s control reached the event camp, nearly all industry personnel present fell into silence.

Because the air posture adjustment and corner entry transition, to say the least, had already surpassed Leb.

Speed could be explained by PUSH, but control could not be attributed to luck.

The Chinese kid’s cross-border entry into the WRC event this time is likely to cause a nuclear-level impact in the automotive world!
