Chapter 160: Losing?
The fresh air makes people want to watch the game even more.
The person in charge of the countdown this time is Nobuhiko Akiyama. As he said before, he is the logistics staff of this competition. He is indeed a real logistics staff and not just a slacker.
"The countdown begins! 3! 2! 1!"
"set off!"
Akiyama Nobuhiko shouted loudly.
"Boom boom boom!"
"Boom boom boom!"
86 and EA11R appeared almost at the same time.
Although the rain made the road slippery, it was not a problem for Fujiwara Takumi. Although he had participated in many competitions, this was the first time he had competed in the rain. As a racing driver, this was also a must.
Racing in bad weather conditions is something everyone has to go through. Fujiwara Takumi wasn't particularly angry about the Saitama Northwest team's strategy.
Defeating them is the best counterattack.
Only the incompetent get angry.
The tires of the two cars splashed the water on the road wildly, and the road was filled with mist.
EA11R accelerated at full speed from the start and took the lead over 86.
The EA11R is extremely fast.
The front-engine, rear-wheel drive does have an advantage in starting, not to mention that it is equipped with a twin-turbocharger, making it difficult to slow down.
Really fast.
Due to the poor road conditions on Dingfeng Mountain, many places are not simply downhill, but are flat and bumpy with a lot of water.
"Splash!" With a sound, the EA11R splashed water as soon as it passed the first corner. The speed was unexpectedly fast.
Fujiwara Takumi stepped on the accelerator and followed closely behind the EA11R. The performance of this car exceeded his expectations. Sakamoto was like a duck in water when driving the EA11R, especially equipped with anti-skid tires, which was almost unaffected by the rain and made him even more comfortable. The lightweight body of the EA11R was even more powerful in rainy days, and its lightness was magnified to the extreme.
"This guy, isn't the EA11R too light? So cunning, they actually sent such a car." Xian Tai got out of the car and saw that the EA11R was ahead of the 86 from the beginning, and couldn't help complaining.
In this competition, the Saitama Northwest team clearly had the advantage, and 86 was at a disadvantage in every way.
"Hyunta, don't be impatient."
"Takumi knows what's going on. When 86 first came to prominence, who took it seriously? What was the result? Myogi NightKids, Sato Mako of Usuiyama ImpactBlue, and even our Akagi RedSuns were defeated by 86."
“86, always creates miracles.”
Takahashi Ryosuke leaned against the yellow FD, looking very calm under the umbrella. Although he had some doubts about the 86, he was full of confidence and expected it to create miracles again.
If it can still win like this, 86 will almost become a god in street racing.
"Ah."
Xian Tai nodded and said nothing more. He had also witnessed the rise of 86 and naturally hoped that it would continue to reach new heights.
"Although the tires were at a disadvantage, it was still able to follow me so closely. It was really unexpected." Sakamoto looked through the rearview mirror and was surprised to find the 86 following closely behind him while drifting.
"call out!"
With splashes of water, the EA11R turned instantly and its movements were flawless.
"Swish, swish, swish! Whoosh!" Takumi's car slipped slightly while drifting and almost hit the guardrail. At the critical moment, he suddenly accelerated out of the corner and stopped further drifting. The audience exclaimed in surprise, thinking that the 86 was going to hit, but unexpectedly, a sudden acceleration saved the day.
"Boom boom boom!"
After passing the first sharp turn, the EA11R began to accelerate, and it was this force that prevented the 86 from overtaking easily.
"interesting."
Takumi smiled faintly, admitting that the EA11R was indeed fast. But he was not in a hurry to speed up and overtake, but was looking for an opportunity. The road was slippery on rainy days, and the risk of overtaking was high. Once the EA11R blocked the position, it was likely to cause a collision, and the repair cost was not a small amount. Takumi did not want to waste system points.
System points are not expensive, but they must be used sparingly. Takumi has a lot of points now, but it is still far from the ideal value. Just play it safe and win the game, no need to take risks.
During the match, Takahashi Ryosuke walked towards Akiyama Nobuhiko.
"Nobuhiko, where did you get this EA11R? It's a secret weapon. I didn't expect you to have this trick." Takahashi Ryosuke said. The two were both racing analysts with good skills. They had fought each other many times. Although they were not close friends, they were quite familiar with each other.
"Oh?" Nobuhiko responded, "Ryosuke, from your tone, it seems like you know a lot about EA11R."
"I guess so." Takahashi Ryosuke admitted, "Although the EA11R is not often seen on mountain roads, I have always paid attention to it as a lightweight racing car. However, for you as an opponent, this information is not very meaningful. Even if I beat the 86, I would not be too happy. After all, the EA11R has a clear advantage, not to mention it is raining."
Yan Yan looked at the rain that was getting heavier and heavier, his tone was calm.
"Honestly, I still feel a little uncomfortable watching 86 lose in this situation. It feels like they are being clever."
Nobuhiko's tone seemed to have already won the game. Those so-called "uncomfortable" were just polite words. If he really felt sorry, he wouldn't have let Sakamoto and Takumi fight. Takahashi Ryosuke guessed that Nobuhiko was secretly happy.
"Yan Yan, isn't it too early for you to say this? Don't be so sure that 86 will lose, otherwise when the result comes out, you might be the one who feels bad."
"No, I'm sure." Yan Yan shook his head and insisted on his opinion. From the perspective of vehicle performance, the 86 is indeed not superior.
"But the driver is different. The person sitting in the 86 is a man who is good at creating miracles. If it is a competition between drivers, I think Takumi is better. In this case, the chances of winning are -, and your conclusion is untenable."
Facing Nobuhiko's confidence, Takahashi Ryosuke did not get angry, but analyzed calmly. He was always confident that no one could match him in data analysis unless he faced Takumi. Sometimes he himself wondered why the analysis that seemed impeccable to others could always be easily found flawed by Takumi.
It was the heavy pressure brought by Fujiwara Takumi that made Takahashi Ryosuke work harder and his skills improved. In-depth understanding and analysis were not as easy as Takahashi Ryosuke imagined.
"Can Fujiwara Takumi surpass Sakamoto just by being a flesh-and-blood person?"
"Ryosuke, you are wrong."
Sakamoto's driving skills are excellent. He often participates in rallies. No matter how the track environment changes, it remains the same for him. With superb skills, he maintains extremely high stability and rarely makes mistakes.
"His ability is no less than Fujiwara Takumi, and he has more competition experience."
When Akiyama Nobuhiko heard that Takahashi Ryosuke thought Sakamoto was not as good as Fujiwara Takumi, he frowned slightly and felt unhappy. He felt that it was necessary to explain Sakamoto's true level. After all, Sakamoto was invited by Akiyama Wataru and Koichi with great effort.
It is impossible for ordinary people to invite Sakamoto to participate in this kind of street mountain road race.
"You don't understand what I mean by turning the ordinary into the magical."
“That’s a belief.”
Takahashi Ryosuke explained.
"The real scary thing about Fujiwara Takumi is not as simple as words say. Only when you are on the same team can you deeply experience it. There are very few geniuses in the world who can subvert the norm, and Fujiwara Takumi is such a person. He constantly breaks people's cognition and never stops."
