Chapter 420 - To Put What You Have just Learnt into Practice (2/2)

As soon as they arrived at the Devil’s Corner, a glaring light came up from behind them once again!

“Damn it, I knew he was going to be able to catch up!”

A tone of agitation could be detected in Lei Shijian’s hoarse voice, for the Trumpchi was like a nightmare that refused to leave him. And, no matter what he did, he just couldn’t seem to get rid of it.

“Boss, what should we do?” the medium-built man in the passenger seat asked. With a five-million-dollar wager hanging over their heads, Lei Shijian’s co-driver was frantic as it was a large sum of money to compensate.

“What do you mean by that? There’s still a long way left to go, and as long as I don’t make any mistakes, it’s going to be really hard for him to overtake me. Even if we take ten thousand steps back, and, on the off-chance, he does overtake me, I can easily reclaim the lead on the straight course right up ahead. There’s no need to panic at all!”

Lei Shijian said with great confidence, and he was convinced that he had everything under control. He wasn’t very concerned about the Trumpchi, but he knew he had to pay close attention to Shen Qingyan. Now that he was in the lead, he only needed to ensure that Shen Qingyan could not overtake him, and he was going to make it impossible for her to do so. Considering the disparity in the skill levels between Shen Qingyan and him wasn’t significant, the NOx injection system that he had installed before this competition would have a crucial part to play. It was put in there precisely for him to use against Shen Qingyan at the Devil’s Corner. Without installing an injector of her own, there was virtually nothing Shen Qingyan could do to overtake him.

“Alright, we’ve once again arrived at the thrilling Devil’s Corner. We can see that Wolf King and Queen will be entering the corner soon. And, right now, the Trumpchi is roughly sixty to seventy meters behind them, so it is almost impossible for it to be able to do anything at the Devil’s Corner this time. But, let’s pay close attention to Queen’s car—she seems to be trying a maneuver… is it possible that she might come up with something incredible here?

Here it is, without engaging his nitrogen injector, Wolf King has chosen the outer lane to negotiate Devil’s Corner. We can see that he’s drifting into this bend now… yes, very swift and good control there. Wolf King is definitely not bragging about his skills. He’s worthy of being hailed the King of the Wild Wolf Mountain. Oh, no… no, no, no, oh, my God, what do I see here? Queen has actually taken the inner lane, and she’s initiated her drift. What is she… she can’t possibly be having thoughts about trying to overtake Wolf King from the inside, can she?”

The commentator’s words immediately stirred the crowd up, and everyone was on the edge of their seats. The fans following the race were not amateurs and were very knowledgeable about the course. They knew how terrifying the Devil’s Corner was, and many were convinced that drifting at this speed, and without the NOx injection system to compensate for the centripetal force, Shen Qingyan was going to lose control of the car. Of course, the Trumpchi was an exception since a ‘God’ was driving that car.

Did Queen have god-like skills as well? Well, they’d soon find out…

Everyone had their eyes glued to the huge screen, watching in trepidation as the Maserati negotiate Devil’s Corner. They were really curious to know if Queen could do what the Trumpchi did and manage an inside drift at this notorious bend. If she succeeded, she would beat the Wolf King at the turn and come out on top.

“She’s entering the corner now. Queen chose to take the corner using the inner lane, and she has initiated the drift now… that’s the power of a supercar, just look at that—there’s a lot of torque spinning those wheels. She’s powering in on a shift lock, and she’s caught up to Wolf King now… but she’s oversteered, one side of her car is already off the ground! Oh, no… don’t tell me a tragedy is about to occur, is Queen done for here? Don’t tell me we are about to witness something terrible to this pretty lady?”

The commentator was yelling into the microphone with his voice gone hoarse, and everyone was feeling the rising tension.

“Is this woman crazy as well?”

Lei Shijian muttered, glancing at the Maserati in horror. There was only one driver who had successfully made the inner lane drift at the Devil’s Corner without using a nitrogen injection system, and that guy was now behind the wheels of the Trumpchi, catching up on them from astern. Out of all the myriad possibilities, he never imagined that Shen Qingyan would be tried to overtake him from the inside. Was she losing her ability to think clearly because she refused to lose?

At that precise moment, Shen Qingyan shouted, “Stabilize now!”

She released the handbrakes and counter-steered the wheel vigorously. The Maserati was about to flip when it suddenly regained stability, and Shen Qingyan managed to keep the car on the track.
