Car Racing without Money

Chapter 104: Renault European Cup Main Race (Double Chapters, Part 5)



The team knows Magnussen's temperament very well, currently he's trapped in the middle and can't move, at this speed entering the corner will definitely result in a crash.

For the Carlin Team, they believe in Magnussen's strength, even if he's temporarily behind, he can easily catch up. There's no need for both him and Costa to retire at the first corner.

Before he could even respond with "Copy," Magnussen had already hit the brakes.

He's reckless but not stupid, with his talent and skill, how could he crash into Costa and let Chen Xiangbei benefit from it?

Not only did Magnussen shy away, but Costa, wary of the other's "notorious reputation," also hit the brakes and made some space on the inside of the buffer zone, resulting in a bizarre scene of both cars slowing down.

The outside Chen Xiangbei was not affected at all, he directly took the high-speed T1 corner, and used the characteristic of Silverstone Circuit's T1 and T2 being high-speed corners to accelerate and leave both opponents far behind!

[Double Ghost at the Door?]

Chen Xiangbei glanced at the cars behind him through the rearview mirror, a hint of disdain at the corner of his mouth.

Stereotypes are certainly not a good thing, but if you can use them well, they can become an advantage.

He memorized the driver profiles Odetto gave him, firmly remembering all the opponents' personality styles and line techniques on the track in his mind.

Chen Xiangbei knew that Costa behind him definitely wanted to test this "soft target" of a Chinese driver, to pull off a "torpedo" move to grab the racing line into the corner, betting that he would definitely back down and brake.

On the other side, Magnussen was definitely not someone easy to deal with, Chen Xiangbei knew it was impossible to expect him to leave space for overtaking.

Closing the door on two cars in F1, for many drivers, besides heavy braking and yielding, is considered an unsolvable deadlock. Breaking this deadlock is even harder for Chen Xiangbei.

However, unfortunately for them, compared to his opponents' stereotypes, Chen Xiangbei was the one truly knowing himself and his enemy.

I predicted all your little tricks, how are you going to play dirty now?

"OH, the Chinese driver Bei has successfully sparked a battle between Magnussen and Costa, leaving these two main opponents behind!"

"I have reason to suspect that Bei's provocations at the start were intentional, just to smoothly swap positions with Magnussen and escape the fate of being sandwiched in the middle of the track."

James had always viewed Chen Xiangbei with a neutral to negative perspective.

But when this scene unfolded, he realized that the so-called showiness and arrogance were just a facade the Chinese rookie was presenting to the outside world. Bei's track intelligence was astonishingly high, playing the two opponents in the palm of his hand!

"What's that, this Chinese guy tricked Magnussen?"

"This position swap was quite something, otherwise Bei wouldn't have made it through the corner."

"If Bei was caught in the middle, Costa and Magnussen wouldn't have braked, right?"

"Two high-speed corners lost by almost a second to a Chinese rookie, what was Magnussen up to!"

"Hurry and catch up, just take out the Chinese guy first!"

Some track spectators were confused and didn't understand, some vaguely realized Chen Xiangbei's scheming.

Others didn't care about any tactics, they were just angry at the European drivers falling behind.

Especially with both Magnussen and Costa braking, Chen Xiangbei gained nearly a second lead, and if this tussle continued, the race could be declared over early!

"Sawano, do you understand now why Bei did this?"

In the pit room, Odetto had a slight approving smile on his face.

Compared to Sawano Hiroyuki and this group of Japanese drivers, he naturally knew this group of European young geniuses on the track better.

Chen Xiangbei grasped the opponent's psychology, formulating the most advantageous strategy for himself in a short time.

Odetto had always known that Chen Xiangbei was very calm, but he hadn't expected this Chinese kid to be calm to such an extent!

"Sugoi."

Without saying much, Sawano Hiroyuki could only utter an exclamation.

Whether Chen Xiangbei's driving skills can dominate remains unanswered.

But his intelligence has certainly dominated over the track opponents!
