Chapter 266: Oh My God, He Actually Took the Corner at Full Speed?
There are eight cars in this race. Besides Chuan Feng, Chu Gongyang, Hou, and Ren Feng, the remaining four are also experts.
These four have been frequenting the mountain roads of Ghost Mountain and know them like the back of their hand. Their driving skills are quite remarkable.
To put it simply, anyone daring to race on Ghost Mountain isn't lacking in driving skills!
Moreover, these fanatics have all modified their cars. Though they might look like regular BMWs on the outside, the engines and configurations are on par with race cars.
Before going up the mountain, there's a straight road leading to the first observation point, which is also the first corner.
Ah Qiang stood nearby, holding a walkie-talkie, able to see the neat lights on the mountain road.
Leading the pack was a blue sports car, driven by Chuan Feng, taking the lead.
He gazed at the familiar corner, squinted his eyes, and just before entering the turn, he yanked the lever. The front of the blue sports car suddenly dipped towards the inside of the mountain, and the entire body slid gracefully.
A slight smile appeared at the corner of Chuan Feng's mouth. The thrill was unparalleled!
The blue sports car drifted swiftly along the road, flashing past Ah Qiang in an instant.
So fast!
Ah Qiang's eyes were filled with admiration and envy. The skills of the king's apprentice were truly extraordinary; such cornering skills couldn't be learned.
Following closely behind the blue sports car were other vehicles navigating the bend one after another.
Chu Gongyang was in second place, his expression somewhat grim. As he approached the curve, he turned the steering wheel, the tires swerving inward, creating a screeching sound as the car smoothly passed the corner.
However, compared to Chuan Feng, Chu Gongyang's car wasn't as close to the mountain; rather, it was a bit farther away. This showed a gap in skill, with Chu Gongyang unable to match Chuan Feng.
One car after another followed, the roaring engines echoed through the quiet Ghost Mountain.
In Ah Qiang's view, each car took the turns using various techniques. It was only a matter of seconds before they officially entered the mountain roads.
Once on the mountain roads, the distance between cars would gradually widen, but for now, they were keeping a tight formation.
"Mr. Mo, the first batch of cars has reached the first observation point. Chuan Feng is first, Mr. Chu is second, Dongxing is third."
Ah Qiang picked up the walkie-talkie, reporting the information.
"Received."
The static-filled walkie-talkie remained on as Ah Qiang squinted and pulled a cigarette from his pocket.
Lighting the cigarette on this slightly chilly night helped Ah Qiang stay alert.
If only he could be as fast as Chuan Feng. In Jiangnan City, Chuan Feng's car was the fastest!
To date, he hadn't seen a car faster than his. His time navigating the entire Ghost Mountain route was 31 minutes and 1 second, matching his master's record.
Is there anyone faster than Chuan Feng?
Probably not.
Ah Qiang took a drag, but just at that moment, a sound like a roaring beast erupted.
He looked up, seeing another car coming down the road, seemingly heading up the mountain.
What's going on?
Ah Qiang furrowed his brow, watching the car roar towards him, squinting, before his face turned slightly stiff.
How is this car so fast?
Ah Qiang's pupils narrowed sharply, and under the dim amber lights, a black Hummer blending into the darkness appeared.
A Hummer?
Ah Qiang was a bit stumped. Is this person racing with a Hummer?
But suddenly, he realized that the Hummer, in just a short moment, was roaring towards him!
Fast!
Too fast!
Ah Qiang couldn't help but feel his heart tighten. Is this guy flooring it the whole time?
You're coming up to a bend and not slowing down?
Yet the Hummer showed no sign of slowing, continuing to roar ahead as before. This left Ah Qiang quite scared; full-speed cornering?
Is this person mad? Aren't they afraid for their life?
Ah Qiang's eyes widened. Then, the Hummer reached the corner.
The tire direction changed, veering towards the inside, the front pressing into the curve, and the tail followed in a drift, the entire body forming a slight drift angle!
Ren Feng's face remained calm, the car's overall performance was under his control. His foot never left the gas pedal, and his hand maneuvered continuously. Within one second, he drifted through the first corner, continuing forward without slowing!
Perfect drift!
At the observation point, Ah Qiang was dumbfounded.
W-what did I just witness?
Ah Qiang's mouth gaped wide open. My god, full-speed cornering!
This guy is insane!
Keep in mind, at full speed, vehicle control is extremely difficult. Full-speed cornering is even more challenging, achievable only by top-tier racers in world competitions. Even Chuan Feng doesn't dare maintain such high speeds when cornering; otherwise, the risk of a fatal crash is very high.
Ah Qiang was stunned. That moment just now was over in an instant, yet it seemed etched into his mind, replaying over and over.
Full-speed cornering, full-speed cornering!
Ah Qiang took a deep breath, his hands a bit trembling, then picked up the walkie-talkie.
"M-Mr. Mo, the last car has passed."
"Oh? How was its cornering?"
"It was t-too fast," Ah Qiang swallowed, "I suspect he took the corner at full speed."
Meanwhile, people at the starting point at the bottom of the mountain were waiting for the walkie-talkie's news.
"Mr. Mo, the first batch of cars passed the second observation point. Chuan Feng and Mr. Chu are in the lead."
Upon hearing the news, those around couldn't help but cheer.
"Chuan Feng is incredible! I bet on the right horse."
"It's still uncertain; the entire mountain road race has just begun."
"Yao, who do you think will win, Chuan Feng or Mr. Chu?" someone asked the middle-aged man from earlier.
Yao took a puff of his cigarette, smiling: "Hard to say, 60-40, I think. Chuan Feng has a 60% chance of winning, while Chu Gongyang has 40%."
"However, Chu Gongyang is quite talented. If he plays seriously, it shouldn't be long before he surpasses Chuan Feng."
Everyone was engaged in animated discussion, yet no one mentioned Ren Feng.
Just then, Mr. Mo's walkie-talkie went off again.
"M-Mr. Mo, the last car has passed."
The voice on the line was Ah Qiang's, sounding a bit nervous.
Mr. Mo was indifferent, continuing to ask: "Oh? How was its cornering?"
"It was t-too fast, I suspect he took the corner at full speed."
This statement left Mr. Mo stunned, and the others were also shocked.
"Ah Qiang, are you sure you didn't see it wrong, full-speed cornering?"
"Mr. Mo, I didn't see it wrong. He took the corner too fast, the speed didn't drop at all, it was only a second, no, even less than a second, faster than Chuan Feng!"
Ah Qiang said excitedly.
And the others were all astonished.
This guy is truly crazy, daring to go full-speed around a corner on Ghost Mountain?
Yao's previously relaxed expression turned serious.
"If it really was full-speed cornering, then there's only one possibility left, a master! An absolute master, even stronger than Chuan Feng!"
