Autumn famous mountain bike god is reborn

"Eh?" Sha Xue's eyes widened in surprise: "Do you want to choose to chase after the first round?"

She obviously couldn't understand Fujiwara Takumi's choice.

No matter who it is, on an unfamiliar track that has only been run once and is very difficult, it is a good thing to practice even one more time.

"Are you sure?" Seeing Fujiwara Takumi's stupefied look, Sha Xue kindly reminded: "The mountain roads in Ubing are different from Akina's, most of them are very narrow, and the drivers who run ahead have an absolute advantage ! It’s not a place where courage can be easily overcome!”

Even when the speed of the vehicle in front is relatively slow, it is difficult for the chasing car to have a chance to overtake, because the road is too narrow.

It can be said that the car chosen as the starter in the first round is basically invincible.

On the other hand, it's different - 86 is not familiar with Ubing Mountain Road, but it is the main field where she and Makoto have been running for more than two years.

With the full gallop of the high-spirited Makoto, maybe 86 will be thrown away in the first round.

If they lose in just one round, 86 will lose too badly.

Although Sha Xue didn't subconsciously think that 86 would be such a fragile opponent... But she couldn't imagine that, with the lead, Makoto would lose at home without any disadvantage.

"Yes." Fujiwara Takumi nodded without hesitation: "I'm sorry to trouble you."

"OK then."

Seeing that he was so stubborn, Sha Xue couldn't help curling her lips slightly.

When she glanced at Ryosuke Takahashi, who was sitting elegantly on the co-pilot of 86, and her elegant temperament was incompatible with this cute panda car, she couldn't help asking: "Well, when the official competition comes, do you really plan to let the Is Ryosuke Takahashi sitting on the assistant's seat?"

Fujiwara Takumi still didn't wake up: "Yeah."

"Ok."

Despite countless questions lingering in his mind, Sha Xue decided to put all his attention on the upcoming game.

She stopped looking at Akagi White Comet, who had a strong sense of presence on the 86 copilot, and compared to the pass: "Then Mako and I will lead in front. When you follow us and turn out of the first corner, the race will officially begin." Signal."

Fujiwara Takumi said "hmm" again: "Understood."

This guy looks obedient and dumb. Is he really the driver who used the perfect drift that surprised everyone at the sharp corner of Akina that day?

Sha Xue reluctantly suppressed this doubt, and returned to the passenger seat pretending to be calm.

With a "click", she re-fastened her seat belt and announced directly: "It's time to start, Mako! Show your fastest speed and surprise everyone!"

"I will, Shaxue."

As soon as Mako put her hand on the steering wheel, her usually shy character disappeared instantly.

Her SIL-80 is still the original engine with a horsepower output of 230 horsepower, and the CPU, muffler and additional fuel injectors have been slightly modified.

In addition to these, what can be called special is the driving system specially adjusted for the Dubingshan Road.

The 230 horsepower is unremarkable on the uphill, but it is an out-and-out weapon on the downhill.

Compared with the 160 with only a pitiful 86 horsepower, the SIL80 at the initial stage undoubtedly has an absolute advantage.

"Wow, to be able to hear that loud right after the first turn, that's a lot of firepower."

Kenji felt sincerely, and tugged at Ikegani who hadn't said a word since seeing Mako: "Ikegani, are you okay?"

Chi Gu, who was in a state of desperation, was pulled by his sleeve by him, but he didn't respond.

The blow he suffered was really too great.

The lovely angel I met in the parking lot of Oginoya, who was willing to give him his contact information, will be the king who rules Ubing Mountain Road!

When the junior Takumi was able to talk to them calmly, he couldn't restrain his inferiority complex from the bottom of his heart, and only dared to watch from a distance shrouded in shadows.

In his eyes, she and her companions were so shining, and they were enthusiastically worshiped by the local people.

In comparison, he really sucks.

Although on the surface he is the captain of the Akina Mountain Speed ​​Star team... But the level of the captain of the car club is absolutely impossible to compare with Mako's cool drifting.

He doesn't deserve Mako at all.

And Makoto is interested in him... I'm afraid it's just his self-indulgence.

"I don't know either, Kenji." He said absentmindedly, covering his face with his hands slowly: "I really don't know."

He doesn't know what Takumi knows, and he doesn't know how to face Mako for the time being, but he is still very grateful to Takumi for bringing him here.

"Okay Iketani." Seeing him like this, Kenji couldn't bear it, so he changed the subject and said, "Takumi is the pride of all Akina drivers. This is his first away game, so don't put on a dejected face." , just cheer him up."

"you're right."

Ikegani slowed down a little, with a forced smile on his face: "I never knew that Takumi was such an active guy, maybe it's because of his recent changes."

In their impression, Takumi is always lazy.

They are indifferent to the things around them, and they will find many reasons to avoid interpersonal communication.

It was enough to shock them that they would have friendship with Takahashi Ryosuke, the number one star in Gunma, and be so good that they would travel alone.

Takumi took the initiative to challenge them just now, which made them even more incredible.

Kenji couldn't help joking: "Yes, if his nature of being in a daze anytime and anywhere hadn't changed, I almost wondered if he had changed."

Fujiwara Takumi, who was in the middle of a fierce chase, didn't know that Kenji-senpai almost told the truth.

After passing the first corner that symbolizes the start of the race, the dark blue SIL-80 in front of it suddenly stepped up the accelerator and unceremoniously showed its full strength.

Although it is slightly inferior in horsepower, the mere 70 horsepower gap does not mean that SIL-80 can take advantage on the rugged and winding Ubing Mountain Road with many corners that make people dizzy.

Compared with the SIL-80 running in front of it, the AE86 calmly entered the high-speed state almost the same as that of the car in front under the superb control of the driver.

As a partner deeply trusted by Mako Sato, Shaxue kept staring ahead, quickly grasped the road conditions, and gave instructions one after another in time.

"C3, grab the ground and run to the inside!"

"C4, there is no target car, OK! Drift running!"

"Very good! C5, use the grip!"

"C6, drift!"

Mako Sato's nerves were tense, and she could only concentrate a little to listen.

The reward of running Ubing tirelessly for more than two years is that she has trained a good muscle memory.

In many cases, before her brain really understood the hints given by Sha Xue, her body had already reacted one step ahead, turning left and right at a breath-taking speed, and darting through one corner after another.

Unlike SIL-80's seamless but intense collaboration, the atmosphere in AE86 is...almost laid-back.

It may be that Mr. Ryosuke will feel too boring sitting on the sidelines and watching him drive.

Before departure, Fujiwara Takumi even naively said "Should I turn on the radio".

Takahashi Ryosuke was amused by his cautious and caring attitude, and replied in a serious tone: "Although I am very grateful for your thoughtfulness, but when you run at full speed, the sound of the radio will only be overwhelmed by the speeding prompt."

Fujiwara Takumi patted his head embarrassingly, and had to admit that this might indeed be the case.

When he was driving alone, he had long been numb to the ding-ding-ding speeding siren.

Besides, he was so full of thoughts of "going back to sleep early" that he didn't have the habit of listening to the radio, so he never noticed this very practical problem.

After he realized that he had made a bad idea, he still wanted to make amends a little bit, and randomly checked the glove box: "Then... is Mr. Ryosuke hungry? Do you want some snacks?"

"Don't worry about me."

Besides, eating snacks in Akina 86's car...I'm afraid I'll vomit later.

Takahashi Ryosuke couldn't help laughing, looked at Takumi who couldn't help but look at the position of his seat belt and looked very worried, and gently chose not to remind this, but changed the topic: "I have put the safety belt The ends of the belt are locked and ready to go."

Although it is the first time for the co-driver of the AE86 to ride downhill at full speed, Takahashi Ryosuke will never underestimate his strength.

What's more, they are on the Ubing Mountain Road, which is famous in the driver circle for its surprisingly many curves and wild slope curvature.

Even on the Akagi Mountain Road with smooth curvature and good road conditions, the body will inevitably shake violently when going downhill with all its strength.

If you want to fix your body in the best way, it is not enough to simply buckle the seat belt buckle, the state that you can feel the looseness when you pull it.

After Takahashi Ryosuke fastened the buttons, he grabbed the belt body without thinking, and pulled it hard a few times to ensure that the two ends were locked and the whole was taut.

"Ah."

Although it is rare to be able to take care of Mr. Ryosuke, I am somewhat nervous.

But after seeing Mr. Ryosuke's usual attitude and making sure that Mr. Ryosuke would not encounter violent bumps like Mr. Keisuke who was too careless last time, Fujiwara Takumi gradually relaxed and dared to let go and go drifting.

And Ryosuke Takahashi, who was already familiar with him, could easily feel the peace of mind of the panda driver from the "um".

Unlike the time when he ran Uice for the first time ten years ago, Fujiwara Takumi had to concentrate on imitating the running method of the car in front and rely on the driving instinct he had developed over the years to survive the whole process. It was extremely thrilling.

If it hadn't been for SIL-80 overcharging in the end and stalling and skidding, it might be difficult for him to win in the first round.

But now Takumi Fujiwara, who has accumulated countless experience on the track and has a wealth of theoretical knowledge reserves, already has the skill of "as long as you master the basic direction of the road, you can find the optimal route".

When the car in front leads the way, the mountain road is narrow, and the curve is sharp, he neither intends nor is it convenient to overtake.

Of course, it must not be able to display its true strength.

Well, anyway, Mr. Ryosuke chose to let him chase one after another this time, mainly to better observe the running style of the local car in front, as a comparison with the 86.

In this case, he just needs to make sure that he follows closely enough.

Fujiwara Takumi sincerely hopes that Ms. Mako will not repeat the same mistakes, but can complete the first trip completely, so that Mr. Ryosuke can collect more data.

Although he lost his mind a little at the beginning, Takumi's body reaction was like the most precise machine without any lag.

When the AE86 was biting the SIL-80 tightly and cutting into the C6, among the four people in the two cars, the only one, Ryosuke Takahashi, who did not need to participate in the competition and could take a look at the overall situation with peace of mind, was undoubtedly the one who could clearly understand the two cars. There is a gap in the strength of individual drivers.

The cornering speed is better than the AE86, and when accelerating out of the corner, the AE86 is also more sensitive.

The so-called "best route that is only 5cm away from the perfect route" was explored by the local drivers after running day after day, but was easily accomplished by the talented driver who drove the 86 as if he was controlling his own hands and feet.

— Puff.

That was when Takumi stepped on the brake pedal and shifted the center of gravity at the moment of entering the corner, affected by the sudden weight of the front of the car and the suspension system suddenly lowered, the shock absorber suddenly sank.

Takahashi Ryosuke lowered his eyes, and silently endured the strong G force that pushed him to the left rear due to the fierce tail flick in the right bend.

Even though he had made preparations in advance, he still couldn't help but let out a muffled snort when he was continuously squeezed fiercely.

The 86 nimbly and lightly pursued the vehicle in front, maintained a distance that was so short that it could be ignored, and performed a series of dazzling high-tech manipulations.

This infinitely gorgeous cycle of drifting, anti-drifting, gripping, and drifting is definitely a visual feast that makes the driver in front feel extremely painful and the audience is obsessed.

Obviously it was the chaser who was destined to be unable to overtake in this round, but relying on the crushing of strength, he controlled the rhythm of the mountain road without any suspense.

In the blink of an eye, the two cars that were fighting fiercely rushed through more than 20 curves.

When the internal organs gradually got used to being pushed by the rough G force, Takahashi Ryosuke was keenly aware of something immediately, and corrected his thoughts more than half a minute ago.

No.

It's not just the rhythm of the mountain road that falls into the control of Takumi Fujiwara.

It's the rhythm of the game.

It is conceivable that the poor driver of the car in front may have fallen into a certain degree of panic under the obvious hunting of the car behind, and unconsciously disrupted his normal pace.

Although it is not out of control yet, the speed has slowed down a lot.

After realizing this, the driver in the front car will easily fall into doubts about his own strength, and his performance will inevitably decline further.

Takahashi Ryosuke's indifferent eyes casted on Takumi who was calm and obviously far from reaching his limit, like staring at a dazzling star without knowing it.

In an official race, it is rare for a driver to carry a passenger on the co-pilot.

In theory, the passenger in the co-driver will only have a slight impact on the thrust-to-weight ratio and horsepower of the whole car.

But for drag racers who often hang on the line and seek to exert their own strength and vehicle performance limits, even if it is only a slight negative impact, it should be avoided as much as possible.

Takumi Fujiwara dared to do this out of his complete trust in himself, in 86, and in him.

From the perspective of him in the co-pilot, he completely put his life in the hands of such a seemingly reckless driver.

After realizing this, Takahashi Ryosuke was slightly surprised.

It turned out that he trusted Fujiwara Takumi far more than he imagined.

Against such an unimaginable talent.

Takahashi Ryosuke smiled and closed his eyes.

...It is really a happy and cruel thing.
