"Even though he's a world-class racer, he still doesn't have a bit of grace." Ye Shikai followed behind, constantly observing the situation of the cars ahead. Jack and Han Ruoyao's cars occupied the first and second positions, quickly distancing themselves from the pack, after a few bends it was clear who the experts were. Originally starting last, Ye Shikai was now facing only three cars ahead.
In front of the club was a huge screen where the race could be watched in real time. At this moment, the crowd noticed a Lamborghini overtaking one car after another, climbing up in the rankings.
"Yay, I just knew brother-in-law was the best." Su Ziqing watched the race situation on the screen, another beautiful drift, Ye Shikai slowly chased up. However, most of the attention was still on Jack and Han Ruoyao, not a few spoiled rich kids had "discussed" the looks behind this female racing goddess's mask. Most imagined her to be a great beauty, indeed, Han Ruoyao could certainly be considered a beauty. Men are always curious about unknown mysteries, so the less they knew about the racing goddess's appearance, the more they wanted to find out.
Some once "spent a fortune" just to catch a glimpse of the racing goddess's face, though it was said that her background was quite powerful, so no one knew.
Entering a 180-degree hairpin, Ye Shikai planned to overtake from the inside, unexpectedly, the sports car ahead gave up even the drift line just to block him.
Really lacking in technical content, blocking with the car, Ye Shikai couldn't just crash, but ultimately, this is a race, since it's a competition, the process is all for the result. Though a bit sneaky, it's indeed practical. Ye Shikai had seen racing teams confront each other, several members maintaining formation, completely blocking overtaking routes. Of course, while the formation was tight, it wasn't entirely without space for overtaking. Just that no racer would gamble their entire career for a race win. Should two cars traveling at speeds over 150 mph collide, it could easily cause fatalities.
Ye Shikai slammed the accelerator, surged forward fiercely, attempting to intimidate the car ahead into retreating. Unexpectedly, the car ahead showed no signs of backing down, occasionally braking and accelerating. Ye Shikai was forced to slow down to avoid rear-ending, resulting in increasing distance from the car ahead. Ye Shikai was anxious, he had to quickly break free, or he'd fall entirely behind.
"Dammit, get out of my way." Ye Shikai seized an opportunity during a bend, slammed the accelerator, attempting to overtake from the inside, leaving two clear brake marks on the ground. Ye Shikai's front wheel pressed against the edge's gutter cover, akin to the principle of a speed bump, forcefully overtaking from the inside. After another bend, the two cars ran neck and neck, Ye Shikai floored the accelerator, and the other car accelerated up.
"I must overtake you." Ye Shikai turned the steering wheel left, trying to suppress his route with the car.
At that moment, two more cars overtook from the sides, sandwiching Ye Shikai's car left and right, seemingly intent on blocking him. If his guess was right, these two cars were the companion of that driver, coming together to "siege" Ye Shikai.
Bam.
Suddenly, a car slammed from the left, directly striking the side of Ye Shikai's car body. Both vehicles were moving at high speeds, even though the relative speed wasn't huge, but given they were two high-speed racing cars, even the slightest scrape caused severe tremors.
In racing, many such cases occur, where two race cars accidentally bump into each other, leading to catastrophic results, mostly due to the body losing balance, flipping out due to inertia.
"Reckless to the extreme."
At this moment, the car from the right slammed in again, maintaining balance became even harder. Ye Shikai angled the steering wheel to keep the car steady, now flanked on both sides, with another blocking in front, virtually locked tightly. Typically, anyone in this situation would choose to give up.
However, they overlooked one crucial point; this track couldn't simultaneously accommodate three race cars drifting side by side. Meaning that at the next bend, only two cars could pass through, implying one from his left or right would have to decelerate during the bend. The next bend was a right turn, so the car on his left should slow down, trailing Ye Shikai through the turn.
Sure enough, nearing thirty meters to the bend, the sports car on the left reluctantly decelerated, otherwise, it risked rushing off the track, leading to... catastrophic destruction.
Ye Shikai refused to waste this opportunity, abruptly twisted the steering wheel, nearly skimming the inner edge to drift inside. At this level of drifting, unless one was crazy, no one dared to do it.
Imagine the feelings of those in the three cars right now.
Ye Shikai was racing with his life on the line.
"Car number eight executed a perfect drift, overtaking three cars at the bend, it's simply a miracle." Ye Shikai's astonishing performance finally captured everyone's attention. Since Tianshan Club's establishment, there hadn't been a record of a car drift overtaking three cars at a bend.
Ye Shikai revved up, creating distance from the three cars behind. Although the spoiled rich kids' cars were powerful, they couldn't match Ye Shikai on skill. Up ahead, it was full of sharp bends, impossible for them to surpass him.
Ye Shikai gradually closed the gap, driving a Lamborghini that wasn't modified, barely qualifying as a proper race car. His excellent performance soon caught the audience's eye, his maneuvers rivalling those of the goddess and Jack. Some noticed that this race might have Ye Shikai as the biggest underdog.
"Yaoyao, can you hear me?" Ye Shikai took out his earpiece and spoke to Han Ruoyao.
"Hmm, it appears the uncle hasn't lost any skill." Han Ruoyao's playful voice came through the earpiece; this girl, truly fearless.
"How about it, are you confident in beating Jack?" questioned Ye Shikai.
"Hmm, his skills are good, but he's too arrogant. By the final eight bends, I will overtake him," Han Ruoyao said resolutely, then added, "and also defeat you, uncle."
"Haha, alright then, I'm looking forward to it." Ye Shikai replied smugly, charged forward swiftly. If he could surpass the car ahead, next would be Han Ruoyao's Aston Martin. By now, the race was halfway through, with the rest nearly all bends.
