He then bent down and pointed at the car on the P5 starting grid in front.

"Actually, the solution is very simple. At the start, overtake him first, then overtake all the drivers in front, and you'll be the champion."

[Damn...]

Chen Xiangbei thought Odetto might propose some constructive strategy, but it turned out to be such nonsense.

If it weren't for the sake of respecting the team leader and elder, he really wanted to give him the finger.

Just as Odetto finished speaking, the second whistle sounded on the track. He turned away with great flair, leaving only twenty cars and drivers on the track.

At this moment, Chen Xiangbei refocused, donned a cold expression, and with a "snap," pushed down the visor of his helmet, his gaze locked onto the starting lights.

Though Odetto's words were simple, he wasn't wrong about the process.

To be the champion, you must overtake each opponent before you!

The lights above the track went out, and the cars started to enter the rhythm of the warm-up lap one by one.

Overtaking is not allowed during the warm-up lap in the race unless you want to cause trouble like Schumacher did back in the day. Otherwise, there's no point in doing something meaningless and getting penalized for it.

The short warm-up lap of over a minute quickly ended, and the twenty cars returned to their starting grids. The drivers behind Chen Xiangbei weren't just fixated on the starting lights; they also kept an eye on car number 13 out of the corner of their eyes.

Commentator Mike's phrase "track public enemy" wasn't an exaggerated gimmick.

Indeed, in this Renault event, many European drivers aimed to defeat the Chinese Kid.

No one likes to be overshadowed by an outsider in their European home turf.

And this person happens to be a traditionally weaker Chinese driver!

As the final car, number 9, completed its warm-up and settled back into its grid, the sound of engines revving filled the track, igniting the passion of the tens of thousands of fans present.

The "beep, beep, beep" sound rang out, and the five starting lights successively lit up, until the last moment when the manual button was pressed to turn them off.

The instant the lights went out, Chen Xiangbei already stomped on the accelerator; with a flick of the paddle shifter, he quickly shifted gears to accelerate.

If there were an aerial view at this moment, you'd see that Chen Xiangbei started much faster than the car in the P5 starting grid, so much that "sprint" would be the apt term.

And Chen Xiangbei didn't leave the driver in the same row any room to fight back. Leading from the start, he jerked the steering wheel to the left, aggressively blocking the car number 17, which was on the P5 starting grid, behind him.

Chen Xiangbei executed Odetto's casual instruction to the letter, overtaking the driver in front right at the start!

"NICE, Chinese driver Bei's start is as smooth as ever. He directly blocked driver number 17, William, behind him."

"It's worth noting that William comes from the seasoned team Kleim Athletic and has even won the French Karting Championship title, yet he seems powerless in front of the Chinese driver Bei."

"It looks like today's race will be extremely exciting and filled with tension. Let's see how many opponents driver Bei can overtake, and whether he can ultimately have a head-to-head with Magnussen?"

James was extremely excited in his commentary, knowing that Chen Xiangbei, the Chinese Kid, was aggressive and would definitely not settle for his P6 position.

Only James hadn't anticipated that Chen Xiangbei would take down the French Karting Championship winner right from the start!

Not only was James surprised, but William, in car number 17, was also dazed as if in a trance.

Initially, he wanted to leverage his forward starting grid advantage to shift lanes and block Chen Xiangbei behind him, suppress this Chinese Kid's arrogance, and earn cheers from the audience!

But William's presumed smooth start was utterly ineffective against Chen Xiangbei.

He really couldn't figure out how Chen Xiangbei's car number 13 managed to surge and overtake from behind. Clearly, his clutch-and-throttle coordination was already perfect, and any more throttle would risk skidding and tire burn.

Now, William somewhat understood why Mansell was forcefully overtaken by Chen Xiangbei on the bend and then lost control, crashing into the wall.

At that moment, perhaps Mansell's mind was as shocked and blank as William's is now, completely at a loss for how to counteract!
