Chapter 658: Winding Curves
Lin Yan’s smile widened as she watched Lightning’s captain overtake her.
The last lap ahead was full of winding curves. Hence, a racer wouldn’t be able to maximize his or her speed.
Lin Yan, however, would be able to display her skills on such a challenging road.
Lightning’s captain sped on swiftly and swerved slightly to the right by following the curves and corners. He was trying to maximize his speed as he rounded each curve.
The last few curves would display and test the abilities and skills of the racer. Lightning’s captain had indeed performed well, as he had displayed how careful and precise he was.
Cheers erupted for him and many people stood up to applaud Lightning’s captain.
The cheers weren’t meant to congratulate him for defeating a team like the He family team. People were cheering him on for navigating the challenging curves with such skill.
No one watched Lin Yan at all, and it seemed as though they had forgotten about the competition. Everyone’s attention was on Lightning’s captain.
“I didn’t realize that the third lap included so many winding curves…”
Wei Xufeng mused aloud on the VIP stands.
“The captain of the Lightning team has completed similar races. His record is 42 seconds. Do you think he would be able to break his own record?” Wei Xufeng turned to Qi Shaoyuan.
“Break his record?” Qi Shaoyuan blurted out, “Brother! This is a competition! Why would he care about breaking records?”
“Competition?” Wei Xufeng snorted with contempt. “That depends on the opponent. I believe that no one here, including the captain, would care about the He family team. I think that he merely treats Lin Yan as an obstacle on the racing track.”
…
Wei Xufeng’s words might not be pleasant, but this was the truth. The spectators also viewed Lin Yan as a mere obstacle on the track.
The commentator expounded, “It took the captain of the Lightning team 20 seconds to finish the first half of the third lap. His previous record was 42 seconds, and the track was 2,290 meters long. This track is 2,310 meters long. If he can finish it within 42 seconds, he will break his personal record.”
Before the commentator could continue, Lin Yan’s silver car came whizzing ahead at an incredible speed.
Everyone watched in disbelief as Lin Yan’s car drifted dangerously while the back tires ignited sparks.
In less than ten seconds, Lin Yan’s silver car had caught up with the car of Lightning’s captain and was close behind it.
The captain noticed the silver car and frowned.
There was no time for him to think. Thus, he instantly swerved his car to block Lin Yan’s path.
“This woman…” Lightning’s captain seemed startled and stunned.
Was this the racer of a lousy team?
This woman had supposedly lost to Storm?
At that moment, the captain’s eyes contained puzzlement and shock. He couldn’t master such a technique, let alone apply it during a real competition! Even if it was just a performance, he wouldn’t be able to pull it off!
