"Does Young Master Gu usually enjoy rally racing?"
"Actually, I'm not that into cars," Gu Ran said with a smile. "My wife is more into cars."
"Then shall Miss Su participate in tonight's match?" Lin Shengquan asked.
"No, of course I'm here." Gu Ran said, and then got into the driver's seat.
Lin Shengquan watched the two get into the car together without saying anything, but when he turned around and got into his own car, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.
He wins for sure!
Because he saw that Gu Ran actually let Su Xiaoqiang sit in the passenger seat.
This means that Gu Ran's car will have the weight of one more person.
It's important to understand that in racing, every bit of weight is crucial; adding even one extra person's weight can significantly slow down the car.
He walked towards his car, a red Lamborghini Aventador, a top-of-the-line sports car, but with only 700 horsepower, not as much as Gu Ran's Hennessy with 1200 horsepower.
However, the Nürburgring has many corners, and high horsepower is not always a good thing. Anyone can accelerate in a straight line, but speed in corners is what really matters. Good handling is what can truly widen the gap.
Moreover, he had driven the Nürburgring countless times, and he knew exactly how to enter and exit each corner.
The other person was just a college student who had never been to Northern New York before.
Lin Sheng had no idea how he would lose.
He didn't think Gu Ran was lying, but every racer might be suited to different tracks. Gu Ran might really be an excellent racer, but he wasn't familiar with the Nürburgring, so this would be his Waterloo.
Unless Gu Ran really did secretly come to New York North many times, but then again, if Gu Ran really did come to New York North many times, Lin Shengquan couldn't possibly not know, because he would come to New York North whenever he had free time, New York North was like his second home.
In short, no matter what, Lin Shengquan believed that he was bound to win tonight. In this way, he could get the Su family's more than 80 million US dollars for free and not worry about being bothered.
The son-in-law of the Su family lost money to him, and the other party had no excuse to ask for it back, otherwise the Su family would lose face.
……
At this moment, the two drove together to the starting line of the Nürburgring Nordschleife. People around them stood on Lin Shengquan's side, waving flags and cheering him on.
There was no one cheering for Gu Ran, making it seem rather deserted.
Seeing this, Su Xiaoqiang leaned over and kissed his cheek: "Go for it, beat him!"
"Of course." Gu Ran smiled after receiving a kiss from the beauty.
"Seriously, is it really okay to bring me along? Won't it affect our speed?" Su Xiaoqiang asked.
"Silly girl, have you forgotten I have superpowers? I can make you disappear, have you forgotten?" Gu Ran asked with a smile.
"Oh right!" Su Xiaoqiang patted his head, realizing he had almost forgotten about that.
At the starting line, the two of them watched the starting lights ahead of them. When the lights turned green, it was time to start.
Lin Shengquan was revving the engine while keeping one foot on the brake, ready to launch at any moment.
Gu Ran, on the other hand, was very relaxed and did not step on the brake. He just smiled at Su Xiaoqiang and said, "Moreover, I can not only make a person's weight disappear, but I can also make a car's weight disappear."
As soon as he finished speaking, the starting lights changed from red to green, and the Lamborghini was the first to start, because his launch control technique was indeed amazing.
But... he was only awesome for a fraction of a second, less than a second.
Then Gu Ran overtook him.
The people standing at the starting line were all dumbfounded.
All they saw was Gu Ran suddenly step on the gas, and the yellow car shot off like a rocket, as if it had no weight at all.
Gu Ran's Hennessy Venom GT already had a fast 0-100 km/h acceleration, and now Gu Ran has reduced its weight by nine-tenths, so it now weighs just over 100 kilograms.
So of course it flew out like a rocket!
In less than a second, the car's speedometer exceeded 100 kilometers per hour!
Lin Sheng, who was driving the Lamborghini next to them, was completely dumbfounded. "Is your car some kind of cheat code? Is the engine modified?"
Because the original engine of this car already has 1,200 horsepower, if it is modified, it would need at least 2000 horsepower to achieve 0-100 km/h acceleration.
But isn't this something only aircraft engines can do?
Lin Shengquan didn't understand at all; he was simply even more shocked! It was as if his worldview had been completely overturned!
The person who was most shocked was Su Xiaoqiang, who was sitting in the passenger seat. Before she could say anything, she suddenly felt the car's most intense push-back feeling. The push-back feeling came suddenly and was more intense than ever before, making her scream involuntarily.
"what!!!!!!"
Su Xiaoqiang kept shouting, but she was laughing because it was so exciting!
If an ordinary person were driving, she might be scared, but because Gu Ran was driving, the person she trusted most, she wasn't scared, she just felt excited!
so fun!
After the car flew off, it soon encountered the first bend.
The Nürburgring Nordschleife is 26 kilometers long and has 73 regular corners. If you include the smaller, finer corners, the total number of corners is as high as 177!
Moreover, these curves are all in dense forest, requiring quick reaction time to enter and exit the curves. And since it was nighttime, if you are not careful and don't time it right, you could easily crash and overturn.
Especially considering Gu Ran's current speed.
Lin Shengquan stared ahead, wanting to see how Gu Ran would control the car, because his speed was almost exceeding the car's top speed, and if he wasn't careful, the car would overturn.
This is why Lin Shengquan said that speed is not necessarily a good thing.
However, Gu Ran had already activated his Sharingan, and under the Sharingan's dynamic capture, his reaction ability was also enhanced to the extreme.
The moment he saw the curve, he found the optimal entry and exit trajectory, and then he gently turned the steering wheel, causing the car to drift slightly to the side.
"This is...drifting? Has he gone mad?" Lin Shengquan was immediately shocked when he saw Gu Ran drifting sideways!
Drifting actually only happens in rally racing, where it can give drivers a good entry line into corners on uneven tracks.
However, the Nürburgring is a professional track with paved roads and a very flat surface. Drifting will not increase cornering speed, but will instead reduce cornering efficiency.
Therefore, if you frequently follow racing competitions, you will notice that F1 cars never drift; they always use deceleration to adjust and quickly navigate corners.
But Gu Ran was actually drifting at such a high speed, which was simply ridiculous!
Lin Shengquan glanced at his car's speedometer, which showed 250 kilometers per hour. Gu Ran's car was faster, so his speed was probably over 300 kilometers per hour!
Drifting at that speed, isn't that suicidal? The car is very likely to hit the curb and roll over!
“But…” Lin Shengquan suddenly seemed to sense something was wrong. His eyes clearly saw Gu Ran drifting away, but!
"But why is there no braking sound when he drifts!" Yes, Lin Shengquan finally realized something was wrong. Gu Ran's drift was silent!
How could someone drift without making a sound?
Moreover, Gu Ran's drift did not slow down. Why is that? It's really strange.
Chapter 573 Are you worthy to be my enemy?
Lin Shengquan saw that Gu Ran's drift did not slow down, and there were no tire brake marks on the ground. The entire drifting process was very smooth, and what was most surprising was that his drift did not lose much speed.
In short, the car slides sideways through the corner, and then exits the corner in a straight line, instantly propelling itself forward.
"What... what's going on?" Lin Shengquan had never seen a car turn like that before. It was as if physics didn't exist!
Lin Shengquan was originally very confident about the game, but the game had just begun, and he had just passed a bend when he suddenly realized that he might lose.
Lin Shengquan had just passed the first bend. Fortunately, he could still see Gu Ran's taillights. Moreover, when Gu Ran was going through the second bend, he didn't use the silent drifting technique he used in the first bend. Instead, he braked and slowed down to get through the bend properly.
"What's going on here?" Lin Shengquan was a little confused about Gu Ran's plans, but this gave him the confidence to continue the competition.
The reason Gu Ran stopped speeding was simple: Su Xiaoqiang, who was in the passenger seat, was carsick.
This drifting technique is simple: suddenly turn to make the car slide sideways, but at the same time use the Super Light Rock Technique to make the car float. In this way, the car can be thrown out directly by inertia without much speed loss. Then, when exiting the corner, use the Heavy Rock Technique to make the car instantly regain traction and shoot out again.
Su Xiaoqiang wouldn't get dizzy from normal straight-line acceleration, but Gu Ran's drifting inertia was significant. The sudden stop when she was thrown out caused a conflict between Su Xiaoqiang's balance system and visual perception, resulting in physical discomfort.
She doesn't usually get carsick, but this time it was too intense.
The human body's sense of balance is mainly controlled by the vestibular system in the inner ear, which senses head position, speed, and direction of movement. When a car swings or rotates rapidly, the vestibular system sends a signal to the brain that "the body is in vigorous motion."
However, if a person stares intently at a stationary chair or fixed objects in their surroundings, the visual system will transmit feedback indicating that the body is relatively still. This sensory conflict can cause the brain to misinterpret it as "poisoning" or an "abnormal state," thus triggering a protective response of nausea and vomiting.
Drivers, on the other hand, don't have this problem because when driving, they use their feet to press the accelerator, and their brains are aware that the car is accelerating. Therefore, drivers generally don't get carsick.
When Gu Ran noticed that Su Xiaoqiang was carsick, he immediately touched her stomach with his hand and used his palm magic to relieve her symptoms, but he didn't use this technique again.
"Am I holding everyone back?" Su Xiaoqiang shouted loudly at this moment.
"It's okay, you're my sweet burden." Gu Ran even had the leisure to touch Su Xiaoqiang's hand, smile at her, and then began to downshift, brake, and accelerate through the corner.
This time, because the car provided noticeable feedback, Su Xiaoqiang didn't feel carsick.
And I think I just heard him say some sweet words, which made me feel so sweet that I no longer feel carsick.
He may now have diabetes.
“Even without those cornering techniques, I can beat him if I drive normally.” Gu Ran easily navigated the corner and continued to accelerate forward.
This car uses paddle shifters, so it's quite easy to operate.
With the Sharingan assisting him in driving, even though he hadn't driven the Nürburgring much, he could easily complete the entire course thanks to the Sharingan's perception abilities.
Moreover, he is now two turns ahead of Lin Shengquan.
Lin Shengquan was trying his best to catch up from behind. He was gambling that Gu Ran was indeed not familiar with the curves of the Nürburgring.
If Gu Ran makes a few mistakes, he is confident that he can catch up on these two bends.
But this is on the condition that Lin Shengquan makes no more mistakes.
So from that moment on, Lin Shengquan focused his attention and drove with complete concentration.
However, at this moment, Gu Ran had already driven to the first long straight section, and accelerated to the limit with one foot on the gas pedal, and the speed immediately reached 270 km/h, with the roar of the engine deafening.
Gu Ran's car already had 500 more horsepower than the other party's Lamborghini, so this time it was a performance crushing victory!
As Lin Shengquan watched Gu Ran's taillights recede into the distance, his previously focused mood suddenly turned somewhat impatient.
At this point, fifty seconds into the race, Gu Ran had already passed the crucial bend, the "airport," at a speed of 200 kilometers per hour.
Lin Shengquan reached the bend four seconds after Gu Ran, with a turning speed of only 170.
This reveals the difference between the two sides.
