Chapter 288: To Put What You Have just Learnt into Practice

Xiao Luo's Trumpchi continued to maintain its lead through the winding sections of Wild Wolf Mountain until finally, they had come to the stretch just up ahead. It was a two-kilometer straight section of the course. This was where it'd start getting a little challenging for the Trumpchi as it had its limitations, both in the power output its engine and the drag coefficient of the car. The large SUV had a top speed of two hundred kilometers per hour on the straight and could go no faster than that.

This was where the supercars of Lei Shijian and Shen Qingyan would have the advantage, and they immediately floored their gas pedals the moment they got into that portion of the course. They were both going at roughly three hundred kilometers per hour, almost as fast as the high-speed rail.

The two supercars streaked along the straight like a couple of phantoms, one in the front of the other, and quickly chipped away at the Trumpchi's hard-earned lead.

"The supercars are showing us what they're made of at this moment. We can see that Wolf King and Queen are chasing down the Trumpchi like two wild beasts. The lead that the Trumpchi fought so hard to get is quickly diminishing, and they're now getting closer, barely twenty meters away... oh, alright, forget I even said that...

"When they got to the gasoline drums, Wolf King and Queen had overtaken the Trumpchi, one after the other, and once again, they're back to the same situation they were in during the previous laps. Oh, the Trumpchi is lagging far behind now; that didn't take too long! There's no way that it can compete with a supercar. But, we never know; there is still a possibility that it might snatch the lead position again as the race progresses. After all, wouldn't you all agree that a 'God' is driving the Trumpchi?"

The tall and skinny young man provided a running commentary on the mic, keeping the crowd well informed. His entire face was dripping with sweat from all the hard work of shouting, and blue veins were bulging visibly from his neck and forehead. He had been screaming excitedly into the mic since the race began, and his voice was slowly getting hoarse.

Nobody in the crowd cheered along with him any longer. The Trumpchi was now more than fifty meters behind the supercars, and this distance would only keep increasing from hereon. Although the Trumpchi had managed to catch up in the last lap, nobody was sure that it would be able to catch up again this time around.

"Oi, you got to give the Trumpchi some screen time this lap, I'll break your damn car if you don't give it some."

"Right, you have to give it some screen time. I want to watch the Trumpchi drift, I really admire its technique."

"We don't care if you skip Wolf King and Queen's screen time, but you have to give the Trumpchi some coverage. Otherwise, I don't care what kind of support or backing your video team has, I'll go get myself a machete and chop all of you to death."

Suddenly, a sizeable group of fans became aggressive. Clenching their fists, they ran up to the tall and skinny young man shouting at him. They were diehard fans of the Trumpchi now, and there were also countless posts appearing in the forum, many of them threatening to do something drastic if the Trumpchi was not given more air time.

Under pressure from the crowd, the video team had no choice but to track the Trumpchi using the drone. When the huge screen displayed the Trumpchi's daring maneuvers to enter and exit corners at unbelievable speeds, drifting while ignoring the laws of the centripetal force, even members of the video team were stunned. They immediately used the drone to shoot a 360-degree coverage of the Trumpchi.

To cheers from the crowd, the huge screen was now showing multiple perspectives of the Trumpchi. There were shots from above, both the side views and even from the front. The live feed provided detailed views of every stage of the Trumpchi—at the point of initiating the drift, sustaining the slide, and powering through the exit points of each corner. Not only was the Trumpchi speeding through the Wild Wolf Mountain course, but It was also capturing everyone's hearts and imagination, bringing to the event a unique and aesthetically pleasing performance that stirred the soul.
