This is not how you drive a machine!

Chapter 95 Close Combat
After the live broadcast room was pushed to the homepage, its popularity increased rapidly, almost doubling, and in an instant surpassed the 'Jingyun City Spring Event Competition'.

Two drivers who have broken through the limitations of mecha girls are indeed much more interesting than a race in a local city.

And... a large part of the Spring Event's popularity was due to the hype surrounding 'whether or not Dark Star could participate'.

The race has now reached the 3th corner of 24 laps. After two-thirds of the lap, Ning Yuan is almost exhausted.

The gap between the two mechas is now eight car bodies, and the gap is shrinking.

The decisive moment is coming soon!
He kept switching between shots of the two drivers, saying, "Tan Tonglu is still accelerating. He's trying his best to delay the decisive moment. It's a cat-and-mouse game. In a five-lap race, the longer he delays, the better the situation is for him."

"Unfortunately, the Death Star is not a pushover either. The distance between the two mechas is still shrinking!"

"He chases, he flees, he can't escape even if he has wings!"

Ning Yuan coughed and continued, "It seems that at the end of the third round, we will be able to enjoy exciting close combat!"

……

On the third lap, after Turn 38, Jackdaw had already come behind Qingjue and began to try to overtake him.

The scene at the abandoned factory area, the scene at the S game, everything is still vivid in my mind.

He took a deep breath.

Sometimes, racing is just that simple. If you lose, you’re upset, so just find a way to win it back.

Wanting to win was his original intention for this game.

The excessive brilliance and lonely sadness in the past have now all turned into unwillingness, flowing with his blood.

"Zhou Yun, I won't let you pass easily this time."

Qingjue also laughed. This was just the beginning.

In order to beat Zhou Yun once, Tan Tonglu almost forgot to eat and sleep and thought about how to deal with the chase. Zhou Yun's drifting and tail spray had a great advantage.

But he is not without a strategy to deal with it!

Looking at Zhou Yun popping up from left and right, Tan Tonglu said with a smile, "Qingjue, the other side is testing us."

"Then forget about it. Just do as you wish and block every corner." Qing Jue said passionately, "Block him for two laps! Let him know that you, Tan Tonglu, are not so easy to defeat!"

……

After passing Turn 39, we entered the fourth lap.

Facing waves of jade storms, Zhou Yun relied on the acceleration of the Jackdaw, constantly testing left and right, forcing Tan Tonglu's psychology.

The extreme speed that the Jackdaw possesses is the strongest sense of oppression. Any chance given by the opponent will ruin the normal game.

Therefore, the opponent will become anxious and reveal flaws in the frequent tests, which is how he won last time.

This time, Tan Tonglu's performance was as steady as an old dog.

It can even be said that being stable is a bit conservative.

“Evolved.”

Zhou Yun laughed, feeling a little drunk.

He had only encountered opponents twice in this world who could make his blood rush in a 1v1 duel.

One is Jiang Wuyang and the other is Jiang Xiyue.

"now it's right!"

He muttered something and took a more direct approach. Regardless of anything, he pressed forward on the left side. He planned to overtake Tan Tonglu in the same way as he had overtaken Jiang Wuyang.

Turn 1 of Xiaoyunshan Circuit is 120 degrees, with a wide opening at the entrance and a narrow exit.

After the bend is a long and narrow straight road. Whoever reaches the center of the bend first will win.

At this moment, Tan Tonglu is quickly moving to the right, striving for the best "outside-inside-outside" racing line. It is a good time to overtake on the inside!

So he swung quickly, making the starting action of inertial drift, and [Meteor] was ready.

……

"The opponent is about to start drifting, forcing the inside, and coming with great momentum."

Tan Tonglu gripped the joystick tightly and laughed, "Qingjue! Come on, let Jackdaw see how to make air-fried chicken (gate technique)!"

He suddenly turned the steering wheel and the car quickly rushed into the inside lane, heading towards the center of the corner, while releasing his exclusive skill [Same Road, Different Paths].

This skill can only be released against Qingjue, but it can easily change the air environment around the car body.

Even, create some special 'atmosphere'.

"The weakness of drifting is... when the car is out of control, it's really out of control."

“The moment you lose grip, it’s hard to react quickly.”

Zhou Yun, whose car's rear end had just been swung up, suddenly felt a turbulent air flow blowing from the Qingjue's tail wing and across the Jackdaw's body from the side.

He reacted quickly. He pulled up the handbrake suddenly and stepped on the [Grip Pedal] and [Wind Escape] at the same time. He quickly corrected the airflow of the car body and then performed a power drift.

However, there was still a delay of half a second.

In just half a second, Tan Tonglu had already occupied the center of the bend and was the first to rush into the straight. "It turned out to be air."

An indescribable excitement rushed into Zhou Yun's head.

He suddenly felt as if his mind was opened up, and some strange ideas began to emerge in his mind.

Not sure, check again.

……

"Air……"

Liu Yu of the Flying Whale Racing Team stood up. He had never seen much in the audience, and only now did he dare to be sure.

Tan Tonglu actually thought of playing with the air, which also explains the original cornering speed.

"Creating a pressure differential between the left and right sides of the car to corner..." His pupils dilated slightly. "This is too dangerous! The accident rate is over 20%."

The aerodynamics on a curve are already complex. If you force changes, once something goes wrong, even the 'kinetic stabilization system' won't be able to save you!

"It's almost a dangerous level of running compared to 'drifting'."

"It's too dangerous. You definitely can't play it."

Having said that, he couldn't take his eyes off the bend.

Lu Yang, who was standing by, also analyzed Tan Tonglu's tactics: "Playing like this on the track, this is really crazy!"

"I'm really not afraid of falling off the track after pushing the front!"

Having said that, he understood that the driver would have to undergo special training after returning.

How can you defeat your opponent if you keep standing still?

……

"The fight is fierce at the beginning! The Dark Star players are extremely eager to attack!"

"Seeing his probing failed, he tried to use his drifting advantage to take up less space and force his way inside, but Tan Tonglu forcibly slowed Si Zhaoxing's cornering speed..."

"Now Tan Tonglu has successfully entered the first corner!"

Ning Yuan nervously reported, "The long straight ahead isn't a good place to fight. Tan Tonglu is tightly controlling his position on the left to secure the best racing line for the next corner."

"Looks like Zhou Yun needs to wait if he wants to overtake again... Wait! Zhou Yun chose to make his move on the straight!"

"Is he crazy?"

In the live broadcast, Zhou Yun took advantage of the speed advantage of the Jackdaw in the straight and rushed directly to the right rear of Tan Tonglu.

The front wheel of the Jackdaw was almost touching the rear wheel of Tan Tonglu.

"This is a rather dangerous strategy!"

Ning Yuan spoke quickly. As someone involved in racing, he knew the dangers involved.

"With the front wheels pressed against the rear wheels, Zhou Yun can forcibly disrupt the air flow from the sides of Qingjue to the rear wing, physically slowing down Qingjue. But this is simply risking his life!"

"Two mechas traveling at high speed will cause bubbles to form in the air around them."

"Just like soap bubbles in water merge into larger bubbles when they meet, air bubbles will also merge."

"Right now, the two cars are attracting each other like a black hole. If we're not careful, they'll crash into each other!"

"To play well, this requires precise control down to the millimeter!"

In the VIP lounge, Jiang Xiyue widened her eyes.

His father told her that when he was competing with Zhou Yun, he used this method to try to defeat Zhou Yun.

Because Jiang Wuyang has absolute confidence in his driving skills, he is sure that he can control it well and will not fall into the black hole.

However, Zhou Yun was not fooled.

"Going to Zha Qingjue at this speed is too risky." Manager Ye said, "However, the best way for Tan Tonglu to deal with it is to give way."

"He was on the best racing line, gave way, and regained his position at the corner..."

He thought for a few seconds: "I can't get it back. The Jackdaw is faster and has a shorter turn time. Zhou Yun's move has forced Tan Tonglu to death."

……

Looking at the jackdaw speeding up beside him, Tan Tonglu felt more pressure. He gritted his teeth and then smiled.

"Zhou Yun, you really dare to play."

"Qing Jue..."

Qing Jue certainly understood what Tan Tonglu wanted to do: "I know, come on."

Tan Tonglu tightened his grip and moved closer to Zhou Yun.

On the other side, the Blue Sheep operations manager stood up and waved his arms excitedly.

“This is the driver we want!”
