After the poor daughter was exposed: bigwigs from all walks of life went crazy
Chapter 341 The torrential rain in Hungary brought forth a prodigy.
The F2 season is very long, consisting of practice sessions, qualifying, two sprint sessions, and the race.
The roar of the motor continued from the afternoon until nightfall.
With all speeds at their limits, the starting grid position becomes extremely important. Every second is crucial in Formula One racing; the driving strategies are meticulously calculated by the system, unlike ordinary racing where there are so many opportunities for a mid-race comeback.
In qualifying, Gu Xingye secured pole position, allowing him to start the race from the front. The YOLO team members, who had been somewhat nervous, immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
If he performs normally from now on, the F2 championship in Budapest is practically his.
Some astute news media outlets even wrote reports about Gu Xingye's victory and advancement in advance.
The stadium was brightly lit at night, and two blonde, blue-eyed young girls sitting next to Shen Shu took out the light sticks they had prepared beforehand.
As soon as the power was turned on, Gu Xingye's name lit up. This golden starlight quickly ignited the audience, and within a few breaths, most of the venue was flashing with Gu Xingye's signature support color.
Judging from their accents, the two girls seemed to be from the South of France. Since 90% of the girls who came to watch the game were there for Gu Xingye, they didn't even ask and just enthusiastically gave Shen Shu an extra light stick they had brought.
As a top driver, this was the first time she had ever held up a light stick for another driver.
Looking at the flashing golden lights, Shen Shu smiled helplessly. She was all too familiar with this color; after all, Gu Xingye had become the F1 racing driver with the highest percentage of female fans back then, thanks to his handsome and refined mixed-race face.
She followed suit, holding up a light stick, and inexplicably blended into Gu Xingye's fan group.
Amidst the cheers and jubilation of the crowd around her, she temporarily forgot all her pressure and worries, immersing herself purely in the competition as a spectator.
The drivers had been holding back in the previous practice sessions and hadn't gone all out, so the atmosphere became noticeably tense and anxious as soon as the race started.
Almost everyone's eyes were fixed on Gu Xingye, who started from the front. It was almost a certainty that he would win the championship, but unexpected events always come and leave people at a loss.
He ran very steadily in the first half of the race, but during the tire change in the pit lane, the Yolo team made a move that baffled everyone.
"Rain tires?! And blue full-weather tires at that!"
"Has the Yolo team's planner gone mad? It hasn't rained a single drop in Budapest for the past two weeks!"
Formula One car tires are divided into seven types, five of which are commonly used soft tires, and the other two are green semi-weather tires and blue full-weather tires.
Green semi-rain tires are suitable for damp conditions with a small amount of standing water. They have a small drainage capacity and are most frequently used in rainy weather.
Blue all-weather tires are suitable for deep water, but once they are on the track, it means the track conditions are so bad that a safety car has to be deployed, so they are useless even if installed.
People often joke that when you feel useless, you should learn about the blue tires of Formula One cars, the lifeguards in Olympic swimming pools, or Tyson's bodyguards.
It has a large water displacement, but its usage frequency on the track is almost zero. Moreover, the blue full-weather tires are almost twenty seconds slower than regular tires.
In a race where every second counts, a difference of twenty seconds can instantly drop a first-place finisher to last place.
Therefore, Yolo team's puzzling move not only surprised the audience, but also shocked and baffled the engineers and managers of other teams as well as the event organizers.
The system specifically designed to monitor real-time weather on the track didn't mention rain.
In the blink of an eye, everyone watched as Gu Xingye was overtaken by two McLaren drivers from behind.
Shen Shu calmly watched this scene, her delicate eyes showing no emotional fluctuation, because it was her suggestion and decision to have Gu Xingye use the blue all-weather tires.
Although the Yolo team's engineering team had doubts, they ultimately agreed. Because she was Mister, they chose to trust her unconditionally.
As Gu Xingye's number one fan, he nodded without even asking any questions.
In the final dozen or so laps, the audience watched as Gu Xingye's position slipped further and further back, and their emotions began to run high.
"Damn it! The Yolo team's strategist must be a mole from their enemy's camp! They could have easily won first place, why did they do this?!"
"What kind of team drags down the racers? They should just disband! Damn, this makes me so angry."
"..."
Interestingly, the rain that everyone had predicted would not fall actually arrived at this crucial final moment.
The audience, who had just been excited, felt a chill on their faces and looked up at the misty sky with confused eyes.
Night, rain, F2 finals.
Before many people could even realize what this meant, Gu Xingye's counterattack had already begun.
The large screen displayed his cockpit view, but all he could see was a white blur, his vision obscured by the mist kicked up by the car in front of him.
Even under these circumstances, he pressed the accelerator harder and harder. The race car driven by Gu Xingye seemed to have broken free of its seal and was rushing straight forward without hesitation.
The DSR accelerator was activated, the high-pitched engine roared, the revs kept increasing, and the extreme speed of 330 kilometers per hour kicked up the water on the track, tearing a sharp and long rain curtain in the air behind the car.
The audience didn't care about getting soaked; they were all shocked as they watched Gu Xingye overtake them from the back and take the lead.
Several times, the overtaking maneuvers involved repeatedly teetering on the edge of danger, yet each time they were thrilled and breathtaking, causing countless hearts to rise and fall with each turn.
Some racers without rain tires lacked the necessary skills, while others, for safety reasons, had to slow down and watch helplessly as Gu Xingye charged forward.
Before the race, all the drivers had memorized the map thoroughly, but without any visibility of the road conditions, no one dared to drive at full speed like him.
While the audience was excited, they couldn't help but feel a little worried for Gu Xingye.
With a completely obscured view and the risk of locking up the front wheels, you have to brake to the limit to enter a corner; a single mistake could be fatal.
The allure of rain racing lies in this: it is the most entertaining and skill-testing moment in Formula racing.
On the last lap, it was still raining.
The icy raindrops did not dampen the audience's spirits; instead, they acted as a catalyst, gradually pushing the atmosphere to its peak.
"Congratulations to Gu Xingye of the Yolo Racing Team on winning this year's F2 championship! See you at the F1 finish line in the future!"
The black and white checkered flag at the finish line fluttered in the wind. Amidst the high-pitched and enthusiastic screams and cheers, Gu Xingye, wearing a helmet, stood on the roof of the car, waving his arms to welcome his unique coronation ceremony.
As Shen Shu looked at that figure, she was also moved by the familiar yet intense atmosphere around her, and her eyes welled up with tears.
Gu Xingye took off his helmet, and his bright, deep blue-green eyes locked onto the figure he had been longing for at first glance, even through the noisy crowd.
Under the global live broadcast, he made a move that shocked everyone.
The boy's figure moved like a gust of wind; he braced himself against the railing with one hand and nimbly vaulted into the front row of the audience.
Under the rain, colorful fireworks burst in the sky, and at that moment he embraced Shen Shu tightly and reverently kissed her forehead.
In 2010, a torrential rain in Hungary brought forth a prodigy who was poised to win consecutive F1 championships.
Besides the trending topic of winning the championship and being promoted, there was also a deluge of gossip and rumors.
