The fans behind Qiong Hai also started to howl wildly upon seeing Lin Yan.
A seemingly endless convoy of vehicles, accompanied by the roar of engines, was a truly unique sight in this Western-style city.
If possible, Lin Yan also wanted to organize a fan meeting like this, but the traffic in Kyoto seemed to prohibit it.
Seeing so many motorcycles for the first time, Su Mojin appeared very excited, pressing against the glass and watching intently.
Qiong Hai then noticed a young girl next to Lin Yan. What was this about? Was he bringing family? Qiong Hai was a bit confused.
At nine-thirty, the RV arrived at the international race circuit in Country A. By the time Lin Yan arrived, most of the other teams were already there, and the area behind the pit box was already filled with RVs.
At ten o'clock, the unloading was complete.
Lin Yan stood at the entrance of the pit box, gazing at the track before him. When it came to serious matters, he became solemn. The race in Country A was undoubtedly going to be a tough battle.
As far as he knew, Ducati had never finished in the top three on this track before. Their best result was fifth, achieved by Rins. This record was rather dismal.
Lin Yan never denied Rins's skill; he was definitely considered a top-tier driver among all racers.
As for why he was dismissed, honestly, Lin Yan had a personal bias regarding nationality. Although unfair, this was reality. Lin Yan was not a saint, but he was a Chinese person.
The track was 4.3 kilometers long, with ten left turns and nine right turns.
Analyzing previous races, Yamaha was the strongest on this track. Therefore, Lin Yan paid great attention to Qiong Hai, who was Yamaha's ace driver. When Lin Yan was not present last year, it was Qiong Hai and Reissna who competed for the championship on this track.
Under normal circumstances, Qiong Hai's strength was slightly lower than Reissna's.
However, the characteristics of this track were particularly advantageous for Yamaha. It had many corners and few straights, allowing Yamaha's strong cornering performance to be fully utilized, while Ducati was the opposite.
Therefore, Zhang Mingzhi's concerns were not unfounded. On this track, Lin Yan's car did not have an advantage; it might even drag Lin Yan down.
At this moment, Su Mojin did not disturb Lin Yan but sat alone in the pit box. Her understanding of the overall situation was always excellent, which was one of the reasons Lin Yan liked her.
She never caused trouble, always centered her actions around Lin Yan, and knew what to ask and what not to ask, never being too talkative. This personality trait was very pleasing to Lin Yan.
The spectators gradually entered the venue, and the stands were crowded. By ten-thirty in the morning, over ninety thousand spectators had filled the entire venue.
"Hello everyone, I am your old friend, Hao Dong."
In the spectator stands, Hao Dong had set up his tripod early and positioned the live broadcast screen correctly.
This time, he had traveled all the way from China to Country A, not for anything else but to support Lin Shen. Competing abroad was definitely bringing glory to the country.
In addition to Hao Dong, twenty thousand Chinese fans had also come. It seemed fewer than at the Shanghai station, but this was abroad.
For twenty thousand people to travel abroad to watch Lin Yan compete, the round-trip airfare alone for one person would likely cost tens of thousands of yuan, which was not affordable for ordinary people. This showed how affluent Lin Yan's fans were.
Moreover, this time they had even unified their attire. Almost everyone was wearing shirts printed with Lin Yan's cornering graphics, and the overall color of the shirts was Chinese red.
A sea of red in the spectator stands was particularly eye-catching. Without needing to identify them, one could tell which section was Lin Yan's fans. Of course, all of this was the work of Lin Guoxiong.
At the same time, many banners were being held up on the field, all of them undoubtedly cheering for Lin Yan, completely unaffected by the news of Lin Yan's girlfriend being exposed.
Lin Yan, seeing this scene from the pit box, waved towards the camera.
Through the large screen in front of the Chinese stands, Lin Yan and his fans interacted before the race.
As the draw proceeded, the race was about to begin.
Lin Yan's car number twenty-seven had tire warmers fitted. Lin Yan and Ren Fei both stood up and started warming up.
"There is half an hour left before the race starts. Now let's look at the weather conditions at the qualifying session. According to the temperature instruments, the weather today is twenty-four degrees Celsius, with the track temperature at forty-five degrees Celsius. This temperature is indeed a bit lower compared to the previous Shanghai station, but it is perfectly fine for qualifying."
Within an hour of broadcasting, Hao Dong's live stream had surpassed the ten million mark. Those who were not present at the venue had almost all tuned in to watch the broadcast.
Soon, it was eleven fifty in the morning. All the cars were pushed out of the pit boxes and lined up in order according to the draw.
Lin Yan, fully geared up, walked out of the pit box and straddled his race car.
His starting position was towards the rear, right behind Reissna and Qiong Hai. However, coincidentally, the person behind Lin Yan was none other than Rins.
But Lin Yan didn't pay much attention. He operated the main control panel of the car a few times, and the ride height of the GP22's front and rear wheels slowly lowered, activating the launch control mode.
This was also a piece of "black technology" for factory cars, similar to the adjustable ride height function in sports cars, typically used for starting.
As the red flag was waved, the driver in the first position accelerated fully, and the car sped away, officially commencing the qualifying session.
Five seconds later, the second driver started.
"It's almost time for our third driver, Reissna. Reissna has been a bit unlucky recently. Not only did he draw an early starting position, but I heard he also got injured a few days ago. He is competing with an injury this time, which is commendable."
