In top-tier competitions, there are no Chinese participants. However, based on Lin Yan's understanding, there are Chinese drivers in the junior leagues. It's just that their strength and talent might not be enough to reach the highest level.
From Lin Yan's observation, in terms of individual skill, this young boy's current ability is slightly stronger than Jiang Qimo and Yan Xiaoqiang.
However, his talent is not stronger than Yan Xiaoqiang's, only a bit better than Jiang Qimo's. It's easy to understand why his skill is superior to Yan Xiaoqiang's: he comes from a wealthy family and is a year older than Yan Xiaoqiang.
In the field of motorcycles, money significantly supports the improvement of individual strength.
With money, one might go far, but without it, one can't even start. Yan Xiaoqiang, for instance, is already a top prodigy considered outstanding in China.
"Are you saying he's very good?"
Su Mojin pointed at the second-place driver in the stands, speaking to Lin Yan with uncertainty in her eyes.
She was supposed to learn to drive as well, but she couldn't engage in such strenuous activities due to her pregnancy.
"Yes, he's quite good. After the race, we'll talk to him."
The race on the track had now entered a fever pitch. In the final few laps, all the drivers were pushing their limits. Several cars were tightly packed together; even though the race was nearing its end, their distances hadn't widened.
This is the charm of watching small-displacement races.
The kid Lin Yan had his eye on was indeed fierce. Not only could he maintain his position within the pack, but he was even launching attacks on the leading car.
Su Mojin didn't react much at this moment. Perhaps she had grown accustomed to seeing Lin Yan overtake, so she didn't find the other driver particularly impressive. Could anyone be more impressive than her husband?
Tightening his brakes, the Chinese driver in car number 42 executed a late-braking turn, successfully throwing his car to the inside line and completing the overtake on the leader.
A small section of the audience erupted in cheers after the successful overtake. Lin Yan guessed they were likely his fans. The audience was sparse, with only about sixty thousand people, not even filling a quarter of the stands, making the venue feel somewhat empty.
After car 42's successful overtake, the original leader didn't give up. The two drivers continuously swapped positions on the track.
"This kid's dueling is very skilled."
Lin Yan observed that car 42's dueling was more proficient than Yan Xiaoqiang's. It was evident that he had participated in many races, honing his skills through practical experience. The two were locked in a back-and-forth battle.
Last time, Lin Yan had mentioned that Yan Xiaoqiang was sent in through the back door by him.
...
Zhang Ningyu returned to the pit room, changed his clothes, and sat in the lounge, lost in thought. His expression was dejected, as if contemplating his mistake in the final moments of the race.
If he hadn't made that mistake at the end, he might have had a chance to be scouted. Sitting on the chair, Zhang Ningyu's expression was complex.
A significant figure was scheduled to visit today, and he had just missed the opportunity to be noticed by that important person.
"Hmm? This kid seems to have decent luck, getting noticed by someone."
Arriving at the entrance of the pit room, Lin Yan suddenly noticed several Westerners in suits entering the adjacent pit room.
Although he didn't know the identities of these people, a glance at the sign on the pit room told Lin Yan why they were there.
This was the pit room of the first-place driver.
The first-place driver was a young Westerner with considerable skill, but Lin Yan wasn't particularly interested in him. His team only recruited Chinese individuals!
Even if he were to recruit foreigners, this first-place kid wouldn't qualify. When the LS27 team officially announced their participation in Moto3, they received emails from numerous current Moto3 drivers before the Spanish round even began, all expressing their desire to join his team.
Despite their positions at the back of the pack, LS27 was highly sought after by Moto3 drivers. Both "Lin Shen" and the Ducati factory team behind him were aspirational presences.
