Second Senior Brother

Chapter 382 Pendulum Turn

On the mountaintop, some cried out in surprise, while others watched the fleeting images in silence.

The images flashed by too quickly for many to get a clear look.

However, within this circle, there were no shortage of skilled drivers, and they still managed to discern much, their eyes reflecting intense shock.

As the footage continued to switch, someone couldn't help but ask, "He didn't seem to slow down for that turn?"

"After shaking off the Pagani, the distance between the pretty boy's car and the Koenigsegg and Porsche isn't as large as we thought!"

"The gap between them is no more than ten seconds, well within chasing range!"

"This pretty boy is far stronger than we imagined, no wonder he dared to speak so boastfully!"

"I have a feeling, if this guy had a different car, Han Shao and Bingying Jie might not have had such an easy time?"

"..."

The supercar circle is actually quite straightforward: it's about pure admiration for the strong.

Here, weakness means being ignored, becoming invisible, while possessing superior driving skills earns adoration.

Even though Chen Fan had previously insulted them all as trash, now, seeing him successively overtake Zheng Qingmo and Song Baihua, many began to change their opinion of him.

As long as one has the capital for arrogance, then arrogance is also seen as a character trait.

Thus, everyone stared intently at the switching screen.

It was already the tenth turn.

This turn, along with the ninth, was considered a hairpin turn, the most difficult point on the Yanping Mountain track.

Han Tong's car appeared first.

However, with the dazzling lights, Wei Bingying's Porsche 918 could be seen closely following, appearing almost stuck together on screen.

Both drivers were highly skilled. Although they slowed down for this turn, their speed still reached a hundred kilometers per hour.

As they turned, both cars naturally moved to the outside, leaving ample space to safely navigate the bend.

Everyone watched the screen, their eyes unblinking.

At this precise moment, a third set of headlights suddenly appeared on screen, rapidly closing the distance.

The Lamborghini Huracan, astonishingly, did not slow down.

Then they saw the Huracan cut sharply to the inside of the turn, forcefully squeezing its way in, trailing the 918 by only half a car length.

The two cars ahead had already completed their turns.

The Lamborghini Huracan began its turn as well.

"Is he trying to die?"

"Where is there space to overtake here?"

"Isn't he afraid of the car being wrecked and his life lost?"

"..."

Everyone's eyes widened, their expressions becoming tense.

Then they saw the Lamborghini's body tremble, but with a smooth speed, like a phantom, it rotated its body tightly alongside the 918.

It all happened in the blink of an eye, and the Lamborghini actually overtook the 918.

This wasn't the end. Immediately after, everyone saw the Lamborghini's body tilt, higher on the right and lower on the left.

Sparks seemed to fly from underneath the car, a phenomenon caused by high-speed friction.

The speed did not decrease, and under everyone's gaze, at that instant, the Lamborghini once again forcefully overtook Han Tong's Koenigsegg.

Many found their breathing quicken, their eyes filled with excitement.

"Is this... Hamilton's pendulum turn?"

Someone exclaimed in surprise.

Hamilton is the current king of racing, a recipient of numerous championship titles, and widely considered the strongest king of racing after Schumacher.

The so-called pendulum turn refers to using incredible control to constantly adjust the steering wheel to maintain the car's balance, navigating turns without decelerating or with very little deceleration.

The Lamborghini at this moment, overtaking two cars consecutively in this turn, judging by the stability of its body and the extent of its drift during the turn, was indeed employing the pendulum turn technique.

This technique sounds simple, but in practice, it is incredibly difficult.

In the entire world of racing, only Hamilton possesses such skill, which is why he is the current king of racing and the number one driver in the sport.

Now, this technique had appeared in Kyoto's supercar circle.

Furthermore, the skill displayed by Chen Fan was not limited to this; he also utilized the turn space to its absolute maximum. The right wheels were actually positioned at the innermost edge of the turn, causing one side of the car to be higher than the other.

This formidable technique, coupled with an almost incomprehensible level of control, was truly astonishing!

The three cars disappeared from view. As they exited the turn, the Lamborghini Huracan held a lead of half a car's length.

"He's overtaken..."

"The Lamborghini is in first place now!"

"This is simply god-like. In the face of such skill, we are indeed a bunch of trash!"

Observers with a passionate love for racing couldn't help but exclaim with emotion.

The footage switched.

Ten seconds later, at the next turn, the Lamborghini was the first to appear, followed by the remaining two cars.

As the Lamborghini Huracan passed, it completely occupied the center of the lane, blocking the cars behind it, and navigated the turn with ease.

"Before reaching Baiyun Avenue, Han Shao and Wei Bingying have no chance of overtaking!"

Professionals made their judgment.

The reality was indeed so. The mountain road had limited width, and after Chen Fan's overtake, he completely blocked the lane, leaving no opportunity.

Thus, after navigating the last remaining turn, the Lamborghini maintained its lead.

Of course, the two cars behind were also closely following, only a car length apart.

This continued until they reached Baiyun Avenue.

This avenue was a four-lane road, and the performance difference between the cars once again became evident.

Even though Chen Fan pushed his speed to the maximum, halfway through, he was caught up.

The Koenigsegg and the 918 successively overtook him from both sides.

"On the way up the mountain, the Lamborghini will have to overtake again to win!"

"Unfortunately, the car is still a notch below. Otherwise, Han Shao and Wei Bingying would likely have had no chance at all!"

"The performance gap will widen further on the way up the mountain. Can Chen Xing'er's boyfriend create another miracle?"

"..."

Many people's attitudes had changed; they were actually worrying about Chen Fan.

Of course, some still sided with Han Tong and Wei Bingying, believing that the performance gap between the cars was too significant for anything else to matter.

Not long after, the three cars appeared at the roundabout at the end of the track.

"He's about five seconds behind!"

Someone said, checking their watch.

Five seconds might not seem like much, but for supercars with speeds often exceeding three hundred kilometers per hour, this distance translates to three to four hundred meters.

The footage switched again, and when it reappeared, the person with the stopwatch said, "Three seconds. The gap has closed again. It must have been during the turn at the roundabout. This turning technique is simply heaven-defying!"

The three cars passed, with the Koenigsegg still leading.

As for Zheng Qingmo and Song Baihua, they had only just reached Baiyun Avenue, far behind.

Everyone stared at the screen, watching what could be called the peak showdown of Kyoto's supercar circle.

Some hoped Chen Fan would overtake and create a miracle.

Others still disliked Chen Fan, believing the outcome was predetermined, and he was merely struggling in vain.

The twelfth turn, the eleventh... the tenth.

The three cars were on their return journey and had once again arrived at the crucial hairpin turn.

Even those who disdained Chen Fan and were convinced of his inevitable defeat were glued to the screen.
