Rebirth of the Rich Second Generation's Growth Diary

Chapter 82 The so-called talent

Lu Zhuofeng looked at Li Xu and Chen Feiyang with some anticipation.

He had modified this car for a club boss, and it hadn't been delivered yet, so there was nothing wrong with him coming here to road test it...

After all, the boss has very high requirements, so he upgraded the shock absorber. After the modification, he naturally has to test it on the road and further debug it.

These clubs are just for fun and are far from real professional racing.

Basically, a few big guys in the club organized the club members to go to a certain venue to run a practice race and record the lap times and so on.

Of course, there are naturally some drivers with relatively high levels, perhaps those who have retired from the professional arena.

When Li Xu played racing in his previous life, he was naturally not a professional driver, but among ordinary amateur players, his level was already very good.

In my previous life, I gave up speed racing and turned to off-road racing. If I had persisted at that time, I might have reached the threshold of the professional level.

Li Xu was not very interested in the Subaru Impreza in front of him. In his previous life, he had driven a car with better performance and faster speed at a speed close to its limit.

The excitement that should have been experienced is not a big deal... For him, it would be more fun to buy a better off-road vehicle and take some pretty girls to go camping in the wild in this life.

Besides, the back seat of this modified Subaru Impreza was extremely uncomfortable to sit in, so Li Xu politely declined and let Chen Feiyang experience it instead.

Lu Zhuofeng asked Chen Feiyang to sit in the passenger seat and fastened his five-point safety belt. He opened the car window and said to Li Xu, "Okay, I'll take Feiyang for a couple of laps first, and then I'll take your turn."

Li Xu wanted to say, there’s no need to change mine.

However, Lu Zhuofeng had already rolled up the car window at this time, and then he heard a rhythmic roar from the exhaust pipe. The car kicked up the dust on the ground and drove towards the open space not far away.

This area is a rare enclosed venue with a large flattened open space and no hardened land. Because of this, the dust that is quickly raised adds to the speed and passion.

Li Xu chose a position with a better view and looked at the Subaru painted in passionate red.

Lu Zhuofeng was seen controlling the car, constantly accelerating, decelerating and turning on the open space, with the roar accompanied by flying dust.

But how to say it, Li Xu could see at a glance that Lu Zhuofeng's skills... were too poor.

Although he didn't go on the track, it can be seen from his acceleration and deceleration, a few turns, and attempts at drifting that the car's excellent performance was wasted.

The car was driving around in the open space for a while. At this time, many people had gathered around, looking at the car and talking about it.

Naturally, most people here know cars, and this classic performance car is the white moonlight of many men.

Not long after, Lu Zhuofeng stopped the car, and then did something that surprised Li Xu...

Chen Feiyang, who was sitting in the passenger seat, got out of the car and moved to the driver's seat.

Li Xu subconsciously looked left and right, and confirmed that there were no obvious obstacles nearby, then he breathed a sigh of relief.

But he was indeed overthinking...

At this time, Chen Feiyang had difficulty even driving a go-kart, so it was indeed a bit difficult for him to get in touch with a manual transmission performance car like Subaru.

The car roared, stalled and shook several times before it started running slowly.

But it was obvious that after running for a while, the car body shook violently... It was obvious that Chen Feiyang did not step on the accelerator and clutch properly when changing gears.

Li Xu sighed slightly.

After turning around several times, the car slowly drove over and stopped in front of him. Chen Feiyang lowered the window, took off his sunglasses, and said to Li Xu with an excited expression: "Did you see it? Did you see it?"

Li Xu smiled and said, "I see, I see, it's amazing, amazing."

Lu Zhuofeng, who was sitting in the passenger seat, looked at Li Xu and said, "Come and experience it yourself."

Li Xu shook his head: "I'll just forget it..."

Chen Feiyang got out of the car, his confidence swelled to the extreme at this moment.

This was his first time trying to drive a real manual transmission car. Just now, under Lu Zhuofeng's guidance, he only failed four or five times before he successfully started the car. He also learned how to shift gears and now dares to drive here in third gear!

The depression I had felt because I couldn't drive the karting well was completely swept away.

In addition, Lu Zhuofeng kept praising him for his talent, so Chen Feiyang felt that he was indeed talented.

"Brother, I am still quite talented."

Chen Feiyang shook his head and said to Li Xu solemnly, "I feel like I've been on the wrong path for so long... This kind of life is right for me."

Seeing Chen Feiyang's words becoming more and more outrageous, Li Xu smiled dumbly: "Don't overthink it, you can't drive a racing car." "Brother, I really have talent. I've seen my mom drive a manual transmission car. It took her two weeks to learn how to start a manual transmission, but I learned it in just a short time. Isn't that talent? You can't be jealous of me..."

"Ah……"

"It's true that I'm not as good as you at driving a go-kart, but this real car is different from a go-kart... coordination is also very important... I learned to start with a manual transmission in one go, and this is the evidence..." Chen Feiyang explained to Li Xu seriously.

Li Xu's expression gradually became serious, and the smile on his face gradually faded. He walked to the side of the car. Lu Zhuofeng inside was still looking at him with a smile on his face.

Li Xu ducked in and slowly fastened his seatbelt. He tilted his head slightly, glanced at Chen Feiyang, and said seriously, "You may have some talent, but brother, you have to study hard with me and stop thinking about these trivial things."

Then, he closed the door with a bang.

Lu Zhuofeng glanced at Li Xu with some surprise, because he saw that Li Xu had already started adjusting the seat and rearview mirror on his own. After a moment of confusion, he subconsciously said: "The clutch is..."

Li Xu turned his head and glanced at Lu Zhuofeng: "Fasten your seat belts and sit tight."

"Uh?"

Li Xu touched the steering wheel, his thoughts seemed to return to his previous life...

There was a period of time when he was obsessed with studying racing. He practiced the starting sprint thousands of times and even damaged an expensive new car.

I stepped on the clutch with my left foot to the bottom, then stepped on the accelerator with my right foot. The engine roared and the performance of this Subaru was instantly reflected... The speed suddenly exceeded two thousand.

Lu Zhuofeng widened his eyes and was stunned for a moment: "I can't..."

No way, open your eyes and watch how the car starts!
Li Xu's eyes were sharp, and his body was fully immersed in it, feeling every detail of this machine...

That’s the critical point!
The left foot was suddenly lifted up, the power transmission was instantly coupled, and the tires were almost at the limit of friction, instantly bursting out torque to grip the ground and kicking up clouds of dust.

"Fuck, launch!"

"This is a very experienced start!"

People around can naturally see the trick. Unlike civilian cars, the start of a racing car requires a launch, but the launch does not mean that the speed should be as high as possible. Excessive speed will cause the tires to spin. The perfect launch is to grasp the critical point between power output and grip.

The operation of launch start is simple, but it is very difficult to grasp the limits of power output and friction, which is also where the level of a racing driver is measured.

And the Barus in front of us has almost achieved a perfect ejection!
Lu Zhuofeng was pressed into the seat by inertia, his eyes widened, and he subconsciously grabbed the armrest: "This..."

Li Xu did not release his foot on the accelerator, the tachometer quickly soared and then fell, soared and then fell, and his right hand quickly changed gears at the moment the machine gear reached the critical point.

The car speed increased without any pause, and the roar of the accelerator turned into a beautiful rhythmic sound.

In that brief moment, the limits of the gearbox and engine were almost reached. Lu Zhuofeng's mind was blank, but even though his thoughts were at a standstill, he realized how terrifying Li Xu next to him was.

He has practiced, he has definitely practiced!
Even the real owner of this car is not that powerful.

Li Xu exploited the performance of the car wantonly, including low-speed corners, high-speed corners, actual control of the throttle after exiting the corners, half-clutch downshifting, and various advanced operations that had been honed over a thousand times, leaving many people at the scene stunned.

They remembered that the person who had just sat in the driver's seat was clearly a man who looked like a teenager.

Chen Feiyang opened his mouth slightly, so shocked that he couldn't say a word.

In the final acceleration, Li Xu ended with a drift that was meaningless in racing but looked very cool. Then he looked at Lu Zhuofeng who was stunned beside him, smiled, turned the steering wheel to the full, and drove back to where he had just started.

The car stopped steadily in front of Chen Feiyang with an extreme braking technique that only a racing driver could use.

Lu Zhuofeng in the car was pulled by the huge inertia, and at this moment he looked at Li Xu as if he was looking at a monster.

He knew very well that just this braking skill would take him several months to learn.

"When... did you learn this?" Lu Zhuofeng couldn't help but ask as he looked at Li Xu, who was unbuckling his seat belt with a calm expression on his face.

Li Xu smiled and opened the car door: "Secret."

This kind of thing is not easy to explain... But after all, I am a rich second-generation, so I can just tell him a secret and let him guess what comes next. I believe he will be able to explain it himself.

Li Xu got out of the car and patted Chen Feiyang on the shoulder with a smile: "Do you still think you have talent?"

"Brother...you..."

"People like me are not considered talented." Li Xu said lightly.
