Only Qin Lianjie insisted on staying, not because he was interested in track data analysis, but more out of curiosity about the professional "training" of the team and drivers.

Today he realized, never take your hobby to challenge someone else's profession.

Just these few hours of dull "learning," not many young people can endure.

As time ticked away, Qin Lianjie, sitting in a chair with sleepy eyes, felt someone tap his shoulder. He quickly opened his eyes and sat up straight, much like a student caught napping by the teacher in class.

"Go to your room to rest, you're drooling in your sleep."

Chen Xiangbei laughed and reminded him, having been engrossed in discussion with Sawano Hiroyuki and Mizutani Sho, he had forgotten there was a Qin Lianjie sitting in the conference room.

"Are you done?"

"No, it's too late, we'll continue tomorrow. Twenty-two major turns, nearly a hundred different lines, hundreds of little details, it's not so simple to figure it all out."

"Indeed."

Qin Lianjie nodded solemnly. He was rather drowsy in front anyway.

After saying this, Qin Lianjie took out his phone for a look; the time was approaching midnight.

"Alright then, let's rest, see you tomorrow."

Standing up to stretch his stiff body, Qin Lianjie headed towards the hotel room.

In the following days, Chen Xiangbei basically never left the hotel's doors, either doing physical training in the gym or conducting track data analysis with strategy team members in the conference hall.

To meet Odetto's "zero error" standard, he extended his training duration to an impressive twelve hours, which certainly broadened Qin Lianjie's horizons.

He knew Chen Xiangbei was hardworking but didn't expect him to push himself this hard.

No wonder Chen Xiangbei was able to win two consecutive Renault Formula championships and secure a test driver contract with Brawn GP Team.

To achieve results, talent can only define your upper limit; effort is the foundation of your lower limit.

Many people use talent as an excuse, yet are unaware of their low level of effort, never even touching the ceiling of their potential. Conversely, breaking the lower limit is relatively much easier.

Chen Xiangbei's current performance is the stuff of legend — surpassing you in talent while also working harder. Truly, it leaves you only with the ability to look up in awe!

Monday, April 6th, four days left until the Grand Prix practice race.

As night fell with stars scattered across the sky, Chen Xiangbei and Qin Lianjie got into the Volkswagen R36, ready to head to East Ocean Circuit for a test run.

No matter how much they talk on paper, it's merely theoretical data. Only through actual combat can correctness be verified!

In a sense, this is also Chen Xiangbei's "local" driver advantage. True foreign drivers can't even perform such pre-race "private tests"; they can only arrive in Australia with the team and use thirty minutes of practice time to familiarize themselves with East Ocean Circuit.

However, on the other hand, those true foreign drivers receive team resources and technical support far beyond what Chen Xiangbei currently accesses.

Take Toyota's TOM's team as an example. They have been rooted in Asian races for many years, particularly engaging in targeted training for East Ocean Circuit.

History has seen them win four Grand Prix F3 championships. Nominally non-"local" foreign teams, they are actually far more familiar than mainlanders like Chen Xiangbei, with Kokumoto Keiyo and Motana being the real local experts.

"Xiangbei, have you memorized all the thick data stack Odetto gave you?"

Only at this moment did Qin Lianjie finally find the chance to ask, as over the past few days, Chen Xiangbei was so busy that he felt embarrassed to disturb him.

"Hmm, more or less."

"You're amazing!"

Qin Lianjie praised sincerely, knowing that he couldn't memorize it himself.

"Not too bad, it's basic work."

Upon hearing Chen Xiangbei's response, if it were someone else, Qin Lianjie would definitely think the kid was showing off.

But witnessing it these days himself, it truly was Chen Xiangbei's basic work!

Australia's small size has its advantages. Very quickly, Chen Xiangbei drove the R36 to the starting point of East Ocean Circuit at the racetrack building.

Once the official race begins, this building will serve as the repair pit.

Compared to the previous days when everything was still under construction, tonight revisiting the street modification project was nearly complete.

The isolation barriers along the road had been installed, road conditions were smoothed out, and in many places you could see traces of new asphalt. Even the manhole covers on the street were welded and firmly fixed again, preventing them from shaking loose when race cars speed through.

Currently, empty cars are fine, but in the future when F1 enters the ground effect car era, several street circuit races have seen high-speed cars pass by, causing a suction effect that forcibly sucked out welded covers.

Take the 2023 Las Vegas Grand Prix, for example, where Ferrari Team's Sainz passed by a manhole cover, and the suction-driven cover directly pierced the car body and the monocoque of the cockpit, even allowing a view from above of the road below!

If Sainz had a bit less luck, the result could have been a catastrophic crash.

"Are you ready to start?"

As Qin Lianjie spoke, his right hand was already gripping the door handle tightly.

Seeing this action, Chen Xiangbei couldn't help but chuckle.

"I'm not street racing, no need to be so tense, just driving casually."

Though nearing midnight, there weren't many pedestrians or vehicles on East Ocean Circuit, yet the track hadn't reached the closed stage for the race. Chen Xiangbei didn't want to speed and cause trouble.
