"Forgotten, huh? I know you very well."

Dong Yuanxi turned slightly, a playful smile emerging on her face.

Looking at her bright eyes and gleaming teeth, even though Chen Xiangbei had been a driver for over a decade in two lifetimes, whose heart solely focused on his car and driving, he couldn't help but feel inexplicably stirred.

Sure enough, good looks represent justice!

While the two were conversing, as a sexy lady tossed her bra high up, Zhang Zhendong and Hoshino Yoshi simultaneously released the clutch and fueled up, shooting off at the start in two race-grade vehicles.

However, it was at this point that the difference in strength became apparent, with Hoshino Yoshi clearly faster, as the Honda NSX's body gradually surpassed the front of the Porsche 997, continuously squeezing to dominate the entry line into the corner.

One could say in terms of starting and fuel-clutch coordination, as well as race-line seizing tactics, nothing could be faulted with Hoshino's maneuvers, perfectly suppressing Zhang Zhendong.

This wasn't just a lead in driving skills but also a gap in experience!

To be fair, Zhang Zhendong was actually not weak; his CKC and Asian Renault championship achievements were unrivaled among his peers in China.

Moreover, he had participated in numerous underground races, earning the title of "Underground King of Cars" in the East Sea. In typical Formula One professional driver street races, even if they had slightly stronger raw power, they'd likely end up in trouble.

After all, Zhang Zhendong's foundation as a Formula One driver was very solid.

But unfortunately, he encountered Hoshino Yoshi!

Japan's professional racing system is much more brutal than China's, beginning the "refinement" process from the karting stage. Winning the F4 championship and being invited by the Honda Suzuka Racing School makes you undoubtedly a top one-in-a-hundred talent.

More importantly, Hoshino's street racing experience is as strong as his identity as a professional driver!

Concerning street race proficiency, Hoshino is far ahead of Zhang Zhendong.

This is why Chen Xiangbei dared to accept Zhang Zhendong's challenge.

From the very beginning, there was no way Hoshino would lose!

Sure enough, as they reached the T1 pond corner, thanks to his adept car pressing and line-seizing maneuvers, Hoshino easily pushed Zhang Zhendong behind.

It was visible with the naked eye; Hoshino was faster through the corners, with better line cutting!

In a way, Zhang Zhendong faced a situation similar to Chen Xiangbei, where the Australian Grand Prix, nominally a Chinese domestic race, is actually far less familiar to mainland drivers compared to those from Japan or even Europe.

The ARTA team is an old team battling on the East Ocean circuit. In terms of track data and corner line trajectories, Hoshino once again completely outclassed Zhang Zhendong.

In every aspect of timing, location, and people, none favored Zhang Zhendong, so how could he compete?

"Damn, this Japanese driver is so strong, feels like he's way ahead of Zhang Zhendong."

"Zhang Zhendong isn't some rookie, he won the Asian Renault championship at the end of last year and holds the title of mainland underground King of Cars, this gap is a bit exaggerated."

"Right, Zhang Zhendong, who transitioned from a professional Formula One driver to a touring car driver, could still be suppressed at the start?"

"This Japanese driver said Zhang Zhendong had to beat him to qualify to race against Chen Xiangbei, just how strong is Chen Xiangbei?"

"Both Renault champions, is there such a huge gap between the Asian Cup and European Cup?"

"Seems like Chen Xiangbei's strength is quite extraordinary!"

The Australian drivers on-site were already wide-eyed, staring incredulously at the scene before them.

Most were still underground racers, while Zhang Zhendong was someone they could still interact with, Chen Xiangbei seemed more like a legendary figure.

In their minds, they had a certain concept, knowing Chen Xiangbei could win the Renault championship in Europe and signed with the Brown GP team, which means he's very strong, but they had no concrete idea of how strong.

Instinctively, they felt Zhang Zhendong's achievements and skills should allow him to compete with Chen Xiangbei.

But now it seems, Zhang Zhendong might not be on the same level as Chen Xiangbei at all!

"Chen Xiangbei is awesome!"

A sudden shout rose from the crowd, catching Chen Xiangbei's attention.

He realized it was the young guy driving the Audi R8 who had previously called Dong Yuanxi "sister."

"Dong Yuanxi, is that your brother?"

With this curiosity, Chen Xiangbei pointed over and asked.

"Yes, he really likes racing."

"So you came with him today?"

Chen Xiangbei displayed an expression of sudden realization, no wonder Dong Yuanxi unexpectedly appeared at the East Bay Circuit.

"I'm here to prevent him from causing trouble."

Dong Yuanxi showed a helpless expression.

Thanks to her interest in Chen Xiangbei, she had more knowledge about racing compared to average girls.

Street racing and professional racing are fundamentally different.

The former is for showing off and picking up girls, the latter for challenging speed limits.

But to many young men, they can't tolerate the dullness of professionalism and prefer the indulgence and flattery of the streets.

Dong Yuanxi knew this well, which is why she came along, hoping her brother wouldn't get involved in street racing.

Unfortunately, she felt there were many things she couldn't stop; she could guard for a moment but not forever.

"By the way, he admires you a lot."

Dong Yuanxi added with a casual remark.

"Admire me?"

"He believes you will definitely become China's first official F1 driver!"

Saying this, Dong Yuanxi emphasized her tone, as she also believed the same.

Several minutes quickly passed, accompanied by the engine roaring from afar to near, two headlights appeared in everyone's sight, with the car leading undoubtedly being the Honda NSX driven by Hoshino Yoshi.
