Chapter 469: Chapter 468 What Just Happened!!
It was Rex and Maxi who jointly guaranteed that, by poaching Ben Franzi into their team, not only would their team’s fa surpass that of the Racing World team, but their club would also leap to beco the leading giant in the Racing World.
In addition, since Lu You had suffered such a serious accident and it seed impossible for him to make a coback, the boss and shareholders finally abandoned Lu You and the Racing World team, agreeing to spend a hefty sum to transfer Ben Franzi over.
So, this race also carried imnse pressure for Maxi and Rex.
If Ben Franzi couldn’t manage to secure first place with an outstanding performance, they wouldn’t be able to explain it to their superiors.
But now…
Seeing Ben Franzi leading by a wide margin on the race track, Maxi and Rex were both relieved.
Rex, smiling, said, “Seeing the Racing World team co to an end at the hands of the number one racer globally doesn’t really sha them.”
Hearing him say this, everyone laughed, except for the dozen or so drivers who had switched over from the Racing World team.
The forr team mbers watched the race intently, concerned.
Although they left the Racing World team for the sake of their future prospects, they couldn’t bring themselves to mock Lu You and his team as nonchalantly as the others did.
While watching, one of the drivers suddenly spoke up, “Hey, isn’t Captain Lu’s racing style a bit different from before?”
With that remark, everyone’s attention shifted to Lu You’s car.
In a flash, he appeared to change his usually languid style of racing and, like a cheetah awakening, he surged forward powerfully!
Within a second, he had closed almost fifty ters on Ben Franzi’s car!
And he was still rapidly closing the distance!
Maxi and Rex’s expressions abruptly changed!
What kind of racing was this from Lu You?!
Why had they never known about it before!!
No, the key question should be — could Lu You’s body really have recovered enough to withstand the rigors of a fierce race??
But… how could this be possible…
Maxi said, “It doesn’t matter. Ben Franzi is still more than five seconds ahead of Lu You, and the finish line is just ahead. As long as he crosses that…”
Before he could finish speaking, Lu You’s car accelerated again and faintly shook right behind Ben Franzi’s!
Before the spectators could react, Lu You had already overtaken Ben Franzi!
In an instant!
A deadly silence fell over the entire race track.
Whether it was the fans of Lu You or those of Ben Franzi, everyone was stunned by the speed that their eyes could barely follow, and they remained silent for a long ti.
Even the two comntators were stunned for a second before they burst out, screaming, “What just happened!! What just happened!! Please, director, slow down that playback by ten tis… no, twenty tis and replay it on the big screen! I can’t wait to know what Lu You just did!!”
The director responsible for the live broadcast also had considerable experience and promptly had the scene that happened in just one second replayed on the big screen.
After slowing it down twenty tis, everyone could finally see clearly the contest between Lu You and Ben Franzi!
Lu You was seen accelerating in one second, chasing right up behind Ben Franzi’s car, and Franzi reacted incredibly fast. The mont Lu You caught up, he adjusted the direction of his car, trying to block all of Lu You’s paths forward!
But just as he turned his car to the left, Lu You didn’t overtake from the anticipated right side but instead went directly from the left, his tires screeching against the stone barrier as he drifted past!
The turn, which should have made him lose speed and roll over, actually countered the deceleration due to the friction between the tires and the stone barrier!
Within the short span of a second, which most people couldn’t even react to, Lu You and Ben Franzi had already engaged in two or even more contests and ultimately, Lu You overtook Franzi!
