Chapter 288 Overconfident!
Takeuchi Shu continued, "It's useless for us to worry about this. It's totally unnecessary."
Koichiro Iketani shook his head. Although he was also worried, he was not as impatient as Takeuchi Itsuki. He knew that Fujiwara Takumi would definitely win this time. After all, they had all seen Fujiwara Takumi's astonishing racing skills.
"I'm not worried about Takumi, but I'm more worried about Keisuke Takahashi." Kenji mentioned, "I heard that Hero Minagawa is a professional racing driver, a legendary figure."
"That's right, Takahashi Keisuke is the most nervous one. We must not be careless against Minagawa Hideo." Iketani Koichiro said seriously, "Fujiwara Takumi can win the downhill race, what will be the result of this uphill race? Hojo, I want to hear your opinion."
At the SideWinder team on the Tsubaki Line in Kanagawa, Kubo Eiji sat on the steps, waiting for the showdown between Takahashi Keisuke and Minagawa Hideo, and turned to ask his teammate Hojo Go.
Hojo Go analyzed: "I have fought against Minagawa many times. Although I have more wins than losses, he is still a tough opponent. He is very confident. No matter who his opponent is, he firmly believes that he can win. This mentality allows him to stay highly relaxed during the game. Confidence and arrogance are two different things. Minagawa belongs to the former."
"As for Takahashi Keisuke, I've seen his videos. He's extremely fast, so fast that Minagawa can't predict it. Although not as fast as Fujiwara Takumi, he's also really fast, especially in throttle control. He's received professional training and is extremely skilled. This is a big reason why FD can always win."
Hojo Gou did not predict the outcome directly, but first analyzed both sides. "I see." Kubo Eiji nodded repeatedly, expressing his deep agreement. He also thought of Ryosuke behind him. It was hard to imagine that he would let his brother participate in such an important competition without any preparation. The opponent was a professional driver. In the past, Takahashi Ryosuke could always give advice to Takahashi Keisuke, but this time there seemed to be no detailed strategic guidance, at least today they did not see intensive discussions.
Hojo Go went on to say: "I feel the same way." Obviously, the two men's observations coincided, which was one of the reasons why they could work together in the same team and had an amazing tacit understanding in analyzing the situation.
"This will be a battle with an unpredictable outcome," Hojo Go asserted, "If Hideo Minagawa thinks he can win easily, he is wrong." Finally, when he was asked which side he was optimistic about, he couldn't help but hesitate... Keisuke Takahashi or Hideo Minagawa?
Kubo Eiji understood this very well.
He just wanted to hear which team Kubo Eiji thought would win.
After going around in circles, there is still no result.
This made Eiji Kubo feel a little troubled.
Hojo Go is a man who loves to analyze.
This time, he expressed all his views.
"And Mr. Hojo, I heard there's a story between you and the captain of Plan D."
Kubo Eiji looked at Hojo Go with a mysterious smile on his lips.
"Ryosuke and I don't actually have any special relationship."
Hojo Gou hurriedly explained.
"Hahahahaha."
Kubo Eiji burst out laughing.
He almost believed it.
"The one who is friendly with Ryosuke is my eldest brother."
Hojo Gou continued.
Seeing Kubo Eiji's face full of disbelief, he added another sentence.
"oh!?"
When he heard Hojo Go mention his elder brother, Kubo Eiji immediately put away his smile.
Instead, there was a look of utmost respect.
In this world of racing, strength is the best proof.
As long as you are strong enough,
Naturally, someone will admire you.
Earn the respect of others.
"The driver known as the Grim Reaper?"
Kubo Eiji said.
"Start in five seconds!"
At this moment, at the starting point at the foot of the mountain, Shi Hao was seriously doing the final countdown.
Hideo Minagawa and Keisuke Takahashi, each sitting in the cockpit, fully focused, the engine roaring, warming up and ready to go. Just waiting for the race command, the two cars will surely fly out like an arrow from a string under superb control. This start acceleration is like the starting gun of a sprinter. It is the most basic but crucial starting strategy and also a means of self-protection - a quick start can seize the initiative under the premise of safety; if the start is slow, it is easy to feel frustrated psychologically, feeling that you have been left behind by your opponent.
Starting a race is actually a dual competition of psychology and skills.
Of course, those with strong psychological qualities will not be affected by the speed of the start.
The most important thing is the performance during the race.
As long as you can maintain absolute speed during the competition, victory will be easy to come by, right?
"five!"
"Four!"
"three!"
"two!"
"one!"
Shi Hao announced loudly that both sides were ready to go.
Keisuke Takahashi's FD and Hideo Minagawa's Toyota Supra RZ did not start side by side because they adopted a chase system. Keisuke Takahashi started in the lead, so his car was in front of the Z80.
"GO!"
Following Shi Hao's final order,
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Two cars rushed out suddenly.
Takahashi Keisuke in FD looked calm, but there was still a hint of nervousness between his brows. This competition was of great significance to him, and he had been preparing for this moment for a long time. Victory was not only a challenge to Fujiwara Takumi's undefeated myth, but also a matter of honor and disgrace for Plan D.
Besides, Hideo Minagawa is a professional racing driver and a legend on the track.
By defeating Minagawa, Takahashi Keisuke will be able to prove himself, not only showing everyone his strength as a professional racing driver, but also establishing his position in the professional racing circle. Minagawa Hero is extraordinary and often wins championships in professional competitions.
"squeak!"
FD brakes hard and drifts on a straight road.
The car body rotated sharply.
Each time you drift, you need to control the steering wheel, adjust the angle, and adjust the throttle accurately, otherwise you will lose control and roll over. Drifting tests your talent and the ability to stay calm under extreme conditions. Any small mistake can lead to tragic consequences.
Even fell off a cliff.
"Little tricks!"
"Squeak!"
Hero Minagawa followed closely behind, and facing Takahashi's drift, a scornful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. In his eyes, such skills were not worth mentioning at all, and he was not afraid at all.
Under the strong, everything seems illusory.
Keisuke Takahashi and Hideo Minagawa are full of confidence. Their past victories have made them firmly believe that they can add another victory.
“Is it an inexplicable anxiety, or a vague sense of cruelty?”
"Takahashi Keisuke, I have the urge to defeat you completely."
Hideo Minagawa sat in the silver-gray Z80, following the yellow FD. He looked calm on the surface, but suddenly revealed a sly smile.
At this time, Takahashi Keisuke had no idea what Minakawa was thinking.
He was completely absorbed in the game.
At the foot of the mountain, Fujiwara Takumi, Takahashi Ryosuke, Shihao, Kenta, Miyaguchi Matsumoto Shuichi and others were waiting for good news.
