Chapter 52 Fast and Furious

Zhou Mengyao herself was surprised that she would choose to trust Lin Lang unconditionally and gamble her career as a professional racing driver for it.

If Zhou Mengyao, in the Asian Women's Motorcycle Championship, listened to Lin Lang and used rain tires to compete on the dry track, and lost the race because it didn't rain, she would become a laughing stock in the motorcycle racing world.

When racing on a dry track with rain tires, the friction increases and the vehicle speed decreases by at least 5%, which is a nightmare for professional racing drivers who want to win the championship.

If there is no torrential rain during the competition, it means that the championship will be handed over to others, and even the top ten will not be ranked.

Rain tires are structurally different from dry tires, with a softer compound used on the surface of the tire.

Rain tires have more grooves on their surface.

These grooves drain water away from the tire surface.

Rain tires can also drain water between the track surfaces.

Not to mention in the case of heavy rain.

Even in heavy rain, a motorcycle racing car using dry tires (also called slick tires) does not have enough grip. When turning without slowing down, the probability of skidding and falling will be much greater.

To put it simply, slick tires have no drainage grooves, so they are fast on a dry track, but they are prone to slipping and falling when turning or braking in the rain.

Although there have been precedents in the international racing world where well-known male racing drivers have become legendary after racing on slick tires in rainy conditions, these scenes are few and far between.

Rain tires are divided into semi-rain tires and full rain tires.

Semi-rain tires may be suitable for racing when it is not raining, but Zhou Mengyao's Suzuki racing motorcycle is equipped with full-rain tires with an astonishing displacement.

If there is a heavy rainstorm during the competition, Zhou Mengyao's chances of winning the championship will double when she is riding a Suzuki motorcycle with all rain tires.

1 minute and 05 seconds before the race officially started, Zhou Mengyao's team technicians, with super professional teamwork, adjusted Zhou Mengyao's Suzuki motorcycle to an invincible state for rain battles.

"Ness!"

Zhou Mengyao, wearing a cool racing suit and a professional racing helmet, rode on the Suzuki Suzuki in the rain, and twisted the accelerator twice in a heroic manner, sending out an exciting motorcycle sound.

"Om..."

"Buzz..."

The members of Mengyao's team shouted in unison: "Come on, Boss! Win the championship! Win the championship! Win the championship!"

"OK!" The sweet and cool motorcycle goddess Zhou Mengyao raised two fingers of her right hand to salute the technical members of the team.

Then, under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Zhou Mengyao casually took off the goggles of her helmet, rode her Suzuki bike with rain tires to the fourth starting position, and was ready for the official competition.

The female racers from various Asian countries on the track were all shocked by Zhou Mengyao's amazing performance.

"What?!"

"Using rain tires to race on a sunny day, are the female racers from Xia country crazy?"

"Oh my god!"

"There's no rain in the weather forecast, but the female racer from Xia Country is using rain tires to race on a dry track. Doesn't she want to win?"

The Singaporean female racer thought to herself after watching it, "Zhou Mengyao is from Hainan. Is she crazy?"

Among all the top Asian female racers participating in the race, only Zhou Mengyao's Suzuki used rain tires and the racing mode was also rain battle mode, which stunned the female racers from various Asian countries.

The commentator at the race also clearly saw from the big screen in the stadium that Zhou Mengyao's Suzuki was using rain tires, because the cameraman who was broadcasting the race live gave a close-up.

The male commentator exclaimed in amazement: “Oh my God!”

"I couldn't believe my eyes. Xia country's contestant Zhou Mengyao actually changed her Suzuki racing car to full rain tires on a sunny day. Is it going to rain heavily during the race today?"

The female commentator replied in astonishment: "The weather forecast says there will be no rain in Hai City today!"

"It's a clear blue sky right now at the competition site, and the competition will start in less than a minute. How could it possibly rain heavily?"

The male commentator said puzzledly: "Could it be that Zhou Mengyao's team made a serious mistake and changed the wrong tires before the race?"

The female commentator responded: "Absolutely impossible!"

"In such a major event, it is impossible for the staff of Zhou Mengyao's team to make such a low-level mistake."

Tens of thousands of spectators at the scene were shocked to hear that Zhou Mengyao was racing on rain tires on a sunny day.

"Oh..."

There was an uproar in the huge open-air stadium, and the audience began to talk about it in shock.

"Isn't it?"

"What kind of amazing operation is this by Zhou Mengyao?"

"It's a sunny day with no clouds in the sky today. The game is about to start. How could it rain?"

"Yes!"

"I was expecting the motorcycle goddess Zhou Mengyao to win! It's impossible for her to win the rain tire dry land competition."

"The Asian Women's Motorcycle Championship in the sea is the home turf of motorcycle goddess Zhou Mengyao!"

"Half of the audience in the stadium are local people from Longhai. They came to support Zhou Mengyao, not to watch her lose the game because she used rain tires on dry land."

"That's right!"

"The female racer Asano Monet, who is ranked first in Asia, is already very strong. Even if Zhou Mengyao uses slick tires, she is not sure of winning, let alone using rain tires and racing on a dry track."

"It seems like Zhou Mengyao is likely to lose today's match!"

"It's true that weird things happen every year, but this year there are especially many."

"Didn't Zhou Mengyao say in an interview with a motorcycle magazine that she wanted to beat the female racers in the daily life? Why did she use rain tires to race on a sunny day and deliberately let the tires run to lose?!"

"Ah~"

"Who knows what evil has befallen Zhou Mengyao..."

The eyes of tens of thousands of spectators were all focused on the track.

The female motorcyclists participating in the competition from various Asian countries are all ready. They stare at the track ahead, ride their racing bikes and step on the accelerator, feeling as if no one else can do it but them and their blood is racing.

Rows of dazzling motorcycle racing cars are neatly arranged, and on each motorcycle sits a cool female racer wearing a tight racing suit. They come from various Asian countries and have different skin colors, but they all have the same desire to win.

The starting gun sounded.

Female racers from various Asian countries stepped on the accelerator almost at the same time. The roaring sound of the engines was like the sound of war drums, stirring the hearts of every audience member.

"Om..."

"Buzzing..."

The sweet and cool motorcycle goddess Zhou Mengyao, riding a Suzuki motorcycle with rain tires, rushed out in an instant like a cannonball.

"Om..."

The other female racers also looked heroic while speeding, controlling their flat-legged motorcycles with superb skills. Every turn and every acceleration showed the female racers' extremely high professional competitive level.

The motorcycle goddess Zhou Mengyao was seen driving the Suzuki chariot calmly, weaving in and out of the dense traffic, flexibly overtaking one racing car after another, with extremely skillful and exquisite driving skills.

The wind whistled in Zhou Mengyao's ears.

The buzzing sounds of dozens of racing cars intertwined together, causing Zhou Mengyao's adrenaline to surge. Her eyes remained firm as she stared straight ahead.

Every acceleration and every turn of Zhou Mengyao was so perfect, like a moving picture scroll, showing the tenacity and bravery of the female racing driver.

At this moment, Zhou Mengyao was focused and only wanted to win. There was only one thought in her mind, and that was to win the championship.

What is the speed and passion of TM?

This is called speed and passion!

Zhou Mengyao is not only a professional female racing driver, but also a female warrior who challenges herself and pursues ultimate speed.

Every turn and every pass is poetic and picturesque.

Zhou Mengyao's incredibly graceful figure riding on the Suzuki chariot made the audience unable to take their eyes off her. She looked like a flower blooming at a very fast speed, and she looked so cool.

Tens of thousands of spectators followed Zhou Mengyao's figure with their eyes. Everyone was filled with anticipation and nervousness. That kind of adrenaline rush can only be obtained by watching a motorcycle race live.

The fans and audiences at the scene were all sweating for Zhou Mengyao.

Although Zhou Mengyao's racing skills are very strong, the weakness of rain tires in dry track racing soon became apparent.

No matter how Zhou Mengyao twisted the accelerator to accelerate, and tilted the car perfectly to turn an S-curve, she was always ranked around tenth place, and could not catch up with the top female racers in front of her who were using slick tires.

The race had just begun, and Zhou Mengyao, the top-ranked female racer in Xia country, was already at a disadvantage in the Asian competition.

Those patriotic audience members who supported Zhou Mengyao out of a sense of national honor all frowned and clenched their fists, secretly cheering for the motorcycle goddess Zhou Mengyao in their hearts.

The male commentator said: "The person who has been leading the race is Monet Asano, who rides a Honda motorcycle. She is from the Japanese nationality and is the top-ranked female racer in Asia."

The female commentator said: "Currently ranked second is Kim Jin-na, who rides a Yamaha motorcycle. She is from South Korea and is the third-ranked female racer in Asia."

"The third person currently on the list is Sheikh Nadi, who rides a Kawasaki motorcycle. She is from faraway Qatar and is the second-ranked female racer in Asia."

The male commentator continued: "Asia's fourth-ranked female racer, Vindiya, missed the event due to injury."

"Xia Guo's Zhou Mengyao, who is ranked fifth in Asia, is currently ranked 12th. It seems that she used rain tires and was not able to show her true level in this race on a dry track."

The female commentator said: "Rain tires on a dry track will significantly reduce the speed due to increased friction. Zhou Mengyao's speed has not been able to increase, and it is too difficult for her to overtake on the curve."

The male commentator at the scene said: "Originally, Zhou Mengyao played at home in Haikou, and she had a chance to win the championship in this competition, or at least make it into the top three."

"If Zhou Mengyao races at the current speed with rain tires on sunny days, I'm afraid she won't even be able to maintain her top ten ranking."
