Chapter 65 Who Else But Me?
As soon as the commentator finished speaking, the backstage area was flooded with messages, and the two commentators exchanged glances.
Tom does think so, but saying it during the live broadcast of the game was just to create buzz and increase viewership.
"Let's get back to the game. Wu Shi is in the lead. He's cruised like a robot. It seems like Lennox has no chance." John steered the conversation away from the topic.
Just as John said, after taking the lead, Wu Shi was extremely focused, ensuring that every turn he entered and exited was within the fastest controllable range.
Rustling sound!
The first round of the competition ended with Wu Shi leading the pack.
"It seems you're going to win every championship, even in KZ2." Leclerc walked over. His first conversation with Wu Shi was at the 2010 Europa League.
Then he saw Wu Shi standing on the highest podium again, with Albon and Verstappen, his constant rival, beside him.
"Do your best and leave the rest to fate," Wu Shi replied.
"I'm planning to start racing go-karts next year, it's a pity we can't compete on the same track anymore." Leclerc said regretfully, but his face was full of smiles.
"There's nothing to regret. Maybe we'll be competing against each other in Formula One soon." Wu Shi thought to himself, Lock & Lock only entered F1 in 2018, which means it will be a full six years soon.
Leclerc, however, thought differently. He said, "Okay! We'll compete again when it comes to the Reynolds equation!"
The second round of the competition began quickly, and Wu Shi got back into the go-kart.
In one round of the race, Lennox finished second, so his starting grid position was moved up.
After several rounds of competition, Wu Shi had a general idea of the racing styles of the threatening drivers. He knew that Charlie, who had been squeezed to third place, would not be as reckless as Lennox had been before, so he only needed to defend against Lenrox.
The warm-up rounds are over, the competition begins.
Buzz!
Wu Shi took the lead, with Lennox close behind.
"Oh! It's an internal conflict within the CRG team, and Lennox is driving aggressively inside! No, the way he's driving is absolutely irresponsible! He's trying to throw himself inside!"
Will Wu Shi avoid it?
Avoid them? Avoid them my foot!
Wu Shi closed the gate directly, leaving only a racetrack space for Lennox.
Sure enough, this guy's control was terrible; he couldn't stop.
Bang!
The two go-karts got stuck together and instantly lost control, skidding and spinning in the bend, causing the drivers following behind to collide with each other, creating chaos.
Faced with this chaotic situation, the organizers decisively deployed the red flag.
Wu Shi got off the race car. This time, because he didn't sense the vehicle, he was only pulled during the collision and was not seriously injured.
He approached Lennox's go-kart, pulled up his visor, and said, "You despicable one, you'll never win a race."
After saying that, he turned around and went to push his go-kart.
"Are you alright?" Sid asked with concern.
"It's nothing," Wu Shi shook his head.
"Phew, it's good that you're alright." Sid was relieved.
"I'm going to withdraw from the competition," Wu Shi suddenly said.
"Huh? What's wrong?" Rosa asked hurriedly.
"I've discovered something very important." Wu Shi looked at the deformed frame of go-kart number 164.
"What's up?"
"Uncle Sid, I need to go to Sarno."
"What are you going over there for? To prepare for the next match? You don't need to give up on this one," Sid said.
"I suppose so," Wu Shi murmured, as if the collision had made him realize something.
Although I didn't fully perceive the key parts of go-kart number 164, I did get a general idea of them.
Because he doesn't pay much attention to these things when driving a race car now, he wasn't affected at all during the collision. It was as if the clutch had disengaged and the engine wasn't damaged no matter how the wheels turned.
'I must go to Sarno and give it a try.'
The team leader did not agree with Wu Shi's persistence. He believed that even if the vehicle could not be repaired today, a spare vehicle could be used for the competition tomorrow. Withdrawing from the competition directly did not conform to his philosophy.
Unfortunately, Wu Shi's contract terms were rather unreasonable, leaving the team leader with no choice but to approve them.
"Wu Shi has withdrawn from the competition," John said after the competition resumed.
"CRG couldn't possibly have not prepared a spare vehicle, could they? It seems I was right; their vehicle had a problem, which is why they won the championship," Tom exclaimed.
Wu Shi and Sid headed to Sarno and arrived at the CD SPEED team's base.
Upon returning to his familiar surroundings, Seth came out to greet him warmly and gave Wu Shi a big hug.
"Wow! Our genius is back, what a pleasant surprise!"
"Team Leader Seth, I'm sorry, I'm practicing every weekend, so it's really hard for me to have time to come and check on things," Wu Shi said politely.
"Hehe, it's okay, come whenever you want. You're in a crucial period right now; your performance in karting over the next two years will determine your future," Seth said.
"Wait a minute, aren't you in a competition?" one of the technicians asked, puzzled.
"Boss! You're here!" Ling Kang's voice came from the factory building at the back.
"Why are you making such a fuss?" Wu Shi said, speechless.
"Isn't this exciting? Hehe! Boss, you have no idea, everyone here is talking about you. This guy says you're the god of go-karting, that guy says you're possessed by Senna." Ling Kang clicked his tongue in amazement.
"That's just a compliment," Wu Shi waved his hand.
"Tch, what a show-off." Ling Kang raised his middle finger.
Wu Shi smiled; he felt a sense of warmth when communicating with his compatriots.
"Let's catch up later. Didn't you say you had something very important to do here?" Sid said.
"Yes, Team Leader Seth, do you still have the go-kart I used before?" Wu Shi asked.
"certainly."
The group arrived at the warehouse, where there was an area specifically for storing the go-karts and parts used by Wu Shi.
Even before meeting these old friends, Wu Shi's heart was already racing, as if he were being summoned by some force.
He went to the go-karts participating in the ACI Mini category and placed his hand on them.
call!
This subtle perception is like an embodiment of the body.
The structure of this car was far simpler than the vehicle he was driving now, so looking back, he realized that his perception at the time was far from adequate.
At this moment, he is able to perceive it more deeply.
He asked someone to help him get the car out of the car and sat down inside, but the seat was too small to accommodate his body.
However, all he wanted was this pose.
Perception.
Absolute perception.
Complete and absolute perception.
Wow!
The thought suddenly became clear, and the entire car became a part of him that transcended him.
Just as a person can perceive their whole body, but many perceptions and behaviors cannot be actively triggered, at this moment, he has a bit more control over the vehicle.
It is this control that allows him to choose to press the clutch.
Snap!
Wu Shi opened his eyes. The No. 398 go-kart was sitting there quietly, the rubber marks on its paint indicating that it had once won a championship.
"I see."
"What do you understand?" Ling Kang was completely baffled.
Sid slowly opened his eyes wide. He didn't know what Wu Shi had understood, but he felt that Wu Shi was exactly the same as he had been between 2008 and 2011.
If I had to describe this state, it would be: "If not me, then who?"
