Inside the Flying Racing Car, Zhang Chunqiu, who was controlling Jun Wangchen's body, kept one hand on the steering wheel and the other on the gearshift, constantly changing gears.
He had never touched the handbrake, because in Zhang Chunqiu's eyes, an expert had no need for it.
Whenever he encountered a particularly sharp turn, he would transfer most of the weight on the Flying Racing Car's rear wheels to the front, creating a difference in speed between them that kept the car fast without sending it flying off the track.
Soon, the Flying Racing Car reached the Compound Turn.
Some turns were so close together that the racing line through the first fed directly into the entry line for the second, allowing a driver to take both turns along a single line. This was known as a Compound Turn.
Since both turns had to be taken in one go, the driver had to consider and calculate them together. The key was finding a line that would carry the car smoothly through both.
As the saying went, minding the head meant forgetting the tail. This was the mistake drivers most easily made on a Compound Turn: failing to recognize that the two turns were linked and thinking they could take one first, then deal with the other.
Only by recognizing a Compound Turn that could be negotiated along a single curve could a driver exit it faster.
For Zhang Chunqiu, who controlled Jun Wangchen's body, this posed no difficulty whatsoever. He pulled the handbrake before turning the wheel on the straight, pulled it again during the turn, then slammed on the brakes and turned the wheel, making the rear wheels rotate slower than the car's speed over the ground.
Whoosh!
