Finals!

On the final day of National Day, the GD Racing Tournament also welcomed its ultimate final.

Eight racers took their positions, and the starting phase was already fraught with hidden dangers!

Liu Wu's car took the initiative to attack, and Zhou Yan, the only one who had replaced a seed player's position, had a rough start due to the collision.

After all, Zhou Yan had eliminated Liu Wen to enter the finals, and their conflict was well within everyone's expectations.

Moreover, Liu Wu came prepared.

The flames failed to fully ignite Liu Wu's car; the same Fireproof Coating greatly diminished Zhou Yan's tactics.

Unsurprisingly, the two naturally ended up as the last two, and once Liu Wu confirmed the flames hadn't caused fatal damage to his car, he began to repeat his old trick, hitching a ride on this tailwind.

Zhou Yan's car battery consumption began to accelerate, and the proximity of the two cars also intensified the fire, but at least before the Five Consecutive Hairpin Turns, their chances of catching up to the cars ahead were slim.

Compared to the 'cooperation' at the back, the leading pack was a true dragon-and-tiger struggle.

Among the five cars, Wang Bowen, who excelled at corners, was actually in the lead.

He was the only one who dared to accelerate recklessly; the other drivers all showed some restraint when facing the Five Consecutive Hairpin Turns.

Wang Bowen had already struggled to win in the semifinals, but fortunately, he managed to complete the full course, and he understood even more clearly where his strengths lay.

After all, everyone had to change tires after the Five Consecutive Hairpin Turns, so why not seize the opportunity to charge ahead as early as possible?

At worst, he'd waste a bit more battery and just change everything together!

Following closely behind were Qi Tian, Zhou Chi, A Lie, and Qian Lai, in that order.

Qian Lai actually wanted to tail Qi Tian, but his car was on the far edge, and before he could follow, the distance had already widened.

Drafting had its distance limits, so he had no choice but to reluctantly pick the nearest car, A Lie's.

The only one left alone, Luo Dani, wasn't in a hurry. She played it steady, and even when Zhou Yan and Liu Wu caught up, she actively gave way.

Once the first difficult section of the Five Consecutive Hairpin Turns was passed, the eight cars were roughly divided into three echelons.

The first echelon consisted of only Wang Bowen and Zhou Chi.

Wang Bowen's strategy was indeed very successful. With his excellent cornering skills and a charge that ignored battery consumption.

Except for Zhou Chi, who could scale walls and leap over roofs, everyone else was left behind by at least one hairpin turn.

Zhou Chi simply didn't need to change tires, which temporarily secured him second place.

The second echelon was the trio of Qi Tian, A Lie, and Qian Lai.

Compared to the first echelon's display of individual prowess, the three, who still had one last hairpin turn before exiting the corner, were clearly in a more intense competition.

"Tiantian! Get ready to take this!"

On the track, there was no such thing as respecting the old or cherishing the young. A Lie gave a warning, lowered his car's center of gravity, and began to accelerate!

However, Qi Tian showed no intention of backing off. Instead, he even glanced at A Lie with a grin.

"There's a trick!"

A Lie had raced against Qi Tian too many times!

Although the kid seemed naive, every time he looked over with that grin, he was definitely plotting something nasty!

The race had just begun; there was no need to probe others on this kind of terrain.

"Tiantian, that little brat, is definitely waiting to ambush me! We're not taking this bait; let's hold back for now!"

A Lie didn't forget his livestream, briefly explained, and decisively slowed down!

But as A Lie suddenly dropped his speed, Qian Lai, who was drafting behind him, didn't decelerate in time and rear-ended him straight on.

This was the first time Qian Lai had messed up while drafting. The rear-end collision in the hairpin turn sent his car flying off the track.

Not only did it waste time, but he was quickly overtaken by the third echelon.

The cars of Liu Wu, Zhou Yan, and Luo Dani passed through in an orderly fashion.

Unlike the cooperation between the two brothers, Liu Wu couldn't hitch a ride in the corners, which gave Zhou Yan an opportunity to turn the tables.

The moment they exited the corner, Zhou Yan's car accelerated and rammed into him.

In the end, Zhou Yan hadn't specifically studied fireproof materials. This collision directly broke the car shell lock on Liu Wu's car, causing the entire vehicle to shatter instantly.

The Fireproof Coating's effect greatly reduced the flame damage, but after prolonged scorching, some areas the coating couldn't cover had inevitably suffered some damage.

Zhou Yan's rear-end collision accelerated this process, directly causing Liu Wu's car to disintegrate prematurely.

At the same time, due to the collision, Luo Dani smoothly passed both of them.

"Remember to find the chip first." Zhou Yan sneered coldly, unhurriedly replacing parts.

"You bastard!" Liu Wu was stunned for a moment, then rage surged within him.

"Racer Liu Wu! Watch the chip!" Zhou Shuya noticed the situation, her Flying Broom quickly moved into position, giving a timely reminder.

If your car is destroyed and you then hit someone, what good would come of it?

The chip gets burned, and you get penalized for fighting—is it worth it?

"Racer Zhou Yan! You are not allowed to provoke other racers!"

"Of course, of course!" He shot a contemptuous glance at Liu Wu, but clearly, Liu Wu was already too busy salvaging the chip to pay him any attention.

Liu Wu—eliminated!

Soon, the two leading cars were the first to enter a new track—an asphalt road encircling Baishi Mountain.

No fancy terrain, just a rising slope around Baishi Mountain, with the surface made of asphalt.

Tire wear intensified drastically, and the lengthy road offered no suitable opportunities to ride the walls. There were no shortcuts on this stretch.

Qi Tian and A Lie began to push hard on this section as well; speed-type racers loved this kind of straightforward track.

As for Wang Bowen, his stamina ultimately fell short, and he could only watch helplessly as the two gradually closed the gap on his early lead.

Whoosh!

The cars sped past like the wind on the asphalt track, with Zhou Chi temporarily holding first place.

Seeing the Single-Plank Bridge Track ahead, he opted to change tires for safety.

Qi Tian and A Lie, close behind, also stopped to swap tires.

Wang Bowen, however, gritted his teeth and roared past, attempting to overtake on this stretch.

If he could seize the right moment, he believed he could eliminate Zhou Chi here!

The Single-Plank Bridge Track was only a few meters long and passed in a flash.

But it was a single lane with very low walls. The racer's running path was also separated from the track, and the suspended track hung above an Artificial Stream.

"Now's the time!"

Wang Bowen's car suddenly decelerated, forcing Zhou Chi, unable to avoid it, to rear-end him.

Coupled with the fact that Zhou Chi's car was lighter for easier wall-riding, the collision sent it airborne!

But to Wang Bowen's surprise, his own car also skidded, bounced, and flew off the track.

Caught off guard, he watched helplessly as his car plunged into the stream and jumped in after it without a second thought!

Zhou Chi reacted a bit faster, leaping up and slapping his car back onto the track, though he himself landed in the stream.

"That's not against the rules, is it?" The Artificial Stream wasn't deep, but due to days of runoff, the streambed was all mud.

"Are you okay?" Zhou Shuya lowered her Flying Broom, pulling Zhou Chi back to the shore.

Liang Xing's voice came through the earpiece: "Not against the rules."

"Not against the rules! But for such dangerous moves, please consider your own safety in the future!"

"I'm not hurt, am I? Thanks!" Zhou Chi was covered in mud, but he clearly had no intention of stopping, chasing after the track without looking back.

Before the track was even halfway done, one person was eliminated, and one car had fallen into the water.
