In one day, several models of Jiuzhou Automobile Factory ran more than 20 laps on the track.
The lap speed has improved after becoming more familiar with Kyushu cars and the track.
The one who improved the most was still Yao Xingfeng. Suzaku’s lap time improved by a full eleven seconds compared to before!
And as several Kyushu cars continued to overtake one racing car after another on the track.
In this small town, which is not very big, news about the Jiuzhou Automobile Factory gradually spread.
At night, a tavern was bustling with people.
This tavern called Engine Power is a very famous place for night entertainment in the town.
After being tired from playing on the track during the day, I went to this tavern to have a drink in the evening and discuss lap speeds with other racing enthusiasts.
Or the latest major competitions and other car-related news, which is a great blessing in life for car enthusiasts!
It has attracted some riders who often go to the track to play.
Today, as night falls, the latest news about the New North Circuit will of course gradually spread in this tavern.
In the tavern, a young driver in his thirties took a sip of beer and spoke to a few familiar friends around him.
"Have you all heard that just today, the fastest lap of the New Nordschleife was set?"
As soon as the words fell, several people around him said in disbelief.
"real or fake?"
"Why didn't I know about such a big thing?"
"No way, the lap time of the Porsche 956 for decades has been refreshed?"
"What kind of car is so powerful? It's not right. Isn't today the opening day? It's not the time for those car companies and manufacturers to do laps."
"It's fake, it must be fake, it's not made up at all!"
"Are you kidding us? It's really boring. It's not funny at all!"
Seeing that several familiar friends did not trust him, the young man put the wine glass in his hand on the table and said seriously.
"Of course it's true, and it's not just one car, there are three models on the list!"
"Especially for the sports cars, the lap times will definitely shock you!"
"If you don't believe it, you can confirm with the tavern owner later. He is very well-informed and should already know the news. The Newburgh official will also announce the latest lap time rankings in two days."
Next to him, a middle-aged man, a former F1 driver, sitting on the booth said with a smile.
"Hey, Arce, what you said is as if it is true. Keep talking. If it is false, it doesn't matter. Let it be the story for tonight."
Then there were people in the tavern booing again. "Drink, drink, let's hear Arce's story!"
Seeing that the people around him didn't seem to believe it, the young man sighed helplessly. After thinking about it carefully, he didn't argue with anyone.
Because what he said next, if he had heard it for the first time, he might have thought it was the fantasy story of an alcoholic.
And it doesn’t matter even if it’s considered a story.
The town is not big, but such a big thing happened today. There will definitely be many racing enthusiasts coming over to share the news about Kyushu Automobile with everyone. There must be someone well-informed among them who can prove it to him.
There might even be people working at the track inside!
Sitting in the booth of the pub, the young man took another sip of beer, smiled slightly and said.
"What I said is true. Today's New Nordschleife lap time was suddenly improved to five minutes and seventeen seconds by a car called Suzaku, which far exceeded the six minutes and ten seconds of the previous Porsche 965. One second lap time.”
This time, there were no doubters, because as soon as the lap time came out, everyone thought it was a small story in the pub tonight.
There have been many such stories in the past, but most of them were not as exaggerated as the lap times in today's story.
Some people were curious and asked the young man.
"With such a fast speed, what car company is this vehicle from?"
"Porsche? Ferrari? Or Lamborghini? Or Koenigsegg?"
"I think it should be Porsche. It broke its own limits and successfully improved the Nürburgring lap time ranking again."
Although everyone was in a joking mood, the young man still retorted.
"No, no, no, it's not these car companies that everyone is familiar with, but a brand that everyone doesn't know, called Kyushu Automobile!"
As soon as the young man finished speaking, several people in the tavern started analyzing the young man's words.
"Jiuzhou Automobile, a rather strange pronunciation?"
"It sounds like a language from Asia. Is it from Neon Country? After Honda and Toyota, are there new car companies emerging?"
"Uncultured, Kyushu, this sounds like China, okay!"
"Hmm, Hua Xia, I feel like tonight's little tavern story is a little exaggerated."
"How could that country produce such outrageous cars? As long as the data are not so exaggerated and the car companies are more reliable, I will believe it."
"I think it's quite interesting. There have been many such rumors before, and it's like what you guys said. The data and car companies are true, but it's just boring after hearing it too much.
And this story sounds quite curious, and I want to know more information.
From the mysterious Chinese car company, they came out with several models that surpassed many of the world's most powerful car companies. Could it be that they used magic? ! "
A current racing driver took a drink and gave his take on the youth story.
While everyone was discussing, a middle-aged man who had just entered the tavern and ordered a glass of wine said loudly to everyone.
"This is all true. Kyushu Motors and Suzaku broke the previous record set by Porsche in five minutes and seventeen seconds, and far exceeded it!"
Someone joined the conversation, and the tavern became more lively.
"Hey, it seems that this story is very attractive, and there are people who have joined in the creation of the story!"
"Yes, yes, it's all true! So next, can you tell us the story of how Jiuzhou Motors from China competed with the established racing cars on the track?"
"I must have used magic while racing. It's a mysterious Eastern country. You must go and see it if you have the chance. I like that country very much!"
Unlike the young people before, the middle-aged man emphasized it very solemnly again.
"We are not telling stories!"
Then, he continued: "Except Kyushu Suzaku, the other two models, Kyushu Taishan and Kyushu Dongting, also achieved excellent results of more than six minutes and 40 seconds respectively.
It has reached the performance of the world's top sports car! "
Seeing the middle-aged man's serious look, some people in the tavern started to believe it!
"Is it true?"
"It's impossible, it's absolutely impossible to have such a fast car, and it's still a car company in China."
"Why do the more I hear it, the more it sounds like a rumor!"
I saw some people who were doubtful.
A driver sitting in the corner also stood up to prove it.
"It's true. I was on the track this afternoon and was passed by several models of Kyushu Motors."
"To be honest, I was shocked at first!"
"What kind of car is it? It can be so fast. Like a red lightning, it passed by the Lamborghini I was driving."
"I didn't even have time to react. I could only watch those cars running further and further away. Even if I fully stepped on the accelerator, I couldn't catch up with them."
"Everyone knows that car, right? I just recently upgraded the engine."
One after another, people came out to prove it, and some people who originally thought it was just a story also frowned and refuted it.
"The final time was five minutes and seventeen seconds, which was nearly a minute faster than the previous fastest car. Isn't this because you were drunk?"
"How can a car drive so fast? F1 cars are not suitable for driving on the current New Nordschleife circuit. It is impossible to drive such a fast result."
"That's too fake. You can say it's three to five seconds faster than the previous Porsche record. It's abnormal to be so much faster."
“I really can’t think of any car model that can run so fast, so I’m sure it’s a fake!”
"I also think it's fake. As long as your lap time seems a little more reasonable, I will believe it. But it is impossible for any car to achieve this speed."
"Unless the track is renovated and F1 cars that are specially designed for speed, or abnormal models such as ground-effect fan cars are allowed to play, it will be slightly normal to have such speed results."
In the tavern, many racing enthusiasts who had not witnessed it live, or who were not racing enthusiasts but had learned a lot about racing because they lived in a small town, objected.
Several riders who knew the truth couldn't help but discuss it with everyone.
"Whether it's true or not, just wait until the New North official announcement is made. Everyone will know soon."
"If my car hadn't been overtaken, I probably wouldn't have believed it when I heard the news, but it's true, and there's no need for me to lie to you."
Just when some people were questioning, some people in the tavern who were just drinking and not talking, or people who had just arrived, stood up and gave a positive answer to the source of the news.
"There is no need to say false things, this is all what I have seen with my own eyes!"
"I also saw it with my own eyes. Kyushu Suzaku is very handsome!"
"Although it sounds very exaggerated, it is the truth."
"I have seen the track videos of those Jiuzhou Automobile Factory cars. They are indeed very fast, even ridiculously fast!"
It would be okay if it was just one or two people, but now seven or eight people in the tavern are talking about related news.
Just when everyone still didn't believe it, the tavern owner finally stood up and spoke.
"It's true! There really is a car that can run as fast as five minutes and a few seconds!"
