"I would like to invite the four contestants from the first group!"
The host shouted, and four carriages slowly stopped at the starting point.
Archduke John pointed to another board on the scoreboard and said: "You can take a look at the odds of each family. Since the game has not started yet, they are all 1 to 1. Is anyone interested in placing a bet? "
The nobles who were sitting and waiting were still a little bored. When Archduke John said that they could still place bets, they became energetic.
It is true that these nobles may know each other, but who knows whose carriage will run this route faster?
This odds is normal. I think in the next round, the odds of families with different strengths will definitely be different.
Now that they are here, of course they have to play. These nobles did not bet too much at the beginning, just one or two gold coins.
The first group's competition started soon. Although these nobles were in the car by themselves, they all told their driver to go as fast as possible.
Especially on the straightaway just after the starting point, these carriages were all sprinting forward.
Because the curve at the back is narrower at first glance, it is absolutely impossible for four carriages to go hand in hand at the curve.
So you have to take the lead before entering the corner to ensure the lead behind.
The nobles watching also became excited.
"Wow, Viscount Barry's carriage entered the bend first."
"What a pity. Count Willie's carriage almost passed him just now, but the curve narrowed and he was squeezed behind."
At first, these nobles basically came here for fame and fortune. Now they really watch the game seriously, and then they realize that it is so exciting.
Some nobles devoted themselves wholeheartedly to feeling the excitement of the competition, while some nobles had already begun to call the grooms and began to discuss where and how to run, determined to win.
The four carriages were chasing each other. Just when everyone was watching with great excitement, the leading carriage of Viscount Barry came to the bridge. I don’t know whether the horse missed the step or the speed did not slow down. A horse was driving beside the bridge. After staggering a few times, he finally overturned with the car.
"Oh my God!" The nobles watching from a distance stood up excitedly.
I originally thought that Viscount Barry could lead all the way to the end, but I didn't expect that he fell down here.
"Is nothing going to happen?"
"The whole carriage turned over. It's terrible!"
Just when everyone was worried, Archduke John's servant, who had been waiting on the sidelines, rushed forward, opened the carriage and rescued Barry.
Barry shook his head. Fortunately, Archduke John's people gave him some strange protective gear before getting into the carriage. Although the carriage overturned, others were still fine, except that one arm was twisted.
The nobles who were watching the game all gave him applause. Barry didn't expect that he could still receive applause from everyone when he felt so embarrassed. He was a little surprised at first, and then he bowed and saluted, and was helped back by Archduke John's servants. .
By the time he returned to the competition seat, the first group's competition had ended, and in the end it was Marquis Jean's carriage that came from behind.
But the audience was surprised to find that no one got off the three carriages that had stopped.
Just when everyone was talking about what happened, Count Willie stepped out of the carriage and almost fell down when his feet went weak.
Then he came to the roadside while supporting his coachman, swaying from side to side: "Ouch!"
I don’t know if it was him, but the winner, Marquis Jean, and another contestant were in the same situation.
"This..." Everyone looked at each other in confusion. From here, we could only see that the second half of the track was a series of hairpin turns with uneven slopes.
Only by actually riding a carriage from above can you know how it feels. There are no shock absorbers, no rubber tires, no seat belts and no seats. This trip is no less than riding a roller coaster. It would be strange if a few people didn't vomit.
Seeing this scene, some nobles began to retreat again.
At this time, Archduke John stood up: "Everyone, I'm in the second group, I'm going to compete first."
Everyone did not expect that Archduke John, the organizer, would still be willing to participate in the competition after seeing such a situation, and they all admired his courage.
But at this time, a sharp-eyed person noticed a carriage that looked completely different coming over.
"This silver carriage!"
"Is it made of silver?"
"It's impossible. If it's made of silver, it's impossible for two horses to pull it so easily."
The silver carriage looked too gorgeous under the sunlight.
The two raised golden family emblems on both sides of the carriage showed that it was Archduke John's carriage, and there was a huge three-pointed star logo on the back of the carriage.
"Duke Tang, did you do this?"
Now when you see something new, it’s always right to ask Tang Ping.
Tang Ping nodded and introduced to everyone: "This is indeed a carriage we just produced. We call it the Mercedes-Benz carriage."
"Then is there anything special about this carriage?" a noble asked curiously.
They are no good. The carriages made by Tang Ping and others just look good.
Tang Ping smiled mysteriously: "Of course, I have it, but now I have to keep it a secret."
He pointed below and said: "The game is about to start, let's watch Archduke John's game first."
Hearing what he said, the others had to suppress their curiosity temporarily.
Although the host whistled, the three carriages rushed out as before, and everyone would get the upper hand on the first straight.
Only the mysterious silver carriage of Archduke John was a step slower and followed at the end.
"It's not really made of silver. If it can't run fast, it's just an ordinary thing, right?"
"How is that possible? Look at the wheel marks. The marks on this car are shallower than the others, which means that the other cars are much heavier than this car."
These people all looked at Tang Ping, and Tang Ping just smiled and said: "Grand Duke John thinks that speed on a straight line is not considered fast, only speed on the curves is really fast."
Just before everyone understood it, several carriages had already passed the 100-meter straight ahead and entered the curve. It was a bit narrow here, and only three carriages could pass at the same time.
If you add in the turns, the two-horse carriage might take up almost the entire road.
As expected, Archduke John's carriage accelerated here, easily passing opponents one after another on the curves.
"Wow!"
"This carriage was turning so hard just now. Isn't Archduke John afraid of being thrown out?"
Everyone stood up excitedly again.
The scene of Archduke John's carriage overtaking a car in a curve is too exciting.
And after surpassing his opponent, Archduke John seemed to have no intention of hiding his strength, and directly let others see what it means to be a good knight.
