"Director Sawano, we won! Xiangbei-kun overlapped and won!"
Mizutani Sho clenched his fists in excitent and shouted towards Sawano Hiroyuki.
To be honest, for automotive giant Honda, what championship hasn’t their team seen?
In the racing academy alone, there are forr F1, forr Super Formula, and Super GT drivers.
The Renault entry-level formula tour, in terms of status, is not even on par with a regular race station champion. In theory, for Honda team mbers used to grand spectacles, it lacks significant impact.
But Mizutani Sho couldn’t suppress his excitent because what he saw wasn’t just a Renault tour champion but a rising star in the Asian racing world!
Even the racing crew mbers specializing in motorsports were shocked, not to ntion the two Fuji TV hosts, whose faces were filled with amazent.
Chinese newcor Chen Xiangbei completed the twenty-lap course, not only overlapping the rear drivers but even leaving the second place, Ooshima Kazuya, half a minute behind, averaging 1.5 seconds per lap!
Despite various obstacles like duels and overtaking, it still proved Chen Xiangbei’s capability to dominate long distances.
Let’s not forget, Ooshima Kazuya holds qualifications for Japan’s Super Endurance race, essentially surpassing "youth training" driver status and achieving mid-to-high-level professional driver tier.
Yet Chen Xiangbei is still an eighteen-year-old student!
"Spectacular, this race was too spectacular. Not only did it allow us to witness the birth of the Renault Winter Tour champion, but possibly the ergence of an Asian genius."
Tanaka Nobuaki said with a poignant tone, reminiscent of his comntary on Sato Takuma’s UK F3 race in 2001.
If regions are divided, Europe is terd the strongest in formula racing, and the United Kingdom certainly holds the "Crown Jewel" status.
It not only has a complete formula system but also a full set of formula car developnt and testing technology, with almost all F1 teams headquartered in the UK.
This leads to the highest value of the UK championship in national formula events, without exception!
Sato Takuma dominated the UK F3 events back then, earning the annual championship title, with a win rate comparable to the early legendary Senna.
Thanks to his performance in UK F3, Sato Takuma directly skipped GP2 and entered F1 as a full-ti driver the following year.
A nineteen-year-old working man who financed a kart of his own for training impressively skipped tiers in the formula field, making a deep impression on Tanaka Nobuaki.
So much so that Chen Xiangbei now reminds him of Sato Takuma back then!
"Indeed, Xiangbei-kun perford impeccably."
Nakajima Hideyuki concurred, even if he previously had doubts about Chen Xiangbei, thinking the reports were accurate, he was now convinced by the results on the track.
"Champion! Champion! Xiangbei-ge Champion!"
In the stands, Qin Qiuyu jumped up excitedly to cheer, with Liang Chi and Qin Lianjie beside her. One feigned solemnity, and the other looked surprised, making no moves as they watched her.
Of course, Liang Chi was the one pretending to be solemn. Though feeling quite excited inside, as a senior and industry veteran, he couldn’t lose his composure in front of the juniors, making it seem like he hadn’t witnessed grand scenes!
As for Qin Lianjie, he was completely overshadowed by his sister. Why was this little girl so excited?
On the track, Chen Xiangbei, greeted by applause and cheers, headed towards the Suzuka Circuit podium. Even though it was just an unrecorded tour, it was still a championship, and the award ceremony had to take place.
Chen Xiangbei parked the Renault car in front of the sign marked "1." The Honda racing team mbers had already walked out from the paddock, waiting to celebrate with the driver.
Erging from the cockpit, Chen Xiangbei spread his arms and headed towards the team mbers among the crowd, giving everyone a tight embrace.
"Xiangbei-kun, congratulations on getting the ticket to Europe!"
"Xiangbei-kun, you’ve taken another step towards your dream."
"Keep it up, Chen Xiangbei, I believe you will definitely beco an F1 driver in the future!"
"The Suzuka Circuit record will be the next legend!"
The Honda team mbers congratulated Chen Xiangbei with excitent. Apart from Sawano Hiroyuki, initially, no one had confidence in Chen Xiangbei, thinking the Chinese driver’s racing data was flawed and that achieving good results in Japan was impossible.
Now they were wholeheartedly convinced, witnessing the rise of a genius!
"Thank you, thank you, I will work hard."
Chen Xiangbei replied with a smile. Even though he felt that a small championship didn’t need such fanfare, he couldn’t help but be affected by the enthusiasm.
In this life, he would walk the path not completed in the previous life and reach the peak!
Outside the barrier, the Japanese dia raised their microphones to inquire as they saw Chen Xiangbei coming.
"Chen Xiangbei, how do you feel about winning the championship?"
"Xiangbei-kun, I heard that Huashan Racing in China has closed down. How did they cultivate your skills?"
"Chen Xiangbei, the European Cup is hailed as the strongest formula competition. Do you think you can establish yourself there smoothly?"
Various questions ca all at once, leaving Chen Xiangbei unsure of how to respond.
But at that mont, a microphone was thrust directly in front of him, almost pushing into his mouth.
