After passing the stone road, the two were shoulder to shoulder again.
This time, Sun Tianhe was still on the left, and Lin Yan was on the right. However, the next corner was a left turn, and the pressure was on Lin Yan.
Sun Tianhe occupied the inside line, and it was almost impossible for Lin Yan to snatch a position from him.
"Lin Shen is in a passive position in this next corner, and he's likely to lose his position!"
Xiao K thought so too. In front of Sun Tianhe, it was unrealistic for Lin Yan to hold onto this corner, and overtaking on the outside was basically impossible.
The cars were the same, and Sun Tianhe would not drop his cornering speed. Without cornering speed, overtaking on the outside was impossible unless you could rely on the cornering angle. Did you still want to lean into a corner with an off-road vehicle like a race car? Don't be ridiculous, the stability of cornering simply wouldn't allow it.
Not only Xiao K, but most of the fans in the live broadcast room and at the scene also thought the same. It was impossible to corner an off-road vehicle like a race car.
However, Lin Yan was always good at creating possibilities.
The scene that followed truly appeared before everyone's eyes.
Just as they were about to enter the corner, Lin Yan performed a classic racing move, the Rossi leg. Using the Rossi leg on an off-road vehicle sounded preposterous, let alone watching it, but Lin Yan actually did it.
"Good heavens, a classic re-enactment, the Rossi leg. Lin Shen intends to drive the off-road vehicle like a race car. Can the road grip handle it?"
"Damn, I'm really afraid Lin Shen will give me a 68-degree lean with an off-road vehicle. If that happens, I feel like I can throw away nine years of physics!"
"Lin Shen's classic move before entering the corner. It seems he's about to unleash a big move. Is he going to defeat Sun Tianhe with this one corner?"
As expected, the comments guessed correctly. Just as they were about to enter the corner, Lin Yan retracted his leg, then pushed out his knee, and at the same time tilted the vehicle towards the inside of the corner.
This was Lin Yan's classic cornering move at the Shanghai station, which many of Lin Yan's loyal fans knew.
At this moment, Sun Tianhe had already started to enter the corner, and Lin Yan's body also leaned down. Due to the reduced angle, the mud kicked up by Sun Tianhe's rear wheel was thrown towards Lin Yan's face.
This was where the importance of the helmet became apparent. Lin Yan directly lowered his head slightly, using the brim of his helmet to block the flying mud.
However, the drawback of Lin Yan's excessive leaning angle also became apparent. The car's rear wheel swung violently. Just as he was about to crash, Lin Yan extended his left elbow to prop against the ground.
Sliding through the corner with his elbow and knee supporting him on the ground was an extremely effective but extreme way to corner.
Although he didn't overtake Sun Tianhe, he didn't give Sun Tianhe any advantage in this corner. After exiting the corner, Lin Yan was still next to Sun Tianhe.
Sun Tianhe was a little surprised by this. He didn't have a clear view of Lin Yan in front of him, so he was curious how Lin Yan managed to maintain the same speed on the outside as on the inside.
"I'll be damned, this works too. Although the angle isn't very low, anyone who can lean an off-road vehicle is definitely a badass."
"As expected, I was overthinking. There's nothing Lin Shen can't do."
"Shallow, shallow! I actually doubted for a moment that Lin Shen couldn't lean an off-road vehicle."
...
Not only the comments, but even Xiao K was stunned, as were the spectators off the field, all looking shocked.
This works? Leaning an off-road vehicle like this should be recorded in history.
Although Lin Yan used his elbow to support himself on the ground when leaning, it couldn't be considered a complete lean, but it could definitely be called a divine skill! An unprecedented way to corner!
The spectators off the field were shocked, but Lin Yan, who was on the field, knew very well that this was just combining racing and off-roading. It was a compromise cornering method, not a divine skill.
If the people present knew what Lin Yan was thinking, they would have been so angry they would have died. This isn't a divine skill? It sounds simple, combining the two, but can anyone combine them?
Someone who can achieve this not only needs strong car control skills but also needs to be proficient in both off-road vehicles and race cars. Such a person can be described as one in a million, no, perhaps one in a million, or it's even possible that only Lin Yan can do it.
He didn't lose to Sun Tianhe in the corner, and the two exited the corner shoulder to shoulder again. Next was a slalom course, which was a road paved with wood. There was no difficulty, and the two passed through quickly.
Soon, the race approached the next corner. This time, Lin Yan entered the corner with an even lower angle and overtook Sun Tianhe.
His knees and elbows rubbed against the ground. Lin Yan had already torn off the protective film from his goggles.
Although he dodged in time, some mud was still splashed onto him during the cornering, obscuring his vision. The reason why racing helmets are equipped with a layer of protective film is also for this reason. When encountering special situations midway, it is convenient for the rider to restore their vision.
This time, Sun Tianhe finally saw Lin Yan's cornering method. Good heavens, you can even play like this?
Although Lin Yan's vehicle was very unstable, he still managed to overtake him.
Seeing this, Sun Tianhe also started to exert himself. The race had reached its final moments.
"Lin Shen has overtaken Tianhe Ge again with this method. Currently, as long as Lin Shen doesn't crash in the remaining race, the winner will basically be our Lin Shen."
Xiao K analyzed the situation clearly. The race between the two was a one-lap decider. Now, two-thirds of the lap had passed. As long as Lin Yan could maintain his composure, the outcome was basically a foregone conclusion.
However, Sun Tianhe was not a simple person. After Lin Yan made this move, he also lowered his cornering angle, making the sliding path longer, trying to shorten the gap between them in the corner.
The exclusive roar of the off-road vehicle engine echoed through the venue. Sun Tianhe's vehicle was closely following Lin Yan, trying to find an opportunity.
But there was no way. Although Lin Yan's off-road driving skills were similar to his, Lin Yan's ability to fight for position was even better. In the corners, he had no way to deal with Lin Yan.
Even if he could regain his position through agile maneuvering, Lin Yan would reclaim it in the next corner with that rogue move. This cornering method seemed unsolvable.
