Chapter 1338: Chapter 503: Arranging a Race
Qin Miao rented two Ferrari 488GTBs from a dealership near Shanghai before heading over.
These are the standard version of the 2018 model Ferrari 488GTB, without any upgrades, but very classic.
Actually, the rental store also had an AMG GT Black Warrior, identical to the one Toto gave Qin Miao; he initially wanted to rent that car.
But today, Qin Miao also wanted to have a match with Zhou Guanyu, and since there was only one AMG GT Black Warrior, Qin Miao didn’t choose the AMG.
In the past, Qin Miao felt the long hood and short back of the AMG GT were kind of ugly, but after looking at it for a while, he got used to it, and now even found it quite good-looking.
Sharp angles, full of aggression.
At this moment, Zhou Guanyu wasn’t attending any commercial activities. This time he came out just to try and see, after a year of sharpening his skills in the F1 paddock, how much the gap had narrowed between himself and Qin Miao when both drove a car with similar performance.
So Zhou Guanyu also rented a Ferrari 488GTB.
And even if someone caught Zhou Guanyu driving a Ferrari, there’s really nothing to worry about.
Because Ferrari and Alfa Romeo are both brands under the Fiat Group.
Sometimes during the races where Alfa Romeo didn’t participate, Zhou Guanyu and Bottas would drive Ferraris to get on the track.
This shows the relationship between these two teams.
However, for fairness in the competition, before hitting the track, Zhou Guanyu paid to install new tires and brake pads on both cars.
For Zhou Guanyu, even though it’s a Ferrari, replacing a set of factory tires and brakes is just a small expense.
And for the owner of the rental shop, facing Qin Miao and Zhou Guanyu, he’d even gift the cars to them, let alone change tires and brakes.
Anything is replaceable! You could even swap the engine.
After recognizing Qin Miao and Zhou Guanyu and knowing they were planning to rent from him, the owner had already made his plans.
Once the two F1 drivers returned the cars, he’d put them on display right at the entrance of the rental shop.
Both drove Ferrari 488GTBs with nearly identical configurations, with the exception of different colors, to Shanghai.
It’s worth mentioning that the engine power of Qin Miao’s car was slightly less than Zhou Guanyu’s.
Mainly because Qin Miao’s car had nearly five thousand more kilometers on the odometer than Zhou Guanyu’s. After all, it’s a rental car, who knows how renters were driving it to torture this vehicle.
Zhou Guanyu’s car was purchased by the rental company later, with lower mileage and fewer signs of wear.
Despite the differences in performance, the competition this time seemed fair.
They went through the normal procedure to enter Shanghai.
There were all sorts of vehicles running on the track, ranging from ordinary small sedans to the trending electric cars in recent years, and even supercars.
Qin Miao wasn’t surprised by this anymore.
Neither Qin Miao nor Zhou Guanyu worried about encountering slower cars on the track.
Both were confident in their driving skills.
Taking out the walkie-talkie, Qin Miao said, "You go first, I’ll attack you."
Zhou Guanyu did not hesitate: "Sure, on the track your Mercedes performs well, and I’ve got nothing on that, but today is different, my car’s performance is actually better than yours now, so don’t blame me if you’re outpaced."
Qin Miao sneered, "Damn, added a few dozen more horsepower and now you think you’re all that? Just wait, watch me overtaking you dead!"
"If you can’t overtake me, don’t curse from behind."
"Let’s run a warm-up lap first. I feel like the tires have no grip at all right now."
"I feel the same way."
I haven’t finished paying last month’s debt, so the updates for this month aren’t counted for now. I’ll settle last month’s first before considering this month’s, very sorry.
