MTL - Mixed In the United States As a Local Tyrant-Chapter 346 Terminal【Third watch】
Chapter 346 The Terminal 【Third Watch】
After the awarding ceremony, the drivers went back to change their clothes.
After taking a shower, An Feng changed into the casual suit Joanna had prepared for him, including a white shirt, a light gray jacket, and casual pants, which looked very masculine. The bodyguards took their things and left from the convoy aisle, but they ran into the journalists waiting here, and the usual bodyguards had to step forward to act as a shield.
But this time An Feng did not refuse the interview.
Several reporters who were waiting on the sidelines were overjoyed. The cameras and microphones immediately started to work, and they asked some questions, such as whether he wanted to invest in a GP team and participate in bigger events? Has the team's Cooper signed a long-term contract? Will it go to FE and so on.
An Feng's answer is very simple: I don't know.
However, the quality of the reporter is very good, and he immediately changed the question: "Mr. An, the last race in Florida is related to the ranking of the second and third places. Are you confident? Or the team will consider implementing a set of rules for Mr. Cooper, who has already won the championship. A solid winning strategy?"
An Feng said: "I think the game must do its best, even if it is a teammate. I will go all out this time to draw a perfect end to my game career."
Another reporter asked: "Mr. An, do you have any other plans for the event?"
An Feng shook his head: "There is nothing else, this will be my last professional competition."
The reporters were pleasantly surprised, and actually dug up a lot of information, and the question quickly came up: "What made you decide to give up the professional race? Your performance is very good, and the racing style is very pleasing to the audience. Even if you are not the first, but we Find out that the most enthusiastic fans at the scene are yours."
An Feng smiled: "I have to thank this group of enthusiastic fans. There are many reasons why I no longer participate in professional events, such as age issues, family issues, etc. You know that racing is not my profession. In order to prepare for the event, I spent A lot of time is on it, and everything else is pushed."
The reporters knew that An Feng was a rich man, and it was not surprising that racing was not a profession, so they asked, "What a pity, is it because of Madam?"
An Feng put his arms around Joanna's waist and nodded: "She has paid a lot for me in the past few weeks, with worries and blessings. Yes, I hope to make her feel at ease, and I want to give her more space. In addition I'm not as old as those high-energy lads."
Everyone laughed.
An Feng sighed with emotion: "I'm talking about racing cars."
The reporters laughed even more happily, and Joanna laughed too. In the camera, she was hugged by her husband and leaned towards him. The subtleties revealed sweetness. The reporters turned their microphones to Joanna: "Mrs. Ann, what do you want to say about the last battle as a gentleman next week?"
Joanna said: "I hope he can achieve his goal. In addition, I want to say that as long as he has a dream, I will support him to realize it."
"Sir, do you think your wife has given you such great power?" The reporters asked.
An Feng said with a smile: "No, this is a promise. But if there is a good single event in the future, I think I may return to the track."
"Like the Indy 500?" A reporter joked.
An Feng smiled: "For this question, I would like to thank you for your compliment."
The Indy 500 that the reporter asked is a special part of the Indy car race. It is held at the Indianapolis Speedway. It is faster than F1, with more horsepower and higher top speed. The contestants have The Americans, there are a lot of F1 drivers too, so it's super high level.
So An Feng thanked him, it was a wonderful answer.
Seeing that the time was almost up, the bodyguards politely asked for a way out and escorted the two to leave.
The next day, things spread in newspapers and on the Internet. Many popular Chinese drivers will retire after the Florida race, and Daytona race will be his last race. As soon as the news came out, coupled with the video of the interview, it immediately attracted attention, and many car fans said it was a pity.
They really like An Feng's driving style. Of course, there is also a reason for the contrast in status. A super rich man who loves racing has devoted himself to professional racing and has amazing talents. This place is attractive enough. But hearing that he will withdraw after the game made many people feel sorry and disappointed.
Roger called at night: "You're not hype?"
"What is there to hype about me?" An Feng asked doubtfully.
Roger said: "The Internet has exploded! Everyone is discussing your last battle. The fans of the two gangs have already started arguing, and the scale is not small. Of course, the opponent is bigger because they debuted earlier. But you There are 100,000 fans here, and many of them speak foreign languages.”
An Feng understood: "What I said is true, but I didn't expect this effect."
Roger said: "If you want to change to someone else, I must think it is a hype. I just wanted to book a ticket for the Daytona Motor Speedway, but I was told that the rostrum is full. Your popularity is not low."
An Feng said: "The reason for the last stop? Other drivers have more fans than me."
"I don't care, leave me a few tickets, I didn't go to support you today, and I will be there next time I say anything."
"Go to Wang, he probably has hundreds of tickets for the rostrum."
"Is he a ticket dealer?" Roger was surprised.
An Feng smiled: "No, he intends to attract some relatives and friends and popularity for me, and he also customized more GP team flags."
"So I'm still a die-hard fan!" Roger said, "Well, good luck to you! Next time I will be there on time to support you and show good results!"
"I will!" An Feng said.
…
Many people are looking forward to the final battle of An Feng's professional competition, and Joanna also gave enough support.
Tuesday they fly to Florida.
Daytona Beach is a coastal city in northern Florida, and has always been a holy place for American motorsports. The famous Daytona 24-hour endurance race is held here. In addition, Indycar and NASCAR have tracks here. Also similar to Indianapolis.
But at least half of its oval stages mean that it is a high-speed track. As for whether it is as fast as the previous one, I don’t know. There is a small regional race at the Daytona track one week before the race. After the racing track, it is already Thursday, everyone should take the time to familiarize themselves.
For local American drivers, this is not difficult. Daytona is quite famous, and many people who play racing cars have run there, but it is the first time for Cooper or An Feng. It's not safe, so you have to choose another time to feel it.
After running a few laps on the Anfeng Track, I felt fine, so I changed into my swimsuit and went to the beach.
Joanna said that this has nothing to do with her at all, she has given the greatest support, even if An Feng is concentrating on the track all day, she doesn't mind. But now it seems that people are lazy for a reason. The weather in Florida was very hot, and An Feng didn't have the patience to stay in the racing car at 50 or 60 degrees for several hours.
The weather in Florida in mid-June is still very pleasant and comfortable, but if you have to wear a racing suit and sit in a racing car without air conditioning, all good impressions will be spoiled. An Feng wants to experience it before the impression is not bad. Take a look at the warmth and beauty of Florida... what an excuse.
Wait until Saturday, the city begins to see more tourists.
The last leg of the game is very attractive, and more than 80,000 tickets have been sold, setting the best record since the start of the event. The on-site audience of the MC Challenge has always been in a high state, and it does not give in to the top competitions. In addition to cheap tickets, freshness is also an important factor.
On Saturday, An Feng took some time to get familiar with the track.
On Sunday morning, the race kicked off, and the auditorium was already crowded with spectators. The happiest thing was the vendors. The weather was hot, and all kinds of drinks and beer had never stopped. The drivers on the racing track were thirsty after running for a few laps. It's too bad, but I can only drink mineral water honestly.
In the qualifying race in the morning, An Feng performed steadily and took second place.
After the noon break, prepare in the afternoon. The pit room of the team is very lively before the race, and a small number of reporters and media are allowed to take pictures nearby, but they are far away so as not to affect the drivers and team members. An Feng sat and turned on the air conditioner, chatting with everyone, and Joanna was also there.
The engineer is introducing the weather and road conditions. The weather is beautiful, the temperature is suitable, and the road conditions of the track are also very good. Next, the drivers need to play freely. There is no pressure on Cooper, his championship has been firmly established, and now the focus is on An Feng, hoping that he will win the championship.
Data shows that Cooper was overtaken twice by him in the last race, and he almost won the championship in the end, confirming the prophecy of "every time will be stronger".
An Feng crossed his legs: "Easy, if I explode, Cooper can only look at the taillights."
Cooper said: "I will do my best to inspire you."
An Feng smiled: "You boy!"
The Pit room is very cool, An Feng wanted Joanna to stay here, but she refused: "I have to go with your fan club, everyone wants to see you cross the finish line with their own eyes."
"Tell them I love them." An Feng said.
"Must." Joanna pinched his shoulders for him, waiting for the countdown to the game.
…
The well-tuned racing car began to be pushed onto the track, and the drivers were also changing their clothes. Joanna followed the bodyguards and left. An Feng also came to the maintenance area, and some reporters wanted to interview him, but the staff blocked him. An Feng just gave the camera a thumbs up, appearing very confident.
The third grid next to is Chevrolet's opponent, a WTCC driver with a good record.
The on-site camera gave the two opponents a lot of shots. An Feng took a leisurely look at the coolly dressed MM holding a sign, while the Chevrolet driver over there listened to the engineer's last instructions, and he had no other thoughts on the girl, and his mood was all on the car. The reward for winning the runner-up is very rich.
Five minutes before the start of the race, he got in the car, and the cameras were shooting the racing cars one by one. The racing babes kept showing off their charms, their eyes sparkled, and they blew kisses to seduce=temptation. Bit sequence, switch single motor, switch back to multi-motor, KERS energy adjustment, KERS acceleration, water vest drinking button... After memorizing the keys one by one, open your eyes again.
The girls are all gone.
The race is about to start, the start signal lights are on, and all go out—the start!
An Feng started third, and there was a sloping curve in front of him. He stepped on the switch to run parallel with the Chevrolet driver, but he was also an old opponent and would not give in easily. He firmly occupied the inside line and did not give An Feng a chance. Before the curve, it also occupies Anfeng's overtaking route.
The opponent wants to compete with him for the runner-up position this time. Naturally, the fighting spirit is high. Both sides are familiar with each other's ways. This car race can be said to be close. Gathering less and making more will sooner or later surpass the opponent.
But you must not be careless, because the first three times when you competed with him for second place, you won by a narrow margin. As long as you make a mistake, you will miss the opportunity. And An Feng also intends to overtake Cooper and win a championship... He is fully focused and shows his best state and patience.
The camera lens and the audience's eyes are also focused on them. The contest between the two has been discussed very intensely on the Internet. There are already bookmakers betting on the outcome of these two drivers. Although An Feng's opponent made his debut early, the odds are very high It is higher than An Feng, which proves that the dealer trusts An Feng more.
Whether they are fans or bets, the two of them are destined to be the protagonists.
