Hoshino Yoshi's performance has reached his limit, while Chen Xiangbei remains calm throughout, showing no signs of feeling challenged.
Sawano Hiroyuki has only seen this state of absolute confidence in winners, meaning Chen Xiangbei's lap times have not reached their limit; he is assured of victory!
Actually, Nakajima Goro had already noticed during Chen Xiangbei's simulator laps that the kid hadn't reached his limit.
The reason is simple: Chen Xiangbei consistently sticks to the standard racing line!
This isn't saying the standard line has issues, but in a racing simulator, there's no car damage or safety concerns, so many practice drivers push to the limit, like using the full extent of the curbs.
In rain practice recordings, Chen Xiangbei dared to eat the curb aggressively, but in the simulator, he hesitated.
Would a driver of Nakajima Goro's caliber fail to see restrained strength?
He just was somewhat reluctant to admit it.
