At the wheel of the racing car, Chen Xiangbei naturally did not know the skepticism in the hearts of the Honda Team members led by Sawano.
If he knew, he would gladly explain and even have to "thank" Matsuboto Brown.
Without his starting spin causing a skid, there wouldn't be a layer of rubber left in the starting grid from the "burnout," which allowed Chen Xiangbei to use it to enhance grip.
This principle is similar to the line strategy used in F1 during wet races; it's best to follow the driving line of the car ahead in the race. Because the car's long-duration travel dries the water from the driving line on the track and leaves some rubber particles from the tire.
Taking this driving route, the grip will be greatly enhanced, and naturally, the speed will be faster.
In the pit area, Mizutani Sho heard Director Sawano Hiroyuki's instructions and immediately pulled up Matsuboto Brown's split lap times to compare with the speed Chen Xiangbei was running.
