Shen Li quickly retracted her gaze and walked forward.
All the drivers who had arrived before began to drive their cars onto the track one after another, and lined up at the starting point.
This sorting is also particular—the twelve teams are ranked in order according to their pre-competition results, and the first one is last year's team champion RAL. And the last place is naturally LY who just participated in the World Championships for the first time this year.
Shen Li came to her car, and Ji Shu and others followed her.
Mervin and his party walked past them.
When passing by Shen Li, Mervin tilted his head, his gaze stayed on Shen Li for a moment, and he said playfully:
"This is the first time a woman has come to this track. It's really exciting."
Obviously, he didn't take Shen Li seriously.
Even if he knew that Shen Li's strength was even better than Ji Shu's, in his opinion, it was still the same.
Shen Li put on the helmet unhurriedly, and then glanced sideways at him:
"That—hope it doesn't disappoint you."
Meeting her dark and calm eyes, a very subtle sense of familiarity suddenly rose in Merwen's heart.
It's as if... they've known each other for a long time.
But how is this possible? They have only met a few times from a distance before, and today is the first formal conversation.
How do you know each other
He quickly suppressed this thought, glanced over Ji Shu and the others beside him, shrugged and smiled:
"It's better like this. After all, Doyle has 'praise' you a lot."
That's not a good thing to say.
The expressions of Ji Shu and the others turned a little cold.
Shen Li didn't seem to be angry, but chuckled softly:
"How come Coach Doyle remembers us—oh, almost forgot, he's not our coach anymore."
Doyle's eyebrows jumped, his face turned blue.
At the beginning, he was fired by LY at the post-match press conference in front of countless media. This was almost a stain on his career that was difficult to wash away, but now he was brought up by Shen Li in public!
Shen Li seemed to remember that there was someone like him next to him, she turned her head slightly, and said with a smile:
"We are also very happy to be able to compete with our former coaches. After all, not everyone can have such an experience, especially in the racing circle—don't you think so?"
"you!"
Doyle was finally provoked by Shen Li to suppress his anger for a long time!
Under normal circumstances, when a racing driver announces his retirement, he will not return to the race.
Especially for those like Doyle, who retired not because of injuries, but simply because of aging and declining physical strength, and there is no reason to come back.
Not to mention, he even ran to be a coach in the middle.
Although his current strength is not bad, but RAL is the world's top racing club, and it is not difficult to pick out a young driver with the same level as him.
The reason why he can occupy a place in the race is more because he has a lot of connections in the racing circle in Leland.
Everyone knows this.
It's not that no one criticized it, but they basically talked about it in private. Shen Li was the first one to speak out in person like this.
This is almost equivalent to tearing Doyle's face off in public, throwing it on the ground and stomping on it a few times.
Mervin frowned and called him in a low voice: "Doyle."
Now that the game is imminent, it is not the time to care about these things.
Doyle's sanity was pulled back, he gritted his teeth, and finally endured it.
Shen Li's eyes hidden in the helmet were bent, but the corners of the eyes and brows were as cold as spring, and there was no smile at all.
She stopped wasting time with them, turned around and got into the car.
Merwin also felt bored, so he took one last look at Shen Li and led them away.
…
The stadium's terraces are divided into several areas.
The stands in Area A, facing the finish line, are below the referee's seat. Computers and other equipment are placed in front of several referees, and above them is the rostrum.
The muscular middle-aged man sitting in the middle is Ivan, the chairman of the championship committee, and the people sitting around him are all important figures in the racing world.
The other positions around the rostrum are VIP seats, and the people present are also of extraordinary status.
Of course, they also saw the confrontation and dispute on the field.
"I didn't expect Shen Li's style to be so tough. Opposite him is Merwin who ranks first in the driver list."
A man in his thirties whispered, shaking his head in disapproval,
"It's good for young people to be aggressive, but it's really inappropriate to be so arrogant without strength."
As soon as this remark came out, several people on the rostrum agreed.
"That's right. Although shrinking back is not allowed on the track, it's too much to be so aggressive."
"After all, results still matter. What's the use of trying to be quick now?"
"I heard that Ji Shu is not bad. If you give him more time, he will definitely not be ranked 61 on the list, but Shen Li... seems to have only participated in one professional competition before? I really don't know what LY thinks , not only invited her to play, but also let her serve as the captain—”
"President Ivan, what do you think?"
Someone threw the question over.
Hearing this, Ivan did not answer immediately, but instead looked to a certain position in the front right.
It was an extremely young man with neat black hair, tall and straight.
He leaned lazily on the back of the chair, his long legs crossed, and his posture was lazy.
Even if it's just a back view, it's not hard to feel the nobleness and looseness in his bones.
Ivan coughed and said:
"I don't think so... Since LY did this, they must have their reasons. And I also watched Shen Li's previous game, it was indeed very good."
Everyone was taken aback for a moment, never expecting him to say such a thing.
LY's grades are not good, isn't it recognized by everyone
And Shen Li—
"I think what Ivan said makes sense."
Another laughing voice sounded, but it was Luo Nai who was sitting on the rostrum who suddenly spoke.
Everyone looked over and was quiet for a moment. The man in his thirties who spoke first obviously still didn't agree very much, and argued:
"Mr. Luo Nai, we know that you admire Shen Li very much, but haute couture design and racing cars are two different things after all..."
Shen Li is one of the thirteen members of the Baicheng Fashion Association, and she is deeply liked and valued by the chairman, Luo Nai. Anyone who knows Luo Nai knows this very well.
I heard that he came back early this time just to watch Shen Li's match.
Can the racing car be the same as that—can it be the same
Luo Nai's smile remained unchanged, and his tone was gentle:
"I know that, and it's the first time I've seen her race, especially at this circuit - I just hope she does well."
Everyone was silent for a moment.
——Victoria Raceway was built by the Burshire family, and it is truly the site of Lornay!
He said he hoped Shen Li would get good grades, who could argue against that
Ivana didn't seem to be moving, so he felt relieved and repeated it again:
"Yes, Shen Li is indeed very powerful."
