As the main race begins, many high-precision infrared timers on the track have started, enhancing precision from the previous one-tenth of a second during reconnaissance to the current one-hundredth of a second.
Although it doesn't reach the F1 level of millisecond error, for a WRC event spanning hundreds of kilometers, a precision of one-hundredth of a second is enough to determine victory between drivers.
Thus, a terrifying fact emerged: Chen Xiangbei's speed is even faster than Sebastien Loeb!
Originally, everyone thought that Chen Xiangbei, a cross-border newbie, would do well if he could finish the whole course without incidents or accidents, and matching Kimi Raikkonen was basically impossible.
Unexpectedly, he surpassed the "Rally God" Loeb and was faster than Raikkonen in the SS1 timed segment by 0.17 seconds!
