It seemed that for them, the most important part of the event was over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Qin Miao and Qimeng’s goals had not yet been achieved, and the two did not intend to leave just yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guided by Zhuang Yuqin, they went to the restaurant, where the organizers had prepared a buffet for lunch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dishes were diverse, looked very exquisite, and tasted pretty good.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anyway, Qin Miao and Qimeng quite enjoyed their lunch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After eating, Qin Miao and Qimeng returned to the hall where the auction was held.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During the time they were having lunch, the organizers’ staff had already tidied up the place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The food on the tables had been cleared, the tables had been wiped clean, and the outer soft cushions on the sofas had been replaced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything was just as it was when Qin Miao and Qimeng first entered, as if the auction half an hour ago had never happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason why the two returned to this place was mainly because they didn’t know where to wait during the after-lunch break.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sofas here had a massage function and were very comfortable to sit on, so the two decided to wait for the afternoon’s new car launch here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, the two sat at a position quite towards the front, but not right in the front; they sat on the left side of the third row.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This position allowed Qin Miao to observe the new cars to be displayed at the release event very well but wasn’t too close to the front.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once seated, Qimeng leaned her head on Qin Miao’s thigh; she had a habit of taking a nap at noon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In theory, if she were outside, Qimeng could resist the urge to nap, but now with Qin Miao by her side, she rested assuredly on him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Qimeng lay down, Zhuang Yuqin quietly brought a thin blanket and pillow and handed them to Qin Miao as quietly as possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Truth be told, at this point, Qin Miao clearly felt the benefits of money; when you have it, even if you’re just attending a party, everything will be arranged meticulously for you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not a single detail is overlooked; attending gatherings here is really comfortable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After nodding in thanks, Qin Miao took the blanket handed to him and covered Qimeng with it, then placed a pillow on his thigh for Qimeng to lie down again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While doing all this, Qimeng didn’t open her eyes; she just frowned slightly before reaching out a small hand to grasp Qin Miao’s hand, gradually falling into sleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After about half an hour, people slowly began returning to the hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most people sat in the same spots they had during the auction, though some, like Qin Miao, chose different seats.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once most people had arrived, the lights began dimming, and just before the venue fell into complete darkness, a beam of light shone, accompanied by the sudden sound of a resonant engine roar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh?\" The sudden engine roar woke Qimeng from her slumber, and she mumbled groggily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Miao placed his hands over Qimeng’s ears, letting her continue sleeping while he curiously watched the stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The iconic frog lights of a Porsche, a silver body, combined with the classic 911 body shell—an indistinguishable model of Porsche 911 slowly drove onto the stage amid a deep rumble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A suitable round of applause emerged from the audience, but Qin Miao, having his hands over Qimeng’s ears, did not clap, instead watching curiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Through the host’s explanation on stage, Qin Miao learned that this was a brand-new generation 911 Turbo S, set for a 2020 release.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After an impressive entrance, the host eloquently detailed the various features of the car and the differences from the previous generation for over ten minutes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, after listening, Qin Miao summarized it as one sentence: the biggest difference from the previous generation is that the performance of this car has improved somewhat, and the design is more advanced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the first car was finally presented, and at this time, many in the audience called for staff to sign contracts and place orders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Miao was dumbfounded. Is this really how wealthy people buy cars?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Very soon, other brands of sports cars took the stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And almost every time a sports car was launched, after the presentation, three or four units were sold on the spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The most outrageous was the 2020 AMG GT.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Introducing this car was the long-admired O’Kang, who, after an English introduction, sold over twenty units on the spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Throughout the entire car launch event, Qin Miao watched intently, as indeed being a man, he had little resistance to these powerful and handsome sports cars.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it weren’t for Qin Miao’s current financial struggles, he really wanted to buy the just-introduced Lamborghini Huracán EVO RWD Spyder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This latest model truly fit Qin Miao’s aesthetic, but he was genuinely broke, so he could only feast his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the auction, Qin Miao finally woke up Qimeng. By then, it was almost three in the afternoon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next was the new car test drive session. Guests could drive the cars showcased at the release onto the track at Shanghai and experience them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Qin Miao was only interested in two cars: the Lambo he fancied, and a Koenigsegg Gemera with an acceleration from zero to sixty in just 1.9 seconds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he dared not drive any of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These cars were nothing like F4; when Qin Miao sat in one, he could go full throttle without a care.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Miao dared to drive an F4 unreservedly because he could afford one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if he crashed the F4, the Racing Fund would cover the cost, allowing him to compensate the rental team with another F4.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But with these cars, Qin Miao truly didn’t have the courage to sit in and hit the gas pedal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because if he accidentally crashed any of these cars, selling himself wouldn’t come close to covering the cost, especially that Koenigsegg Gemera, just looking at that over a million-dollar supercar made him anxious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No wonder so many say that racing is a game only the wealthy can afford.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This shows it well; without money, you don’t even dare to step on the gas hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For if a hard step on the gas leads to a misstep into understeer or a pendulum effect, a crash would mean it’s all over for you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Your entire future would just be about paying off debt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, this test drive experience was one Qin Miao chose not to participate in; like most guests, he headed to the VIP observation area above the P rooms at Shanghai to watch the race.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And from above the P rooms, reminded by Qimeng, Qin Miao saw an acquaintance below.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An older cousin of his from the Qin family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, the dress she had worn was replaced by a set of black racing attire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Miao also noticed a detail: her racing suit was very \"clean\"—not a single advertisement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Escorted by staff, she got into that Koenigsegg Gemera.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Miao slightly clicked his tongue; it seemed this cousin’s family was genuinely wealthy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though it’s the first all-wheel-drive in Koenigsegg’s history, the power is terrifying—eighteen hundred horsepower, a single mistake, and it’s wall-bound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crashing into the wall starts repairs at twenty thousand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since Qin Miao began engaging with real-life racing, he opted to steer clear of cars his wallet couldn’t handle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Glancing over, Qin Miao lost interest in them; even when O’Kang got into that Koenigsegg Gemera, he remained indifferent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because after really seeing O’Kang, Qin Miao realized aside from being fairly tall, around 6’1\", he was just another ordinary human.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once he removed his filter for an F1 driver, Qin Miao found no differences from himself.\u003C\u002Fp>",1339,"2026-06-06T15:23:01.429Z",1,"novelbin.me","323cb68d3f00c656be1f6c1e0dbce8931557e3e8369c1ae5f96422f9f5a9f2f7","how-did-i-become-an-f1-driver-chapter-53","how-did-i-become-an-f1-driver-chapter-51",1086,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fhow-did-i-become-an-f1-driver-cover.jpg"]
