In 2123, Lin Ran, the top racing driver in 2053, who had been sleeping for 70 years, woke up from liquid nitrogen freezing and entered the era of intelligent collaboration. At this time, maglev intelligent transportation has become mainstream, and the Classic Racing League (CRL) sticks to wheeled racing and human driving to fight against the wave of AI omnipotence.
Suffering from the sequelae of freezing such as muscle stiffness, Lin Ran can rely purely on intuition for driving due to his "chipless brain", but this is also incompatible with the data-first racing philosophy of the new era. He met Su Yuqing, a talented engineer from Xinghai University, Aya, a deaf-mute mechanic, and Jiang Lin, a military strategist, and formed the "Dawn Team". After a collision of ideas and teamwork in the university league, he integrated traditional driving skills and modern data technology to counterattack and advance to the national league.
Competing in the professional arena, Lin Ran joins the niche Red Flame Racing Team, facing the exclusion of the main drivers and the competition for capital. He also encounters the continuous suppression of Zhao Qing, who is dedicated to promoting AI driving - from data tampering, public opinion slander to identity exposure, dangers are everywhere. He and top driver Lu Xingchen were both enemies and friends. In the Intercontinental Cup and other events, he used "sensory driving" to break through the data limitations and achieve a single-race miracle. However, he unfortunately lost in the final due to the sequelae of freezing.
Along the way, Lin Ran not only cracked the truth about the Longji Mountain accident, but also grew from a confused "fossil driver" to a pioneer in the integration of old and new driving. He adheres to the racing belief of "integration of man and car". In the era of cold data, he proves that human intuition, courage and passion can never be replaced. He ultimately promotes the reform of CRL and inherits the pure racing spirit.
