The new season's driver lineup is being revealed one team at a time, and the biggest surprise is seeing Xia Chiying's name on it.
The same Xia Chiying who nearly won the F2 championship three years ago, only to withdraw unexpectedly and never return.
The fans are overjoyed, until they take a closer look and nearly drop their jaws:
Why did he sign with ESOL?
A moving roadblock on the track, ranked last among the teams for three consecutive years, also known as the tractor of tractors.
The fans: ...Has Xia Chiying gone crazy?

Since Xia Chiying's return to the track, the person most closely associated with him in the headlines is Fu Shengrao, AGT's current number-one driver and the undisputed defending champion.
At media day, a reporter asks Xia Chiying, “You were once teammates and are now rivals. Is there anything you'd like to say to him?”
“Nothing,” Xia Chiying says lightly. “We haven't been in touch for a long time.”
Yet just a few days later, a purple car bearing the ESOL team logo clings to the rear of Fu Shengrao's car like a ghost, battling him fiercely for nearly twenty laps.
The tractor of yesteryear has actually caught up with the champion's car. Only now does everyone realize something is off.
Didn't they say they weren't in touch? Why does it look like they're at each other's throats?

After a certain Grand Prix, ESOL pulls off an upset, overtaking AGT to take a podium spot. Fu Shengrao gets out of his car and doesn't return to his team. Instead, he heads straight for ESOL's garage.
The media swarm after him, afraid he'll get into a fight with Xia Chiying inside.
But no one could have guessed what was happening in the lounge at that very moment: Fu Shengrao has ESOL's star driver pinned against the wall, their breaths mingling.
He struggles to keep his emotions in check. “Xia Chiying, are you trying to get yourself killed?”
“Am I the one who's trying to get myself killed, or...” Xia Chiying looks him straight in the eyes and smiles. “It's been three years. Have you still not learned how to overtake me?”
