Back then, Yi Yanshun looked at him with bright, sparkling eyes. "One day, let's put together a race car and run the Nordschleife!"
Liang Chuan said, "Sure."
The weather at the Nurburgring Nordschleife is always unpredictable. You can never trust a sunny day there, and you can never trust a rainy one.
At the 24 Hours of Nurburgring, most teams play it safe and have three drivers take turns in three stints. With their limited budget, Yi Yanshun and Liang Chuan couldn't afford a third driver, so the two of them took turns and raced for all 24 hours.
Back then, they were too caught up in the race to feel tired or miserable. The sunrises and sunsets at the Nordschleife were beautiful. It seemed that once you were standing on the Eifel Plateau, no dream was impossible.
When they had no money, putting together a decent race car had seemed like an impossible task. Once they had money, they could change several sets of tires in a day without batting an eye.
Later, back at the Nordschleife, Yi Yanshun insisted on running his own stint on dry tires in the rain, betting on the sunny weather he believed in.
Months later, Liang Chuan, who had missed the Nordschleife, appeared at the 24 Hours of Daytona, betting on the rainy weather the Nordschleife never lets you trust during his own stint.
