Crown Shadows: Group B Elegy

In 1982, the World Rally Championship ushered in the craziest era. Group B rules open a Pandora's box. Automobile manufacturers poured technology, capital and ambition into racing cars, and hundreds of horsepower steel monsters roared among the mountains, forests, snowfields and cliffs. People cheer for speed, but they don't realize that this feast is paying the price with the lives of riders. In the Kowloon Walled City, a young man named Arthur Wang, who risked his life to buy medicine for his mother, was accidentally taken to Europe by the Italian private convoy "Chimera". From driving a Ford Escort that could fall apart at any time to driving the legendary Lancia 037, he gradually went from a "rat" at the bottom of society to a driver standing at the top of the world rally. However, what really changed his destiny was not the car, but a mysterious engineer from Seattle and the "black box" he brought - an intelligent control system that far ahead of its time. It can make racing cars faster and more accurate, and it also tries to make humans more "efficient". When technology began to make choices for people, when capital began to measure the value of life, and when the light of the championship crown covered up the bloodstains, Arthur, German driver Heinrich, and Yuri from the Soviet Union finally discovered that the real enemy they faced was never just each other. This is a war about speed, but also a war about freedom, choice, technology, capital and humanity. Under the crown, there is no God. Only the ones still holding the wheel.
