Chapter 699 The First Place
Norah regained her composure quickly and checked the situation through the rearview mirror
One-third of the car had gone off the road, hanging over the cliff and on the verge of falling
She rolled down the window and called out to Marlin and Hans, 'Don't worry about us. Keep the race going!"
"The race is not as important as your safety. Hurry over here!" Marlin spoke urgently.
Hans yelled, "Don't panic. Help is on the way soon."
Norah didn't pay much attention to their words. She gripped the steering wheel tightly and turned to Yolande.
"Are you scared?"
"I'm not scared. Well, maybe just a bit, Yolande replied honestly.
"Don't worry. I'm getting us back on the track right now."
Determination flashed in Norah's eyes as she pressed the accelerator. The car leaped up from the high-speed friction under the rear wheels. She then swiftly reversed, and the sports car slid back onto the track
"I told you not to worry about me."
Norah flashed a quick smile, rolled up the window, and accelerated away.
The race was still on, and she had a chance to finish.
As her car rounded the corner and vanished from Marlin's view, his heart raced
Rosalee said, "She is incredible!"
Norahis calm attitude and competent actions won everyone's respect.
Yolande was excited. It was clear now why Norah was so assured before the race, her driving skills were incredible.
She had managed to navigate a critical situation all on her own.
Surprisingly, despite the delay caused by the incident, Norah had caught up with the cars ahead.
The most challenging section of the Twenty-two Turns racetrack was the sequence of six sharp curves. This section tripped up many drivers, causing delays.
When Norah's sports car overtook Vinson's to claim the lead, he, now in third place, lost his composure.
He had just seen her car dangerously hanging off the cliff's edge. How had she managed to get into the first place? It seemed unbelievable!
The crowd watching on the big screen burst into cheers. They had witnessed the remarkable scenario where Norah took the lead!
Vinson stepped out of his car, car keys in hand, and approached Norah as she got out of her car
"You are an excellent driver. I admit. Here's the car keys."
He recognized that he couldn't perform those drifts as perfectly as Norah did. In dangerous situations, the natural preference was to be cautious
He was not willing to drive so dangerously that it might cost him his life.
Norah accepted the car keys he tossed to her, twirling them on her finger. "Thank you for your sportsmanship."
Marlin, who finished seventh, and Hans, who came in ninth, both pulled up nearby.
Marlin hurried over to Norah, not daring to touch her, but inspecting her from head to toe to ensure she was alright.
"Is winning the race really that important?" When Marlin said this, his tone carried a hint of complaint.
Norah looked at him, puzzled. "I knew what I was doing. It really isn't your concern"
His question felt as though she owed him explanations for her actions.
Marlin frowned and kept his eyes on her intently.
They held each other's gaze.
Yolande, emerging from the car with shaky legs, clung to Marlin's arm.
"Norah was driving so fast, my legs feel like jelly."
However, it only heightened her excitement. Driving with Norah gave her a unique sense of security.
"Marlin, you should see-Norah drives much better than you!”
