The clock points to the early spring of 2019—the exact moment Zhang Chi's five-year suspension has just ended.\n\nZhang Chi is sitting on a worn-out sofa at home, talking incessantly to his son, Zhang Fei, about his past glory. The photos of his five consecutive championships hanging on the wall are covered in dust. He drapes a somewhat faded red racing suit over his shoulders and asks his son, "What do I look like?", to which Zhang Fei replies without looking up, "A delivery guy." Just as he speaks, a real delivery courier knocks on the door. This moment of awkwardness is a true reflection of the former "King of Bayinbrook's" five-year decline.\n\nIn an amusement park three hundred kilometers away, Sun Yuqiang is wearing a heavy green dinosaur mascot suit, clumsily taking photos with children under the spring sun. He is drenched in sweat but patiently strikes various poses—this is how he has spent the last five years. No one knows that hidden beneath this mascot suit is the man who once navigated for the five-time champion.\n\nAt the same time, in a corner of the team warehouse, Ji Xing silently wipes a pile of scrapped old parts. He is the "best logistics chief in the country," but also someone "terrified by negative news." After voluntarily applying to step down from the front line, this place has become his entire world. His hands are stained with engine oil, and his eyes hold a mix of resentment and anticipation.\n\nOn a track somewhere in the UK, 26-year-old Lin Zhendong has just finished a round of high-speed testing, his face covered in sweat as he removes his helmet. As a six-time Bayinbrook champion, he is about to participate in the next Bayinbrook Rally.\n\n18-year-old Li Xiaohai has just completed a basic training session. As the son of Factory Manager Xin Di, he is still far from his dream of becoming a professional racer, but his eyes shine every time he grips the steering wheel.\n\nMeanwhile, Liu Shihao, who is currently at the Guangke training ground, doesn't yet know that his four-consecutive Bayinbrook championships are about to begin next year. The setting sun casts a glow on his bright yellow racing suit; he is in high spirits.\n\nAnd at this moment, Zhang Chi stands up, brushes the dust off his pants, and prepares to attend the FIA hearing that will decide his fate. It's been five years; he wants his name back. What he doesn't know is that the gears of fate have only just begun to turn, and all these people will cross paths with him on the track of his life.\n\n<choice_group>\n <choice id="1">Change the topic direction</choice>\n <choice id="2">Observe current details</choice>\n <choice id="3">Advance the current plot</choice>\n</choice_group>
