Nothing unexpected happened during Saturday's practice and qualifying races. However, Dionysios Makos, who had provoked him before, came over again and spouted a bunch of nonsense, declaring he would make Wu Shi understand that you can't win every race through trickery.
"So, you think I won the race at Salerno because of trickery?"
"Didn't you?" Dionysios Makos retorted.
"Yeah, you're absolutely right," Wu Shi nodded.
"Hmph! So you admit it!"
"Yes, I admit it."
Wu Shi felt helpless. 'In an era before sarcasm was commonplace, my sarcastic remarks are taken as the truth. The innocence of these times is truly a thing of the past.'
The next day, Sunday, during the final qualifying race, the host and guest on the live broadcast channel got into position and started broadcasting the event.
Host: "In yesterday's qualifying heats, the gap between the drivers wasn't large. Looking at the Mini category, the first-place lap time was 53.015, and the 33rd-place time was 54.181."
