Episode 8 recap: The Feichi racing team is about to disband.
Back in 2017, Zhang Chi and Sun Yu Qiang had a race, and Zhang Chi left Sun Yu Qiang far behind. Sun Yu Qiang was very dissatisfied and tried to catch up, but in the end, he lost the race. That was their first meeting, and afterward, Zhang Chi introduced Sun Yu Qiang to Ye Ke. Sun Yu Qiang came to the Feichi repair shop and saw many things he had never seen before, so he decided to stay. Now, everyone has to move out of the repair shop to get surgery for Zhang Chi. Although everyone is reluctant, there is no other solution at the moment.
Ye Ke knows that tomorrow is the season's press conference and decides to go and see it. Shen Xiting watched a video of the racetrack and suddenly had an idea. She messaged Lin Zhendong and said she seemed to have discovered a clue related to his alter ego. Lin Zhendong rushed over after receiving the message. Shen Xiting remembered that Lin Zhendong's alter ego had once told her that he held the record for a 15-second tire change in a race, but currently, there is no such record. However, this person knew things that only the Feichi racing team would know, so Lin Zhendong found it strange.
After Lin Zhendong's analysis, he thought that his alter ego might be Zhang Chi, who had traveled back from the future. This was just his absurd speculation. Lin Zhendong is about to go abroad, and his uncle and mother accompanied him to the airport. Just as he was about to check-in, Ye Ke called and informed him that the Feichi racing team had disbanded.
Lin Zhendong was very surprised. It turned out that ten days ago, the team had already become unsustainable due to Zhang Chi's injury. Ye Ke divorced her husband for the sake of the team, and now the house was mortgaged. She initially wanted to ask friends for help, and although they had good intentions, they wanted him to accept reality.
Now Ye Ke only has the racing team left, but all the sponsors were there for Zhang Chi, and now it's almost impossible for Zhang Chi to drive again. They had hoped to start fresh from the repair shop, and everyone still had confidence. When Zhang Chi returned from the hospital, everyone surprised him to celebrate his discharge.
Everyone appeared very happy and took photos with the mascot together, but Zhang Chi felt deeply disappointed, though he didn't tell anyone. Ji Xing drove everyone out for camping, but currently, nobody knew that Zhang Chi already knew he couldn't drive anymore.
Seeing everyone's happiness, Zhang Chi didn't know what to say. Ye Ke mentioned that they had won dual championships in just four years, and took the opportunity to inform everyone about the team's transition. Everyone was going along with it, but Zhang Chi remained silent. When everyone looked at Zhang Chi, he announced that he would no longer participate.
In order to make Feichi bigger and stronger, fresh blood is necessary. Zhang Chi wanted to quit and knew that everyone was doing it for him, but he said that their true passion was racing, and they wouldn't be content doing something they didn't like. Zhang Chi officially announced his withdrawal from the Feichi racing team, not wanting to hold everyone back. He also mentioned overhearing a nurse saying that another team wanted to poach their members, but everyone refused to leave.
Everyone was reluctant and didn't say a word. Li Xiao He had actually liked Zhang Chi all along but never expressed it. He called Li Xiao He aside, and she wanted to continue supporting Zhang Chi, but he told her not to sacrifice her own life for him.
Zhang Chi threw away his crutches, but Li Xiao He picked them up. Zhang Chi actually liked Li Xiao He, but for her future, he had to say things that went against his heart. He then humbly asked Wei Qian Li to help arrange a job for Li Xiao He, hoping that nobody would be burdened by him.
Zhang Chi returned to his home. His grandfather was no longer there, but it held the most beautiful memories of Zhang Chi's childhood. He had always loved racing, and even when he didn't perform well, his grandfather never blamed him. Lin Zhendong was surprised to learn everything. Ye Ke still attended the press conference for the next season, but she went alone and felt somewhat lost.
The host mentioned that the highlight of today's championship was that the winner would have the opportunity to participate in the Dakar Rally, which was the dream stage for all racers. The next part was the introduction of new drivers for each team, but when it came to the Feichi racing team, there was only Ye Ke left. Despite the pressure, Ye Ke went on stage and announced the disbandment of the team, stating that they would not participate in the next season's races.
