A new lap time popped up on the live leaderboard, but most people paid it no attention.
A few people noticed the suffix next to the completed lap: 60mini. They glanced at the chaos on the track, then at the lap time, and back at the crowded course.
Some people realized that either a champion was down here slumming it and crushing newbies, or the car model was reported incorrectly.
After completing the first lap, Wu Shi didn't let up. He was ready to fly through the second, since his tires were now perfectly warm.
"Raul, he broke into the 1:18s. Do you remember what last year's pole position time was for the Mini class here?" Sid said.
"Of course I remember. That 1:18.339 of his would put him outside the top fifteen," Raul stated bluntly.
"No! You're missing the point! You know as well as I do that he'd be even faster if he weren't held up by slower karts. Breaking into the 1:17s wouldn't be out of the question!" Sid retorted.
"Hmph." Raul just scoffed and said nothing.
"..."
