Pegasus 2 (Chinese: 飞驰人生2; pinyin: Fēichí rénshēng 2; lit. 'Flying Life 2') is a 2024 Chinese sports comedy drama film directed by Han Han and starring Shen Teng, Fan Chengcheng, Yin Zheng, Zhang Benyu and Sun Yizhou. The film tells the story of driving school coach Zhang Chi and potential rookie driver Li Xiaohai who set out to compete in the last Bayanbulak rally. It is a sequel to Pegasus and was released on February 10, 2024.
Plot
After surviving the crash at the end of the previous film, Zhang Chi (Shen Teng) is once again down on his luck: the near-total destruction of his car meant that his winning score was not counted, since the judges could not be certain that it was up to code, and he spent most of his money on physical therapy.
To make ends meet, he has become a driving instructor, relying on his reputation to attract clients. Unexpectedly, the director of the struggling Laotoule Automobile Factory (Jia Bing) offers to sponsor Zhang Chi to form a team to compete in the last Bayanbulak rally.
Seeing an opportunity to make money, Zhang accepts the offer, forming a team comprising his old friends Sun Yuqiang (Yin Zheng) and Ji Xing (Zhang Benyu), a talented young driver named Li Xiaohai (Fan Chengcheng), and hapless driving school student Liu Xiande (Sun Yizhou).
