Chapter 3 - LM Race Cars?!
Time - 6pm
My Location - Shoren-in
I was home with Kimura, watching some television dramas. It's surprising that he likes it. Considering that I completed the project of tuning, I called Katherine.
"Hello?"
"Hey, it's Sarah. I've finished tuning."
"Wow that's fast."
"Yep. So when's the race?"
"3 days later."
"Alright. Bye."
I hung up and started packing.
-----------------------------
Time - 9 am
My Location - Monza, Italy
So here we were - in sunny Italy. Unfortunately, Kimura couldn't come. Oh well. Katherine and I were just having breakfast before the race which was 11am. She was informing me about the race.
"Oh ok."
"Yeah. You should know that every month there's a "Prototype Race." It's where automakers test their prototypes. You are entered in the competition. You should know that you are racing against Le Mans cars."
"Serious?!"
"Yes."
"And how many laps?"
"One. Again."
Time flew and it was soon 11 am.
Speakers - "Competitors of the Prototype Race of August, please get on the grid!"
It was a rolling start and I was seventh.

Soon off the line, I changed lanes to overtake the FTO.
Soon, I overtook him and changed back to the original lane.
I powered on, and it was time to BRAAAAKKEEEEE!!!
Soon, I became 4th.
Soon I passed the Fairlady....
And at the chicane, I became 2nd.
Soon, I was chasing him.
I had suddenly run wide but kept my position.
Soon, we arrived at the next corner. I had upgraded the brakes, and braked better than the Ford.
Woah, those Brembos are really glowing!
Soon, I was far ahead from the Ford GT.
Suddenly at the next corner, my brakes locked up. 🤬 !
But it was alright in the end.
So now, 780 hp and 1800 nm of torque, get past the finish line!
Yes!
I seriously can't wait to go home.
