My brain knows a Ferrari when it hears/see's one.
F430 and the 512BB are my last guess. I would mainly say it's the F430, though.
Bingo! We have a winner!!!
I know it may be a spolier, but yes, our next feature car will be a Ferrari 512BB
Ryou: I'll send you the car after the chapter is done
No second part for today... Sunday should be the day!
Later!

Flashback continues...
Rick was taking us to our homes, just like every Friday, after an intense afternoon of Halo multiplayer. For us 3, there was nothing more exciting than ending a week of hard work @ the university than an afternoon full of videogames, chips and pizza. And that day, it was even more special: We were celebrating our victory @ Kings Road, so there was no Coke that day Instead, we decided to purchase a big can of Heineken, to celebrate like men. But despite the party atmosphere in Ricks house, I noticed something in his face something strange he was happy, of course, but he looked like he was waiting for the right moment to say something I thought it was just me but when Dan started talking about (yes, you guessed right) the big race @ Deep Forest Rick decided it was time to start talking also
So Dan, I forgot to ask you the whole day, how do you feel about our upcoming race?
Well, what can I say Rick, Ive been sleeping with that little piece of paper since the scout gave it to me just to make sure Im not dreaming or something I cant still believe it
The paper in question...
Neither of us, Dan it was so weird, maybe???
Yep, it was, but anyway on the downside
Downside??? Whats wrong with you??? What could be wrong about this??? Rick sound furious
Im afraid the Beast wont make it on top on this one remember what the scout told us? The best drivers of the country ? That means we should be expecting supercars as our rivals
And since when those 2 are related??? Sounds like nonsense to me
Not at all Rick which cars do we see on the main event of almost every track day we go???
Rick made silence for a brief moment
Only the sound of the engine could be heard...
Jags, Lambos, Astons, and some other MR supercars thats what we see, Rick
All driven by rich juniors who think they can play Need for Speed on real life Wait! They actually do
You have a point there
And since we cant transfer our videogame credits to reality, Im afraid its impossible to put the Beast on their level, or just any other car our team is a small project you see and we dont have a fortune to get a car of that caliber
Another brief and uncomfortable silence
And then, Rick said something that, Im afraid, had been caged in his throat for our entire conversation I just knew it, he had something important to tell us
But what if we HAD a car?
Excuse me???
Tomorrow we are making a trip to my uncles house, near the Buddhist Temple I have a surprise for you guys
What???
You better prepare yourselves its pretty big... Dont ask me, youll see it tomorrow
What are you planning Rick Carter???? You are freaking me out!!!
Patience, youll see it tomorrow (we arrived to my house, Rick parked) It has to be early so at what time do you want me to pick you up???
10am is ok to you???
Yes it is. Dan, do you want to meet us here tomorrow???
I guess so but come on, one little hint???
Nope Youll have to wait for tomorrow
Ok then
Ill wait, but if I cant sleep tonight its going to be your fault
The Next day 10:00 am
Rick picked us up at 10am, as promised. Unlike other occasions, he arrived at my home on time, in British fashion. Dan arrived some time later, traffic jams as usual by 10:20am we were on our way to the house of Ricks uncle
The trip was long very long. After some time on the highway, Rick took us out of it and led us to an old hidden road into the forest he told us it would get us deep into the mountains, to a place that was literally isolated from the world
After almost an hour and a half, Rick said the magic words
Gentlemen, we are here!!!
Finally! I need to go to restroom
I told you to go to the bathroom on the gas station
(Outside the car)
Like I said, the place was isolated, but that didnt mean it was ugly. After we got out of the car, we felt like we had made a 1000 miles trip, all the way to Japan, China or somewhere on the Far East The place, to put it in simple words was beautiful and that was it Dan and I we were speechless
While Dan & I were contemplating that incredible view, I noticed that Rick went to talk to some old person near the car after a brief moment; the two of them were sharing a big hug After seeing that, I just knew a big story was coming
Come on guys, lets move!
Rick, Im sorry, but who was that person, at the entrance?
Sensei Han, Noah, my uncles mentor 👍 I was having a word with him I havent seen him in 7 years the same years that -And he stopped
His uncle died 7 years ago on a terrible car crash
Its ok man
Yes, sorry Come on Dan, dont get behind us!!!
.
.
.
Finally, after a brief walk, we arrived to a small apartment-like house, small, but kinda cute We entered
Its a little bit dirty, but we shall survive
We sat down on the small living room of the house and took a little break, after a few minutes, Rick finally decided to give us his surprise
Part 3 WILL be out tomorrow!!!
Hope you like it!!!

Le flashback continues...
You may wonder why we are here, right???
You are finally talking? Thank goodness! I mean, don’t get me wrong, the place is awesome, but I’m starting to freak out…
No prob Dan… well, here it goes… remember my uncle???
It was hard for Rick to talk about his uncle… he was just as close to him as his father…
My uncle, like you know, died in a car crash… but I never told you much more than that… or what he did for a living… right?
Yes, yes… and it’s… pretty understandable… you have your own personal things, just like we have ours…
Yes, yes… but, I need to tell you this so you can understand what I said yesterday and what I’m about to do…
Ok then, please go on…
Thanks Noah… well… my uncle, Kyle Carter, like us, was a racing enthusiast and a street driver. He raced in both the amateur and professional level. He was a Buddhist also, like you may have already noticed… Like us, also, he studied mechanical engineering…
He competed in races like the Carrera Panamericana and other important races involving classic cars… He liked classics so much he dropped some serious offers to race in the National Championship, instead, he signed with a small team sponsored by Alfa Romeo… 7 years ago…
He picked up a photo, and he showed it to us…
During a test drive, before the beginning of the season, he lost control of his car… the small Alfa was destroyed… the crash cost him his life… -Rick’s eyes started to water...
He…. He told me everything I know about cars at a very young age… he was like a second father to me… he told me that “If you are persistent enough, life will end up rewarding you with what you truly want sooner or later”…
Following that, Rick opened a small black box that he picked previously… and said…
He gave me a present some time before his death… he told me “After the season is done, I’ll take a year off to fix this car with you… after we fix it, I want you to keep it… You’ll need a good car to start your own career“...
A key appeared in his hand…
This is the key of the car he gave me… the car… I want to give to you, Dan…
Wait?!?! WHAT?!?!?! Rick…. I…
When my uncle died, I promised myself I wouldn’t race anymore; in a sign of respect to him… As for the car, it has been untouched also since it was supposed to be fixed by the two of us… but now… things have changed… My uncle…. –Rick again lost his breathe for a moment… My uncle would have wanted it to be this way… And he gave the Keys to Dan…
I… I can’t accept it Rick, there… there has to be another way…
No… it’s the only way… this is what my uncle would have wanted… you deserve this chance…
I… I don’t know what to say…
Dan was looking at the keychain when he noticed the inscription on it…
Dark… Darkhorse???
Like us, my uncle had the habit of giving names to his cars… so yes… that’s the name of the car…
After that, Dan turned around the keychain… his eyes almost jump out of his skull…
You… you have to be kidding me!!!!!
I’m not… do you want to see it?
I… I think so…
We went outside again... following that Rick asked Dan for the key as he led us to a garage… then he told us to wait outside… After that, Rick entered the building…
Dan & I were extremely anxious… we didn’t know what to expect… after a moment that felt like a lifetime thanks to the mixed emotions we were having, Rick’s voice broke the silence…
Are you ready? 👍
Yeeees!!!!
ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOARRR….
MYYYY GOOOOD!!!!
Slowly… the “Darkhorse” appeared in front of us, delighting us with his beauty and power…
Man… I can’t believe it… A FERRARI???? It’s just too much…
Me neither Noah… Me neither…
So… do you like it???
Man… I have no words to say…
Maybe “Thanks Rick” are the ones you are looking for…
Man, I own you much more than a “thank you”…
And the two of them gave each other a big hug… a men’s hug…
Rick –Dan said. – I promise to you and to your uncle that I will take care of this car…
I know you will Dan…
I promise –Dan continued… that I will use it with respect and honor, and that I will bring victory to his memory… and that I will never give up…
Amen Dan… Amen… 👍👍👍
And finally, I promise I will return you the car in perfect condition…
(Rick LOL’d
) You better do Dan… You better….
So… what’s the state of the car? –I asked…
I come here pretty often to check him, fire him up from time to time, and I can tell you this car right here, despite being a Ferrari, needs a lot of work… like I said, it was supposed to be fixed by myself and my uncle some years ago…
I can see… even the paint is damaged… how many horses Rick???
350, but in his condition… 300 it’s the limit, maybe even less…
Weight???
1500kg…
Well, it’s already 300 kg lighter than the Beast… I think even in this condition, it’s already an upgrade...
Sure it is… but like I said… It needs work, and money…
Do you have an idea of how much it will cost the repair of the car???
Maybe $10,000 I think… plus the modifications...
That’s a lot of money… I think we can't do much more other than the repairs…
No… We can do much more than that… -Dan said… Maybe it’s time to say goodbye to the Beast…
You serious????
I am… It’s time to say goodbye to my old friend… we can get at least 20 for him, that should give us about 25 grands (with the prize money of the last race) to fix and power up this bad boy…
I like your plan…
Me too…
Then, what are we waiting for??? Let’s get this thing rolling!!! We need to take this Horse to our place! We have only 2 months left!!!
That’s the spirit!!! Let’s go!!!
Together!!! 👍👍👍
At 2pm, we left the Buddhist temple, heading back home… Rick took the Ferrari, while Dan and I took Rick’s Alfa… now so many things were clear… not only today we understood why Rick didn’t race, but also why he was a Ferrari fanboy and why he bought an Alfa…
I was thinking about a bunch of things, when suddenly Dan said something…
And you know what the best part of this is???
What is it???
That now I have a chick magnet…
I LOL’d…
Dan… you are one lucky b:censored:d… you know?
Yes… I have the best friends in the world…
I was going to say another thing, but I just remained silent…
Now working on Chapter 5 Thanks for your patience!!!
Later!!!

Hello people!
After 2 evenings of typing, I've decided to split Chapter 5 in two separate chapters, since the intro part I began writing started to become long enough to become a Chapter by itself...
Therefore, Chapter 5 will be pushed for tomorrow afternoon
Thanks for your patience!

Hello people! Chapter 5 is here!!! Like I said, it was intended to be an intro for the original plot of Chapter 5, but it grew enough to become a Chapter by itself, with just the perfect lenght to avoid another split...
But enough talk! Let's get to it!!!
Dedicated to my sister...
LE MANS, FRANCE… XX/JUNE/ 20XX…
Look at the hour! I can’t believe I’ve been here for that long…
Yeah… it’s been a while…
Damn…my phone ran out of battery... that means the recording is incomplete…
It’s OK Noah… you already got the idea of the story, right?
Yes, I got it bro, don’t worry… I’ll bring a real tape recorder tomorrow…
Thanks Noah, really thank you… you & Rick are the only family I have, together with my parents & my sister… I wish Rick was here…
Maybe he’s on his way already… It’s been only 5 days since the accident, take it easy…
Of course … I forgot it… he now works in Japan, right?
Yes… Yes he does...
…You know, I’m glad we all three got something out of our “little” hobby… I became a professional driver, Rick was recruited by TRD and you got a job at Chevrolet...
Yes, we were very lucky… I’m glad that the dreams of the three of us came true…
Ahhh… not quite my friend, not quite…
Dan?
…. Ahhh, forget it man… I’ll tell you about it sometime in the future…
For the 1st time since I arrived, Dan looked a little bit sad…
Are you sure you don’t want to talk about it now?
I’m ok Noah, trust me… it’s too early to tell you… too early for our story…
Ahhh, you and your story… you are really into it, right?
Of course I am! It’s not like I can do much more at this time…
Ok then… so, you wanna continue?
First, you go to eat something… it’s pretty late… I can ever hear your stomach over here…
LOL…
...I went to the Hospital’s kitchen to pick a sandwich… Since I’ve been a recurrent visitor the last days, they made me one especially for me… After I ate it, I returned to Dan’s room so we could continue reviving our memories…
...After Rick gave Dan the Ferrari, there was nothing else in our minds than converting it into a racing machine in time for the race @ Deep Forest… There was no time to lose. We skipped classes, we made several phone calls, we visited several tuning shops… we even worked until 3am several days on the car… for an entire month we worked extremely hard in mechanic part of the car so we could concentrate on its performance on track on the second month…
After all those long nights, I have to say we were pretty pleased with the final result… the car didn’t only recovered its original power, but we even managed to increase its power to something close to 450HP, the exact power of our former car, the Beast (Lexus)…
Also, in order to make it lighter, we decided to completely remove the original cockpit of the car, to make it resemble a real race car. To make a comparison, the new interior of the car was much like the one of an F40: zero luxuries...
Of course, we couldn’t resist giving the car a new, aggressive look on the exterior… naturally, we painted the car black , inspired by both the color of the Beast and by the name that Rick’s uncle gave to him… as for the rims, Dan purschased a set of black rims… on which we installed slick tires… to give the car a boost in handling, something we couldn’t do on the Beast, who was on street tires…
The Darkhorse, after it's reconstruction was complete...
How we financed this? It wasn’t as difficult as I thought. As Dan promised, he sold the Lexus… and he sold it to someone you might remember…... Don't get it??? 
...Yes! … he sold it to Drake , the ghetto wannabe of King’s Road… How much??? $30,000 … With that, Drake proved he was as stupid as he dressed and talked… With a bank account of almost $40,000 and the help of a special friend, the modification of the car was finished within the timetable we set… 👍
After we declared the car finished, we began our weekly testing sessions… Where???
Yes… Autumn Ring…
After his 1st, crazy race some years ago, Dan became friends with the owner of the track, Mr. E. Patterson… Thanks to that, Mr. Patterson gave us his permission to enter the track to do our testing, and even more! For the Darkhorse project, he helped us with some of the parts we required… and of course, with the track…
@ Autumn Ring… 1 month after the arrival of the Darkhorse…
Well kids, the track is yours, remember to be careful and don’t do anything stupid, ok? You are driving a piece of history right there…
Thanks Mr. Patterson! (all three of us)
@ The pit lane…
Well, let’s get this practice started… everything’s ready?
All set Dan!👍
Ready!👍
Let’s go then!!!
...Our testing sessions consisted on 10 laps around the track, but today, we were going to make it 13…
Go! Go! Go!!!
It was an intensive session, as Dan wanted to gather as much information of the car as possible…
He pushed the car to the max on corners…
And also on the straight… he was very concerned about the top speed of the car, since the main straight of Deep Forest was very long…
And also, following his strange tradition, he visited the turf of the track from time to time…
.
.
.
After several laps...
It’s not the laptime I’m looking for...
You should do it better on next one as you are getting lighter because of the fuel…
Right… I’m going for another one…
And again, Dan flew around the racetrack… he knows every corner of it like the palm of his hand…
.
.
.
Now, that’s better!!! 👍
Yes! It seems you are finally finding your rhythm with this car…
Yes… it’s a very wild car… It’s very light and powerful… I have to be very careful on the throttle, or it will spin on the corners... the lack of modern day aids it’s what makes this car such a challenge to drive… I hope I can get good lap times with it on Deep Forest…
I’m sure you will, just keep rolling…
Ok then…
2 more laps Dan! Make them count!
Right! 👍
Again, Dan tacked the track like a master… this time he looked like a Scalextric car… his driving was just getting better and better…
And finally... he was done…
@ the pit lane…
How was it overall?
Well, you did very well; you lowered your lap time pretty fast after the 1st 3 laps, which were pretty slow…
Yes, I was getting the felling of the car on those ones, like I said; it’s a crazy horse… I just need more miles with him… I’m starting to get used to it…
Your top speed however, however, isn’t close to what you were expecting…
I know… but how close?
15 to 20 km slower…
That’s huge blow… We need that extra boost for the longer straight of Deep Forest… any ideas?
A turbocharger, maybe, but… I’m afraid we don’t have more money… we’ve already asked too much from Mr. Patterson…
I know, I know…
So, what are we going to do?
I’m afraid we got to a dead end… we need to continue working with what we have… Sure, the car will rock on corners, but in the straight it may lose a step or two… we need to focus on its handling a lot, that is key… we can’t waste any second on the corners, I has to be perfect… that’s our only shot…
Right! (Rick and I)
But anyway… I think it has been enough for today… shall we call it a day?
I wouldn’t mind… I’m already hungry…
Me too, let’s get something to eat on our way home…
We were preparing our things when Mr. Patterson arrived...
Done for the day, team?
Yes sir, it's been a good session overall... I could see you from the car...
Really???
Yes... you were the only person on the main grandstand, right???
Ammm.... I'm afraid I wasn't there Dan...
Really??? Ohh... what a shame... I tought it was you... I mean... he was dressed with a suit, just like you sir...
Dan... there's no one else in the track but us...
Really??? You sure???
Yes... you see, it's Sunday... There's no one on the track on Sundays but me... Are you...
I could see that Dan wasn't paying attention...
Excuse me sir...
DAN!!! Where are you going????
He ran where he apparently "saw" Mr. Patterson...
Dan... WTF you doing???
I swear someone was here, wearing a black suit... I swear... He looked so familiar... so familiar...
Come on Dan... it's time to go... you really freaked out Mr. Patterson...
Noah!!! I swear it!!!
And I believe you... but for now it's enough... we've been working on this for a long time... we need a break... especially you...
Ok... Ok... I think you are right... Let's go for now... maybe my mind is playing with me...
After apologyzing to Mr. Patterson, we left the track...
...Dan decided to take a 5 day break from cars to take a rest... from the 3 of us, he was the one who had worked the most... he wanted everything to be perfect... His determination was unquestionable... destiny was knocking at the door...
Destiny... awaited him...
Deep Forest... awaited him...

But enough talk! Let's get to it!!!
Dedicated to my sister...
CHAPTER 5: TESTDRIVE
LE MANS, FRANCE… XX/JUNE/ 20XX…
...4 hours had already passed since I entered my friend’s room…
Look at the hour! I can’t believe I’ve been here for that long…
Yeah… it’s been a while…
Damn…
my phone ran out of battery... that means the recording is incomplete… It’s OK Noah… you already got the idea of the story, right?
Yes, I got it bro, don’t worry… I’ll bring a real tape recorder tomorrow…
Thanks Noah, really thank you… you & Rick are the only family I have, together with my parents & my sister… I wish Rick was here…
Maybe he’s on his way already… It’s been only 5 days since the accident, take it easy…
Of course … I forgot it… he now works in Japan, right?
Yes… Yes he does...
…You know, I’m glad we all three got something out of our “little” hobby… I became a professional driver, Rick was recruited by TRD and you got a job at Chevrolet...
Yes, we were very lucky… I’m glad that the dreams of the three of us came true…
Ahhh… not quite my friend, not quite…
Dan?
…. Ahhh, forget it man… I’ll tell you about it sometime in the future…
For the 1st time since I arrived, Dan looked a little bit sad…
Are you sure you don’t want to talk about it now?
I’m ok Noah, trust me… it’s too early to tell you… too early for our story…
Ahhh, you and your story… you are really into it, right?
Of course I am! It’s not like I can do much more at this time…
Ok then… so, you wanna continue?
First, you go to eat something… it’s pretty late… I can ever hear your stomach over here…
LOL…
...I went to the Hospital’s kitchen to pick a sandwich… Since I’ve been a recurrent visitor the last days, they made me one especially for me… After I ate it, I returned to Dan’s room so we could continue reviving our memories…
Le Flashback begins…
...After Rick gave Dan the Ferrari, there was nothing else in our minds than converting it into a racing machine in time for the race @ Deep Forest… There was no time to lose.
We skipped classes, we made several phone calls, we visited several tuning shops… we even worked until 3am several days on the car… for an entire month we worked extremely hard in mechanic part of the car so we could concentrate on its performance on track on the second month… After all those long nights, I have to say we were pretty pleased with the final result…
the car didn’t only recovered its original power, but we even managed to increase its power to something close to 450HP, the exact power of our former car, the Beast (Lexus)…Also, in order to make it lighter, we decided to completely remove the original cockpit of the car, to make it resemble a real race car. To make a comparison, the new interior of the car was much like the one of an F40: zero luxuries...
Of course, we couldn’t resist giving the car a new, aggressive look on the exterior…
naturally, we painted the car black , inspired by both the color of the Beast and by the name that Rick’s uncle gave to him… as for the rims, Dan purschased a set of black rims… on which we installed slick tires… to give the car a boost in handling, something we couldn’t do on the Beast, who was on street tires…
The Darkhorse, after it's reconstruction was complete...
How we financed this? It wasn’t as difficult as I thought. As Dan promised, he sold the Lexus… and he sold it to someone you might remember…
... Don't get it??? ...Yes! … he sold it to Drake , the ghetto wannabe of King’s Road… How much??? $30,000 … With that, Drake proved he was as stupid as he dressed and talked… With a bank account of almost $40,000 and the help of a special friend, the modification of the car was finished within the timetable we set… 👍After we declared the car finished, we began our weekly testing sessions… Where???
Yes… Autumn Ring…
After his 1st, crazy race some years ago, Dan became friends with the owner of the track, Mr. E. Patterson… Thanks to that, Mr. Patterson gave us his permission to enter the track to do our testing, and even more! For the Darkhorse project, he helped us with some of the parts we required… and of course, with the track…
@ Autumn Ring… 1 month after the arrival of the Darkhorse…
Well kids, the track is yours, remember to be careful and don’t do anything stupid, ok? You are driving a piece of history right there…
Thanks Mr. Patterson! (all three of us)
@ The pit lane…
Well, let’s get this practice started… everything’s ready?
All set Dan!👍
Ready!👍
Let’s go then!!!
...Our testing sessions consisted on 10 laps around the track, but today, we were going to make it 13…
Go! Go! Go!!!
It was an intensive session, as Dan wanted to gather as much information of the car as possible…
He pushed the car to the max on corners…
And also on the straight… he was very concerned about the top speed of the car, since the main straight of Deep Forest was very long…
And also, following his strange tradition, he visited the turf of the track from time to time…
.
.
.
After several laps...
It’s not the laptime I’m looking for...
You should do it better on next one as you are getting lighter because of the fuel…
Right… I’m going for another one…
And again, Dan flew around the racetrack… he knows every corner of it like the palm of his hand…
.
.
.
Now, that’s better!!! 👍
