Supreme: Life & Death at 300Kmh... CHAPTER 14: ??? IS HERE!!!

[DK]

It's a good chapter, but I'm a little confused because you first said that London was the final round, and then it was Rome instead.

Yeah lol got confused too.

Hello!!!



Well, it appears there's a little bit of trouble about how I wrote last chapter

The Golf Trophy is composed by 5 races... the top 8 drivers who end the "regular season" (let's call it that way ) with the most points, advance to the Championship Race , which is the one it's about to follow

Hope now it's a little bit clearer now. I'll rewrite that part tomorrow if you allow me

Now, let's move on with the Trivia!!!

I have 2 questions for you know...

1.- Like most chapters in this story, the tittle of chapter no. 9 comes from a song... can you quess who sings it???

Very easy, right?... I don't think you even need a clue...

And no... question no. 2:

2.- A very special quest will appear later in this chapter... can you guess who he is???

The clue: A living legend... Some people call him... "Il bimbo d'oro"...

That should be more than enough...

Prize car:

No. 17 Volkswagen Golf IV RM

That's right! just like when I gave away the DarkHorse, the RM Golf I used for the past 2 Chapters is now the prize car!!!

Well, gotta go for now... I'm exhausted

Later! 👍

 

[Machate-man]

1: Lady Gaga's "The Edge of Glory"


2:Francesco Totti
Often referred to as Il Bimbo d'Oro (The Golden Boy), Er Pupone (The Big Baby) and Il Gladiatore (The Gladiator) by the Italian sports media, Totti is currently the top active Serie A goalscorer and fifth all-time in league history with 207 goals.

Working on it!

I'm about to begin exams over here, so I'm flooded with projects and stuff... It was a rough week

If I don't finish it today, you may have to wait for ... I dunno... maybe Wednesday...

I'll hurry up... I'll edit this post if we have a development!

Edit: sorry guys... I'm not finishing today... I'll do my best to deliver it ASAP... stay tuned!!!

Later! 👍

 

[MoLiEG]

Hello people!!! How are you doing???

I have some explanations to do...

1st of all, I apologyse for this extremely long hiatus... last week I had an exam almost daily (including Saturday) at college and I had no choice but to study...

Fortunately... I think everything went just right...

Second... well... you may be wondering the reason of the 1st, original hiatus... well... I was fighting (and I'm still fighting from time to time) a depression period... courtesy of the girl I love... 👎 thanks to that, I had no lust of pretty much anything...

But anyway... here I am, once again, ready to continue with this magnificent story I'm creating

Welcome back to our story

Hope you like it!!! This one is for you... 👍

CHAPTER 9: THE EDGE OF GLORY; PART 2...

"Surrounded by timeless monuments that embodied centuries of history, The “Eternal City” was the perfect place to continue writing my very own glorious one… I would either rise as the City’s Emperor… or die trying… that’s how important it was that race… that day… to me…"

"Some time ago, in 1999 when Rome received professional racing on its streets for the 1st time, the layout of the track was, much like the last 2, London and Paris, a narrow and tricky circuit...👍 the main difference was the fact that in Rome was a longer circuit, so, higher speeds could be achieved compared to the other 2… However, the circuit had a short life, as for 2001… all racing events held on the city came to an end… Last year, when the Circuit made its comeback, the layout was completely transformed… Now… the circuit resembled an oval, with 2 long straights... which were separated by 2 somewhat technical sections that paid tribute to the former self of the track…"

-Old Rome
-New Rome​

I can imagine that picture!!! 8 cars, 8 drivers, 1 Championship… it was the final race of the Tournament… emotions all over the place, the crowd getting excited… You just can’t get any better than that!!!

Well… it actually did get better… 👍

-Flashback begins-​

Ladies and gentlemen!!! Benvenuti a Roma!!! Welcome to this special broadcast!!! Today, we have a very special race... the Season Finale of the Golf Trophy Championship!!! Together with my partner and friend, Gale Matthews, we will get you to all the action of this Championship Race!!!

Thanks for the introduction Mike... 👍 well, Ladies and gentlemen, this is it... final race of the season...

"There was no qualifying for this race, only a 20 min. practise. The starting grid was decided by the number of points scored by each of us, and since I lost a lot of points on the last races... I could “only” manage a 4th place on the grid... "

"As I was parking the car on my place on the grid... I started to see inside my head all my life passing by... ever since early childhood... I’ve been dreaming with a moment like this... from my 1st toy car, to the race at Autumn ring... to this moment... all my life has been about cars, racing, speed, championships... I eat, think, I even bleed cars...👍

After that... I closed my eyes and I tried to hear my heart... But I heard no noise... there was no beat... instead, all I could hear was the roar of the mighty V6 of my Golf... I looked inside me once again... there was no blood inside my veins, but oil... gasoline... I was fused with my car... man and machine... together... as one...👍

Finally... I opened my eyes... I was ready... I was ready to fight in the Colisseum"...👍

.
.
.
​

And... finally, to give us the green flag... Ladies and Gentlemen... please welcome... il capitano di la Roma... Francesco... TOTTI!!!!

"The crowd went crazy... And... I’m not gonna lie... I wen’t crazy also... Totti is one of my favourite soccer players... ever"

People of Rome!!! Buon pomeriggio!!! Today... is a special day for our city, as we host, for the 2nd time in our history a race for the Golf Championship!!! I feel honoured to be here with you... young glatiadors!!! History is yours to make!!! Now... Make it happen!!! Buona Fortuna!!!

"Totti’s speach almost brought a tear to my eye"...

Gentlemen... please... ACCENDETE I MOTORI!!!!

Ruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuummmmmmmmmm​

All I was waiting now was the green lights... but instead...

And Totti waives the green flag!!! The final race of the season is officialy under way!!!

Instead of the green lights... What we got for this one was a classic start with a green flag... it was epic ... 6 laps of intense battle were now on... 👍

At the begining of the race... I lost concentration for a second or two... the Colliseum is too beautiful to ingnore it...

Come on Dan!!! You’ll have plenty of time to stare at the Colisseum when you finish the race...

Sorry chief!!! On my way now!!!

Thanks to that, I lost 1 place... but it was just the 2st lap... to early to give up...

In order to begin my comeback, I needed to get rid of the red Golf behind me... since I got plenty of space in front of me, I had no problem in creating a god separation betwen me and him... after only a lap, I was again back on the race, ready to begin my assault to the leaders...

.
.
.

.
.
.

At the end onf the 1st straight, I set my eyes on the gray Golf in front of me... He was the same guy of the gray Golf of High Speed Ring... he was very good on defensive driving...

I attemped an overtake on the long corner of the Colliseum... but it was useless...

I had to wait almost an entire lap to pass him, right before the main straight... this time, he was mine... as I was passing by... I had a brief moment to contemplate the beauty that surrounded me...

.
.
.

After that corner was over, the main straight could be found... and yet another victim... the No. 75 Golf...👍

It was only when I looked my mirrors when I realized that the Golfs behind me were catching up... after all, they were also amongst the best drivers of the Championship...

At the end of the straight, I decided to make a gamble ... I decided to brake just a little later after the recomended braking point, so I could get rid of them... it could have been a disastrous maneuver... but fortunately... I got it right... I got some precious meters...

But again, not much could be done for the rest of the lap... except going fast, of course... ...2 laps already...

And yet another gamble at the same spot... the Colliseum Corner was tricky, but it could be tamed without that much braking... So... I did just the same as last lap... well... I went almost to the limit on that one...

My god! Barrera was lucky he didn’t touched no. 50, Carlos Rodgers...

He’s a showman, and he knows what he wants... Rodgers didn’t see that coming...

.
.
.

I chased him all the way into the 2nd straight... And finally got him just before the last corners of lap 3...

I was such a good lap... I almost got no. 27, Kyle Bassett, on the same spot where I took the gray Golf ...but since I couldn’t get him ... I had to wait for another moment 👍... 4th lap coming...

.
.
.

Again, the Colliseum Corner... not much of a challenge right now... just before the right turn that leads to the 2nd straight, I got him 👍... now... it was only me... and Golf no. 1... Mr... Kiyoshi Takagi...

Despite all the hype I generated during my 1st season... the real “superstar” of the series was Kiyoshi... An agressive and talented driver; just like me, he came all the way from Japan, were nobody gave him a chance , to Europe, to try, once and for all, to become a world class driver... In just 2 seasons (counting the one we were currently about to finish) he won 8 races... rookie of the year, and almost champion on his 1st attempt... that being last season... now... he was just 5 miles away of becoming a champion...

It was a great story, actually... he was heading for his magic ending...

.
.
.

Buuuut unfortunately I had my own story to write... 👍

Once I got to the 2nd straight, I immedeately put the car into position to get some slipestream...

...which paid off quicky... I got veeery close to him on the main straight... lap 5...

I attempted the same maneuver I used on the previous laps, but he read me just fine... I couldn’t get him there...

For the next corner, however, I had more luck... I made another crazy gamble... and hit the brakes just a little bit after the normal braking point...

Can you believe Barrera??? He’s Insane!!!...

He needs to try Formula Drift... or even stunt driving someday!!! 👍

Thanks to that , I got him... crazy, but it worked...

But that wasn’t the end of it...now... I was the one who had to take the defense... and with just 1 lap left... it was still plenty of time for "anything" to happen...

Entering as the leader to the last lap... I had no doubts in my mind that this was finally my day... So many things crossed my minds at that moment ... in fact, I even had time to fell a little sorry for Takagi ... but just like he was doing his job... I had to do mine... for me there was no better way to honour and respect a competitor than giving the very best of yourself...👍

.
.
.

But unfortunately... and strangely, (since Takagi was Japanese)... honouring and respecting a competitor wasn’t on his book... 👎

Just as I was driving by the Colliseum Corner... I saw Takagi on my right mirror... he had no chance to take me...

.
.
.

But he did... by raming the back part of my car...

Nooooo 🤬 way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I went straight to the retention wall... I couldn’t believe it...

Barrera kissed the wall!!! On the last lap!!! Unbeliebable!!!

I think there was a contact there, just look at Takagi’s car...

The crash wan’t so severe, I could continue, but the advantage he got was definite...

I attacked him for the rest of the lap, hoping he would lose his guard... but he didn’t...

.
.
.

And after the last corner... he even had the 🤬 to zig-zag a little bit... he even had the 🤬 to slow down...

And he won... by a mere... 0.3 seconds...

All I could think... after I finished the race was...

“I feel robbed”

-Flashback ends-​

TO BE CONTINUED...​

 

[DK]

It's a shame that Takagi's name isn't Lewis Hamilton - if it was, he would have been penalised already!

 

[MoLiEG]

It's a shame that Takagi's name isn't Lewis Hamilton - if it was, he would have been penalised already!

You sure??? I think most of the times they never do anything when he does something stupid...

Anyway... tomorrow!!!... well... today (given the fact is Sunday here already) the final part of Chapter 9 arrives!!! Stay tuned

Later! And Goodnite! 👍

 

[Michelin]

Is Takagi a far away cousin of Lewis Hamilton ? (Yes, I used driftking joke to create another one lol)

 

[Skython]

Hmmmm. Now I just want the final piece of Chapter 9 to come in. I'm waiting. 👍

 

[MoLiEG]

If you liked Takagi's driving, then you are going to love his mouth And BTW... this won't be the last time you hear of him in the story... He will be around for a while from now on

Well, here it is, the final part of Chapter 9!!! Hope you like it!!!

CHAPTER NINE: THE EDGE OF GLORY... PART 3

.
.
.​

No. 1!!! Kiyoshi Takagi!!! New Golf Trophy Champion!!!

What a race!!! Barrera had a shot at him until the very last moment after that contact... but he could’t close it!!! I think we just saw the very best race of the series... ever!!!👍👍👍

.
.
.

Son... are you Ok??? -Mr. Hill asked me on the radio... I didn’t know what to say ... so I just lied...

I’m... I’m ok chief... really...

Sure???

Yes... I think...

Don’t worry son... there’s always a new season... bring that car to the pits... 2nd place is still a magnificent accomplishment...

Ok... Dan Out... (cliiiick)

Obvsiously... I wasn’t ok... I was sad, angry... furious... about to cry... wanting to shout... my head was boiling... all I could think was... “TA-KA-GI”...

After the mandatory parade lap... drove the car to the pits...

.
.
.

Thanks buddy... it was a hell of a race... –I told the car...

Dan???

Mr Hill...

Dan... don’t be upset... 2nd in your 1st season... many drivers would kill to have your skills...👍

But Mr. Hill!!! He crashed me!!! Just look at the replay!!! Everybody saw it!!!

Dan.. I’m afraid there’s nothing we can do... this is no Formula 1... the judges won’t do anything... I’m afraid that in this level, that count’s as a legal contact...

LEGAL CONTACT???? LEGAL???? IT’S UNBELIEBABLE!!! ITS A DISGRACE!!! 👎👎👎

You will have plenty of opportunities, believe me... :tup:this is just the beginning, I know you know it better than me... Life gives seconds chances to the ones who really work hard for them... to guys like you...💡

By that moment... sadness was already over... now everything that was left inside of me... was rage... And as I was talking to Mr. Hill... it began growing... and growing... and GROWING...

Ahhhh!!!! ... I still think its not fair... I mean...I waited so much for this, I worked so much for this... I even prayed a lot for this... at some point in my life, I also cried a lot for this!!! I waited all my life for this!!! And now... from one moment to another... it’s gone... he stole my moment... I can’t avoid feeling... robbed!!! ITS NOT FAIR!!! Ahhhhhhhhhh!!!!

Think it the other way... you could be the villian at this very moment... That guy, Takagi... deserves it as much as you do... the point is, there can’be be such a thing as 2 champions...

Its so unfair!!! –I continued like I didn’t hear him... I was this close... this close!!! I was at the edge of glory ... 2 and a half miles to be exact!!! And this punk comes and ruins it all!!!

Dan... calm down... you can’t go to the podium like this...

I continued... but now... sadness began to emerge again...

I... I don’t know if I want to keep on going anymore... it’s so discouraging!!! The bad guys ALLLLWAYS gets the prize in real life!!!!!! I don’t know... I don’t know if its worth it... being the way I am... anymore...

Dan...

After that.. I kicked my helmet... and then... I tear escaped from my left eye...

It’s ok Dan... it’s ok to cry a little bit... real man do cry from time to time...

.
.
.

We went silent for a moment...

I’m... I’m gonna leave for a while.. I need to make a phone call... Are you gonna be alright???

Yes... Yes... It’s just...

Don’t worry... I understand... I’ll see you at the podium... 👍

.
.
.

After I left that rollercoaster of emotions... I finally decided to go to the podium to recieve my 2nd place “prize”...

As I was walking towards the pitlane, some mechanics and pit babes started to clap... and even more... Driver. No. 50, Carlos Rodgers came to say hello...

Great job man! Congratulations...

Thanks! You did a great job also...

Not as good as you did... see you at the ceremony!!!

I was pretty calmed down by that moment... :tup:but then...

.
.
.

Nice try Daniel-san... but you have much to learn... and unfortunately... talent is nothing you can teach to you...

If you define talent as ramming people and being dirty... then... I’m proud of not having talent at all...

You don’t understand... I’ll ram everybody and everything to achieve my goals... being nice won’t get you wins... you need to learn that kid...

I feel sorry for you... you’ll never get much further with that attitude...👎

Excuse me... but... who won??? There’s an enourmous gap betwen 1st and 2nd if you don’t know...

Don’t fool yourself... real drivers drive clean... you are just a clown... I tought you were different... but now I know I was wrong... you are pitiful... and you know what??? Maybe that’s why they kicked you out of the Japan racing circuit...

Don’t pretend you know me...

I don’t... fortunately...

Is there any problem gentlemen??? 💡

Someone interrupted us... Totti, himself...

Please... signori... The people of Rome want to salute the brave warriors who fought today...

And of course... salute their new champion...

Yes... Yes...

Totti's Poker face... It seems he didn't like Takagi either... 👎​

See!!! I’m the one the crowd is asking for... not you... people hates losers ...

I decided to shut my mouth... I didn’t want to make a fool of myself in front of Totti...

.
.
.

Some time later...

After the podium ceremony, I decided to go for a walk... Since I was going to be in Rome for only a few more hours before returning “home”... I decided to go an see the Colisseum more closely... 👍

By that time, the crowd was already gone... the car was already in the trailer that would carry it back home in Ahrweiler... and Mr. Hill was in the hotel, drinking a cup of coffee with the rest of the team... I was alone...

After I was done taking pictures... I went to a nearby restaurant for dinner. After that, I went straight to the hotel... I needed to rest...

.
.
.

-The Next Day-

I had to get up early the following day since our plane was taking off pretty early...

I got bored very quickly, so I decided to go for a walk... :tup:I ended up on the other side of the Airport, looking at some magazines... I was looking at “La Gazzeta dello Sport” when a stranger called my name...

Mr. Barrera!!!

That voice... could that be???

And yes... there he was...

Totti!!!

Mr. Barrera, Good morning... did you had a good night?

Yes, thank you... it’s a shame I can’t stay longer, this city is magnificent...

I see... I see... As you can Imagine, I’m on my way also...

You are playing on the road this week?

Yes... In Manchester, to be exact...👍

Wow! Sounds like a good challenge... Champions League??? I asume???💡

Again correct Mr. Barrera... again correct... Well... It was a pleasure...I have to go now...

I see... good luck then...👍

Thanks! Ohh... I almost forgot... you left the track very early yesterday... I had a present for you...

For... for me?????

Yes... 👍

He opened his suitcase...

And... there he is... I hope you like it... Open it if you like...

I opened it...

A... jersey... Wow... Thank you so much!!!

My friend knew you would like it a lot...

Your... friend???

Yes... It’s a little someone you know... He called me yesterday, he said you were feeling down after the race... I imagined this would help... 👍

I made silence for a brief moment... then...

I... I don’t know what to say...

A closer look on the jersey revealed a little postcard inside... It had a text in italian, written by Totti himself, that translated into this:

"Never give up Dan... life can be harsh sometimes... I know how it feels... Much like you, I was desperate for a title when I was young... I had to wait a lot, but in the end, all the hard work paid off... Never give up Dan... that’s the best advise I can tell you... learn to wait, and life will reward you endlessly... "

And his signature...

Thanks... Thanks Mr. Totti... I never will... I promise I never will!

-Flashback ends-​

You don't have any idea of how important is the mental preparation for a pro driver until you actually become one, my dear Noah ... every second, every day, every race... you have to become stronger, not only in skills, but in your mind also... 👍

You've always been strong my friend... but I guess that day you were at your limit...

I was... from Earth to Hell and back again... it was a rollercoaster of emotions that day... but in the end... I got something better than a championship...

And that was???

Hmmm... yet another life lesson...

Non mollare mai
​

"Never Give Up"​

[MoLiEG]

Hello everybody! I'm glad you are liking the story so far

Also, I'm already working on a new trivia... I'm confident this one will be a little harder than the last one

Anyway... I have to go now

Later 👍

 

[Michelin]

Also, I'm already working on a new trivia... I'm confident this one will be a little harder than the last one

Because a trivia that lasts 45 seconds isn't fun.

 

[MoLiEG]

Hello people! New chapter coming today's evening followed by the new trivia

Stay tuned!

Later!👍

 

[MoLiEG]

Good evening people! Part 1 of Chapter 10 is ready! Enjoy!!!

CHAPTER 10: RINGMASTER

You really have a thing with “Life Lessons”, bro…

It’s an autobiography Noah… it’s supposed to have those kinds of things: learnt lessons… reflections… and all that stuff…

I know… I understand… Anyway, what happened after the season was over?

Remember that project I mentioned earlier? The one that took place after Saxon Valley?

Yes, I do remember… are you finally gonna tell me about it???

Yes… Yes indeed…👍

Finally!

-Flashback begins-
​

After I was done with both my personal evaluation and the car’s repair works, I had about a week to chill and get relaxed… Since Ahrweiler was small and there was not much to do except… well… working on car things … I decided to make a little trip outside the city to do something I’ve always wanted to do…

You went camping??? Alone??? Man, that’s dangerous!

I know, I know, but I wasn’t alone… see…

And he showed me his diary…

______________________

Wednesday, XX-XX-20XX

Dear Ana:

Here, alone in the wild, I’ve had a lot of time to think not only about racing… but also in my family. For some odd reason, I feel that mom, dad and my sis are right here with me… not in presence, but in spirit…

As for racing, I’ve finally put behind the incident in Saxon Valley… once the season restarts, I’m gonna work even harder to get back the points I lost that day… 👍

Anyway, I have to go now… I can barely see what I write… besides, I don’t want to miss this magnificent sky and this magnificent full moon…

Take care Ana, goodnight…

Dan

_____________________

After my trip was over, I returned to Ahrweiler… When I arrived to my apartment, I found an interesting envelope on my letterbox… It read something like this:

____________

Dear Dan.

I hope you had a good time on your trip. Once you return, could you go the Audi Factory as soon as possible? I need to have a word with you.

Regards.

Henry Hertz.
____________

After I read it, I immediately opened the door and started unpacking, I didn’t like to make him wait… after all, he is my boss… Done with unpacking, I made a nice little sandwich, and went straight to my car…

At the Audi Facilities…​

After having a word with his secretary, I finally got to talk to him…👍

In his office…

So… how are you doing Dan? Did you have a good weekend?

Thanks… Yes sir, I went to the forest for a camping trip… it was a good weekend, yes…

Good, I’m glad to hear that… Anyway, I think you wonder why I wanted you to come here so quickly…

Hmm… well… yes sir, what do you need from me?

Listen Dan… Audi is currently working on a “little” project… and you see… again… some people on the high ranks of the VW company want you involved…

Little… project???

Yes… I can’t comment a lot of it because it’s some kind of… confidential…💡

Then it isn’t a little project…

Indeed… all I can tell you is that Audi is preparing a very important program for the upcoming years, which includes the development of several engines… and some other things…💡

Interesting…

My superiors told me that given the fact you are both an engineer and a driver, you could be useful to the program…

But… I haven’t finished my studies yet…

You see… a degree is important, of course, but nothing compares to what you’ve learned so far on both the pits and the track… won’t you agree? 👍

I think so, yes… 👍

A brief moment of silence…​

So… when are we going to start?

Once the current season finishes Dan… 👍

So… I’m not going to have vacations… at all?

I’m afraid not Dan… racing and engineering are a 24/7 job…

-Flashback ends-​

Very interesting…

Indeed bro…

So… how much did you have to wait to start working on that project?

Not much Noah… right after I returned to Ahrweiler, I immediately began with it… Just 2 days after I returned “home” I was heading early, very early in the morning, to the Nürburgring…

-Flashback Begins-​

When I arrived, an army of engineers was already on the pits… and of course, Mr. Hertz was there…

Morning Dan, did you have a good night?

Yes sir, thanks… so… what am I going to do here?

Dan, you are going to drive around the Ring on the car we prepared for you…

Really??? Me??? Test Driver???

That’s correct… 👍

And… what am I going to drive… a new TT, maybe???

Not exactly … follow me…

I followed Mr. Hertz to a large tent which was close to the entrance to the Nordschleife entrance…

Here we are Dan… this is your test car for today…👍

TO BE CONTINUED...​

Hope you liked it! Stay tuned! 👍

Later! take care!

 

[DK]

This looks interesting...

1.- Noup, guess again
2.- At some point during "Wolfsburg Giants" I mentioned the HP of the RM Golf and how many of them are racing in the series... The rest is simple maths
3.- You are missing 3...

As a hint, use the HP that mygranturismo.com shows for the stock cars and the cars I didn't mention the HP's

Good Luck! 👍

BTW, the SLS is a tuned one... by me
