After Danger entered the Horizon Outpost to check on his Ferrari 296 GT3 as it was being prepared for the second Velocity City Horizon GT Championship. He did feel good about his son, Danny winning the Classic Le Mans Prototype race earlier… but he would have enjoyed it more if the brakes on the 512M hadn’t caught fire in the worst possible moment. As he was preparing his 296, Oscura entered the room and she knew what Danger was up to.

“Are you planning to win the title by at least 1 or 2 points, Danger?”

Danger closed his eyes and sighed.

“I should hope so,” he replied, “because I completely forgot about the one rule on tiebreakers.”

“What’s that, Danger?” Oscura asked.

“Well… if two drivers have the same amount of points, which in me and Aria’s case, was 226 points,” Danger explained, “the winner of the championship would be the first one to cross the line… which was Aria.”

Oscura crossed her arms.

“Yeah I see what you mean, Danger,” she said, “she did win 3 races on the bounce in that championship. Don’t get me wrong, but… if I was running this Horizon Festival, I would have given you both a 5 lap shootout to determine the winner.”

“You’re not the only one who had that idea, Oscura.” Danger confessed.

“I’ll see you at Velocity Gardens then… also the ideal lap in a GT3 like mine and yours is around about… say… just over a minute.” Oscura said while giving him a heads,up on the track.

After Oscura left, Danger checked the entrant list for the second GT Championship.

As Danger looked through the list, he noticed that Rainbow, Sonic, Astral and Onyx were running the new Aston Martin Vantage GT3s. He never raced in one because it was new to him and also his 2 decade,long relationship with Ferrari, his own sponsor, even the thought of him racing a BMW M8 GTE in the first GT Championship was weird by his standards. Regardless of his thoughts breaking logic, he went into his 296 and headed into the Velocity Gardens Circuit to set a time on the 1.76 mile circuit.

As the 20 cars head to the start finish straight for 28 laps of racing, the engines were starting to rev up and the fans were wondering many possibilities; Could Aria retain her title with GT3 machinery… or could someone else take the crown.

As the green lights flash, Rainbow went into the lead heading to turn 1 with Viral slotting into 2nd place. Aria went into 3rd with Danger dropping to P5 after Danny overtook him after seeing an opportunity to pass after Danger’s slow start.

Aria’s daughter, Aurora was in P6 with with the Porsche of Rusalka behind her with Hailey and Sonic giving chase. The McLaren of Adriana was waiting for the ideal time to take all four of them and in her mind, preferably in one corner.

By lap 3, Oscura was drafting Crimsonia’s Ferrari everywhere on the 10 turns the 1.76 mile Velocity Gardens. As the two Ferraris where blasting by the Velocity Gardens Boulevard, which span from turn 2 to turn 8, both Oscura and Crimsonia were side by side and when Crimsonia approached turn 3, Oscura dived in the inside, and passed Crimsonia for 11th place.

As Danger retook 4th place from Danny during lap 6 on the boulevard, which also span from turn 3 to turn 9 with a double chicane at turns 4-7, he was now in pursuit of Aria who was about 2 seconds behind Viral who was now on New Saratoga Drive, where turns 9, 10 and the start finish straight is. But the determination didn’t end for the British Lion as the corners and laps went by.

After Onyx Bang got caught out on the exit of the chicane on lap 10, he had to pit for some quick repairs and tape to seal off any gaps in the bodywork of his Vantage GT3. After Onyx got out of the pits to start his 11th lap, he was in 19th place as Manic in the green and white Vantage retired due to a transmission issue.

Halfway through the race, Rainbow was still leading from Viral and Aria. Danger and Danny in the top 5, Hailey Banefire was in 6th, Adriana was in 7th after her plan of getting four cars on Velocity Gardens Boulevard kind of worked. Sonic Flash was 8th, Rusalka was 9th and 10th was Aurora Blaze. Throughout lap 16 to 23, not much happened until Azura misjudged her braking and scrapped the tyre wall before turning right for New Saratoga.

On lap 26, Viral was trying to pass Rainbow, but the cyan and red Aston Martin wasn’t giving up on the lead, even if Viral got her Ferrari on pole a few hours prior. But in the end, Viral’s attempts to take the lead back fell apart as Rainbow took her first of the championship. Aria completed the podium with Danger 4th and Hailey finished 5th and Danny 6th. Twenty seconds later, Adriana, Sonic, Rusalka and Aurora completed the top 10

1. Rainbow Dash, 25 points
2. Viral Velocity, 18 points
3. Aria Blaze, 15 points
4. Danger Dean, 12 points
