Horizon DangerVerse

With Danger leading the championship by 1 point as the 20 cars headed for the third track on the championship, the 11 turn, 2.15 mile Solar Point Boulevard Circuit. Danger was getting some unwanted flashbacks to the first GT Championship, even though two rounds had already pressed. He was told by Aria that it can’t happen for the second time.

With this new found confidence, he went to the track to set his time.

As he lined up 5th on the grid, Danger knew that the one place he could overtake would be at the overpass at turns 3 and 4, and he could hope that the Lamborghini of Aria would lose the lead on the start to either Rusalka or Sonic.

When the race started for 23 laps, Danger’s thought never transpired as Aria held the lead as Rusalka didn’t get off the line as Sonic passed the Porsche heading to turn 1, Rusalka dropped to 5th place after Danger overtook her at turn 2. Meanwhile, Oscura passed Sonic and that meant she was now in P2, only 0.3 seconds back from Aria.

Viral managed to get up into P6 after passing both Danny and Hailey on the overpass. Even Gabrielle Sharkfire, who started in last place was already up into P15 after timing the start to perfection and picking off any cars she could between turns 8 to 11.

On lap 3, the #58 Aston Martin of Onyx Bang had a scrape on the left Armco barrier after Azura’s Ferrari was facing the wrong way after a 180 degree spin. His sister Aurora Blaze was in 8th place after a lunge on Manic at the turn off at turn 5. With Aurora’s mother in the lead by lap 4 it appeared that what Danger’s instinct was telling the truth. He felt as if she make it her second championship win in Velocity City as he was stuck in 4th place behind Oscura and his own son, Danny.

On lap 7, as Danger was hoping for a miracle, he would get one as Hailey’s Lamborghini crashed out at turn 7 which meant that the race was neutralized. Aria was still leading from Danny, Oscura and Danger. The thought of Danger and Oscura being in a battle was entertaining for the people watching the race.

When the race restarted on lap 10, Danny tried a move into turn 2 on Aria which worked well and as he progress on the overpass, he was leading the race. Danger passed Oscura using his Formula Equestria inspired drafting prowess. Viral was now into 5th place after overtaking Sonic Flash. Like Danger, she was also a bit surprised at how Danny managed to claw back such a big gap, she realized that Danny was learning well from his father and that he was a worthy champion. Danny’s sister, Astral was now in 7th place with the McLaren of Adriana behind her. Beatrice Radiance was 9th and Gabrielle Sharkfire was in 10th.

After Rusalka retired from the race due to transmission issues with 10 laps to go, Beatrice was hoping her car didn’t meet the same fate as her fellow Porsche compatriot. As Danny cruised off into the distance. Danger was now in pursuit of Aria. Despite being 5 seconds back after defending from multiple lunges from Oscura, he was getting closer to Aria and by lap 16 he was 4.2 seconds behind.

Lap 19, 3.7 seconds back.

But by lap 23 he could get within 3 seconds of Aria as Danny took his first Horizon GT win. Oscura was 4th, Viral was 5th, Sonic was 6th, Adriana was 7th, Astral was 8th, Beatrice was 9th and Gabrielle Sharkfire finished the top 10.
