Welcome to Horizon

Velocity City was one of the many cities that doesn’t hear a lot of excite on a general day or night. But with the sound of cars that are suddenly going to a unknown location (to them when they get there), it means that there was a big event. One of the cars, a cyan blue 2023 Aston Martin V12 Vantage was heading to the location which is a stadium towards to a beach resort west of the city. As the Vantage is naturally in a performance class that has some really good cars (to Rainbow Dash’s point of view) that can be coughing up cyan smoke from the power of Rainbow Dash’s skill.

As the music was blaring at the resort, two other cars entered the grounds. A dark blue, white and red ItalDesign Zerouno and a cyan, white and yellow Porsche 911 GT2 RS, both in the 2018 model year. Both drivers, Sonic Flash and Beatrice Radiance were heading towards the stage which for Rainbow, who arrived a minute after Sonic and Beatrice, can mean one thing. This was a festival, but not the kind of music festival which her favourite music on her custom device that she made called ‘DashieStation’. This was a festival that are exempt fromf the rules of the road. This was a festival where the most ostentatious cars compete in championships for glory, where the best music is, where people enjoy the lights and the party from day to night, dusk to dawn.

This… is the Horizon Festival.

Everybody was invited to festival and Rainbow was wearing a similar outfit she wore in the Star Swirl Music Festival but in different colours. She saw Sonic and the crowd was wild and the fire cannon on the stage was wild, firing upwards and diagonally left and right. Sonic was wearing a blue shirt with a light blue and white outlined number 5, white shorts with blue and black stripes above the kneecaps and shoes in blue, white and black. Beatrice was wearing a blue, white and yellow summer dress with the number 91 that reached down to her thighs,

“This is WAY COOLER than the Star Swirl music festival.” Rainbow screamed in joy.

“I knew this would be in your tastebuds.” Sonic replied in joy. “I also bet this is one you can tick this off your bucket list.

“It definitely will, Sonic.” Rainbow said, hugging Sonic.

“Now, I have these confetti cannons which look like bazookas and we need to fire these at the sky and these will fire rockets filled with confetti which explode after 2 seconds in the air.” Sonic asked Rainbow and Beatrice.

After 20 seconds of preparation, the rockets were fired and, just as Sonic explained. Confetti engulfed the area which is something that Pinkie Pie would envisage in her party-driven brain.

Speaking of Pinkie, she had arrived in her modified Mercedes-Benz X Class with even more party rockets. Parties and festivals was basically a walk in the park for Pinkie as she went slightly overboard with the party rockets. But this is the Horizon Festival and the fans don’t seem to care about the mess.

Three more cars entered the outpost, a green, white and black 2014 Chevrolet Corvette C7 Stingray, a pink, white and red 2019 Porsche 911 GT3 RS and a 2019 Aston Martin DBS Superleggera in dark red, black and pink. Rainbow saw the three new arrivals consisting of Manic Speed, Rusalka Swordlight and Suzuka Blitz.

Rusalka was wearing a dark pink with the number 97 in the middle of the shirt and just below was the text ‘Swordlight. She was also wearing similar shorts as Rainbow’s in dark red, white and dark pink with dark red thigh-length boots. Rainbow also noticed that her hair was tied back and she thought that it would be necessary for any championship that may get launched at them. Manic Speed was basically a clone of Sonic Flash but with a dark green natural colour and normal green Rainbow Dash spiked hair. He was wearing a white shirt with a green and black number 45 on it, blue denim jeans with similar shoes to Sonic’s in green and black. Suzuka Blitz was wearing similar clothes to what Sunset wore during the Star Swirl music festival but in pink, dark grey and blue.

“I bet the racing is gonna be as cool as the party.” Rainbow said.

“You should hope so, Rainbow.” Rusalka told her. “Part of the beach is being used as a car and you may see some really good that have had the custom treatment.”

“I think they’ve learnt from Danger to be honest.” Rainbow commented, looking over at some of the cars on the beach. “I think we got to see what’s in store for us. Why don’t you get Sonic and Beatrice and leave Pinkie to… well cause as much party chaos she wants.”

“I’ll do that for you, Rainbow.” Suzuka announced.

After three seconds, Suzuka left Rainbow with Rusalka and Manic to have a word with Beatrice and Sonic

“Do she always have to be the one to do the work, I did ask you didn’t I?” Rainbow commented, a bit angry over Suzuka wanting to get Sonic and Beatrice over Rusalka.

“I really don’t blame her for jumping the gun on you.” Manic said. “She’s like that ever since she became friends with Aria.”

“Let’s go and see the cars.” Suzuka announced.

After about 2 minutes of getting through the swarm of people to the beach. Rainbow was in awe of the cars she saw. Ranging from custom cars to race-spec Mitsubshi Lancer EVO Xs, supercars, hypercars and track cars. Also in are muscle cars, grand tourers and even retro and classic cars on the beach. Rainbow felt like she was in motoring heaven. One of the cars she saw was a Ferrari 488 GTB with a blue with red and white and a number 40 on the roof. She recognised who was driving it, Becky Blitz. Becky was wearing a red mid-riff shirt with red shorts, red stockings and black red shoes. She was also sporting long red and black fingerless gloves.

“Hey there, Dashie! Ready to shake things up a notch.” Becky said, getting closer to Rainbow.”

“The races haven’t started yet, Becky!” Rusalka told her, “We need two more cars in order to begin the first championship.”

“Who are we waiting for exactly?” Becky asked.

“You’ll see eventually.” Rusalka replied.

Welcome to Horizon!

Danger's Coming

As Rainbow wondered who was going to arrive next. Lots of cars were flocking towards the outpost. One of them was only 12 miles away from the city itself, tearing through the Ironstar Pass at about 110 miles an hour. It was a red, white and black, Ferrari SF90 Stradale with a number plate which read ‘SF20 DNG’. It also displayed a very recognizable ‘Double D’ emblem on the hood which could mean only one thing, Danger Dean was heading for the outpost. Horizon knew that Danger is a speedy driver and if they put Danger in any car, he can make it dance. On the tight and twisty roads of the Ironstar Mountains, Danger’s SF90 began to slide with himself in total control.

“I absolutely adore this car!” Danger exclaimed. “Since I got her… she’s running smooth.”

After Danger’s descend down the Ironstar Mountains, he knew that the outpost was only less then 5 miles away. So he thought he would give the fans something to celebrate with.

Back the outpost, Sonic, Rainbow, Rusalka and Manic were going through the cars that are parked on the beach in a really long car-show before the first 3 races at the track. Two of the cars they saw were a pair of Chevrolet Corvette C8 Stingrays. One of the them was painted in green, white and red and had a Streethunter widebody kit and a number 11 on the roof, doors and even both windshields. The other was painted in pink, white and blue with a Pandem widebody kit and a number 12 on the same place as the #11 Corvette. Both of them were powered by Lionfire-tuned 750 horsepower 6.2 liter supercharged ‘small block’ V8s. The Stingray with the Streethunter was a little faster than the Pandem Stringray as the Streethunter can manage 224 miles per hour while the Pandem Stringray could only managed 219 (miles per hour) even with race-spec 8-speed gearboxes.

Those two Stringrays could only mean one thing, the Lionfire sisters of Blazing and Sparkling were in the Horizon Festival. Blazey was wearing a red sleeveless shirt with green flames decals, She was also sporting a dragon tattoo on her left arm. Probably to give an extra 2 miles per hour or a good luck charm depending on how she felt. She was also wearing dark-red flared leather pants with ankle length Sunset-style boots in light red. Sparky was wearing a magenta shirt with a number 12 in her logo. black tight pants and magenta boots that reached up to her knees.

Another two cars they saw where incredible to the eyes of Rainbow. A magneta, white, black and red Ferrari FXX K EVO and a cyan, white and red Pagani Huayra R with the numbers 35 and 36 on. To Rainbow it’s means the Dragonsfire sisters are on the beach. Azura was wearing a blue sleeve shirt with a dragon in white and circular formation with a 36 in the center. Her blue and red shorts and matching sneakers tell she was ready to win races as she has won plenty of races and championships in her time in Horizon. Crimsonia was wearing a pink summer dress with dragons and ‘35’s on that went down to her ankles but it didn’t mean her pink sandals mean she didn’t know how to pedal a car, especially a Ferrari FXX K EVO. She was also sporting a dragon tattoo like Blazey’s on her right arm but it was red as Crimsonia’s was black.

Before Rainbow could speak to either sister of each family… a 1,000 horsepower engine roared and it was the SF90 Stradale… Danger went behind the stage to give it more excitement. The flames on the top of the stage was firing diagonal pulse shots. There were 3 X and V formations with the flame shots but as Danger’s favourite part of his favourite song came around. 6 X and straight fire pulse shots came to the rhythm. Then Danger holds up a prop of the ‘Horizon Hammer’ and then slams in to the ground and fireworks and flame cannons go wild in straight and diagonal and then… they stop after 20 seconds of flame shots.

Danger grabs a microphone in his hand and starts to speak to the fans.

“VELOCITY CITY ARE YOU ALIVE?!” Danger shouted.

The crowd all shouted ‘YES!’.

“So many fantastic fans come from all over the galaxy to watch lots of cars burst around the tracks.” Danger said “Whether it’d be on road, racetrack, dirt or off-road, the Horizon Festival has everything your racing hearts crave. So Velocity City are you ready to start the Horizon Festival?”

“YES!” The crowd shouted.

“So Velocity City… Welcome… to Horizon!” Danger said.

After Danger dropped the microphone… A flame cannon symphony erupts.

Danger was wearing a different shirt than usual… It was basically a red shirt with Surfer’s Paradise on his shirt. This was because of countless playing Forza Horizon 3 whenever he wasn’t drowned his opponents in Rosso Scuderia-coloured smoke. He is also wearing Scuderia Ferrari themed shorts and socks and red shoes. One thing he didn’t tell anyone was that his SF90 had a playlist that contained his favourite songs from all the Horzion games. Whenever he is in a Hypercars race, he plays his playlist as he blitzes pass his opponents.

After about ten minutes, Danger heads to the garage to the outpost where there a car park the length of Manhattan is waiting for any Superstar to pick whatever car their poison is. Aria was waiting to greet him.

Aria was wearing the concert outfit she wore in the same music festival Rainbow and her friends went to.

“Hi Danger!” Aria greeted. “Are you ready for the first championship of Horizon Velocity City?”

“Does my face say something?” Danger asked.

“It’s you are… and… involves racing cars… you know the ones from Forza Motorsport to 1 to 7? Well I’m sure you do because… I’m in the championship and… my Lamborghini is gonna smack the championship in green smoke.” Aria said, full of optimism.

It occurred to Danger that the first championship was the Horzion GT Championship and it has some of the most recognized cars in the universe… Aria’s car the championship, a Lamborghini Huracan LP620-2 Super Trofeo, was one of Aria’s prized possessions and… some of Danger friends had already played their own cards on the table… Sonic had chosen an Aston Martin DBR9, Rusalka and Beatrice chose Porsche 911 RSRs and Danger pre-chosen his car… A BMW M8 GTE, to switch up the variety a little because he couldn’t drive just Ferraris. The Dragonsfire sisters went for the Lamborghini Gallardo LP570-4 Super Trofeos and Manic Speed went for a Aston Martin V12 Vantage GT3 because he wanted to show Sonic why modern GT3 cars are the best Even though the car was built nearly 10 years ago, it didn’t break the determination within him.

After the drivers picked their cars… the first was awaiting them… a 1.8 mile track which looked like a clone of the Three Bridge Circuit in Surfer’s Paradise. Some S2 class cars could reach times below the 53 second mark depending if it was modified or in the Horizon GT Championship’s case, homologated. The championship consisted of 5 race tracks with 3 races on each of them so 60 points were on offer for each of the tracks.

Velocity City Horizon GT Championship (Round 1 - Race 1-3)

For Danger, this was the time to shine. Three 25 miles races on each of the 15 races can test the car’s capabilities. He wanted to show them why he was one of the best drivers in universe because of his long career of wins and since 2012, Danger had 41 championships wins up to this points, the next driver below him was Aria Blaze on 31 and Rusalka Swordlight on 28.

“This is my time to show the people why my skill knows no bounds”

Danger headed to the track in his M8 GTE and started to go around the track

As the 3 races are 14 laps each, the drivers didn’t have to worry about fuel and tyre management as it was planned in advance so they won’t have to do last minute splashes. The green flag dropped and Rainbow jumped the top 3 into the lead. Her lead will last till the Angel of Speed overtook her at turn 1. The 16 cars were now in the groove and it was a clean race… right until the second lap when a small nudge from the Jaguar of Adriana Novalight upset the Porsche of Sayori as it scrapped the wall at 120 mph. By lap 4, Danger had overtaken both Rainbow and Sonic as the M8 was making short work on the field.

More carnage ensued on lap 7 when the M6 of Manic Speed crashed into the barrier after a small nudge from Lightning Dust. The top ten was Viral, Danger, Rainbow, Sonic, Kaci, Aria, Beatrice, Sayori, Becky, Sparkling heading to lap 8. Then on lap 11, Kaci tried to make a move on Rainbow Dash but was to quick on the corners although Kaci had the upper hand in straight speed and on lap 12, Kaci passed Rainbow for 4th place. Viral would win from Danger, Kaci, Aria and Sonic. Rainbow 6th, Beatrice 7th, Rusalka 8th, Sparkling 9th, Becky and Sayori 10th and 11th and Sunshine Radiance in 12th.

At the start of the second 14 lap race, Danger would get the hole-shot over Viral as an huge amount pushing occurred further down the order. So much so that by the second lap, it was Sayori Blitz, Sunshine Radiance, Adriana Novalight, Manic Speed, Sparkling Lionfire and Lightning Dust in the bottom six.

For 4 laps, Viral tried to the get pass Danger as his BMW was doing a bit of sliding heading into the corners. And on the final corner, Viral passed Danger to take the lead. The rest of the race didn’t have as much overtaking as the carnage began to subside. Until on lap 13 when Rainbow spun out into the barriers and fell to 13th place. Viral would win her 2nd race in a row with Danger and Kaci 2nd and 3rd. Sonic and Aria 4th and 5th, Sayori and Sunshine 6th and 7th, Beatrice 8th, Adriana and Sparkling Lionfire 9th and 10th with Manic and Lightning Dust in 11th and 12th.

Then on the third race, the Lionfire sisters made their moves. By lap 3 both Blazey and Sparky were in 6th and 8th after making some Danger-esque moves that were seemingly unbelievable but it also wasn’t unbelievable. They had some aces in their hands and the sister duo was making doing things that were never possible and by the eleventh in the race, It was Kaci in the lead from Aria and Danger as Viral’s Ferrari decide to do Formula Drift events rather than the actual championship. They were now in 5th and 6th with Adriana behind then till the end.

As the top 6 crossed the line, Adriana was 7th, Beatrice was 8th. Manic 9th, Lightning Dust 10th with Rusalka in 11th and Sunshine Radiance in 12th.

Danger was wondering why Rusalka’s Porsche was not performing to what she was hoping for and… being the friend he is, he investigated the car. What he found out was that, at sme point in the second race a piece of debris from Rainbow’s crash on lap 13 severed the brake line which meant she lost the front brakes, she had only the rear brakes to work with. Which is his vocabulary means… she had no brakes. Then Danger fixed the brake line and adjusted the front anti-roll bar to a softer setting, he wanted to mitigate as much loss of braking as possible. He didn’t tell Rusalka this as he wanted it to be a surprise.

Velocity City Horizon GT Championship (Round 2 - Race 4-6)

The next day, the 16 cars would head to the Swordlight Park Boulevard, 7 miles from the Horizon Outpost. The Swordlight Park Boulevard Circuit was one of the main tracks used in the Equestrian Formula Electric championship which Kaci Lionlight was extremely fond of. Kaci Lionlight was Danger’s girlfriend at CHS before leaving to focus on her racing career. She raced in Equestrian Junior Formula Championship, the Equestrian GT Championship and became champion in 2009 and 2012 with her own team Lionlight Racing Team. Now she was a hotshot in the Horizon community. With 33 championship wins and over 350 victories, she was one of Horizon’s fearless drivers.

Kaci was wearing a similar to Blazing Lionfire’s but in pink red and gold and has a lion tattoo on her arm.

She noticed on that Rusalka’s Porsche was more quicker than the most. But Kaci was 2nd in the championship with 48 points while Rusalka was 14th with only 7 points. She also noticed that Danger is only 2 points behind her so the Corvette C7.R she was in need to hold any potential charges from the 2009 Formula Equestria champion

At the first lap, Viral, who posted the only sub-minute time in the shootout was basically untouchable for a while until on lap 2 at turn 3 when Danger passed her and her Ferrari, with the Liberty University colours, began to calm itself down after shocking everything, mostly Danger, with a time below the 1 minute mark.

Not much happened in the race till about lap 5 when Rusalka was in a battle with Sonic and being overtaken by Rainbow. It appeared that Danger fixing the brakeline by himself was working wonders and that her Porsche was edging a gap to the DBR9.

By lap 8 Rusalka caught up with the Ferrari of Rainbow and at turn 8, the softer anti-roll bar helped the Porsche pass the Ferrari.

Viral was passed by Kaci Lionlight on lap 12 and as Danger won the race, Viral snatched 2nd at the hairpin, Aria and Rusalka completed the top 5. Rainbow, Beatrice, Sonic, Sayori and Lightning completed the top 10 with Adriana and Manic finishing the points.

Danger was now 2 points behind Viral heading to the second race and at the start… Rusalka overtook the 4 leaders to take the lead because of a timed-to-the-second start. Aria overtook Viral at turn 7 and by the ninth turn 9, the field was single file. 2 laps later, Rusalka lost the lead to Danger after a pass on the outside but Rusalka used the softer front anti-roll bar to her advantage and pass the Speedfreak.

“I think I created a monster.” Danger thought as the Porsche sped into the distance.

By the eighth lap, Sparky had overtaken Manic and Adriana to slot herself in the P11 but her next opponent was Lightning Dust, former rival of Rainbow Dash after Danger reformed her after the events of the Washouts. The thing that Sparky didn’t realise was that Lightning tends to put her car in a position to overtake or both drivers would crash. Most drivers who would want some points rather than nothing would cede the position. But Lightning decide on lap 10 to not do that anymore and at turn 10, Sparky made a move to pass which was successful and then at turn 3 at lap 11, Lightning made a move that was never on and Sparky… did not yield.

This caused Lightning’s Ferrari to crash and ride on top of the back on Sparky’s Corvette as it screeched to a halt. The damage was substantial and both Lightning and Sparky would need a lot of repairs before the 3rd round.

Rusalka won the race from Danger and Aria, Viral, Kaci and Rainbow. Sonic, Sayori, Adriana, Manic, Becky and Sunshine finished in the points.

Only 14 cars took the start on race 3 as Lightning and Sparky were busy repairing their cars for race 7. Viral tried to get the jump on Aria but the Super Trofeo Huracan bossed the field on the start and overtook Danger before turn 3, Rusalka knew that Aria was coming so she played defensive. Viral knew that something was amiss about Rusalka’s Porsche and that she waa losing to Kaci as a result of her pondering over Rusalka’s Porsche.

By lap 5, Rusalka was basically high speed cruising and as Sonic overtook Rainbow on lap 7 it was going to be another 20 points in the baf for her

But then…

The front left wheel completely came of the car and the Porsche speared right into the barrier with 2 laps to go. The top 12 hadn’t changed other than Adriana passing Sayori.

Danger won his second race in the championship and Aria, Viral, Kaci and Sonic. Rainbow, Adriana, Sayori, Manic, Becky, Sunshine and Blazey.

Danger wondered why the wheel came off of Rusalka’s Porsche and it was found to be a loose piece in the half-shaft caused to land on the wheel, breaking the wheel and making the Porsche crash in the wall.

Velocity City Horizon GT Championship (Round 3 - Race 7-9)

As the 16 cars make their way to the Tunnel Rush Loop. Danger hopes that Blazey and Lightning repaired their cars as the race was only 20 minutes away from starting. Even though Danger was 6 points ahead of Viral and 18 points ahead of Kaci, he was worrying over Blazey and Lightning because they were at the tail-end of the leaderboard with 4 points between them. Danger had to put that behind as he was about set his time for the 3 races.

The 7th race of the championship was underway and Danger got the jump on Viral to take 2nd and Rainbow was up to 8th as both Porsche 911 RSRs had a wheelspin start. Manic was caught out by the tunnel section in qualifying and when he entered the tunnel… he was caught out again as he crashed at turn 5 and it meant he was still at the tail-end of the field.

Meanwhile, Sonic Flash was defending from Sayori, Rainbow and Aria as the four of them were frequently changing positions from lap 1 to 4 as Kaci left the field almost for dead. But not entirely, as the M8 GTE of Danger was closing in and with Viral chasing him to, it was still anyone’s race.

On lap 10, Rusalka went on a charge, picking of any mistakes and sometimes riding on the sidewalks to get closer to the others

Kaci won the race from Danger, Viral, Rainbow, Aria and Sonic. Sayori, Rusalka, Beatrice, Adriana, Blazing and Sparkling completed the point positions.

Danger’s lead from Viral stretched to 8 points but with 6 points separating Kaci from Viral it was still close. But at the start on the second race. Aria shot in to the lead after timing the start so perfectly and Rusalka did the same.

By lap 2, Aria led the way with Viral and Rusalka behind. Danger and Kaci were 5th and 6th as they were caught by the tunnel section like Manic Speed had in the first race. But with Sayori in 4th and chasing Rusalka. It was a bit scary that both of them could lose out to Beatrice, Blazing or Adriana.

On lap 6, the next driver to be caught out by the tunnel section was Sparkling Lionfire as her Corvette nearly went airborne as she slammed the left side wall at turn 6. She knew she had to repair the damage for the third race. She knew that her sister would help as the races are 30 minutes apart from each other

Aria would win the 2nd race with Viral and Rusalka in 3rd, Kaci was 4th and Sayori 5th. Beatrice was 6th, Danger was 7th after being caught out at turn 12 by Beatrice. Adriana finished 8th, Blazing finish 9th, Rainbow was 10th after, like Manic Speed, was caught out on the tunnel section, Sunshine Radiance was 11th and Lightning Dust was 12th.

Aria would lead the field again on the third race and Danger was being pushed by both Adriana and Sayori. Viral was still 2nd despite leading the championship by 2 points to Danger and if the British Speedfreak drops to 13th or lower where Sonic Flash was after he crashed out on the first race like Sparky on race two. Luck can be on Danger’s side sometimes as he tends to pull miracles in difficult points of races.

Then on lap 5, Viral got caught out the tunnel section as she half-spun after misjudging turn 6 slightly. This opened the door for Rusalka in a way as she needed a good result after being on 17 points before she won the 5th race of the championship. With a 52 point gap to Kaci it wasn’t looking likely she’d win the title.

Kaci still tried to chase Aria but the Huracan was still fast and with Danger recovering up to 5th place. It was still tense in terms of the championship. Viral felt to 6th after getting overtaken by Danger on lap 8 and when Aria won her second race in a row, Kaci crossed second and Rusalka third. Sayori, Danger, Viral and Adriana crossed the line then Blazing, Rainbow and Lightning Dust then Becky Blitz and Sunshine Radiance.

This meant that with two rounds remaining, Danger and Viral were tied in the championship with 134 points each and Kaci was 2 points behind and Aria was now only 6 points behind. Danger knew that with 120 points on offer in the last 6 races. It was any of the top 4s chance for the title.

Danger Dean, 134

Viral Velocity, 134

Kaci Lionlight, 132

Aria Blaze, 128

Rusalka Swordlight, 70

Sayori Blitz, 52

Rainbow Dash, 51

Adriana Novalight, 36

Beatrice Radiance, 34

Velocity City Horzion GT Championship (Final Round - Race 13-15)

The situation was evident. Danger led the championship on 180 points with Viral only two points behind on 178 points and Aria only 2 points behind the Angel of Speed with 176 points. Kaci realised that she had a mathematical chance to win the title as she was on 148 points. The only she could win was by winning all 3 races and the case of top 3 melting on the final race. Rusalka didn’t have a chance as she was 80 points behind Danger.

Danger was pondering over the possible winners of the 3 races. It could either him, Viral, Aria or Kaci. But as along as the #8 Corvette was kept at bay through the three 13 lap races, it would be fine for the top 4. Danger then got in his M8 GTE and went out to set a lap time.

When the lights went out, Kaci Lionlight ploughed to the back of Danger’s BMW after Danger had a poor start. Danger could keep going and stay in 7th place, while Kaci pulled into the repair area so her Corvette can be repaired. This also meant that Beatrice was now in the top 10 with Rainbow Dash not far away from her. Viral got up into 3rd after Danger’s BMW was about a few centimetres shorter that was it started out as.

Lap 4 came around and a huge in the bottom half of the top 10 happened. Danger was now 6th, Rusalka was 7th, Beatrice 8th, Blazing Lionfire, 9th and Becky Blitz 10th. This was because of a big sandwich from some of the car allowed some to get past. On lap 7, Lightning Dust’s Lamborghini blew a tyre and crashed into the barrier and Sayori Blitz overtook Becky Blitz. Adriana was still retaining her led until on lap 10 when both Aria and Viral passed Adriana on the final. Danger managed to pass Sonic Flash in whatever was left of his BMW. At the end of race 13, Aria won the race from Viral, Adriana, Rusalka, Danger, Sonic, Beatrice, Blazing Lionfire, Becky, Sayori Blitz, Sparkling Lionfire and Manic Speed.

Sonic Flash, 81 points

Adriana Novalight, 72 points

Sayori Blitz, 68 points

Rainbow Dash, 57 points

Beatrice Radiance, 40 points

At the start of race 14, Danger got the best and by turn 1, he was leading from Viral and Adriana. Aria had the worst getaway and dropped to P6 behind Sonic Flash. Two laps later, Adriana lost a position to Rusalka and Sonic Flash got overtaken by Aria’s Lamborghini.

On lap 6 Danger was still leading but Viral and Rusalka were playing a game of chicken with each other as Danger’s BMW, or what was left of it, was taking weight reduction to a new level.

By the time lap 11 clock over, Viral and Rusalka were losing time to Adriana’s BMW and on lap 12 Adriana passed both Viral and Rusalka while Danger won the race. Aria finshed 5th, Sonic 6th, Beatrice 7th, Sayori 8th, Becky 9th, Blazing and Sparkling, 10th and 11th with Sunshine Radiance in 12th.

Danger now had a two point lead over Viral and a four gap to Aria. Both Danger and Aria had four victories each while Viral had only 3 wins. In terms of podiums. Danger had 11 podiums, Viral had 10 podiums and Aria had 9 podiums. Adriana was now 1 point behind Sonic with 3 consecutive podiums.

Aria got the jump on everyone and lead the opening stages of races. If Aria won the race and Danger finished 2nd, they would tie on 226 points but Aria would win the championship as in a tie, the driver crossed the line first between the driver Is the one who wins it all.

Viral got drowned in the field by Rusalka, Aria and Sonic Flash but on lap 4, she was back in 3rd place with some Danger-style moves that even Danger could take notes. Danger was in second and he knew that Aria would win the championship as they were provisionally on 226 points.

On lap 9, Danger tried to pass but the former Dazzling was still retaining the lead, the laps trickled down as the sun dipped below the horizon and when Aria crossed the line on lap 13… she had done it. She became the Velocity City Horizon GT champion. Danger finished 2nd, with Viral 3rd, Adriana 4th, Rusalka 5th, Sonic 6th, Becky Blitz 7th, Manic Speed 8th, Beatrice 9th, Blazing and Sparkling 10th and 11th and Sunshine Radiance 12th.

Beatrice Radiance 50 points

After Aria climbed out of her Lamborghini, Danger was there with surprise written on his face.

“Well Danger?” Aria asked. “How was that for a championship?”

“Well, Aria… it was a blast!” Danger replied. “I never knew that Super Trofeo Huracan can out-race a GTE car… but you proved me it can… I will confess it was all homologated to Forza GT standards but… you deserved the championship. Come on, let’s get you on the podium where your trophy is waiting for you.”

After a while, Aria was on the podium and her trophy was waiting to be lifted. The trophy was about the same size as the one used in the 24 Hours of Le Mans, but lighter, shorter and had a 1:4 model of a GT3 car on the top base of the trophy.

Aria lifted it and never felt prouder as tons of confetti blasted out of the cannons.

Setting the Streets Ablaze + Formula 2010s Prologue

After her celebration of her Horizon GT crown, she decided to take her own car which her own Lamborghini creation, a 688 horsepower Lamborghini Huracan which she called the LP690-4 Superleggera Velocita Project 14, she decided to cruise around in the streets to calm herself after 15 long fought races to win the title despite being tied on points to Danger. She had her favourite song to play on her favourite station while she was cruising through the streets of Velocity City.

“It’s time for me… to set the streets ablaze.” Aria announced to herself as the wheels spewed green and purple coloured smoke matched the summer dress she was wearing. It was like Crimsonia’s but it had flame designs rather than dragons. Like Crimsonia, she also had dragon tattoo on her shoulders, but to Aria, they had a different meaning behind it. Crimsonia’s dragon tattoos were from her family’s heritage while Aria’s was more as a courage charm and something from the countless O&O campaigns she played in her off days when she wasn’t on track and with Danger being the ‘Oubliette Master’

After about an hour, she gets a call on her car dashboard. It was from Crimsonia.

“Hi Aria.” Crimsonia greeted.

“Hey, Crimsy!” Aria greeted back. “What’s going on back at the outpost?”

“Well, Aria… there is another championship taking place here. Your car will be ready for you when you come back to the outpost.” Crimsonia explained.

“What are we racing this time?” Aria asked.

“Well…” Crimsonia replied. “We are going to race classic F1 cars or Formula Equestria cars in our world. They are from 2010 to 2013 and are homologated to the Horizon GP regulations. Also… there will be androids that look like humans in the races too.”

“What am I driving?”

“You’ll see when you get there.” Crimsonia said. “See you at the outpost. Bye!”

After Crimsonia ended decided to do a U-turn back to the direction of the outpost where car was ready for here.

Her Lamborghini started to slide through the city, nearly covering the entirety of Velocity City in green and purple smoke along the way and listening to her favourite song with the word ‘blaze’ in the lyrics as it runs with her surname.

While Aria was heading to the outpost, Danger was making sure that his car, the SF-DGR12 is a good title contender and his cars was sporting the number 3 on the car while his teammate, Viral, was in the number 4. Many people is the outpost were wondering the car were numbered like that. Danger told them that before the hybrid era and the new car rule in 2014, teams were allowed to use older machinery in the races. He also told them that it was the car that came nearly won the 2013 Formula Equestria title from Rainbow Dash and that year’s champion, Oscura Galaxia. Another thing Danger told them was that he was going by the numbering system before 2013 which he thought was super confusing as he couldn’t put the iconic red and white 15 on his car.

Then to Danger’s surprise, there was a car beside Viral’s car. It was a Red Bull RB9 sporting the number 1. The Red Bull RB9 was the very car that Oscura used to win the title ahead of Rainbow and Danger. It also meant that… Oscura Galaxia was at the Horizon Festival and that when the Horizon Festival reaches Danger City she will be competing in the Danger City Horizon GT Championship, hoping to defeat the Velocity City champion, Aria Blaze.

Two seconds later, Danger saw Oscura and… she was wearing a similar outfit to what Blazey was wearing. But in grey, black and blood red. Danger noticed that Oscura was not in her usual ‘max-level angry’ mood. Instead she was a lot kinder and she look like she had been reformed by Twilight ‘The Princess of Speed’ Sparkle.. Or if a crash from a previous race she was in forced her to sympathize with the British Speedfreak.

“You’re in the festival too?” Danger asked shocked.

“Yeah… I thought… since it’s one of my favourite motoring festivals of all time.” Oscura excitedly replied.

“I guess Goodwood Festival of Speed and the Revival doesn’t come close does it?”

“Nope… this festival has everything.” Oscura said. “Fast cars… vintage cars with not so vintage speed and Danger… I’m doing a NASCAR race at the Velocity Park Circuit, 1.8 miles, 100 laps and… I’m inviting you to it. You might like it since your friend Viral is in that race… and I’ve seen your #20 Danger Motorsport liveried Toyota arriving.”

“Is it the 2020 model?” Danger asked.

“Why are you asking that, Dean?” Oscura asked.

“Ever since I saw the 2024 Camry NASCAR model… it’s not as good as the 2020 one… but I noticed Aria is racing the 2024 Mustang which looks awesome and I think the Dark Horse will be amazing to see on the streets.” Danger explained. “ So… you’re saying that you’re inviting me to a NASCAR race… after what you did to me in Bristol a few years ago?”

“Oh yeah… “ Oscura said, remembering the fact she did a symbol and mugged Danger out of a top 10 finish. “So you don’t want to?”

“I’m not saying that, Oscura… I want to do that race, but… AJ was a bit stressed with me a few weeks ago.” Danger replied to Oscura’s question.

“Well I appealed the verdict which was that Dashie was to miss the race at Bristol. I don’t mind racing in Rainbow’s car. I DO mind the reason behind it.” Danger vented.

“So you’re AJ should be the one to miss out on that race.” Oscura said, understanding Danger’s frustration.

Danger nodded.

“Well… I don’t blame you for what you had to endure… and… I got you this…”

Oscura showed Danger the entry list for the Formula 2010s test race.

18 Alice Soulspark, Force India VJM04

19 Samantha Soulspark, Force India VJM04

“Wow… Alice is in this test race?” Danger said, surprised.

“You’ve met her?” Oscura asked.

“Not in 5 months, no.” Danger replied.

“So… just so you are aware, the circuit we are racing on is the same as the Velocity Park 180. It’s 75 miles which is… is…” Oscura said before calculating the number of laps.

“It’s 42 laps, you half-wit”

“Yes, that’s right on the money, Danger.” Oscura exclaimed. “I couldn’t calculate it to save my life”

“How come you calculate your racing expenditures well?” Danger asked.

“That’s got anything but decimals, Dean. Anyways, I’ll see you on the starting grid and I’ll remind you why my RB9 won in Formula Equestria.”

“It’s weird not seeing you wanting to throw me into the Velocity City Beach and bury me alive.”

“Yeah, I’ve changed you know.”

As Oscura leaves to prepare for the test race, Danger prepared in his head the data and the handling characteristics of the SF-DGR12 so he can hopefully avenge Rainbow’s 2013 Formula Equestria title defeat.

Formula 2010s Test Race

“Also Danger…” Oscura said, with another entry list document in her hands, “there is a Formula race with cars from 2000 to 2008… and also custom built cars from that timeframe… and before you ask, they’ve been homologated to Horizon GP regulations. The race itself is being planned on one of the tracks used in the Horizon GT Championship a while ago and… I think you are losing your mind slightly.

Danger pulled a sceptical face.

“Why, Oscura… I’ve been racing for like… a loooooong time and… this may surprise you.” Danger said, ignoring Oscura’s comment if he lost his mind, “I never made a bad career move in my life… Someone will tell me otherwise… then if that is the case, that statement will probably end up with me getting thrown off the Velocity City Grand Harbour.”

“Oh…” Oscura pondered, “well in any case… I’ll show the entry list for who is in the Formula race. Just so you know, that all the cars with have homologated V10s and V8s. ”

Danger had then proceed to have look at the entry list to prove to Oscura that his mind didn’t self-implode on him.

98 Alexandra Swordlight, 2007 McLaren Mercedes-Benz MP4-21

“I guess Rusalka is having a blast from the past.” Danger remarked.

“Why do you say that, Dean?” Oscura asked.

“Well, the MP4-21 was the very car that Rusalka Swordlight made her debut in Formula Equestria in 2007 and what were you doing that year, Oscura?” Danger explained before asking.

“Well… I think I was in the same championship as you… and I saw Danger Motorsport logos on the Audi you were racing in and I was racing with… Peuegot… I think.” Oscura replied trying to recap her career. “I think you were in 2 championships because you decided to go double duty or triple duty for like 7 years, competing in the Equestrian GT Championship, Equestrian Sports Car Championship and the Equestrian Le Mans Seires… because you founded your own team in 2007… you make a lot of memories on Aeris, for over a decade I was not except your rhetoric as the way forward. But after that crash at Blaze City… I realised that you were right… that my rhetoric would only make people feel bad at you. People like Dahlia Nightblaze, my sisters, Anastasia and Tenebrisa never really liked you because of you dominating everything, but what can I say… I’ve learnt that I don’t need my sister’s crap on the radio.”

“Fair enough I guess.” Danger commented.

“Anyway, I’ll be seeing you in the race… ready to get some flashbacks it 2013?” Oscura asked.

“Definetely.” Danger replied.

After all the drivers got into their cars for a 75 mile race on the 1.8 mile circuit with 12 corners that resembles the track used in the streets of Chicago, the race got underway and Oscura got a good start of the line with Danger right behind her. Viral was in 3rd and Adriana in the McLaren was in 4th. The 18 cars cars began circulated the 1.8 mile circuit in a consistent rhythm, putting on a mighty show for the fans to hear the V8 engine beasts of engineering, but it didn’t take long for the race to claim it’s first victim.

While trying to overtake the Lotus of Crimsonia Dragonsfire, Aria tried a move on the final corner which resulted in contact and the front wing on Aria’s Lamborghini to lose the front left end-plate. There was more drama on lap 3 when Starlight Glimmer crashed into the wall after misjudging the exit of turn 6. Before the caution period, Viral had overtaken Danger was now in 2nd place, but she knew that Oscura was in her winning RB9 and the SF-DGR12 was a good car but she realised that her SF-DGR12 didn’t have a Danger Motorsport engine unlike her SF-DGR23, neither did Danger for that matter. They were running on an Italian heart and on lap 8, two laps after the restart. Samantha Soulspark’s engine in her Force India called it quits on her and caused her to retire from the race.

By lap 11 of 42, Oscura was still leading with the Ferrari of Viral chasing her down. Danger was being hounded by the McLaren of Adriana and the Mercedes of Iris Dayspark in 5th place. Sonic was in 7th after Azura passed him the lap prior but that didn’t deter him from getting the place back on lap 13. While this was going on, Viral was now 0.3 seconds adrift from Oscura, heading into the start of the chicane of turns 7 to 9, Viral tried to capitalize on any mistake Oscura may inevitably make. But on lap 15, after two laps of trying to pass Oscura, The second caution came out as Jessica Silverlight’s Lamborghini punted Alicia’s Sauber and both had to go to the pits for new repairs… this was great news for Aria who was 15th after her stop on lap 5 for a new front wing. She expected most of the field to pit for tyres and she was right, 13 of the 16 remaining cars made a pitstop and Aria stayed out as she has fresher tyres and was now into 2nd place behind the Ferrari of Danger who also stayed out.

When the race resumed on lap 18, Danger led from Aria’s Lamborghini and Crimsonia’s Lotus, Oscura was in 4th ahead of Viral, the two McLarens of Sonic and Adriana was 6th and 7th. Twilight Sparkle in the Williams was 8th Iris was 9th and Alice Soulspark in 10th. The race started to the stabilize in terms of chaos and for a lot of laps passed without any drama and Danger was leading the majority until on lap 29 when he got passed Aria who was still in the winning mood after her Horizon GT title victory a few days prior.

By lap 33, it was game, set and match at this point for Danger. Aria’s Lamborghini was showing more and more speed as the laps trickled down more. Danger felt that it was over for him as he stagnated in 2nd place with Oscura’s Red Bull now up into 3rd place after a outside pass on Crimsonia. The only thing that Danger really needed was another caution and with 5 laps to go… something miraculous happened.

Crimsonia, who was trying to retake 3rd place from Oscura, ran wide onto the marbles at turn 11 and crashed into the wall and her race was over. This was what Danger needed as he was nearly 20 seconds adrift from Aria. On lap 41, it was a two lap sprint to the finish. Aria was in the lead, with Danger, Oscura, Sonic and Viral in the top 5. Aria was defending her position from the charging Ferrari. On lap 42… it was pretty much over, Aria crossed the line to win the race with Danger and Oscura completing the podium. Viral came fourth and the McLarens of Adriana and Sonic in 5th and 6th. The two Mercedes of Iris Dayspark and Jasmine Spark were 7th and 8th and Twilight in the Williams was 9th and Alice Soulspark was 10th in the Force India.

150km Le Mans Sports Car Race at the Astralight Loop

After the test race, Danger headed to the Outpost where, as he was walking into the sound of Crimsonia listening to Love Song on her ear plugs which to Danger, reminded him of a song that Crimsonia’s band Crimson Firestorm made which was called ‘Live in a Firestorm’. Danger also noticed she was sitting on a Dragonsfire Motors Zealastrasza.

The Zealastrasza was Crimsonia’s 60s prototype she had planned for a 150km race on the Astralight Loop. Taken inspiration from the Lotus Type 40, the Zealastrasza had more curved front shape which was inspired by both the Porsche 908 and the 917 K models. Powering the 885kg car was a 1.6 litre turbo engine developing 300 horsepower. Unlike the Type 40, the Zealastrasza was a close cockpit car, the exhausts were at the bottom of the car rather than on a 45 degree angle and the engine was covered.

Danger saw the blue Zealastrasza with the number 36 in a white circle, while Crimsonia’s was black with the number 35. At least he knew that his friends were learning from the man who was designing race cars and sports cars for more than 20 years. He then saw multiple Ferrari 330 P4s with the numbers, 20 through to 23 and the car he will be using is a Ferrari 512 M with the red 15 on a white circle.

“I get the feeling I have the one with the red number because the green number is Aria’s and the blue one is Sonic’s.” Danger thought as he looked at the entry list for the 150km race on the 3.13 kilometer course in a few hours from now.

Danger knew that there were some beautiful cars like the . The British Lion climbed into the 512M and went out on track to set a lap to get a nice comfortable position for the race.

“Time to drive into a blast into the past… not from it.” Danger said, while heading into the track.

Danger also realised that his son and daughter, Danny Dean and Astral Dash were also in the race piloting red and green coloured Ferrari 512S cars. Despite the 512M being nearly 19 miles per hour than the S, the speed didn’t really matter to him as it was the corners that will help him cruise to victory. When the race started, Danny retained into to turn but Viral had slotted into the 2nd after passing the #5 512M of Sonic Flash, behind Danger was a tight battle between the 512S of Aurora Blitz and the 917K of Beatrice Radiance. The 4.9 liter flat-12 powered 917 was all over the back the 5 liter V12 powered 512M, from the left to right, trying to pick the right moment to overtake the daughter of Aria Blaze.

Meanwhile, Aria had passed both Zealastrazas to climb up to 10th, despite being in a slower car compared to Aurora, Aria knew that within time, something may go wrong for the top 3. By lap 6, Danny pulled off a 2 second lead from Viral as the M variant of the 512 Prototype cars were beginning to struggle. One lap later at turn 7 hairpin, Sonic’s Ferrari was out with a broken clutch after it was over-exerted from battling with Aurora. After Sonic’s car was retrieved to the garage, the race continued on lap 10. Danny held on from Viral but the presence of the #54 Ferrari of Aurora was giving the V12 of Viral’s car more works.

As Danger’s 512M was drowing in terms of speed, it allowed Beatrice to take 5th place. This didn’t bother Danger much because the #21 of Selena Sinderlight wasn’t putting much of a fight for his position, while Calliope was fighting her own battle with Aria Blaze which by lap 12 was no contest. No much happened for 10 laps with occasional passing in bottom half of the leaderboard until on lap 20 when Astral went into the pits to fill up her radiator, she got back out in 5th place with Danny Dean still leading from Viral and with Aurora now in 3rd place and Beatrice’s Porsche in 4th.

On lap 23, the next two cars to retire was the #3 Porsche of Olivia Bonelight and the #97 Porsche of Rusalka Swordlight. Both drivers were not at fault because it was revealed by the time race restared on lap 27, the brakes on Rusalka’s 917K had faded into non existence with caused her to cannon into the back of Olivia’s 917K at the turn 4 hairpin. From lap 29, the race was rather quiet until the next phase of chaos started to turn asunder as Danger’s brakes caught fire on lap 35 in pure Italian fashion. Luckily for Danger, the race had neutralized by the time he flew out the car to escape the flames.

With 10 laps to go, it was Danny who had lead from lap 1, almost unopposed, Aurora Blaze was 2nd, Viral 3rd, Astral in 4th and Beatrice in 5th. By the time the 15 remaining cars completed 9 corners of lap 39, Danny was 1.1 seconds ahead of Aurora. Lap 43, he was 1.4 seconds ahead and by lap 45, Aurora was starting to close in on Danny. With 2 laps to go, Astral and Viral were waiting for the most opportune time to punch on both Aurora and Danny. With 2 corners to go. Aurora tried to overtake Danny but it was no use for her. Danny crossed the line to win the race, Astral completed the podium after a late move on Viral, Beatrice finished 5th, Aria was 6th, Calliope was 7th, Crimsonia and Azura who both had uneventful races were 8th and 9th respectively and Selena Sinderlight finished the top 10 placings.

Velocity City Horizon GT Championship II (Round 1 - 50 miles of Velocity Gardens)

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

Velocity City Horizon GT Championship II (Round 2 - 50 miles of Velocity High Thunder Loop)

With Rainbow looking confident in her new Aston Martin Vantage GT3, she hoped that the next 8 rounds would be just as easy as the round in Velocity Gardens. But very quickly, she realised that nothing is guaranteed in racing as competitive as the Horizon GT Championship, even in the shakedown session where she was as a bit slow on the straights of Ocean View Boulevard. But as she went out for her qualifying session she hope to make it two wins out of two.

But it won’t be easy for her.

As the 20 cars parked on Angelfire Broadway for 30 laps of what the 1.63 mile course had to over in race conditions. The ‘GO’ on the electronic monitor is displayed and Danger takes an early lead with Viral and Onyx behind. It was a Duumvirate 1-2 as they blasted by onto New Tyrana Street before head onto the main part of the circuit, Ocean Avenue Boulevard. Danger, who was still leading, realised that the course would be 1.6 miles if the chicanes weren’t on the track map. Hailey Banefire moved up to 5th place as she used the slipstream to her advantage for her Huracan GT3 EVO II.

Lap 3, the track claimed it’s first victim as Gabrielle’s engine produced less power as it crawled to the pits. It took until Danger started his 4th lap for her to get back out and by that time, she was in 20th, despite Azura’s Ferrari not being as fast as it was at Velocity Gardens. The top 5 by lap 5 was Danger, Viral, Onyx, Hailey and Rainbow and with Viral being 1.5 seconds adrift, Danger begin to get calm as he was in the right place (in his mind).

On lap 8, Aria had overtaken Danny at turn 7, which was the exit of the second chicane, by using the same slipstream method her Lamborghini compatriot, Hailey used on both Rainbow and Sonic. Things weren’t as smooth for Aria’s daughter, Aurora, howeveras at the start of the race, she got jumped off the line by both Kaci and Rusalka. But by the 10th lap, she started to regain some of the acceleration deficit she originally lost on the first lap. She passed both Rusalka and Kaci was now back into 7th place.

The race was relatively calm aside from the occasional body panel tapping and the lesser rare braking zone misjudgements on a track so short as the High Thunder Loop. However on lap 17, Crimsonia crashed out after her brakes decided to fail and she ploughed into the turn 8 tire wall. The race resumed on lap 21 after the repairs had finished… and in record time in Danger’s mind. Danger thoughts got the better of him and he lost the lead to Viral at turn 1 but at the approach to the boulevard, he went into the inside, saw the opportunity to pass… and made it stick.

With 5 laps to go, the top 10 was, Danger, Viral, Onyx, Hailey, Aurora, Rainbow, Sonic, Oscura, Rusalka and Kaci and by lap 29, it would largely stay that way up until Hailey made the pass on Onyx at the final corner. As Danger crossed the line to win the race, Viral was 2nd and Hailey finished the podium, 4th was Onyx, 5th was Rainbow, Aurora was 6th, Sonic was 7th, Oscura was 8th, Rusalka was 9th and Kaci was 10th.

Velocity City Horizon GT Championship II (Round 3 - 50 miles of Solar Point Boulevard Circuit)

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.

#72 Gabrielle Sharklight, Chevrolet Corvette Z06 GT3R, 1:10.085

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.

Forza DangerVerse Sports Car Series Test Race - 150 miles of Solar Point Boulevard

Before the fourth race of the championship, Danger was updating a telemetry log for his 296 GT3 on a laptop. He was hoping to extend his 6 point lead over Viral. But before Danger continuedHailey entered the outpost and she was wearing a black Toyota Gazoo Racing shirt over a black, white and red shorts with black tights and pink Iron Dames themed sneakers.

“Hey, Danger… do you mind if I tell you something?” Hailey asked.

“Not at all, Hailey, what’s on your mind?” Danger replied while looking at the laptop and tapping the keys.

“You know the multistage race at the Redhaven Loop, well it’s gonna be delayed because 2 of the roads for the circuit both had fire hydrants burst and there was more water than track officials thought.” Hailey explained.

“OK then…” Danger sighed, slightly miffed at the delay.

“However…” Hailey continued, “there is something that might catch your interest. There is a race planned on the circuit we raced on recently… and I have been preparing my Toyota Supra in between races.”

“That might explain why you’re wearing that shirt.” Danger said, referring to the Toyota Gazoo Racing shirt.

“Most likely. You know there is one driver I fear in this race.” Hailey announced in concern.

“Who?”

“Michiko. She has a similar setup to my Supra, she has the same engine as me, same HKS wide body modification, same everything. She might overtake me and leave me for dead.” Hailey explained.

“Michiko…” Danger thought, “I’ve seen her race in the Equestrian Super GT Series with a Toyota Supra GT3 in GT3 Pro, she might be a formidable driver but we have more experience.

Hailey sighed.

“I should hope so, but I will warn you, she is not an easy driver to pass as it happened with me in the past. She won’t go easy on either of us.” Hailey said.

After Hailey left, Danger continued to think about the driver Hailey was talking about, Michiko Sakuralight.

Michiko had been racing in the Equestrian Super GT Series for many years, first with Lexus from 2017 to 2020 and then Toyota from 2021 onwards. She had also won the GT3 Pro class in 2018, 2021, 2022 and 2024. She was also a Toyota factory driver and had been testing cars since 2016.

Michiko’s Supra, the car that Hailey mentioned, had the same 5 liter 2UR-GSE V8 engine used in Lexus’ cars like the RC F, IS 500 and LC500. Even Hailey’s Supra had a 2UR-GSE, the only difference is that Michiko’s was tuned to near-perfection. She managed to do a 0 to 60 in just under 3 seconds which that if it started last at the start, it would mostly likely be in 2nd place by the second lap.

There was also some other drivers that Danger needed to be aware of, for example, Elizabeth Bloodrose’s #147 Lotus Evora GT430, the #76 and #79 2024 Ford Mustang GTs of Melissa Ravenlight and Selena Sinderlight, Apple Lauda’s Dodge Viper and Calliope ‘The Asphalt Reaper’ Thunderscythe’s Chevrolet Corvette.

Danger’s car was a Ferrari 296 GTB and like Viral’s, it had a GT3-style body kit on it but it was more nimble and agile compared it’s GT3 counterpart. After a while of clearing his mind of the water flooding the streets of the Redhaven Loop, he decided to give the race a go and see if he and Hailey and can finish ahead of Michiko.

As the 29 cars lined up on the start line for 70 laps. Danger lined up on the front row and behind was someone who he called ‘the Destroyer of Nurburgring lap times’, Apple Lauda, piloting the #942 Dodge Viper GTS in yellow with Nurburgring stickers all over the Viper. Hailey in the Supra was in 7th place while her rival, Michiko was down in 16th place behind Selena’s Mustang.

When the fifth light flashed, Apple Lauda shot into the lead with Sonic and Viral behind. Lauda began to scythe through the corners as the Eifel Gods was on his side as he prayed to them before the race. Whichever god Danger prayed to must have been a work of fiction as by turn 4, he was behind Rusalka Swordlight in the 992 GT3 RS. Danger atriuted this to a wheelspin start and with Banefire’s Supra trying to keep his son at bay. Danger hoped that the race would be stress-free.

On lap 3, Viral overtook Sonic at turn 4 and was now behind the Viper, Viral hoped that if the 800-plus horsepower V6 allowed, the 8.4 liter V10 in the Viper would play catch up to the Swiss Army Knife. Meanwhile Danger overtook Rusalka as he found the speed he lost at the start. 3 laps later, meanwhile. The Supra of Miranda Owllight was in the top 20 after overtaking Trisha and Valkyrie. Crimsonia was trying to overtake the ‘Scarlet Speedfreak’ Elizabeth Bloodrose. Elizabeth was running a livery that was inspired by one of Danger’s newfound favourite influencers on her Lotus Evora. Despite the Emira running a Dragonsfire Racing sourced 2.5 liter I5. It was no match for the Evora and being a more modern car.

With 10 laps complete, the race would claim it’s first victim as the Katie Aqualight’s Supra had a miss-fire on the 3.5 liter V6 and was slowing to a crawl, she and Miranda were running the V6 Supras compared Hailey in 5th place and Michiko in 12th. The pitstop relegated her to 28th place as the Danger City-built Mitsubishi Lancer Evo. XI refuelled on lap 8 as Kaela had a fuel misread. This indicated that not all of Danger’s cars are perfect.

With lap 15 in full force. Apple Lauda was leading from Viral Velocity in the Ferrari 296 GTB, Sonic Flash in the 2025 Aston Martin Vantage, Rusalka Swordlight in the 992 GT3 RS after Danger ran wide into turn 7. Hailey Banefire’s Supra was in 6th, Manic Speed in the #45 Aston Martin and Beatrice in the #91 Porsche are 7th and 8th with Michiko’s Supra in 9th and Gabrielle Sharkfire in 10th. Meanwhile, the #47 Ferrari 488 GTB of Roxanne Pantherfire had to retire from the race due to a gearbox issue. 3 laps later, the #241 Alpine of Selena Valkyrie also had a gearbox problem of it’s own and she had to retire.

On lap 23, the fans checked the leaderboard and to saw something impressive.

The fans couldn’t believe what they were seeing. In the span of 22 laps, Michiko had climbed from 15th position to now 1.5 seconds within reach of Hailey Banefire. Despite telling Danger before the race about her pace in times in the Equestrian GT Championship when she raced with Michiko, it felt as if history is repeating itself for her. As the laps trickled down, Hailey had increased her gap to Michiko from 1.5 seconds to 3 seconds as Hailey’s Supra had a softer anti-sway bar at the front compared to Michiko’s Supra. Meanwhile, Danger passed Sonic at turn 3 as the Ferrari and Aston Martin blitzed the highway section and at some points, side by side as they head to turn 5. Danger performed the switchback and maintained 3rd place.

By lap 29, the small decrease of speed from Rusalka meant that Hailey’s Supra was now within striking of the Porsche. As they approach turn the S-bends of turns 8 to 11. The Porsche was way quicker in the corners, but the Supra was more faster in a straight line with the sacrifice of a few tenths on the corners. Even though Hailey was about 4 seconds ahead of Michiko, she knew that Michiko was going to benefit from the battle for 5th place. At the start of lap 30, the Supra blasted by at turn to take 5th place from Rusalka. Hailey’s overtake could not have come at a better time as the Safety Car was out after the #182 Subaru WRX STI S209 of Valkyrie Schmidt was parked at awkward place after a collision with the turn 8 wall. This was music to the ears of Danger Dean, because was 23 seconds back from Viral when the Safety Car came out.

At the halfway point of the race. Viral had taken the lead at turn 2 with Apple Lauda and Danger Dean behind. Sonic was 4th place ahead of Rusalka and the two Supras of Michiko and Hailey in 5th and 6th. Despite showing some signs of exhaustion after her battle with Apple Lauda, Viral was can now relax as the gap between herself and Lauda was now 2 seconds. Meanwhile, Selena was now up into 12th place after benefiting from the Safety Car period. She was now heading towards the Evora of Elizabeth. The ‘Aria City Hellhound’ was trying every trick in her book to make sure to pass the Evora. But the engine that was swapped in Elizabeth’s car was sourced by Dragonsfire Motors and it was a similar engine to Katie and Miranda’s Supra.

With 30 laps to go on lap 41, the gap between Viral and Lauda was now 5 seconds even though the exhaustion was incrementing, but not too much to make Viral lose focus. Danger was defending from Sonic while the two V8 powered Supras of Michiko and Hailey were locking in a really big battle and turn 8 on lap 43 to turn 3 on lap 46, the two were side by side and at some points, they would trade paint, making the fans even more excited as the two GT racing giants were giving them something unforgettable.

Despite his Aston Martin compatriot, Manic Speed retiring on lap 49 due to a loss of power steering, Sonic was still in 4th place and trying to overtake Danger but the Ferrari was tough to overtake, especially if it was driven by Danger Dean. Eventually on lap 53, Sonic managed to get 3rd place at turn 4 but a error on the highway exit at turn 6 meant that Danger swooped past the Aston Martin to reclaim 3rd.

Danger was now 3 seconds behind Apple Lauda as he started to get a bit of a rhythm going after passing Sonic on lap 53. On lap 56 however, the battle that was originally for 2nd place was now for the lead as Viral pulled into the pits for fresh tires on her 296 GTB. For Danger and Lauda, this was it. With 11 laps to go, Lauda began to extend the gap he had on Danger so that when lap 61 began, he was now 5 seconds ahead. With Viral dropping to behind the two Supra’s who are now 5 seconds apart from each other. But with a refreshed mind and fresh tires, she was began to cruise to the end.

With 6 laps to go, Danger had reduced the gap to 3.5 seconds to Apple Lauda and then with 3 laps to go on lap 68. Danger had fallen a bit and was now 4.1 seconds back. But then, a question began to surface.

How much fuel do Apple Lauda have?

As Apple Lauda approached turn 1 to start lap 69, he realised that he only had about 2 laps of fuel left, whereas Danger had about 8 laps of fuel left as he had made a tactical pit stop when Valkyrie Schmidt had crashed out. By turn 6, Danger was cutting down Apple Lauda’s lead to 3.8 seconds. He knew that with Apple Lauda conserving fuel, he was losing at most 4 seconds with 2.5 seconds being the minimum. On the last lap, Danger made up another 1.6 seconds as he approached turn 2. Danger was beginning to multitask. Praying to the racing gods and driving at the same time. By the time Danger and Lauda reached turn 6, the Ferrari was 1.4 seconds back and when the got to start-finish straight…

Danger had a nose in front to take the win.

“Sweet Celestia, that was close… that was stressful!” Danger said, out of breath.

Sonic finished in 3rd place, Hailey was 4th, Michiko was 5th and 1st in the ST-1 Pro-Am class. Viral was 6th, Rusalka was 7th, Danny finished 8th, Elizabeth was 9th and Selena Sinderlight finished 10th.

After the race, Apple Lauda was quick to talk to Danger.

“I’ll be honest with you, Danger. I was literally on my last lap of fuel when we were on the last lap.”

“To be honest with you, mate. I didn’t know how much I was gaining on you till about like 2 laps to the finish. I thought you had like 5 or 6 laps of fuel, I had about 7.” Danger replied.

“Well it was a blast racing with you, I’ll look forward to the next GT3 exhibition race. You name the city, I’ll be there.” Apple Lauda said, while patting Danger’s shoulder.

When he got back to the outpost, Danger thought to himself that the racing gods was on his side and with the roads for the Redhaven Loop now dry from the fire hydrants bursting. He knew the championship was back on.

Velocity City Horizon GT Championship (Round 4 - Race 10-12)

Lightning Dust was a little bit jealous over the fact that Viral and Danger were walking with the championship, tied on points with 134 points each and something was running rampant in the Washout’s mind. It appeared that the Gallardo Super Trofeo was not as completive to the Huracan Super Trofeo Aria was driving. Dust decided to the upgrade to the Huracan Super Trofeo in attempt to increase her score of 11. Flash did the same thing, swapping his DBR9 to a 2017 V12 Vantage GT3 and Sayori followed suit by replacing her 911 GT3 RSR to a 2017 911 RSR. Even Becky Blitz replaced her Ferrari for a Super Trofeo Lamobrghini.

As the 16 cars headed for Twin Bridge Boulevard Loop… Lightning was now on track with her new Huracan. The question was, did Lightning’s choice pay off?

It did.

“Well… my gamble paid off I think.” Lightning Dust said to herself as was looking thorough the timing sheet. The fact that she was in the top 5 and out qualifying the British Speedfreak did tickle her a bit. But 13 laps of racing awaits the 16 drivers and with Danger and Viral on 134 points each. Kaci on 132 points and Aria with 128 points, it meant that the top 4 has a chance of the title.

By the time the 16 headed to the hairpin turn 5 on the first lap, there was a bit of contact and resulted in Rainbow Dash spinning out and dropping to 16th place. After a few overtakes, Rusalka was up 8th place and on lap 3, she blitzed past both Manic Speed and Sayori Blitz and was now chasing Danger who had been overtaken by Sonic Flash.

On lap 6, Viral was trying to overtake Kaci but her Chevrolet was way faster in the corners and with Aria set to take her 3rd win in a row. The pressure was building for Viral as her Ferrari was starting to strain in performance. What didn’t help her was Lightning Dust’s Lamborghini was closing in and it would be a matter of time before Lightning overtakes.

With 2 laps to go, Danger managed to somehow overtake Sonic and with Beatrice spinning out before the first bridge, It was more bearable for the ‘Crimson Lions’ cheering Danger on. He tried to push but the top 3 had already finished the race. So he had to settle for 5th after Lightning crossed the line. Rusalka and Sayori was 6th and 7th. Manic and Adriana were 8th and 9th. the Lionfire sisters and Becky Blitz finished the top 12.

At the end of the first race. Aria, Kaci and Viral were now tied with 148 points and Danger dropped to 4th in the standings. Danger knew he needed to pull something off in the next two races and in race two… he timed the start to perfection and blasted into the lead before turn one

As the second race progressed, not much happened until on lap 6… disaster struck for Kaci.

Kaci’s engine, which was running a beautiful job since the beginning, decided to cease in protest of Kaci’s heroics and that meant on lap 8 she was out of the top 12 and she would need to repair the engine before the final round.

Meanwhie on lap 11, both Lightning and Manic spun whilst in a battle for 3th place after Sonic overtook them both on lap 9. As Danger won the race with Aria and Sonic on the podium. Rusalka and Viral were 4th and 5th. Lightning, Sayori, Manic, Adriana, Blazey, Sparky and Rainbow.

Danger’s win meant that he was now tied with Aria on 164 points and with Kaci out of the next race. It was a bit more relaxing for Danger as he went out for race 3. At the start of race, the cars from 6th to 8th collided to each other with benefited the Jaguar of Adriana Novalight and the two Corvettes of the Lionfire sisters.

Up front. Aria was still challenging for lead with Viral finding the speed she originally lost in race 2. As both Danger and Aria had 3 wins apiece. It was down to whoever was fastest in the corners. But it wasn’t either of them, or Viral. It was Adriana Novalight. Having benefited from the lap 1 shenanigans from Lightning Dust. She was now in 5th place and challenging for 4th from Rusalka Swordlight.

As the lap trickled down, Adriana passed Rusalka and the fans were going crazy. They didn’t expect Adriana’s Jaguar to be in the top 5 or even overtaking a Formula Equestria champion. After a tangle from both Danger and Aria, Viral allowed herself to overtake both of them as she went flying thorough the corners. Even Adriana Novalight was trying to get her first Horzion GT podium since Astral City in 2021.

As Viral won the race, Danger finished in 2nd and… Adriana finished 3rd. Aria was 4th, Rusalka was 5th, Blazey, Sparky, Rainbow, Becky, Lightning, Manic and Sayori finished the top 12.
