Lights lighted up in front of them. Red. Yellow. Yellow. Green! The MC spoke in vigor on the mic, "And this is it! Will strength of numbers able to beat strength of hefty power? Find out together!"

Turns descriptions:
Turn 1: "Castrol corner" is a 90 degree high speed left-hander.
Turn 2: "The Rabbits Ear" is a double apex sweeper
Turn 3/4: "The Omega" is an uphill and downhill section with camber change, this is the most technical segment of the layout
Turn 5: A quick left-hander that sets up for the fastest sections of the track
Turn 6: "Monroe Ridge" is a gradual bump. It is common for fast riders on higher powered motorcycles to lift the front wheel over this downhill section. A good line and drive through this turn is essential for a good lap time.
Turn 7: "Repass Pass" - a slight bend in the track.
Turn 8: High speed right hand corner. The lead in to this turn is the fastest section of the racetrack and coupled with the turn itself - probably the most critical for a good lap time. It is also the fastest turn on any racetrack west of the Mississippi River.
Turn 9: Decreasing radius right hander, with a big dip right before the apex. A good line through this turn is crucial for top speed on the front straightway to the start/finish line.

"And off they go heading fast to the first turn, Castrol corner! Let's see how they tackle it." MC said. Shizaki was racing right behind Chu-Chu, he plans on attacking her position to gain the lead. As they went into the turn, Chu-Chu defended the inside line and her position, preventing Shizaki to overtake. "Dang, she knows how to race." Shizaki muttered.
All rides left the second turn, The Rabbits Ear, afterwards. Whoosh! They created pleasing music from their engine and tyres' traction. Shizaki's front attached to Chu-chu's rear. "It was easy for them to advance from The Rabbits Ear. They're heading to the complicated segment, The Omega!" Speakers enthused.
Shizaki's heavy Plymouth struggled to maneuver the elevation change of the omega, and the 4WD of Chu-Chu's Escort pulled her even further in the lead. Shizaki let Eve overtake him with her nimble 4WD Focus, chasing after Chu-Chu.
Talker reported, "Yo! A Grip Runner is being chased by Bushidos! Chu-Chu is reaching Monroe Ridge, where accuracy is key to pass well. Can she do it?" Skeet! Vroom! Her diamond Ford Escort swayed right to the 6th turn. Unfortunately, she braked late. Her locomotive slingshot to the outer corner. Eve's orange Ford Focus snatched her position and went to the first position. If Chu-Chu pushed the brake pedal half a second earlier.
"Way to go!" I cheered as we watched the race. "Well played, let's see if you can keep the lead." Chu-Chu muttered. They went through the slight bend of repass pass, with Chu-Chu attempting attack on Eve's position. Eve seems to be confused and dazed by Chu-Chu's aggressive movements.
They entered turn 8, where Chu-Chu still aggressively puts pressure on Eve by staying right behind her and keep attempting attack. "Yes! Chiyu are getting her podium back, everybody! We shall cheer on her," The mic man persuaded the horde. WOOOOOOOO! EEEEEEOOOO! Every roar pushed Chu-Chu a centimetre forward. As Eve and Chu-Chu were maintaining balance while increasing speed limits, a Lexus IS200 stapled with stickers cut their argument. "Oh! Another one joins in!" commented the host.
"Kokoro! Please help!" Eve cried. "I'll give it my all!" Kokoro responded. Kokoro now puts the pressure on Chu-Chu. Kokoro pushed her Lexus to its limits. Its now a chain of Eve-ChuChu-Kokoro. They entered turn 9 and they're still tail to tail. On the straight away, Kokoro used the advantage of her cars superior performance and sped up. She eventually took the inside line and overtook Chu-Chu by turn 1. 1 lap has passed out of 3. "Wow, they're really putting up a fight, but can they fight this?!" Chu-Chu flipped a little switch on her dashboard, which is a button that removes her rev limit, heightening her car's speed and acceleration. She immediately caught up to Kokoro.
"What the heck?! How is her car suddenly fast?!" Kokoro exclaimed. She pushed her car to its limits. "Ah, no good! She's catching up!" Chu-Chu is now side by side with Kokoro. Turn by turn they raced, with Kokoro desperately defending her position from Chu-Chu's attacks. "Argh! Out of the way!" Chu-Chu muttered.
A spokesperson on top of a tower screamed, "Chu-Chu wins the first lap! These Bushidos still have their opportunities to conquer the competition!" Second lap consisted of Kokoro's Lexus IS 200 and Chu-Chu's Ford Escort violent fight. They switched role to get in inner turns. This game made me wanted to hijack Kokoro's car, rammed that Escort to shut it down. "C'mon, c'mon..." My hands trembled. "Don't worry, as long as Eve keeps that lead, we're good." Hana assured me.
Turn by turn, the battle for 2nd place continues. Kasumi is drafting behind Chu-Chu in fourth place, slowly creeping up on her, in the search for the perfect moment to attack.
But... "Arrrgh! NOOO!" My radio nearly cracked my eardrums in Kokoro's voice. I looked to a screen in my pit. A confusing Lexus stopped, with its front faced towards the opposite direction of the track. "Ooh! Better be aware! Monroe Ridge only likes precise contestants," the screen told me. The lady murmured, "I really took the L in this Lexus..."
"Don't worry, just work your pace back upstairs, catching up to those other racers shouldn't be a hassle." I commanded. "Right, alright, off i go!" The Lexus blasts back to the asphalt. Its now up to Kasumi and Eve to defend Bushido's position from Chu-Chu's vicious attacks. When they were battling in the final lap, Chu-Chu sniffed a burn . "What is that smell?" She wondered. Suddenly, a clattering noise was heard from the Escort's engine. Then slowly, the Escort slowed to a halt, with a warning in Chu-Chu's monitor board inside: "Warning, Gearbox terminal damage."
CLINK! CLANK! CLONK! Ford Escort were generating weird and dangerous noise. Its left door opened and whoop! The small driver rolled to the ground right before the clanking Escort settled down. With the damaged machinery inside, BOOM! That shining diamond was covered in fire.
Chu-Chu sat there, watching as her Escort gets engulfed in flames. "Well i guess another one bites the dust." Chu-Chu muttered. In a minute, her pit crew rolled out her spare car, a Ford RS500, but it was too late, she ended up in 5th place.
