no
Had the mistake of all time, a 5-seater coupe, would be a pain if drivers were to rotate whilst moving in the car.
Terso is well known for its calm and arty atmosphere but the peacefulness has been broke yesterday with a car chase between an unknown sliver sedan and 2 black sedans with Archanan plates. Witnesses have seen the car chase have caused significant property damage on several locations including coffee shops and restaurants nearby. Reports have found that all occupants on both Archanan cars are dead or badly injured during the chase. Also, unknown sources that claimed that Ariyan agents were involvedâŠ
The Gasmean Daily
8 days before race day
7:00 PM
Somewhere in Atrilla, Frunia
The team has arrived at Atrilla, a quiet village about 150 miles west from Terso. Atrilla is well known for its wine and pastry. And probably some place for the operations of the Ariyan agents. At arrival the team left the car and entered the safehouse.
By that point, you all are expecting some fancy sci-fi surprise of a super secret base with loads of stuff, but surprise, nope, itâs just some random safehouse with nothing you expected from the things like the ones from Bond or Bourne.
Hana and Forzudo went on to a nearby table and talked about the race. At the same time Chozo is outside buying dinner for the team, which is probably stuff from the local fast food chains.
âH: Ok, let me get this straight, weâre going to stay low in this area for like a week, and get more info for the race, cops and shit?â
âF: Yes. But remember that weâre probably lost the times for the fuckinâ registrations asâŠâ
Hana then showed Forzudo a email on her phone, which are the registrations of their team with false names.
F: âYou sweet young lady. With the registrations done, we could start the planning for the team. I think the [REDACTED] and the local cops are all finding us, so we need to stay low, until the day comes.â
Meanwhile, Chozo came back with some stuff bought from a local KFC. And some information about the car.
C: âWell, I have 2 news, one good one bad. The bad news is we would probably need to survive from this shit as I canât see anything else nearby. But the good news, hah, thatâs an important one. Weâre going to see the car in 5 days time.â
F: âSo, 5 days? Not bad, huh. That just means everything is going to be on time when the race begins. Any news for the [REDACTED] yet, Hana?â
H: âNope, as for today. [REDACTED] is still on Terso, for now.â
F: âJust keep an eye of it until any news come. Iâm pretty sure [REDACTED] will only start before the race, as they are still unwary of the situation right now.â
With the information of the vehicle, the target and other stuff settled, the team started their work to check the situations of everything related to the event. And [REDACTED], ofc.
After that, the team had a small conversation about the smaller things, and the car. All three of them agreed to use the number â64â as the teamâs race number, and they also chose the own roles for the race.
In world news, both Archana and Ariya is on a possible brink of war as both countries are steadily preparing for a conflict. Recent movements by both countries have claimed that the Ariyan and the Archanan armed forces are bolstering their armies and deploying their latest weapons on the borders. Besides that, the Archanan minister of defence saying the country âis ready for a potential war against anyone against themâ in a recent event.

Car Backstory, Part 1
Amber had been searching on the web for a car for 6 hours. It was 11PM in NYC, and she was tired. Just as she was about to shut off her laptop, she spied something interesting- good condition (from the pictures), decent size, fit all the rules⊠It was pretty far away, and it seemed kinda pricey, but they should at least check it out. They can always leave and get something elseâŠ
Team Drippy Splotches Backstory Part 2
Warning: I am horrible at these kinds of writings, read a your own risk.
All four were packed into Amberâs S.T. Herman, putting along the lonely hiway to West Virginia. Amber had showed them the picture the seller sent them that morning:
Overpriced as fuck at 13.5K
âItâs too much money,â said Peter. âNo, no it isnât. It was a success when exported to Mongolia. Itâll be right at home.â replied Amber. Mariah and Tommy were already asleep. âIs it realy a good thing? Poland isnât really known for good cars.â Amber sighed. âWere almost there, might as well take a look.â
The gang got out and walked to the run down storage lot which prersumably had their car. Tommy laughed. âSketchy. Smells like he got the stuff.â
They spotted an entrance to a path, which had a sign on it reading â1979 ABRAHAM FD12 SEDAN FOR SALEâ. The path twisted through a maze of sheds to a woodland trail, leading through the forest out the other end to a highway lot.
The car was in a corner in between two old, rusted out trucks. It was unlocked. Peter got in and was about to start it when he saw that it was out of fuel. He shifted into neutral, got out, and helped Mariah push it to the middle of the lot where they could get a better look. Under the hood was a fuel-injected Jargl SOHC âYellowbirdâ 4-banger displacing a little under 1200cc, sending power to the front wheels through a 5-speed manual. The car was in bad condition. It was in a different color, it had heavy rust underneath, and had splotches of blue and orange spray paint in various places on the bodywork. âThis paint is disgusting.â whispered a scowling Mariah. âIt smells funny. I like the drippy orange and blue splotches.â blurted Tommy. Peter chuckled. âAh yes, Team Drippy Splotches, driving car number 69, the Drizzle. This car is a shitbox, letâs leave. Itâs not the same color and probably isnât even a 1979.â
Amber had been checking the VIN. âIt seems to be the right trim and year, maybe it was an old picture? I agree with Peter, we should leave.â âNot so fast.â A low voice with a thick Czech accent broke into the conversation. Peter turned around and saw a young man, maybe 5â 10" in a dark cloak stared back, cigarette in hand. âYou take the car, you give me euros. Five hundred and thirteen thousand. Is good? Is good. Give now, have car.â
âWe donât want it.â, remarked Peter, who was starting to stand up. âYou take, you give. Euros. Now.â

For lore writing: where in Frunia is the race starting?
2016
SOMEWHERE IN ĂVERTORNEĂ
KOMMUN, TORNE RIVER VALLEY, SWEDEN
ANDREAS: Where the f⊠did you get this goddamned Barbiemobile, and why? Just why?
JANNE: Why do you always have to ask so many strange questions? It was cheap and it was under 1200 cc.
A: 1200 damn cc? Thatâs barely enough for a leafblower!
J: Well, it is the limit for this Fruinia to Archana rally thing, so what did you expect me to do? Take the torch to cut away all cylinders except for one from my Deer and Hunt?
MARIE: Itâs a goddamned Saarland. They have been sucky since they quit making the Kardinal.
A: Yes, and you can tell from the name InterCity that they are for fâŠks sake made for city driving by the dumbfuck city nerds.
J: Trust me. Have I ever made a bad decision before?
A, M: UhmâŠHOW ABOUT YES?
J: Well, stop your blabbering and start working on this car, we donât have the time for this goddamned arguing about everything!
Some hours later it looked like this. Modifications include:
- Hockey pucks under the springs to raise the suspension
- Chubbier tyres and whitespoke wheels found on an Urabus Trab in the junkyard
- Alternator killing amount of auxilliary lights
- Bull bar welded under the influence of booze
- Mirrors from a Hillstrom Limerock, nobody knows why but it seemed like a good idea at the moment
- Roof rack
- PVC pipe snorkel for absolutely no reason at all
- An extra spare tyre
- Bedliner sprayed with no effort at all over the factory Barbie pink
- Stickers for 200 hp extra
- Retarded timing for 91 octane fuel
TO BE CONTINUEDâŠ
âWeather report. The weather around Frunia will be sunny and clear for the next few days, and temperatures ranging from around 18 to 25°C. However, there is going to have some chance for short rain due to changingâŠâ
3 days before race
11:30 AM
Team Safehouse, Atrilla, Frunia
Hana woke up from a sofa after a long night of working. She was a bit tired, and look kind of drunk with the messy hair and clothes. The other two went to a nearby store to by some equipment for the race while she was sleeping. Not long after, she got an text from the JMSI on her work phone.
âTHE CARâS HERE. CHECK YOUR GARAGE. SEE YOU IN THE RACE.â
Hana then went to the garage near their safehouse. The garage currently has the Urusla F5 parked, and of course the Hinata Luna as well. But not long after the other two came back from the safehouse, in a used Schumann van the gang bought for cheap.
F: âWeâre back, with some stuff. And this van for some reason.â
H: âYou bought a van?â
F: âOtherwise how we need to get low while buying stuff then? Ok, cut that shit off for now, we have bought a lot of things today. Mostly for the trip of course.â
Forzudo then opened the door of the van and unloaded some items with Chozo. Inside there is some kit, like jerry cans, repair kits, spares and some nonperishable food cans.
H: âOkay, thatâs pretty nice. So, Iâve just got the news the car is here, but its not coming to the safehouse yet. But just let me get changedfirst as I donât want to be seen like a maniac.â
After Hana took a bath and dressed herself, the team started the journey for taking the vehicle with the Schumann van.
The vehicle was located in an undisclosed location a distance away, to hide from [REDACTED]. With several hours of driving they arrived and the team had arrived at the location. Hana then found the location of the vehicle, which is on a disused garage, with the use of some tracker.
H:âHah, there it is.â
She the opened the garage door and found the Hinata, which is the teamâs ride for the challenge. However, she also saw some stuff mounted on the vehicle. Upon inspection, she saw some boxes. One of them contains some items for the mission, and there is some other stuff. With the inspection completed, the team started the car, and moved the car outside the garage.
But it was not long after some [REDACTED] men came and tried to attack them with guns. Of course, they are surrounded by them. The team decided to evade from this mess and drove the Hinata away, with no damage done to the car.

Part Two
Days before the race
A bit of a dispute regarding the vehicle And finding parts.
Matt walks back from the garage after looking for tools and stuff to put in the car if the car breaks down.
John: I think i have a concern about this car, Matt.
Matt: What is it?
John: The car might be slightly, uh. a bit big.
Matt: Youâre the one who has a larger car!
John: No. Mineâs a 2.4 meter long car.
Jess: Ah fucking hell, do the two of you stop. I swear it was one of you who bought the car, Just cope already. If it makes it there, great.
Matt
They go to the junkyard into one car so they know what theyâre looking for
5:15pm, Wednesday.
Jess: So, what are we looking for?
Matt: We are looking for engine parts for the car. He eyes upon the heaps of cool, mediocre, and shit looking cars in the junkyard in varying conditions
Jess: Ah okay. She looks around for engines for the car we need
John: Itâs fair, aslong as we make it to Archana. Do we win a prize of some sort?
Matt: I am not sure. Im aware itâs a charity thing, ah we get a sticker to prove bragging rights on a car.
John: Seems good.
The trio spend 35 minutes looking for car parts, eventually finding the correct car their engine swap came from.
Matt: Is that all we have?
Jess: Yes? She looks at the plastic storage container realising there is no brakes
John: We could use some brakes.
They go grab some brakes off a random car that could be useful later in the race. These brakes might get too hot. Much like the occasional argument they have. The team get into the V12 Luxobarge and drive back to the garage.
Team FinGer Airway - Prologue
Finland, Valpperi, Outside of Lauri`s dads shed.
Former classmates and neighbours, Lauri and Valtteri are having a casual saturday, drinking beer and looking for a winter project car.
Valtteri: âŠOooh this is a good one! Schnell L20 GLX AWD
Lauri: Let me have a look.
Valtteri: (gives phone to Lauri)
Lauri: âŠYou moron, itâs write off! It has been in the ditch more times than Petteri! (local drunkard)
Valtteri: Then try to find something better on a budget, you havenât suggested anything! Just drinking beer this past hour. Better watch out that you yourself donât turn into Petteri!
Lauri: Well⊠actualy⊠I have found something, a Rautio Vaunu
Valtteri: Were those the shitboxes used by the post office?
Lauri: Exactly, the post office is selling their old cars for cheap.
Valtteri: Those were garbage, my moped parts were always late because it took them a weeks to get to Valpperi. Why would you possibly want that piece of shit?
Lauri: Give me a sec, (Puts on the rally trailer)
Valtteri: (Starts smiling) I like where this is going.
Lauri: Rules of the rally state that the car must be 1200cc and lower. So I am thinking of going to Turku tommorow, to check on that shitboxes condition. Are you in?
Valtteri: Ehh⊠why not, at least will buy myself some of the good beer while in the city.

Team Shift Happens
Team Information and Story Start
40 Hours before the Rally, a hotel in Marena, Fruinia.
Malavera sat at the table in their shared hotel room, his 20 pound military laptop whirring quietly. Looking like something that was designed to fly drones, if only it had flight sticks, the camouflage-brown, green, and tan laptop proudly displayed a webpage where Malavera was busy downloading route maps, just in case they couldnât get any signal out on the road, whether that signal was WiFi, GPS, or just plain old Satellite connectivity. As the printer in their room spat out page after page, it was Kaylie who spoke up first.
âYou do know, Malavera, that itâs nearly $1 for 5 pages?â Kaylie asked.
âWell, yes, it would be nearly a dollar for five pages, if it wasnât for the fact that I already hacked their account to bill the hotel for the pages Iâm printing. By the time they notice,â Malavera replied, âwe will be long gone.â
Kayden groaned. âI thought you promised, no hacking while on this trip.â
âAnd I told you I wouldnât hack the other teams unless I had a good reason to. A hotel price-gouging us for using their laser printer is a great reason to hack their system. And I was nice about it, theyâre paying themselves. I could have picked a random card number out of their recent transactions and put that in there instead. Someone did recently buy two bottles of vodka, theyâd only notice after their hangover faded later,â Malavera replied.
Rukari chuckled. âNot to mess with those who walk in glass,â Rukari said with a smirk. Kaylie scowled and walked over to see what Rukari was up to, grabbing his phone and closing his internet app.
âNo more internet for you today. I donât want to even know what you just referenced. âWalking in glassâ my ass. You donât need to encourage Mal to do this!â Kaylie grumbled.
Malavera chuckled grimly. âLet him, Kaylie. Itâs a harmless reference anyway.â He finished printing up his route maps, organized the pages into a three-ring binder, and labeled it with a permanent marker.
Property of Team Shift Happens. Theft will result in bankruptcy!
Kayden sighed. âWhy do I get the feeling Malâs hacking is going to get us in trouble?â
âWill you still have that feeling if I get us out of trouble instead?â Malavera replied. âItâs a tool, much like the fighting knives weâre all carrying.â
âYou hacked the hotel weâre staying in, though. Thatâs just asking for trouble,â Kaylie replied.
âWe will be long-gone from here by time they find out,â Rukari said. âAnd if they find out too-soon, then I answer door, and much like getting Spots into room, they say it is okay anyway.â
âHow did you convince the receptionist to allow a leopard in the hotel, anyway?â Kayden asked.
âI told her, âIs just small cat. Could bring big cat instead.â Seemed to work,â Rukari said.
âWhat heâs left out, Kayden, is that he bribed her,â Malavera replied.
âWith what? The humans donât accept Galactic Credits yet,â Kaylie said.
Rukari smirked. âThe humans are zarukii if they not know Gold of Fools when made into coin.â
âThe word is âidiots,â Rukari. Use English,â Malavera warned.
âWait, he gave her a coin made out of foolsâ gold? Thatâs damned clever,â Kayden said. âI guess being the son of an Empress did give him some negotiating skills.â
âThis day is just getting worse and worse,â Kaylie groaned. âMalâs hacking the hotel, Rukariâs passing counterfeit coins, whatâs next?â
âHey, Mal, think you could conjure up some free room service?â Kayden asked.
âWell, no. Someone has to pay for it. But⊠I have an idea,â Malavera replied. âIt looks like someone just bought some room service themselves. Putting that number in for ours, change the room number to ours, and weâll have steak for five in about 15 to 30 minutes.â
Spots looked up from his spot on one of the beds as he recognized the word âsteakâ and gave a rather large yawn.
âHeâs nearly a 200 pound lap-cat, Mal,â Kaylie said, eyeing the leopard warily.
Is Galactic credits the currency of their country?
Galactic Credits are used by most civilized space traveling races. The Panthiri and the Khalans both use Galactic Standard Credits. Rukari, however, comes from a society predating the adoption of the Credit. He does occasionally use them, but his people use the Vali as their default currency.
Do the teams buy food in advance and store it onboard, or do they buy it as they need it? Or do we get a choice of either?
(i.e. do we pay ÂŁ250 for 100 days worth of food all at once, or ÂŁ2.50 every consecutive day?)

Crew
Angus Smith - 22 - Driver
Self proclaimed team captain. Passed his driving test 2 weeks before the challenge. Only crewmember with a license. Despises the car and all the mods done to it. Wanted an F&S Jikan but was overuled by Kerry because she paid for everything. Quite needy, people pleaser. Possible virgin. Pleaded to be the mechanic but was repeatedly told reading âZen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenanceâ did not count as competence.
Kerry Porterhouse - 20 - Nagivator
Self proclaimed team captain. Is the only one fronting cash. Blue haired. Spent a night in jail due to a âpeaceful protestâ against the use of cotton in bandages. Very wealthy family. Is the only one who likes the car. Extremely extroverted, open and neurotic. Claims to have lost their virginity in the front seat of a CADE SeXi. Has never read a map. Will be vlogging start to finish. Severely underestimates the demand of a Navigator.
Darren McManus - 17 - Mechanic
Self proclaimed team captain. Grew up on a farm doing a lot of mechanical work. Did all the modifications. Is suspiciously proud of the exhaust modification. Claims to have done a similar modification on his fathers Shidley Skidmore and it did 200mph+. Despises the car. Wanted a Hessenburg H100 Super Bus.
Reason for entering: They all work at the local fast food joint, Kerry wanted a holiday and the others want to bang her and she found them the most useful.
Team 722
This is a team, for sure. Definitely a team. Grandchild of a Carrera Panamericana winner, a âfriendâ of said grandchild who definitely has no idea what they are signing up for, and the third wheel who really doesnât get what is happening. Their cars is stupid, and not something anyone should ever take on such an event. Who thought a tiny inline 3 and an engine in the back would make a good car. Morons. Shall we start with who is part of Team 722? I think that wouldnât be a bad idea.
The Team Members
Zoey Stirling
Age: 28
Height: 178cm
Zoey is the Granddaughter of Louis Sterling, 1952 Carrera Panamericana winner. She is very proud of this point. She is not without accreditation, however. Like both her father and grandfather, she is a British Rally Champion, having taken out the championship in 2011. Her attempt to step up into the World Rally Championship hasnât gone as well, so she decided in her âyear offâ to try and do something just as crazy as Grandfather Louis. Somewhat arrogant, and definitely mechanically minded, she is one who will do anything to bend rules to win, given her equipment isnât completely dogshit. Which this car might be.
/ Laura Voss
Age: 27
Height: 190cm
Laura has no racing credentials. The only reason she is here is because sheâs been dating Zoey for almost 7 years, and is fully willing to go along with her partnerâs stupid ideas. She is pretty handy with a map, being a champion at regional Orienteering events, with some success in international competition. She is competitive to a point of aggression, but definitely notices when sheâs going overboard, also not a big fan of cheating, but goes along with Zoeyâs ideas because she loves her.
/ Isha Basra
Age: 27
Height: 160cm
Childhood friend of Zoey, one of the Mechanics on her old British Rally team, and otherwise lovely person, Isha is a highly overqualified mechanic for the shitbox that is being run by Team 722. Sheâs been put in charge of modifications and repairs. Sheâs kind and softspoken, but takes absolutely no shit despite her height. Also makes some killer food, thanks to some teaching from her mother.
The Shitbox!
1968 EAAC Hermes Mercurial A âPound Sterlingâ
This was the stock car. Dogwater 40hp inline 3 base model. No idea how that thing sold. I donât think the base model really ever did sell, come to think of it. I mean, we found one for nothing, and decided to repair it.
And this is our car, âPound Sterling.â Isnât she delightfully shit! We cut the bumper, mounted some spare front tyres like morons, found some aftermarket rally lights on ebay, and had a friend of Zoeyâs fab up a roof rack because we are not fitting everything we need into the frunk. I have no idea where the seat came from. Isha made sure it runs on unleaded fuel, and raised up the stock suspension a bit so we donât break something when we inevitably end up off the road.
We are so fucked. Donât tell Zoey I said that. - Laura
ISHA NOTE: I think this might be some cheapo mexican spec? Never seen one of these in the states before. I thought these came with a flat six
there is a choice of either
Part 1: Inspection
Finland, Turku, next day
Lauri and Valtteri arrive at the post office. They drive around the building and turn on to the parking lot, where the cars are for sale.
L: Wow!
V: âŠYeah they are even worse than I remembered.
L: It looks like they have been driven by wannabe rally drivers like you.
V: Wow wow wow I was 5th in the regional rally once.
L: Out of 7, congrats on being better than a 13 year old and a grandpa who couldnât see more than 2 meters in front of him.
V: Whatever
(A man in his 70s comes out from the backdoor of the post office)
Man: Glad to see the younger generation appreciating Finnish manufacturing quality, so which of these ones are you keen on?
L: Hello, we were just looking around
Man: Let me get the keys, that you can test drive them in the parking lot (Enters the building again)
L: Visually the middle one looks the best, will have to see how it drives.
V: They all look the same, like pieces of garbage.
L: Any better ideas? Plus I think the extra space will help to carry more equipment and spare parts.
V: Probably gonna need a lot of spare parts, might as well get two of these.
(The old man comes out again and hands the keys to the boys)
Man: Take them for a spin, but be gentle they are not the youngest anymore.
V: We see that.
L: (Hits Valtteri with elbow, and whispers angrily) Shut up you idiot!
- car
(The car is struggling to start, after getting it started Lauri takes it for a spin) The clutch is slipping and there is a horrible rattling coming from the engine - car
(Starts more easily and overall in a better shape, after going around for the parking lot for a bit he stops by Valtteri) Overall better, but hard to get in 1st gear. - car
(Lauri gets in the car and tryâs to start it, after some attempts it starts, but just as soon shuts down) Well this wont be it.
L: so what do you think letâs take the middle one?
V: Looks like the lesser of two evils, and we donât have any other options really.
(Turns to the man from post office)
L: So what about the price?
Man: Well I heard from your colleague about the expedition you are having, so I guess I could knock it down a bit.
L: Ok Deal!
(Shake hands)
Here is their purchase
