Plan is currently either 1985 or somewhere in the 90s. We already have something in the plans after for something in 2020.

Investigators have recently found Jia Luo in a Laotian hospital near the border with China. Jia is a millionaire from China who made his fortune in building laundromat chains in Yunnan, as well as speculative investment. However, he came under scrutiny after allegations of underpaying his workers, fraud, and money laundering. He pleaded guilty to the first charge, and he paid a fine of over 300 million yuan to the workers, and 10 years in jail. He was released on parole after serving 8 years. However after his parole was over he went missing, and his laundromat chains were bought out by the Yunnan provincial government.

But just two days ago, he was admitted to Sonna hospital in northern Laos. He suffered 87 broken bones, a major concussion, dozens of cuts, and internal bleeding. He was found at a race track, where he crashed into a wall and flung through his windshield, landing 50 feet away. Medics were able to quickly arrive on the scene and stabilize Jia, who was transferred to the hospital.

Upon investigating the crash further, it seems the police found more clues indicating Jia had laundered much more money than believed. The car he was driving was recorded at over 300 miles per hour, with the car chassis made entirely of carbon fiber. The clues led police to Pai Ngai, a Laotian man who operated a car mechanics shop. Pai testified that Jia seemed suspicious, and recieved several strange packages, such as cans of nitro methane, but admits that he didnā€™t know of Jiaā€™s past, or where his money came from.

After recovering in the hospital, Jia has been ordered to court for another trial.

Iā€™m expecting it to be the latter, given that the rule set would be too similar to the original BBR otherwise.

Not the BBB, the BBR. Plus, we decided that that will probably be after the next one as it would be a side quest. Currently itā€™s looking like either a 2000s GT4 challenge, Superheavies or some sort of convertible challenge. Iā€™m leaning towards GT4 since i donā€™t want to go through the suffering of cars that can barely move again. Especially if they are very, very heavy.

Alexa Terrazas managed to break over 100 and survived, so this seems like no major incident.
I think the host might even know that story since it happened near him :smiley:

I had in fact not heard of that. I did not know that was even possible. The better question is, how do you survive a 300 mph crash when flying out the windshield?

When I was young, I fell from a balcony in the second floor. Nothing happened. Today I am wasted if my pillow isnt set right for the night.

Speaking of car crashs, my wife survived a serious, almost non-survivable one, also being significantly younger than now, with 24 broken bones (as far as I remember) and permant disabilityā€¦ so this depends a lot of individual luck, I guess.
