//------------------------------// // Sunset Valley Visage GP Sprint Race 2 (Formula Equestria) // Story: DangerVerse Motorsport Events // by DangerDean //------------------------------// Sonic was on the starting grid for the second sprint race which is 3 laps longer than the first. He thought about what he could do next year, give out plans for the SGP003 or upgrade it so it would be called the SGP002b. But before the first sprint race, Danger told Sonic that he would offer him a seat at the Scuderia as Aria Blaze wanted to form a team with Flash Sentry and that Tushek planned to enter the championship with a Dragonsfire powered TS1 by 2023. So Sonic had high hopes for the sprint race. 1st. Akula, Crimson Arrows-Mercedes 2nd. DangerDean, Scuderia Ferrari-Danger Motorsport 3rd. Viral Velocity, Crimson Arrows-Mercedes 4th. Oscura Galaxia, Red Bull Racing Team Galaxia 5th. Aria Blaze, Scuderia Ferrari-Danger Motorsport 6th. Iris Dayspark, Mercedes AMG-Petronas 7th. Sparkling Lionfire, Chappral Lionfire 8th. Blazing Lionfire, Chappral-Lionfire 9th. Rusalka Swordlight, Scuderia Ferrari-Danger Motorsport 10th. Sonic Flash, Sonic GP The lights went out and Oscura got the best start out of everyone to take the lead from Akula. Danger also went past Akula at turn 1. Further down the field, Rainbow, who started in 19th, got the best start which might rival Oscura’s, passing cars left and right to get up to 11th place only behind Sunset Shimmer. On lap 3, Danger was starting to feel a tiny loss of speed at the straights. Akula sensed this at the bus-stop and passed before the approach to turn 9. Danger tried to take the position back at turn 12 but Akula defended like a lion. 3 laps later at turn 4. Rainbow Dash felt like she had jet engines strapped onto her AMR22. She had gone up to 9th place after overtaking Rusalka Swordlight and now, was challenging Blazing Lionfire’s Chappral for 8th place. While Lightning Dust languished in 18th, Rainbow was making some brilliant. From lap 7 to lap 10, Rainbow had overtaken both Lionfire sisters and even Iris Dayspark. This made Aria Blaze a bit concerned as she was shredding her gap by 0.2 seconds a lap. What made matters worse for Aria was that Rainbow’s lap times was around half a second faster than hers. Aria’s lap time on lap 11 was 1:55.725. Rainbow’s was 1:55.251. Oscura was still leading by about 2.4 seconds from Danger which, to be honest, was a complete hell for the British Speedfreak as Oscura was 0.3 seconds a lap quicker than him. On lap 14 however, Viral and Akula was in a battle for 3rd, but they were team-mates but no ‘multi map 2-1 ‘ orders would be of any use. What both Viral and Akula didn’t realise was that one, Danger would extend the gap and that 5th place Aria Blaze was getting close. In the end, Akula was in third after a mistake from Viral at turn 18 on lap 15. Viral didn’t account for the gap between her and Aria as the Ferrari swooped past the Crimson Arrow. On lap 19, Danger had caught up with the Red Bull of Oscura and the battle started again. “Come on, Danger. Bring down the hammer!” Crimsonia said on Danger’s radio. Danger challenged Oscura ar turn 15 and it worked until Oscura performed the switchback and reclaimed the lead. At turn 2 on the next lap, both Danger and Oscura went low on the banking but on the approach to the turn, Oscura banged wheels with the Ferrari. They banged wheels again at turn 12 as both of them were side-by-side on the banking. At turn 17, part of Danger’s front wing broke off after yet another sidepod scrape. In the end, Danger’s efforts were to no avail as Oscura, for the first time since 2019, was on the top step on the podium with Danger second and Akula third. Aria 4th, Rainbow 5th and Viral was 6th. Sparky 7th, Blazey 8th, Sonic Flash 9th and Iris Dayspark 10th.
