For most drivers. it is one of the main tracks in Equestrian GT Championship calendar. In this race which is a 500 mile endurance race with multiple classes from GT3 cars to Porsche Cup Cars. Super Trofeo cars to the Ferrari 488 Challenge cars.

This was also the first time that human androids can compete against the likes of Viral Velocity, Danger Dean, Aria Blaze or even Rusalka Swordlight. The Danger City-Equestrian Motorsport Association, in collaboration with Danger Motorsport, launched a program 2 months prior to the race that encourages androids to get into motorsport and about millions of androids took to the tracks to compete against their human creators.

Before the race started, Danger was busy with Azura, Beatrice and Jasmine after they underestimated the pace of the 992 Cup Cars

“Don’t worry girls, you got 114 laps to turn your position you are in to make it a possible race win. I believe in you three.” Danger said while putting a hand of a Beatrice’s shoulder.

“Danger, you can rely on me any day of the year, also Jasmine and Azura.” Beatrice replied to Danger’s pearl of courage. “Also experiment with the androids in the race, I’m sure they will put up a good fight.”

“I trust your word for it, Danger.” Jasmine said, placing a hand on his shoulder.





All 31 cars were on the start-finish straight ready for 114 laps of the Mystic Falls Raceway. All 5 red light come on… and that Mystic Falls 500 starts with Viral getting a decent start to take an early lead with Sonic behind. Aria was in 3rd and Danger was still adjusting to his new 296 GT3 and that despite a difficult start, he overtook the McLaren of Blazing Lionfire go into 10th. A few corners later, the #23 Mercedes of Iris Dayspark was being hounded by the Lamborghini of Aria Blaze and on last corner, Aria used her experience with Lamborghini in Formula Equestria to overtake the 2021 Equestrian GT Champion, even though the #23 Team Black Falcon liveried car was the very car that carried Iris to her title after her championship-long battle with Sonic Flash.

Speaking of Sonic Flash, the runner up in that championship was trying any trick he had to overtake the Ferrari of Viral Velocity. Viral was sporting a different livery than usual. She kept her Liberty University livery on the front half of the car, but on the rear half of the car were Danger’s ‘Double D’ insignias on the rear bumper of her 296 GT3. This was because Viral switched to Danger Motorsport after one of her friends had had enough of Oscura Galaxia crashing into him at any opportunity, which to Danger, was more a chance since she had been in the wars with the British Speedfreak for more than a decade. Oscura’s trash talk about him on social media wasn’t helping either and Oscura criticized the move to Danger Motorsport that was entirely Danger’s idea. But despite this,  the Dean-Velocity Motorsport Alliance had begun.

With the 4 laps in the books and 110 laps to run, the leading Android in the 992 Cup class, being the #191 Porsche 992 GT3 Cup of Maria Thunderlight, was making good progress and she had overtaken the number #152 Ferrari 488 GT3 EVO of Astral Dash. Astral was a bit oblivious to the fact that the 992 Cup cars are quick in straight lines despite having less aero compared the 911 GT3 Rs, for example, Rusalka Swordlight in the #97 GT3 R. Astral wasn’t the only driver being caught out by fast androids, her brother, Danny had also been overtaken by the leader of the android division of the GT3 Class, the #52 Acura NSX GT3 of Krisandra Flamestinger who is also Cassandra’s android and Cassandra herself had overtaken Manic Speed at turn 9.





It didn’t take long for the  first session of chaos to commence as the #194 Porsche 992 Cup car of Azusa Iceblast went into the gravel at turn 12 on lap 11 and had to be pull out by a tractor. The #191 992 Cup car of Maria Thunderlight wasn’t aware of her car going into the gravel as she was the leader of the 992 Cup class. Luckily for Azusa, the Safety Car would not be needed as her car was closer to a crane to lift her stricken 992 Cup.

Up front, meanwhile, Viral Velocity was still in the lead with Sonic Flash and Aria Blaze in second and third. Aria realised that Sonic’s Ferrari was not as quick as Viral’s and that he was, in her mind, getting used to how the 296 GT3 handles and controls, much like how Danger Dean is getting used to his 296 GT3. On lap 13, Aria passed Sonic and  the Lamborghini was on a mission. The mission was to overtake the Ferrari of Viral.

In the 992 Class, the #126 of Imogen Shadowstalker was putting in some good times and in some cases, on par with the GT3 cars. Her lap times from 17 to 22 were within the 1:50.8 to 1:51.2 Even though she was in 19th place and second in her class, her pace meant that she would be lapped by Viral on lap 29. What didn’t help Imogen was what Viral was lapping in the 1:48.5 to 1:49.3 range. Even though her 992 GT3 Cup was crusing, she knew she need to hurry up, especially since Danger Dean lapped the #106 Super Trofeo Huracan of Michiko Arasaka-Soulflame. On lap 25 a yellow flag was needed at turn 6 as the #51 Porsche 911 GT3 R of Cassandra Flamestinger missed her braking zone and slid into the gravel and luckily, she didn’t hit anything that would damage. Beatrice Radiance, after hearing that one of her fellow 911 GT3 R drivers went off the track after mistiming the braking zone, went off at the exact same turn, two laps later. Some may think it was either a mark of respect or to investigate if Cassandra was recovered from the gravel trap.





30 laps in the books and Danger was getting the hang of it, He managed to get up to 5th place behind Iris Dayspark after the first pit stops. With Viral, Aria, Sonic and Crimsonia still leading the race, he had gone 131.4 miles on his set of tyres and was making good headway. When Danger pitted on lap 32 for more fuel and tyres. His pit stop was like NASCAR-esque and was only down to 7th place behind Iris Dayspark. In a matter of a few laps, Danger snatch 5th place back from Iris.

Danger realised that his pass on Iris was so timed to the exact moment when the #98 Porsche of Alexandra Swordlight went into the gravel and was beached at turn 5 on lap 40 which brought out the Safety Car. When it came in on lap 43, the top 5 was still Viral leading from Aria, Crimsonia, Sonic and Danger Dean. Sonic’s brother, Danger Flash in the #50 Ferrari 488 was still making good progress with 70 laps to go. He was catching with Danger Dean despite being in older machinery compared to 296 GT3s. He was in 6th place but he wanted more.

When the #15 and #50 Ferraris crossed the line to start lap 46, Danger Dean defended valiantly from turn 1 to turn 3 on lap 48 when Danger Flash went by. Viral was still cruising and picking off lapped GT3 cars and the Super Trofeo Huracans. Danger Dean meanwhile, was still chasing Danger Flash for as long as he could and eventually when the race entered it’s 50th lap. He took 5th place back. But Danger Flash wasn’t going to give up that easily. On lap 52, Danger Dean still held from Danger Flash, but a close call from the #153 992 GT3 Cup Porsche of Amanda Thunderlight caused the Ferrari 296 to slow down and let Danger Flash by.





5 laps later, Sonic Flash was being under threat from Crimsonia and with the #22 Acura of Sonata Dusk nearly spinning out at turn 3 and Danger Flash’s 488 GT3 EVO getting closer to the leaders. Then the Safety Car came out on lap 61 after the #106 Lamborghini Super Trofeo EVO II of Michiko Arasaka-Soulflame crashed into the tyre wall after trying to make way for the 10th place Aston Martin of Manic Speed. Despite making a pit on lap 49, Viral was still leading the race from Crimsonia Dragonsfire and the #21 Mercedes of Twilight Sparkle. The Princess of Speed was becoming a real headache for the Danger Flash, who was now 4th while Danger Dean was in 5th.

On lap 66, the #97 of Rusalka Swordlight was beginning to charge. After most of the field pitted including Viral, Danger Dean, Danger Flash and Iris Dayspark, Rusalka benefitted from this get up into 2nd place behind Sonic Flash and ahead of Twilight Sparkle. Her Porsche 992-generation 911 GT3 R was better the 991.2 generation GT3 R as, in her opinion it was more aggressive on the track.

And it showed.

For about a few laps, Rusalka was on the offensive and Sonic was looking in his rear-view mirror to the sight of the #97 Team Swordlight-liveried Porsche. The #21 Mercedes of Twilight Sparkle was getting closer as she was setting lap times within the 1:48.2 to 1:48.7 mark where both Sonic and Rusalka’s lap times from lap 67 to 71 was 1:48.6 to 1:49.1. Even Danger Dean, who was in 6th had set a 1:47.994 on lap 70.





With 40 laps to go, Danger had benefited immensely from the fact that both Sonic and Rusalka made a pit stop and from the other benefit of running on fresher rubber. He was now in the top 5, in third place, with Twilght Sparkle leading from Viral Velocity and with Crimsonia Dragonsfire and Rusalka behind. It was still anyone’s race but unfortunately for some, they wouldn’t see the opportunity.

On lap 78, the #50 Ferrari of Danger Flash pulled into the pits and retired from the race after his engine was not in the best of moods after his battle with Danger Dean. This became a mental note to the other drivers that they got to digging, try their luck because at Mystic Falls, trouble may find you.





After leading the race early on, Viral scraped the wall of the pit lane after trying to make the #191 Porsche 992 Cup of Maria Thunderlight two laps down. This resulted in another pitstop as she damaged a few panels and with 35 laps to go, she was now in 10th place behind the #151 Ferrari of Danny Dean. 

Meanwhile, the #14 Lamborghini of Aria Blaze now in 6th place and trying to pass Rusalka. With two Formula Equestria champions in a battle, the fans were desperate to see the overtake. But Rusalka was not an easy opponent for Aria… or for the 7th place Aston Martin of Rainbow Dash. The Aston Martin was in the similar pace with Danger Dean and as result, the two-way battle became a three way battle. But the battle would be halted slightly as the Safety Car came out on lap 91 as the #98 Porsche of Alexandra Swordlight, who was Rusalka’s daughter, crashed into the tyre barrier.

On lap 95, the race got back underway and when less 80 miles left. Danger was getting exhausted. He had driven over 400 miles in tense circumstances and having stayed in 2rd after a pit stop, he once again had the advantage of being on fresher rubber over Twilight. And with his Scuderia Ferrari teammate, Aria Blaze in 5th, he can just cruise to the finish.

By the lap 100 came around, the only drivers in the 992 Cup class, Imogen Shadowstalker was overtaking the #111 Super Trofeo of Ricarda Earthwalker who had been 4 laps down because of on-track excursions with GT3 cars. One of them involving the #5 Ferrari of Sonic Flash. Up front, Danger Dean had took the lead from Twilight Sparkle with 10 laps to go and his pace meant that he would be untouchable.

6 laps later, Viral had capitalized from the 3 cars battle that had been going on since lap 91, she was now 5th and she hoped that she can catch Danger, even though the British Speedfreak now had a 20 second gap so maybe a podium was on the cards if Rusalka and Crimsonia faltered with 8 laps to go. 4 laps went by and she was in 4th after a inside pass on Rusalka Swordlight. On the final lap she tried a move on Crimsonia Dragonsfire but… it was pretty much over since Danger Dean had crossed the line to win the race. So she had to settle for 4th place as Twilight finished 2nd.
