After the test race, Danger headed to the Outpost where, as he was walking into the sound of Crimsonia listening to Love Song on her ear plugs which to Danger, reminded him of a song that Crimsonia’s band Crimson Firestorm made which was called ‘Live in a Firestorm’. Danger also noticed she was sitting on a Dragonsfire Motors Zealastrasza.
The Zealastrasza was Crimsonia’s 60s prototype she had planned for a 150km race on the Astralight Loop. Taken inspiration from the Lotus Type 40, the Zealastrasza had more curved front shape which was inspired by both the Porsche 908 and the 917 K models. Powering the 885kg car was a 1.6 litre turbo engine developing 300 horsepower. Unlike the Type 40, the Zealastrasza was a close cockpit car, the exhausts were at the bottom of the car rather than on a 45 degree angle and the engine was covered.
Danger saw the blue Zealastrasza with the number 36 in a white circle, while Crimsonia’s was black with the number 35. At least he knew that his friends were learning from the man who was designing race cars and sports cars for more than 20 years. He then saw multiple Ferrari 330 P4s with the numbers, 20 through to 23 and the car he will be using is a Ferrari 512 M with the red 15 on a white circle.
“I get the feeling I have the one with the red number because the green number is Aria’s and the blue one is Sonic’s.” Danger thought as he looked at the entry list for the 150km race on the 3.13 kilometer course in a few hours from now.

Danger knew that there were some beautiful cars like the . The British Lion climbed into the 512M and went out on track to set a lap to get a nice comfortable position for the race.
“Time to drive into a blast into the past… not from it.” Danger said, while heading into the track.

Danger also realised that his son and daughter, Danny Dean and Astral Dash were also in the race piloting red and green coloured Ferrari 512S cars. Despite the 512M being nearly 19 miles per hour than the S, the speed didn’t really matter to him as it was the corners that will help him cruise to victory. When the race started, Danny retained into to turn but Viral had slotted into the 2nd after passing the #5 512M of Sonic Flash, behind Danger was a tight battle between the 512S of Aurora Blitz and the 917K of Beatrice Radiance. The 4.9 liter flat-12 powered 917 was all over the back the 5 liter V12 powered 512M, from the left to right, trying to pick the right moment to overtake the daughter of Aria Blaze.
Meanwhile, Aria had passed both Zealastrazas to climb up to 10th, despite being in a slower car compared to Aurora, Aria knew that within time, something may go wrong for the top 3. By lap 6, Danny pulled off a 2 second lead from Viral as the M variant of the 512 Prototype cars were beginning to struggle. One lap later at turn 7 hairpin, Sonic’s Ferrari was out with a broken clutch after it was over-exerted from battling with Aurora. After Sonic’s car was retrieved to the garage, the race continued on lap 10. Danny held on from Viral but the presence of the #54 Ferrari of Aurora was giving the V12 of Viral’s car more works.
As Danger’s 512M was drowing in terms of speed, it allowed Beatrice to take 5th place. This didn’t bother Danger much because the #21 of Selena Sinderlight wasn’t putting much of a fight for his position, while Calliope was fighting her own battle with Aria Blaze which by lap 12 was no contest. No much happened for 10 laps with occasional passing in bottom half of the leaderboard until on lap 20 when Astral went into the pits to fill up her radiator, she got back out in 5th place with Danny Dean still leading from Viral and with Aurora now in 3rd place and Beatrice’s Porsche in 4th.
On lap 23, the next two cars to retire was the #3 Porsche of Olivia Bonelight and the #97 Porsche of Rusalka Swordlight. Both drivers were not at fault because it was revealed by the time race restared on lap 27, the brakes on Rusalka’s 917K had faded into non existence with caused her to cannon into the back of Olivia’s 917K at the turn 4 hairpin. From lap 29, the race was rather quiet until the next phase of chaos started to turn asunder as Danger’s brakes caught fire on lap 35 in pure Italian fashion. Luckily for Danger, the race had neutralized by the time he flew out the car to escape the flames.
With 10 laps to go, it was Danny who had lead from lap 1, almost unopposed, Aurora Blaze was 2nd, Viral 3rd, Astral in 4th and Beatrice in 5th. By the time the 15 remaining cars completed 9 corners of lap 39, Danny was 1.1 seconds ahead of Aurora. Lap 43, he was 1.4 seconds ahead and by lap 45, Aurora was starting to close in on Danny. With 2 laps to go, Astral and Viral were waiting for the most opportune time to punch on both Aurora and Danny. With 2 corners to go. Aurora tried to overtake Danny but it was no use for her. Danny crossed the line to win the race, Astral completed the podium after a late move on Viral, Beatrice finished 5th, Aria was 6th, Calliope was 7th, Crimsonia and Azura who both had uneventful races were 8th and 9th respectively and Selena Sinderlight finished the top 10 placings.
