AppleLauda the Nürburgring God

The Tournament Part 2

It was time to go on the Nürburgring Nordschleife for the third and last heat. Apple Lauda was really confident about the race. Whilst everycreature warmed up, Apple Lauda took a break in order to prepare for the race

"don't you want to warm up?" Starlight asked. "You could lose this race if you don't warm up"

"I have track knowledge... I know every single corner of the Nordschleife" Apple Lauda responds with confidence.

Then the first race started. Apple Lauda obviously on Pole Position, Rainbow Dash on P2 (Gap: 0.2), Silverstream on P3, Yona on P4, Ocellus on P5, Gallus on P6, Smolder on P7 and Sandbar on P8. Applejack and Rarity both on P9 and P10.

"the best 8 drivers advance to the 2nd Race, good luck everycreature!!!" Starlight said. Then the race started and Apple Lauda absolutely flying away. Already 2.5 ahead of Rainbow Dash going down to Hatzenbach (a very twisty section)
Rainbow Dash catches up a bit. Gap is now 2.3 but Silverstream is about to make a move on Rainbow Dash after Flugplatz (a uphill section followed by a fast double right) and Silverstream manages to get past Rainbow Dash, claiming P2 but Apple Lauda already made it to the Fox Hole (a downhill section with a series of corners that can be driven at full throttle)
Going into the Adenauer Forst chicane with a gap of 3.005 seconds, whilst Silverstream struggles to keep up with Apple Lauda. Meanwhile, Yona manages to catch up to Rainbow Dash and is battling it out for P3. Applejack blasts through the corners, gaining 5 positions. Rarity chases Applejack down whilst Gallus and Sandbar are trying to keep up the pace of Apple Lauda. Apple Lauda eases off a bit to keep himself in shape and at the end of lap 1, Apple Lauda has a lead of 10 seconds already!!! "okay I won't catch him anymore" Silverstream said. "are you surrendering already?" Apple Lauda asked. "we'll going to catch you Apple Lauda!!!" Smolder shouted, declaring war on Apple Lauda which turns out to be a huge mistake. Apple Lauda gains until the Döttinger Höhe 1 second but gets a perfect Galgenkopf exit, gaining 6 seconds at the whole Döttinger Höhe straight. He finishes with 17.4 seconds ahead of everycreature. "WHAT?! ALREADY FINISHED?!" Silverstream said in shock, having Rainbow Dash in her slipstream and Rainbow Dash manages to get past Silverstream for P2 whilst Applejack, Smolder, Gallus and Sandbar battling it out at the Döttinger Höhe. Race 1 is finished...
P1: Apple Lauda
P2: Rainbow Dash (+17.4)
P3: Silverstream: (+17.5)
P4: Sandbar: (+18.0)
P5: Applejack: (+18.2)
P6: Gallus: (+18.5)
P7: Smolder: (+19.0)
P8: Yona: (+19.7)
P9: Ocellus: (+19.8) DNQ
P10: Rarity (+21.0) DNQ

"NOOOOO" Ocellus shouted. "So close!!! But hey... at least I had fun"

"well done Apple Lauda darling" Rarity said in respect.

"yeah thank you... Well... Destruction count: 1" Apple Lauda said.

The 2nd race started a few minutes later but this time the 5 best drivers will advance into the finals

About 15 minutes later, Apple Lauda won again but only with 10.1 ahead.

"are you running out of fuel Apple Lauda?" Sandbar asked.

"I'm just sandbagging haha" Apple Lauda responds. "I had a few errors in my flow but still another destruction"

Destruction Count: 2

Then the lunch break came up and Apple Lauda went on to meditate to clear his mind. Apple Lauda is completely exhausted from all of the destructions he did, despite he did only 2 destructions.

"Apple Lauda is getting weaker I guess" Smolder said and develops a plan in order to defeat Apple Lauda.

"this won't work... I mean Apple Lauda is probably doing some training right now" Ocellus responded.

"how are we going to defeat him?! He's too strong!!!" Sandbar confessed that he's afraid of Apple Lauda. "I'm eliminated!!!"

"we have no chance!!! Unless he crashes" Gallus answers. "we should let him run by hunting him down hard" he adds.

Then the lunch break ends and Apple Lauda walks back to the classroom. "I'll go back to work then..." he says
"yeah just run... You will crash for sure and then you're getting destroyed" Silverstream says but Apple Lauda bursts out in laughter. "ME GETTING DESTROYED?! REALLY?! THAT'S THE FUNNIEST THING I'VE EVER HEARD OF!!!" he says in laughter.

Then the final race started and Starlight made an announcement. "Whoever defeats Apple Lauda is allowed to choose a punishment for him" she says and Apple Lauda gets nervous but he knew the whole track. "Nordschleife.... Please protect me" he says

"SOMEPONY'S SCARED SOMEPONY'S SCARED!!!" Silverstream shouts and Apple Lauda snaps out of the worries. "I won't lose!!!" he says and everycreature starts laughing.
"Okay you know what?! I will win by at least 20 seconds!!!" Apple Lauda adds his prediction and everycreature gasps.

Then the final race starts and Apple Lauda immediately blasts away and is out of sight immediately. This goes on until the end of the race. Apple Lauda finishes the race in P1.

Results:

Apple Lauda: P1
P2: Silverstream (+22.3)
P3: Yona (+23.0)
P4: Smolder (+23.5)
P5: Gallus (+24.2)

"ARE YOU SERIOUS ABOUT THIS?! YOU'RE CRAZY!!! 22 SECONDS WHAAAAT?!" Silverstream shouted

"well... There's destruction number 3!!!" Apple Lauda responded. "Nice try"

"Yeah well I guess you're the Nürburgring God" Gallus said. "you're an absolute beast!!!"

Then there was a victory ceremony at the School of Friendship and Twilight announced that there will be a class trip to the real Nürburgring because she discovered a spell that will bring them into the real world. Apple Lauda teared up in joy." am I really going to visit my territory?!" Apple Lauda asked.
"Yes you will Apple Lauda" Starlight answered. "It's for the history class" she adds.
"I know a part of the Nürburgring you might not heard of" Apple Lauda says in joy.
"wait, there's another part of the Nürburgring? I thought there's only GP circuit and Nordschleife" Smolder said in confusion.
"Yes, but it's now a public road. We need to take the 3rd exit of the 3rd roundabout when facing towards Müllenbach. Then we need to turn right and we're on the abandoned part of the Nürburgring." Apple Lauda explains.

"that sounds interesting" Silverstream admits.
"I've never heard of it" Sandbar said.
"what is it called?" Gallus asked.
"was it dangerous?" Smolder asked.
"why did it get abandoned?" Ocellus asked.
"Yona want to see it" Yona said.

Author's Note:

Well what will that mysterious Nürburgring part will be?

Also this story is based on real life events and what happened to me in GT Sport in these Nürburgring lobbies. I even destroyed GametechUK (a YouTuber. Check out his channel if you are interested. At around hour 1 minute 15 I will appear. You can identify me in the stream as "ALdestroyer99942")
