Race :: Round 30 - Collision at Opéra
Click Here for Car Stats & Leader Board
The famed Finnish ice racer, Tavho Myrsky, suddenly cuts right and into the pit lane, pressing onward and into the black smoke from the fires. Ahead, his pit stop garage remains a blur, nearly hidden from view by the darkness and by the shadows of figures running back and forth. Belgium too cuts right and appears to be angling toward the pits. Other racers fly out of the curve at Opéra, lead by Britain and Norway, both side by side heading down the Quai des États-Unis. France's Aristide La Fontaine too accelerates out of the hairpin, his tires skidding as dark smoke trails from the burning tire rubber. Spain's Teide Sorolla presses deeper into the hairpin as if abandoning himself to the fate of chance, now making his move and pressing into the mid field. He barely holds onto the steering wheel as the car fishtails right and left at the edge of control -- a masterful command of black Bugatti. Germany's Godeschalk Hegkman also gracefully slides through the hairpin, his driving in perfect form, his eyes glaring with determination behind the white edged fighter pilot goggles he wears. He must hold on and reach the pit stop area if he is to complete the race. But now Italy charges up too quickly -- and he misjudges! CRAC!! Sebi Orsi collides with the hapless white Bugatti! The damage is significant yet still not fatal! Momentarily locked together, they press onward, the front of the Maserati twisted and dented terribly and the white paint of the German racer scuffed with the rosso corsa of the Italian car, appearing like a streak of bright red blood upon a white shroud. Now perhaps even the Italian will have to dare a stop at the pits after all! Switzerland pulls into the hairpin and closely dogs the Czech driver, Vitez Rychly, who appears to be focused ahead. Rychly turns to look far into the distance and down the long straight as if seeking someone. Ahh, it is this -- what has become of his beautiful fiancée, VV? He is truly a man of courage and heart, to be so concerned now, even surrounded with the challenges of the race. And we too must wonder….
