Takes a deep breath
Y/N: "Alright...we came this far....I got this, I got this!"
Taking a deep breath you slowly put your foot on the gas to slowly put the vehicle into the designated starting pit. You then put your foot on the brake as it stops, its rhythmic revving shakes the items that's displayed in the interior of your vehicle.
The crew chief crackles his mic to life as he speaks to you
Crew Chief: "Well...remember, just like the simulations. You've got the skills kid, show it alright?"
Y/N: "Roger!"
The entire track roars to life with the vehicles all in the starting pit revving their engines. The sweat dripping on your face, the increase of your heartbeat, the rush of adrenaline coursing in your veins. It was all hyping you up. You smile under your helmet as you close your eyes and take a deep breath. Remembering how far you've came.
Flashback: 9 years ago
You were in your room, feeling gloomy as on your left hand was your test exams score....on the other...was a race car toy your father bought you. Someone then knocks on the door as they softly spoke.
Dad: "Hey kiddo, c-can I come in?"
Y/N: "....."
Dad: "Please?"
Y/N: "S-Sure pops...you can come in"
Your dad opens the door as he smiles. Walking over to you as he sits down, rubbing your back.Dad: "What's wrong kiddo?"
Y/N: "I-I don't want to tell you..." *looks to the side as you hold back tears* "Y-You might get mad at me..."
Dad: "Kid the last thing I'd do is shout at you, come on, hit me!"
Y/N: "*Punches him on the stomach*"
Dad: "*Coughs* I-I meant like what's up! N-Not literally!" *Coughs again and laughs*
Y/N: "O-Oh! S-Sorry!" *You bow and whimper as you feared he might hit you*
Dad: "*Laughs and pats your head* Just a lil miscommunication"Y/N: "*Blushes in embarrassment and looks down* W-Well....*sighs* I might've failed my......"
Dad: "Ah...so that's the issue eh? *Shrugs* Ok..."
Y/N: "Y-You're not mad?"
Dad: "Why would I be?Y/N: "B-Because I fai-"
Dad: "Kid...*pats your head* we all have a part in life where we fail. It be a job interview, a test, a entrance exam. Or just life in general...but..."
Y/N: "But?"
Dad: "We just accept it, move on, be better"
Dad: "So what I'm trying to say is, don't let this test get to ya, if you fail at the current one. Improve and be better on the next one" *He smiles and pats your head*
You smile and nod as you look at the toy car once again. You father notices and he smirksDad: "Is my lil racer still holdin onto that dream?"
Y/N: "*You nods enthusiastically* Of course! I always wanted to be a race car driver!"
Dad: "*chuckles* Well...remember me when you get to the top alright?"
Y/N: "Mm! I will!"
He laughs and pats your head as it all echoes and fades away.You then slowly open your eyes and take a deep breath as you're now back in reality.
Crew Chief: "Ready Y/N? This is the biggest moment in our life, especially yours. The fate of our brand lies within you"
Taking a deep breath, you smirk under your helmet and speak with confidence.
Y/N: "Don'tcha worry! I got this!"You rev your car as the lights shine red. The cars all rev as your grip your steering wheel tightly, slightly stepping on the gas pedal to keep the car ready. Two red lights, everything begins to muffle out as you take a very long deep breath. You calm yourself down and let your body focus.
