Racing to Impress (Madison Beer/You)

A New Chapter

Stuttgart - Germany

It had been about 2 weeks since my announcement of being selected to be the junior driver and I'd since been invited to Stuttgart to the factory for various training and Media obligations

Now I was officially with Porsche I was handed a bag with all kinds of teamwear in that I'd have to wear when I was in the limelight during track hours

Whilst I was there I also found out the Porsche North America race i'd be doing. It was the Miami Supercup race which was in a few week's time with F1. We'd be a support race for the crowd.

The whole facility so far had been exhilarating, I still couldn't quite believe I was actually here

"This is still all too surreal" I said in awe as I was led past the Production line and out to the motorsport facility

Inside was a plethora of classic Le Mans cars, Championship winning cars and even current gen cup cars

As we slowly made our way towards the back corner for the door to the meeting room I spotted something from the corner of my eye. Something that looked extremely familiar

"Is that-?" I said pointing as I zigzagged my way through the sea of cars

"Yep, Car had to be shipped back here so great timing to be here" The director said

I stood looking at my PCCGB Cup car, still wrecked to a heavy degree from my Donington hit

"What's up with it? apart from the obvious" I asked, crouching down and looking closer at the damage. Pieces of the frame sat at angles they shouldn't be and hoses from where the engine once sat dangled freely

"Well it's not so much what's wrong with it, more just that Century don't have the time to rebuild it to the level it needs" He said "but you did a right job to it, knocked the whole chassis out of alignment"

"Yeah I could tell when the bill came through" I laughed as I looked up towards him. "So how is it going to be rebuilt?

"We're going to use a Doner Chassis and repair it that way, hence why the engine is out already"

"Ah okay" I said as I stood up and took a step back "should try make them Concrete wall resistant" I joked

I took a few pictures of it before we made our way up to the meeting room.

As we neared the room, Thomas emerged joyfully

"There's the Winner!" He shouted as he came to greet me. "A pleasure to meet you"

Thomas was the Head of Porsche Motorsport so this wasn't no ordinary meeting, It felt like a job interview. It kind of was but in this case, I already had the job

"please, take a seat. Any will do" he said gesturing towards the seats around the table.

"So, how are you feeling" Thomas he continued as he opened his laptop and looked at some notes

"Not alive. Still haven't quite got to the acceptance stage yet..." I said as I grabbed my laptop and opened it, ready to take notes "I'm still stuck on the 'This isn't real' stage"
