"Ten!!!" Thomas raised his left arms high as he started the countdown.

"Nine!!" Louis watched as the racers revved their engines.

"Eight!!" Carlos had a thought in his mind. "This is it!"

"Seven!!" Mr. Kenner had his arms crossed, looking at the purple GT-R on the starting line. "You can do this Airi!"

"Six!!" The two Brit's Marcus and Tony stood at the sideline, anticipated for the race to start.

"Five!!" JL and Joel cheered for the R32. "Go Airi!!"

"Four!!" Katie and Rachel crossed their fingers, hoping for Airi to win.

"Three!!" Felix kept a straight face as he revved his Mustang. "I'm not gonna let Mitsura win tonight!"

"Right on!" His Mustang agreed.

"Two!!" Airi looked at the road in front of her in fury.

"One!!"

"GO!!!" Thomas threw his left hand down.

(Beat drops)

The racers took off the starting line immediately. Living a cloud of smoke behind as they raced on the streets of L.A.

"AAAAANNNND THEIR OFF MAKE SOME NOISE LOS ANGLES!!!" Morgan yelled excitedly as he held his microphone like a rockstar.

Airi accelerated, clutching and then shifting into third gear. The first corner on the street came, a slight right. The first four competitors easily went pass the corner. When it was Airi's turn, the purple hair then braked and did a power over through the turn. Pushing the accelerator upon exiting the turn.

She managed to keep up with the racer from Team #67 in his metallic yellow BMW M4. Sneaking onto the left side behind the M4.

"Looks like Team #100 is gonna sneak past Team #67 into fourth position." Richard announced. The footage of the race being broadcast from the drone flying high above the racers.

Airi shifted into fifth gear and shot past the M4 before entering the next left turn on the inside, gripping all the way.

Katie and Rachel watching the live broadcast cheered for their purple haired friend. "Let's go Airi you got this!!"

The voice of the Christmas carolers were replaced by the loud revving sounds and tyre skids of the racers as they flew by through the streets of L.A.

The next racer in third position was Team #29 in a left green Lamborghini Huracan. Airi tried to sneak past it again but the Huracan blocked her attack. She grunted and followed the green Lamborghini into the next curve.

Felix flew by into a junction where the racers are required to turn right. He downshifted, braked and pulled the E-brakes. Doing a simple hand brake drift around the corner.

He was in second position, there was a Team #83 with a three second gap leading from Felix. He was in a devil red McLaren 650S, it's loud V8 engine roared down the streets as he moved his fingers on the shift pedals, switching into fifth gear.

Felix then reached for the walkie-talkie. "I'm almost there. Get ready for it."

"*static* Sure thing boss! *static*"

"Don't get caught ok." Felix said into the radio as he counter-steers into another corner on the streets.

"Ok." There was a man among the many people in the crowd that were waiting for the racers to fly by at any moment. He heard the tyre skids as the racers closed in. The crowd went nuts upon seeing the cars except for the man who stood still watching the racers coming in fast behind his dark shades.
