Eirik felt a big grin appear across his face. He hadn’t taken the lead all that often so he thoroughly enjoyed it. To the point he had forgotten that the car was unstable and about to fall apart.

'''“The Tirbaun of Team Al’maquic has entered the pitstop!” '''

Apparently that announcement was enough to snap Eirik out of his ‘high on adrenaline’

''Ah shite, the pitstop! Completely forgot! ''

By that point they had yet again left the city gates and were back in the open. And it seemed that was exactly where the Silverblood behind him was waiting for. Suddenly, out of the blue, the gigantic car lay into the wheel arches of the Tirbaun in front of him. Causing it to wobble.

“What the…!”

The Nord felt his heart almost stop because of the brutal push and maintained the car on the road with the best of his abilities.

The silver car darted passed him. While the driver thereof smiled at Eirik in the struggling car.

“You piece of shit!” The Nord seethed

If they weren’t racing right now, he’d have that Imperial pussy by the throat right now. Eirik stepped on the throttle, full force.

But the car in front of him proved to be much faster all of a sudden, as if the tied race from last lap was all a hoax just to fuck with some heads.

By now, the Tirbaun of team Sevanici started to smell like something was burning.

“Come on… Stupid thing! Go faster!” Eirik shouted in a rage. As he punched the steering wheel with one hand.

The corner heading back into the city came up.

'''“Ladies and Gentlemen, prepare for the last lap! It seems the Silverblood has taken the lead again!” '''

The silver monstrosity yet again had troubles with the turn.

<p class="MsoNormal">''Now I’ve got you… ''

<p class="MsoNormal">Eirik, still in a rage, pulled into the highest gear he could manage while taking the turn and readied himself to overtake. But the silverblood just managed to turn and retain the lead, though by now, the Tirbaun was literally biting at his heels.

<p class="MsoNormal">The gearbox started to rattle, so did the steering wheel. The entire car actually. But Eirik managed to get neck-a-neck with the silverblood, right after the both turned passed the giant oak.

<p class="MsoNormal">The Imperial driving, simply smiled at Eirik from underneath all the protective wear. A big grin of perfect white teeth, eager to be punched out.

<p class="MsoNormal">Eirik saw him smile in the corner of his eye.

<p class="MsoNormal">''What’s so funny? ''

<p class="MsoNormal">At that moment, as both cars arrived at the main road in the spotlight of all attention. The Tirbaun T2 made a loud clunking noise followed by blue flames coming from underneath the hood. Eirik lost all control of the vehicle and what happened next was quite shocking.

<p class="MsoNormal">The car exploded in a blaze of blue tinted fire, accompanied bythe horrible sound of metal tearing itself apart.

<p class="MsoNormal">A collective gasp from the crowd could be heard as the burning wreck hurled further down the track because of the momentum. Scraping passed the pitstop and across the finish-line until it eventually come to a halt a good 20 meters further.

<p class="MsoNormal">Hanna was practically paralysed for a few seconds. In shock.

<p class="MsoNormal">'''“Oh dear me… Seems there has been an accident… err… The Tirbaun T2 of teamS has caught fire and has come to a dead stop in the middle of the road.” '''

<p class="MsoNormal">The Imperial snapped out of it and wanted to run on the track and help her friend out of the burning wreckage, but she was held by one of the pitstop workers.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Are you crazy! The cars still have to come through!” The man yelled, as the load roaring of engines from the other cars became louder.

<p class="MsoNormal">A few stopped in their pitstop zone, while the rest dodged the burning car in the middle of the road.

<p class="MsoNormal">It seemed like the atmosphere of the race has severely changed. People could be heard talking rather than cheering.

<p class="MsoNormal">The man holding Hanna let go of her. She then quickly ran across the track towards the car, following a trail of smouldering parts.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Eirik!” She yelled, hoping he’d respond somehow. But when she got to burning wreckage there wasn’t much hope that he could’ve survived. The driver’s seat was completely covered in flames and it was almost impossible to make out whether or not someone sat there.

<p class="MsoNormal">She was joined by mechanics who had fire extinguishers and roller boards with them, to move the car to the side.

<p class="MsoNormal">'''“ladies and gentlemen, I’ve just been informed that the race will continue as planned, our mechanics and medics are aiding Team Sevanici as we speak” '''

<p class="MsoNormal">“You have to move back!” A mechanic said to Hanna who seemed willing to jump into the fire and get her friend out.

<p class="MsoNormal">“My friend is in there!” She pointed and yelled.

<p class="MsoNormal">“We’ll do our best. Now move!”

<p class="MsoNormal">She put her hands on her head. Not knowing what to think. Clueless to what she could possibly do.

<p class="MsoNormal">The Imperial looked on as the fire was doused and the car was moved to the side of the track.

<p class="MsoNormal">
