The Final Gear Wacky Races - RACE THREAD.

Oh shit, oh shit. I'm late.

Third person mode!

Dsemaj runs to his Diahatsu Midget II and fires up his Chevy Small block. He realises that Stig has been waiting all this time (Lucky for him, Stig is unable to get angry in any way or form). He revs it up, drops the clutch. The power is overwhelming.. the front of the car starts to rise like a dragster.. just without the wheelie bars. The car flips upside down and slides into a ditch

Dsemaj is left upside down in a ditch.. he also doesn't know what place last is.
 
FDaihatsu, who had just finished changing tires, makes a :shakefist: gesture to KaJuN as he didn't saw him. So he sets off in pursuit
 
The EF1's turbo is fixed, and we've just taken a detour to pick up one of Perry's and Alain's mates. Yep, Damon Hill is now with us.

And now we've blasted past Team KaJuN and ran Abraham Lincoln over his foot with both our left front wheels. (Tyrrell P34 configuration... so 6 wheels:D)
 
Distracted by the delicious BBQ, team Scuderia Gman-Lurker Brown Shakedown thrusts onward with their diced lion powered jet engines.

Lurker signals Gman to start up the booster and chuck some g-strings and thongs at American TG man's car...
 
A strong gust of wind blows the Midget II out of the ditch.. somehow. Dsemaj grabs Stiggy and tapes him to the rear of the car. He hands two wheels to Stig. Dsemaj now has a wheelie bar!

The Midget II's small block fires up and sets off in hot pursuit of the other racers.. without flipping like last time.
 
"You've done a rally driving course, ain't ya Tyrone?"
"'Cause I 'av"

This is not obvious, as the moment we arrive at the mud-shit covered road we immediately slide off, although to his credit Tyrone somehow regains control through sliding into another car, neither of us see which, and thus we avoid the nearby ditch. Eventally we make it out of the slop, and are now in the front running.
 
Having sat at the starting line for the last 2 and a half hours, our Phantom roars into life and quickly accelerates to its top speed of 323 mph, gaining on all the competitors. On one of the laps, we cut off cdbob and his top heavy bus. So close that it made him swerve to avoid hitting us, and topple over.
 
There's a knocking noise coming out of the boot. We pull over to see what's going on... and surprise, surprise, we have a clandestine passenger. Who is this mystery man? More updates after his interogation.
 
Looks like we got a puncture when we took our short cut, so we need a tyre change. We couldn't afford a pit crew, so we have to stop at the side of the road. This could take a while, so I put Dastardly at the controls of the Rolls-Royce Merlin powered Trailer. It's remote control you know.

The trailer speeds off, catching up to cars that have just passed the carawagon as it pulled over. the exhaust blows over a K-car and smashes a lot of windows as it gets up to 8th place.

Meanwhile, I'm changing the wheel and Dastardly stamps on the brake pedal, jamming my middle finger in the drum. OUCH!
 
Passing vikirad's pulled over Ford Focus, we slowed down just enough so to allow Jeremy to open the windows and hit their mysterious passenger on the head with his hammer, knocking him out cold. "Hahaha, no interrogating for you."
 
AmTGMan's radio crackles to life, telling him a pit stop is needed. The Lola flies into the makeshift pit lane set up at a gas station. A DTM-style pit crew sets to work on the car, while AmTGMan and Clay swap places. The topped-up car drops to the ground and, in a flurry of wheelspin to get some heat in the tires, Clay enters his first stint, rejoining in 12th place.
 
A slap to the face wakes up the mysterious passenger. He looks rather uninterested. Trying to reach for a bottle of vodka jammed between his legs, we realize, to our shock, that we were carrying the current F1 World Champion around without even noticing!!!

It's Alain's turn at the wheel... but we can't see what his expression is as he goes behind the wheel for his stint, because his hair obscures his face. Then it's Perry's stint up to the morning, then Damon, then me again.
 
Mad Max climbs out of the Carrier's cab while doing 75mph, and makes his way to the back of the vehicle to pilot their secret weapon, a Volkswagen Super Beetle equipped with a Subaru drivetrain and a Mazda Wankel engine.
 
The KaJuN kart has to make an unscheduled stop at a child's lemonade stand to fetch Mr. Lincoln some ice because of the cowardly low blow from vikirad. The plan was to grab some ice and go but the team just couldn't refuse tall Dixie cups filled with ice cold lemonade for only 15 cents. During the stop, either due to superior cunning or blind luck (knowing the team's principal driver's lack of the former we believe the latter) the kart was parked at the perfect angle so that the orange foil aerodynamic package directed blinding sunlight into the path of other racers.
 
One of the lions came undiced (!) almost mauling Gman as he tried to shove it down the tube that leads to the engine bay.

The lead that Team Scuderia Gman-Lurker Brown shakedown had was now reduced as they grind to a halt in the pitstop for some refueling, change of tires and a bit of therapy. Poor gman :(
 
Being blinded by the sunlight reflected off the KaJuN kart, the Phantom Corsair plowed right into it doing a good 190mph. Luckily the karts aerodynamic adons saved it, and sent the Corsair flying into the stands, where upon landing it punctured all 4 tires on the bleachers. Jeremy is not amused.
 
Unnoticed, team FDaihatsu goes up to 8th place with no mechanical faults to be reported. FD puts Jpop CD in the stereo, and volumes up Haruhi songs to the brim. :mrgreen:
 
An increasingly intoxicated Team Parklife is pulled over by a police car, which it turns out was the car we hit on the mud trail. Just as the officer gets the breathalyser, CrazyRussian's Phantom rockets past, and crashes into the kart. The officer is distracted and sets off to see if there are any injurys. In the meantime we get back into the car and get back to the race.
 
Upon catching up with team Gman-LurkerPatrol, we open the sunroof of the car and take Kimi and throw him into the other car, to serve for Gman's enjoyment and as a source of distraction for him as we get rid of the ballast and roar off into the distance.
