Once the racers entered the mountain trail, the three cars behind were slowly catching up to the two cars ahead.
Having zero f*** at the moment, I didn't bother to slow down at all albeit the complex track. Without any hint of emotion on my face, I raced like the wind.
Even at the next hair pin, I had only slightly braked, before changing the gears and stepped on the accelerator again. The beautiful drift was still unleashed at the narrow curve under my control.
However unbeknownst to myself, the high speed and consecutive successful drifts had slowly lit up a small scorching fire which grew little by little, climbing up to my core with all its might.
The race and the sound of the wheels grazing the asphalt had gradually sent wave upon wave of thrill towards my heart. It was beginning to tremble at its last defense. Thus, sending a tingling feeling throughout my body.
I hadn't realized the changes yet but I did knew, a thought had subconsciously formed inside my head.
'I want to win.'
'I want to conquer this race.'
Almost instantly after that thought had emerged into my head, my heart pounded and a surge of immense 'desire' won over me, I turned my gears and stepped on the gas pedal. My car accelerated and slightly overtook my competition.
I didn't realize it at that point, my dormant heart had unknowingly beaten more loudly than before and my eyes were laced with ambition.
These waves of emotion were the first flicker of my unyielding heart.
....
Towards the third hairpin which was immediately followed by a double apex, I turned to brake slightly and drifted skillfully across the hairpin. However, since I didn't speed up as previously, the black car had overtaken me once again and led the competition.
The other three racers had also caught up with us right away. I scoffed and sped forward trying to catch up to him again.
But, at this moment, I heard a loud 'bang' from behind along with the screeching sound of the car wheels. I glanced at the rear-view mirror and saw the GTR who was lagging behind previously had cornered the Mustang to the edge of the fence.
I knitted my eyebrows and this time didn't slow down at the double apex. My car immediately drifted at the cursive road.
However, when my car had almost finished off the turn, I was met with a loud 'bang' and my entire body shook along with my car. The GTR had collided with me.
In an instant, my car was casted aside and slammed against the street fence loudly. Fortunately, I had braked right away the moment I saw the GTR closing in on me. So, I didn't damage the fence and fell down the hill, though my car had come to a stop after the collision. The GTR went straight ahead afterwards along with the Mustang and the Ferarri overtaking me.
I opened my closed eyes and they had completely darkened. My heart was currently beating erratically and my whole body was wrapped inside the veil of fear.
However, instead of calming down, I gritted my teeth and floored the gas pedal. My car immediately lunged forward and chased after the others. My heart that was originally shrouded with fear and shock instantly dissolved into a raging anger.
My mind blanked out and I saw red as my car accelerated and overtook the cars one by one at the third narrow turn, until my car arrived before the GTR.
By the time we were closing in the midpoint of Belle Apres, I slammed on my accelerator and went straight for the GTR's trunk. Another loud bang was issued in the air and the enemy's tail light had been smashed to pieces from the collision.
However, that wasn't the end of it. My lips curled into a bloodthirsty smile. It was hauntingly gruesome yet begat a charming sight that drew in the beholder.
In a flash, I shifted my gears and alleviated my car speed to another level as it once again slammed onto the GTR while it was drifting through the chicane.
But this time, it wasn't at their tail light. I had punched a huge dent on its body and pushed the car straight towards the black car at the front which ensued a chain collision.
The GTR smashed into the black car and they were both dragged towards the street fence with my car giving an all-out push at the side.
The screeching of the car wheels met its end at the sound of a violent crash. The momentum had resulted in a massive bent to the street fence.
As soon as the silence had once again settled in, I moved my car backward and drove away towards the finishing line.
