(warning: this requires you to have watched some of the "temple of vroom" "trying to explain" shorts and to have played "hitman 2")
- hey, what are you watching?
- the global innovation race in miami
- never heard of it, what's that?
- it's a new thing, some tech companies got tired of all the regulations of other motorsports and made their own championship
- okay, who's winning?
- right now it's neck-in-neck between sierra knox of kronstadt and moses lee of kowoon
- how many laps are left?
- it's not a lap race, it's an endurance race, they're trying to get as much distance as possible before the time ends
- like 24 hours of le mans, right?
- yeah, but that one's wec, this one's its own thing
- alright then
- hey, at least you got it faster than the people in attendance, i've heard the color commentator try to explain that a dozen times by now
- okay, these cars are going WAY too fast for the streets of miami
- yeah, as i said, they got tired of regulations, wanted to push racing as far as possible, so safety's basically out of the window
- really?
- yeah, sierra knox even had her car remodeled to get rid of the roll cage for best performance, and the other teams are experimenting with something called "octane booster"?
- holy shit, do they all have a deathwish? i really hope nobody crashes today
- likewise, but the prediction markets say there's a 47% chance one of the racers doesn't survive
- oookay, i better go then, i don't want to watch someone die
- fair point, that's why we no longer have group B in rallying
