The road to the top is long, hard, and unforgiving, but the team principle Ren Yoshizawa is steadily climbing up the ladder, bit by bit. The goal? To be able to race in the ranks of the pro division in the J-Speed J-SA GT Masters endurance championship. Drivers: Ren Yoshizawa (@rollingdragon) Dino Calle-Carrara (@waifuguy#1) Karlie Engel (@stuttgartsweetheart) --------------------------- Ren Yoshizawa Nationality: American Birthday and Age: May, 28, 19 YEARS OLD Stats: Skill: 20 Consistency: 13 Tenacity: 13 Preservation: 12 Driver Level: 54 Base Hiring Cost: 2,380,000 CR Experience Level: 55 (Total of Stats - 4); GOLD Driver Classification % of Earnings Taken Per Race: 50% Specialties: Pro Tuned Earnings: Earnings for Season 1 = Can be found on the DRP Team Tracker Earnings for Season 2 = Can be found on the DRP Team Tracker Lifetime Earnings = Can be found on the DRP Team Tracker Growing up in Lake Tahoe, Ren Yoshizawa grew up in an area of influence. The area is well known for its influence, it’s heavy focus on tourism, and the beautiful views of the Sierra Nevada mountains. He grew up on the Nevada side of the city, where legal gambling and other shady practices went hand in hand with the tourism. He flourished well in school and got a handful of awards and merits from various school clubs and national organizations. Taking an auto mechanics class early on in high school, Ren discovered one of his biggest passions. Growing up in an age where there were a handful of video and media outlets that covered the culture of street racing in Japan (Option Heart, Waifuhunters, and 765 Video to name a few). He watched the video specials, read the magazines, and even went to far as to make little scale models of some of the more famous cars that were influential to the street racing scene at the time. When Ren got his first vehicle, a late 90’s Toyota Tacoma pick-up truck, he worked extremely hard to get it converted into an off-road monster that could tackle local hill climb events and impromptu challenges out on the open road. The good times would not last, however, as he left America due to unknown circumstances (rumors say he left because of a death in the family). Upon moving to Japan, Ren began to work his way up the street racing scene in the Bay Area of Tokyo (the capital of Japan). The road to the top was long and tedious, being called various names in the book by the locals who had a stigma against “Gajins”. This hatred and various other emotions went directly into his vehicle of choice at the time: A late 2000’s model Honda NSX (NA2) that started out as a wreck in a junkyard about 50 miles southwest of Tokyo. As time progressed, the car slowly started taking shape. The distorted shape was restored back to perfect condition, the rust and scratches were primed and eventually painted in a color similar to the Spa Yellow Pearl option offered by the manufacturer, the car began sporting various rare and high-performance parts, and eventually, the car sported a full body kit that was done by one of the tuner village shops based out of Osaka: Tsuchigami no Kyojin. With a machine tuned to perfection under his belt, Ren took to the C1 Loop in Tokyo to begin honing his skills. Using the same emotions he had put into his car of choice, Ren became a driver with insane amounts of talent. Night after night it was the same: high-speed showdowns at over 100 miles an hour on the loop line and 9 times out of 10, he would win without much trouble. The yellow NSX eventually began building a notorious reputation in the street racing community, and in various street racing documentaries (including some that were shot by current sponsors in GRL), Ren would purposefully drive dangerously close by some of the people who were out filming to make sure his car would be known across the automotive world. He eventually expanded onto the touge racing community and gained a similar reputation there. Now, after becoming a success in Japan’s underground street racing scene, Ren is looking to make a permanent and noticeable mark in the GRL. Taking all of his experience he’s learned from Season 1 and his street racing career (which he still actively participates in today), he uses this experience to his advantage. He’s collected various merchandise from the teams that participated in the 1996 J-Speed Association GT Masters as well as items from Tsuchigami no Kyojin and he actually has a few collectibles in his personal vehicle and in his Battle of Kaido car. His ultimate goal is to take his team and himself to the top of the J-Speed Association, and eventually earn a spot in J-Speed’s GT Endurance PRO category alongside those who inspired him as he was growing up. Roleplay Notes: -Despite his troubles growing up, Ren comes off as a calm, friendly, and caring, individual. He usually tries to conduct himself in a respectful manner. -Some of Ren’s favorite teams include; Honda Team Red Xevious, Tsuchigami no Kyojin, Team Yoshimitsu, and Hoshi Racing Sports to name a few. -He likes to talk about his merchandise collection, and will sometimes wear apparel from the teams he follows. -He is a major fan of articles written up by Dino Calle-Carrara and is currently helping him restore a 1999 Nissan Skyline GT-R (R34) that is running on his team. -He currently lives in Shinjuku, Tokyo, Japan but is considering moving to Yokohama at the end of this season. He parks his cars used in GRL next to the vehicles that brought him to glory in the garage. -Outside of GRL, Ren runs a high-end premium car dealership and car tuner. It’s based in the same city he wants to move Dragoon Racing Project to, Yokohama. -He travels to other major cities in Japan every once in awhile to see the local talent. Cities include Osaka, Nagoya, Yokohama, and Hiroshima to name a few. -The brands that Dragoon Racing Project is under sponsorship were hand picked by Ren because he wanted to stick with brands he had personally purchased from while he was growing up. Karlie Engel: Nationality: German Birthday and age: May 20, 1999 / 17 YEARS OLD Stats: Skill: 18 Consistency: 10 Preservation: 10 Tenacity: 8 Driver Level: 42 Base hiring cost: 870,000 CR Experience Level - 42 - SILVER Driver classification % of earnings taken per race: 30% Earnings for Season 2: Can be found on the DRP Team Tracker Lifetime Earnings: Can be found on the DRP Team Tracker Born in Leipzig, Germany, Karlie Engel was born into a family that had significant ties to the automotive industry. Her father, Hans Engel, was a test driver for various vehicles and her mother, Anna Engel, worked at Customer Center in the same city. The family enjoyed the perks of being a Porsche family: a nice house in an upscale district of the city, family outings to various racing events in Europe, and a solid salary were just a few perks of the job. Hans would even bring his daughter to work, and on some days Karlie got to ride alongside her father in prestigious vehicles, such as the Porsche 911 GT3 (996), the Porsche 911 GT2 (996), and the Boxster to name a few. When Karlie was just shy of turning six years of age, Anna was taken away from the family due to a critical car accident that happened during a business trip to Stuttgart. The surviving members of the accident, Hans, and Karlie were affected by the sudden loss of the mother figure of the family but were able to recover. One night while driving home from a clarinet recital that took place in Stuttgart, something happened that night that would shape Karlie’s interest in vehicles. About halfway home, a street race was going on between two vehicles on the expressway. One was a slightly modified Mercedes-Benz SL500 in a glossy looking black, but the other vehicle was a bright yellow Lamborghini Diablo SV. The Diablo was chasing after the SL500 and made a risky pass that flew right by the side of the vehicle Karlie was sitting on. This incident stuck with her, as after this she began collecting Lamborghini merchandise alongside her Porsche merchandise. She even had a poster of an SV similar to the one she saw that night hanging in her room, next to a picture she had of Anna. Shortly after Karlie graduated from High School she began work in a corporation that specializes in private investigations, she eventually became used to her job and became one of the corporation's contacts in Germany. One of the perks of the job was a significant salary, that paid special bonuses for each completed contract. Slowly but surely, she began to climb the ladder and started to gain wealth and influence. Work, however, was to take her far away from home. Her job needed her to move to a country that could be considered a stark contrast compared to life in Germany; Japan. Beside herself, Karlie was part of a unit that had two other people: Minori Maruguchi (a person she was already familiar with, as the school Karlie went to back in Leipzig had a foreign exchange student program that Minori was a part of), and Ayako Natsuki. Together, these three became a special unit that dealt with certain individuals and certain sectors of the underground in Tokyo. Among one of the targets was, at the time, a newbie to the expressway scene in Tokyo: Ren Yoshizawa. This would eventually lead to a handful of showdowns between Karlie’s unit and the lone expressway racer. Things would get hairy in a few cases, as dangerous encounters with Tokyo traffic and other racers almost resulted in very heavy crashes that could have easily taken out any one of them. This peaked when Karlie (now owning an Aventador with heavy modification it) took on Ren during a one on one grudge match that started on the Route 3 line in Shibuya, rounded it’s way around the southern section of the C1 Loop Line, turned south onto the New Belt Line Route (or the Shinkanjyo as some racers call it), then finally ended at the Parking Area in Takumi (off the Wangan B exit that takes racers back up to the Mukojima line). The battle gained significant media attention from various outlets, and as one reporter put it: “The battle on the expressways that took place tonight is something special. A high-speed grudge match that has never been seen before, and may probably never be seen again.” Now, Karlie seems to be dating the person she was assigned to keep tabs on, as she and Ren recently became an item. Dino Calle-Carrara This Sponsor has a Sponsored Driver. Sponsored drivers provide their own accommodations, thus not taking up a Driver Slot, but you MUST enter them in the class they wish to race in. Nationality: Italian Birthday and Age: October 2nd, 36 YEARS OLD Stats: Skill: 10 / 30 Consistency: 8 / 15 Preservation: 10 / 15 Tenacity: 1 / 15 Initial Hiring Cost: -- CR Experience Level: Level 25; Bronze Driver Classification % of Earnings Taken Per Race: --% Specialties: Japanese Tier B cars Summary: An artist and a petrolhead simultaneously at heart, Dino grew up during the height of rallying in the late 80's and early 90's. His father took him to numerous rally and rallycross events in the country, always traveling for that perfect shot. This inspired him to take on motorsport photography himself, but yearning for more exotic locales, he moved out to Japan after his 21st birthday. Initially covering J-Speed Taikyu and GT Masters, he soon caught notice of the drifting and tuner craze that was taking Japan by storm. Despite covering numerous events at the professional level, Dino himself has never competed much outside of autocross and club-level Tuner events. While he loves his R34 GT-R just as much as any proud owner should, he decided that he'd be better off paying for a seat on an upcoming GRL team rather than risk his waifu-car getting wrecked. Can anyone blame him, though? RP Notes: - Thinks Akiha Nakai is a great tuner, but isn't a fan of her hoarding the numerous pink slips she's won as prizes. - Absolutely loves his R34 GT-R, but never wants to turn a lap in true anger with it; many of his car's parts are rare, limited-production pieces. - Ironically, he prefers seeing priceless historic race cars being raced in historic events, turning laps in all kinds of anger by rich gentlemen, rather than seeing them rot in museums. --------------------------- Cars: Honda NSX-R (NA1) Haruna-chan Kaido Special Category: Battle of Kaido (Pro Tuned) Cost per Car: 150,000 CR / car Upgrades: Extreme Reliability (10,000 CR) X 1 stages Basic Engine tuning (5,000 CR) X 3 stages Race Camshaft (5,000 CR) X 1 stage Power Step Up (2,500) X 8 steps Basic R&D Components (5,000) X 10 Wing Aero Analysis (7,500 CR) X 3 stages Body Aero Analysis (10,000 CR) X 3 stages Upgrades Total: 152,500 CR Nissan Skyline GT-R (R34) Tomoko Touge Monster Category: Battle of Kaido Cost per Car: 150,000 CR / car Extreme Reliability (10,000 CR) X 1 stages Basic Engine tuning (5,000 CR) X 3 stages Race Camshaft (5,000 CR) X 1 stage Power Step Up (2,500) X 8 steps Basic R&D Components (5,000) X 10 Wing Aero Analysis (7,500 CR) X 3 stages Body Aero Analysis (10,000 CR) X 3 stages Upgrades Total: 152,500 CR Total Cost: 302,500 CR Endurance: Honda NSX R J GTE: Cost Per Car: 275,000 CR Basic Engine Tuning (50,000 CR) Race Camshafts (50,000 CR) Eco Spec EMS (50,000 CR) Grueling Endurance Test (100,000 CR) X1 Total Cost: 525,000 CR BMW M3 (E92) Modellista Special Category: Battle of Kaido (Pro Tuned) Cost per Car: 150,000 CR / car Upgrades: N/A (Fixed) Total cost: 150,000 CR Engineers: Cynthia Archer Nationality: American Birthday and Age: August 28th, 27 years old Class: Powerhouse Current Level: Level 1, 5 Phases to Next Level 0 Perk: Rapid Engine R&D; Engine Tuning takes only ONE Phase when assigned to this Engineer.

Ricardo Lionheart • GRL Admin WRA Administration Posts: 823 Likes: 653 Gender: Male	Post by Ricardo Lionheart on Nov 25, 2016 23:52:24 GMT -5 zerojdm On an expressway vaguely towards the direction of the Dragoon home garage, two key representatives are cruising together in a light pink Honda subcompact car, completely unmodified. Driving the vehicle appears to be an older woman dressed in her usual maid cafe costume, and her acquaintance, a somewhat tomboyish and messy-looking younger adult girl. "Aren't you excited about this~!?", asks the driving maid with an excited expression. "About two of Tomie's homeboys taking them podium spots? Hell yeah, girl! Tomie-chan's all hyped up about it right now!!" "Haha, you and me both. It's nice to finally confirm that Ren-san is a truly capable driver~!" A couple of hours pass during the trip to Dragoon's HQ in Shinjuku. While stopped at a local fuel station, the maid pulls out a cell phone to ring up the team's offices, hoping to get a hold of team principal Ren Yoshizawa. "Hai Ren-san~! Haruna-chan here. My coworkers and I saw your performance at Sepang yesterday evening, it was awesome to watch~! We wanted to stop by to celebrate your first podium!"

It's a bit packed here tonight, a few friends of mine are over celebrating as well."

We'll be there in a few minutes..." A few minutes race by as if they were mere milliseconds as the compact car pulled up to the front of the Dragoon home garage. In an attempt to peak the attention of the team principal, Haruna calls up Ren again... then Tomoko snatches the phone from her. "Yo, Ren-san, what up? It's your homegirl Tomie here. Haruna brought Tomie along to celebrate too, mind letting us in?"

There's a blue Lancer Evolution X, a red Mitsubishi that looks like a Lancer Evolution X sportback, two R34 Skylines (one white, sporting a Veilside kit and one red, sporting a homemade body kit), and a blacked out C6 model Corvette all parked in an orderly fashion. There's some sort of loud hip hop like music playing from inside the garage (it can be slightly heard outside). The outside of the garage looks somewhat humble, being ran out of a middle aged building. Ren picks up the phone as they pull up... "Yo Tomie!" There's a few voices heard in the background as well as the music "Yeah go right ahead... I'll be up in a minute..." Shortly after he hangs up Ren emerges from one of the doors, looking for the car Haruna and Tommie pulled up in...

He seems very excited, there's a girl walking out of the same door Ren walked out of. She's about the same height as Ren (if not slightly taller), has long blond hair with big blue eyes, and has slightly pale skin. She's wearing something of a weird outfit, a blue skinsuit that runs down to her upper leg area (it also has sleeves) with a brown stripe down the middle, as well as gloves and boots with a similar color motif. She almost looks like a spy of some sort, but she looks slightly younger than Ren... "Hey everyone!" Ren excitedly says "It's good to see you all again!" He has a very excited tone of voice, and is obviously happy.

"I'm so proud of you~!!! See, your fortunes are turning around already! Now you can definitely know I trust your ability behind the wheel." She runs up to Ren and hugs him just as tightly as they did when they first met at her shop. "Wow, Tomie didn't know Haruna liked them that young," states Tomoko with a dirt-eating smirk on her face. Haruna immediately lets Ren back down onto his feet after Tomie's little verbal jab. "Oh, come on, Tomie-chan! He could use a hug as a celebration gift, don't ya think!? We're friends!" "Well, Tomie brought some Eien no Tomi for everyone here. Y'all look mad young, promise Tomie you won't tell anyone, and that you won't go on the highways for tonight, alright? We should celebrate it like we won a World Championship right now, don't cha think?"

Ren is a bit embarrassed but gets the message nonetheless... "Thank you H...aruna." There's a slight blush on his face, he fixes himself up before continuing on "A lot of my friends and possible candidates for the team here are here celebrating today... even though our GRL team is quite small, outside the league we're like one big family. One these new members is my girlfriend, Karlie." The girl behind waves at Haruna and Tomie, Ren is somewhat unaware she's standing there. "Tomie, it's almost like we HAVE won a world championship... been working for so long to try and secure a good finishing position ya know?"

"It's great to know my little Ren-san is on his way to being a star, and it looks like he'll bring his friends on the way, too!" Tomoko stopped drooling. "Alright then; let's get celebrating, huh!? Tomie spent a bunch of money on this sake, so let's get drinking!"

The girl says, Ren turns around, shocked to see his girlfriend standing there. "How did you get there...?" Ren asks "I'm sneakier than you think..." Karlie says, she giggles a bit afterwards

The above post(s) that range from Nov. 25th @ 10:52 PM to Nov 26th @ 1:22 am are for an RP that has now finished). It's a cloudy day today in Shinjuku, a young man in a dark gray almost black business suit with same colored pants that look somewhat expensive, with a white undershirt, a white tie, and black dress shoes. He's an average build with black hair, black glasses, and blue eyes. The man, Ren Yoshizawa, seems to be running testing on a heavily modified Honda NSX (NA1) that is attached to a dyno in his garage, which is not too far away from the major station (Shinjuku Station) and major landmarks that happen to be located close by. The man looks like he hasn't gotten very much sleep, but is thoroughly enjoying his job. Dotted across his garage are various, heavily modified cars. Including a black Liberty Walk M4, a gray Rocket Bunny S15 with blue decals, and a yellow Acura NSX just to name a few of them. The garage itself is not too bad, with various tools and sponsor posters that can be seen on the NA1 scattered across the garage. Lounge music, almost similar to smooth jazz seems to be playing out of a nearby radio that is in the garage. There's also a chalkboard in the back of the garage with the Battle of Kaido standings on it. How he obtained this collection of cars and the current NSX that's being tested is a mystery, and a few questions could be regarded to his age because he's somewhat younger than the other people who frequent the racing scene in Shinjuku, but that doesn't seem to matter to him. All that matters to him are the numbers on a nearby computer, which reflect the dyno times. The door to the garage seems to be open, and as pedestrians walk by they can not help but notice the strange yet interesting scene. "Soon enough I'll get the times I need and want, and hopefully I'll be able to take home a good finish for the finale..." Ren says with eagerness.

JimmyT1996 • Member Posts: 70 Likes: 34 Gender: Male	Post by JimmyT1996 on Jan 16, 2017 8:40:46 GMT -5 zerojdm --------------------------- Although he had no previous knowledge of Japanese culture, nor their language surrounding it, Thrasher Kato had adapted to life in the land of the rising sun since he made the trek from the states over 6 months ago. The transition was unlike anything he had experienced before; new cultures, different rulesets, unique food, all withing the confines of a hustling and ever growing, ever evolving country. After been taken in by the owner of Tomoko Powered Garage, Tomoko Ishigawa, Kato had been provided the needs to race in the Kaido Battle Championship. As part of his "contract" with Tomie, whenever he wasn't working on the cars in the shop, he would be a delivery boy, transporting replacement parts to different teams within the Tuner Village. Whilst most of these deliveries were within the Osaka prefecture, this past delivery was different. Thrasher was given a box that contained parts ordered from a cross-town rival. 500km and 6 and a half hours later, he was roaming around the Shinjuku Prefecture in Tokyo, trying to find the address that was scrawled on a piece of paper. "Where the hell is this place? I feel like I'm driving around in circles..." All of a sudden, a massive surge of noise vibrated from a nearby alleyway, accommodated my the massive whoosh of white smoke ventilating through a pipe on the wall. "I'm guessing that's the place. But why down an alleyway? Is this like some shady business deal that Tomie never told me about?" Kato would drive over the cobblestone pavers that lined the street to an open roller door, making way for a rather large warehouse-like building, cars, tool boxes, and equipment neatly scattered across the garage floor. Parking his R32 just outside the garage door, he shuts off the engine and steady's himself. Meeting new people wasn't a strong suit of Kato's, as he always had trouble trusting others after his first betrayal all those years ago. "Come on T! It's just like meeting Tomoko for the first time. Although she spoke English, and I barely can speak a full sentence in Jap... Screw it, I'm going in!" Closing the door of the GT-R behind him, Thrasher would put on his patented black leather jacket with faded white wing insignia overtop his red muscle tank top shirt he wore as his regular outfit. Black baggy cargo pants with red straps looping down from the waistline overlapped his flat black and white sneakers he wore whilst driving long distances. Ruffling through the brown and red hair-bangs atop his head, Thrasher approached the garage entrance, his ears were hit with the sweet smooth melody of the jazz music playing overhead before a loud rasp of engine noise drowned out the music. Pulses of energy from the engine bounced around the room and off the walls, rattling and vibrating the dog tags he usually wore around his neck. Looking around, Kato was in shock and awe. "Man, this place is insane! I've never seen a garage this big. You could almost fit the entire Tuner Village shops in here, and then some!"

"I've had my shop here for a little while, and just here recently I've been trying to expand a bit to accompany more projects I have in the works. People who frequent the area call me crazy, brilliant, or both for doing what I'm doing because they never expected a street racer to go pro." He then proceeds to type a few things into his computer and seems to save the dyno set up he has going. He then turns around, and upon noticing who the new figure is he seems somewhat surprised. "Well isn't this a surprise!" He seems to proceed to offer a handshake as a welcoming gesture. "It's nice to finally meet you outside the track, Mr. Kato." He seems to take note of the box Thrasher is holding, confused to what it is and who could have ordered it.

Yeah, I'm surprised to be here myself! Although I would have been here sooner if that blasted Van didn't break down on me.I do hope I have the right address; I'm horrible at reading Japanese, even with Tomoko teaching me the basics. Ugh, gimme a sec, I just gotta put this heavy thing down..." With an almighty sigh, Kato gently placed the box down onto the polished concrete flooring, which shimmered and sparkled underneath the huge downlights that engulf the entirety of the garage in a bright white glow. Straightening up, he stretched his back from all the seat time he got from the journey over. "There are still two more boxes left in the car, though I might need some assistance lifting them out. That is if you're not too busy at the moment?"

"Show me where you're parked at and I can help unload everything you've brought up here today." He looks at the box and takes notes of the contents inside, as well as which shop they came from. "I'll be sure to give it to whoever ordered the parts. It must have been one of my friends who did as such because I don't remember ordering any parts within the past few weeks..." As if on cue from mention, a blue Lamborghini Aventador with a Liberty Walk kit rounds the bend towards the garage. The car with it's bolted on fenders, somewhat aggressive aero, and the sound of a heavily tuned 6.5 liter V12 seems to be roaring low as the car pulls up behind the vehicle that Thrasher arrived in. The driver of the vehicle parks behind the car. The doors swing up, and out of the vehicle emerges the girl that was at an earlier celebration, Karlie Engel, steps out of the vehicle. She's wearing what she was seen in last time. Noticing the car parked outside, she knows that what she ordered from one of the tuner shops arrived. She grins a little bit before making her way into the garage, towards Thrasher and Ren. "I see what I ordered from Osaka is here." The girl says, there's a slight hint of a German accent in her voice but not enough to know for sure. She looks friendly enough, but something about her appearance seems strange.
