Raiden Motorsports
Follow us on Tripwire! @team_raiden
Team Manager: Cody Miller (Formidable) Net Handle: @miller_cody17 Nationality: American Birthday and Age: November 28th, 39 YEARS OLD
Team Headquarters: Sears Point, California, USA
Team Summary (last edited in January 2016): Raiden was founded in 1989 by a 50 year old gentleman Raiden Takatsuki, and started off as a garage and aftermarket business. The business went smoothly, and soon Mr. Raiden started looking into joining the world of motorsports. In the early 1990's, Raiden was competing in JSA GT. The team had two drivers, named Cody Miller (who was 17 and from the US) and Haise Tegatchi (who was 26 and from Japan). Raiden himself, of course, would be the team manager. They competed in 5 seasons, and in the 3rd, nearly clenched a championship win with Cody Miller behind the wheel.
At the beginning of the 4th season, Mr. Raiden let his friend, Hakane, take over the business. However, he cheated and scammed many for money, and the company had many lawsuits filed against it. He soon realized the mistakes he was making, and that the business was spiraling down in flames Eventually after the 5th season had ended, the Raiden company went bust along with the team. Haise went off to get an education in automotive engineering, but Cody had a different idea. He went to Raiden and talked about building up a team from the GTE-Am series, and up. Cody still had a decent amount of cash leftover from his winnings in JSA GT, so he wanted to revive what he was once a part of. And so, on December 8th, 2015, Cody Miller announced that the Raiden Motorsports team was back. Now they are back and entered in RHverse, looking to make a name for themselves.

Ryan SnettertonNationality: English Birthday and Age: February 26th, 22 YEARS OLD Stats: Skill: 23/30 Consistency: 11/15 Preservation 11/15 Tenacity: 10/15 Initial Hiring Cost: 2,020,000 CRExperience Level: 51 (Total of Stats - 4); SILVER Driver Classification % of Earnings Taken Per Race: 30% Specialties: Grand Prix Earnings: EVENT & SEASON - PLACING - CR EARNED Earnings for Season 2 = X CR Lifetime Earnings = X CR Summary: Mr. Snetterton is a young man looking to achieve a simple, yet hard-to-reach goal in life: be a racer noteworthy of being put into the history books. Having his racing dream since he was little, he's always wanted to be a famous race driver just like the drivers he looked up to back then. However, that task was not an easy one for him. He was born into a poor family who worked on a farm in the middle of nowhere in England. It was his uncle's farm, who he had been living with since he was 7 years old when Ryan's parents filed for divorce, and neither of his parents gave him any support. The fact that he had little money and little help from anyone made it just that much harder for him to fulfill his dream. This didn't stop the young Ryan from trying to reach his goals however. He built a kart out of stuff he found in the junkyard, and miraculously, it had worked. He self-trained with the kart as much as he could to get some racing experience down. The course he made was around his farm, in which he called it, "Farmland Ring". Since he had done well in school, he got offered a job at a mechanic shop, where he could get to know more about cars, and most importantly, get money to put forth his racing career. He went through karts, then up to Formula Ford, and managed to win a championship in the latter. With some decent experience under his belt, now he was eligible to enter legitimate professional competition. In a better position than he was before now, Ryan hopes to continue his journey of being a noteworthy driver that racing fans everywhere will be enthusiastic about. Roleplaying Notes: -Very sincere, but when talking casually, tends to be sarcastic -Can get along with just about anyone, no matter how annoying or stubborn they are. -Hates spending long periods of time indoors. Loves the outdoors more. -Has the tendency to break the 4th wall -Daily: SRT Viper Haisei TakumakoNationality: Japanese Birthday and Age: September 19th, 24 YEARS OLD Stats: Skill: X / 30 Consistency: X / 15 Preservation: X / 15 Tenacity: X / 15 Initial Hiring Cost: X CR Experience Level: (Total of Stats - 4); GOLD Driver Classification % of Earnings Taken Per Race: 50% Specialties: Endurance, Tuner Earnings: EVENT & SEASON - PLACING - CR EARNED Earnings for Season 2 = X CR Lifetime Earnings = X CR Summary: Throughout his whole life, Haisei has been pushed by his family to be only one thing: a winner, and nothing less. Growing up near Mount Fuji in Japan, Haisei Takumako was raised in a wildly successful family. His father, Ryu Takumako is a former CEO of SOLG Technologies within Asia, and ruled both the business and his own family with an iron fist. When Haisei at a young age told his father he wanted to be a racecar driver, Ryu immediately shot down the idea. Nonetheless however, the young man persisted and eventually got him to give in, but on one condition: win or be left behind. Unfortunately, Haisei did not set a dominant performance in the first season of his karting career, thus he was shunned and ignored thereafter. That didn't stop young Haisei though; joining a new team and determining to prove his father wrong gave him the strength he needed to blow away the competition in the seasons following. Roleplaying Notes: -Brutally honest about everything he says -Gets made fun of for trying to speak philosophically -Says winning is all that matters to him, even though he wants more than that -Him cracking a smile is a rare sight Hannah Taylor
Net Handle: @haytay117 Nationality: Australian Birthday and Age: November 7th, 19 YEARS OLD ( Original Profile Picture) Stats: Skill: 30/30 Consistency: 12/15 Preservation: 12/15 Tenacity: 13/15 Initial Hiring Cost: 5,400,000 CRExperience Level: 64 (Total of Stats - 4); PLATINUM Driver Classification % of Earnings Taken Per Race: 80% Specialties: Sports Car, Grand Prix Earnings: EVENT & SEASON - PLACING - CR EARNED Earnings for Season 1 = 4,190,000 CR Earnings for Season 2 = x Lifetime Earnings = 4,190,000 CR Summary: Hannah Taylor, or “Miss Taylor” as the media and many of her fans call her by, is a prodigious Australian girl who grew up with her two other twin sisters near the Melbourne area. It was always hard to keep her motivation for becoming a professional racing driver up while twin sister Jessica Taylor was always one step ahead of her in driving ability. She tried her hand at karts at the age of 8, but soon felt that becoming a pro racing driver is not the path she first wanted to venture. Not wanting to give up her passion for cars in general, however, Hannah stepped into doing car photography when she was about 13. Every car meet she could search up on and every racing event in her area, such as the Melbourne Grand Prix and any races at Phillip Island, Hannah would put an effort to go to. She was in paradise, and kept on doing car photography up until she had just turned 16. Although photography was her main hobby, Hannah still honed her driving skills through sim racing off to the side in case she decided one day to go back into the racing in scene in a helmet and firesuit. After feeling left behind by while her own two sisters progressed in their careers, she jumped back into the driver's seat in an Asia-Pacific GT4 championship in a Ford Mustang, which saw her earn many victories and eventually a two championships. Her time in GT4 lasted until she was 18 years old, when Cody Miller of Raiden Motorsports offered a contract to race in two different GT3 championships in Europe and Asia in the Mooncraft Shiden MC-16. Although a championship wasn't in her reach the first season, Hannah managed to earn many top 5's, some podiums, and a race win at Sepang. In the end, Hannah's ultimate goal is to make her way to the top to rival her other, arrogant twin sister Jessica. A toxic conflict has been in between the two for a long time, and she hopes to settle things once and for all when she arrives at Jessica's level. How long it takes or whether she'll make it can only be told as time passes. Roleplaying Notes: -Very extroverted, calm, and level-headed when interacting with others. -Tries to spread positivity to her teammates whenever needed. -Can get very ranty, especially when the topic about her sister Jessica comes around. -Values her friends to a higher standard than to herself. -Daily: HSV GTS Maloo Amy RadcliffeNet Handle: @suprameowapowaa Nationality: American Birthday and Age: April 2nd, 18 YEARS OLD ( Original Profile Picture) Stats: Skill: 24/30 Consistency: 12/15 Preservation: 11/15 Tenacity: 11/15 Initial Hiring Cost: 2,590,000 CRExperience Level 54: (Total of Stats - 4); GOLD Driver Classification % of Earnings Taken Per Race: 50% Specialties: Sports Car, Pro Tuner Earnings: EVENT & SEASON - PLACING - CR EARNED Earnings for Season 1 = 4,700,000 CR Earnings for Season 2 = X Lifetime Earnings = 4,700,000 CR Summary: "HOI! Super-Super Lady Amie here to deliver some MEOWA POWAA~! (...damn, I can't end her summary there? Stupid two-paragraph requirement. -- Ricardo Lionheart) Amy "Super Amie" Radcliffe is what happens when a very hyperactive girl is allowed to run full-tilt into absolute nonsensical silliness. Her infectious enthusiasm stands out to the point where Amy's presence can be felt even at opposite ends of the Mulsanne Straight. Combine this with a virtually unbreakable commitment to her friends, family, fans, and the teams she races for, and you have a driver whose potential is limited by... well, something definitely much higher than the sky. Unfortunately for her, sheer energy can't win championships on their own. With Amy's personality quirks, it seemed like she should have been the absolute last person to be involved in a racing career. After all, unlike many drivers as young as she is competing at this level, they had fought through the ranks of karts and Grand Prix racing to get where they are now. Amy, on the other hand, after getting her racing license at 14 was well-backed to buy her way into whatever race seats were available. Touring cars, club-level Lightweights, Spec Roadster, Petit Grand Prix... it didn't matter to her. Sometimes, even on the same day, Amy would be driving in two or even three entirely different disciplines at the same racing weekend meet. At first, Amy was nothing more than an annoyance for the club regulars. She'd hound the mid-pack for a lap or two, then sharply drop off. But when more and more teams started to notice her pluckiness and enthusiasm for the sport, they started taking Amy as seriously as any other driver. Her teams' commitment to her "never-say-die" attitude would reward them with a damn-near never-ending slew of top five finishes throughout the 2015 season. Despite lacking the raw talent of more "professional" drivers her age, Amy outwitted and outlasted rivals who on paper should always beat her. Despite her non-stop slew of senselessly mangling English and random verbal tics together, it is tough to deny her almost endless stream of energy and determination. She behaves as if the world is rainbows, unicorns, and Koenigseggs belching rainbow unicorn farts from their exhausts, and it shows. Amy's wish to race in the RHverse is a unique opportunity for her to bring Meowa Powaa~ to a global stage, and perhaps lift the spirits of her future crew as well. Roleplaying Notes: - Despite seeming very, very childish, Amy towers over literally EVERYONE in the Driver's Market. - As her introductory phrase shows, her English is massively mangled with an assortment of random verbal tics, most of them seemingly lifted straight from comedic "slice-of-life" cartoons from both the East and the West. - Profanities don't seem to exist much at all in Amy's mental dictionary; if she is somehow upset at something enough that most people in her place would cuss, she has a tendency to say things like "Puu puu" or "Fuzzy Bunny" instead. -Daily: Mazda RX-7 Yukiho Signature Edition Lauren Valeska Nationality: Polish Birthday and Age: September 18th, 20 YEARS OLD

Summary: Despite being born in Poland, neither of her original parents were Polish at all, as Lauren's actually mix of Indonesian and Russian race. Growing up through primary school was hard for her; she spent a lot of her days working at home afterwards when both of her parents each attended two, awfully underpaying jobs. They were not poor, but were on the verge of becoming so because of wages at their jobs having been lowered even more from before. Lauren promised to participate in international business solely for the wish of releasing the everyday stress of working two jobs from both of her parents.
In high school, Lauren was able to learn 2 different languages, plus 1 more on her own time. They were French, German, and Japanese. She wanted to learn a fourth one, but for some reason it came as a struggle to her; the language was English. Although she was able to learn the words themselves just fine, putting them into speech and into a sentence was a task.
So, Lauren had all of this interest in doing international business. Where does the racing aspect fall in? Watching races on TV was one of her favorite pastimes in middle school. When she was karting with most of her highschool friends with the same interest at a local go-kart track, she'd always run rings around them, even managing to lap them at times. Lauren had a natural talent going for her, and when she graduated from college, she was determined to jump into the racing scene. Lauren applied for a racing license and was put in a young driver's program for three seasons before she was released onto the RHverse driver's market. Now she's looking to kick off her Racing Heart Universe experience with a bang, as Lauren knows that a great and long career waits ahead of her. Roleplaying Notes: -Has the most difficult time speaking English. Not is really of being grammatical! -Made fun of often because of her English. -A total sweetheart and optimistic all around. -(continued from above)....until you make her mad. Then she gets really pissed off and cusses people out in Polish. -Daily: Renault Twingo

Idle Master Open Results After 29 laps of constant head-to-head racing, Raiden managed to clench a podium 2nd in their first race with Hannah Taylor behind the wheel. Amy Radcliffe started in 25th, and gained up to 12th position by the end of the race. Hannah was fairly satisfied with her results, but as 1st place was taken from her on the 2nd to last corner on the last lap, it was not the most satisfactory 2nd place. We talked with Hannah who was in the #11 Shiden to see what her thoughts were. Hannah: "Ah, y'know it can happen. I was pushing so hard trying to keep Motegi off me, but I just didn't quite have the right line to keep her behind. It's tough being in that top 3 pack with two cars constantly surrounding you; one you're trying to defend yourself from, one you're trying to pass. Overall, I'm still very happy with my 2nd place though, I'd never thought I could keep myself up there for that long, but I was so driven to keep going, it's just hard to stop when you've got two cars nose and tail, but what a great race this was. Ryoko and Motegi had me absolutely on the edge of my seat the whole time I was up there, and I couldn't have asked for a better battle. I've never had such an adrenaline rush in my life, and I'm so happy I got to experience it in my first race in GRL. Hopefully the next race in Catalunya I'll be even sharper than I was here." We also had a talk with Amy Radcliffe, who drove the #28 Shiden. Amy: "HOI! Y'know Super Duper Ammie was be tearing up the track! Started me self in the score of 25th place, and then I FELT A SURGE OF MEOWAA POWWA BLAST THROUGH MY SOUL! I MET EYE-TO-EYE WITH ME FIRST CHALLINGER!!1! THAT BAKA WASN"T GONNA TO TAKE SUPER SUPER DOOPER AMMIE ALIVE SO I USED MY SHARP-CLAW MANEUVER, AND THEN 'RAWWWWRRRRR!' THAT FELLA DID NOT SEE A THING COMING I WAS SO FAST..." (we decided to stop the notation here.) Great racing from both Hannah and Amy! Next stop, Catalu-NYA

Hannah and Amy were now boarding the plane to Spain where they would be racing in the 3rd round of AESS. When they sat down, they noticed there was a reserved seat between them. Wonder who's sitting there they both wondered. The flight attendant as usual was going through the pre-flight safety and rules, but then was shoved out of the way by a young looking man.
Flight Attendant: The emergency exits will- *gets shoved*
?: Sorry! I'm boarding a little late.
The man would actually happen to be the person sitting in between Hannah and Amy. The girls couldn't help but think that they knew him from somewhere before.
?: *sigh* Almost missed my flight. I guess things aren't really "taking-off" today, are they?
Hannah: I guess we all have those days, huh...
Amie: (whispering) Amie don't know 'bout this guy. Looks like a total loser.
Hannah: (whispering) Tsk, says the hyperactive girl with no grammatical knowledge...
Amie: (whispering loudly) Says the dumb Australian blondie that spins people out for a living...
Hannah: (whispering louder) That was only once-
?: Um, you guys do know that I can hear all of this, right?
Both Hannah and Amy freeze in embarassment.
Hannah and Amie: S-sorry!
?: Hah, it's fine. I guess I am a loser. I'm the one that went out of last round in fire.
Hannah: Hold on, you're Giulanio from Okuma, right?
Giu: 'Tis correct!
Hannah: Oh, hahahah. Sorry about my friend here... *Hannah noogies Amy*
Amie: Gwahhhh, stop ittttttt! Your master Amie commandeth to halt at onceeeeee!
Giulanio laughed to himself. He'd never been around company like this.
Hannah: By the way, I feel for you about last race. I can't imagine doing great and then just have some random car on the field come plowing into you to end your race. I hope your doing well.
Giu: I'm doing fantastic! Besides, I'd rather go out in a blaze of glory. I think it's more stylish that way!
Hannah: *giggles* (whispers to herself) Sounds like my type of guy...
Giu: Pardon?
Hannah: *blushes* O-oh, it's nothing! I just had s-something on my mind.
Before they knew it, the plane made a violent jolt. They had just landed in Spain. Hannah and Amy got off the plane with Giulanio and exchanged farewells. Then Amy knew it was the perfect time to make a smart comment.
Amie: So you two gonna date or what?
Hannah: NOT GOING TO HAPPEN!
Amie: Oi, oi, no need to get your fuzzies in a wuzzy! I just you two would be so cutesy-wutsey! I can just imagine it! THE LOVE! THE ROMANCE! THE- MMMPHH!
Hannah had covered Amy's mouth.
Hannah: *sigh* Children never quit, do they... comon, let's go.

(The next morning after the J-Speed Round, and from Hannah's perspective)
I woke up with a pounding headache. Last night was the roughest night I'd had in a long while, but Amy had it worse. Cody is taking her to the doctor's office because she had been coughing and wheezing all night. Poor Amy, I hope it's nothing serious. I had planned to see Hilde and Kasumi today with her, but in her condition I'd be the only one going. Cody said him and Amy should be back by around 1:00pm, so I thought I'd bring her some lunch back; and maybe bring Hilde and Kasumi.
I was waiting at the restaurant we were meeting at. A few minutes later, I could see both of them come into view about half a block away. Hilde's hair had grown slightly longer since the last time I saw her. Kasumi, looking as adorable as ever, had her hair up in a pony tail and a cute smile on her face.
"Hey Hilde, Kasumi!"
Hilde: "Oh, there you are Hannah!"
Kasumi: "Hey- um, where's Amy? I-is she doing okay?"
"She isn't feeling well. My team manager had to take her into the doctor's office today. No worries though; Cody doesn't think it's anything too serious."
Kasumi: "O-oh no, that's terrible! Please tell me she'll be okay!"
Hilde: "She's going to be fine, Kas. We'll see her when we're finished with lunch, okay?"
"Yeah! Amy will be glad to see you then."
Kasumi: "Okay!"
(RP will be continued in the 2nd post)

Having finished lunch, we headed back to the hotel. Cody had texted me to say that Amie had pneumonia and needs to rest in bed for a few days. I had gotten Amy some take-out. Hot soup and Teriyaki chicken; her two favorite Japanese foods were what I had gotten her. That on top of Kasumi and Hilde visiting will make her feel so much better. Hopefully. I opened our room to see Amie in bed, sound asleep, and Cody sitting beside her bed. "Hey Cody, how's she doing?" "Looks like she's sleeping pretty peacefully as of now. Her pneumonia thankfully isn't serious; it's pretty weak, so it should be gone within several days or so." "That's great news. Hey, you two can come on in." Hilde and Kasumi had entered the door. They were both a bit nervous about if the Raiden team manager was okay with them visiting. "Haha, it's okay. I'm glad you came to visit. Amie has great friends watching out for her." Kasumi: "O-oh thank you! It's our pleasure, sir!" Hilde: "Amie is a great and special friend, so there's no reason not to see her when she's feeling ill." "She's special alright, but a good kind." Amy then slowly opened her eyes, seeing the girls and Cody in the room. Hannah: "You had a good rest?" Amy: *sits up in her bed* "Oh, hey hey. Kasi and Hildy are here too?" Kasumi: "How're you feeling?" Amy: "Super duper, yea-" *cough cough* "well, maybe not so much..." Hilde: "Glad to hear that you'll be better soon though. I need someone to keep me on my toes out on the track, haha!" Amy had giggled and then gave Hilde a thumbs up. "You betcha, Hil-de." Amy had then collapsed back onto her pillow. Hannah: "Hey, Amie are you okay?" Amy wasn't responding. Kasumi: No... Amie... wake up. Please don't go out like this-" Amy then let out a huge snoring sound that nearly shook the room. Hannah: "S-she just passed out into sleep like that?" Hilde: "Yep, Cody was right. She's certainly special." Kasumi: "Oh Amy, don't scare us like that! Hee hee." About 10 minutes later, Amy had waken up again and the girls had a bit of a chat. After that, Hilde and Kasumi had said their goodbyes and had gone back to their room. I watched over Amy for almost the rest of the evening. Sometimes I thought to myself that I was maybe a little too worried about her, but she was my teammate; my best friend. In a way, she was like family, and I wouldn't want to give that up. (End.) ( RebelMist )

Hannah had been- wait, why am I speaking in third person? It's not like I'm writing a roleplay or a story or anything.
Anyways, I had been sitting in the pit garage while everyone else was excited about the closing of the Aeternam season. I was bummed; ever since the exhibitions, I haven't been able to get in the top 5. If only my damn Shiden didn't break down at Motegi, I wouldn't be complaining as much. Sometimes I just wanted to opt out of all this; I was so frustrated. I wanted to get a grip on Esther's collar after her brake checking me twice, but I knew that it would only stir up trouble. I just hope next season is better than this. It probably will considering we are most likely going to the Pro class next season, but still.
I walked out of the pit stall with an umbrella over my head. It was raining so hard that even Eau Rouge was flowing like a river. I saw a collection of rear wings at the top of it and two men standing around them. Must be field marshals cleaning up debris I thought. So many had crashed and DNF'd because of how slippery it was. I guess I was fortunate enough not to go out of the race-
"YAAAAHHHOOOOOOO!"
My thoughts were interrupted by a shout. I then was watching the damnest thing happen on Eau Rouge.
"These rear wings aren't bad surfboards, eh Lucien?!"
"Somewhat unstable, but yes. Not bad."
Lucien? Giu? were surfing down Eau Rouge? What in the hell?! How are they doing that? Was the flooding that bad? I was so dizzy and confused with so many questions that I stumbled and fell back. I felt the someone catch me from behind, but who?
"Hey there beautiful. You doing alright?"
It was Efrain from DAJ.
"Oh yeah, I'm fine. Just a bit dizzy that's all." I replied.
He had helped me back up, but his hands were still at my hip and shoulder.
"You poor thing; Esther kept giving you trouble the entire race. Why would she do that to a girl as beautiful as you are?"
What the hell is with this guy? I haven't even met him until now. Why was he smooth talking me now?
"I feel like it's destiny! We should get to know each other better. Should I take you to dinner tonight HannAAHHHHHHHHH!"
A girl with pigtails had grabbed his ear and yanked it hard, which I'm surprised it didn't come of from how hard she had yanked it.
"Efrain you IDIOT! What the hell are you doing talking to this blonde bimbo?"
"Ah uh, I-I was just j-just trying to comfort her you see! That's all! Ahahahaha- YOW! Will you quit pulling my ear?!"
"Quit the smooth talk. I know you were trying to flirt with her, so don't even try getting away with it. Comon, let's go."
And with that, I thought the day couldn't get any weirder, but I was dead wrong. I went on Tripwire and saw... hang on... Kasumi and Hilde?! On the victory circle?! WITH LIPS LOCKED ON EACH OTHER?! My face turned bright red when I saw the picture. then I read the post. Kasumi had tripped and fallen on Hilde, then accidentally touched lips? That's gotta be one of the most embarrassing things ever. I was happy about them getting a 1-2 finish though. They deserved it more than I did. Then I saw Amy running towards me into the pit stall. She was giggling about something, but what? She had the biggest grin on her face as she started to speak.
"Hanny, you missed it! Hehehe... just watch this video I caught."
It was a video of what happened at victory circle. She couldn't help but laugh, it was so hilarious to her. At least Amy had a good finish this race. It always makes me feel better seeing her happy. Hopefully when I got to Sepang, things would get much better. I needed to end this season off on a good note.

(Hannah is in narration of this RP post) Gah. It reminds me a lot of Spa, except the rain is lighter. A crappy result with crappy weather. They're saying that there's going to be more of a downpour for Suzuka. Can it be sunny for once? Like it was at Sepang? Anyways, I headed back to the pits. I wasn't bummed out as much however, since I managed to win the last race. Other than that, it's been a hell of a season, and I just hope things go over smoother for season 2. I just- "FUCK THIS! I QUIT!" My thoughts were interrupted by an angry shouting from what sounded female. I heard heavy pounding footsteps across the pit lane tarmac. A worrying and depressing aura filled the air. I looked to see where it came from. Dark brown hair with pig tails. It was Ryoko. She then sat behind her pit garage with her head resting on her knees and her arms wrapped around her legs. Poor Ryoko. Even though we have a bit of a rivalry, I hated seeing her like this. I debated to myself if I should go and comfort her or not, but I decided too late. Amy had walked over with a worrying expression. "R-Ryoky... what's-" "I don't want to talk..." "Ryoky-" "I SAID I DON'T WANT TO TALK!" Ryoko then started sobbing. Amie had a sad look on her face, like she was about to cry. I could tell she was hurt, but still worried about Ryoko. I'll have to step in I thought to myself. I slowly walked up to Ryoko. Before I could say anything, she somehow immediately knew it was me. "Has Miss Perfect decided to come harass me for me having no chance at the driver's championship?", she sobbed in between phrases. "Ryo-" "I know what you're gonna do. You're going to try and console me with fake feelings just so you can make yourself feel better." "That's not-" "Why does this happen to me?! It's always me who gets treated like the house dog and I'm sick of it! I'M SO DONE!!!" She then started sobbing, but harder. I put my forehead on hers and embraced her. Again, she was my rival, but I could stand to see her like this. "Ryoko, that's not how it is. You're not treated like a house dog, nor do you deserve to be treated like one. You're a great driver with great skill and potential. Your team if I'm honest is not the greatest, but at least they're willing to do anything to make you happy. You're precious to them because you were made for this. You were born to race Ryoko." "Are you serious?" "Totally! I'm not posing any fake feelings here. I need my rival to keep me motivated, y'know? So show no mercy!" "Hahaha. You got it! Also sorry for yelling at you Amy. I didn't mean to hurt your feelings like that." Then all of the sudden, Amie picked up Ryoko and spun her in a circle. "YAYA! YAYA! RYOKO IS THE BEST, OH YA YA!!!" "WAHHHHH! AMIE WHAT ARE YOOUUUU DOOOIIINGGGG! GAHHHH!" Then Amy put down Ryoko and giggled. Ryoko had a big grin on her face. "Thanks Amy, Hannah. You two are the best." And so with Ryoko now looking forward to the season finale more than ever, I'm now on the train heading to Suzuka. The weather will be hell, but that won't stop me from getting through the race. (End.)( maikoheart)

Exiting from the First Season to the Next
As Season 1 of the Global Racing League is about to close, you can't help but wonder what next season has in store. Well let me tell you, there's a lot; especially on Raiden's side of things.
Unfortunately next season, their gorgeous Shidens will not be legal withing GRL regulation, meaning they have to get a new racer, but what? We had an interview with team boss Cody Miller to fill us in on what they plan to use for next season. "It's a shame that the Shidens have to go. They're such great cars, but of course, we have to move on to something else. I'm proud to say that we will be back in different cars, and moving up to the PRO class. From the teaser, you can just tell that it's a Saleen S7R. We'll have the full personal reveal of our cars in the coming weeks, so keep an eye out!"
We asked Cody if he was planning to branch out to any other motoring division the next season.
"That, we are currently in the planning of. There's a possibility that we may be in GT-Am also, but we'd like to branch out to GP and Tuner eventually. Of course Miss Taylor and Amy, our two main drivers, can't compete in PRO and AM at the same time, so we'll have two new drivers if we decide to enter in both classes."
We then went to both the beautiful ladies driving for PRO next season, Amy Radcliffe and Hannah Taylor. The first available was Miss Taylor.
"I'm definitely stoked for this next season. The Shidens have been dear to us this season, but unfortunately things changed and we'll have to do the same. Mr. Miller has planned for us to do some hard core training sessions to really build our driver skill and stamina, so it's gonna be hard work but it'll be worth it in the end, yeah."
Amy Radcliffe, the energy and spirit of Raiden was next in line, having a big grin and an overall positive look.
"Why my excitement for next season is super di duper! This season with the Shidennys had been quite much fun, but mannnn am I pumped to tear up the track in my Saleeny! This first season has been a toughie for I and Raiden, but I'm sure things will get ultra ultra ultra super better next season!"
That was the only time we had to talk with the lovely ladies, but we appreciate them and Cody of Team Raiden for allowing us to publish their thoughts on the coming season. They still have one race left in store before we'll see any noticeable dramatic changes, so we hope for the best for them!

Amy and I had flown back to the Raiden HQ with our team manager to welcome the new drivers racing for us in AM next season. They wouldn't be racing in the same league as us however. Amy and I would be racing in the IMAS Stormsystems championship, while they'd be in J-Speed. I'd had stepped in the meeting area with Amy to be greeted by 3 men. The two new drivers, one with silvery grey hair; one with red hair and eyes that could pierce through someone's soul; and Cody himself.
"Ah, there you two are! Amy, Hannah, I'd like for you to meet these fine gentlemen here."
The guy with silver hair stepped forward and offered his hand.
"The name is Ryan Snetterton. It's a pleasure to meet you two-"
Amy went in for the handshake and shook his hand vigorously.
"Hoi hoiiiiI!!!~ I'm super duper ladie Amie! Me has the pleasing of greeting you!!! Yaya!" "Uh, thanks, hahahaha."
"My name is Hannah Taylor. It's nice to meet you!" I shook his hand firmly. "Nice to meet you as well, Miss Taylor."
Then I went on to greet the next driver.
"It's nice to meet you aswell. May I get your name?" "Brenhylr" "Bren-hill, huh?" "Brenhylr" "Oh, ah, uhm, how about I just call you Bren?" "Ok."
I went in to shake his hand. He had such a firm grip on my hand that it kind of hurt.
"I'm Hannah Taylor, it's nice to meet you." "Yeah."
"Hoi Brenny! It's-a me! Amie-kun! Nicey to meet you, ya!"
Bren had a slight smile on his face. He nodded and shook her hand firmly, although he had a surprised look this time. It kind of seemed like he was in pain, but from what?
I whispered to Amy, "Just how firmly did you shake his hand?" "Oh, likey dis!"
Amy squeezed my hand so hard that I nearly yelled out in pain.
"Ggggggahhhhhh. Amy! That hurt!" "Sorry warry. I shall heal it with the powa of meowa!
She grabbed my hand and did some wavy-hand stuff over it, then said softly, "Meowwwww~".
...
Surprisingly, it actually kind of worked.
The four of us had gone outside to get to know each other a bit more. Amy had gone over to Bren while I talked to Ryan.
The talk with Ryan was actually quite good. He seemed very calm and composed, but also very funny. Knowing how hard he pushed to get his racing career going made me think how easy it was for me. I wouldn't know what struggles he had to go through to get to this point. Meanwhile, over at Amy's conversation.
"So, uh, Brenny, where ya come from?" "Russia." "Oh! Ze motha Russia I see! Yez, yez. You sound awfully America people-ish though." "Yeah." "Moved when you was a youngin I guess?" "Yeah." "You doing alrighty?" "Yeah." "Oh, righty. Hope I didn't get your fuzzies in a wuzzy." "Nah."
Amy had grabbed Bren's chin and got close to his face. His face went red as she did so.
"You know what'd be the totally awesomest bestest thingy ever? We should race together. We really should sometime!"
Bren had a reassuring smile. "Yeah. That'd be abnormical." "Heehee! Indeedy it would be!"
After we had finished up conversations, we headed back inside for Cody to give us the rundown for Season 2 plans. Speaking of the next season, I just really hope it goes better than the last. Last season was tough, but the next one felt like it'd be our moment to shine.
(End.)

We had arrived back in Japan. Since we earned so much in earnings, he's using it on drivers training, and not just your typical driver's training. GRL gold and platinum ranked drivers were going to be giving us tips on our driving skills that we'd hope to improve on. This would go on for several months.
Several months worth of racing and training? Damn...
Cody had also rented apartments/flats for Amy and I to stay in while we were going to be in Japan for a long while. This is going to be a long several months...
(RP to be continued)

It was the first day of our grueling training. The track we were using was Autopolis, which was in southern Japan, or Oita. Apparently there had been other GRL drivers doing their own training sessions, so it'd may be nice to meet up with then sometime along the way. My focus however was getting this training thing over with. I wanted to be in my best condition for next season, and I had a big goal: be a platinum ranking driver by the end of this. It was going to be tough, but not impossible. If I can get some tips from these pro drivers, the next season should definitely be better for me and my team.
I had walked outside to view the Autopolis track. It was a very twisty track with complex corners, some fast ones, and a straight or two. Perfect for honing driving skills. I walked over to the pit garage to see two lovely vehicles. They were Saleen S7-R's we were using for the upcoming season, but they had no sponsors on them; just the base livery.
"I want the shiny red one!" my teammate Amy exclaimed.
White with red was more my taste anyways. It was the color combination I used last season after all.
Our first sessions would be on Consistency. To improve on that, cones were placed as braking zones and apexes. After that, the cones would be set aside, but we'd still have to use the same braking and apex points. Cameras and radio systems had also been placed on our cars to keep track of how and if we were improving. The first couple we hadn't done so well, but once me and Amy had gotten into the rhythm, we were setting faster lap times already. I had shaved about 2 seconds off my original lap time, which was very promising.
The next few sessions would be on Composure. To improve on that, we ran laps on foot around the straightaway and the pits. It was tough at first, but after about 5 laps, I felt like I could run the entire track on foot.
The last few sessions would be on overall skill. The way it was done was we ran laps around the track (in the car obviously) with the high-ranking drivers on the radio giving tips on improving laptimes. I had managed to shave off even more seconds of my laptime just in the first few laps of going out there, and then even further improving. I had felt like I was getting somewhere, and fast.
After the first month, Amy and I got to Silver ranking. The next month, Amy unfortunately still remained Silver, but I had reached Gold tier. The last month of training, Amy managed to get a high-ranking Gold tier status, and I got a low-ranking platinum status. We had learned and experienced so much from those short 3 months that it felt like we could outrun everyone. We'll just have to see if that's actually possible, and very soon. The upcoming season is not far away, and I say this: Bring it on!-
"Uh, Hanny, are you talking to yourself out loud again?" "Well yes. I like to speak out loud while writing in my journal." "Pfft, you can act like such a loner sometimes." "Oh shut up, Ryoko."
Yes, I was writing this from my home in Australia, actually. Ryoko and Amy had decided to come along for a week, so I'm taking a bit of time off after 3 hard months. But anyways, there's only one thing that I have to say about Season 2, and that's "bring it on!"
"Gah, you're so cheesy-weezy Hanny." "What? I'm not the most creative writer in the world." "Exactly. You'd be as good of a writer as a goat, Hannah." "I said shut up, Ryoko!"

How did you add the Excel tables into here, as an image? Printscreen or exporting the table as PDF, then cropping it in Photoshop and saving as a JPG, PNG, etc... That's how I did in my team's thread. I heard of a plugin that can make possible to embed Google spreadsheets into ProBoards forums, but I can't find it now

(This post takes place during Hannah and Amy's training session) (Hannah is in narration of this post) We were about a week into drivers training. I was already wiped out, but at the same time I felt like I could run laps on foot around the entirety of Autopolis. It was at times like this I wish I had the energy boost Amy has. I had just finished my last session of the day, so I walked behind the pit stall into the building to cool off. "Oh, hi there." a voice said. "Weiss?" "Yes. It's me. Weiss Hockenheim. Nice to meet you." "Oh right! The daughter of Sara Hockenheim, yeah?" "Yeah." she said with a sigh. "Well it's very nice to meet you, Weiss." "Yeah. You too." she said very monotonously. It was like she was reading off a script talking to her. She seemed to have this very cold and hard-hearted aura about her. "So I see you're here, but where's your teammate Aaron?" She tensed up a bit when I asked. Did something happen? Worst case scenario, did they release him from the team? "He's doing fine." she said hesitantly. "Just a bit bummed." "Oh? Did something happen?" "He's staying in Am for next season. Someone else is taking the Pro spot he wanted, so yeah, he's not doing too well." "Damn. I'd feel the same way if I was rejected the seat in Pro. She looked out the window. "I just hope he's doing okay." "Huh?" Her face went a light shade of red. "It's nothing. Anyways, talk to you later-" "Ohhhhh Weissy-poo!" a voice shouted. "Yes, mother?" Weiss said with an embarrassed sigh. It was Sara Hockenheim! "Oh there you are! I was looking everywhere for you- oh, it looks like you have company too! Hello there, Miss Taylor!." "G'day, Mrs. Hockenheim." "You two know each other?" Weiss asked. "Why yes, dear! I've helped her in many of her training sessions. Now, I have some dinner prepared. Would you like to join us, Miss Taylor?" "I don't think I can-" Before I could finish, Amy had burst in through the door. "Wooooaaaaaahhhhh! Both the Hockeys are here?! Yayayayyyyy!" "Hello Amie! Would you like to join us for dinner soon?" "That'd be super super super duper, Sarie!" "Great! It should be ready in 30 minutes." Meeting with the Hockenheims was actually quite nice. Sara was as polite and free-spirited as ever, and Weiss, even being known for her cold personality, was willing to join in on the chatter. A week gone by, and it ended with getting to know more league members. I just hoped the continuing weeks would help me more with that and my driving skills. aarror

(From Amie's perspective)
Guh. Tis a scorching day in the Canadia lands. Weren't it supposedly be cold? I thought that what Canadian be about!
Anyhoo, my BFF Hanny and me are venturing in an automobilistic device thingy to the people of the Allstar! The dinner with Weissy-micey was so great!
(Amy, to refresh her memory of the dinner, pulled out her phone and scrolled to a picture where she took a selfie with Weiss while forming two parts of her hair into what appears to be bunny ears)
Uguu. Why did them locate their HQ so many galaxies afar? This going to be a long transport ride for the feline racing goddess. Time to take a cat nap.
(A few hours later and the perspective switches to Hannah)
We had arrived at the Allstar HQ. Cody needed to talk to Jim about some business they needed to discuss. Meanwhile, Amy and I thought it'd be a good idea to meet up with Weiss and Aaron. I had never met Aaron before; although from his social media pics he looks pretty hands- uhm, I mean decent. I got out of the car, and it the temperature felt really hot for Canada. Seventy degrees is something I didn't expect, but I guess west coast Canada is very different from the more popular eastern side where Toronto and Ontario are.
As soon as I shut the car door, I heard a very, very familiar voice. "Hannah-banana! G'day, mate!"
(sigh) Hahah, yep. It was Sara Hockenheim and with her best attempt at my accent.
"Hello Ms. Hockenheim! How are you doing?" "Splendid! Oh, I'll go get Weissy and Aaron."
Sara skipped happily back into the building and a man who I didn't recognize at first walked out.
"Oh, Mr. Jim Mills! It's a pleasure to meet you!" "It's nice to see you, Mr. Miller."
Out came Ms. Hockenheim with very familiar faces. Weiss Hockenheim and Aaron van der Linden. I had remembered at Sepang where Aaron and I were at constant and gripping battle for 1st; however, he had hit my rear quarter panel and spun out into the gravel. That was the first race I had won since my GT4 days.
"Hello, Hannah. Nice to see you both again." Weiss spoke. "Hai hai, Weissy!" Amy shouted as she hugged her tightly. "Oh, and good day to you, Aaron. Nice to see you!" I said to him. "It is a pleasure to meet you, Miss Taylor." The way he greeted me... the way he held and shook my hand- gah! Hannah! Stop being such a weirdo! You just met the guy! Have some damn self control!
Anyways, Jim and the others at Allstar gave us a look-around of the HQ and then afterwards, Cody headed in with Jim for the discussion they were having. Meanwhile, I was with the others hanging out; however Aaron didn't seem keen to talk, and often stayed off to the side of our conversation. I joined him while he was spaced out, looking at the sky.
"So, how's everything going with the team?" "It's going alright so far. Congrats on getting Platinum status by the way. That training really paid off, huh?" "Sure did! It was damn hard work, but it was worth it. Y'know I didn't actually see you with Weiss at the training. Where had you been?" "Oh, I was still here.
