Chapter 113

Chapter 113 For Tomas, Turbo Impact wasn’t just a racing team. It was his lifeblond, the embodiment of his lifelong dream, and the final wish of Tristan Without Turbo Impact, what meaning would remain for a disabled and solitary old man like him to continue living in this world?

Little did Shirley know, her impulsive decision had just saved Tomas‘ life.

Charlie immediately stepped in to answer on Tomas” behalf, “Yes! Of course, we’re recruiting!”

Tomas took a long moment to regain his composure. His voice was hoarse as he looked at Shirley. He asked, “Why Turbo Impact and not other racing teams?”

With Shirley’s background and potential, she could join a better team, compete on bigger stages. Why would she choose a fallen giant like Turbo Impact?

Shirley’s expression was eamest as she replied, “Both Tristan and you are legends in the racing world, heroes of Celestia. I believe many, like me, don’t want to see Turbo Impact vanish from the tracks She paused briefly, then continued, “And there’s another reason. I want to become the next Tristan.”

“I want to become the next Tristan.”

The statement was like a stone cast into the still waters of everyone’s hearts, sending ripples through their emotions How many among them had stepped into the racing world because of Tristan? They had nearly forgotten that Tristan was once a god in their eyes. He has set a standard no one has surpassed to this day.

And here stood Tomas, trembling and frail, the very man who had trained that racing legend.

Shirley added, “I believe that no matter how times change, you’re still the greatest mentor out there. Turbo Impact will regain its former glory and even surpass it.

“Turbo Impact will regain its former glory and even surpass it.” Shirley’s words brought tears to the eyes of both Tomas and Charlie, Tears welled up in Charlie’s eyes, his voice filled with emotion. “I never thought that at this point, someone would still remember us old–timers.”

Tomas‘ eyes shimmered with unshed tears too. He stepped forward and clasped Shirley’s hand tightly, his voice trembling with determination. “I believe in you. I believe you’ll surpass Tristan. ”

For that declaration alone, Tomas vowed to pour everything he had into training Shirley.

He would mold her into the second coming of Tristan. The mission he and Tristan had failed to complete would now rest on her shoulders.

He wanted the racing fans of Celestia to see their national flag rise on the F1 stage. He wanted them to hear their national anthem play in the Fiarena.

The other racers looked on, bewildered by Tomas‘ intensity. Training another Tristan was no small tear, let alone entrusting such hopes to a woman like Shirley. Tristan had been Celestia’s only driver to come within a hair’s breadth of F1. He was a legacy unmatched to this day.

While many talented racers now emerged from Celestia, perhaps one day someone would surpass Tristan. But it could never be a woman, let alone a complete unknown like Shirley.

To everyone, placing the hope of reaching Fron Shirley seemed nothing short of a delusional fantasy.

Yet they seemed to forget that just a few nights ago, a video of a mysterious girl in a Bugatti had left them all in awe.

Shirley and Tomas agreed she would report to Turbo Impact the next moming. They exchanged phone numbers, sealing their pact.

Later, Shirley borrowed a car from Tomas and took Damian and Janine to the Westzone Racetrack for a casual spin.

she drove cautiously with Damian in the car, unwilling to risk going too fast, But her slower pace drew mocking laughter from other racers. “At that speed? There’s no way she’s making it into the National Grand Prix!”

Elizabeth, who hadn’t yet lett, smirked as she pointed Shirley out to Sabrina and the other racers. “Look at her crawling along. I can already see her eating her own words. Wait here, I’ll show her what real speed looks like.”

With that, Elizabeth climbed into her car and sped off, talling Shirley with clear intent.
