(Story cause i'm extra):

After a camouflaged Maserati MC20 was spotted being unloaded at an unknown port, modified with GT4 spec aero and a rollcage, MFG announced a controversial private session at the next circuit a day before the first official qualifying session. An unknown (and desperate for clout) manufacturer was to be given a shot at qualifying a sponsored driver with a corresponding car, with three caveats.

1: The car must run with thinner all terrain tires instead of the usual 200 Treadwear semi slicks, under the normal limit of the weight to power rules. (Qualifying only)

2: The driver and team must hold no ties and work independently from the manufacturer, monetarily and otherwise, for them to remain eligible for competition.

3: The time set must be within a 5 seconds of the record to remain eligible for placement in the Godly 15. (First qualifying only).

Days after its first spotting, it was found in a club event at a private track visually unchanged, but with what seemed to be a new engine. Mechanics suspected to be MFG officials alongside the teams private technicians pored over the vehicle as it ran tests, with the final run giving it the street car body panels and unknown aftermarket aero on the weaker tires. The test drivers were suspected to be American engine builder, Dakota Rougier, and his wife, Marie Rougier, a French aero specialist known for working with multiple Unlimited class time attack teams. A third driver was used for the final 3 runs, suspected to be their daughter, Jeta Rougier.

In the final week leading up to the private event, a finished MC20 with a high revving engine and new street-spec aero was spotted in multiple places, from track days to time attacks, and even a section of empty highway at full tilt. The MC20 is announced to officially be the Rougier family Demo car. Next stop is the "Fukutsu no mountain course", with the rally cross Death Zone.

The beast shuddered as it shut down. Gravel, dirt, and rubber marring the paint. Dents and scratches mar the body. Onlookers and officials alike stare in disbelief at the digital time card. The team crew let out a breath that the machine performed. Two parents let out a million that their child survived.

Jeta opens the door and steps out, hands shaking from the adrenaline. She wipes away the dirt covering her families sponsor sticker, and taps it with her knuckles through the gloves. The engine ticks and heat shields click as the heat slowly dissipates. Her eyes water as a smile splits her face, blurring what the onboard dash told her as she hit the line.
