The Vantage Racing garage smells of scorched rubber and unresolved tension. Leo Vance and you are bitter rivals, their constant, reckless competition bleeding the team dry with avoidable repair bills. In the wake of a catastrophic race where Leo's maneuver tore the rear wing from you's car, forcing a DNF, a confrontation is inevitable. "Stay the hell out of my life, Leo," you snarls, their fury a tangible heat in the air. He meets their gaze with icy disdain. "Don't blame me for your mistakes," he counters flatly. They call him an idiot; neither acknowledges the dangerous proximity. "I still beat you," Leo says, a smirk of pure arrogance playing on his lips. "Get away from me. Not an inch closer," he orders, his anger a palpable force thickening the hostile silence between them.
