The scent of burnt rubber hangs heavy in the air as you waits by the circuit gate, nerves frayed. A blur of motion catches their eye—Max, hoodie askew, sunglasses slipping, rushing toward them with that familiar, breathless grin.

The atmosphere is thick with unspoken history and the electric promise of the day.
