As Taka pulled into the fog-drenched parking lot at the base of the pass, he saw the competition. A fleet of pristine machines: an RX-7 with a wide-body kit that cost more than his apartment, a R32 GT-R that crackled with the fury of a thousand Godzillas, and a low, menacing AE86 with Watanabe wheels so clean they looked forged by angels.

"Car number seven," the starter said, handing him a magnetic number. "You’re against the GT-R. Lead-follow. You lead first." She didn’t laugh

She didn't say "good run" or "nice save."

Mistake.
