~~~~~~Test Drive~~~~~~
“I must say otouto, you’ve blown my expectations right out the window. Two for two, and once again amongst the top ten. Excellent work baby brother.”
“Thanks…I guess. I met one of the competitors by the way, Kamuto was it.”
“Hmm, Kouga, he is a character. I hope he managed to keep his clothing on long enough to talk to you.”
“Just barely. Can’t lie though, he’s fast as hell. Twitchy as those Koenigsegg’s are he was right on me the entire time, hell if the tunnel at the end was a hundred feet longer he’d have had me. Not to mention how good he was on dirt in the 3-series.”
“Indeed, Kouga is a force to be reckoned with behind the wheel. He may be a careless flirt, walking erection, and stereotypical playboy but he is certainly a damn capable driver. Last season I kept him to second and I must admit that I barely did so; he was extremely close in the final point’s standings.”
“Yeah, I have to say though; I wouldn’t mind that Koenigsegg of his it looks absolutely ballistic.”
“They are, I actually have one. They’re a hell of a handful though, something you want some practice in before taking it to eleven.”
“That said, that Pagani is frankly incredible. I seriously need that car in my life.”
“Keep winning and you’ll be buying your own soon enough.”
“Hell yeah, speaking of which I haven’t even taken the 911 out yet. I haven’t even seen it for that matter.”
“That would be because it isn’t in Monaco; it isn’t actually in France for that matter. Your Porsche is still in Germany, though figure once you get to see it you’ll be just a few minutes from the Nurburgring.”
“Hell yeah. When’s that happening by the way?”
“In a few weeks. You have one more test drive in Monaco, for this round anyway, this being the last of the champions events and then we are off to Spain for a couple of events. I must say, going three for three in the champions events would certainly strike fear in the hearts of the competition, and of course the payoff for double wager races is quite nice.”
“I heard that, so what’s this race entail anyway?”
“I think you’re going to enjoy this one, it’s all sixties supercars.”
“Nice, what am I driving for that, an E-type, maybe an early 911?”
“They’re both in your future, but no; both are excellent sports cars but this group is a bit more substantial. Tomorrow you’ll be driving my Ferrari 365 GTB/4.”
“Your…that’s a Daytona, Sess.”
“Indeed it is otouto.”
“You do know what they go for at auction right?”
“With the restoration quality done on mine, it’s year and mileage, it’s very nearly a half million dollar example.”
“And you want me to drive it competitively.”
“Thrashing the Pagani around wasn’t a problem for you, and that is in reality far rarer than the Daytona, as prized a collectible as it is.”
“True, but that also has modern suspension, a stiff chassis, big brakes, fat sticky tires, etc. The Daytona is a sixties supercar, and all that entails.”
“You’re correct it is much more basic than the Pagani. But I helped in the restoration myself, and I can assure you it all works reliably, and quite well. It’s a handful but it is manageable.”
“Oh great, it’s a prized collectible and you have personal investment in it as well. Thanks for putting me at ease big brother.”
“Did I mention it’s supposed to rain tomorrow?”
~~~~~~The Next Day~~~~~~
Inuyasha hated Sesshomaru, he really did. Sure enough it was raining, and here he was sitting on another beautiful mountain road behind the wheel of a fifty year old Ferrari. It was utterly gorgeous, Concours quality, a rich blue with black leather inside. The Daytona was flawless, completely unblemished and now he was going to race it; on bias ply tires, and sixties suspension, in the rain.
But, there was a thrill to be had. He was in a Ferrari Daytona, in Monaco, in the wet, about to race a pack of other sixties supercars. A pack which consisted of some very, very big names. To his right, Kouga in his second place spot once more, was piloting a bright green Lamborghini Miura P400S, essentially genesis for the modern supercar. The first mid-engine supercar; packing a transversely mounted V12, at the time world leading top speed, and a gorgeous exterior the Miura was one of the all-time greats.
It did have its problems of course, it was a fifty year old Lamborghini, visibility wasn’t great, the steering and shifter were heavy, and the gas tank was moved to the front of the car. Which sounded fine in practice, except for the V12’s fuel consumption. As each gallon of gasoline became glorious noise and power to the rear wheels, the front end effectively became lighter and lighter; making it more of a handful at speed and more understeer prone and unpredictable in the bends.
Behind Inuyasha, there was another very rare supercar, this one an American. The Ford GT40 Mk. III was a road going version of the Mk. I and Mk. II GT40’s famous for kicking Ferrari around LeMans. It was one of only seven built, though it had to be said it wasn’t really all that the racing versions were. Power was dropped to around three hundred and six horsepower, in line with the other road going supercars but not the LeMans winning GT40’s it was derived from. It also wasn’t as pretty, with the rear extended back a bit to accommodate some luggage, and dual headlamps on the front to make it more useful on the road. It was still a proper supercar though, still damn fast and very competent in the corners.
What was next to the GT40 was a bit of a scare as well, actually a sibling of the Daytona. It was a Ferrari 365 GTC, the smaller version of the Daytona, wearing slimmer, tighter sheet metal over the Daytona’s sleek swept back lines. The Daytona had more power, but the GTC was a bit lighter and very muscular with the V12 stuffed in the front of the gorgeous coupe body.
Another Italian was behind the Ford, a Maserati Ghibli SS, a British TVR Tuscan V8 sitting next to it in sixth place. Seventh belonged to a Bizzarini GT Strada 5300 Coupe, another rare Italian supercar, and an Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale occupied eighth. Ninth was also British, a sleek silver Aston Martin DB6 Vantage and next to it in tenth position was a 69’ Chevy Corvette LZ1, the blue American sports car packing plenty of power though it didn’t have chassis on the competitors.
The flagman came up and Inuyasha revved the Colombo V12 sliding the shifter into first with a nice snick. The Miura revved up as well, Kouga having no intentions of letting him make it a three for three run. As the flag dropped, Inuyasha dumped the clutch of a fifty year old, nearly half million dollar, classic Ferrari. Immediately, the bias-ply tires broke loose as they were put between three hundred and fifty horsepower and the wet pavement they were trying to get to.
The Miura was in the same boat, as were the Ford and the other Ferrari. All of them for that matter were struggling though some careful throttling got all ten off the line, accelerating up to speed on the wet road. Running the V12 through its paces, Inuyasha sucked in a breath at the glorious roar of the four point four liter, especially as it barked through his upshift into second.
The Lamborghini was right alongside, it’s 3.9 liter V12 propelling it along just as well. It was actually more powerful, around three hundred and seventy horse in the P400S trim to the Daytona’s three fifty two. But, the Ferrari was a good two hundred pounds lighter allowing Inuyasha to make more of the power on hand.
Behind them the GT40 and 365 GTC were hanging close. The GT40 was light, barely twenty three hundred pounds, making up for its power deficiency over the Italians. It also had a very good chassis for the time, enough to have sent Ferrari’s incredible 330 P4 racecar home empty handed more than once. A good thing for the Ford driver as the road began its meandering course.
It wasn’t as tight as the others, more winding high speed corners as opposed to a string of sharp hairpins and S-bends that made up the previous races. There was still a tight set of switchbacks, actually the same section they’d driven earlier, though they approached from a different road, joined before the switchbacks, and turned onto another road at the top.
“Come on Ferrari, all you have to do is hold back a Fix Or Repair Daily and a tractor.” Inuyasha joked to himself, chiding the Ford behind him and the Lamborghini to his right respectively. The road meandered quickly towards the switchbacks, and there Inuyasha got a proper taste of the Daytona’s chassis.
Seeing as they were climbing this go round, the acceleration could last longer and the braking didn’t have to be quite so clench worthy for each hairpin. Braking into the first left hander, Inuyasha downshifted and let the clutch out, turning in hard and dabbing the throttle, the Ferrari under steering just a bit before the back end stepped out, tires squealing a bit on the wet pavement.
Behind him, the Lamborghini slid out wide a bit further before hooking up, actually allowing the GT40 to draw alongside Kouga’s Miura. Accelerating up the straight, Inuyasha ran it through second, shifting up into third as the other Ferrari slid very wide, the GTC sliding wide on the wet pavement. Braking into the right hander, it was back down into second, feathering the throttle through the rising corner, and keeping careful control as the Daytona swung round.
The next right and left handers came and went in the same fashion, and as he gained traction and pulled away from the switchbacks Inuyasha risked a quick glance back at the competition. Kouga had held back the GT40, a bad shift from the adapted shift linkage in the Mk. III kept it from out-running the Miura in the tight corners. Though, the TVR had done very well for itself on the switchbacks.
A curb weight of just over two thousand pounds, a short wheelbase, and refined chassis helped the TVR blast up the side of the mountain despite packing only two hundred and seventy horsepower from its Ford 289 V8. It was now in fourth, the other Ferrari behind it with the Alfa and Bizzarini in sixth and seventh. The Maserati had fallen back a bit, with the Corvette in ninth and the beautiful but hefty, not as powerful DB6 bringing up the rear.
It was actually surprisingly dull all things considered; the rain had a lot of the cars off the road. The meandering path had only one tight right hander into a rise which led towards the top of one lower mountain plateau. The positions stayed the same, the sixties supercars all powering hard but no one pressing insanely so considering they were all on bias ply tires in the rain.
Despite some concerns from the cars behind him, Inuyasha held the lead and was happy to see the turnaround, a small circle with a statue at the end of the road. The road terminated into tight packed dirt, a statue at the end of the short dirt path. Swinging the car round the statue in the middle of the dirt circle, Inuyasha let the tail slide out a ways and then caught it, powering back down the mountain.
“Half way there, come on!”
The other cars kept to their lane as Inuyasha thundered down his, the GT40 right on his ass. Kouga’s Lambo had slid a bit wide round the statue and the Ford had snuck past, now chasing Inuyasha down as they bombed back down the mountain. Further back, the other Ferrari slid wide again, and the Alfa and Bizzarini pushed it back into seventh place.
All of a sudden, the race that had actually been a bit… subdued became a whole lot hairier. The wet roads that had been a limiting factor going uphill became an active opponent going downhill; slick tarmac and gravity making pushing the fifty year old supercars a dangerous proposition.
The meandering bit of road went quickly, the Ferrari getting a bit squirrely but nothing Inuyasha couldn’t handle as they approached the switchbacks once more. Inuyasha had to get his braking perfect, the old supercar wasn’t going to be forgiving if he braked too late. Yet, he also had to push it if he wanted to stay in the lead. The GT40 was lighter and had its engine centered in the middle of the car, not slung over the front wheels like the Ferrari and as such would be able to brake harder and faster.
Taking the first hairpin, Inuyasha dabbed the throttle and got the back end to swing round just a bit, getting him through the corner quickly. The GT40 hung with him, the other driver not taking quite as aggressive a driving style but still right behind him. Kouga was coming back with a vengeance as well, hanging right on the Ford’s ass, not ready to settle for third.
They navigated the aggressive hairpins with thankfully little drama, save the Corvette which spun round the bottom turn, letting the Aston slip by and pretty much ending the race for the Chevy driver. Bombing down the rest of the course, Inuyasha kept the Ford at bay, working the Daytona overtime through the sweeping corners.
“Come on damn it, just a bit more.”
The Ferrari held the lead, though Kouga did strike on the GT40, powering hard into one corner to box the Ford out. Keeping control of ornery Miura, Kouga drew ahead of the GT40 and hung right on Inuyasha’s tail as they crossed the finish line where they’d started earlier.
“Hell yeah!” Inuyasha backed off the throttle, letting the Ferrari coast in gear as he collected his third victory, going three for three in the champion events. Kouga had secured his third silver, not the result he’d hoped for, but still a strong enough start to the season.
Returning to the garage, Inuyasha turned the Daytona off and wiped it down, drying it off after its trip through the wet. The Citroen C6 he’d arrived him, minus the driver, was waiting for him and he slid behind the wheel. Shifting into first, he pulled onto the road in the big French sedan, relaxing into the seat as the V6 under hood wafted him along.
It was actually a very nice luxury barge, great looking with its long and swept face and concave rear window. It was comfortable inside, swathed in cream leather, smart details, and a supremely comfortable ride to boot. Returning to the hotel suite, Inuyasha walked inside to a very, very nice site.
A very nice site indeed.
