As his career progressed, he won several races and even 3 world championships. In 2012, Apple Lauda claimed that he was sick of driving in circles, retiring from racing. However, in 2019, Apple Lauda found back into the world of racing, focusing on the famous Nürburgring Nordschleife. In 2020, Apple Lauda became the Nürburgring God and a year later, he would face other drivers for the first time in 9 years. But Apple Lauda instantly wins the race on the 24h layout of the Nürburgring, winning the race by over 33 seconds. As his second career progresses, he gets to know Silverstream and becomes her boyfriend. In 2023, Apple Lauda finds out that the Gran Turismo Sport servers will shut down and is clearly upset by this fact. He met Princess Celestia for the first time and Apple Lauda drove the "Celestial lap" with a new lap record of 6:27.942 minutes on the Nürburgring Nordschleife, retiring from time attacking in the process. Apple Lauda is also known by being the Nürburgring God or the Grandmaster of the Nordschleife 
== Apple Lauda's driving style ==
Apple Lauda has a very aggresive driving style, whenever he sees a gap on the inside, he goes for it unless he knows it's unsafe to overtake. He overtakes just like the quote says: "If you no longer go for a gap that exists, you're no longer a racing driver". Upon cornering, he starts stabbing the throttle upon cornering, just like Ayrton Senna used to do it. Apple Lauda also is very powerful in the wet. In a race at Spa Franchorchamps, he went from 13th to 5th in the wet, but in this race, he had assist of traction control. Apple Lauda went also from 13th to 6th in just a single lap. Because of this, Apple Lauda earned the nickname "the Magic" in the process of that. When downshifting, Apple Lauda likes it to downshift the way that the engine goes into the limiter.
== Apple Lauda's relationship with Silverstream ==
when Apple Lauda met Silverstream, he quickly developed a crush on the hippogriff and was totally unsure on how to win her heart. But when Apple Lauda hit the track, Silverstream showed some interest in Apple Lauda. They soon started dating and had a day at the Nürburgring Südschleife as well as a trackwalk on the longer Nordschleife.
== Mountains ==
Apple Lauda loves mountains. He (kinda) grew up with the Allgäu Alps when he was a colt. In 2023, he returned to the Allgäu Alps after 7-8 years of absence. He wanted to climb the Iberger Kugel, a 1049 meters high mountain in the Allgäu Alps located near Maierhöfen on his vacation so badly and on a fateful day in july 2023, he did it. Apple Lauda climbed the Iberger Kugel and when he reached the summit, he didn't want to go back down again. He feels home in the Allgäu Alps and when he got back home, he started to miss his beloved Allgäu Alps and got mountainsick. He also loves the Eifel Mountains, and that is thanks to the Nürburgring. Some say that the Eifel Mountains are protecting Apple Lauda when he is racing or time attacking on the Nordschleife. A long time ago, Apple Lauda did also stand on top of the Drachenfels, a 320.7 meters high mountain located in the Siebengebirge. However he didn't walk up the mountain, he took a train ride to go up to the summit.
