## Transcript

### Lap 6 Crash

Frank: Lightning McQueen going strong here at Florida leading the race!

George: Oh! Akinori Sato sideways!

Frank: Nowhere to go for Peter McStop as he nails Sato on the side!

George: OH NO! SATO UP ON TWO WHEELS AND FLIPS OVER!

Frank: Akinori Sato goes for a wild ride as he tumbles a few times before coming to rest on all four tyres.

George: Heavy damage for McStop too.

Frank: The race will be red flagged to clean up the track.

Crew Chief: That was a hard hit, are you ok?

Peter: Yeah, I'm alright. I hope Akinori is though.

Crew Chief: We'll keep you posted, Peter.

### Lap 30

Frank: Lightning McQueen really starting to run away from the rest of the field now.

George: Also, we are hearing that Akinori Sato is in the garage area talking to Peter McStop right now so he is doing fine and is still at the track.

### Finish

Frank: Lightning McQueen has been leading for ages now but Carlinton, Bottas and Todoroki are chasing him down on newer tyres.

George: Lightning is gonna have to do everything to make sure they don't catch up because this isn't the hardest track to pass at so if the new tyres get anywhere near him there will be a new leader.

Frank: Jack Grayson also using the slipstream off of the three cars chasing McQueen so he might be in the battle too!

George: Carlinton Jr. is fast on the straightaway and that is where we are now.

Frank: Carlinton will get a massive run on McQueen and goes to the inside on turn 5.

George: McQueen with a defensive move which runs Carlinton of the track on turn 6.

Frank: Bottas gets the run on McQueen now but McQueen takes a defensive line into turn 7.

George: Gonna be a sharp left turn for turn 8 and Carlinton gets to McQueen's inside and takes the lead and keeps it in turn 9.

Frank: We've got the straight which Carlinton can start to pull away on.

George: But here comes McQueen again and they're all together for turn 10.

Frank: Through turn 11 for the final time!

George: McQueen pushes up out of the final turn and they all make contact!

Frank: Bottas slips through but here comes Grayson OUT OF NOWHERE AND IT'S A PHOTO FINISH BETWEEN BOTTAS AND JACK GRAYSON!

George: WHERE DID HE COME FROM!?

(Few minutes later)

Frank: It has been confirmed that Jack Grayson has won his first ever WGP race less than one tenth of a second over Carteri Bottas!

George: Probably the first of many for the Canadian rookie.
