The One-Hit Wonder

**ESPLAR History Files Series 1 - Story 3: The One-Hit Wonder**

Many people would remember Team Nitra's James Stewart as the driver who won both the Evanshire 600 and the Morson-Austin Trophy in the same season. It is a feat that almost no one has been able to achieve before or since then. Unfortunately, this feat is something that Stewart would only be known for, fading into obscurity once a historic event occurred in the 2018 Evanshire 700.

To figure out how James Stewart actually got both the Evanshire 600 and the Morson-Austin trophy, we need to go back to Stewart's rookie season in 1977. That season was significant for two reasons: one was Stewart's top 5 finish at Arcadia that landed him a drive at Team Nitra, and also Mylo Racing's only title prior to merging with Kerrivan to form Mylo-Kerrivan Motorsports.

Académie Surníče, Ishmira

**Surníče Academy (officially Académie Surníče)** is a 3-tier educational academy located in the borough of Surníče in west central Ishmira. Although within Surníče just near the border of the boroughs of Parsons-Del Monte and Farmonte Park, Académie Surníče welcomes students from all over Ishmira unlike other schools which until recently limit their enrollment to their borough for convenience.

Along with Astoria-Peletina Regional Academy in Tower Hamlets, Académie Surníče was once one of the most prestigious high schools in Ishmira, a title lost thanks to the improving position of other high schools in the city, not because of declining performance. Académie Surníče have recently embraced cardfighting as a sport, later than some other high schools in the area, and as a result are set for a slow start in the 2020 Ishmira cardfighting tournaments.

Traditionally, Académie Surníče has a rivalry with Chamberlain High School in West Cranford borough of Ishmira.

## Trivia

* Académie Surníče is inspired by Miyaji Academy from Cardfight Vanguard
* Also Académie Surníče is the only high school in Ishmira that requires students to join a club.

**Tanovaron Mykuvarich Ulyzhamaki** (Cyrillic: Тановарон Мыкуварич Улыжамаки or Tanovaron Mykuvarič Ulyžamaki) is a Russian-Altruran ESPLAR Lites driver currently competing in the 2023 ESPLAR Lites Series. He previously competed in the Russian Touring Car Championship Series as a teammate to Yumiko Anjou and later to Kainan Izherov in his one season in Europe when he was not able to find a team for ESPLAR Lites in 2022. He is the 2021 RTCS champion after losing the previous season's championship to Yumiko.

Tano first raced in Russia in local series in 2019 prior to the revival of Russian Touring Car Series in 2020, where he won his first race in Kemerovo. He soon became part of the Tairo-Permskie Sport Rossiya team alongside then-Saihara Motorsports academy driver Yumiko Anjou. He initially failed to impress among the ultra-competitive Russian teams at Tatarstan, but the next race at Mari-El he managed to score a podium after starting poorly. Things immediately started to improve for Tano, taking 4 2nd place finishes in the next six races. Ultimately, he was not able to stand a chance against his teammate's consecutive victories, and Yumiko won the championship with 4 races left in the 16 race season. He did, however, win his first race at Krasnodar (the semi-final), and at the season finale in Komi, he won despite starting last on the grid, and here he earned the nickname as the "Steel Phoenix".

After Yumiko left for the European Touring Car Championship (ETCC), Tano was left in a solo car operation for TPSR. However, it did not matter as he went on a blazing tear on the RTCS field in 2021, despite the BNV20 pandemic halting racing in Russia for most of the year. Tano won 5 of the 10 events, and finished second in the rest, immediately handing him the RTCS title.

For the 2022 season, TPSR switched to Audis and brought along Kainan Izherov, an aspiring racer who was unable to find a team in ESPLAR Lites. Tano initially believed that he would compete for the title alongside him; what Tano did not expect was Kainan dominating the first six races of the season and jumping to a 2 race lead over him. He did win 4 of the last 8 races, but a engine failure at Moscow, the quarterfinal race, handed the 2022 title to Kainan, securing a drive for the returning Kiruvenik Racing in ESPLAR Elite Series for 2023. Seeking to challenge Kainan in the future, Tano secured a drive for 2023 in the ESPLAR Lites Series for the relatively amateurish Motorsport Gygynarov, which is based in Tambov. Both Tano and Kainan are increasingly becoming fierce rivals despite being on different tiers.
Article: A Growing Altruran Separatist Movement?

(WIP)

This article published on November 1st 2020 through KATR09 focuses on a growing Altruran separatist movement that seeks for the Altruras Archipelago to become an independent, sovereign state. It was written by Kira Eronthade, president of the Finno-Ugric Racers Association (FURA) as well as Kaili Sahranvashili, associate editor of KATR09 ESPLAR Publishers Division.
Saihara NT 2024 (Formula NX)

The **Saihara New Type 2024 Formula (or simply the Saihara NT 2024)** is the second Formula NX-type formulae developed by Saihara Motorsports for its Formula NX program. It was created by team owner Kazuichi Saihara and Saihara Formulae co-designer Maria Kawauchi as the successor of the 2023 SNT, and was intended for use for the 2024 Formula NX regulations which allowed cars to travel up to 750 k/h. Its primary drivers would be 2019/20 Formula NX champion Naoto Kazami, and 2019 ESPLAR Elite Series champion Hayato Kitanami, who would each have their own distinct variants of the NT 2024, nicknamed the NXN-01. The NT 2024 would last until after the Persian Grand Prix, when the NXN-01 would supersede the NT 2024 in both appearance and performance, and was retired to the annals of history.

## History

### NT2023

In mid 2023, the head of the Saihara Formulae program (which is the lead division for its Formula NX and Sigma teams), Maria Kawauchi, approached Saihara team owner Kazuichi Saihara regarding Naoto Kazami's possible re-entry into Formula NX. Naoto had been missing from Formula NX since the end of the 2020 season after suffering not just a serious injury at the Formula NX Chinese Grand Prix, but also being diagnosed with BNV-20 as well. Because of the severity of both, many speculated that Naoto would not race again in any racing series. In 2021, Naoto returned to his roots in mountain climbing, when he soloed the K2 Peak's Magic Climb. But by the end of 2022, Naoto hinted at a possible return to formulae racing, his true home, and indicated his plans to team owner Saihara. And so, Kazuichi turned his attention to absorbing the entirety of Nissan's Formula NX and Sigma teams into Saihara divisions. Although by that point, Nissan's Formula Sigma division was nearly entirely controlled by Saihara since both of their drivers were part of the team, Nissan's Formula NX team took a half-season for them to be absorbed. And with both of their drivers not being part of the Saihara academy, Kaz was not expecting a championship.

At around the same time as Nissan's Formula NX team being absorbed into Saihara Motorsports, Maria Kawauchi was hard at work with Saihara's first NX-type formulae, the NT 2023.

### NT2024

After Naoto shockingly won the 2023 Evanshire 700, Kazuichi Saihara held a press conference at Saihara's regional headquarters in Utmorten in Gaia, and announced Naoto's return to Formula NX for the 2024 season. He and Kawauchi would unveil the NT 2024, the Saihara Motorsports Formula NX car for the 2024 season, which was far earlier than their rivals, since their unveiling would normally be in January. The NT 2024 boasted navigational systems that were considered far ahead than the most advanced ones made by Anaheim Industries of Altruras, or by Arktene. As such, this placed heavy pressure on teams like Mercedes and Ferrari. Unlike the other Formula NX cars, though, the NT 2024 had 8 forward gears instead of 6 that were standard at the time, mainly to adhere to the 2024 specifications.

According to KATR-09, the NT 2024 was ranked the #1 Formula NX car to beat for the 2024 season in its preseason rankings.

Gadunka

Polish rapper

Gadunka | Kefirson is a Bionicle-fucking pollack who eats chicken soup by his keyboard like a fucking goblin. Also known as Dunka, Dunkie, and DaddyTaro's kotku. Gadunka is a top quality memer and enjoys watching Polish slice of life videos on Youtube, making absolute fire on his soundcloud, eating Nutella, making disgusting noises, dabbing, and discussing Bioncle lore. Current head researcher in the Poop Dimension, Gadunka has theorized how to construct a portal to go there, but has no tried it yet, as safe return is unlikely at this point in time, as more research is needed.

## Rape Socks

An item of power, the rape socks are currently owned by Gadunka. Not much is currently known about these socks or what they do, but the fact that they exist alone is disturbing. The current theory is that they are the power behind Gadunka's sick vocal powers.
Kurglania Raceway

**Kurglania Raceway** is a 3.765 mi (6.05 km) racing venue containing a 1.5 mi oval, located in Ust-Kura, Arcadia, at the island's northern edge. Designed by well-known Altruras track architect Kevin Morrison, it is currently expected to open in 2020 with the earliest estimate of ESPLAR Elite Series hosting a race here as 2023, the series' 50th anniversary.

The track will host the European Touring Car Championship in 2020 as the semi-final race before the Komi GP.

## Description

In short, Kurglania is unforgiving with its many elevation and corner style changes that make this track especially difficult to tackle. The track begins as drivers race in the opposite direction of the stock car drivers (the GP circuit is counterclockwise). Turn 1 begins 2/3rds of the way of pit road as drivers experience flat conditions for the relatively fast turn 1 and turn 2. After the infamous "Perpendiculars" of turns 3 and 4 is where the track begins throwing unpredictable elevation changes. Turns 5-8 are s-bends designed similarly to Circuit of the Americas, albeit with more noticeable elevation changes. Turn 6 is a slight uphill climb which will catch drivers off guard, while the exit of turn 7 is a downhill slope until the Turn 8 "Spoon" corner ala Istanbul, except this time with a banked uphill climb that then gives way to a right banked downhill corner. The next straight following it is uphill to a long straight to a hairpin which will quickly catch drivers off guard. The hairpin exits to a downhill corner into another long right turn (albeit more inspired by Interlagos) which merges back onto the raceway section, followed by a Daytona-esque chicane which quickly turns into another part of the GP layout. The straight following it is downhill to Turn 19's uphill corner turning into an S-bend. Turn 22 finally merges into the rest of the raceway, ala Indianapolis, completing the circuit.

## Trivia

* The track is not yet made for NR2003 nor Grand Prix 4, and it depends on Lean278 if he wants to make the track for use in GP4 or NR2003.
Radical Jesus

## Biography

Part of the European Shitpost group, Jesus unfortunately is often at the front of Gem's Horny rampages along with the Mormon Mall Might, but he honestly deserves it for playing League of Legends and overall having shit taste. Obsessed with the gym, The Oblivion (2013) OST, Jesus mostly speaks in vine quotations in guttural grunts that are normally understood as *"Dude no"* and *"Tacos and Burritos are different".*

Jesus spends all of his work days on his knees before coming home and getting into stupid arguments with Macaroni and getting his ass slapped 10 times while making tacos, before going full disgusting feral goblin and eating it with a spoon probably.

## Sexuality Controversy

Despite fighting again and again to claim his heterosexuality, Jesus has been attacked by the community at large for his rather *confusing* posting in #degeneral. Continuing his constant fight to obtain more Cioccolata rule34 and Bunny Joseph, Jesus is "*Not gay bro*" and *"Just trying to get Dr. Gay more porn I swear stop looking into it."*

Miner

Miners regular PFP

## Biography

Miner is well regarded as the worst fucking human being to ever live on this earth. God, I hope he suffers for all eternity in the ninth circle of hell. I hope every second he lives is painful agony. Fuck him *so much oh my god*.

When not being an absolute repulsive furfag, Miner has been known to interject the word '*Kinky"* into literally everything he can for attention while dodging blows from Skull. Giving into the temptations of Gem, Miner has purchased a baddragon, and is planning to buy more in the future, snuffing out any hope God had left for him.

He is also the only Canon JoJo in the server due to Ungalo being his father, technically making him an OC.
Monky

## Origins

Monky is a god that transcends culture. Almost all civilizations have had a deception of Monky, and historians are still puzzled as to why this is. Monkeys are not native to all parts of the world, but carvings and depictions pop up in North America and Western Europe. What else is strange, is that all of Monky's deceptions are the same. even the legends about him.

Pictured : *Chinese Statue of Monky*

## Mythos

As stated previously, Monky's characterization is quite similar. It is usually a trickster, while still being a wise and powerful being. Most legends end with Monky being the victor whether he is the hero or the villain. His roles seem to be very flippant between cultures. Scholars still debate why he was so heavily worshiped, as most Pagan religions have gods that serve a purpose for daily life. Sun Wukong from *Journey To The West* is also seemingly inspired by Monky, but this is highly debated, and most conclude that he isn't.

## Present Day

Nowadays, the latest incarnation of the Monky can be found in the 8th part of *JoJo's Bizarre Adventure*. This Monky is green, and has a pink star on its head. The personality and origins of this Monky are unknown.

The county is named after rising ESPLAR superstar **Kailan Tuornin**, beginning in December 2019 after being provisionally named **Westfield County** since its split from Everett County back in April 2019.
Okayama Mountain Racing Complex

The **Okayama Mountain Racing Complex** is a .45 mi (.731 km) long race course within the Okayama Mountain Complex of the same name located near the Okayama Momotaro Airport. It is located on the site of a former golf course which, in the ESPLAR Timeline, was destroyed by a large wildfire in 2013 during an abnormally long heatwave in the region. A new golf course was built just adjacent to the new Mountain Racing Complex.

## History

During the rise of Saihara Motorsports in the early-mid 2010s, the Japanese racing commission proposed building a race circuit somewhere in the Okayama Prefecture. Initial proposals for a race course near Tsuyama and Akaiwa were dropped due to lack of suitable location. Another location was proposed at the Kamikozue Ward near Yakage, but was dropped because parts of the course would slide during a storm if it were built at that location.

Finally the commission settled on a course near a golf course near Momotaro Airport in Okayama. The original plan called for the course to follow the terrain of the surrounding area and it was also going to be much longer than the present oval layout.

Ishmira, Gaia

**Ishmira (Ish-mee-ra)** is the biggest city of the western Altruran island of Gaia, located on the Merilanitz Delta in the southern shore of Gaia. Population: 4,559,802 (2020)

Ishmira is a city that is recently mentioned in ESPLAR lore and is expected to be mentioned more often. Ishmira will become the new headquarters of the Evanshire Super Pro League of Auto Racing in 2021 as the old headquarters in Evanshire will be retrofitted and converted to team headquarters for several Tier 3 and 4 teams.

## History

(WIP)

In 1991, Ishmira began championing itself as a "city of diversity" through several important rallies at Galmora Plaza in the Conamara District. Organized largely in the aftermath of protests against the current justice system for inadequate rulings, especially the Galvins v. Ishmira case where Aldbridge resident Erik Galvins was arrested for an arson case against him after he was accused of burning a prominent Korean-Altruran business in Iopeth. Galvins was sentenced to only a week in jail, a case outraging the many ethnic minorities across Ishmira, and largely caused the Galmora rallies. The rallies called for equity and reform in the Gaia justice system, as well as for the voters to vote out the justices of the Ishmira Superior Court (Ishmira's judicial system was elected position beginning in the 1982 reforms). In the 1991 judicial elections, the 9 incumbent members of the Superior Court was elected out; replaced by a Latinx justice, an African-Altruran justice, a Japanese-Altruran justice, a Filipinx justice, and the remaining justices being Korean, Slovene, Hungarian, and Turkish, the first time an Altruran municipal Superior Court was entirely filled by ethnic minorities.

A growing number of residents are speaking a new Ishmiran dialect, distinct from many languages that are commonly spoken in the city.

## Divisions

Ishmira is divided into 41 districts, more commonly known as boroughs as to keep with its half-English traditional governance.

When the Ishmira boroughs were established in 1988, each borough that was named must follow these rules:

1. Clear indication of location
2. No silly or made up words
3. No double barrelled or unwieldy long names (except in few situations)

## Economy

Professional, scientific based organizations and businesses form the central economy of Ishmira, primarily based in the Kunzyl, Chura, Farmonte Park and Parsons-Del Monte. Most of the areas in what is usually Ishmira's central area (Conamara, Udmurtia, Aldbridge) have largely been modernized and expanded into high-rise areas based on the existing architecture of the structures.

A significant part of Ishmira's economy is tourism, and trading card shops are extremely popular here as well.

(Fictional) ESPLAR to launch Kalmyk and Buryat language services next week (4 February 2020)

(KATR-09 - ART)

February 4, 2020; by Elna Elshurnan (KLMK South Arcadia)

Kalmyk, an Oirat Mongolic language that is spoken in the Russian Republic of Kalmykia as well as in Oirat County in south Arcadia, is one of two languages, the other being Buryat, being added to the Evanshire Super-Pro League of Auto Racing's language list at its official website next week. The addition of these two languages, especially Kalmyk, will serve to expand the audience of the series to a growing number of inhabitants across the archipelago who speak only Kalmyk or only Buryat and not English as a 2nd language, even though the vast majority of Kalmyk and Buryat speakers in Altruras (~45,000 as of 2019) also speak English.

As a language, Kalmyk has been on the decline since the 1950s, and was only widely saved thanks to efforts in the 2000s to inscribe endangered languages like Ossetian and Tuvan before they fell out of widespread use in Altruras. Although Kalmyk is no longer widespread in the Russian Republic of Kalmykia, the language is still spoken by a small group of people in south Arcadia; Oirat County, whose capital is Kalmar-Mecklenburg, is popular for Kalmyk speakers, spoken by 28% of inhabitants.

Buryat is another language being added to the ESPLAR database; however its implementation took a lot longer than anticipated due to complications regarding the Mongolian script which would be 2 primary methods of displaying the Buryat language, the other being Cyrillic. Today Buryat is spoken by 18,000 speakers of many ethnic groups across the archipelago, and is slowly rising thanks to online courses, while Tyrgard Lake University in NW Arcadia offers Buryat language courses. It is an official language besides English in Inlet County in frontier Auroia-Sylvania.

ESPLAR is working to better connect audiences across northern Europe, the Caucasus, northern Asia and Africa by engaging with them in their local languages, not just the majority language in their respective countries. Komi-Zyrian, Moksha Mordvinic, and Erzya Mordvinic were added last week to the ESPLAR website; Sakha (Turkic), Altai, Karelian, and Karachay-Balkar languages are being planned over the next few months.
Kazumi Furukawa

**Kazumi Furukawa (JP: 古川 かずみ)** is a Japanese-Altruran ESPLAR racer currently racing for Greater Kanto Motorsports in the ESPLAR Premier Regional Series, and later the ESPLAR Lites Series as of 2020. Furukawa is a 5th generation Japanese-Altruran, also known as a Gosei, and openly appreciates her Japanese origins; hence she joined Greater Kanto Motorsports.

## History

### **Gosei of Hatake**

Kazumi Furukawa was born on April 23, 2003 to Masahiro Furukawa and Hanan (Ishmikura) Furukawa, in Ishmira, Gaia. Both Masahiro and Hanan were 4th generation Japanese-Altruran Yonsei; their ancestors immigrated from Japan as early as 1872 and are one of the oldest living families among Japanese-Altruran immigrants.

In the years following WW2, the Furukawa family moved from Evanshire to the city of Ishmira in the small island of Gaia, the fears of internment behind them as they moved to start again from scratch. Their home (for 5 decades) was located within the Kunzyl District of Ishmira, and as the family expanded, the Furukawa mansion expanded as well.

In 2000, Kunzyl was designated as a "Sphere borough of technological significance," which tagged the district as a location for futuristic architectural styles. Marumi Furukawa, the then-Mayor of Ishmira, tagged it as such because of a referendum which indicated who is more likely to be willing of a 'change,' and it found most people who want a change in terms of the direction of the city were in Kunzyl. Arktene, which was then a minor player in the Altruras technological industry, partnered with now-Laronia based Anaheim Industries to test new technologies in terms of building styles and improving residential life. Work started prior to Kazumi's birth in 2003.

Kazumi's first trip outside of Altruras was in 2006, just when ESPLAR began to expand globally.

Furukawa often codes in her own time when she is not playing JRPGs. This was made obvious in the ESPLAR Premier Regional Series as she often codes for the purpose of trying to perfect her own AI navigational system, to suit her own needs and racing methods.

### **Foray Into ESPLAR**

It is said that Kazumi became interested in ESPLAR racing after Julia Truong won the 2018 ESPLAR Elite Series championship. She enrolled in ESPLAR's first elite driving program in 2019 which became the basis of the ESPLAR Rise to Race Program with Arktene; she easily passed and started in Tier 3 instead of Tier 4 after destroying her competition.

Currently Kazumi Furukawa leads her teammate Natsumi Aoyagi by 12 points in the 2020 ESPLAR Premier Regional Series as of Race 3/15.

## Trivia

* Furukawa is a fan of both Future GPX Cyber Formula (by Sunrise) and the Tales franchise by Namco-Bandai (especially the 3-game Tales of the World Radiant Mythology spinoff series)
* Furukawa's primary coding language in her spare time is Python.
* Furukawa is Lean278's first official ESPLAR OC of Set #2.
Saihara Motorsports

(WIP)

**Saihara Motorsports** (JP: 最原モータースポーツ) is an ESPLAR racing team based in Osaka, Japan and headquartered in Nagahama, Japan. The team, founded in protest of Team Nitra's strict driver standards after the 2011 ESPLAR Elite Series season, is one of the most influential teams in ESPLAR and one of the most popular in the series.

## History

Kazuichi Saihara was the surprise rookie champion in the 2011 ESPLAR Elite Series season, after beating his teammate Jose Antonio Arroyo to the title after the latter blew the engine during the Evanshire 700. Despite winning the title, Team Nitra were not happy about how Kaz performed in comparison to Arroyo, and refused to renew his one-year contract. In protest of Team Nitra's decision, Saihara started a new team in hopes of keeping his career alive, and he received global attention in what was perceived as, "an uprising against the main ESPLAR establishment teams."

## Current

Saihara Motorsports are one of the top teams in ESPLAR, next to Greater Kanto Motorsports, Mylo-Kerrivan Motorsports, and the resurgent Scuderia Ferrari team. They have an ongoing rivalry with Greater Kanto Motorsports dating back to 2018.

## Notable Drivers and Individuals

* Kazuichi Saihara
* Hayato Kitanami
* Yoshihiro Ishikawa
* Miyoko Uemura
* Alio Kyugare
* Yumiko Anjou
* Kaylani Tatsunami
Tyrgard Lake University

**Tyrgard Lake University (commonly referred to as TLU)** is a public research university located at the northwest end of Lake Arcadia (known internationally as Tyrgard Lake) in the island of Arcadia in Altruras. Although TLU is not a part of the University of Altruras System (UA), TLU maintains affiliation with UA through partnership agreements that have existed since the founding of the University of Altruras System in 1974.

Founded in 1910 as the first public university in the entire Altruras Archipelago, as of 2020 the TLU has grown to instruct well over 60,000 students with 45,000 undergraduates and 15,000 postgraduates as reported through TLU Statistics for Fall 2019. Combined with TLU's links with the Evanshire Super-Pro League of Auto Racing and a growing international reputation, the university is one of the most prestigious (or the most prestigious) public institution of higher learning in the entire Altruras Archipelago.

Tyrgard Lake University does not compare itself to the Ivy League private universities in the northeast United States yet consistently ranks as the highest performer in terms of quality of education on the planet. According to KATR09 (Altruras' public radio station for Altruras Radio-Television [ART] ), TLU was in the top 5 for the most prestigious university in the world for 2018.

## Academics

### Admission

Being one of the most prestigious universities in the planet, TLU tends to have a massive applicant list; typically this ranges in the 60,000s to 70,000s range. However, TLU usually accepts up to only 11,000 applicants, since the university tends to have almost-nil dropout rates compared to other universities across the US. Acceptance rates for TLU hovered around 12% for Fall 2019 according to TLU Admissions data, which is higher than Ivy League schools.

### Teaching and Learning

Like most public universities across Altruras, TLU follows a semester system for its academic year. TLU's Fall Semester usually begins the Monday after Labor Day, with a Thanksgiving break. There is typically no class on Memorial Day (11/11) if it falls on a weekday or Saturday. The Fall semester typically ends the 23rd of December when the final exams are finished.

The brief Winter Quarter begins on the first Monday of January if it does not fall on the 1st, and ends the final Friday before Spring semester.

The Spring semester typically begins on the last Monday of January and ending on the 3rd Wednesday of June.

## Trivia

* Tyrgard Lake University is the only public institution of higher learning that operates a motorsports venue (Arcadia Raceway) for its racing program. Henceforth this contributed positively for its growing reputation in the later 2010s.
* TLU is inspired by a combination of UC Berkeley, UCLA, Harvard, University of Oxford and University of Cambridge.
* Tyrgard Lake University is the largest university in Altruras in terms of land area.

ESPLAR History Files - Samurai Rivalry

**ESPLAR History Files - Series 3 Story 5: The Great Samurai Rivalry** (2015 - )

(Updated 3 January 2023)

Of all the modern-day motorsport rivalries in the world, none have made the ESPLAR Elite Series more electrifying, entertaining, and contentious than the rivalry between two of the series' elite giants, Osaka-based **Saihara Motorsports**, and Tokyo-based **Greater Kanto Motorsports**. Their rivalry may be young, but their defining rivalry throughout the five seasons they've competed against each other so far has become one of the series' legendary rivalries, exceeding that of the great rivalries between the Hennivan Racing teammates of Max Edwards and Drew Bright in the early 1980s, the rivalry between Matthew Chapman and Lucian Croft in 2000, and even the self-proclaimed "Great Rivalry" between Team Nitra and Saihara Motorsports. In just 3 seasons, both teams have become the top juggernaults in a series rapidly advancing to the new future where advanced motorsport and safety technologies have become the incredible focal points of the series as a whole, spearheaded by the ever-expanding influence of Leiko-Ulist based Arktene and Anaheim Industries of Estlenhar.

It is often easy to note how this particular rivalry began, but many fans point to this rivalry as the offshoot of the 2010s Great Rivalry between Saihara and Team Nitra as Saihara broke away from Team Nitra's philosophy and struck out on their own to win a championship in their name, but they were never able to achieve this in the early years until Greater Kanto came along.

The major spark that led to the start of the rivalry was a small team named Greater Kanto Motorsports. It was formed at the end of 2015 through a Toyota-backed scheme that was to be Toyota's major breakthrough into the ESPLAR Elite Series. Previously, Toyota had been manufacturers to a number of other teams, but it was the first time that Toyota had made serious commitment for the top tier of the ESPLAR Leagues. At the time, Greater Kanto was called 6AM Motorsports, and was a grassroots team formed in San Leandro, California for Japanese-American young racers. It was (in 2016) racing in the ESPLAR Premier Regional (Tier 3) series with Keiko Namakawa as their driver. This team would suddenly disappear in the middle of 2016, and would reform with 4 races left with a mysterious racer named Julia Truong at the helm of that team's #14 car.

Very little is known about Truong prior to the 2017 ESPLAR Lites season, but for the purposes of this story, she would become center-focus in a large group of racers in the 2016-2018 ESPLAR seasons, educated in San Leandro's prestigious SL Academy for Multimedia during the 2010s, as would her future teammate Katya Alarcon.

**ATTN: This story does not reflect actions by Lean278's character in PSO2NGS Global, Ship 3, Block 42. This story is of original Lean278 creation. The outfits shown in Kailu's character in PSO2NGS are canon to the entire story. This story \*might\* contain mature content. Read at your own risk.**

(Work in Progress. This story will be developed as Lean278 continues to play PSO2NGS)

---Chapter 1: The Silver Drachen---

From the time he stepped into Halpha, Kailu felt a sense of duty. It had been several years since his crowning achievement, saving ARKS from total annihilation, going to Omega and repelling the threats there, neutralizing the Apostles, and ending the threat of the Profound Darkness for good.

But this was a brand new planet. And the higher ups who manage the ARKS contingents are not exactly the most kind-hearted people he'd encountered before. No, this isn't Xiao, the one person that Kailu almost felt doing a damsel-in-distress duty for, or Matoi, the best friend of his. No, this is the planet where ARKS seems to be besieged on all sides constantly, and not by form of Dark Falz like he encountered in his previous adventure. These were far different. These are DOLLS, and they are not messing around.

**Week 1, 30.10.????HC**

A few weeks passed between the rescue of Dozer and the defeat of Nex Aelio in the Resol Forest. Kailu had been training endlessly under the watchful leadership of *Zerenas Beuler* (Hu/Br), a close friend of the commander Crawford. In that time, Crawford had entrusted the creation of a special squadron to Beuler whose unending bravery and tenacity transcends the reputation of ARKS.
