Ethan Keiderman

**Ethan Keiderman** is a German-Altruran racing driver currently driving for **Upsilon-Omega Racing (UOR)** in the 2020 ESPLAR Lites Series. He is part of the Ferrari driver academy alongside Kailan Tuornin.

Keiderman is the first ESPLAR Lites driver who is a graduate of the TLU-ESPLAR joint racer-community oriented Rise to Race Program. Most of his fellow graduates are either technicians or pit crew members at UOR this season.

## Background

Born as the second child of Manfred and Kasia Keiderman in Jena, their family became one of thousands to move to Altruras to seek better tech work in the wake of the dot-com crash in 2000 and the resulting global recession. Manfred Keiderman, prior to marrying Kasia Keiderman (then Kasia Habsburg), lived in New York as a consultant to the Motor Racing Conglomerate (MRC) in its R&D division, a job Manfred would end up leaving in 2002 after marrying Kasia. In May 2002 Manfred and Kasia had their first child, Cedric Keiderman while both of them worked in the local tech sector in Jena. Kasia took leave to care for Cedric. On January 27, 2003, Kasia gave birth to Ethan Keiderman.

It's important to note that while both Cedric and Ethan Keiderman were born in Germany, since Manfred was a US Citizen who lived for 8 years in New York, this makes both of them US citizens under US nationality law. Since Kasia Keiderman is a German citizen (and permanently resides in Jena, which she has been since childhood around 1989), both of them are also German citizens by its nationality law. This created a complicated situation where Manfred was a US citizen by naturalization and a German citizen by birth, and Kasia was only a German citizen and not a US citizen. With the economic recession hitting Thuringia hard, it became difficult for the Keidermans to stay in Germany. This was, however, according to what Manfred had been expecting. Kasia, for the past few years prior, had been contemplating US citizenship instead of retaining her German citizenship. After passing the citizenship test in mid 2003 (only through Manfred's help), she managed to meet other requirements within the next year. Thus, on October 2004, the Keidermans left Jena to New York, leaving Germany behind them.

Not much is known about Ethan Keiderman in New York, but in the wake of the Great Recession in 2008 the family moved again, this time to Altruras, settling in Arcadia near Tyrgard City.

## Current Information

In 2023, Ethan is expected to race in Formula NX, the highest (but logically separate) tier of the IFRC pyramid, for Ferrari. His drive in Formula Sigma which won him the title the previous season was left to Kasha Heutemann, Formula Beta graduate

## Trivia

* Ethan Keiderman is to be a fierce rival to Nate Crawford, Hailey Lordregan, and Kira Eronthade in the ELS.
* Ethan speaks German, English, Swedish, and Dutch. Currently learning Russian and Japanese.
* Ethan's favorite video game/anime character is **Fayt Leingod.** He joins many other freshman ESPLAR Lites and Tier 3/4 drivers who also have Leingod as their favorite character from Tri-Ace's Star Ocean franchise.
Arktene

**Arktene**, originally Archaline Technologies, is a Altruran multinational technology company based out of Leiko-Ulist, designing and developing consumer electronics, software and online services. It is the Altruras equivalent of Apple, but more ambitious than it.

Arktene was established by Greek-Altruran **Constantius Archaline** in 1980, and since 2002 has expanded its influence to the entirety of the archipelago. It is the pioneer of identification systems that are now used in the Evanshire Super Pro League of Auto Racing, as well as artificial intelligence in Altruras itself.

As of fiscal year 2020-21, Arktene has an annual revenue of $358 billion with a presence in more than 100 countries. Arktene has a policy of recruiting local employees for local facilities, and competes with regional rival Galen Enterprises based from Estlenhar. Most of their international presence is through their affiliate companies that often compete with, and against each other to get the best consumer experience possible.

While it is not known for selling smartphone devices, its affiliate Ionva is currently the 4th largest smartphone manufacturer and Ionva devices are most prevalent in Altruras with revolutionary data collection technology that attempts to put privacy as the most important element.

With its expanding influence across Altruras, there have been calls to break up Arktene into smaller companies by releasing its affiliates from its influence. However, such calls have not yet materialized thanks to Arktene's near perfect safety record and its strict labor standards. Arktene answers to no government though there have been allegations of collaboration with security agencies.

Education in Altruras

In Altruras, education forms one of the binding principles of the state, as it is critical to sustain a modern economy. Altruras' education system draws from the belief that education is a right for all individuals regardless of status within the state, and is largely based on Finland's education system which has been proven to be successful worldwide. Altruras in the modern age of ESPLAR seeks to improve upon its own education system based on its diversity and ease of access to widely-available tools of learning. And as Altruras' education system begins to deviate away from a model similar to Finland's to a uniquely distinct model, Altruras hopes that rapidly changing methods of learning can sustain how its children learn over the coming decades.

## Altruras Reorganization Initiative - 2009-2018

In the 2008 World Education Rankings, Altruras was knocked out of the top spot by Finland (although Finland themselves were knocked out of the top in 2009 by South Korea). In response, in 2009, Altruras began to reorganize their education system. Students no longer have to take more than 2 mandatory tests per class (only a midterm and final) and teachers are now free to educate students in more than one language (besides English). Altruras began to implement free lunch by pouring almost a billion dollars towards free lunch programs in more than 200 school districts across the state, sponsored by local farm industries. It was made permanent in 2014. The University of Altruras began dramatically lowering tuition rates to no more than $2,000 per student, per semester in 2012, then down to only $500 in 2015 as Altruras diverted money from the military into education initiatives. A select number of UA campuses, including Rockport, South Estlenhar, Ilon-Alto Laronia and Aysmere-North Tyleiden became tuition free in 2019 as the UA system began to reorganize.

## ESPLAR and the Altruras Education System

Because of Altruras' flexibility in its education system, it is possible for pupils to skip several years if they demonstrate sufficiency in required skills needed to advance to certain years in primary or secondary stage. Several ESPLAR drivers have been known to exploit this advantage: in 2016, then 14-year old Kailan Tuornin completed secondary stage of education and proceeded to attend University of Altruras - Roswell Park. In 3 years (even in 2019 where he competed in tier 4 and later part time in ESPLAR Elite Series), Kailan completed GE and graduated at the end of 2019 with a master's in mechanical engineering. In 2017, Kailu Wieczorek became only the third person in Altruras to graduate secondary school at the age of 12 thanks to this rule as well.
Manor Engine Controversy (2020)

The **Manor Engine Controversy** was a event in Formula Sigma and Formula NX that resulted from **Manor-Marussia** changing engines from Ferrari to Mercedes in the 2020 Formula NX season.

Marussia had a terrible season with their outdated Ferrari engines in the 2019 Formula NX season, with their two drivers Karpo Hautala and Patrick Jorgson way off the pace of the frontrunners. Though Jorgson had flashes of brilliance at times, it was not enough to save Jorgson from being knocked out of Formula NX altogether at the end of the 2019 season.

Meanwhile, Thomas Andersson was having a stellar season at the ESPLAR Lites Series, shining at the road courses where teams like Marussia and other Formula NX and Sigma teams were looking for in order to recruit drivers. Performances at Burlington and at Cape Cod would attract the attention of both Ferrari, who were looking to enter the ESPLAR Elite Series, and Marussia, who hope to find other talented drivers. Thomas Andersson eventually landed a one-off ride with Ferrari's affiliate ESPLAR Elite Series team, Turvali-Koralia Racing, for the Round of Central Illinois. Although Andersson did not finish that race, the base performance alone was enough for Marussia to get Thomas Andersson a full-time ride in Formula NX in 2020, and a provisional test drive seat at Ferrari in Formula Sigma.

Then in late December 2019, Marussia made the unthinkable decision to switch from Ferrari engines to Mercedes engines. This caused Ferrari to rethink their strategy of their test drivers moving forward, considering that Ferrari affiliates are more favored for test seats. They eventually took in German driver Karin Mithrazan as their Formula Sigma test driver.

The controversy would leave **Thomas Andersson** without the Ferrari test drive in Formula Sigma as a result of Marussia's engine change. Debate is still raging today on whether Ferrari should have kept Thomas Andersson as their test driver in Formula Sigma.
NR2003 Fictionverse

A **NR2003 Fictionverse** is a term described by ESPLAR Elite Series host **Lean278** which means an offline championship universe which utilizes NR2003 as its main focus for the majority of that universe's leagues. A fictionverse does not have to exclusively focus on NR2003 (like the ESPLAR Universe does with NR2003 focusing on ESPLAR Leagues while Grand Prix 4 focuses on ESPLAR Universe's formula leagues Formula NX and Formula Sigma), but leagues hosted in NR2003 itself must form the backbone of the fictionverse itself.

For a offline championship universe to be classified as a fictionverse by Lean278, the following conditions must be met:

* The offline championship universe in question must have no references to real life championships or to other offline championship universes within its lore. For example, ESPLAR must make no references to ARCSOA nor the GP4 Offline Championship within its lore, while it also cannot make references to NASCAR.
* Fictional racers must be present in ALL championships present. Real life racers do not count unless they are participating in the universe themselves.
* Real life and fictional sponsors must be present, although not required, should not reference NASCAR in any way.
* The championships within the universe cannot utilize season numbers and MUST use common era (ie. 2010) as this will often confuse people who are new to certain championships.
* Although not required, fictional lands must be present within the universe itself.

Using this classification, it is very certain that Evanshire Super-Pro League of Auto Racing is classified as a fictionverse by Lean278, although not necessarily a mainly NR2003 fictionverse, it should be classified as one because its main premier championship is ESPLAR which takes place in NR2003 itself.
2021 Formula Sigma Season

(WIP)

## Team Changes

Ferrari, Red Bull, and McLaren are currently the only teams thus far that have confirmed to compete in the 2021 Formula Sigma season. Nissan are speculating a possible run at Formula Sigma as well as Porsche.

Mercedes might keep themselves in the series as well as Scuderia Toro Rosso.

With Force India running into financial trouble it is rumored that Minardi might return to the series with Audi as their engine supplier to replace FI if it goes under.

2019 Formula NX Season

The **2019 Formula NX Season** is the inaugural season of the Formula NX Series, a motor racing championship organized by the **International Formula Racing Committee (IFRC)** which replaced its predecessor after years of scandal and controversy regarding safety protocol. 22 drivers contested the 21 race season, which began at Indianapolis Motor Speedway and will end at Suzuka Circuit in Japan.

Ferrari's **Naoto Kazami** secured his first driver's championship at Singapore after runner up Felix Krebs suffered a water leak during the first pit stop cycle. Ferrari are the constructor's champions, clinching the title at the Russian Grand Prix after Naoto Kazami placed 2nd and both Williams drivers crashed during the race.

## Teams and Drivers

The following teams and drivers competed in the 2019 Formula NX Season.

Podkarpackie Racing

**Podkarpackie Racing** is an ESPLAR Elite Series racing team currently headquartered in Gdansk, Poland. Founded in 2011 by a trio of Polish racers in Tarnow, in Lesser Poland, their two star drivers, Kaspar Dabrowski and Olaf Pulaski had some decent success in the ESPLAR Elite Series during the decade; they went to WEC in 2020.

After 2020, the team went into brief hiatus in the ESPLAR side while they scouted for new generational talent within Poland; in 2023 the team will reenter the ESPLAR Elite Series after both Kailu Wieczorek and Alaina Gwinska attained the necessary license points for entry into ESPLAR Elite Series without traversing Tier 2 of the ESPLAR Leagues first after both dominated the previous season's Formula Europa championship.

The team races under a Dodge powered car, but they will use Polish-made engines from across the country.
Starship Alley of Altruras

The areas the comprise the so-called **"Starship Alley of Altruras"** are the ones that comprise the vast majority of Altruras' developing space program named Project Horizon. Headed by a joint venture of Arktene and the Altruras Interstellar Research Agency (AIRA), it is expected to pursue further research of interstellar ventures, such as discovery of anomalies in space as well as determining the habitability of planets orbiting stars further away from Sol.

The Starship Alley is comprised of eight facilities dotted through western Altruras, with the primary launch sites being Tanaki, the launch site at Wake Island, and Majorian Island southeast of Hawaii, codenamed "Shirogane".

* AIRA Kedenmet, located at Kaden Walker Airbase in Gymoras, Estlenhar. This facility is responsible for aeronautics, aerodynamics, and improved aircraft and spacecraft safety.
Kira Eronthade

**Kira Eronthade** is an Altruran stock car driver expected to drive in the **ESPLAR Lites Series** in 2020. He will drive for the McLaren-backed Klingenacht Motorsports (which is based in Aspo, Tyleiden) alongside Laronia-Sylvanian **Kirmie Sylonie.**

Along with Team Maxima's Nate Crawford and Hailey Lordregan, Eronthade will be a top force in the 2nd tier of ESPLAR.

## History

Although not entirely Russian, Kira is one of many rising international motorsports superstars seeking to make their mark in a rapidly changing landscape. Half of his lineage goes all the way to the Komi Republic of Russia (hence the reason Kira claims his ethnicity as is) while the other half is from Yorkshire.

(WIP)

## Trivia

* Kira can speak English, Japanese, and Komi-Zyrian. He is normally conversational in English, but both Japanese and Komi-Zyrian are secondary languages. He is very fluent in Japanese while he is still learning Komi-Zyrian as it is a very difficult language to learn; how he managed to stumble along Komi-Zyrian is unknown although he did tweet that he visited the city of Zrmya in Leiko-Ulist once.
* It is revealed in the run up to the 2020 ESPLAR Lites Season that Kira is half-Komi. His teammate is half-Mordovin. Why these two are unique among the ELS field is unknown in this regard.
* Part of Kira's storyline in the 2020 ESPLAR Lites season will be involving his struggle to communicate properly in Komi-Zyrian as quite a number of the Klingenacht Motorsports team speak Komi-Zyrian.
* His Japanese form of the name roughly transliterates to エロタデ キラ.
* Kira is a fan of WipEout (not that obstacle avoidance game show but the racing franchise) and also Sunrise's Gundam franchise.
* Kira's Arktene ESPLAR ID is KE20022401KR (the last two letters being the two letter abbreviation of Komi Republic, shared with South Korea)
* Just before the 2020 ESPLAR Lites Evanshire Test Race, Kira announced he will race under the Komi Republic flag and not the Evanshire flag. He joins fellow Russian Akhchannyr Chanyvakhran that plan to race under their own flag of the Russian Republic instead of Russia itself.
* Kira Eronthade is part of the team investigating a legendary tale in Karelia, along with Ferrari teammates Lean Campana and Kailan Tuornin, and Kira's own teammate Kirmie Sylonie.
Emiel Drumaek

as of 2020 EES Evanshire Test Race

**Emiel Drumaek** is a Dutch racing driver currently driving for Hennivan Racing in the 2020 ESPLAR Elite Series. He is the defending European Touring Car Champion for Jaguar, but has opted not to return to ETCC, jumping to Hennivan Racing to help improve their road course program.
2020 ESPLAR Lites Series Season

The 2020 ESPLAR Lites Series season will be the 24th season of the 2nd tier of the Evanshire Super-Pro League of Auto Racing. It will continue to begin at the Round of Florida at Pensacola Speedway and will end with the Evanshire Finale at Camberwell.

The series was going to be hosted by **Lean Campana a.k.a. Lean278,** but due to ongoing commitments video uploads of the series have been cancelled; the series is mention-only for this season.

This season will be the first with the Generation 7 cars that are compatible with the highly anticipated AI navigational systems mandated by the ESPLAR Leagues.

(WIP)
Alio Kyugare

**Alio Kyūgare (JP: キュガレあいえよ)** is a Japanese ESPLAR Elite Series driver currently competing for Saihara Motorsports. He is coming off what is considered to be the most dominant season in ESPLAR Lites history, winning all but 3 races in the 2022 season.

## History

### Sengoku Origins

Alio is the eldest of 3 children raised in the city of Koshu in Yamanashi Prefecture, Japan. Born on October 14, 2004, he will turn 19 this upcoming 2023 season. Alio is the son of Masayuki Kyugare (b. 1977) and Nora Nobutami (b. 1980). In the ESPLAR Universe, Alio is descended directly from the famous Takeda Clan who is from the same region Alio was born in.

In 1582, Takeda Katsuyori and his entire family died in the Battle of Tenmokuzan and his line died with him. However, in the ESPLAR Universe, another son existed; he went by the name Mato Katomaru, but his real name was Takeda Uijimaru who was born in the weeks leading up to Tenmokuzan. He was secretly taken by loyal Takeda ninjas hoping to ensure the continued existence of the clan. However, in the years following Tenmokuzan, he knew nothing about the events at the mountain. Mato later became a samurai retainer for the Uesugi clan of Echigo, and his line lived on until 1763. At some point, a cadet branch formed based from the Katomaru Naohisa (1670-1727) which became the Kyugare Clan of Yamanashi Prefecture. This clan was the most pro-reformist and pro-samurai in the region, while advocating for a return to imperial rule while adopting samurai traditions. Clan Kyugare refused to fight in WW2 because they believed fighting an offensive war was dishonorable and were exiled to Alaska. Postwar, they befriended the democratic Kasirov family of Vladivostok which shared the same democratic ideals and they were allowed to return to Yamanashi.

In the 1980s as the Cold War began coming to a close, civil war became more and more apparent in Russia as different political spectrums vied for control. When civil war erupted in 1986, Japan immediately announced its support for the Democratic League of Russia, or DLR, and sent volunteer divisions led by Kyugare Sorei to hold Vladivostok against dictatorial forces in the region. Sorei's forces made an impact defending Vladivostok, but Sorei died in the Battle of Chita in the war's final days in 1988 after his small force was surrounded, yet his forces held on defiantly, holding out hope, until DLR forces arrived and rescued them. Sorei's death left a young Masayuki and Sorin as the last male heirs of the Kyugare Clan of Yamanashi.

(WIP)

## Racing Style

Alio's racing style is defined by his very defensive but honor-bound nature as a direct descendant of the Takeda Clan. He does whatever it takes within the racing rules to defend his position, and such racing style was key to over half of his 2022 ESPLAR Lites victories.

## Synopsis for "The Sting of the Serpent"Edit

As T'Challa is flying back to New York City from Wakanda, the Sons of the Serpent have come back and started targeting prominent black people in the city. After outspoken singer Monica Lynne expresses her opinion about the Sons on the Dan Dunn show, she becomes their next target. The Serpents activities attract the attention of the Avengers, who recount their previous encounter with the group to the Vision.

When Monica Lynne is attacked by the Serpents, she is saved by Black Panther. She later appears on the Dan Dunn show once more to continue voicing her opinion about the Serpents, which makes her more of a target. When the Avengers plan to protect her, the Panther stops them, deciding that he will protect the musician by himself. Approaching Lynne, the Black Panther asks her not to appear on television again the following night, a request she refuses. The Panther spends the rest of the night stalking the city, searching for members of the Sons of the Serpent. When he finds one member, he knocks him out, steals his uniform and sneaks aboard their shuttle craft. He is soon taken to their base, which is a giant mechanical serpent hidden beneath the sea. However, there Black Panther's cover is blown and he is unmasked by the Serpents who hold him at gunpoint.

Tréalnee

(WIP)

**Tréalnee** (pronounced Tré-all-nee) is the county seat and largest city of Snowdonia County in north central Leiko-Ulist, located in the foothills of the Plainear Mountains along the Broadway River. Tréalnee is the 8th largest city north of the Plainear Mountains after Broadway, Eretryreum, Healdemar, Kvallsun, Veagnemres, Ventiholde and Arrowreach.

Tréalnee, while not as large as other cities across northern Leiko-Ulist, is slightly more technologically advanced than them. This is due to Tréalnee's proximity to military and medical technology research facilities near the area and the populous' willingness to adapt to them.

Tréalnee also boasts a cultural diversity not usually seen in medium-sized cities around northern Leiko-Ulist. It is not only home to the largest French and Finnish-speaking populations outside Altruras and Laronia islands respectively, but also the largest Buryat-speaking minority and 2nd largest Chuvash-speaking minority in Altruras. (There is a larger Chuvash-speaking community in Arlia, Evanshire)

Evanshire 700

The **Evanshire 700**, formerly the Evanshire 600 from 1973 until 1994, is the signature race of the Evanshire Super Pro League of Auto Racing, and stock car racing's most prestigious event. The 700 is always held in Evanshire, the birthplace of ESPLAR, preferably at the 2.58 mi Camberwell Raceway in western Evanshire. The race is almost always held the Sunday before Thanksgiving in November, with the so-called "Evanshire Marathon" beginning 2 Wednesdays before the 700.

Since its inception in 1973 the Evanshire 600/700 has gained a global audience to the point where it has been officially called the "Super Bowl of Stock Car Racing". It has attracted drivers from across the globe to participate in the race, but many of them do not even make the race. In fact, most full time drivers are favored over one-off drivers.

## History

The first Evanshire 600 was held in the inaugural season of the Evanshire Super Pro League of Auto Racing in 1973. The race became a regional phenomenon almost immediately as the location of the recently-opened Camberwell Raceway was in a prime location for tourism in western Evanshire. In the 233 lap race, Matt Austin prevailed over Edward Morson, despite Morson capturing the championship. The championship trophy of the series later known as the ESPLAR Elite Series was named after Edward Morson and Matt Austin, while the trophy for winning the Evanshire 600/700 was called the Silver Camberwell, named for the prestige and perseverance of the event and the required effort needed to win the race.

As the decade progressed, several milestones were achieved in the Evanshire 600, some of which would never be achieved again. In 1979, James Stewart won the Evanshire 600 in his first attempt and won the Morson-Austin Trophy; this milestone would not be achieved again until Julia Truong won the 2018 Evanshire 700 as a rookie and won the championship.

The Evanshire 700 has become infamous for its big accidents, mostly occurring towards the end of the 700, and in many cases this would end several driver's Morson-Austin Trophy hopes. (TBD)

No one-off driver has won the Evanshire 600/700 despite several drivers coming close. In 1977, Formula Supercar driver Tim Lundgren almost won the Evanshire 600, but his hopes were ended on the final lap while leading. In 2010 Porsche almost won the 700, but #75 Derick Silverton missed his chance in a photo finish.
The Great Rivalry in the Golden Age

**ESPLAR History Files Series 1 - Story 3: The Great Rivalry in the Golden Age of ESPLAR**

In the early 1980s, the Evanshire Super Pro League of Auto Racing would witness its greatest era of racing yet, with two teammates at the forefront of this golden era, Hennivan Racing's Max Edwards and Drew Bright. Both would combine for 5 championships between 1981 and 1985, and today is considered the golden era of Hennivan Racing, when they were the most dominant team in ESPLAR. Today, Hennivan is a shadow of its former self, but it is important to look back at the era where they were on top consistently on a weekly basis.

The 1981 season saw both Edwards and Bright in their 3rd season at Hennivan Racing, and expectations were putting both of them as championship contenders. True to form, Hennivan dominated the 1981 season, with Max Edwards winning 18 out of 30 races and Drew Bright winning 11 and being more consistent than Edwards. The last race as expected went to another driver, but the story of that year's Evanshire 600 was the championship battle between Edwards and Bright, with Edwards winning out in the end. The next year's championship would not be so close, as Edwards dominated with 21 wins out of 34 and clinching the championship before the final race, a feat that would not be repeated until 2020.

**Vanguard Solace || Prologue 1: Terror of Bonn**

"I'm returning to Europe."

Kailu uttered these words to his parents, Karol and Hanna, on that fateful day on the 24th of December, 2019. He was already becoming a celebrity in his own country primarily for his depiction of a young Kazuichi Saihara in Studio Cauxu's Journies of Tempest anime show. Even though Kaz himself would have not been comfortable with someone else voicing him, Kailu proved he was the right person for it despite his age. The anime series did extremely well in Altruras, enough to warrant a second season starring Kaz himself, but it was up to him whether he wants to continue playing as himself.

Kailu announced on his Twitter page that he was returning to Europe and putting his seiyuu career on hold, but he did not say what he wanted to do next, since he didn't want anyone to assume that he would do something like cardfighting, or even motorsport.

Motorsports, however, were the next thing on Kailu's mind as he boarded a LOT Polish Airlines 787-900 alongside his mentor, a now-retired Olaf Pulaski of Podkarpackie Racing.

Olaf Pulaski is a race winner in the ESPLAR Elite Series, but chose to retire as Podkarpackie Racing intended to go to endurance racing. Pulaski was not keen to be in endurance racing, instead letting fellow countryman Kaspar Dabrowski do all of the building processes in the team.

2020 became the year Kailu would decide to race, and over the course of the year, Kailu trained hard for his future endeavor. All at the same time, Podkarpackie Racing failed to even come close to challenging for the win in endurance racing, thus dooming their efforts in the series and causing them to pull out altogether at the end of the season.

Needless to say, Podkarpackie's 2020 season was a complete disaster and they decided to tear the entire team apart from here, and put their entire focus in rebuilding with a young Kailu at the helm.

Kai Izherov

**Kai Rudanich Izherov (Cyrillic: Каи Ижеров)** is a Russian-Altruran aspiring race driver currently living in the Tveria District of Ishmira, Gaia.

## Early Life

Kai comes from a Russian working class family lineage that is directly traced to Tver, Russia. It is said that the Izherov family used to live in Tver from as far back as to the reign of Ivan III. The Izherovs, while primarily from the Tver area, also lived in Vladimir, Nizhny Novgorod, Yaroslavl, and Vologda. During the later years of the Russian Imperial Era, however, the family suffered a massive decline as disease outbreaks such as cholera and the flu struck Russia in the latter years of the 19th century. The 1889-1890 flu pandemic reduced the number of members in the Izherov family to just 7.

Not willing to take any more chances, 3 members of the Izherov family, Peter Izherov (the father of Max Izherov), his brother Ilya Izherov and Peter's wife Katarina Izherov immigrated to the United States to the "State" of Altruras (in reality Altruras was not officially incorporated as a state until after Hawaii became a state). The Izherovs' new home became the settlement of Ishmira in the small island of Gaia, and primarily lived further inland from the settlement's center near the Merilanitz Delta. The area surrounding their residence eventually developed in the Tveria District when Ishmira organized its boroughs in 1988.

Kai Izherov was born on September 30, 2006 to Rudan Izherov and Yulia Izherov, in a time where ESPLAR was in the grasp of its 2nd Golden Age, where the series began to expand globally outside North America. His family were dedicated fans of the series, and specifically Team Nitra. Kai is the youngest of three children born in this family; he has an older brother (Ivan) as well as an older sister (Kalina).

(WIP)

## Present

Kai is today a part of ESPLAR's Rise to Race program, and hopes to get behind the wheel of a ESPLAR car as soon as he turns 15. (ESPLAR Tier 3 and below have reduced the minimum age to race to 15) Kai is also learning how to drive, and already has passed his noncommercial driver's test. As of June 2020, he has already outperformed fellow competitors in the RtR program such as Emil Fayzullin, Nizar Keicharo and Eni Kaguire. His incredible feats, which are starting to become a norm among young Altrurans, have managed to envy most people in his home district.

## Trivia

* Kai hails his heritage from Tver, Russia.
* Kai is a student at ESPLAR's RtR program.
* Kai often challenges fellow Tverians of his district to card battles. He is a big fan of the **Cardfight!!** series and plays Link Joker most of the time. His ongoing streak of victories against players in his district of Ishmira has earned him the nickname "Jetshaft" in which he proudly uses.
* Kai speaks English and Russian, and is learning Hungarian and Polish.
* Kai's favorite race track is not Ishmira International Raceway, but rather Golden State Motorsports Park.
* Kai's number is 19.
* Kai shares the same birth month and date as Lean Campana.
Fall of Formula A in ESPLAR

The **Fall of Formula A** refers to a series of events that led to the collapse of all **International Formula Management's** Formula racing series and the destruction of **Motor Racing Conglomerate (MRC)** and all of its related and child companies in early 2019 prior to the start of the 2019 season. Formula A, Formula B, and many regional Formulae racing series which defined the auto racing class for many decades were declared defunct almost immediately following IFM and MRC's collapse, which overnight put hundreds of drivers without a ride. Many fans across the globe were left in the dark regarding details which caused IFM and MRC to collapse, although with IFM's self-declared successor the **International Formula Racing Committee's** Formula NX nearly everything returned to normal with most of the drivers from the former IFM leagues finding rides elsewhere.

The following year in 2020, IFRC declared the return of most, if not all, of IFM's former formulae racing series under new names. Some regional series which had survived the collapse of IFM up to this point, including **Formula Nippon**, were brought into the IFRC fold.

That April, 2018 Formula Sigma champion Lean Campana released a memorandum through Altruras Radio-Television KATR-09 which finally declassified hidden files and documents related to IFM's and MRC's activities, bringing to light all of their suspicious activities and acts of corruption which damaged Formula A's reputation in the 2010s.
Conamara, Ishmira

**Conamara** is a district borough of the city of Ishmira in Gaia state. Conamara's name comes from the Irish name of historic County Connemara in Ireland, which encompasses the western part of County Galway.

As of 2020, the borough population is 174,800 and is growing thanks to immigration. Formerly a Irish cultural district, the borough is rapidly diversifying. Despite this, Conamara is around 40% Irish ethnicity and retains a lot of Irish architecture.

The district is home to the affluent Harringey Hamlets by the delta.

Continuing from last issue, Ultron-6 has just been resurrected by the Vision inside Avengers Mansion, the resulting attack causes an explosion. Even with the combined efforts of Thor, Iron Man, Goliath, Yellowjacket, Black Panther, the Wasp and Vision (who is now free from Ultron's influence), the robot manages to defeat Earth's mightiest heroes and makes a quick escape, to plot the total destruction of mankind.
Seeking to make up for betraying the Avengers, the Vision follows Ultron back to his base to learn the robots plot: It's attempting to destroy New York City in a giant nuclear explosion. Soon, the Vision is joined by the Avengers who take the sidelines while the Vision battles his creator. However the battle is lost because of the untimely intervention of S.H.I.E.L.D. agents (who are tracking the Adamantium which Ultron's body is constructed of) arrive and stun the Vision, allowing Ultron to escape, leaving the Avengers to deal with the device set to destroy the whole city.

Zhamiræt Galaztæ

**Zhamiræt Galaztæ** (Cyrillic: **Жамирæт Галазтæ**) (or simply Zhamir) is a Ossetian-Altruran race driver driving for Toyota in the 2020 European Touring Car Championship. He is the 2019 Formula Australasia Champion. Due to political tensions between Russia and Georgia regarding South Ossetia, he does not race under the flag of either country; instead he races under the Ossetian flag in the ETCC and under the Altruran flag in ESPLAR.
2020 European Touring Car Championship Season

The **2020 European Touring Car Championship** is the 39th season of the premier European Touring Car championship series. Emiel Drumaek is the defending series champion but did not compete to defend his title. Jaguar Sport Yorkshire are the defending Team Champions. It is the first season with at least 8 manufacturers as Japanese manufacturers Toyota and Nissan competed for the first time this season bringing the total manufacturer count to 9.

## Signed Teams and Drivers

The following drivers and teams are confirmed to race in the 2020 ETCC season. (WIP)
Perfect 70

A **perfect 70** is an accomplishment in the ESPLAR Elite Series where a driver scores all available eligible points in an event. The perfect 70 takes its form from the maximum eligible points in a race in the 2020 EES points system.

To score a perfect 70, a driver must win the pole or advance the most positions from qualifying position (5), lead the most laps (5) and win the race (60).

## 2019

When the EES points system was revamped, 50 points were awarded for wins, while 10 points each were awarded for pole, hard charger, and leading the most laps.

The following drivers earned a perfect 70 during the course of the season:

* Julia Truong, Moncton and Mexico
* Katya Alarcon, Port Elizabeth (Oswego and Krakow could also be here but these were chase events)
* Samet Ozkan, Karelia

## 2020

So far this season, the following drivers earned a perfect 70:

* Katya Alarcon, Georgia
* Julia Truong, Germany
* Kailan Tuornin, Britain and Norway
* Miyoko Uemura, New England

## 2023

With the revamp of the points system, the Perfect 70 will be replaced by Ultra 180, with 150 points for first place, and 15 bonus points for pole, hard charger and leading the most laps.
Kailan Tuornin

**Kailan Ruronach Tuornin**, or simply **Kailan Turonin**, is an Altruran race car driver from Roswell Park, in Leiko-Ulist island of the Altruras Archipelago. He is the current ESPLAR East Regional Series (one of ESPLAR Tier 4 series) champion after winning all 7 out of 12 races in that series run so far, despite driving for a severely underfunded **Turvali-Koralia Racing** team. He raced in the 2019 ESPLAR Elite Series Round of North Dakota and thus became the 3rd youngest driver to compete in the EES. He is expected to drive for Ferrari in the ESPLAR Elite Series in 2020 despite coming from tier 4.

## Trivia

* Kailan Tuornin is the first Lean278 ESPLAR OC that is inspired by a Pokemon character. More specifically, Kellyn of Pokemon Ranger Shadows of Almia, which Lean278 played back around 2009.
* Kailan has been the subject of memes by Lean278, with the "mistaken identity" blunder in the North Dakota Race results when the program Lean was using to record race results, Race Points Manager, showed the previous driver of the #32 (the car Kailan drove at North Dakota) instead of Kailan, resulting in the #ItsKailan meme as a result. The #ItsKailan meme was also used outside of ESPLAR, in the S5 Shell F1 Series finale at Laguna Seca after that series' host misspelled Kailan's name in the final points tally, resulting in another usage of the meme. The only times when the hashtag is allowed to be used is when Kailan's name is spelled incorrectly or another driver is shown in the results in Kailan's place (when Kailan is supposed to show in the results).
* Kailan can speak Dutch. (However this has yet to be confirmed)
* Kailan was originally going to be the main Lean278 representative when he signed up for the ARCSOA Elite Series Season 25 one-offs. However, he chose to sign himself up instead since he has already competed in an ARCSOA race already (American 700 XIV)
