Benjamin Holo-Bay

Making his debut at the pinnacle of hypersonic motorsport, Benjamin Holo-Bay is one of those drivers who despite 5008 (the year that Ghost Race Championship 2 takes place) being his debut year, has quite a fan base. This is because Benjamin was before, and still is, a very young but experienced skater, and that to show his love not only for skateboarding but also for motorsport, he decides to unite everyone who competes at the pinnacle of hypersonic motorsport to convert his talent into the skating to the Ghost Race Championship, where he will venture into the midfield a lot, but consistently ranking in the top 35. Benjamin also competes being sponsored by Axle Bowl, Cohren Skateboarding and Dentone.  Unlike some drivers, Benjamin Holo-Bay is not one of the 56 title contenders and receives a DNF at Rocket Field.

## Friendship with Andrew Thomson

Before entering the Ghost Race Championship, Benjamin is a very close friend of fellow driver Andrew Thomson, who is already experienced in the category, despite both being 18 years old. Both met when they were 12, when Andrew was in G2R. This friendship started when Benjamin had committed one of his rare skateboarding accidents, and Andrew went to Benjamin to see if he was okay. Benjamin recognized Andrew and said if he raced in the Ghost Race Championship, and Andrew said he was in the G2R, the Ghost Race Championship (or Formula 2 of the Ghost Race Championship universe for simplicity's sake) access category, and that he had ambitions to race in the Ghost Race Championship one day, which in the case of Andrew, or rather both, happened.

Andrew introduced Benjamin to his girlfriend Eliza, who is also looking to race in the Ghost Race Championship, as she was racing in the G3R at the time. Benjamin was very fond of Andrew, and even asked if Andrew could at least explain how the Ghost Race Championship works, as at the time Benjamin was not very familiar with the Ghost Race Championship in general. But, 3 months after the two met, Benjamin asked a question that would completely change his life: If he could enter the Ghost Race Championship. Andrew said he would need to spend some time training for this, given that Ghost Race Championship is said to be a "cruel and overpolitical world" for amateurs, and that rookie drivers who don't pass entry categories would be less tolerated due to possible unreliability. Despite the obstacles he would face, Benjamin Holo-Bay decided to start a journey to reach the pinnacle of hypersonic motorsport, without going through basic categories due to the reduced investment he would have. With that, Benjamin had a suggestion of his own: Quit skateboarding entirely to focus on the Ghost Race Championship. But instead, he would actually continue to skate as he would struggle to enter the Ghost Race Championship at large.

But, instead of suffering difficulties in terms of investment, Benjamin would not need more investments, since he is a very famous figure in the world of skateboarding, something that would facilitate his entry into the Ghost Race Championship. What made Benjamin's life even easier was the fact that his main sponsor, Cohren Skateboarding, authorized him to race in the Ghost Race Championship, with the addition of more sponsors, than whose sponsors would be Axle Bowl and Dentone. In September 5007, the skateboarding world received the news that its biggest star, Benjamin Holo-Bay, would enter the Ghost Race Championship from 5008, and that his machine, the Zim Hoverboard, was even ready. In November of the same year, tests of amateur drivers were carried out 3 days after the 2987th edition of Rocket Field, on the same track. Benjamin impressed everyone when he went to the track and overcomed the average speed of the also young Ermin Behamek, who was racing in the G2R (still does, in this case). Benjamin Holo-Bay's average speed that day was 5623.71 km/h (3494.41 mph), and Ermin Behamek's average speed was 5623.37 km/h (3494.38 mph). In other words, in his first test as a future Ghost Race Championship driver, a highly successful debut was already expected by the young skateboarding star.

Andrew Thomson, who was at Rocket Field that day, was delighted with what Benjamin Holo-Bay is able to do on the track with his Zim Hoverboard, and congratulated him in the coliseum paddock. Both were quite happy with each other not believing that the following year, they would start racing together at the pinnacle of hypersonic motorsport, and even thought about making a team together, which did not happen, as the Ghost Race Championship forces its drivers to race individually. The friendship of the two since then continues, where a very promising future is expected for the two.
