All the race tests came to an end with Warhammer and Dave topping both the female and male leaderboards, but all the ruckus of the festival and all the racing got Dave thinking.
"I've been racing on these Highways for the best part of nine years but I don't even know my rank, I know there's an official top 50 but I've never seen it" Dave thought.
"Really? You Gaijin are all the same, we spend all this time building the greatest racing network in the world and you don't even know your rank?" the young Japanese guy was Bloodhound's son.
"Kosei, back off, a leaderboard doesn't make the driver and stop calling our non-Japanese drivers Gaijin" Bloodhound telling off his son.
The giant man brought up the official rankings, one look made Dave excited as his rank was 4th.
"Nice, but who are the three ahead of me?"
Dave said drinking a coke.
The top two were Warhammer's brother and Joel Helkin, no surprises there but Dave nearly choked on his drink when he saw that Giro Morgan was third.
"There's no way Gaz is faster than me!" Dave shouted using Giro's nickname.
Bloodhound urged calm as his presence was felt, it was clear that he was one of the Eight Masters when Warhammer looked nervous around him.
After some calm, Dave asked about Warhammer's rank.
"I'm fifth last time I checked and please call me Nasu, that is my actual name" Nasu called from under the red Nissan.
The name Nasu refers to many regions in Japan but the most common story from her mother is that she named her after her favourite artist from the group Type Moon.
Dave and Nasu hit it off very well, they bonded over the cars they owned and Nasu mentioned that she tuned all four of her Nissans herself.
It went so well that they both found themselves going out for food, it was clear that the two had chemistry.
