Need for speed 2 (Patreon)

Harry's first season in Japan wasn’t bad... far from that, actually. He finished fourth in the driver's standings, while his team was runner-up in the teams' championship. 

However, the young man wasn't so satisfied with the way things had gone. As every good sportsman, Harry was a very competitive person, and his impetuous spirit forced him to say exactly what he thought, even on occasions when this wouldn’t be advisable...

"I'm telling you, Yamada-Shachõ, I could have done a lot better!" he told the head of his team, in his broken Japanese. "The problem was that the team favored Ito-San all over the year..."

"Do you remember the contract you signed, Wood?" asked the old Japanese man, coldly. "You know very well that Ito is the team's main driver. He's been driving for us for four years now."

"Forgive me for saying so, Yamada-Shachõ, but so what? He's been here longer than I do, right, but you know I’m better driver than him. Don't you remember what he did in Suzuka's race, for example? He ran out of the track and hit the car when he was about to win the race! So why does he have main driver status? Just because he is Japanese? With equal conditions, I know I can help the team much more."

"I don't like your tone, young man. You're a good driver - not as good as you think - but a good one. Despite that, you have no right to talk to me this way. Do you think I don’t know how to run my own team? This is not how things work in this country, you know... I've already fired people for much less than that…"

"I-I'm sorry, Yamada-Shachõ. I didn't intend to offend you. It's just that..."

"Shut up, Wood! Now it's my turn to speak. Do you want the equal conditions? Fine! I have a proposal for you. As you know, Yamamoto's team won the last three seasons, and I want to know why. I'm sure this is not because of their drivers... There's something special about their cars. Some kind of secret weapon … So, in these next months before the start of the next season, I want you to discover their secret. If you manage to do that, you'll have what you want.”

"B-but how could I do something like that, Yamada-Shachõ?"

"An undercover mission, Wood. I know someone who can help you in this regard... Oh, and one last thing. If you fail, you're fired, and I'll make sure you won’t take part in any race on this continent ever again!"
