Here, I will tell about the story of Gran Turismo. It's a tale filled with love, trust, loyalty, family issues, betrayal, and a whole LOT of racing action!
A long time ago, there was a rich young man in California named Lemar Bennett. Thing is the way he looked, you wouldn't be able to tell if he was rich because he didn't wear fancy clothes or even had a big house. Nope, he helped his dad Spencer Bennett, run the family's garage/auto center! But he was known amongst his friends as "Zero" because he had never won a race in his ENTIRE life.
And it was always because he had to race the meanest driver in the entire state named "The Crusher" because whenever he raced against him, Crusher would always wreck his car.
What Lemar drove, he always considered it to be special, it was a Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution version V. Crusher would always drive a R34 Nissan Skyline, and it always seemed to outperform Lemar's car. Anyway one day in September while Lemar and his dad were doing some work on his car because Lemar was gearing up for another race, a customer came in for their custom part order. Lemar hears them and goes to the front desk, his hands dirty with oil. Lemar asks, "Hello, may we help you today?" The customer says, "Uh yes, I came for my order. You know, the Turbocharger kit?" Lemar responds, "Ah, yes. We have your order in the back, I'll go and get it." While going towards the back his dad asks, "Who was it?". He says, "It's the customer who ordered the Turbocharger set a week ago." "Well did you ask for the customer's ID?" Spencer asks. "Um, no. I forgot, I was still thinking about today's race." Lemar said. "Well then, go and ask him! We're not giving handouts, remember?" "Ok dad, I will." So Lemar goes back and asks, "Excuse me sir, may I see your ID?" "Of course you can, my boy." The customer reaches in his coat and retrieves his ID. Lemar takes a look and his eyes widens.
He yells, "DAD, come here!" Spencer comes in running. "What's wrong?" Lemar says, "Dad, take a look at what his ID says!" Spencer looks and HIS eyes widen. "You, you're the..." The man nods. "That's right boys, I'm the commissioner of the GT league, Grant Torino! Lemar says, "Oh wow, dang! It's an honor having you at our store!"

CHAPTER I: From humble and not-so-humble beginnings!

Grant laughs and says, "Really? Well what license do you have?" "Just this one sir." Lemar fishes out his license and gives it to Grant. "Well I see that you have an A class license Lemar, have you been in any big races yet?" Lemar then looks sad and says, "No sir, I haven't. After all, I'm still having trouble beating this guy named Crusher." "Crusher you say? Why he used to be in GT's finest!" Grant responded. "Hey, aren't they the only 6 drivers ever to race the best in their league?" Spencer asks with wonder. Grant says, "That's correct. As a matter of fact, he used to be the US champion in the league!" "Used to?
What happened to him"? Lemar asks. Grant siged heavily and said, "Well one day while he raced in the GT World Cup he was caught modifying his car before the race started with parts from the other countries' cars to power up his own." Spencer said, "I see, go on." "As a result, we had to disqualify him and revoke him of his license.
. Just a suggestion though, break up your paragraphs to make it easier to read. Otherwise it's quite a good start 
.
"How can this loser actually be beating me?" he thought bitterly.
"Oh well, maybe I can force him to forfeit by damaging his car enough!"
So he waited until the first turn came back and then he made his move. Lemar never saw him coming from behind. WHAM! Lemar felt a violent bump from behind and saw that Crusher was trying to force him off the track. "I can't lose to him! Not after all that hard work I did to the car! But at the same time I also don't want to lose this car!" So Lemar let Crusher pass and Crusher drove back and stopped by him with the window down. He then said, "See you later loser! I'm always going to win and you know why?"
"Well in that case, may I at least use a Mercury Cougar?" "Hmm, I'll have to check the availability... ah yes, there's one available!" "Then I'll use that one please." "Certainly, just one moment..." The examiner entered in some new information on the computer. "Here we go, you may go take the test now." "Where will the test be at, if you don't mind me asking?" "All parts of the test will be done in the Seattle Circuit track." "Oh, really?" "That's correct sir, your flight will be leaving in an hour."
Grant walked up and said, "Well Lemar, how do you feel?" "Personally, I feel a little excited and nervous at the same time." "Well don't worry son. Pre-test jitters, I even used to have them!" Lemar looked at him, "What?" Grant quickly cleared his throat and Spencer said, "Oh nothing!" Lemar thought, "What was that all about?"
But he had no time, as the intercom said "Flight 283 now departing for Seattle international!"
"So, when will my test be?" Grant looked at his watch and said, "Your test should be in about 3 hours." "Hey Dad, can we get some breakfast? I'm hungry!" Spencar laughed and said, "Sure son, we'll come too. After all, I could use some coffee..."
"Yep, you do good here today and I'll take you to see the game later on." Spencer said, while smiling. "Really? Who's playing the Seahawks today?" "Why your team of course!" "No way, the Panthers are playing them today?"
Spencer cried. "Dad, is something wrong?" "No Lemar. It's just that I'm so proud of you!" Spencer said. "Uh guys?" Lemar asked. "What?" they both said. "Can we go get some lunch? I'm HUNGRY!" "Sure!" Grant said. "After all, racing can work up an appetite!"
you're making me blush!" Lemar said.
