******BREAKING NEWS******
Earlier today at the Suzuka Circuit, Japan, 17 year old J.Nguyen, driver of the #98 Mooncraft ED S2000, crashed in a freak accident. "I really dont understand what happened." he states. "I talked to my mechanincs and they told me that iw as pushing the car too hard and the engine blew. I do re-call that happening but what happened next was insane."
Sources say that the transmission locked up and the driveshaft was shattered which then spewed itself all over the track and then blew out the rear two tires. He states, "The rear wheels all of a sudden loss traction and the car flipped around and did a 180."
"What really happened was that his foot was on the brake but the rear had absolutly no traction so inertia made the rear of the car swing outward", says the chief mechanic Bobaganush. Once the car flipped around he safely skidded his way to the sand where he emerged un-scathed.
"I talked to my team about repairs but they said that there was no way we can get anything done by the end of the season. I am really disapointed about this loss as the S2000 was one of the most balanced cars I have ever driven." Nguyen states. "I do remember over-revving the engine to about 9500 RPMs before it blew so that might be the problem. I didn't want to shift because I was fast approaching a corner and was going to be slowing the car down anyway. On the bright side, I guess no one can say I dont push hard enough!"
Nothing was said about what car they will have next year and when the subject was brought up all they said was "The competition might check they're rear-view because they're gonna be surprised" and quickly changed the subject. As for the rest of the year, J.Nguyen stated that he will be driving the Fortune Kageishin FD3S full-time. He right now is the Leader of the ST3 class with the FD. At 17 years old he is putting up a very bright future for himself in racing.
