GASCAR Young Blood Week Over

KIT Special Edition

GASCAR, after this year's Young Blood Week, is truly living up to its name.

Six new nationalities are now being represented in GASCAR; drivers from Marollia, Glorianay, Nedporen, North Nebraska, Calcaterra, and Valirria have passed Young Blood Week and are now set to get their first rides in 2060. More Ulutorian drivers are also set to race in GASCAR.

That now means that 14 nationalities are being represented; along with the ones we previously mentioned, there's Skahyahn, Bonple, Sozkana, Lapod, Alaback, Anthacia, Zambet Fata and Senora. With 35 nations on Tierra, that means almost 40% of the world's population are being represented in the world's premier racing sanctioning body.

Although we'd love to showcase all the new drivers and nationalities entering our great sport, we're limited to only featuring the top five drivers that earned rides in GASCAR from this year's Young Blood Week.

1. Assunto Lovera

Lovera, from Marollia, is a former open wheel racer. Although he is generally considered a great driver, bad luck has plagued his open wheel career. He started in 58 races, never winning a single one and also never winning any championships in his open wheel career. This was mainly due to car problems, as he has a great driving style. He found greater success in GT racing, and now he's decided that closed wheel cars are for him, hence, GASCAR.

He has many years of racing experience under his belt, we here at KIT predict that Lovera will place high in the points.

2. Geoffrey Pacifica

Pacifica, from Glorianay, is a jack of all trades. He's raced in sprint, GT, open wheel, motorcycles, and low series stock cars. Although he hasn't found much success in open wheel and motorcycles, he developed a strong career in sprint and GT, winning three sprint championships and five GT championships. He's also raced in a few local stock car races, winning a couple.

A successful career for sure, however he's had some growing pains during Young Blood Week, smacking into the wall during the first race at the academy's track, totaling his car. Still, in the other two races he placed highly, earning him a ride for the 2060 season.

3. Dolan Hill

Dolan Hill, from Calcaterra, has been making his way up Calcaterra's racing scene slowly but surely since 2053. He's saw small successes here and there, including winning Calcaterra's most prestigious stock car race, the North West City Shootout.

He, among other Calcaterrican stock drivers, decided to try their hand at the big league. Hill, along with a few Calcaterricans, were able to secure rides. A passionate promoter of all forms of racing, media savvy, articulate, and attractive, he possesses the driving skills that could see a Calcaterrican bring home the world cup.

4. Ugori Najatomo

Najatomo, from Ulutor, is the definition of an adrenaline junkie. His love for speed saw him pursuing a career in racing, but after a couple years in stock cars he grew bored of racing on cookie cutter tracks, and soon joined the air force just in time for the Archipelago War. Achieving the rank of a flying ace, with Ulutor now at peace and no new combat in site, Najatomo resigned from the air force and got his way into the Young Gun Week. Using driving tactics he learned during his time on dirt and aerodynamics tactics he learned in the air force, he secured himself a ride for the 2060 season. Whether or not he'll displace Prakash Kapadia as the most popular Ulutorian driver remains to be seen, but with Najatomo's military background, Kapadia's going to have to race hard if he wants to stay relevant.

5. Dave Reinhart

Reinhart is a muscle/stock car racer from North Nebraska, whose father, Ronald Reinhart, was a dirt track racing legend. He's raced as a replacement driver for various GASCAR drivers since 2057, and now he's ready to race in the big league as a full time driver. Will he follow in his father's footsteps and become a short track legend? Or will he develop his own racing style? Only time will tell.
