Kara mused to herself as she sat in traffic, tapping the wheel of her car.
She had been the heiress of the De Luca family, her father the owner of De Luca Automobiles, and sponsor of many of the finest racers in the Turbo 1 championship, cars, racing, they hadn't just been something that she was interested in, it was something that she felt was in her very blood, her destiny even.
Her father didn't see it that way, instead expecting her to play the role of the doting daughter who would do as he demanded, look pretty, give him a son, etc, any chances she had of making it as a professional racer were seemingly dashed when she cut ties with him, with many others in the Turbo 1 circuit afraid to cross Giovanni De Luca for fear of his wraith.
So here she was, 25 years old on the roads of Milan, making her living as a grid girl, an underground racer, and most pressingly, a transporter for one Valérie Laurelle, CEO of Spire Cosmetics, she had no idea what was even in the trunk of the car she'd been given, but Valérie paid well, didn't socialize too much with her, and more importantly, had dropped a hint or two that she may agree to sponsor Kara for some more professional races...
