Then we'll do this one.

[There! Decision made! Shiro pressed the start button so they could start picking their vehicles]

[tempredmental]

[Keith nodded, and then started working on his car. It was a twistier track than the last one, so he toned it down on the speed points, and put some of them towards maneuverability this time.]

[lionunchained]

[Shiro also worked to balance his car out more. While he left more speed, he also took other steps to help it on the course, like maneuverability and weight, since both would help it stay on the winder course. Picking a slightly heavier car also meant he could leave the speed higher because it would need it]

[tempredmental]

[Once he was all set, Keith settled in and waited for the race to start.]

You're in for it this time.

[lionunchained]

We'll see about that.

[Shiro waits patiently for the race to start and then he hit the button make his car go]

[tempredmental]

Is that a challenge?

[Keith did the same, hitting the accelerator button as soon as he could. He definitely had more control this time. And, while it was super fast off the starting line, he could get it moving pretty well in the straightaways. He smirked, chewing on his lower lip in concentration.]

[lionunchained]

Of course it is.

[Shiro could definitely get some speed on the straightaways, but it was the curves that he was hoping that he had the advantage on. If Keith's car had trouble on the turns, this would work out for him because of the number of turns]

[tempredmental]

[That got a bigger smirk from Keith and- surprise, Shiro! Keith learned from the last one! His car could handle turns! He still had a bit more points in the speed category than the handling category, but he wasn't crashing into walls!]

[lionunchained]

Ah ha! You're learning. You've realized you can't just use the speed.

[Shiro was actually pleased to see that even if it meant that he was effectively losing to Keith now. His own car handled the turns well, but he'd taken maybe too much of the speed for the stability so he wasn't quite keeping up with Keith this time]

[tempredmental]

Uh, yeah.

[Keith sounded mildly insulted.]

You say that like it's a big deal for me to do that.

[He smirked, though. He wasn't really insulted.]

[lionunchained]

[Sorry, Shiro's a brat sometimes. Besides he is the leader of the team]

It's not like its a bad thing, but crashing into things is not how to win the race.

[He's definitely feeling better now]

[tempredmental]

I didn't crash into that many things!

[Okay, Keith... no. Really. You did.]

[lionunchained]

Really? You didn't?

[Oh yeah... you did. But he's doing better now]

[tempredmental]

[Keith growled a little, but he wasn't angry. He was honestly glad to see Shiro doing better, and would gladly make himself the target of a little ribbing if it got Shiro to make jokes and smile again.]

Maybe a little...

[Keith looked over just long enough to smirk a bit and get back to the race. Because, he had readjusted the settings on his car, and it was definitely doing better this time around, giving Shiro a real run for his money and making it a very close race.]

[lionunchained]

[Shiro could help a chuckle, but now that it was getting serious, he was going to lay off teasing Keith for a bit so that he could focus on the race. The cars were pretty well neck and neck. Even so, Keith had a little more speed than Shiro so when there was a straight away, he had an advantage]

[tempredmental]

[Luckily for Keith, the finish was on a straight section on track, so he gunned it as he came around the last turn, getting some distance between them before crossing the line first.]

Yes!

[He pumped his fist, grinning like the time he'd chased down Rolo's ship to rescue Blue.]

[lionunchained]

[Shiro smiled at that]

Good job Keith. Guess we need to do one more? Find out who wins?

[tempredmental]

Well, yeah. We gotta break the tie. It's the best two out of three for a reason.

[He grinned a little.]

Random track this time?

[lionunchained]

Random track this time. Maybe we should pick the same car this time? See who can handle it better?

[tempredmental]

[Keith considered it for a moment and then smirked.]

Alright, yeah. You're on.

[lionunchained]

[Random course select gave them another difficult course with a lot of turns. And with car selection, Shiro picked a good, run of the mill car. Not too fast, not weighing too much, decent agility. And no mods]

How’s this?

[tempredmental]

Alright, let's do it.

[Keith grinned a bit.

He honestly did wonder sometimes if he would have surpassed Shiro's pilot stats at graduation as everyone said he was on course to do. Too bad he'd never find out...]

[lionunchained]

[Yeah, it really was a shame that Keith wouldn’t get the chance to try and beat Shiro’s scores. Shiro had no reason to want to hold onto them other than status symbol from years ago. Besides, he did want to see Keith would be able to beat him at some point.

Shiro pressed the button to start the race, watching as it did the obligatory course overview for them before they started]

[tempredmental]

[Keith waited, somewhat impatiently, but he let it go through the overview without trying to hit any skip buttons. Then, it zoomed in on the starting line, showing the two cars, and began the countdown. Keith tapped his finger lightly against the accelerator button as it counted...

3... 2... 1...

GO!

He hit the button hard, the car skidding a bit off the line, but getting a grip quickly before taking off down the track.]

[lionunchained]

[Impatient, impatient, impatient... but then again, Shiro wasn't much better. He didn't try to rush the cut screen or the countdown, but as soon as the screen announced "GO!", he hit the button hard too. He was maybe a second to early and like Keith's, his car took a moment to get traction.

This was going to be an interesting race]
