The instant the five red lights illuminated, Wu Shi's hands landed on the steering wheel, a little hastily.
But the lights seemed to stay on forever, his heart inexplicably starting to race. The moment of the start... when would it come?

He released the clutch on pure instinct, his right foot lightly applying the throttle. The revs were right around the peak of the power curve for first gear.
VROOOOM!
CLUNK!
The engine howled once before settling into a deep thrum.
The car shot forward from a standstill, pinning him against his seat.
VRMM-CHUNK! ROAR!
He held first gear for just a moment before slamming into second. The acceleration surged, and the engine's roar grew sharper and more powerful.
