She hadn't paid attention to the international F1 circuit for six years now, and her team was still based out of Evermore City. If she wanted to meet Osborn's

demands, she'd have to do what she did last time-track down every single one of her old teammates and pull them together again.

Victoria sat at her desk, scrolling through recent F1 Grand Prix results online, when Yasmine knocked on the door.
