A Race to the Death! For glory, and for honour!

Alright guys! Here I am again, trying to garner interest for a racing related RP. No it won't be centrally about that, but more about the intense rivalry which occurs in such a setting. The need for speed to win it all, against stiff competition from the fiercest and fittest rivals you've ever known. Much like the concept of the battle to the death in an arena, where it's not only something more than life, but it's also a spectacle to watch and behold! Below will be my explanation of this interesting idea, and I hope that you guys enjoy reading it!

There exists a form of professional racing series (Not Formula 1, but somewhat like it) that has existed for a long time. It was founded in the 80s when the worldwide crowd demanded a need for speed on such a grand and spectacular scale. Having such a sport was very dangerous then. During the 80s and 90s a couple of racers died, which has caused safety and technology to be a main focus of the sport.

We now jump straight to the year 2020-2030 (somewhere around that era). These cars are so technologically sophisticated and safe that racing in one has become much more simpler and less risky than before. The focus has returned back to pure hard racing with minimal fear factor, as the driver no longer has to worry too much about managing the car as much as they had to in the 2000's era. That's a bit about the sport. Now the story...

We focus on a racer who started as a rookie in the smaller teams, scrapping his way and racing hard to get the attention of top teams. ?Eventually he got his big break when he was accepted into one of them, and from there on he won a couple of championship titles season after season. Of course with that comes controversy. And for him, it was about how he would stretch the limit of the rules to his as well as the team's advantage and favour. It makes him very unsportsman-like to his other fellow racers and at times teammate as well. But it allowed for him to win those titles in the first place.

Of course that did not last long, when others started bucking up and making his quest to win more titles harder than before. Despite his best efforts for years he was no longer able to win titles. So to save face he decided to retire while still in his prime, but after 3-4 years he decided to come back to the sport, trying to race again for one last time to see if he still has what it takes in the path of greatness. He would have started his career back in 2010, and ended it in 2019. So after years he would return to a sport which has changed dramatically (the safer and more simpler one).

In the past he thrived because when the cars were more of a hassle to manage, he knew how to set his car up for every race, a major factor in his big advantage back then. But now that the level playing field has been more equally closer than before, he would come back to find that most of the advantage he previously had in his prime was gone. He now has to rely more on his racing instincts and less on his stroke of genius.

He now has to race as hard as anyone else, utilising pure skill and talent to challenge others. And by age he is probably near the end of his 30s' or at his early 40s', as these athletes in general tend to be around their 20s' or even below that. It's a young man's sport, where age does matter. But this character was arguably the fittest back then in his prime. Because of this he strongly believes that he can still win a title despite his aging self.

So that's what this character is about. What I like is for the story of this RP to revolve around his intense rivalry with not only a younger and more favoured teammate this time around, but other younger racers who are all also vying for the title from different teams. He's an old dog amongst all of them, vying to reclaim his previous form.

So I hope that this has caught your interest. I know it's not easy to find people who are willing to role play about motor racing, especially one like this. But this doesn't have to be concrete, and I'm open for suggestions from you guys as long as it has motor racing (or something else closely similar to that) as a setting.

Hope to hear from you guys soon! :)
