Begin here: I am at the starting line of the race track and i’m feeling ecstatic to drive. Before I speed off, I see people taking videos and photographs of me getting ready to go. The engine starts and I speed off as swiftly as flash. I reach the first turn and I maneuver, I hear a screeching sound coming from the tyres.

I suddenly perceive that i’m starting to taste my outrageous sweat dripping down. During my ongoing driving, I can smell the foul, polluted air and smoke coming from the exhaustion pipe on the car. I’m now feeling relieved because I finally reach the end, and I can now watch the footage of me driving critically. I can now smell a good fresh air. I hear people clapping and praising me for a fantastic drive.
