Race report: Daytona Domination: Horta Unleashes the Ferrari 550!
Fernando Horta took overall victory at Daytona International Speedway after completing 15 laps in 0:12:29.341 aboard his #01 Ferrari 550 Maranello.
WE CRUSHED THEM ALL AT DAYTONA! DUUUUUDE, DID YOU SEE THAT PACE?! Fiftheen laps of absolute, mind-melting speed around the banking, and our #01 Williams Grand Prix Ferrari 550 Maranello was completely unstoppable once we finally decided to lead the race instead of sightseeing! Matt Kenseth tried to bring all that DeWalt power and Lightning McQueen came lightning-fast out of Radiator Springs, but man, we just tapped into pure black-border mana and left everyone staring at our rear wing! Fifteen laps of sheer adrenaline, zero hesitation, and absolutely no rules left unbent in the high banks!
Fernando Horta (Driver): Man, I didn't even look at the timing screens, I just cast Ancestral Recall on the main straight and drew three extra gears! The car was tapping straight into my library, and every time I mashed the throttle it was like dropping a Wrath of God on the entire GT1 field! We started, we fell back, we figured out the mana curve, and then we just went tap five mountains, incinerate the podium! Brahmas all around the garage tonight, boys!
Shivan Dragon (Lead Mechanic): *RAAAAWWR! (+5/+0 until end of race and discards two lands to incinerate Matt Kenseth's rear tyres!)*
