General info

Finnaly got around to writing this thing lol. Feel free to switch out oc's name for your name if you want it to be a self insert. This whole thing is definitely self-indulgent, but feel free to leave suggestions.

She'll be driving for Porsche, their car is mainly yellow and black like a bee with minimal white accents. The suits are yellow with black from the palm of the gloves down the sides. Think Miles Morales spider suit from across the spider-verse but the second color going all the way down to the boots. With a white collar and shoulders.

The main character is a faceless, 20 year old female driver named Snow. She got her driver number with a random number generator.

Sebastian Vettel is a team principal for the new team and adamantly wanted Snow to be one of his drivers. In all honesty he’s still a grid dad/mom/parent.

She wears a motorbike helmet when she has to do anything that relates to f1, partying with the rest of the grid? Helmet. In public with someone from the grid? Helmet or a mask + sunglasses + hat combo.

She trains in the helmet as well to get used to wearing it all the time.

Might upgrade to an LED one that shows facial expressions later on.

She collects mostly motorcycles rather than cars. Her favorite is a custom black Kawasaki Ninja 400 with changeable LED underglow.

She's shy with new people and on camera (in the beginning) but becomes a menace. She is considerate but a feral gremlin nonetheless.

Definitely a yapper of given the chance.

She's shorter than Yuki by 6 cm and he reminds her every time they meet.

She has 0 self-preservation skills, not a single brain cell in that helmet.

When she wants to nap she hides in the weirdest places. She has been found asleep in a tree more than once.

Likes to munch, and is often seen munching on carrots, cucumbers or dried fruits before races. She's not a picky eater, and would try exotic fruits for fun.

Has a sibling relationship with most of the grid, a dad relationship with Sebastion, and an uncle with Lewis, Valtteri, Sergio, and Fernando.

Dark Gen Z humor and energy to the max.

Trauma? Yes.

Self-deprecation? Master class.

Secret emotional support stuffed animal? Yes.

Where are her parents? She doesn't have any. She just materialized into existence. At least, that's what she says.

Her warm-ups are balance exercises with juggling.

Before races, she gives everyone in her team helmet kisses/headbutts as an endearing ‘thanks in advance’ or a ‘let’s do well, good luck’.

Afterward, she will full on headbutt drivers if they have their helmets on or a helmet kiss if they don't, as a ‘congratulations you did it’ or ‘a you did well’.

Luis's Thoughts on Pixel Syndicate

Anika Kiyozaki

"I'm not a racing fan like Karada is. I know some people are interested, but if I wanted to see people driving down dangerously on roads and such, I'd just head to Osaka and watch people driving on the Kanjo Loop. ...Now that I think about it, I wouldn't be surprised if people used that as some sort of underground racing track. I mean, it's certainly busy during the day, and at night. But I guess that adds to the certain level of recklessness and dangerousness...

"But anyway, if Karada hadn't told me about this woman, I'd not know anything about her. Apparently after an incident, she retired from racing and now works as some sort of therapist. Like Karada mentioned, that's certainly a step away from racing, but I guess she probably wanted something more... low-key. Still, it's good to know she's here if I ever need to talk to someone."

Shian Meizono

"After I spent a day of thinking about it, I finally remembered where I saw this woman before. She had just come in after the lunch rush and asked for a large meal since she apparently had been hunting a criminal that had alluded her for almost three days straight. Not to quote Tomi, but I'm glad she is around. The fewer criminals hanging around here, the better. We already have one or two criminal teams in the D.R.B. The last thing we need is another.

"But anyway, she ate nearly everything on the menu and left a large tip. I'm kind of surprised I didn't recognize her when she delivered my birthday gift. The only other person I've seen eat as much as her is Kanra-chan from Edogawa. ...But, at least I have an idea of what to get her for her birthday."

Makina Setsukura

"Like I mentioned with 'Nikki Yoshie', I'm not all that big on video games. I've played them and I like some more than others, but I'm not as big a fan as Karada is. But anyway, he told me about this young woman. Apparently, she uploads videos of herself playing video games, either speed running through them or posting walkthroughs. ...I guess I know who to look for whenever I get the nerve to play video games again and I need some assistance. But the odds of that are very slim..."

Pixel Syndicate

"Not to quote my teammates, but I have to say, I'm quite surprised that Chuohku actually let a third team represent another division. The first team to do so was the Daybreakers who relocated to Kawasaki. The second team is the current team, the Otaku Corps. And these women make up the third team. I wonder just how many teams Chuohku needs to form or create before they are satisfied. Forming new divisions isn't enough. Now, they even have teams forming in already created divisions. I'm starting to think they just enjoy the chaos that they spread...

"But other than that, I don't think Tomi or Karada were giving these women a fair shot. Just like any other team, they have the ability to succeed, regardless of how well-known they are or not. I'm not saying one team is better than another. Whichever team between them or the Otaku Corps wins, they'll have earned and deserved it. I wish them both the best of luck."

First of all thank you so much for answering a couple of my questions even though they were all anon, I have a potentially dumb question but what are the factory bikes and setelite? -I don’t know how to spell it correctly sorry- and like why does Ducati for example have a lot of riders?

Hi there anon 👋👋👋👋

First of all, thank you to asking them and wanting to know more. There is never a dumb question because we all can learn something. And don't worry about being on anon, we are all scared at first.

Now What is a Factory and a Satellite (autocorrect did change it for me, I don't know how to spell it either) bike?

A manufacturer is the ones that buit the bike and are the same manufacturers that sell the street bikes: Ducati, KTM (although they do lots or mostly of road), Honda, Yamaha and Aprilia. But it's also Triumph (does the Moto2 engines), Husqvarna, GasGas, CF Motos, MV Agusta, Kawasaki, Suzuki, and etc.

Now a satellite is a bike owned/rented* by a privat team such as LCR, Tech3 or RNF (just to say some).

*The main difference between them is that the Manufacturer team is the one that builds the bike and maintains it, while the satellite team just buys or rents it for 1 year. Now it's mostly renting of the bikes and then return it to the manufacturer team. Not all the satellite teams do have the same status or even the satellite riders. For example, Yamaha used to just rent the bikes and didn't allow the satellite riders to test their new parts, whereas Ducati is now shoving the testing into the Pramac team, when it's usually the Factory riders the ones that do this. Honda used to give LCR a current bike and then a 1 year older bike to the other rider (mostly Taka). Yamaha did that too with Fabio and Franky.

Now let's dig into Ducati, shall we? They have 1 factory team, the Ducati Lenovo Team and 3 satellite bikes: Prima Pramac Racing, Gresini Racing MotoGP™ and Mooney VR46 Racing Team. There are differences in them. Lenovo and Pramac do have the 2023 bike whereas Gresini and Mooney have the 2022 bike. As I said, Pramac does most of the testing of the parts or at least last year (under the cut why) so them and Lenovo get the updates (first Ducati Lenovo Team as they are the factory and has priority, and then Pramac). Usually Gresini and Mooney don't get those updates because they already start with the last spec of last year's bike. They can get them as a present, but way later or if it a safety issue.

Now why does Ducati have an army? Because they are the best bike. satellite bikes are own privately, so they can change manufacturers when they want (they have contracts that says until when they can use their bikes, but after that they can change their minds). It could be due to a better bike offering them to be their supplier or getting a better offer, such as an sponsor or having to pay less for the bikes. Because of that, lots of teams want to have a Ducati, so they just rent their bikes. Ideally, Carlemo Ezpeleta, DORNA's CEO and one of the visible faces, said that his dream is or used to be to have a 6 manufacturers championship with each of them having a satellite team, to make it more fair because right now it seems to be a Ducati competitions (fair for them, but sometimes sucks).

I thinks that's all anon. Sorry I went a bit more into the political side of MotoGP.

I didn't forget about the why Pramac does the testing and the factory team gets to use it first. I just didn't want to upset Pecco's fan, and if you are one, sorry.

So basically at the start of last year Pecco went to the media and said he was unable to prepare his weekend and do the testing, so Ducati just asume it and gave that responsibility to Pramac, which to be honest is unfair. Every rider wants to be a manufacturer one because it means the glory and develop the bike, and to be honest is unfair to get the credit when someone else is doing the hard work. Being a manufacturer rider usually means a bigger salary than the satellite one, and at least last year Jorge didn't have it.

Again sorry for going political about this

Moto News | Wilson slams Friese | AUSX | WSX | MX | Baja + more

Dean Wilson lets fly after injury Dean Wilson has spoken out against competitor Vince Friese in an Instagram post, saying he ‘just drove it into me‘ at Round 3 of World Supercross, dislocating his shoulder and tearing his labrum, putting the rest of Wilson’s season in jeopardy. Dean Wilson “I wish it was something positive after the weekend. But enough is enough. I got hit really hard, didn’t see it coming, cause… I had guys in front of me, I didn’t see any need for it, typical Vince shit I’ve said this millions of times, where’s the punishment now he’s actually hurt someone, what’s his next goal to paralyse someone? He never gets penalised for anything he does and I’m sick of it, he raced a race the night before – the Super Final – he didn’t even make it into and got points for it.

Dean Wilson “I may need to get surgery, all the races I have planned is all in jeopardy. To say I’m frustrated is a very light way of putting it. It just sucks I was on a pretty good roll, my racing was good, I’ve just seen the doctors last night and got the MRIs done and all that. So I’ll do therapy and figure out if I want to get surgery or not. But I just think it’s bullshit.” Kaleb Barham breaks wrist at Perth SX Kaleb Barham crashed in the whoops while contesting the Perth event which left him with a broken wrist and some what battered and bruised. Barham has since returned to Brisbane where he will undergo surgery on his wrist and will be out of the remainder of the year. Kaleb Barham “It’s a disappointing way to end the year,” Barham laments. “I was feeling pretty good and had a good run going through the whoops when the front end missing one and then dropped into the next and spat me over the ‘bars. The bike then come over and slammed me as well. I knew my wrist wasn’t good and was a bit dazed, so I was taken to hospital where I was checked out and then kept overnight as my hand was also dislocated and it took it sometime to get it back in again. It’s part of racing, but it’s the part that sucks the most.” AUSX OPEN returns to Melbourne this weekend Australia’s largest and most prestigious Supercross event, the AUSX Open, makes it’s emphatic return this Saturday night, November 30, inside Marvel Stadium, in Melbourne.

Jett Lawrence Queenslanders Jett and Hunter Lawrence, departed Australia to compete professionally nine years ago, with this weekend’s event marking their first race on home soil since climbing to the pinnacle of global motorcycle racing in Europe and the USA.

Hunter Lawrence Joining both, is American superstar and two-time World Champion, Cooper Webb. Fresh off a victory in the famous Paris Supercross event and runner up placing in the AMA Supercross Championship in the USA, Cooper aims to be the spoiler in the Lawrence brothers homecoming parade. Set to be the largest supercross event in history outside of the USA, over 40,000 people are expected to descend on Marvel Stadium.

AUSX OPEN Champions will be crowned in the Fox Australian Supercross Championship as the Melbourne event marks the fifth and final round of the series. In the SX1 (450cc) category, American Joey Savatgy , leads over Honda team-mate Dean Wilson with 97 points over Wilson’s 89. Kawasaki mounted aussie favourite Luke Clout, sits in third, with 80 points and might be able to move forward if Wilson’s injury woes from Perth last weekend holds the Scot back. In the SX2 (250cc) class it is another American, Shane McElrath who is poised for Championship victory with a ten point lead (88 points), over his Honda team-mates, Brodie Connelly (NZ) and Cole Thompson (CAN) with 78 and 74 points respectively.

AUSX OPEN In SX3 (250cc), the future of Supercross shines with promising young riders aged between 15 and 18 years old. Seth Burchall, Koby Hantis and Jake Cannon, currently lead the charge, all hoping to prove their capabilities and earn a professional, factory backed ride, for 2025.

King Kellett defends FIM Sand Races World Cup title Todd Kellett stormed to his second consecutive FIM Sand Races World Cup title in the Moto class when he claimed victory on day two of the Monte Gordo Sand Race – the fifth and penultimate round of the series – to secure the weekend’s overall win, maintain his maximum points score and move into to an unassailable lead. Kellett secured the title last year in Portugal’s famous Algarve sand and made sure of a repeat performance today after his conclusive win on Saturday. Already leading Valentin Madoulaud by over five seconds following the opening lap, the 27-year-old British star quickly asserted full control of the hour-long race.

Todd Kellett – Image by Frederik Herregods Photography By the halfway mark he had stretched his advantage over Madoulaud out to 32 seconds and by the time Jérémy Hauquier moved into second he was out of reach, eventually winning by 51 seconds with an impressive total of twenty laps. Todd Kellett “It’s absolutely awesome to wrap it up today,” said Kellett. “It feels like it’s been a long time coming with the opening round back in February making it a long season so to get the victory is incredible, especially to do it again in Portugal.” With second added to his third-placed finish on Saturday, Hauquier is virtually assured of second in the series and Madoulaud’s two-three finishes make him a solid contender for third at the end of the year alongside Maxime Sot – Fantic who was fourth. Winner of Monte Gordo last season, former MXGP racer Yentel Martens was running fourth in the early stages, but slipped back to fifth at the finish on twenty laps as he continued his comeback from injury. Already confirmed as Moto Women class champion at the previous round in Italy, Amandine Verstappen repeated her win from day one while unbeaten French sensation Paolo Maschio also doubled up to top Moto Junior 2, a result that guarantees him the title with next weekend’s deciding round – the Ronde des Sables Hossegor Capbreton – still to run.

Amandine Verstappen – Image by Frederik Herregods Photography After finishing second last year, 25-year-old Verstappen has dominated all season and the Belgian remains unbeaten in 2024 with her latest victory in Portugal following wins at the Enduropale du Touquet Pas-de-Calais, the Enduro del Verano, the Ronde des Sables de Loon-Plage and the Bibione Sand Storm. In a reversal of day one’s top-two, Dominique Mieuzet led home Moto Veteran series pace-setter Gregory Deleu – Fantic who retains his points lead and Felix Faure raced to his second win of the weekend in the Moto Vintage class to make sure of the title after Sebastien Antony once again failed to finish. Completing his double win in Moto Junior 1, series leader Matheo Gerat finished twenty-one seconds in front of Maxime Miet with both riders one lap ahead of Moto Junior 1 Women class winner Ema Satabin. Mattia Guadagnini joins Seewer on Desmo450 MX for MXGP Mattia Guadagnini will be Jeremy Seewer’s teammate on the official Desmo450 MX that the Borgo Panigale manufacturer will field in the 2025 MXGP World Championship in collaboration with the Maddii Racing team.

Spanish motorcycle magazine Motociclismo.es has an article about possible personnel changes in MotoGP for 2007. The main rumor concerns Andrea Dovizioso, who is said to want to move up the MotoGP class, unless Honda vastly improve their 250 for next season. Dovizioso's name is being linked with the LCR Honda currently being ridden by the young Australian Casey Stoner. LCR team boss Lucio Cecchinello is said not to be happy with Stoner's performance in the championship, but this could also be related to persistent rumors of Stoner moving to either Ducati or Yamaha.

22/8/2006

As we rapidly approach the high water mark of speculation about 2007, more rumors emerged about Casey Stoner. The Italian website Motograndprix.it is reporting that the young Aussie may be out of MotoGP next year. After being turned down by Yamaha, Stoner reportedly approached his current team boss Lucio Cecchinello with a demand for $2.5 million to resign with LCR for 2007, a demand which Cecchinello was unable, or unwilling, to meet. Similar approaches to Ducati have so far met with little reward, as the factory from Bologna are currently engaged in negotiations with Loris Capirossi for 2007, who is seeking a $4 million deal, similar to Sete Gibernau's contract, leaving Ducati with room for maneuver with Stoner. This leaves Stoner without a ride for 2007 so far, and, by overplaying his hand so strongly in negotiatons, with little chance of a ride, unless he were to move to Kawasaki to replace Shinya Nakano, who is rumored to be moving to Konica Minolta Honda for next season. Stoner would have to moderate his wage demands a good deal to make that happen, though. Stoner has shown huge promise during the early part of the season, taking a shock pole at the Qatar GP, followed by a 2nd place in Turkey. Since then, however, he has developed a fatal attraction to the gravel traps, falling in three races after making rider mistakes when being pushed hard (especially by his arch-rival Dani Pedrosa), and not starting in Germany after coming off during practice. In addition, Stoner has been very outspoken in his views on just about everything, including openly criticizing the bike and the team when he felt things weren't working properly. No one doubts Stoner's talent, but hiring the young Aussie is a high-risk strategy, and one which teams are seemingly loathe to take.

24/8/2006

Well, where just a few days ago, it seemed certain that Marco Melandri would be going to the factory Ducati team, now it looks increasingly like last year's title runner up will be staying with Gresini on a Honda next year. Both MotoGrandPrix.it and Crash.net are reporting that Fausto Gresini has matched Ducati's reported offer of € 3 million for next season, an offer which would also include strong factory support from Honda, and, surprisingly, Bridgestone tires. The mystery for all this is where the money is supposed to be coming from, as Altadis, the brand behind Fortuna, are leaving MotoGP, taking their large sponsorship budget with them. If the reports are true, it would put a halt to an expected round of rider shuffles, with Sete Gibernau, the man Melandri was expected to replace at Ducati, staying put and not going to Kawasaki, where he was set to take Shinya Nakano's place. This would then also leave Nakano the option at staying at Kawasaki, and leave the question of who Melandri's team mate will be open. Alex de Angelis is one name being bandied about, as is Carlos Checa, although Checa, who has been very impressive this year on the inferior Dunlop tires, has also been linked with Pramac d'Antin Ducati, who are expected to get Bridgestones for next year.

6/10/2006

Well, contrary to what I wrote in a previous post, Casey Stoner is almost certain to stay in MotoGP after all. He will be losing his ride with LCR Honda at the end of this season, but he has announced to the press that he will be riding a Ducati in 2007. No details of the contract were released, but with Loris Capirossi taking a nice pay rise, it is unlikely that Stoner will be getting the $3 million he was reportedly demanding. However, the upside for Stoner is that he will be on a factory machine, and not have to wait in line for parts from HRC with the other satellite Honda riders. Stoner's seat at LCR will be taken by Carlos Checa, who has been revitalized this season, after a run of decent, but not brilliant seasons at Yamaha and Ducati. Checa has been the only Dunlop rider to be anywhere near the action this season, and his performance has paid off.

17/10/2006

After several months of speculation, and an unofficial announcement at Estoril, Ducati Corse has finally officially announced that Casey Stoner has signed to ride for them in 2007. Few details of his contract were made public, other than Stoner will be riding the GP7 Desmosedici next year, with an option to ride in 2008. Claudio Domenicali, Managing Director of Ducati Corse, is quoted as saying of Stoner: "With his enthusiasm and aggressive riding style, Casey is sure to give our fans some extraordinary emotions." So far this year, those emotions have been elation as Stoner runs at the front, followed by despair as he loses the front end and crashes out. What is certain is that Stoner should be very spectacular to watch on the Ducati, and his riding style should match Loris Capirossi's, who is the Ducati team's main rider. This move now leaves Sete Gibernau without a ride in 2007, although he is reputedly in talks with Kawasaki. The irony of Stoner's signing will not be lost on Sete, who will be unable to race at Valencia as a result of injuries he suffered after crashing out when Casey Stoner fell in front of him, leaving him with nowhere to go but over and out.

Unleash Your Style with Custom MX Graphics Kits in Australia

When it comes to motocross, it’s not just about the power and performance of your bike; it's also about standing out on the track. Whether you're a weekend warrior or a competitive racer, your bike's appearance can say a lot about your personality and passion for the sport. That's where custom MX graphics kits come into play. At Vizion Concepts, we specialize in transforming your bike with high-quality, durable graphics that not only look great but also protect your ride. From jersey prints to complete MX plastics kits, we offer everything you need to make a statement on the track.

Why Custom Graphics Kits Matter

In the world of motocross, first impressions are made before the race even begins. Your bike’s graphics reflect your style and dedication to the sport. Custom graphics kits in Australia allow riders to personalize their bikes with unique designs, colors, and logos. These kits are more than just stickers; they are a way to express individuality and showcase sponsors.

But aesthetics isn’t the only reason to invest in custom graphics. They also serve a practical purpose. High-quality MX graphics kits protect the underlying plastics of your bike from scratches, dings, and other forms of wear and tear. This added layer of protection is essential for maintaining the bike's resale value and ensuring it stays in top condition.

A Wide Range of Options

At Vizion Concepts, we understand that every rider is unique. That’s why we offer a wide range of graphics kits for various motocross bike brands, including Yamaha, Suzuki, KTM, Kawasaki, GasGas, Honda, Husqvarna, Stark Varg, and Triumph. Our extensive selection ensures that no matter what bike you ride, you can find the perfect kit to suit your style.

Each kit is designed with precision, using high-quality materials that withstand the rigors of motocross racing. Whether you prefer bold, eye-catching designs or something more understated, we have options to meet your needs. Our team of designers works closely with you to create a custom look that matches your vision, ensuring you stand out both on and off the track.

MX Graphics Kits: More Than Just Looks

While the primary focus of MX graphics kits may be on aesthetics, they also play a crucial role in functionality. Dirt bike graphics kits are specifically designed to fit the contours of your bike’s plastics perfectly. This precision fitment ensures that the graphics adhere smoothly, without any bubbling or peeling, even under the harsh conditions of motocross racing.

In addition to aesthetics and protection, custom graphics kits can also provide vital information. For professional riders, including sponsor logos and rider numbers is a necessity. Our custom kits can incorporate all these elements seamlessly, ensuring that your bike not only looks good but also meets all the necessary requirements for competitive racing.

Jersey Prints: A Personalized Touch

Beyond the bike, riders can further personalize their gear with custom jersey prints. At Vizion Concepts, we offer high-quality printing services that allow you to add your name, number, and other custom graphics to your motocross jersey. This not only enhances your professional appearance but also makes it easier for fans and photographers to identify you on the track.

Our jersey prints are made using durable, high-quality inks that withstand repeated washes and the rough conditions of motocross racing. Whether you want a bold, standout design or something more subtle, our team can help you create the perfect look to complement your bike's graphics.

MX Plastics Kits: The Complete Package

For those looking to completely transform their bike, MX plastics kits offer the ultimate customization. These kits include replacement plastics for various parts of the bike, allowing you to change the color and style entirely. At Vizion Concepts, we offer plastics kits for all major motocross brands, including Yamaha, Suzuki, KTM, Kawasaki, GasGas, Honda, Husqvarna, Stark Varg, and Triumph.

MX plastics kits are an excellent way to give your bike a fresh look, especially if your current plastics are worn or damaged. By pairing new plastics with custom graphics, you can create a cohesive, polished look that will make your bike stand out from the competition.
