Lancia Rally 037 Gruppo B, 1983. This is the actual Martini Racing 037 similar to the car that won the 1983 WRC, the last rear-wheel-drive car to do so. The 037 refers to Abarth's project code: SE037. It was developed by Lancia's rally team in collaboration with Pininfarina, Abarth, Dallara and project manager, engineer Sergio Limone. It was based on the Pininfarina-designed Lancia Montecarlo though seared only the centre-section and some body panels. The Montecarlo's transverse mid/rear engine was turned through 90º and moved forward for better weight distribution and to allow more flexibility with the rear suspension design. It was powered by a supercharged version of the Fiat's 2.0 litre DOHC 16 valve that produced 265hp

wild wild WILD to me that at the current moment only FOUR women on the current grid qualify to be in F1 Academy next year

Everyone else either fits the age limit, two year limit, or will get automatic promotion to FRECA

Like?? That’s insane! Next year eleven new female drivers will try their hand in an F4-level series. Hopefully at least one of them will be straight from their karting program!

I have a lot of qualms about F1 Academy and how it’s run but you cannot deny the impact of bringing eleven new young female drivers into this sport would bring!

And even the fourteen women leaving F1A are not leaving motorsport! Even if they don’t get the spot in the next level they are STILL going to continue doing professional motorsport whether that be stock or rally or other open wheel or wec for what is hopefully the rest of their lives!

I have a lot of problems with F1A and it is NOT a perfect series. But you cannot deny that it has succeeded in bringing more women and made it easier for women and girls to get into motorsport

Motorsport-Focused Heartbeat Prompts

Special thanks to @fredwardart for helping me with some prompt ideas and to @wolfsbanesbite for making me realize I could try and make a list like this for motorsport fandoms to help create more heart-related stories. ❤

Not all of these are racing-related because I tried to add some prompts that can be good for when they aren’t racing.

Dear MotoGP fans, feel free to change ‘driver’ to ‘rider’ and use these prompts. Also, feel free to make any changes (like wording, pet name used, changing driver to trainer, things like that) if you need it for the prompt to fit the story better/be more in character.

And if you write for any of these prompts, please don’t forget to tag me/send me the story because I’d love to read it. 😊 (But you don’t have to if you don’t want to. It’s optional.)

General heart-related dialogue prompts

1. “When I grabbed your hand on the podium I could feel how your pulse was racing.”

2. “Your fireproofs are so tight I can see your heart beating in your chest.”

3. “Checking your pulse won’t make it go any slower. Breathe, relax, and get into the zone.”

4. “Take a deep breath and focus. Your heart is more responsive than you think.”

5. “I’ve never met a driver with a slower/quicker heart rate than you.”

6. “Why do you keep checking my pulse?” “Because… Because of that crash. I just need to remind myself that you’re alive.”

7. “Does my heart feel weird to you? It keeps doing this after races.”

8. “I was feeling so shit I just wanted to bring the car home and then curl up on your chest and fall asleep to your heartbeat and breathing.”

9. “Can you check my pulse? I… I don’t feel too good.”

10. “Keep that pulse going for me. The medical car is almost here. Stay with me.”

Cardiophile dialogue prompts

11. “I found home in your heartbeat.”

12. “Your heartbeat is my favorite pre-race song.”

13. “I’ve recorded my heartbeat for you to help you fall asleep when we’re apart.”

14.  “When you come over to workout, bring your stethoscope, too. I want to try something.”

15. “Why is there a stethoscope in your wardrobe/suitcase?”

16. “I just want you to lay on my chest and talk about my heart.”

17. “My love, you look pale. Come sit down, I’ll take your blood pressure and listen to your heart.”

18. “I want you to make my heart race like it does when we’re racing each other on track.”

19. “I can feel your heart racing. You have no secrets anymore…”

20. “Put your hand around my neck and listen to my heart react to it.”

General heart-related scene prompts

21. Driver A being pale and feeling unwell after a session so Driver B checks their pulse, gets them some water, and takes care of them until they get better.

22. Driver A unintentionally feeling Driver A’s pulse/heartbeat.

23. Driver A feeling Driver B’s pulse/heartbeat on purpose.

24. Driver A experiencing a sudden blood pressure drop resulting in collapsing after a particularly hard race.

25. Driver A getting a panic attack after a crash and not being able to calm down because of their heart racing too fast and hard.

26. Rookie driver A being anxious before their first race so experienced Driver B teaches them a breathing technique that can ease the anxiety and slow down their heartbeat.

27. A heart rate monitor in a glove is less of a comfort when it detects a driver’s heart rate slowing after a crash. Especially when it starts to slow down too much.

Cardiophile scene prompts

28. Driver A and Driver B are training together, making a competition out of it to see who can reach a higher heart rate (and then who can get back to their resting heart rate quicker).

29. Driver A is waiting for the doctor to arrive and do the pre-season medical check-up but it’s Driver B who steps in after the door opens, in a white coat and with a stethoscope around their neck.

30. Driver A’s love for cardio is slowly starting to be picked up by Driver B.

31. It’s a well-known fact in the paddock that driver A is particularly good at being in touch with their heart. Driver B comes to them for advice on how to get to know theirs better.

32. Driver A catches a glimpse of Driver B’s carotid pulse being visibly fast while they’re chatting. “Is your heart always this fast or is it because of me?”

33. Driver A struggles to act normal during the pre-season medical check-up because of all the attention put on their heart. 

34. ‘The problem with a race suit is that there are too many layers between your hand and your heart.’ – Driver A runs to their driver’s room, unzipping their race suit and pulling up the fireproofs to be able to press their hand on their heart and find the comfort they need.

35. Driver A gets gifted a stethoscope by a fan, driver B notices it and insists on trying it.

36. Driver A surprises Driver B with a stethoscope after their first race/championship win because they knew they’d been dreaming of getting one but didn’t feel like they deserved it.
