Another time had passed since Diana and Sarah had little Alice, after 6 months another girl was born in the residence of the Cavendish family, this time it was Jules Du Nord Arnoux Brabham on September 22, 1649, to the happiness of Jill and Claire who finally had their first daughter, which gave a good job to be recognized the maternity of the two mothers, but with a little help from two witches that Campbell had contact with, they got the necessary documentation for little Jules to be recognized as the daughter of the Brabham Arnoux couple.
Jules gave a lot of work to be born, since the pregnant woman of the time had been Claire, who took almost 8 hours in labor, suffering with constant pain to get her daughter out of it, but after a painful birth was just joy, little Alice would have a friend who would grow up next to her and it was Jules who was born 6 months after her.
Alice and Jules learned things until very quickly, even more with all the love and affection that was around them and the attention that mothers gave to teach them the basics.
The Broom Racing Association was finally created and so control over the broom racing leagues was in the hands of Harriet and Freya, as well as the World Broom Racing Championship. The two already left the tracks ready and following the regulation correctly, with all the safety rules they could idealize to make the sport safer, since the Gran Prix was something common in broom races to die during the races.
The last year of Gran Prix had been marked by parties and farewell to that tournament and the season of 1649 had as the biggest winner of races being Sarah Campbell who won all six races of that season, showing that she had enough talent to be a future heavyweight champion.
The year 1650 arrives and with the passing of the months, the day that would be the first race of the World Broom Racing Championship was about to arrive. Many of the girls racing in the Gran Prix, they received very fat contracts to race in the WBRC what they accepted at the time, even more because it was a safer championship.
July 3, 1650, The long-awaited day arrives, after a year of organization the first race of the World Broom Racing Championship was about to begin, at the Whittlebury circuit, it was a perfect day for everything to be done, the weather was sunny, it was 22 degrees, without any chance of rain.
The bleachers were all packed, the audience was 90 thousand people who came from all over Europe to see that event, that audience was a little less than in the final of the Gran Prix in France, but it was still what was expected, there were so many people in the bleachers and around the track that seemed more like a second barrier.
The Whittlebury circuit was 16km long, with 22 turns, being more focused on high speed, with some barriers that were wooden walls or else piles of hay in the surroundings of the circuit, besides the track being a little lower in relation to the ground so that it does not hit the spectators, the ground was dirt, with a start that had a line of bricks.
The day before had been held the classification and the first time Sarah manages to get along and get the pole position, another big surprise was Ryouko who was called to run at Besen Union, she got a second position and it would be a big challenge ahead for Campbell win, Claire who was competing in the same team that the English would start in third position and thus closing the front row.
Soon the Whittlebury track starts to be shown in all the crystal balls around the world for witches who wanted to watch that event, besides the public also see in the huge wooden plate that served as a screen, showing the surroundings of the track with comments by Harriet and Freya.
- Ladies and gentlemen! Witches and magical creatures! And here we are! To the first and inaugural World Broom Racing Championship race! Here are gathered the biggest and most talented witches who drive broomsticks! Witches who will fight for the highest place on the podium, here and now! On the challenging twenty-two corners of the old Whittlebury circuit that has been reworked and stretched to receive the world's fastest broomsticks!
Says Harriet.
- Now let's move the grid! With the incredible pole position set by Sarah Campbell! An Englishwoman with 17 years and competing for Scuderia Carlucci! She was half a second faster than Ryouko Kagari from Besen Union! An Oriental with British citizenship! These two did well in the standings, now take a look at the fastest lap they both did!
Says Freya.
Soon it is shown in all the crystal balls and also wooden screens around both witches, showing the time difference between them, Sarah was very aggressive and attacked the curves mercilessly, sometimes even correcting the slips of the broom, besides the incredible speed that reached the straights. Ryouko had a soft and subtle touch, but he could go as fast as Sarah, even overcoming it in some sectors. After being shown the difference of the turns that classified the two is soon shown the starting grid with the 21 participants lined up, were each in a row of three brooms.
- Well done! The race will soon start and now we'll show how the competitors ranked!
Says Harriet.
Soon the entire ranking order of the grid is shown, with images of each of the runners and their respective placements in the race. Sarah chose the number 7 as official, Ryouko went with the number 1 and Claire with the number 28. The sequence of the grid going by the numbers of the runners was 7/1/28/99/0/12/23/76/11/2/63/41/67/77/90/4/9/66/31/55, as soon as it was shown the placement of each of the competitors was given the signal for the presentation lap to begin.
- And now here we go with the presentation lap, the witches are giving that hot one before they start to go with everything and drop for the final race.
Says Harriet.
After this lap of presentation, they line up on the grid, the lights come on and soon the start. It would be 56 laps with 896 km of total length of the race. Sarah is the one who has the best start among the first three and with this she will soon start to appear in front.
- And the lights go out and away we go! Sarah Campbell is already leaving!
Says Harriet.
Lap 1 of 56, Sarah only goes away in that lap, showing the superiority in relation to the other runners, taking more than half a second only in that first lap in relation to Ryouko. Which had difficulties in holding Claire who attacked soon in the first corner passing the Japanese and soon after Kagari ends up taking advantage of a higher speed course to close Arnoux in a corner that required a more aggressive braking.
- Sarah Campbell just left! How incredible! She really showed that she is dominant in both the Gran Prix and the WBRC, she is coming to stay!
Says Harriet.
- And Claire Arnoux is giving a bad moment to Ryouko Kagari, it seems that we will have a more intense battle for the second position than the first.
Says Freya.
In the stands, Diana was watching the race and cheering for Sarah, as well as little Alice who kept saying "Mama Sarah" cheering for her mother and Jill who was with little Jules cheering for Claire.
- My Sarah will win!
Says Diana.
- I even wanted Claire to take the lead, but really has no competition for Sarah, apparently I'll cheer her to beat Ryouko ... Go Claire!
Says Jill.
Lap 2 of 56, Little by little Claire gave the change over Ryouko, giving risky overtaking, but at the same time Kagari defended herself very well and the screen was showing that battle very well. As another runner was approaching and was Clara Von Richtoffen who was still only 2 seconds behind the two.
Lap 4 of 56, after Ryouko and Claire were struggling so much between them the two ended up being surpassed by Clara in a straight which Von Richtoffen passed through the middle of the two and ended up making the whole audience jump with emotion with the risky overtaking of Germanic.
- Woah! What an incredible surpassing of Clara! No wonder she dominated the Gran Prix until the arrival of Sarah Campbell!
Says Harriet.
- Damn! That sauerkraut passed Claire!
Says Jill.
Lap 5 of 56, after being surpassed beautifully by Clara, the two try their best to pass Von Richtoffen, only she was going in a perfect race line, even more that she also didn't defend positions like Claire and Ryouko, who didn't want to leave the other behind.
Lap 7 of 56, Clara was catching fire, in that same lap she managed to take the fastest lap of the race reducing the difference from 7.6 seconds to 6.9 seconds in relation to Sarah who was leading the race with comfort. Claire and Ryouko, on the other hand, could not follow the broom of Von Richtoffen.
- Woah! How incredible! I never imagined that Clara Von Richtoffen would shoot so much!
Says Harriet.
Lap 8 of 56, Claire decides to tighten up a little more the rhythm and soon ends up staying behind Ryouko thinking that the Japanese was holding her back. Arnoux overtakes her in the straight and without wasting time Kagari tries to pass back, but smoke starts to come out of her broom while she was behind the French and with that she had to abandon the race right in the beginning.
- And Ryouko Kagari had to leave in the first few laps! What a shame!
Says Harriet.
Lap 10 of 56, had already passed ten laps since the beginning of the race, Sarah led with 6.6 seconds in relation to Clara Von Richtoffen, who sometimes got a better or worse lap in relation to Campbell. Claire was in a comfortable third position and had the whole track free to be able to approach and compete for the second position, since she was 7 seconds behind the German, who made a surprising race.
- This sauerkraut is even doing well, so it can reach Sarah.
Says Jill.
- Don't say something like that! My Sarah will win! I believe her.
Says Diana.
Back 17 of 56, Clara was doing miracles by taking faster lap, behind back, she was with the difference in relation to Sarah much smaller, little by little she had great chances to reach the lead of the race. Claire kept a comfortable third position and the difference in relation to Von Richtoffen had increased to 13 seconds.
- Woah! What an amazing race by Clara Von Richtoffen! She is only 3 seconds of Sarah Campbell! Continuing in this rhyme she can win the first WBRC race!
Says Harriet.
- Go Sarah! Don't let this girl pass you by!
Says Diana.
Lap 20 of 56, The difference between Clara and Sarah was only a single second, the two were there starting to dispute for the lead of the race and Campbell was quiet, even with Von Richtoffen in her glue.
- Now Sarah Campbell is with Clara Von Richitoffen right behind her! The German woman managed to get close, but it's one thing to get and another thing to pass the English woman!
Says Harriet.
Lap 21 of 56, Clara tries some maneuvers to overcome Sarah, but Campbell defends very well closing Von Richtoffen all the time, at every chance that the Germanic had to overcome the English defended in a way that even seemed impossible. The public even jumped with emotion when seeing those spectacular defenses of the girl with green hair.
- Go Sarah! Don't let that one pass you by!
Says Diana.
- Go mama!
Says Alice.
Lap 28 of 56, Sarah was defending Clara in a spectacular way, never seen before, managing for seven laps in a row to hold Von Richtoffen who was trying in any way to overcome Campbell, but she did not let in any way. The public that was watching was going to the delirium, even more the English who were euphoric with such ability that the English had to defend the first position. Until the girl with green hair sketches a smile and as soon as the German girl tries to overtake almost putting her broom next to the number 7, but Sarah ends up speeding up a little stronger and with that she starts to pass in each curve at an impressive speed.
- (heh, I was just bluffing, I knew she would come with everything over me, I just followed the strategy of saving the broom to half the race and then leave).
- Woah! Sarah out of nowhere took a higher speed with her broom!
Says Harriet.
Lap 30 of 56, in less than two laps Sarah was so fast that she took the track record in two laps only, at each lap she took more than a second in relation to Clara who was going with everything, but could not follow Campbell.
- And how incredible! Sarah Campbell broke the track record not once, but twice in a row! She was just bluffing all the time!
Says Harriet.
- Yes! Sarah did it! I knew it!
Says Diana celebrating.
Lap 35 of 56, Sarah was going so fast, she was in a fast lap after fast lap sequence, it was already the seventh lap in a row that she beat the track record, this doing several times in a row, already Clara could not even get near Campbell.
- Woah! That's magnificent! This is only the first race and we are witnessing history here! Sarah Campbell is dominating the race like never before! She has everything to really call herself the first champion in WBRC history!
Says Harriet.
Lap 46 of 56, there were 10 laps to go and Sarah even gave a relief in going faster laps, stopping to break the record when she reached the tenth time in a row, at that point she was already the leader with over 40 seconds ahead of Clara who had a problem coming.
Lap 50 of 56, This problem was Claire Arnoux who was taking as much as possible out of the broom, with laps after laps that she was faster than Clara, the biggest proof of this was that the difference between the two was only 3 seconds, it was only a matter of time before the French started to battle for the second position.
- Claire Arnoux is surprising! The Frenchwoman is about to bring the first race with a double from Scuderia Carlucci, but how incredible!
Says Harriet.
- Getting to Clara is one thing, getting through is another, even more so that Clara had to try her best to overcome Sarah Campbell without success!
Says Freya.
Lap 52 of 56, This did not intimidate Claire at all who used a witch who was taking her back to get her vacuum and thus have enough speed to overcome Clara by leaving her without space as she approached the curve, which made the few French spectators jump with joy.
- Woah! Woah! What an incredible overtaking by Claire Arnoux!
Says Harriet.
- Claire Arnoux was only saving the best for the end but how incredible!
Says Freya.
Lap 56 of 56, gave no other, Sarah crosses the finish line in first position, Claire was second by making a double for Scuderia Carlucci and who completed the podium was Clara Von Richtoffen who made an excellent race to the point of challenging the lead of Sarah.
- And Sarah Campbell! Sarah Campbell! The British woman at just 17 becomes the first winner in the history of the World Broom Racing Championship! In her first race, she takes this spectacular victory! Showing what she came for! This is magnificent and splendid!
Says Harriet.
After the end of the race, the runners go to a place where they would climb the podium and soon is delivered the trophies of the first three placed, in the celebration of the podium is given a bottle of milk, Sarah takes a little and then gets wet with the other two runners making a dispute between them to get wet with milk. What makes all the public laugh with that situation.
After the podium ceremony the race event ends and soon Sarah meets Diana and is greeted with a hug by her wife who soon after gives her a kiss while Jill held both Jules and Alice in her arms.
- Sarah! You are very good my love! I knew you would win!
Says Diana.
- Hehe, now it's just to win five more races and I will be the champion, I have to say that this event is incredible ... So far I have enjoyed this first race, if all the others are like this then I will love being a broom runner.
Says Sarah.
- Look Sarah, you gave a spectacle in this race, but do not think it will be an easy championship for you, even more than this year I will do everything so that you do not get this title.
Says Ryouko.
- Why? Will you try to beat me? Then better score more, because counting here you already lost a chance to score.
Says Sarah laughing.
- Oh you'll see, I'm too fast on broomsticks.
Says Ryouko.
Sarah managed to show what came in this first race at the World Broom Racing Championship, with great chances even to become champion if she wins another five races in the year, but this will be a big challenge ahead, since it depends not only on Campbell's ability, but on the whole work of Scuderia Carlucci.
See you, Broom Racers...
