In Turkey it was sunny weather and quite warm, as it usually was at this time of the year.However on the outskirts of the city there was a long abandoned airfield, it last saw action during World War 2 but ever since then it had been standing there to rot in the sunshine and heat.
Until the day when Sweeper moved to Turkey, he bought the airfield for cheap and used it as his home.Today he was out in the hangar doing work on his FD, setting it up for the next season in the World Cup races.After all he couldn't afford to lose to Carlos, his arch rival.Though they were rivals they still did hang together as close friends and helped each other out whenever needed.

"Swapping sparkplugs is a pain on the FD; you have swapped them 3 times when the piston guys have done 1 swap. It costs to be efficient with low displacement." Sweeper mumbled to himself.

Sweeper completed swapping the sparkplugs and headed off to the mailbox for any new mail
As he opened the mailbox he pulled out a letter and the newspaper, he looked at the front page of it, he didn't read the local Turkish newspaper, and it was too much hassle to read even though he had learned to speak the language.
However the front cases on today's newspaper was nothing special but the letter caught his attention.
As he walked towards his shack, Sweeper started opening the letter.
As he pulled out the paper on the inside he quickly noticed it was about the World Cup.
Sweeper also noticed there were some extra notes in the envelope.
The letter read:

Dear Sir.

Seeing as the next World Cup event is still a bit off, 8 months from this date, we have a request for you.
A new Project has been launched, Project S which is taking the best drivers in the World Cup to Japan to race on the Touge or mountain passes found there.
We have selected you as a candidate for this Project as well as a few other drivers.
In the envelope you will find more information regarding Project S and the other candidates.
If you are interested in participating, please call the number noted below or send a letter to the address stated below.

Signed, World Cup sponsors.

As Sweeper checked the rest of the notes included he noticed a lot of familiar names on the drivers listed, he also noticed that Carlos was on the list.
As Sweeper got inside he threw the newspaper and the letter on the desk and grabbed the phone.
He dialled a foreign number and waited for an answer.
A guy picked up the phone.

"Hello, I am looking to talk to Carlos, tell him it is Sweeper."

"Carlos doesn't want to talk to ANYONE!" The guy said in a sharp tone.

"He will talk to me, tell him it is me." Sweeper said with a serious tone.

"Are you deaf or something? Carlos doesn't want to speak to anyone, goodbye!" The guy hung up.

Sweeper pulled the phone away from the ear and looked at it.

"That was NOT Carlos, that's for sure." Sweeper put the phone on the desk and went to check on the Calendar to see if he had any free time.

He flipped a few pages and looked over the dates; he had several months open before he had schedules he couldn't move.
Just then his phone was ringing, Sweeper picked it up.

"Sweeper here."

"Hello my friend, it is Carlos, sorry for that idiot earlier" Sweeper could hear Carlos cursing at him in the background, cursing in Spanish.

"Have you received a letter from the World Cup sponsors?"

"Yeah, I was going to ask you about that as well, are you heading out?" Carlos asked.

"I have checked my schedule; I think I am heading over for some fun yes, could prove interesting."

"So am I, I get a chance to test my Skyline before the real deal in the World Cup begins; besides the guys we are facing are amateurs. You crushed their FD kid so badly it wasn't even funny."

"That may be a problem now; I have tutored him a bit around my driving techniques. May prove be a bad choice in the end though."

"But still his car is so low on power, even if he was like you he would still struggle."

"Don't underestimate them, but nevertheless we ain't gunning for them right away."

"Yeah, we got to nail some small timers first; well I am soon ready to go actually. All I need to is to mount the RB26 valve cover; I have done a total revamp of the engine for the mountain passes. Or to be more specific I bought another RB26, so I can swap engines for the type of race."

"Smart tactic there Carlos, there is plenty of time for engine swaps between events, and seeing as the World Cup is such a free game there is no problems at all. I am using the same tactic myself." Sweeper commented enthusiastically

"My thoughts exactly, well I got a few other things to attend to, so unless there is something else in the making I got to head out now."

"No problem at all Carlos, I got a few things to check out myself as well, see you in Japan." Sweeper hung up and dialled the number he was given, it was time to deliver the answer.
