Perhaps you don’t remember me. We met on a summer island in the mountains.
You were wearing a white silk dress, silver colour heels and rally sparco tarmacs. That’s when I got bewitched by a fox. It’s been seven years since then. And I still don’t think I’ve beaten the downhill you showed me that day. I told you that day. We will meet again.
එදින මම හදවත උගුල්ලා කඳුකරයේ එක්තරා ස්ථානයක වළ දැමුවෙමි. අනතුරුව මිය ගියෙමි. පසුදින අලුත් මිනිසෙක් වශයෙන් නැවත උපත ලැබුවෙමි.
Since then, my life’s completely changed. I can’t imagine a life without cars and mountains in it.
Who am I? I am a driver. I always was and always will be. Ever since we discovered the pleasure in mountain downhill racing we never stopped. In 2019 we’ve founded our own downhill team. We would push the cars to their limit over and over. We have modified, improved and mastered them. We battled the best of the cars and drivers, mountain’s mystical rain, deadly fog and finally ourselves.
I was not born a driver. You don’t know anything when you are born. We learn everything by time. And still has a long way to go. You and me both; we are all students of driving.
Learning to drive on narrow mountain downhill passes made me a different man. And after we formed the team it became wonderful. Once you become one of them ordinary life is never exciting enough. And once you have got the hook it’s hard to shake off. I did not know it, but for me, driving would dominate the rest of my life. And something that would make me happy.
The time has passed. Past few years have been great. The races were exciting and rich in content. Even if you lose you were satisfied with what you experienced and leaned, as well as the quality; which cannot be shown by just the time. You want to participate in order to see it. You can’t repeat it, even if you are asked! Such moments only come once. After that what you should do is to keep improving yourself and your theory. Because improvements begins with a realization of that.
The last time you saw us was two years ago. Now that tired tatty interior has been exchanged with the new. Her scratched body panels are now gone and replaced with solid steel. Her motor has been tweaked and tuned and looking every bit of full blown performance engine. She is in short back to the car I wanted.
Now the time has come. A new quest will be forming. A new expedition will be forthcoming. I’m looking for a worthy adversary.
“I realize now that my task is not over, and so I will be returning to the mountains. I know that we shall meet again. Perhaps when we do I will be able to tell you what is more important: satisfying one thousand desires or conquering just one. I hope I will find the answer”.
There are no plans at present to go any further beyond that. Of the members of the Ghost Cats team and Phase 2, I can only say now they are at their highest and who is, in my opinion, nothing less than the finest drivers in mountain. And of the events that occurred in the mountains between early 2018 and late 2021 currently this stands as the only written record; and also about what’s forthcoming.
Welcome to my my blog; Eurisko Racing.
Eurisko Racing is an ode to the past and a glimpse into the future.
I only have one year.
2026
This is the year I die.
This is the year I live.
