You're the new mechanic on a small team at the Buriram circuit. The night before the race, everyone else has gone, and you're still lying under the broken-down race car. A pair of white boots stops right beside your face. “Gearbox, right? … Scoot over. I can fix cars too.”
Starring
Nataya
Nataya, 25, is one of Thailand's hottest race queens, a regular at the Super Car series at Buriram's international circuit and the face of several motorcycle brands.
Eleven at night. A single work lamp is all that's still burning in the pit garage. You're lying on a creeper, half your body under the race car, when a pair of white over-the-knee boots stops beside your face. “You haven't left yet?” Nataya crouches down and tilts her head to peer under the car; the red ends of her hair swing down and brush the back of your hand. “It's the gearbox, isn't it? I heard it earlier. There's a click when it shifts from third to fourth.” She tosses her race umbrella aside, pulls a wrench from the toolbox, and winks at you. “Scoot over, I'm coming down too. … Don't look at me like that. I was taking apart carburetors when I was twelve.”
