Vortex - Stories directly from the cockpit
Before we start, the title: First of all, I hope I spelled everything right. Secoundly, I just didn't found a fitting name :P
Thirdly, a Vortex is a aerodynamical effect used for example in Formula 1. It's a stream of air directly under the bottomplate or something.
During this Fanfiction I'll write normally short stories about a character from the respective era of AG racing.
I also plan to create some "PR stuff", mainly starter lists for the current season, so you know who'll appear :).
For special events (normally races) I'll try to
write longer stories, maybe without a "man character"
And if you have ideas, detect a spelling mistake or want to left some critic, let me know ;)
So, let's begin:
Preperations for the AGR (2037)
Starting up a racing series
17th March 2037
Anti-Gravity vehicles weren't widespreat as the Anti-Gravity godfathers Pierre Belmondo, Jonny Bovier and Chuck Hoffman announced the AGR. Standing for ",Anti-Gravity' Racing_" not only the stylisation gave it something that made the spelling sounding fresh.
Originally it was a coalition between AG research teams, rich people and racing driver who wanted to be part of a new generation...
"We're all happy to announce a new kind of motorsport, the AGR!" said a loud voice. It was Chuck Hoffman speaking through a microphone. The crowd was facinated. Anti-Gravity was something believed to be impossible, until Pierre Belmondo, standing next to Hoffman, absolved his historic flight.
"This new kind of racing competition will allow Anti-Gravity research bodies from all over the world, regardless their origin, to evolve Anti-Gravity technology, while winning the price money that is necessary to keep labours running and still entertain the crowd." This discribed the series very well, but it wasn't said the nice way. Jonny Bovier was already doing his typical facepalm pose, but the crowd saved his forehead. They were laughing.
"Many current Formula 1 Teams showed interest in the new Anti-Gravity technology, the AGR will give everyone a good proving ground. I think the most of you know it alredy, that blueprints for a working AG generator are open scource." continued Belmondo.
The actual presentation was much shorter than originally belived.
Everything ready for 2038?
30th July 2037
"Did you already heared that Red Bull Racing and Ferrari already established an Anti-Gravity research division?" asked Jonny Bovier his friend Pierre Belmondo while drinking a glass wine.
"Really?" Belmondo replyed while filling up his glass.
"Do you think I'm kidding you? And stop drinking so much!"
"I'm not drinking much, you're drinking less" both laughted.
"Actually I don't drink alcohol, but you frenchmen have the know-how" Bovier sorted out some pices of paper.
"Did you never tried Italian wine?" but Bovier didn't reacted and just showed him his sheets.
"This are already confirmed teams, the starting money is 400.000€ by the way."
"FEAGR, that's us! Wait, you want to fly too?" Belmondo was just thinking about Boviers age.
"Why not? Thats the biggest dream I ever had. And what does 'too' mean?" He already knew what Belmondos answear will be.
"Ok, I'll race to."
This are the first two "chapters", because it's the pilot I decided to release two of them.
And the next one will feature new unknown pilots.

FEISAR announces their AG racing plans
The recently founded FEISAR team just tweeted a photo of their new craft.
They also announced their single pilot, the 21 years old Brit Paul Jackson.

Wheels or Turbines?
The AAA releases their plans to support Anti-Gravity racing. A new racing department will be founded, the AAGF, the American Anti-Gravity Federation. The IndyCar Series would be upgraded to the IndyCraft Series and would be the American counterpart of the AGR-scene from Europe.

FEAGR and Anti-Gravity Systems
The Foundation for European Anti-Gravity Research entered the AGR together with their sub-company AG Systems.
"There will be two seperate teams, bjt we'll work together. There is also a partnership with FEISAR possible." -Jeromê MichalÃ*, President of FEAGR
-Press release from 5th October 2037
There is a difference
Unlike the AAA, the FIA rejected plans for a Anti-Gravity Racing Federation or an AG Racing Championship.
As FIA-President Dietrich Meizer said, AG Racing is a new kind of racing and that the FIA is only interested in motor racing.

The new track of FEISAR
Hello guys,
looks like the European Federation has enough money so that FEISAR just finished the construction of their test track.
I already hear some of you moaning that there is hunger in the world and so on...
Anyway, this is also a prototype for the upcoming generation of circuits. It has some tight turns and not less than two ramps!
I really look forward to this, what do you think? You know, wrght it intothe comments

The start of a long rivalry
Note: If you find spelling or grammar mistakes, please let me know.
Anastasia's and Kel's Story
"Welcome at Marussia" said a woman petending to be friendly. "You three are candidates for piloting our secound ship during the first Anti-Gravity Racing-Season. You will assist our main pilot, who also watches you during your test programm." The three pilots were the best what Marussia could get for their AG racing division. Sierra Miklosk, a guy from Finland, athletic and charismatic, a womenizer. Floid Svodovic, a bosnian Serbian, good with weapons, but this was no advantage, scince no AGR ship ever had a weapon system. He flew aggressive, that made him self-destructive. And at last, Anastasia Cherovoski, nothing is known about her, only her height.
"Ah, hey Kel, we got the profiles of the three candidates." A guy gave Kel a clipboard. "Strange individuals nowdays" was his answear, but continued "So what in particular I have to do?"
"You watch the candidates during their test program and judge who is best suited for the upcoming AGR" the man answeared.
"Sounds easy, so...were are the candidates?"
"They're gatting ready for their 'first impression fly', we thought it would be the best if you don't know the pilots personal, we're only interested in talent."
The 'first impression fly' was the easiest test, but it still counted to the final result.
Each pilot was allowed to choose a number, that number was written largely on the ship, Solaar knew the numbers, but not the pilots.
Myklosk choosed the number 7. He was confident, maybe to confident as he lost the control, but fortunately nothing broke and nobody was hurt. Svodovic got the number 01, he was a bit unconfident at first, but managed to control the craft like a professional. Anastasia decided for the number 4, she was unconfident too, but also managed to fly the craft without destroying something.
"Ok, the candidate with the 01, good one, maybe shy with the craft at first, but it was his first flight.
The #4, the same as the first one. And the 7, confident, to confident." Noted Solaar.
