They told me it couldn't be done, and I took that personally.
Short version:
It's a mental block and a difference in experience. Not something physical.
Long version:
It starts with Lightning and Those Guys(tm) in their old cars as we know them. Stuff happens as it does in the movie, up until after Lightning's crash.
They rebuild his car, but it's painfully obvious that at this point, the old cars just can't keep up with the new ones, so he goes away to train and when he comes back it's not to his old car, it's to a new next gen model. The new 95.
It's lighter, faster, stronger, maybe even the same model as the one Storm is driving.
But he still can't catch up.
It's not an issue of the car, it's the drivers. The same thing happened to Cal, to Bobby and Brick and all of the 'old' racers. They have to relearn this new tech, have to unlearn things about their old cars, have to figure out how to use their new cars, while the next gen drivers have been training with this tech since the beginning. They know it better; can utilise it to its fullest.
Lightning realises this in his last race, and when he reaches the pits, he gets out and gets Cruz to drive his car to the finish. Because she's been training next gen drivers and understands the tech. That's how she's able to use the same car to catch Storm.
As for Lightning's old car, I like to think it's displayed in the racing museum, right next to Doc's Hornet, in its original red paint.

I’m on birth control and I skip periods for a few months by skipping over the placebo week and starting a new pack right away and then every once in a while I do a placebo week. But sometimes my body just decides it doesn’t care and it’s gonna menstruate birth control or no birth control. All of this to say I can’t FUCKING SLEEP because of PMS insomnia
So imagine this. You have a university assignment where you have to make a collage of any topic you want. You chose blackstar theater starless of all things cuz you can barely find second hand magazines and newspapers. You show your friends and they are like, "holy sh*t you actually did it. Now I'm going to do the same (with different game of course).
One of your friends ask you more about it and you send them one of their music videos and now that said friend is hooked. Also shout out to the one person in the discord that misread theater starless as theater sussy. Thanks to you I have not stopped smiling since.
Ps. I will post the results after they've been approved by my lect.
I should be asleep but I haven't gone to sleep yet (at all tonight). Because whilst I've been sick, I fucked up my sleep schedule and just kinda have been crashing whenever my body feels tired.
So I'm awake right? And I keep looking over my shoulder because I hear birds but my alarm is not going off. It's still too early for my alarm. And then I remember - real birds exisit.
I really really miss old DeviantArt. I was never old or active enough to know if the website was really a good time™ for all of its artists, but I know it was better before and I miss what it used to be or at least the idea of it.
