Chapter 346 - Meeting of the Drivers

The following weeks were really full of shows, the President of the Organizing Committee of Lotus City Motor Speedway Championship called for a meeting. Every driver and their managers were required to attend. They should also bring with them their Team's Roster.

J was driven there by Arthur and Daniel using the bulletproofed sedan with Stefan and Felix tailing them with their motorbike. No matter how J pleaded for Jacob to let her use her Sports Car, Jacob still declines her request for the very reason that her Sports Car is not bulletproof. After all, her safety is still his priority.

Inside the conference room of Lotus City Motor Speedway, 36 drivers plus their managers were sitting with the son of President Gibbs in front of them. The rest of their rosters were held in another room. Only the drivers and managers were to attend the meeting.

Among them is J or Black Heiress as the rest of them used to call her. It was quite unusual to see her attend a meeting. And she is not wearing a helmet. She is the only female in the room. She is wearing a plain white shirt, a while straight pants and a pair of black sneakers. Her hair is messy and flipped on the side. Beside her is Buck wearing casual business attire.

"Good afternoon to everyone. I am glad that all of you were able to attend this meeting." The son of President Gibbs is the President of the Organizing Committee of Lotus City Motor Speedway Championship. He is an average looking fair-skinned man in his mid-30's. His name is Mark Gibbs. He preferred to be called Mr. Gibbs.

Everyone straightened their back when they heard Mr. Gibbs speak. Most of them were sitting lazily on their chair.

"As you all know, three months after the Championship, we will be starting with the Qualifying match for next year's Championship. So, that is our agenda today." Mr. Gibbs continued while the drivers and managers started to murmur to themselves.

"Three months from now, the Qualifying Match will officially commence. It is going to be a series of three matches that will be held every three months before the Annual Lotus City Motor Speedway Championship. And as a rule, the top five of this year's race will be automatically qualified for next year's so they don't have to join the qualifying match series."

"So aside for the top five, the rest of you are welcome to participate again. My assistant will be passing you the registration forms." After saying that, his assistant, which is a female in her mid-20's dressed in a classic black office attire stood up from the side and passed a paper to each driver except for J, Hans, and the other three drivers.

"Aside from you, the Qualifying match will also be open for new racers." Mr. Gibbs said upon seeing that everyone already has the registration form in their hands.

"You still have three months to decide if you will be participating in the Qualifying match. Once you have decided, you can submit that registration form to my assistant." Mr. Gibbs said with a smile.

After a couple of seconds, his face turned serious.

"And also…" Mr. Gibbs paused and scanned the faces of everyone in front of him before he continued. "You have heard of a doping scandal involving a football player a couple of weeks ago."

Everyone turned silent and fixed their gaze at the serious Mr. Gibbs.
