It was a bright day at the Jackson Racing headquarters. The sun was full and was halfway high up in the sky, bathing the entire place with its warm midday light.
The air was thin and cool at the same time, bringing about a soft breeze now and then. The trees bordering the headquarters swayed lightly to this breeze that seemed to be controlled by the few scattered clouds drifting lazily across the pale blue sky above.
Luca received wholesome news earlier that day that he would be racing with Rodnick in the season's opener, the Monaco Grand Prix.
This was a result he'd been inwardly doubting since, but now he was glad it had been resolved—even though it meant the disappointment of another, Di Renzo.
So, the drills leading up to the first action Sunday of the year would focus on Luca and Rodnick, though Di Renzo and the rest would still participate.
