A Road Race
Hi. My name is Fiyo. I want to share my experience of watching a sport event. There was a motor racing event held in my city several months before the pandemic. Hearing the news that my friend, Andi, took part in the race, I wanted to watch the event. I came to Andi and said that some friends and I would watch the event. He was happy to hear it.
The day of the event arrived; we went there to watch Andi. When we got at the venue, a lot of people had filled the place. We bought some bottles of iced coffee. I liked the taste of the drinks. The event turned out to be more than just a motorcycle race; it was also a motorcycle modification exhibition. We took the time to see the exhibition. I was amazed to see some extremely modified motors. Faintly, I also heard the sounds of motorbikes and the clapping of the spectators watching the race. Sometimes we also smelled the gasoline used by the racers.
After a while, we heard an announcement that Andi's 125cc class was about to start. We immediately headed to the circuit to get the front row. We saw Andi getting ready at the starting line. The scene at the starting line gave me goosebumps, and seeing the riders on their motorcycles pumped up my adrenaline. The spectators cheered on the racers. So did we
A few moments later, the race started, and the starting flag was hoisted. We saw Andi speeding away. We felt both excited and scared when Andi and the other racers tried to overtake each other. I felt the sun burned my skin but I ignored it. I didn't even have time to drink, even though I was thirsty because of the tense.
The race was getting tense when it was only two laps away. Andi tried to catch up with and overtake the racer number two, but to no avail. The race was over, Andi was at the position three. We are relieved that the race was over. Andi might be a bit disappointed because he was only at the third position. But for us, that was extraordinary to see Andi's opponents who were really great.
