Tati: "Welcome to another thrilling edition of WOSSOM, where we take cars to places they may or may not belong. This time, we found ourselves in Italy, tackling one of the tightest and most demanding courses we’ve ever seen. The City Streets Rally is no joke—sharp corners, brutal cobblestones, and enough alleyways to make you question your sense of direction."
Rusty: "And to make things even better—or worse, dependin’ on how you see it—all the cars were driven by our very own Mr. Franco. The man has the reflexes of a cat… a cat that sometimes doesn’t land on its feet."
Benny: "This race had it all—speed, crashes, a sedan somehow beating dedicated race cars, and plenty of handbrake action. Some cars thrived, others… let’s just say they got a free lesson in urban survival."
Tati: "We had everything from tiny speedsters to big, powerful machines squeezing through impossible gaps. Some cars surprised us, some lived up to expectations, and others… well, they gave it a good effort. So, without further ado, let’s dive into the rankings and see who made the streets their playground and who barely made it out alive."
10th Place - Bellagio Nuvolari Corsa Rally Asfalto (1:45.885)
Rusty: "This car had style for days, but navigating the city streets was another story. It felt a bit too refined for a street rally, like a racehorse asked to do farm work. Still, it gave it a good shot."
Benny: "It’s like bringin’ a tuxedo to a street fight. Looks great, but it ain’t helpin’ you win."
Tati: "Timo, the designer, went for an experimental build here. A solid effort, but the streets were just too much for it."
Designer Commentary: Timo: "This was an experimental build, and while it looked the part, I now know how much I have to improve for the next race."
Tati: "A great learning experience, and honestly, with a few tweaks, this could have been a dark horse contender."
9th Place - XF Scoria Rally - Asphalt (1:44.187)
Tati: "Vento wanted aggressive toe-in for better cornering. Well, it definitely turned—in ways we didn’t always want it to."
Rusty: "It was fast… when it wasn’t on its roof. But hey, when it was upright, it had potential."
Benny: "A car with a built-in gymnastics routine. Fun to watch, though!"
Designer Commentary: Vento: "Say hello to the new and improved Scoria R! Now with severe negative toe-in to navigate those twisty city streets! Turns out, maybe I overdid it."
Benny: "Just a little! But hey, nothing wrong with pushing the limits. Next time, maybe dial it back just a notch."
8th Place - A.G. 14CV Racecar City Rally (1:37.648)
Benny: "A lightweight machine with only 119 horsepower. Sounds kinda weak, but somehow, it wasn’t the slowest. It actually handled okay—until it hit a curb and decided it was a low-altitude aircraft."
Tati: "A.G. said they tweaked it based on past experiences. Either they learned nothing, or they learned just enough to make it marginally less terrible."
Rusty: "At least it didn’t explode. That’s a victory in itself."
Designer Commentary: Machalel: "Tweaked based on feedback and race experience. A.G. made improvements for the City Rally… apparently not enough."
Rusty: "Hey, at least they tried. That’s more than I can say for some folks who just throw horsepower at their problems. Keep tuning it up, and who knows, maybe next time it won’t try to take flight."
7th Place - Dragon Motor Racing Superior Wyvern Rally Special (1:35.978)
Rusty: "My pick, and what a mistake that was! The Wyvern had a big ol’ V8 with 279 horsepower, but the only thing superior about it was its ability to scare the driver. Breadtheloaf hoped it wouldn’t kill the driver this time… and well, it just came close."
Tati: "It was like wrestling an alligator in a telephone booth."
Benny: "And it still beat three cars!"
Designer Commentary: Breadtheloaf: "The Wyvern is back, and hopefully this time it doesn’t want to kill its driver. It came closer than expected."
Rusty: "Closer than expected? I think it had a vendetta against Mr. Franco! But hey, the Wyvern’s a wild one—we love a challenge, even if it means holding on for dear life."
6th Place - Regal Aviator ‘Smoking 6’ (1:35.388)
Benny: "This one had a weird driving position. The whole front end felt like a separate vehicle. But man, when you got it right, it could move. Just not fast enough."
Tati: "Designed by Nolan Cables, it had potential, but it struggled with locking its rear axle. At least it wasn’t constantly trying to murder its driver."
Rusty: "It had the power, just not the finesse. Kind of like me."
Designer Commentary: Nolan Cables: "City streets are going to be Pioneer’s time to shine! Well, almost."
Tati: "Nolan had high hopes, and it nearly paid off. Maybe next time, just fix that locking rear axle!"
5th Place - Pioneer Sprint ‘Baby Blue’ (1:35.071)
Tati: "One of the smallest cars in the competition, but it wasn’t the giant-killer we expected. The light frame and short wheelbase made it agile, but it struggled to keep pace with the top contenders."
Benny: "The baby blue rocket! I was rootin’ for this one, but it just lacked the punch to push further up the ranks."
Rusty: "Great little car, just needed more grunt. Maybe a bigger engine next time?"
Designer Commentary: Nolan Cables: "We put everything we had into the Sprint. It was nimble, fun, and just shy of a podium. We’ll be back stronger!"
Tati: "That’s the spirit! It was an excellent effort, and I wouldn’t be surprised to see Pioneer back in the mix next time."
4th Place - CBC Carrier Mk1 ‘Street Sweeper’ (1:34.629)
Benny: "This was a surprise! The Carrier may be on its farewell tour, but it showed it’s still got fight left in it."
Tati: "CBC’s final run with the Carrier was a strong one. They refined its setup, and it held its own against stiff competition. It handled well, but just didn’t quite have the pace for the podium."
Rusty: "For a car named ‘Street Sweeper,’ it sure didn’t sweep the competition. But hey, fourth place ain't bad."
Designer Commentary: AKA_NOBUDDY: "Honestly, I was impressed by the driver in the city streets, being able to adapt to a right-hand drive Carrier so easily. We’ll make sure to get him a left-hand drive from now on. The Carrier may rest, but we’ve got two new cars coming soon."
Benny: "Sounds like CBC isn’t slowing down at all. Can’t wait to see what’s next!"
3rd Place - A.G. Renaissance V8 Racecar City Rally (1:33.605)
Tati: "Now THIS was a shock. A car the size of a battleship threading the needle through city streets. Who would’ve thought?"
Rusty: "Machalel didn’t have high hopes for it, but here it is, stealing third place. That V8 carried it, and it was surprisingly composed."
Benny: "I’d be lyin’ if I said I saw this one comin’."
Designer Commentary: Machalel: "3rd place for the A.G. Renaissance is more than I ever imagined, especially for such a large and heavy car on that track!"
Tati: "More proof that size isn’t everything. A fantastic performance!"
2nd Place - Phaeton City Streets Rally (1:29.449)
Benny: "Now this one? This was a proper contender. Tiny, nimble, and handled like it was born for these streets. It was just a whisper away from taking the win."
Tati: "Dog 959 built an incredibly well-balanced machine. It didn’t have the brute force of some competitors, but it danced through the course with precision."
Rusty: "If Mr. Franco hadn’t been behind the wheel, I reckon this thing might've actually won!"
Designer Commentary: Dog 959: "The Phaeton was built to handle these tight corners, and I think it showed. Happy to take second, but now I want that win."
Benny: "A real contender. This thing was quick and sharp—expect to see it at the front again soon."
1st Place - ACZ Stout V12 Sedan (1:27.940)
Benny: "THE STOUT DOES IT AGAIN! This big ol’ luxury car defied physics and took another win. 300 horsepower and 1,300 kilos of American fury!"
Tati: "Even Kreator, the designer, didn’t expect it to do well here. Yet, here it is, at the top. The Stout is a beast."
Rusty: "And all of these cars were driven by Mr. Franco. That man has nerves of steel… or just a terrible sense of self-preservation."
Designer Commentary: Kreator: "I was very surprised the first time when the Stout blew doors off in the time trial, but I’m even MORE surprised the large sedan won the city rally. I thought for sure it’d end up in a wall somewhere."
Benny: "Kreator doubted his own car, and yet it keeps proving everyone wrong. The Stout isn’t just a winner, it’s a legend!"
Additional Designer Commentary & Upcoming Developments Ah, well, well—Moroza fires back!
Tati: "Ah, so the beast was intentionally left rabid? Fair enough! I'll admit, even I enjoy a bit of four-wheeled chaos, though I usually prefer it with a touch more control. Still, if the goal was pure spectacle, mission accomplished. Even if, ultimately, it was a rather expensive smoke machine."
Rusty: "Look, ain't nothin' wrong with buildin' somethin' so mean it wants to eat the road and half the driver with it. But if yer drivin’ on a keyboard, that's like wranglin’ a bull with a piece o’ string! No wonder it went feral! Still, respect fer goin’ full send rather than playin’ it safe like some city-slicker accountant's sedan."
Benny: "Ayy, now that’s what I like to hear! Even if it got 'clowned,' it had the crowd on their feet. And you right—clowns can be scary! Just ask anyone who’s seen one pop outta the trunk at a kid’s birthday party. DCMW ain’t just about winnin’, it’s about puttin’ on a show, and that you did, my friend. Next time, we’ll be waitin’ for whatever wild ride you got next!"
So keep building, keep pushing, and we’ll be here to put it through its paces—whether it’s tamable or a total maniac.
CBC Carrier Farewell & New Models
Tati: "AKA_NOBUDDY confirmed that the Carrier model is retiring. A solid showing in its final rally, but now CBC is setting their sights on new terrain."
Designer Commentary: AKA_NOBUDDY: "Honestly, I was impressed by the driver in the city streets, being able to adapt to a right-hand drive Carrier so easily. We’ll make sure to get him a left-hand drive from now on. The Carrier may rest, but we’ve got two new cars coming soon."
Benny: "Sounds like they’re not slowing down one bit! New cars, new challenges—can’t wait."
A.G. Renaissance’s Shock Success & Future Upgrades
Rusty: "Machalel didn’t expect much from the Renaissance, but it muscled its way onto the podium. Now, A.G. is doubling down."
Designer Commentary: Machalel: "3rd place for the Renaissance is more than I ever imagined, especially for such a large and heavy car on that track! I was almost giving up on it, but you proved me wrong… We’re now dedicating time to rally tuning. Expect a major power and suspension overhaul."
Tati: "That’s the kind of dedication we love to see. Next time, it might not just be a surprise podium—it might be a real contender."
Dragon Motor Racing’s Next Move
Rusty: "Breadtheloaf’s Wyvern was a beast—sometimes a bit too much of one! But he’s not done yet."
Designer Commentary: Breadtheloaf: "The Wyvern’s much tamer sibling will be replacing it for the next two races. We’ll reveal it soon."
Benny: "A ‘tamer’ dragon? I’ll believe it when I see it! But hey, if it’s still got that DMR magic, I’m on board."
Stout’s Dominance & Pioneer’s Next Entry
Tati: "Kreator was stunned that the Stout won again. And now, Pioneer’s Nolan Cables is teasing something new."
Designer Commentary: Kreator: "I was very surprised the first time when the Stout blew doors off in the time trial, but I’m even MORE surprised the large sedan won the city rally. Time to work on my next entry!"
Designer Commentary: Nolan Cables: "We found an early production model of our next Pioneer car. More details soon!"
Rusty: "More cars, more competition—this next round is gonna be even more exciting."
Final Thoughts & Upcoming Events
Tati: "With the Carrier and Wyvern saying their farewells, and new models on the horizon, we’re moving on to the next challenge. Baja and gravel rally, anyone?"
Benny: "CBC is bringing a new lineup, A.G. is reworking their racecars, and Pioneer might have something cookin’. Gonna be wild."
Rusty: "The Dragon Motor Racing boys are working on a tamer version of their car. Clipped wings? We'll see about that."
Tati: "Until next time. Mr. Franco, get us some proper tires next time, yeah?"
