Summary: In the middle of the 1986 Formula One season, a sometime romantic - and ridiculously naive - fifteen year old girl believes she has found her soul mate. Now if only she could actually meet him. A mostly unbelievable fable of second love featuring, in a supporting role, the background pairing of Ayrton Senna and Alain Prost.)
Author's Notes: Title taken from the much-quoted catchphrase of legendary British race commentator, Murray Walker. With thanks to Malcolm Folley's 2009 book Senna Versus Prost (although very little from the book was actually incorporated in this story), the usual online sources (wikipedia, youtube, etc), and some dimly remembered in-person encounters. (Note: if Julie - i.e., the OFC - were in fandom, she'd probably be wishing her name was "Mary Sue" so that she could have a little more influence on the events taking place around her. With any luck, she'll grow out of this phase. With even more luck, someday she just might be awesome.)
