AUs you say. I'm sick but I was like ya know what's cool. Mordern au for mad max felt every is like professional racers. Like just for like war boys they are on a factory team and like family and most have do it for their lives.
Oh my gosh, YES, I LOVE THIS.
Where the drivers are all still drivers and their lancers are now their pit crew bosses, and they’re all like a family and stuff and go out drinking together after races until one day Slit gets frustrated that his driver is SO famous and no one pays attention to the crew and tries to take over as the driver when Nux is sick. But when Nux fights back and enters the race, Slit deliberately doesn’t fix something in the car and Nux ends up in an accident and Slit realizes that he really fucked up this time. Nux is hurt and in the hospital and Slit tries to take over as the driver for the sponsors’ sakes, and he’s just...terrible.
And of course, Furiosa is the best driver on the track and her half-female pit crew is a crew to be reckoned with. She has high-profile sponsors, though, that she doesn’t agree with, and she gets censored in interviews for speaking out against Immortan Aqua Cola and its questionable donations to the type of people she hates. She wants to break free of the racing life and get out from under the corporate thumb, but she needs help. Enter a former driver named Max, who managed to do exactly what she’s looking to do, and who, begrudgingly, helps her on her mission to leave televised racing, and take the people she cares most about, her faithful crew, with her, to a whole new world of jobs that don’t involve working for someone like Joe.
I think this all kinda ran away from me, what was I talking about again?
